This was our first time here. What a hidden gem. We've lived here on Johns Island for almost 5 years and kept talking about going there and today we finally did. When we entered and told them that we were new we were offered each of wing to try I ended up getting 12 of them. I also chose to get the JoJo's which I realized were huge wedge potatoes. They were so good. My husband got the spicy wings and egg rolls. We definitely will be back. The gentleman that waited on us was very polite. read more

Dodge's is always great, I have had it outside of Ft. Knox, Charleston and now Panama City. It's never let me down. The chicken tendies never let me down. read more

Great biscuit sandwiches .... Had the fried chicken egg cheese and the sausage egg and cheese biscuits and both were excellent. Service was nice and efficient. Will definitely be craving more. Fancy no but GOOD - convenience store environment. Their wings looked amazing! read more

I've had KFC, I've had Churches Chicken, I've had Lee's Chicken, but until you've had Dodges Chicken , you haven't had fried chicken! I stopped to get gas at Dodge's because they have the lowest gas prices around Charleston. Saw a KFC right beside the gas station. It made me hungry for some fried chicken. Went inside Dodge's to pay for my gas and saw the most amazing thing, giant pieces of golden fried chicken and homemade mashed potatoes and gravy. Bought two chicken breasts and mash potatoes and gravey. This place is strictly take-out food, so there is no place to eat inside. The service was fast and friendly and the price was right. After leaving Dodge's my wife and went to near by Caw Caw Park, found a picnic table, sat down and had an amazing fried chicken dinner. Not only were the chicken breast as big a softball, they were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I know it's a gas station, but I would recommend that you give it a try. No wonder the KFC parking lot was empty! read more

Hidden gem in a gas station, hot, fresh and delicious. Friendly staff, good prices, and wonderfully buttery biscuits!

I'm from a small town in Arkansas and we didn't have nice restaurants there. We had gas stations and that's where we got our " fast food " and fried chicken. I've been away from home for many years now and still crave dodges chicken, crispitos and pizza sticks. The amount of joy I found when I discovered there was a dodges only 30 minutes from me cannot be described with words. I immediately got in the car and headed over. Terri was there and had no idea that I was about to make the strangest request she would have for the day. I bought all of the crispitos. I got pizza sticks and chicken, but literally all of the crispitos. She was so understanding of what I wanted and made it fun as I'm sure it's not often people get so very excited about the food. It tastes just like home. Thank you Terri for going above and beyond. I'll see you when I need a refill. You're an amazing human. read more

Good price. Restroom clean and nice Chicken was fast to get and friendly staff Lots of convenience items The breading on the chicken was way to thick for me and dry from sitting in the window but good flavor read more

This is the treat my husband wanted our first night in our new home in Ravenel. A Red-top neighborhood iconic place to stop, and serves up all manner of fried. We tried the chicken egg roll, spicy wings, and their regular dark meat chicken. I think our favorite was the spicy wing. Good spice without burning your taste buds off. We were surprised that they don't have a spicy chicken option. The fried chicken meat - to - breading ratio was a bit heavy on the breading for our taste when it came to the fried chicken. But, I do recommend this place, if for nothing else their longevity to the area and the people are pretty darn friendly, and proud of their product. read more

Nasty... Chicken was hard crusted setting to warmer too long... too much bread on chicken... have potato wedges as a side and a roll... ask for ketchup and and can you believe they do not have ketchup for the potato wedges. People behind counter treat you like you are bothering them read more

Dodge's Southern Style - Menu - Convenience Stores Near Me - Johns Island, South Carolina

I was on my way back from Charleston, SC to south of Savannah, Ga and thought to myself, hmmm, I will stop at Dodge's and grab some chicken. I had done it a time or two before and unfortunately it keeps getting worse the more times I stop. Unfortunately I was a few miles down the road when I decided to start eating or I would have went back. The chicken is absolutely the driest with thick breading. Worst fried chicken I have ever had...And I mean that...hands down the worst. I should have went next door to KFC. What I had was 8 peices of awful chicken in tons of breaded batter. They forgot my rolls to go with my meal. I tried to call the number on the receipt for nothing, it says the number doesn't exist. The guy behind the counter was just in a hurry to sell me the food and get me out, must have seen my Georgia plates. But this chicken is cheap and fills you up with the covered up floury skin, the chicken underneath was so thin I got 3 bites off one thigh and though, I will try another, the same result. But the chicken at Dodges was plain disgusting, bone dry (rip away some of the overly breaded peanut oil skin) and "meh" taste....the skin that is....the chicken itself was awful. read more

Dodge's is the place to go for fried chicken and Jojo's! (Fried potato wedges) The prices for the food are very reasonable. Of course, this is also a great spot to grab gas and any other convenience items. For a quick (unhealthy meal), Dodge's is the place to go! read more

On several foodie FB pages Dodge's comes in as one of the best fried chicken spots in Charleston. I have heard it from many a friend as well. I have been here forever but never had it so when i was at a friends home in the area I decided to give it a try. We went and ordered. I got a leg thigh, and a breast. I also got 2 jojos shich is their big fried potato wedges and a bun. Chicken was pretty darn good and loved the jojos as well. The chicken was not too salty like I normally find and not too greasy either. The flavor was good as well. I also like the jojojs with a little ketchup and mustard. Is it the best chicken I ever had. Probably not but I think I get the hype. Seems like really good chicken that only occasionally does not hit the spot. We went early luckily which made for no wait but they were ready with plenty of chicken as the customers started to roll in. Great option if going to picnic, boat ride, etc. We will be back! read more

No idea how they only have 3 stars, seriously some of the best fried chicken in Charleston. Plus lots of other fried goodies to choose from. read more

The first, time I, drove up to Dodge Chicken, I said "yea, right". How can an old Gas Station serve anything that might be even close to good chicken. Well, everyone told me that this is the best chicken around. So, I'll try anything once. Believe me when I tell you, it is a must if you love chicken. You must get there when the chicken just comes out, wow, the taste is to die for. I have been there many times, and have taken friends there, who also said 'what', but they too were convinced. This place is always busy. Next door is a KFC...I've never seen them busy. What does that tell you? Frank G read more

I come home from Missouri. I have lived in Charleston for eight years. After eight year of disappointment in home style food in Charleston. I was finally satisfied at Dodges. I don't post bad reviews. There are a LOT of unimpressive restaurants in Charleston. Dodges Chicken is the real deal. read more

Went here before the chicken was great .Today it was greasy fatty and we ate half and threw the rest away.My stomach has been upset all day.We won't go back $10.oo of chicken you can't eat not good. read more

OMG, I am amazed anyone would give this place a 5 stars let alone 2 stars. The chicken is absolutely dry with thick breading. Worst fried chicken I have ever had...And I mean that...hands down the worst. What came to mind with my 8 peices of awful chicken was a mummified chicken in tons of breaded batter. Many people only care about the batter and skin so that must be what happening with those reviews, but what about the dry mummified corpse chicken below? I am ashamed that in the South people gave this a thumbs up. It's the South for crying out loud! But this chicken is cheap and fills you up with the covered up floury skin. A place called Chicken Holiday in NJ is still my favorite but down here (been here for 20 years now) believe it or not Publix has the best friend chicken I have found so far...and I do search. The best wings are Hubee D's. But the chicken at Dodges was plain disgusting, bone dry (rip away some of the overly breaded peanut oil skin) and "meh" taste....the skin that is....the chicken itself was awful. read more

Staff needs some sensitivity training. Today after I bought my food and turned to get a drink, the lady behind the counter comes to me with a "maam". I turn around thinking I left something but she comes to me smiling saying "you here alone?". I say yes stupidly and she says "well someone likes you". I said "ok thank you" as I was tired and thinking she was just trying to spread some cheer. She continues on though. "You don't believe me? he (guy behind the counter) likes you." ugh. "ok" i replied wanting to finish and go. "Ok?" she replies in a shrill voice, upset im taking the bait and making me look at her. "you got a boyfriend" she asks smiling. I am mortified and wanting her to leave me alone because she's getting upset I am not taking the bait. I do a quick glance over and the guy has his arms folded looking at others. Oh yeah, he's burning up for me. "whats wrong why you upset? Im trying to help you! check yourself" she says then. I reply Im not upset im just tired and having a bad day. she wont leave the drink station so I quickly finished and left. what is going on?!?! read more

Worth the 20 minute drive outside of Charleston, SC for some great fried chicken at a great price!!

Say what you well about gas station food, but this place rocks! They serve up some of the best fried chicken around, minus my mother's of course. They have wings, smoked turkey legs, corn dogs and some of the best breakfast biscuits around. Stop there. You will not be disappointed! read more

You wouldn't be able to tell from the outside of this place, but they have some of the best fried chicken that I've had in Charleston! I had a chicken thigh and a drumstick and they were both delicious, with crispy, flavorful skin. The potato wedges that came with the chicken were seasoned well and also nice and crispy. I tried the pizza stick, which was okay, but tasted just like it was something that was frozen and heated up. I also got a turkey leg, which I thought was a unique offering on the menu. It was tasty and reminded me of the ones I get at the fair! Overall, I would definitely go back for the fried chicken. read more

Simply awesome fried food, I basically only get the pizza sticks, corndogs and chicken strips but it is all pretty dang tasty. Just take a gander at the items under the heat lamps and make sure it looks like it came out of the fry oil in the last hour or so.... fountain drink choices go on and on and the gas is cheapest around. read more

I thought I would give Dodge's Chicken another try this evening and it was a mistake. The chicken was obviously cooked hours ahead and sat in their viewing bin under heat lamps. The exterior was hard and difficult to bite. Once penetrated, the thigh had chunks of raw dough under the crust. This was my third and last trip to Dodges. I hate to be critical, but it simply was not edible. read more

Awesome chicken wings. I can't drive past this place without pulling in for their wings! Also, their gas prices are the best!

This is a gas station... However we were delighted to see pressure fryers when we walked in. We ordered the mixed basket and got a sampling of wings, breast, drumsticks, and thighs. They had a special on oven baked macaroni and rolls so we got both. The "oven baked macaroni" was good it was just prepackaged crate and barrel.. but not bad- the rolls were nothing special. The fried chicken crust was amazing, super flavorful and crispy. The meat however was all mostly dried out, but that could have been a fluke. Overall great fried chicken, just make or find your own sides. read more

The are the best in the industry. Wow. Always boomin always nice. Clean rest rooms.
