Stopped at Golen Chick on Turner Warnell yesterday. I took a little longer to order and was greeted with an unpleasant attitude. Ordered and pulled forward only to get more attitude. No smile, thank you and she did not want to give senior discount. I have shopped at this location since it opened and have never been treated so badly. No sure I really want to go back. read more

I'm always a fan of this place and glad its super close to where I live. The tenders are always my go to as well as the yeast rolls which are amazingly delicious! You can never just eat one and they both compliment each other. The service is always great and never had any issues with my orders. Will keep coming back to this place! read more

The only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars instead of one is because the service was good. Very polite and happy to serve me! But, the food was terrible. I couldn't get past the first bite of the chicken. I knew it would be bad when I smelled the food in the drive-thru. I'll never be going back cause it's absolutely not worth it. Luckily my coworker took the rest of the food. I'll continue to go to the Canes down the street, way better chicken there! read more

We went to this golden chick at 1 pm on Tuesday Feb. 28th. They were crazy busy but we got our food promptly and the lady working the drive through was so so sweet and efficient. She was fantastic and make sure our food came out quickly. She actually ran our food out to the car because we had to pull up. I can't believe she's working the drive through as well as delivering food! She was amazing! Definitely made the whole experience worth it. read more

Hot, fresh, and delicious everything, every time. The is one of the rare places that actually serves everything hot. Their consistency is excellent. I have been here many times, because at any time you can count on a hot meal, even at non peak hours. So many other places will serve things Luke warm, on occasion. That does not happen here. And the chicken fingers and gravy are really good. read more

You'd legit be better off starting a farm, raising chicken to butcher, cook, and serve in the time it'll take you to receive your order from here. They're beyond slow and by their attitudes you'd think the customers forced them to work here. Shut this location down or fire everybody from the top down. read more

One of my favorite chicken places love the rolls and fries. They have good baked chicken if you do not want fried. read more

Golden Chick - Fast Food Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Sometimes we don't have time to go to a sit down restaurant and take 2 hours getting food. This place is great for a quick bite or you can take your time eating. They have the food out fast and always deliver a good product. You don't see many around this area but I have been coming here for years now. Small place, small parking lot but the food has a lot of flavor. They keep the restaurant clean, even after all the high school students have passed by here on their lunch hour. Sweet tea is always on point and their rolls are to die for. Not many places have this weird but cool idea of making a buffalo chicken sandwich with 2 rolls smushed together, chicken strips and a piece of cheese- omg!!! Too good to pass on it specially if you like spicy stuff. They also have one without the buffalo sauce. That sandwich is one of the main reasons I come here. Their customer service is always good, well maybe 1 out of the 300 times I been here was lacking but over all, super good customer service. They have a cup you can pay for one time and you get free refills for the whole year. They also have a b-day program which allows you to get up to $7.50 to spend how ever you want to. Next time you are around the area stop by and get you a meal or maybe just a sweet tea and some rolls for the road. read more

Golden Chick - White meat chicken, Mac and cheese and extra rolls - Fast Food Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Outstanding location! The older lady that works here (I'm assuming she's the manager) was absolutely wonderful! Made my whole experience fantastic. She took my order and explained everything to me, took her time and was patient with my large family order. Then when she handed me my food, was nice enough to detail exactly what was in the bag! So nice and friendly. Food here is the best. Soft tender strips, absolutely delicious rolls, and the best fried okra there is! read more

10 minutes waiting in the parking lot for 3 tenders & fries? I can't say I'm impressed. Generally speaking, the food is good, but that's ridiculous. read more

Manager on duty was amazing! Items were left off our Uber order, so I went to the store to retrieve my food. He was so understanding and I left with my food I was missing and then some for my troubles! We will be back! read more

The food is good. They always forget something though. Sauce, gravy, and just recently they forgot my side of fries. Other than that, it's fine. read more

*UNPROFESSIONAL MANAGER *UNTRAINED EMPLOYEES *NO CURBSIDE PICKUP AT ALL *INACCURACY OF ORDER *UNEXPECTED SCARY SITUATION I placed a CURBSIDE order online 8/21. There was NO curbside pickup when I got there. It was over a 20+ min wait. I ended up going inside to retrieve my order. I got home. AND 4 items were missing. Another trip back to GC to retrieve my items that I paid for. When I arrive, there is already a customer arguing with the employees and manager over the same issue as mine. When I tell the manager my same issue. It looks as if she is helping me. But, she tells me she is going to go look at the cameras bc that's a lot of items missing from my order. I wait another 20+ mins till she comes back out. The manager comes in and out and eventually asks me... numerous times to go with her to the back of the store to look at the footage. Bc it shows everything was bagged up correctly. I called bs on that. I'm not a confrontational person. Not once did I get hostile with this store or entertain the manager and employees of this BOGUS situation. The mood was already hostile before I arrived. She tried at one point to not give me my items. Which was handed to me in the end. This was the most UNNECESSARY DIFFICULT HOSTILE SKETCHY food order I have ever made! I will NOT be ordering from this place ever again! This manager needs help or additional training in order to DO BETTER. Her employees are wild, unprofessional, UNTRAINED and disrespectful to all the customers I saw them come in contact with . Something is very wrong if the drive thru, walk-ins, and online customers are ALL having the same exact issue with this specific store! DO BETTER! SOME ADVICE, don't ask a customer to go to the back of the store with you. No outside employee should ever be in the back of the business if they aren't an employee. It could very well be an awkward or dangerous situation to be putting yourself in and for the customer. read more

I wanna start this off by saying I've given this golden chick 4 different times to show me a decent customer experience and each time it has been worst then the previous time. Today there was only 2 cars in front of me so I didn't think it would be long of a wait, once we got to the speaker I was met with a passive aggressive lady letting me know she was very backed up on orders and it would take a while for her to be able to take mine I said it was no problem and that we would wait so me and my friend started being on our phones waiting and talking after 2 minutes the same lady came back on the speaker and started yelling at us saying she had already told us it would be a while this made me feel uncomfortable because while I understand they might be backed up it seems like she was taking her frustration out on us. After I told her we weren't talking to her and got ignored she finally took our order she was able to put my order down on paper perfectly but once I got home I realized my whole order was wrong I tried calling the place the first time someone picked up and slammed the phone back down it took about 3 times for someone to pick up the phone the lady on the phone was just as rude as the other lady she wasn't being clear on the information she was asking me and seemed annoyed that I didn't understand how her system works I simply just wanted a refund since we didn't get anything we paid for and I was denied the refund and told to just bring the food back. Which ti me it's beyond ridiculous that I have ti make the effort that these people do their job correctly and they're even rude while doing their job horribly read more

See all

This is for the S Cooper, Arlington restaurant. We have not been to this location in a while. It had been our favorite stop after church. We were so pleased to find that excellent customer service continues to go along with the great food. Donstasia took her time and was patient in getting our order correctly. The manager Jakeitha Ephraim was busy doing a little bit of everything but took the time to acknowledge us. She remembered our family. She's doing a great job with training. They were all so friendly and provided excellent customer service. We observe them in the treatment of other customers and it was consistent. And yes the food was delicious, hot fresh and as ordered. This is STILL the best Golden Chick in DFW! read more

I ordered food at the drive-thru today. When I was asked what drink I would like, I forgot they don't have Coke, and ordered Coke. The girl on the speaker laughed at me and sarcastically said, "We don't have Coke." I apologized and asked for Pepsi. I went on to order my next item. She interrupted and said, "I said we don't have Coke and you didn't answer me." I politely told her that I had ordered Pepsi after she told me that. I drove up to the window and she was still laughing at me and did not even greet me. I had to ask what my total was. I gave her my money and she did not respond. I asked for ketchup and honey and she handed me a handful instead of putting the in the bag when the food was ready. That's fine, but she still did not speak. She opened the window, handed me my food and slammed the window, still smirking and not speaking. I sat there and had her open the window to ask if I had all my food. She said, "Yes", so I said, "You are welcome." I called when I got home to ask for the manager and was hung up on. I got no receipt and no name but the girl working at the window was very young and pregnant. I will not go back to this location. I only gave one star because I had to. read more

Terrible service & poor food. Was told spicy chick sandwich was 10 min wait but reg chicken sandwich was available now. Said OK to reg chicken sandwich. Brought out chicken tenders on a stale bun & a pack of honey mustard. Worst experience & sandwich ever. read more

This place used to be so very good. Best tenders in town. The franchise owner retired and it has been horrible ever since. I go every Sunday at 10:30 to get chicken for my elderly parents, and half the time they are not even open. Several times a young guy has come out and rudely told me they won't open until noon. Very sad because the food is much better than Chicken Express, but I will go there from now on because they always open on time and very friendly. Wish this place would go back to how it used to be. read more

Just moved here from Oklahoma and OMG I can't get enough of this place! Food is always amazing and cooked fresh. Also the drive thru customer service is very friendly with amazing work ethics! XOXOXO! read more

We were treated by the sweetest woman through the drive thru who asked if I needed help with the menu. I told her how many were eating and she suggested the perfect meal for us! When we got to the window, I was confused with how low the bill was. She winked at me & said the meal package she suggested wasn't on the menu and to ask for it next time. The food was delicious. Overall such a pleasant experience! read more

I don't like how they always fill up the drink with just ice. I hate how they always rush you when your ordering "that's it" like I'm done ordering, the employees be rude as fuck. read more

Hands down a 5 star place (and I've been pretty stingy with my 5 stars lol). I come here quite often and have never been disappointed. The chicken tenders are TO. DIE. FOR. The outside is crispy and the inside is always moist. I always get mine spicy but you can also get the spices on the side (or buy the little container for your work desk like I did too!) It comes with white gravy for dipping but I always get honey mustard instead. Their wicked wings are really good too (again, crispy on the outside, moist on the inside) but the only bad thing is that they cook to order so it could take about 10 minutes for it (that could also be a good thing.. it's fresh). Food is served with a yeast roll (everyone I know loves it) and I usually get fries or corn nuggets on the side (I'm not particularly a fan of their mashed potatoes). I've never had the actual fried chicken or fried fish that they also serve because the tenders are enough for me, no need to try anything else! Service is good, everyone's generally pretty nice and I think you get some sort of discount (5%?) if you show your UTA student ID. read more

The location was busy due to the high school students coming in for lunch, but the food was fresh and the wait time was minimal. I ordered the two piece fried meal and it was good, not great. Although the chicken was hot and the sides were good, the chicken tasted kinda bland to me, it could have used some seasons on it. I would eat there again though. read more

I love golden chick but today was not the day. I am on my lunch break and drive 15 minutes to this golden chick and order what I want, drive up to the window, and pay. Once I paid, I was told what I wanted was not available. When I asked for the refund this big hefty asshole of a worker rolled her eyes at me and closed the window abruptly. I was so amazed that she would be upset because of her mistake. But then the manager came and gave me a refund and a free drink. Workers need to be trained better. read more

This is a must-visit place if you've ever been a UTA student. (Which was many years ago for me) But nonetheless, the thought of this place still makes me drool like a fat boy over cake and brings back very fond college memories. I remember always coming here with my friends for a quick lunch between gaps in our schedule and having a great time with great (although quick) conversation. Everyone is nice and you'll see a variety of different people, including other businessmen, young high school kids walking over from Arlington High, and fellow UTA college students. The place is very simple and pretty small, just like any normal fast food joint, with a crane machine that was really fun to be play, and my friends would always give the prizes to the little kids that would look on with jealousy when we finally got one of the little chicken plushies. I've taste the fried chicken here and it's kind of greasy but what I love about this place is the chicken fingers with the spicy powder on top. The most tender and juicy chicken fingers I've ever tasted! Definitely try this place if you're in the neighborhood, heck, make a trip down here even if you're not, it's worth it! The one down side and the ONLY reason why I give this a 4-star resting is because parking is sooo limited! I come here for lunch so it's usually packed and a lot of times I would have to nowhere to park! read more

This place still sucks. Employees are rude and spit in your food since they hate their job so much

I've been here a good amount of times, and I'll admit that it's pretty good. But compared to other chicken joints in the area, Golden Chick has really small tenders. This is okay for me, because I think the chicken here has more flavor and seasoning compared to Chicken Express. There's a fairly wide selection of sides here: corn nuggets, mac and cheese, fried okra, dirty rice, mashed potatoes, and fries. But I think my favorite side would be the fried okra. I usually get the #1 combo with the tenders, drink and side; it's enough to fill me up until my next main course. I've brought my boyfriend here a few times, and he likes the mac and cheese here. Whatever you choose on the menu, I'm sure it will satisfy your taste buds. For the customer service here, the employees are always nice. I've never had a bad experience when ordering or going through the drive-thru. There's an African American woman who works here (she might be the manager), but she always wears a purple lipstick and is extremely friendly and funny when taking your order. Also, if you order inside, I highly encourage you to fill out a short form on the counter and slip it in the box. Every year, Golden Chick will send you a postcard in the mail that gives you a free meal during your birthday month. I think that postcard encourages me to come here at least twice a year (once for my birthday and once for my boyfriend's). I've been getting those postcards for so many years, so I think it's a great idea to sign up. read more

Their fried chicken is quite delicious, actually. It's like a slightly greasier, saltier version of Chicken Express if you've had that. Their fries have a light coating of batter on it, so its nice and crispy. The yeast roll is also a major draw for me. It's hot and billowing on the outside yet scrumptiously chewy when you bite into it. Its almost like biting into a bread based cotton candy. I must say this is one of the few chicken joint I've been to that's consistently served their product hot and fresh. Major points there. The other things I've tried were their cheese sticks and their jalapeno poppers (both come with a generous side of ranch). You get four cheese sticks for around three dollars and they're good considering its a fast food place. These sticks have a solid bite but manage to remain satisfyingly gooey. The poppers are not really poppers but more like jalapeno fritters consisting of diced jalapenos, mixed with cheese, breading and then deep fried. I'm not very fond of them. Regardless, if you're looking to try a new place for fried chicken in Arlington, I highly recommend Golden Chick. read more

The young lady had such an attitude and was in such a rush that she messed up our order. I advise Golden Chick to put her on bathroom duty, so she doesn't have to work face to face with customers. We repeated our order multiple times. read more

horrible experience. they messed up my food, and did not have a lid for the gravy so it spilled everywhere on the chicken, causing the box to be wet, then mixed it with gravy soaked tissues. This happened on the 19th of september at around 7pm, so whoever worked there can go to hell and stay there :) read more

The food here is normally very good. I regularly have come here for a bit over a year. Today, I asked for honey mustard, which they gave, but for some reason withheld gravy. When I called to ask why that'd be the case I was told that you can get both, but you have to ask for it. While that is fine, I don't appreciate the tone given nor her implication that it's obvious and I was dumb for not knowing that. Chicken express is right up the road; while they don't have honey mustard, they do have awesome customer service. read more

New items! Spicy Chicken Tenders! They are great with a little sizzle! Perfect companion for a gallon of 1/2 sweet and 1/2 unsweet tea! Dang this stuff is contagious! read more

Worst customer service ever!!!! The employee named Day has the worst attitude in the world. I can easily tell that she hates her job and wants to ruin everyone's experience. She is Awful!!! I had to stop going just because of her. read more

The food is good, but the customer service sucks!! I will never come back because every single time I go there I am asked to drive around front so they can wait on the next car. First, there is NO PLACE to pull off and wait and second, the last two times the car behind me was still in line when they brought my food out. They never give you forks or napkins even though I ordered mashed potatoes!! Last but not least, I specifically asked for extra tarter sauce for a box of five pieces of fish... forget that!!! They do not care about the customers!!! More training, but not for me because as I said, I won't be back, I can get fish just as good at Lisa's and get treated a whole lot better!!! read more

This location and the "Two Can Dine" special for about $12 has been one of our "go-to" fast food choices for a while. On our last trip there on April 10, we discovered that the owner had sold the store and it had become a company store. The "Two Can Dine" special is no longer available so we ordered a Chicken Tenders dinner and a Catfish dinner to go ... spending almost $18. When we got home, there was no gravy for the chicken, no tartar sauce for the fish (even though we had asked if it was in there and received an affirmative answer), no rolls, no napkins and no utensils. We called the store and the phone rang for almost six minutes before someone answered. My husband spoke to the manager (who refused to give her name) and she said gravy was considered a condiment and they don't give refunds if they forget to put in condiments. We texted the number printed on the receipt inviting comments if you weren't satisfied with your experience but never received a reply. I emailed the corporate office and again, never received a reply. Sadly, Golden Chick apparently couldn't care less if their customers are satisfied with the customer service offered by their employees and don't realize that loyal customers are hard to come by. I suppose we will find another Chicken Chain to add to our list of favorites ... it shouldn't be too hard as there seems to be one on every corner. Goodbye, Golden Chick!! read more

4 stars cuz it's fastfood. But the staff here is super friendly, especially the boss lady at the register. My go to is the 3 piece meal with a roll and mash potatoes. I always ask for spice. This location is now a headache to get to from the northbound lane. Arlington had added huge concrete medians along cooper. Hands down better tenders than the guy new guys up the road. Don't forget to ask about UTA discounting. read more

First of all, this is my favorite chicken place. Tonight was the worst visit I have ever had. First, the employee wasn't incorrect uniform. The lady up front had on Nike sandals, and then you had one with a headrag on her head. I took a picture to send to someone to show them that I was really there. So manager thought I was taking her picture so she had the nerve to come to ask me instead of giving my order. read more

So much more flavor than that other chicken place! They are sooo friendly and always remember us when we come in, and they have super yummy roles! read more

Golden Chick - 2 can dine, 10.99 Mmmmm, yummy nom noms - Fast Food Near Me - Arlington, Texas

1st and last visit. My family and I stopped for lunch. Ordered the family sampler. Macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, gravy, fried chicken, grilled chicken and strips. BAD all the way around. The chicken was greasy, seemed under cooked and tasteless. The Mac had a very odd taste, metallic like and over cooked, really gross. The mashed potatoes very processed tasting. We all ate very little of it and regretted doing it. Literally felt nauseous afterwards. Money in the trash. Do not recommend. read more

If you're in a hurry or just don't want to cook, great fried chicken and catfish. One issue I have is several times my "to go" orders have come up short of items, maybe they were too busy to notice. read more
