I visited this establishment for the first time two weeks ago. Very little seating and not the nicest decor, but who cares. The food was awesome. I ordered the tilapia plate and I couldn't eat it right away because it was smoking hot! The fish was so good. The coleslaw taste like KFC's, hush puppies and fries were good also. Needless to say I came back two days later for the same items, but this time I bought my bff with me and she had the catfish plate. After finally taking a breather from eating she said it was awesome! The portions are large and believe me you won't leave hungry unless you shared your plate with some one and even then you won't be starving. Next time I will try the chicken. read more

Chicken King - 4. Bacon Cheeseburger 2 Chicken Tenders Box - Chicken Wings Near Me - Gastonia, North Carolina

Always Good food and good prices, their chicken gizzards are top notch! Service is good, always been friendly.

It's hard for me to knock food spots. This really has the potential, it really does. Plentiful from chicken, seafood, american. I ordered the Trio. Came with Fish, shrimp and small buffalo wings. I did like the popcorn shrimp that came with his bunch. The wings were ok, not great. All of it needed more flavor. Added some hot sauce to them. I can tell it is a popular spot as the line could quickly go to the door when ordering. Food was blah./ok. Grade: C read more

Chicken King - Trio. Wings, shrimp, fish fries - Chicken Wings Near Me - Gastonia, North Carolina

We were excited to try this place and I became really sick after eating . I thought it was just me until my mom and sister also ate the fish and hamburgers and became very sick . So three of us are projectile vomiting due to this food , never again read more

We get an awesome-tasting meal for a great price every time. Tasty chicken. Delicious sandwiches. Fast service. Charlotte has Price's Chicken Coop. Gastonia has Chicken King. This spot of Chicken King is actually a location of a small chain based in Charlotte. Ample parking. Almost adjacent to the new FUSE stadium in west Gastonia. Solid affordable prices. Currently no seating due to COVID but they used to have a few tables in the front. read more

The salad's at the Chicken King my daughters go to. The chicken is what you'd expect but always hot and fresh. Same their Fried fish. They do charge for extra dressing Just a FYI..... read more

As a previous reviewer said, this place has potential. Especially being right next to the Fuse district. The customer service is pretty terrible to be honest. We placed our order over the phone - and one of my friends tried to order a 2 piece meal with a breast and thigh and was told "We don't do that." My friend offered to pay extra for the thigh, and was told "No." He then offered to purchase a thigh in addition to a regular 2-piece meal, and was again told "No." In what universe do you tell a customer no when they are trying to pay for a product you sell? You run a chicken restaurant that sells chicken and you're telling us no? Extremely disrespectful and poor service. Will not return regardless of meal quality. Yikes. read more

Just discovered Chicken King a few months ago. The Grilled Chicken Salad and Greek Salad are great. The chicken is grilled with Greek seasoning. The Gyro was excellent, and I really like the Chicken Pita! Remember to spring for the Tzatziki (cha-cheeky) sauce! It's fantastic! The fries that accompany most orders are your typical crinkle cuts with a little bit of seasoning on them. They are nothing to write home about but they are usually hot. I see a lot of folks ordering wings, fried chicken, and the fish plate here, but I haven't worked my way through all of the menu yet. The building is an old gas station that has been painted bright orange on the outside. There is not much sit-in ambiance but it is good place to grab something hot, fast, and tasty. The salads are high on iceberg lettuce but provide somewhat of a healthy alternative. I have three friends who regularly get the salads here and they swear by them. read more

My daughter ordered food through Door Dash from Chicken King. She ordered chicken tenders with fries and an order of squash. She got the squash and an empty box. I can't believe you would send out an empty box!! I wish I could review with no stars! read more

We love this place. The salads are delicious and fresh. The fish sandwich was excellent. Not overly impressed with the kids meal, but I wasn't eating it and they kids were happy. read more

I ordered a grilled chicken chef salad, it was delicious! Hot grilled chicken, melted cheese and fresh veggies in my salad! We called in our order and picked it up in 15 minutes. Due to the Covid-19 virus it was so convenient to call in the order and walk in, pick it up and go. I would highly recommend this location for it's great food, cleanliness and great customer service. read more

I have eaten here a few times in the last few years and it was fine. I stopped in yesterday and ordered a flounder plate. The fish was still swimming! It was rancid! I informed the young man behind the counter and he was not bothered by it whatsoever! He never offered us any reason or another plate of food! Just do not eat here! It is very ghetto and people come in half naked with crusty ashy skin! It is a filthy place to eat! Hood chicken King! The employees do not care what they feed you! read more

I have visited this greasy spoon on several occasions in west Gastonia, NC. Last time I was there I almost fell down from all the grease on the vinyl flooring when I received my togo order for calabash shrimp and when I got it home, the shrimp was soggy with grease and under cooked. The manger was rude and talked about me before I entered the door. Then after I paid in advance he ordered me to repark my truck even though there was no other customer there and there was parking on both sides of me. Do not waste your money. You will regret it. Very dirty place and they hand you your food behind a big plastic screen. Only one person was friendly to me while I waited. It won't happen again! read more

Don't come in here looking for any of that health food mess. They're a fried chicken livers, and burgers kind of joint. They may not look like much from the outside, but the food is bangin. read more

Your typical average fried chicken spot. I placed my order over the phone due to the Covid 19 restrictions for takeout only. I personally got the chicken filet that comes with fries. The food like I said , is average. The fries and breading for the chicken could be crispier and overall more seasoned. The customer service I received over the phone was terrible. I asked a simple question. I just wanted to know if they had a spicy version for the chicken filet and she was very rude and told me to look online for the menu. As I continued to place my order, she got impatient and proceeded with her rude replies. I gave her the benefit of the doubt because when I got there to pick up the food, there was only two hispanic ladies packing orders, ringing up, and taking phone calls. When I was rung up for my pick up order, the cashier instantly knew who I was from the phone order, she gave me rude looks, then proceeded to talk in spanish about me to her coworker. My boyfriend who was with me, is Mexican and immediately told me the insults she was implying. I'm not happy about the customer service. I am manager in the restaurant industry so I completely understand being understaffed but I would never allow my employees to act / talk to customers in that manner under ANY circumstances. I'm very disappointed and I will talk to management about this employee. In no way do I want her fired, but she definitely needs a reality check on how to deal with customers. read more

It's was ok, but then they changed cooks and possibly management. Just bland and cheap if you're on a budget. Not somewhere I would eat frequently. read more

Regular customer, got order completely wrong left off wings. Since everybody that works there except for that night knows me and my kids, thought that next time I ordered would be taken care of since I am a known regular. They did nothing to keep a person that orders once or twice a week. Owner would not talk hid behind counter girl! Service is service no matter what area you serve! read more

Stop in today. The place is not much to look at. I asked the very polite young girl behind the counter what was good. She said,"Everything". I asked her to recommend something and she strangely said the Double cheeseburger. So I ordered that and the Gyro just in case. I was very pleased! The burger was what a burger should be! I would order that again for sure, but maybe in a week so so after I work this one off. Only took a bite of the Gyro just to see, it too was good! The prices are great and the food is too! I'm only in town for a few days but they will be seeing me everyday until I leave! read more

They need better customer service... the owner is a ass hole.... seems like he has no respect for customers... been there a few times and it seem they forget something everytime and i have to wait after i called in my order... last time i went they didn't even have my order after i called it in... owner ask me did i call the right number... i felt like duh you are the only one in this town... i asked if i could have my chicken on the side... i got a salad and he was an ass hole about that... like buddy maybe you should go and let someone else run your business... it cost nothing to show your customers a little respect... i gave it 4 tries THANK GOD FOR SHOW MARS read more

Recently visited Chicken King(12-14-19) with my mother and sister. We have gone to the establishment on numerous occasions. As always we ordered 6-pc chicken mini drum/wing meal. Decided upon dessert and ordered banana pudding. Took first bite and perhaps still had taste of chicken lingering on taste buds. Took a bite of the cool whipped topping and then another bite of the pudding. Immediately knew something was not right. Jumped up and went into kitchen to get paper towel to spit into. Banana pudding had spoiled and soured. At that point felt like I was going to vomit. Called establishment and was told by an employee there("not surprised") that he mixes them up all together...when he goes and get new ones and then places them all back in fridge to sell to unsuspecting patrons. Don't know about you but that is no way to treat customers. He simply "DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU." His bottom line is his DOLLAR. Took pudding back up there to simply let him smell it. His face said it all. He had enough nerve to say "he purchased it from another vendor." Not acknowledging at all his responsibility in the matter. For that reason he was reported to Health Department(Environmental Division). Please do the same. We deserve more than him when it comes to where we spend our hard-earned money. Don't give him a break. He didn't give us one. PO'd. Gastonia, NC read more

They are always fast and friendly and we order from the regularly for lunch at work! They are certainly well worth the money - great bang for your buck! My favorite are their chicken tenders! Delicious ! We tried ordering from DOOR DASH - don't do it! The service for them is awful - I mention that to say - Chicken King made the entire situation right - well on their end, I'm still dealing with Door Dash - but CHICKEN KING is FANTASTIC! Not only did they help me out when I called to figure out what was going on - they REMADE the order when we got there so that it was hot and fresh! Great job guys! That's why you keep us coming back! read more

I've placed orders over the phone many times and received excellent service! This particular Saturday, November 11, 2017 about 5pm I placed an order over the phone. When I arrived at the establishment, I tried to explain to the owner (I suppose) that the one order was told to me incorrectly so would he please change it for me. He said the lady on the phone had said cheeseburger plate...No lady called him...It was me (male) believe me I don't sound female! He seemed to get an attitude. I told him I did not like his attitude and to cancel the order and go fuck himself! I don't care if I eat their ever again. I went elsewhere for it was my 63rd birthday! read more

Great food every time! I recommend the chicken Philly or the calabash shrimp. So good! And the employees are very friendly.

visited for the first time today,ordered 2 piece chicken dinner,the chicken must have been on a diet or was not being fed for days up till his demise because there was no meat at all and it tasted like pork skins out of a bag.they did give me about a pound of fries with the order ,if you name your business chicken king you better knock the socks off with the chicken plates,i will avoid this place and just go to bojangles or kfc next time! read more
