My SO heard a radio spot for this restaurant and we both decided to take a chance. Not knowing what to expect, we giggled at the fact that it's just a small place with only a walk-up window. We arrived about 30 minutes prior to closing and the line was wrapping down the sidewalk. Surprisingly the service was quick - even with the long line we only waited about 10 minutes for our food. The staff was extremely helpful with their menu since we were newbies. The food is prepared fresh. The chicken was hot, juicy and flavorful. The chicken strips are HUGE. We actually could've shared one meal. Beware: even the lowest "hot" level is still pretty spicy. So if you're sensitive go with "0" heat. And don't pass up the frozen lemonade! Price is pretty reasonable. I think we paid around $20 for two combos (chicken, fries and drink). We've been back more than once after our first visit. We are customers for life! read more

I ordered the 5 piece chicken tenders with the medium spice level, and they were cooked perfectly. The medium heat was just right. It added plenty of flavor without overpowering the chicken, so you could still taste the quality of the meat. It was a great balance. I also ordered the 3 piece tender meal with no spice for my child. Unfortunately, she said it was too spicy for her to eat, so I would recommend they pay closer attention to orders requesting no spice. The signature Chuck's sauce that came with the meal tasted like a combination of barbecue sauce and honey mustard. It was actually pretty good and surprised me. I was a little disappointed that they don't offer regular honey mustard or barbecue sauce as separate dipping sauce options. I also ordered honey as a dipping sauce for both meals, but I only received one small packet of honey for all eight chicken tenders. One packet simply isn't enough for that much chicken. This location is next to Cecil Whittaker's, and both restaurants share the same front counter employee, although each has its own pickup window. There is no indoor seating, so this location is pickup and delivery only. Overall, I really enjoyed the chicken and would definitely order it again. Next time, though, I'll double-check that I receive enough honey and that a "no spice" order truly comes with no spice. read more

Overhyped asf got a soggy bun. For your "bread" they give you a piece of like wonder bread. It feels like it at least. Cheap bread read more

This is some really great chicken!! Usually I get the chicken sandwich or the chicken tenders but I think from now on, I'm going to get the wings! The batter is nice and the mild is just enough for me! Just a little bit of spice. Big pieces of chicken and I'm forever thankful. There's no inside for customers. You either come up to the window and order, call in, or order online. Then there's a separate window to pick up. The person at the window was very nice! Cannot wait to come back and take it up a notch. read more

This has become my go to spot for fried chicken. The portions are a good size and I especially appreciate that the chicken is always cooked well; meaning done. And of course the taste is what keeps me coming back! What stands out about this place is that you can choose your level of heat for the chicken from 0 to 5. With 5 being the hottest and labeled as try at your own risk. Typically I keep it mild at a level 1, and that's just about enough! The sides are pretty good and you can tell that they've been seasoned which is nice for a change. Even with delivery the food always arrives hot. Bonus! Also I like that the pricing isn't outrageous. If you like eating chicken, this place is worth a visit. read more

I was short on time today, so I grabbed a quick lunch to go from Chuck's Hot Chicken. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich with a 3-star spice level and added some Chuck's sauce. The bun was soft, and the chicken was cooked just right with the perfect amount of heat--I really enjoyed the sandwich. The fries, as you can probably tell from the picture, were less impressive. They leaned more toward mushy than crispy, which took away from the overall experience. While the flavor was fine, I would have preferred a crispier texture, and that definitely influenced my overall impression of the meal. read more

Chuck's Hot Chicken - Hot Chicken with Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Maryland Heights, Missouri

Another great experience at Chuck's. I arrived right after the lunch rush so it was fairly slow. I ordered my usual heat level 3 chicken sandwich with fries but had them top the sandwich with coleslaw. In less than 10 minutes it was ready. Everything was spot on. The spice level was perfect, the breading was crispy, the chicken was hot and moist, the coleslaw added even more texture and a tangy contrast, and the fries had a perfect crisp. Staff was fantastic, friendly and efficient. It wasn't too hot so I ate at one of the tables in the middle of the parking lot. It was a great quick meal, and I'll forever more have them top my sandwich with coleslaw. read more

Chicken strips with level 2 sauce was just right for me. Fries were hot and crispy. Service was fast and friendly.

I've been coming to Chuck's Hot Chicken since they opened and, in general, they've put out good chicken - there is a big "but", though. One in every three or four visits involves tough tenders that are almost inedible. My wife and daughter don't seem to notice, but I sure do, which is part of the reason why we still get food from this place. The flavors are good and the spice ramps up significantly with each number. Service is pretty basic, only involving speaking to a person in a hole in the wall. I've never had a problem service-wise. Odds are in your favor that the chicken will be good and we've never gotten ill, but the toughness of the chicken from time to time makes me not want to eat here. read more

Grabbing a quick meal after a long day at an anime shop haha. I remembered Chuck's Hot Chicken from some time ago so I ordered online to go. I was right up the street so I got my food in a quick amount of time. They're just as good as the last time I had them. The fries were fresh and crispy. And the sandwich was good. The pickles were crunchy and the ranch I had on the side was a nice compliment. The meal didn't leave the parking lot, so I will always have good food with Chuck's. read more

BURNT OVERPRICED CHICKEN! I just spent $50+ on some chicken and sides for the family and mine was chewy and burnt! The family said theirs' was okay. This is only my 2nd time having Chuck's, but I don't think I'll be going back. Plus, I don't understand the business-model of "do it all yourself" carryout-only, overpriced food... If I want to overpay, I want to dine in and at least have a chance to eat hot, fresh food. On a side note, the online orders automatically fill in a tip when you start to check out (10%) Be sure to check before you submit your order. read more

Chucks is another one of those copycat hot chicken places that tries to do it like other places. It's got most of the usual things that other places have. A plus about that is I love the concept. That type of food is very good. I got the chicken and waffles with a level 3 heat. The waffle was very good and sweet. The chicken was nice and hot too. Did take a while to come out though read more

Chuck's Hot Chicken - Level #2 Nashville Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Maryland Heights, Missouri

I've been hearing about this spot for awhile now, and I love me some hot chicken. I've been to various spots in Nashville, so I knew what I was in for. For my first time there, I ordered the hot chicken sandwich, a side of fries, and the Chuck's Sauce. - Hot chicken sandwich - I ordered the level 3. They have 6 levels, at level 4 they have to warn you. The level 3 was probably as much as I could handle. The sandwich came with some thick crunchy pickles, which always pairs well with chicken. The chicken patty was fried to perfection, thick and juicy. - Fries - Pretty good. I'd honestly probably try another side next time. - Chuck's Sauce - Every chicken place seems to have a sauce very similar to this. It reminded me of Cane sauce. - Garlic cheese curds - Someone we went with ordered this. I had one, and it was incredibly good. I'd definitely get it again next time. Some tips: - This is probably more of a grab and go spot. There is no indoor seating, and outdoor seating is pretty limited. We sat at one of the two tables out in the parking lot, and thankfully the weather was nice enough to be in the sun. - Parking lot is spacious, so you won't have any issues finding a spot to park. - There didn't seem to be a menu posted anywhere I could see, so there is a QR code posted in the front area that you can pull up a menu. Definitely scratched my hot chicken cravings. I'll be back! Sticking to the level 3 though :) read more

I have had amazing hot chicken in Nashville, the birthplace of hot chicken, so any hot chicken I try is compared to that gold standard. I was really excited about this location opening up given it is closer to me than the other locations and I hadn't tried it before. We ordered ahead of time and it was ready for pickup when we arrived. I got the classic Nashville hot chicken sandwich at heat level 3. Overall, I would give the sandwich a 3.5 out of 5. I really enjoyed the heat that came with level 3 and the chicken itself was juicy and moist. But the batter the chicken was breaded with was absolutely dripping with oil and I could really taste it so I thought that took away from the sandwich. I actually thought the fries were some of the best fries I've ever had; I really enjoyed the texture of them. I'll definitely come back but hoping for a less oily sandwich next time! read more

I'm not much for heat, so I ordered a Level 1 Chicken sandwich with Fries and who can resist Cheese Curds, so I didn't. The cheese curds are addictive! There's a buttery garlic flavor to them that makes you keep reaching for another. Served with Ranch, the ranch helps to reduce the richness of the cheese. Fyi.. they have great Ranch! Not too much mayonnaise in the mix. The sandwich was hot and fresh, great crispness along with the fact it was juicy and seasoned well. I will say, that maybe I can go for Level 2 next time because Level 1 was really light on the heat, almost not there. I overheard some folks talking about Level 6 and I definitely won't try that. LoL! Reason for the 4, the fries. They are just OK. They get cold a bit quick and aren't very memorable. This is a pick up and go type of place, but there are a few tables out front to eat at if you like. Give them a try! read more

I don't recommend this place. It was not clear on how to order. Apparently you are supposed to stand outside at one of the drive thru windows that no one was servicing. I opened the front door to ask where to order. The white lady working there yell at me to get out of the store. I asked, "I want to order but never been here, I'm just wondering what to do. Her response was "get out of my store and read the sign" She could've taken the time to come closer to me, greet me like a person, instead of yelling at me. Rudest experience I've had. I called to complain and their number is disconnected. I'll take my money elsewhere read more

So you place your order and pick up at a lil window, cashier was nice offered suggestions and what not. Took like 10 minutes to get my food so not bad at all. Went with their level 3 chicken sandwich , comes with a couple pickles with cheese. Overall the sandwich was decent, reminded me of a better spicy Chick-fil-A sandwich. Soft bun, couldn't really taste the cheese, chicken was cooked well. The chicken was crispy, not juicy but definitely not dry wasn't as spicy or hot as i thought it would be and the fries were fries lol Decent chicken sandwich nothing to crazy, I'll be back for a higher spice level. read more

Man. I've been looking for GOOD chicken for a long time. You have your usual suspects with the chain restaurants. We know where you have to go for flavor but it gets boring after a while. Then you have a couple mom n pop joints that will do in a pinch. But you don't crave it. This place? They do chicken right all the way down to the container choice that prevents sogginess. Beware! They aren't playing with that spice level AT ALL. If you are used to spice then you should be comfortable at the medium. It has flavor, has some spice and it is still comfortable to eat. If you want to go in a level, be prepared. It's harder to enjoy. But if you're really into spicy food give it a try. I wouldn't dare try their top 2 spice levels, it seems insane. I grew up in a Korean household so spicy food is normal for me. And I still get medium out of sheer comfort. The chicken pieces are a good size. Those tenders are insane in size. They are crispy and fried perfect. The boxes are cardboard and have holes so don't worry it will not get soggy. Those fries are excellent! Keep it up. read more

After a few more visits, it's time for an update. I'm impressed with how they've streamlined since their original opening. The online order process has been updated with customization of items ordered and you can now swap sauces. They also added a phone number to their Yelp site ( I didn't use it but I was glad to see it added for questions). The times I've ordered since my original review the timing has been on point as well! Today my text said my order would be ready at 11:25. I pulled up at 11:23 and it was at the window when I went to collect it. The chicken is still the tastiest you will find! If you love that Hot Nashville kick - definately order from Chuck's Hot Chicken! read more

Well done Chuck. Wow what a great new Nashville chicken place on Dorsett. Ordered their chicken sandwich, tenders, fries, and breaded corn. Was about 20 mins from where we live so by the time we got home fries weren't that crispy but all was solved by throwing everything in the air fryer for about 4 mins Chicken was delicious. Crispy. Flavorful. Thick and juicy. You can tell they use high quality fresh thick chicken breasts. Was a very light but crispy breading. We ordered the medium heat and it wasn't very spicy. Definitely a new awesome place we'll be going if we're ever craving a nice chicken sandwich. Man if they added fried chicken / wings to their menu with that breading, I'll be here everyday. read more

Ordered on app, while in parking lot. And ate them in the parking lot. This location doubles at Cecil Whittaker's Pizza and chucks hot chicken , to go only. When I got my 2 chicken sandwiches, the chicken was cold. Cheese was hard and not melted., and tiniest amount of coleslaw. I do food food reviews when it's extra good or extra terrible. And this was just awful. Definitely not cooked to order. I paid 31.96 for two sandwiches + tip Save your money from this location read more

Delicious and cost friendly This place rocks. They have some great levels of hot flavor and deserts to boot read more

Love this place. Always outstanding, crispy chicken and spicy level just how you desire.

We received a flyer at my place of business and it looked interesting. So I stopped in today for a late lunch. I read some reviews before to get an idea about the heat index. I love spice but decided not to push it, so I ordered a number 2 spice level sandwich, with coleslaw and cheese curds it all comes with various choices of side sauces. The chicken was very good the spice wasn't very hot at all next time I'll get a 4 level, and I didn't like that the cheese on the sandwich wasn't melted at all, however the pickles were yummy! But putting the coleslaw on the top brought the sandwich up to a whole new level! Yummieness !!!!! And those cheese nuggets they are garlicky and melt in your mouth! Quite possibly the best I've ever had! read more

Chuck's Hot Chicken - Chicken sandwich level 3 with fries and blue cheese. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Maryland Heights, Missouri

Not a restaurant, just a take-out window and a pick-up window in an old Cecil Whitakkers' space in a small strip mall. Two metal tables on a grass strip in the parking lot are the only seating - no shade; not useful on a hot day like today. Memphis-style hot chicken is the attraction here. Sandwich has a nice, lightly breaded chicken bread on a large brioche bun, served at your choice of six heat levels, with pickles, cheese, and a sauce on the side. I had a "2" level - marginal heat, but tasty. Pickles were great; I opted out on the cheese. Sides are the usual suspects, fries or slaw, etc. I had very good seasoned fries. Bottled drinks available. They were not busy, but it still took 15 minutes to make my order. That seems just right, and I'd rather wait for freshly-cooked chicken than get a quickly reheated meal elsewhere. But the lesson is: CALL AHEAD! Then your order will be ready!! Wish they had a dining room but the food was good, so I'll be back to do pickup when I'm in the area!! read more

SMALL average chicken wings and RUDE customer service. The first time I went they messed up my order but corrected it. The man who helped was nice however the young white woman who brought out the food made a rude comment about how I could be stealing (which was absolutely a microagression) as she gave me the food. Tried again today and my wings were so small advised how small they were and was told to talk to the fry cook. The woman was rude and said the wings aren't small they are medium. I'm sorry you feel that way. Very rude and awful customer service at least the first time they fixed my order when they gave the incorrect item. Won't be coming back. And will post this review across all my social media. If you do decide to order here hopefully you get a friendly and helpful employee that makes your order with integrity. But check your order and anticipate small wings and mediocre food. The fries are okay. Just okay. My husband said their pickles taste like they brined for 1 day. The cheese curds are also JUST okay. Corn fritters are too sweet. All around just very average at best food with extremely rude customer service and inconsistent (or consistently terrible)! Buyer beware- you've been warned. Definitely not worth the price or the hassle. read more

EIGHT little polio looking wings for almost $22!!! Over $2.50 per wing...Robbery. (I wasn't paying attention, just ordered and paid with my card, didn't realize the receipt until I got home). Not even fries with it (or the pickle they mention on the menu). I was very disappointed, and still very hungry, after eating these four small wings with barely any meat on the bones. And come on now, it's not lobster or red snapper, put a durn price on the menu, talking about "market price" for chicken wings...meaning you can change the price all willy nilly and gouge customers whenever you feel like it. (and no, they weren't that good...the 12 wing meal with 3 family sides and biscuits at Lee's for $25 is much much better, economically and in taste). The flavor of the little tiny wings was okay, but no where near worth the price. They didn't have the cheesecake dessert or salted rice krispy that's on the menu, so although I was looking forward to getting them, I can't comment on them. read more

Located in a shopping plaza, attached to a Cecil Whittaker's, this unassuming chicken place packs a punch. A variety of chicken, from tenders, to bone-in, to Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwiches, if you're looking for tasty, semi-affordable chicken without the frills, this is the place. You can chose your level of spiciness (I love spicy, but 2 is about all I can handle!), as well as choose sides to add on (they are not included). The corn fritters were a delightful surprise. Of all things, I love their pickles. There are a few tables outside if you want to sit on the parking lot. A great take-out place with friendly staff and amazing chicken. There is also a Pilipino bakery next store where you can pick up dessert. read more
