    Cheese Burger w/ fries and onion rings.

    Food was bland. The onion rings actually tasted like the same batter they fry their perch fish in. The burger patty had no seasoning. I'm sure we won't be back.

    Yes, that's ONE order of the fried chicken sandwich!

    See the pic for the fried chicken sandwich. The onion rings are hand breaded and amazing. Great customer service as well!

    This visit to Chicken King started off bad. I placed an order for pick up and I didn't check it. Once I got home the food was correct. One of the salads was made completely wrong and he other had hard lettuce stems in it. I gave them a call back and after speaking to the manager/ owner , Theo gave me the option to bring the food back for a refund or to have it remade. I stated I wanted a refund. I didn't want to drive back today but they told me to bring the food back either today or tomorrow for a refund. I decided to go ahead and drive it back today. Who wants old food they can't eat sitting at their house. Once I got there Theo spoke with me and stated he would refund me and would remake the food. I think that was really noteworthy that he remade the food and gave me my money back. Overall this turned a horrible experience into a good one. The food was a lot better and they made sure everything was made correctly. Chicken King 13215 General Dr Charlotte, NC 28273 Thursday August 6, 2020 2:30pm

    I have been here several times.I have always had very good service. And the food is exceptional, very clean restaurant.

    Fish and shrimp
    Mina A.

    I give this location a 2 because it's not somewhere I would prefer to eat. However it's still ok. I ordered the fish and shrimp meal and it was my first time visiting. The lady at the register didn't speak English she only knew the items that was on the menu. When I asked for the fish to be cooked a little longer she had to ask someone else what did I say. The order still came out wrong but not only that the quality of the food just wasn't up there. Very greasy and sloppy. The food is very much rushed and more of a older feeling nothing special.

    Chicken Philly with fries.
    Keysha P.

    First time trying this spot last night (1-18-19). So far so good! We ordered two chicken Phillies. The sandwich was a nice size and it came with French fries. Nothing fancy just a place to get a quick bite to eat. The chicken Philly was good, plenty of mozzarella cheese on it and good soft bread. My only critique is that they should include a 20 ounce drink with the plates at the $8+ price.....I should not have to spend $10 to add a drink. Especially when you look at the fact that Cookout is right across the street from them and you can get a sandwich, two sides and a huge drink for $5! Second visit to Chicken King recently and unfortunately I have to lower my stars from 3 stars to two. Ordered the chicken Philly which is the same thing that I ordered the first time. This time the sandwich barely had any cheese on it and the French fries that come with it were not freshly cooked......taste like they were cooked and left sitting around. Maybe they had an off day or a different cook.....will try another time.

    Occupying a former Sonic, but with all the drive up stuff removed and just a simple drive through remaining, there's a very small area to line up and then place your order. It's burgers and fries and chicken wings, mostly. Some salads, too. At lunch time, the place was packed with pickup trucks and work vans as the place was full up with blue collar workers getting their lunch on. I heard lots of orders for the "chicken wing dinner" being called out, so I'm guessing it's good? I just had a grilled chicken sub and it was decent. A lot of hot chicken, chopped into cubes and served with the usual fixings and then topped with provolone cheese. Tasty. And a big mess of fries too.

    Plain chicken philly, added my own seasoning salt to the fries
    Jonique M.

    Chicken king is nothing fancy but it gets the job done. I routinely order the chicken philly from here and it never disappoints. They are very generous with the amount of chicken that they give you. The fries... definitely need work. The service is typically fast and friendly, they have a drive thru but I've never utilized it. Definitely worth a visit for a quick bite to eat.

    Called ahead, pulled up, was warmly greeted, my order was being completed, & I had an enjoyable lunch! 1st time on the Po-Boy, & I must say... I was 'not' disappointed. Like the adage says... "You get what you pay for"!!!

    Took one of Yelp's suggestions for lunch in the area (Thanks, Yelp!) and ate at the Irish Pub…read morecalled Nora Mac's. Lots of dark wood, dark green upholstery, and Irish Knick-knacks/advertisements/decor, plus traditional Irish music playing. There is also rooftop seating. I ordered the Lavender Gin Spritz from the seasonal cocktail menu, along with a starter of Bread and Butter (homemade Irish Brown Bread with a selection of freshly made butters) and The Orchard Salad topped with grilled chicken. The salted butter was definitely my favorite with the bread but it was fun to try the sweet maple cinnamon butter and savory fresh herb butter. Our food arrived lightning fast. Unfortunately the kitchen was out of apples, which would have added a nice crunch and tang to the salad, but I just sipped my drink (which was not lavender forward) to get that "bite" instead. Service was friendly and fast.

Although the patio isn't huge, it is still setup nicely so that you don't feel like you're sitting on top of others. I definitely plan on returning in the near future to work my way through their menu.

    TLDR version: Food was good, staff was friendly and engaging, ambience was fairly loud for dinner,…read moreprice was on par. Full review: My wife and I went for dinner, which was good, but I think this place fares better as a local bar/drinking establishment. We went on a Friday evening and were able to sit down at a table right away. There aren't very many tables here so just be aware if you're headed in for dining. We were greeted fairly promptly (by a woman later noted to be a bartender) to take our drink order and were told that another server would be along to take our food order. She returned with our drinks in a comfortably timely fashion and ended up taking our food order directly pretty shortly thereafter following some seemingly sincere feedback on some of the menu item questions posed by us. That was the last we saw of her though continued service from her seems like it would have been pleasant. Our food came out in a reasonable turnaround time, and the food runner was a good engagement and was genuine about asking if we needed anything further at the moment, which we did not. I had the Black Flag Chicken Wrap with street corn as a side and my wife had the Black Flag Bowl. Both meals were good serving sizes and tasty. That said, we depleted our initial drinks about midway through the meal and had to wait a bit longer than I would've liked for refill needs to be identified by staff. Eventually the server that was originally identified to have presumptively taken our order popped by the table and grabbed us our wanted refills promptly before eventually brining our check when we were done. The music was very loud which, as mentioned at the top of the review, is befitting for a bar/drinking visit but was a bit much for dinner. Additionally, we were seated very close to the pool tables and there was a group playing on one of them that was excessively loud. The combination made dinner conversation nearly impossible. Overall, we were glad to have visited and will likely return with a better understanding of the mood/vibe before we head there.

    Review for Brown Bag Seafood Co…read more This was my first introduction to Brown Bag Seafood Co., and since we don't have this concept back in Northern California, I was definitely curious to try it. As someone who grew up around incredible seafood in the Bay Area -- places like Sam's Chowder House and New England Fish Company -- my expectations were naturally a little high. When you're close to the coast, the bar for seafood is set pretty high. That said, this is a very simple, fast-casual seafood concept, and they execute that model consistently. I've now visited a few locations -- one in Huntersville, one that used to be in South End on Worthington, and this Uptown location on Tryon -- and they all share the same strengths: * Clean, well-organized spaces * Nice outdoor seating * Convenient locations in walkable, high-traffic areas * Fast, efficient service The menu is straightforward but flexible. You can build your meal in a lot of different ways -- dress it up, keep it light, or customize it to your taste -- which is a big plus. Food-wise, it's good... just not memorable. The lobster roll, for me, was a little on the greasy side. I tend to prefer a lighter preparation. The tacos, on the other hand, were a better fit -- fresh, flavorful, and a bit easier to enjoy. Overall, the food is solid, but it hasn't quite become my first choice when I'm craving seafood. Value-wise, prices are reasonable for the concept, and the experience is reliable. It's a dependable option when you're downtown, short on time, or looking for a quick seafood fix. Bottom line: Clean, convenient, and consistent -- but not destination dining for me. Still, it's worth trying at least once to see how it fits your taste. Charlotte -- be curious and get out there and eat your way through this city. There's something for every palate.
