Just stopped in Chicken King with multiple orders for lunch. (Mt. Holly location) This was an awful experience for me and I will never ever return. The manager was extremely rude and disrespectful and it really pissed me off! Lesson learned...I will spend my money else where. read more

Buffalo chicken pita, fried okra, and fried OMGosh get in my belly ... It's the only thing I've ever gotten. It's good!! Cooked to order so don't rush them... Why wouldn't you wait for that?!? Staff is always nice, even when I put my pick up order in late. Fair prices, and always clean. read more

Friendly, courteous staff. Clean facilities. Broad menu. Good food, especially the homemade onion rings. I will eat here again when in the area. read more

Wait was extremely long, but food was good. Not worth the prices though. Don't think I'd go back. Customer service was lacking as well read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this little gem I didn't know existed. The flounder was thick & meaty, the portions were large and the prices were very reasonable. The onion rings were fresh (not frozen), collards, mac n' cheese, and tarter sauce met my approval. Staff was friendly so I'll definitely return! read more

This was a nice little surprise that we located in downtown Mount Holly. We went twice in one week. The staff is so friendly & seems to know everyone who walked in the door. On my first visit I got chicken and dumplings which were as good as my moms. I also got green beans & corn. The green beans are seasoned just right. Every thing was delicious. We returned two days later, and I liked the green beans so much that I got them again along with the fried chicken and mashed potatoes with gravy. The chicken was delicious. I am a fan of Bojangles chicken, but thought this was better. Great place to get a meal. read more

Do not recommend this place. Poor service. The other staff maybe good, the person who took our order was very unprofessional. Food was very dried and over cooked. read more

I just left this resteraunt for the 2nd time for the same meal. So upset I did a call in order for pickup the meal was 2 chicken liver and gizzard dinners went to pickup meal and bring home the upsetting part was I was missing my gizzards. I called back and was told I did not say gizzards but, bring back meal. So I am upset no apology and when I get there is was told I had to pay 85cents more. Now after using my 85cents in gas to go back for a corrected meal I could not get over them asking for more money which I paid and decided I would never go there again read more

Chicken King - a meal in a plastic container - Fast Food Near Me - Mount Holly, North Carolina

Oh my!!!! I can't believe that I have lived here for 8 years and have never been here! Finally went in last week and I am absolutely going to be a regular customer!! I ordered the 4 piece chicken dinner (mixed light and dark) with fries and Cole slaw. My son ordered the Philly Cheesesteak w/ fries. We also added a bowl of chicken and dumplings. ALL were OUTSTANDING!!! We also ordered the strawberry cheesecake and banana pudding. My son declared that it was the "best" cheesecake he ever had! I had the banana pudding and it was VERY good. The service was friendly and helpful. This was our first visit and the menu is quite extensive! We are excited to find a local establishment with such good food. We WILL be back! read more

Love this place and the people. The cashiers are the soul of the place. The food is southern comfort. Family oriented and good price. Update: the original cashiers are gone and the service is suffering. Poor customer service, hang up on customers to go orders, incorrect orders, etc. too bad I liked this place. Not going back after two calls to place orders just to get hung up on. read more

If you are searching for hot, fast, cheap, greasy soul food and be welcome with a big smile then this is the place for you. I use to eat here. They have great lunch specials like a home cooked southern meal. However i no longer eat here for i am more health conscious and this type of food is not conducive to my weight loss and overall heart health. I wish they have baked broiled grilled food with fresh fruits and vegetables not soaking in oil :( oh well it was good while it last just not my cup of tea anymore. Never going back. Sorry. read more

First time here hope the food is as good as the people working register. Normal small time Greek restaurant in the southeast. Good food and if you are nice good people. Ole read more

I wanted to like this place since it is a local Mt Holly restaurant. I ordered the big family meal for 23.95 and asked how big the sides were. The cashier showed me a small styrofoam container so I asked for an extra mashed potatoes. It rang up $31.95. I asked, "Isn't an extra side $2.10 like it was listed on the board? She said that extra sides were actually 4.95. When I referenced the 2.10 price she said, "That price is for small sides, not extra sides." At that point I just left- at worst false advertising and at best, bad business. I ended up going to Churches and got more food and a half gallon of tea for $20! read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place they never fail my order, the people that work there are nice, i've recommended people to come here and they tell me that they love it i will continue to come here it is amazing read more

Delicious food! Love the chicken, calabash shrimp, all the sides and their delicious desserts. Great prices and nice portions

I don't know how you screw up bbq but their place found success to do it ‍ if u order it better get gallon of tea talking about jerky and bunt on top from having it premise and tossed it in a oven to heat it up. Huss puppies dripping in grease and Mac and cheese was trash. I've ate at a lot places in past 10 years. This worst place I've ate at will never come back. Service sucked as well and rude l. read more

The buffalo chicken sandwich was very good, but messy! The chicken Philly was also very good, but lacked a little flavor. They have amazing ranch! The portions are also very large! The meals come with regular fries, you can substitute for many things but it's all at an upcharge. read more

Hidden little gem in Mt. Holly! Food and service are always wonderful. The staff are super friendly and remember your name and order! Inexpensive prices, good diner food. read more

Been here a couple times now and it's always exceeded my expectations. Very casual atmosphere with a super friendly staff. They make you feel right at home. We've had the chicken salad sandwich, chicken tenders box, fried chicken combo, green beans, mac and cheese, and collards. Everything is delicious and cooked to order, at very reasonable prices. We love this place and will be back often. read more

This place use to be pretty good. You use to be greeted by very energetic smiling faces that made it feel like a real down home southern diner. It hasn't felt like that in awhile. The food is at best, average. It's not the kind of place where you say "Chicken King has a really good......". Everything is just average. But if I have to make a suggestion I would say the Philly Cheese steak would be a 6 out of 10 and their Salt n Pepper Catfish is a 7 out of 10. To me that is their two best dishes. Be prepared to pay more if using a card. Don't ask me why, but this new policy coupled with mediocre food means Chicken King is now at the bottom of the list of places to eat for us. And with so many options close by in Charlotte and Belmont I don't see us eating there any time soon. read more

I absolutely love this place! The chicken tastes as good as my great grandma used to make, so I almost always get a two piece meal with fried okra, but everything I've ordered had been excellent! They have daily specials, and you can switch out your sides if you like on your meals. My husband also loves their burgers. This is a no frills, casual place - like a lot of small restaurants in NC. The best part though? The staff here is amazing! They treat you like family. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon this place today for lunch. I had the 2 piece chicken with corn and green beans. My husband had the catfish plate with fries and slaw. It was so good! My chicken was cooked and seasoned just right! The sides were tasty and a great compliment to the meat. My husband loved his as well. He had to bring some home there was so much food. I just want to add that the ladies working the front of house......were AWESOME! They were so nice....made us feel right at home. They laughed with us and made it a fun lunch. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

The collards were under done severely, despite being very greasy & it being the end of the day. We ordered an 8 piece chicken meal, mixed light & dark. We got 10 pieces, but only 1 breast, the rest dark (which we appreciated the extra pieces in lieu of the other breast). We did not receive the promised rolls however. The chicken was ok, but not spectacular. The potato salad was quite good though! The tea was good too. To begin with, the service was too. What was really not good though, was as we were wrapping up to leave, it was closing time, and our son ran across the restaurant (he was acting up as it was close to bed time and he is 4- they implode). I went to chase him and slipped and fell down on the wet floor. I told them they needed to put the wet floor sign up, the guy mopping said tersely, "it was out." I looked again on my way out the door and yes, there was the wet floor sign, stuck in between two tables where I would never have seen it if I hadn't looked for it. My knee is all bruised and hurting now, and to add insult to injury, one of the girls behind the counter muttered to herself loud enough for me to hear, "that kid needs his ass whooped" !!!!!!! This is why you get two stars, Chicken King, and we will not be back. It's not your employees place to say crap like that. At least have the basic Southern decency to wait until I'm gone before you start talking about me and my rambunctious kid. read more

Whitney and Casey are the absolute sweetest ladies I have ever met in a restaurant or anywhere that works with the public daily for that matter! The food is delicious and the portions are huge too but the way both Casey and Whitney make everyone feel special and like family is an even better reason to eat at Chicken King in Mt.Holly!! Don't confuse this place with the Chicken Bucket because trust me when I say they are totally different from the quality, taste and quantity of food right down to the staff!! read more

Staff is super friendly and know many customers on a first name basis. Great place if you want simple and real good food. I eat here at least once a week. I always order the flounder plate but they have a pretty large menu. read more

Eat here a lot. Only have had 1 bad experience where grilled chicken tastes like a raw onion. Everything else I have ever ordered has been good. I recommend the pork chop sandwich, trout, beef tips, greens, and of course the homemade ranch. Yum. read more

The owners have changed and the food is terrible. All new staff ands to the confusion. We loved this restaurant, but we won't be going there again. read more

Walk into the restaurant the person taking the orders stop from taking our order to take a call in oder. While waiting on her to finish up the phone call they ran out of the side I wanted. Then they were out of fried chicken and it would be a 15 minute wait. 45 minutes later I went up to see what was going on. They told me that all the people were waiting on chicken also. While I was waiting to ask my question they filled 2 peoples go orders. It was another 10 they brought our order. Too much attitude from the man at the counter!!! I have ate there at least10 tomes, there will not be a next time. read more

Had dinner here last week. Was a spur of the moment stop as I was not feeling great, didn't have a dinner plan and the 2 toddlers of mine were starving! Talk about excellent service from the staff! Not to mention great food! Large portions for a great price...plus Pepsi on tap! Will be back for sure! read more

Liver and onions buttered corn and pintos all hot well cooked and delicious. There have been several restaurants at this location but this is by far the best. Mount Holly has another great place to dine. read more

Southern comfort food at its best! Hush puppies to die for! Food is delicious, cashiers are very friendly, food is always made very quickly. We've tried most things on the menu, all have been perfectly fried and very flavorful. Tip: if you get the fish sandwich to go, get sauce on the side because it will get soggy. read more

I have found nothing here that isn't 5 star. The food is great, the staff is very courteous and fun, and a great atmosphere. Keep it up!

I love this place. The food is great and served quickly. The prices are very reasonable. The staff is super-friendly and appeciative of your business. You have to give this place a try! read more

We absolutely love it here. The staff is so friendly and the food is great. There were a few times when our order was lost but they made it up to us. The girls up front treat us like family. The BBQ is great and bacon cheeseburgers are also. The sweet tea does not disappoint either! We look forward to our next visit. read more

Had the gyro and found it to be one of the best around. The staff are amazingly friendly and seem to know what their customers want even before they get to the counter. I would highly recommend this place just on customer service alone. Not to mention they have an extensive menu from burgers to chicken gizzards. read more

No sharing drinks allowed, since theres free refills.. really!?? And the drink doesn't come with the special? Why not? Its already expensive as is! read more

First time visiting. Got the salt and pepper flounder and calabash shrimp with a side of mac n cheese and mashed potatoes n gravy..to go. First off, the customer service alone is reason enough to go back, everyone was so friendly and inviting when I walked in. Secondly, your food is cooked to order and you also get nice sized portions! Unfortunately, my food didn't wow me like I'd hoped. The flounder and shrimp were pretty soggy and limp (kinda like it wasnt fried long enough or maybe it was put in oil that wasn't quite hot enough yet. Not sure but I had to put it in my airfryer to crisp it up before i could eat any. My mac n cheese didnt look like any of the pics posted and was pretty bland. Same for the potatoes so i really didnt eat either. On a brighter note, the menu is extensive and happy customers were coming and going while I was there so definitely give them try. I'm more than willing to try something else on the menu before making a final decision. Plus the desserts looked amazing! All in all, I apprecaite the friendliness and professionalism of the staff and can't wait to give it another go. Fingers crossed!! read more

We have always got good food. But they have the best salads around. The Greek is my favorite but the other ones are good to. My husband likes the grilled Pork chops. He says they have a good flavor and are tender. You get plenty of food for your money. Chicken tips are great as well. Friendly service. Great restaurant. read more

Good food and good service. Don't let the name fool you the burgers and vegetables are excellent!

I have been going to chicken king for the past 2 &1/2 years and have never had an issue. On Wednesday night me and my boyfriend were craving Chicken King. I never try things new I stick to my original buffalo chicken sandwich. But this time I order the Ribeye Steak Sandwich. When I went to take my first bite what seemed like skin to me wouldn't come off.. After looking at it I realized my ribeye steak was wrapped in PLASTIC... And the sandwich was cooked with the PLASTIC left on there then served to me. My boyfriend took it up to the register and they immediately gave him his money back.. So apparently that happens a lot. Not sure I can get past that so we will not be returning to this Chicken King for quiet awhile. read more
