We ordered a large amount of food Togo and was quoted 20 to 30 minutes for pick up, but was actually an hour wait. Some Chicken pieces was heavy on the salt, but overall it was seasoned well enough that I didnt need to add much hot sauce to it. My group of 5 people all rate it 5/5. The collard greens, mac and cheese, yams, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, biscuit, together with the chicken, was perfect. I highly recommend those items all on one plate! read more

I have visited Corey's before and only purchased fried chicken and gizzard. This time we decided to dine in since they had moved to a larger location. We were seated within 5 minutes after the table was cleaned off. We decided to get catfish with collards and mashed potatoes with gravy, and fried pork chop with Mac and cheese and potatoe salad. While waiting for our entrees, we received a biscuit with butter and strawberry jam on a small plate. It took about 20 minutes for our food to come out. We did get plastic cups to self serve our drinks. The catfish had a pretty brown coating but could use more seasoning. The collards tasted like it came out of the can of Glory greens. The mashed potatoes need salt and pepper and butter. The fried pork chops needed salt as well. The Mac and cheese looked like Velveeta and the potatoes in the potatoe salad was firm but had a decent taste. There wasn't a designated server for any of the tables. There were at least six other tables with two or more people at each table. It seems to be a little disorganized with serving people. We had to ask for a to go box to a woman who was walking around with her hands in her pocket. We just assumed she worked there as well. There was a jazz band scheduled to perform in the other area of the building at 6pm tonight. I'll stick to my chicken gizzards and fried chicken if I return again. The prices are reasonable for a soul food restaurant. The sweet tea and kool-aid was good as well. Everyone was nice and pleasant upon entering the restaurant. read more

Welcoming staff make you feel at home. There are huge jugs of water, koolaid and sweet tea that you help yourself to. Fried chicken and fish dominate the menu. I ordered the dark meat chicken with collards and Mac and cheese as my two sides. They started us with a biscuit which was just ok but no dish to put it on. Chicken was served right out of the fryer and was not at all greasy. Sides were flavorful. Many desserts available in to go containers. Very casual place with a good vibe. read more

First of all, when entering we were greeted warmly with gratitude. I had the fried whiting with baked beans and collard greens. $17.58 There were 2 large pieces of golden brown fish that were crunchy on the outside and meaty inside. The fish was also lightly breaded and seasoned. Just delicious, now the baked beans were cookout ready; sweet and savory. Now the collards are not seasoned the traditional southern soulful way, but satisfying. To drink I a surprising satisfying childhood flashback, Red Kool Aid. Sweetened perfectly. Last but not least, the "rice pudding". OMG !! Somebody's grandma had to make it. The rice pudding was sweet, but not sugary just had that old fashioned southern taste. read more

My mom had heard about this place and couldn't find it when looking for it. Luckily, on our way back to Richmond, we were able to locate it. Tucked into the corner of a hotel, This staff was incredibly friendly and hospitable. The space itself gives the church multipurpose room on Sunday evening, no frills, communal drink station in the side room. We ordered some of the most common dishes, fried chicken, candied yams, mac and cheese with collard greens. There are no more biscuits, there are pillowy yeast rolls instead. Evening was delicious, except the macaroni and cheese.... it was odd, like it was a mix of box and homemade, leaning closer to the former. On the way out, we were mesmerized by the lemon creme cake. Omg, it was so good, I wish I could've taken a slice back to NYC. I know my mom will take my dad here soon. read more

My family and I were visiting from NC and decided to get this place a try. The food was delicious. Perfectly seasoned! Especially the string beans with smoke turkey. Don't be in a hurry when you come. The owner was the cashier and waiter, but it was worth the wait. You get a lot of food for your money. Will definitely eat there again. read more

The customer service was nice but the food fell short in seasoning, flavors you expect from a southern restaurant. Honestly it tasted raw. I paid about $60 with a tip. I did not eat the food after 1 bite. The mash potatoes seemed as if they gave the bottom of it. They had hard edges in it and the color was darker. The biscuit was not fresh, and they warmed it up in a microwave which takes away from the baked taste. read more

Great service and good and a pleasure to dine there with many friends. I will return soon!

Customer service is top notch and the food was so good!! The area is inviting. Try Mr. Corey's Bloody Mary- delicious

This place is awesome. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was nice also. The food came in a timely fashion and superb

We've ordered take away twice. Great food, delicious chicken, warm and friendly staff.

Corey's Chicken is absolutely everything southern soul food should be. The food is hot, fresh, seasoned like it's from the family cookout, and melts in your mouth. We had the fried chicken and the fried catfish. The chicken was hot, juicy, and seasoned well. The catfish was melt in your mouth flaky and fabulous. Our sides were collards, mashed potatoes and gravy, and mac and cheese. The collards were cooked perfectly, not too limp, and again seasoned perfectly. The mashed potatoes and gravy were super filling, and definitely not from a box. The mac and cheese was buttery cheesy goodness. I can't wait to satisfy my next soul food southern cooking craving with Corey's. The service was very hospitable. You order your food at the counter and it is brought out to you. You might wait a few extra minutes but I guarantee that food will be fresh, hot, juicy, everything your foodie dreams and desires are made of. The restaurant itself is clean, simple, and understated. Go there after church or after a long day of work, no matter who you are, where you're coming from, or where you're going Corey's is a place where you will feel welcome. read more

We were looking for a quick lunch after shopping at the outlets and are so glad we chose Corey's Chicken Shack. Everyone we interacted with were so kind and the food is beyond amazing. It reminded me of the food we had during Sunday family dinners with all the family sitting at the dining room table at home. We had the white chicken platter and the seafood platter - both came with two sides and a really delicious biscuit. We chose the Mac & cheese/potato salad (that tasted exactly like my moms)/collards/green beans. It's connected to a hotel so there's plenty of parking. It's not a fancy place but when the food is that good, you don't have to be fancy! We will def be stopping by every time we are in Williamsburg. read more

The service and the food was excellent multiple dishes to choose from plus delicious desserts pleasant customer service and great hot food.

Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!!! Okay I had to do it! But in all seriousness it really was some juicy crunchy chicken and yummy sides! Here is the breakdown of what we ordered: The 8 piece chicken dinner which comes with two large sides and 4 rolls. Chicken came out piping hot and instead of 4 rolls we got two large biscuits, which were light and fluffy and also straight out of the oven! I'll take biscuits any day over rolls. The man who dropped them off to our table also included butter, jelly and honey. Perfect! The fried chicken was nice and juicy and a good seasoning on the crispy skin. Macaroni & cheese-very yummy and just the right amount of cheese for me. Coleslaw-very good! Potato salad-.good! They only offer lemonade, sweet tea and kool-aid. We had the lemonade and it was delicious. On the sweet side so be prepared. Will be back! read more

In a town where I have been largely underwhelmed by overpriced mediocre/bad food, this place stood out for delicious, very reasonably priced fried chicken. For a family of 4, a full dinner was around $50 with a lot of leftovers. The chicken, corn pudding, and collared greens were all great and served steaming hot and fresh. The chicken was probably one of the best pieces of fried chicken that I've had - very crispy, well seasoned, moist, and not oily (if it has been more spicy, it would have been perfect). The corn pudding was like a sweet bread pudding with corn bits (the taste is reminiscent of Vietnamese corn-based puddings), and the collared greens were phenomenal - tangy, meaty, well-seasoned. We didn't like the mashed potatoes, and the yams were fine, but I prefer mashed yams, I suppose. We ended the meal with a delicious slice of sweet potato pie that was again one of the best I've encountered. Sweet and creamy (maybe with condensed milk). read more

Very friendly staff and great southern/ soul food. Sides were all delicious especially collard greens. The place itself is a bit odd but lots of tables and space. If you eat in, you are served in takeout containers which didn't bother at all. Highly recommended! read more

Came here today for lunch, and it was a wonderful time. It's a nice, small spot for lunch/dinner. Portions are big, and the family meals are more than satisfying. Chickens really good here. Not too salty or greasy. Perfect amount of seasoning and crunch. My parents had the fried liver and gizzards too, and they said they were great. Biscuits are to die for! Big, fluffy and buttery! If you like southern cuisine (and supporting small businesses) you should definitely stop by! read more

The food and service is outstanding! I highly recommend Corey's this for lunch or dinner.

It was not delicious. I look to avoid chains whenever traveling and will go the distance to find independent restaurants . Had high hopes for this one but the food was C level. Ambiance and decor were C+. The service was nothing special, they made me feel like I was bothering them when it was 12:30 and no one else was in the place. read more

Service was good, food was just okay. We got chicken wings, collard greens, rice and gravy and mac and cheese. The chicken was salty and had a weird aftertaste of rosemary or thyme, and the greens had a little too much vinegar but I liked that they used smoked turkey in them instead of pork. The mac and cheese tasted like they use some kind of processed cheese sauce instead of real cheese. The gravy for the rice was runny, slightly thicker than beef broth, but the rice itself wasn't really seasoned well. Their biscuits were good. read more

Good meat/veggies. Hard working staff. Convenient to roadway inn. Able to customize menu for special needs read more

Food was outstanding. Diamond in the rough. A must for lunch dinner Service was equal to the food. We will be back read more

Fantastic. Chicken cooked to order... sides were great. Chicken is incredible. We will be back!

I almost missed out on eating at Corey's Chicken Shack this past weekend because I didn't realize that they've moved to a new and nicer location. As always, the food was absolutely scrumptious! I ordered the fried catfish to eat there and ordered their famous fried chicken to go. Both my fish and chicken were cooked and seasoned to perfection. The biscuit as well was very light, fluffy, and delicious. I promised Corey that I would write a review the moment I returned to North Carolina so his loyal customers will know that he's still in business. Please give this restaurant a try the next time you visit the Williamsburg area. You won't regret it! read more

Good food and good service nice and quiet place good for fried chicken lovers and great sides

We wanted soul food while visiting, so we stopped by here. We ordered the baked chicken meal, which was leftover chicken that you could taste was refrigerated and reheated...and was not edible because the meat was hard. Very disappointing. The mashed potatoes were good. The greens were also decent. The catfish was pretty good, along with the macaroni and cheese, my son would not eat the cabbage because it was very bland, so were the green beans. The smothered pork chop was over cooked... honestly we wanted to love this place, but we were very disappointed. I think that we possibly just came at the wrong time because we waited a while for our food, but our food did not tasted fresh. The potato salad was store bought potato salad. The biscuits were soggy, not sure if they were pre-wrapped in the aluminum foil. We spent over $60 here and we were disappointed. The young guy was very friendly when we arrived to place our order, but the woman at the front not so much. read more

WOW!!! Unassuming little spot attached to a motel, but the food is full of flavor and is perfectly cooked! I ordered the 3 piece fried chicken (dark meat), with mashed potatoes and gravy, and Mac and cheese. They literally cooked the chicken fresh when I ordered it. Everything came out piping hot and needed no additional spices added. The sweet tea was definitely southern sweet, and the service was homey and phenomenal. Can't wait to come back to try the other options!! read more

The family was on the search for good fried chicken in Williamsburg. Read quite a few great reviews on Corey's chicken. Went there for dinner, dining in. Place was empty, and was having some leaky roof issues. Wasn't leaking in the kitchen, so we decided to give it a shot. My daughter ordered the chicken tenders with cole slaw. I had to be difficult and I ordered a thigh and a breast, which seemed to cause some despair with the employee who took our order, seemed to work itself out. I had fries and green beans as my side items. Drinks were limited to sweet tea, lemonade, water and a juice. No fountain drinks available. The sweet tea was our choice and man, was it sweet. Phewee! They Brought out some biscuits and they were nice and warm and fluffy. Overall the chicken was good, unfortunately they overcooked my chicken breast, pretty tough to chew..I was dissappointed with but it tasted good and my sides were good. My daughter loved the chicken tenders and cole slaw. More than likely we might go back for a second try. Service was fantastic! Thank You read more

Everything on the menu is amazing. I had fried chicken, potato salad, cabbage and a biscuit. I had a pork chop sandwich which was on a butter bun. I took the pork chop off the bun and just ate the bun with the chicken. . Drinks are just right!! 10 out of 10. Waiter/host is nice and friendly. Even brought my food to my car while i was waiting. read more

I never expected a little cafe inside a motel to be an excellent source for homestyle Southern cooking, but that's exactly what I found at Corey's Chicken Shack (inside a Rodeway Inn). I was raised in Memphis, Tennessee, on candied yams, collard greens, corn pudding, and fried chicken, and as soon as I took my first bite of Corey's collard greens, I was transported back to my hometown. The portions on my vegetable plate were so generous that I took enough home for another entire meal. The dessert display, alone, would be enough to bring me back-- bread pudding, sweet potato pie, double chocolate cake and more await my next visit. I plan to make that soon. read more

We an to go back again. The food was good, but a little heavy on salt for the crab cakes. The manager/owner was very accommodating and allowed me to change my order when I informed him about the crab cakes. The food on the buffet was good, especially the Mac and Cheese (which tasted better than the entree version I had). I would recommend this establishment. read more
