Only reason I drop this review is due to Dine in experience with Daryl. He keeps it clean and professional. Thank you

This is my open love letter to Golden Chick. Feel free to mock me. I won't be harmed. Oh Golden Chick, how I miss thee. When I discovered you near the Civic Center, I was hungry and tired. I'd had a long day exhibiting my wares at a falsely advertised event. I was beaten up, downtrodden. But you, Golden Chick, were there for me. I ordered a box with spicy golden tenders, a yeast roll and fries. You asked me if I wanted gravy. No thanks, I said. That will be plenty. I waited awhile for my lunch to be freshly prepared, but nothing could have prepared me for the smell that entered my vehicle. I tore into the box. I could tell instantly that this was no Colonel's recipe. I hungrily grabbed a piece of your golden goodness, like a starving wolf. Spicy deliciousness. I'd never tasted chicken like this! The soft yeast roll beckoned to me. One bite and I fell in love. How could it be so sweet? I'd only imagined bread like this existed. And at a fast food joint, no less! The fries were spicy and salty and perfect. This was the beginning of a too-short-lived love affair. I brought DD here the next day. And a friend here the next. We never wanted to leave you. Alas, it was time for me to move back to Phoenix. Please know I think of you fondly. Maybe one day you will remember my adoration and you'll open up here for so many new admirers. A girl can dream, Golden Chick. A girl can dream. read more

I will never eat here or order from here again. The delivery guy was over 30 minutes late from the timeframe I was given and he STOLE $2 as a tip. Let me explain how you steal a tip: Out of the 4 orders we had, only one person had cash. Her order was $9.63. I gave him a $20 and he said he only had $8 on me and when he came in he didn't have a pen. I was to sign all of the receipts from the cards I had and he was to go get me $2 more out of his van. The Security guy at our office had a pen, so it eliminated him having to go for that. I watched him take the receipts and tell me that he would return with the $2. I stood there, like an idiot, and watched him get in the van and drive off without even attempting to return with the money. Oh yeah, and this just happened...less than 30 minutes ago. read more

Okay, my mouth is watering just thinking about Golden Chick. Every Thursday for about 2 years, I ate dinner here. I've curbed my intake since because the wife is a dietitian and I feel guilty dying early and leaving her with a life insurance payout and the chance to re-marry. The Food: The chicken *tenders* are battered and fried chicken strips. They're actually pretty tasty themselves. What makes them better? The Golden Chick gravy, of course. What makes that even better? The Golden Chick spicy spice - Lotta Zing. What would make that even better? Bacon, but alas, they don't offer that. The food here is terrific. Probably not terrific *for* you, but it tastes, oh so good. What do I get? 4 Spicy Tenders with okra and mac and cheese. If you walk in to get your to-go order, you can grab a self serve ice cream cone while you wait and you're not burning gas while doing it. The roll is tasty, particularly with a bunch of butter spread and honey. Again, my mouth is watering. If you have a bunch of hungry friends, look into the family packs. They'll feed a small army. The location: The staff here is on par, maybe even a little better than average. Never had a problem with any of them, except their stupid credit card machine. They have an annoying Golden Chick Egg dispenser that clucks periodically. Be aware that their take out boxes don't have a sealed bottom so crumbs and such will fall out if you're going to eat on the couch, in bed, or over a pressure sensitive bank vault floor. What makes Golden Chick better than a golden goose? The gravy of course. read more

I'm a fan of this place, i've been going here on and off for the past 5 years. If your like me, and .. prefer chicken tenders to fried chicken that has bones in it (basically every other type of fried chicken/ thigh/leg/breast whatever).. then golden chick is a place to check out. They have these lil combo deals with differing amts of tenders, a roll, gravy, and (really subpar crappy, often old fries lol.. in my experiences). I usually throw like a small order of jalapeno poppers ( they do theirs like, lil bits of jalapeno smothered in cheese, in this crispie breaded layer over it.. pretty badass, its shaped like a rectangle too if i remember right) Usually runs me under 10$. LEGENDARY GOLDEN CHICK!!!!!! I SUMMON U to open more stores than Chik-FilA.. read more

Serious love for the Golden Chick Their chicken strips are decent... but what always brings me back? The yeast rolls. The french fries. The gravy. Seriously, for a place called Golden Chick, I could care less about their chicken! (don't get me wrong, it's good... but once I start eating the yeast rolls and fries dipped in gravy, I forget there's even chicken in the box) The biggest disappointment for Golden Chick fans is when a location has BISCUITS instead of the doughy yeasty goodness of ROLLS. This one in Richardson has the delicious yeast rolls. Delicious. Their fries taste almost breaded as opposed to just potatoes fried in oil. Best friend LOVES the spicy stuff on the chicken strips and always gets extra (sometimes used to carry a bottle of the ZING! with her in the car to add to everything). read more

I did a drive thru, so this is my drive thru experience. First off, this location is very tight and small area. I drive a sedan 4 door and my poor tires were hitting some curves and curbs because of it's curvy drive-tight drive thru. I got the #1 which comes choice of spicy or regular, 2 choice of sides, yeast roll and drink. It was pretty quick and efficient. I ate the yeast roll driving back to work, it had a little spice to it because it was sitting on top of the chicken so that added some kick to the roll, I liked that. I came back to the office, the fries were yummy! For a "small" bag, they loaded a lot of fries. They were crispy and good. I had 2 ranch drips which was great, and the chicken tenders where nicely cooked, juicy and big. All in all I'm pleased, the location/area/parking lot can be improved but the food is delicious and well cooked! :) read more

Never have I ever had fried chicken like this. I don't even LIKE fried chicken-- or at least, I didn't think I did after growing up with only Church's and Popeyes and Raising Cane's. Eat your heart out, competitors. Golden Chick is where it's at! I had never been before, so I asked the guy taking my order if the tenders or the fried chicken were more popular, and he immediately said the tenders. I got a junior combo with two tenders, a yeast roll, fries, drink, and gravy. The restaurant is shockingly clean (another advantage over Church's and Popeyes!) and has tons of choices for soda and tea. I got the apple soda and mixed in a small amount of raspberry lemonade... yummers! Ice cream is free with your meal. Service is fast and the employees are super friendly. The roll (which a sign said is "almost world-famous"-- I appreciate the modesty, GC!) was so good that I went back to the register and bought six more... and ended up eating them all within a day. The tenders were really small, but I was actually really full when I was done... so I ate for relatively cheap... score! The spicy chicken was awesome. I was texting my dad, a fried chicken fanatic in Houston, the whole meal telling him how delicious Golden Chick is. I'm already dreaming about going back, but I'm waiting it out as along as possible for my health's sake. TL;DR: Better than any chicken you've ever had, may contain trace amounts of crack (how else can it be this good?!). Get the tenders, and go spicy. read more

The WORST ARROGANT CS EVER for a Grease spoon! A drive dive grease spoon that hangs up on one,wow!! Will so discourage Friends and corporate friends from this place, it's one thing thing tk have bad service, it's worse tk have arrogant jerks who hang up on customers and potential customers and "potential customers" is a pipe dream now...that's too bad because I have always favored local business regardless if it's a chain (generally awful), or locally owned... Will always discourage friends and locals from ordering, specially when customer service hangs up and refuses tk answer after 3 calls...talk about arrogant for a product such as Fried Chicken...I guess it's probably a good thing when it comes to grease!!! read more

This Golden Chick location is consistently the best one I've tried. I've never used the drive-through, and I've only been there at lunchtime, but the chicken is always hot and delicious. The service is fast, and Darrell especially is awesome! read more

Simple chicken joint with friendly staff and good chicken. On Monday nights the 10- and 15pc chicken/rolls deal is HALF PRICE. Believe it. And they have gizzards and livers. Gizzard availability is my litmus test for chicken joints. read more

I've come here several times for lunch during work. Only been inside once when they had the drive thru closed for some type of construction. There's usually a line in the drive thru, but it moves at a good pace. My food is always hot and fresh, and the roll is yummy. I usually don't like the way fountain drinks taste at fast food restaurants, but their Big Red soda is good. It's fast food, it is what it is. I haven't had any problems, so that's great. read more

Do NOT go to this location if you want to get everything you order or you have anywhere to be that day. Slow and horrible at completing orders. Try to call to complain? Nope, they can't answer the phone either. Save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else. read more

This place is hit or miss, sometimes the chicken is really fresh and tastes great and sometimes it's the complete opposite. The staff is usually pretty friendly and the place is always clean. My favorite part of eating here is the rolls, the raspberry lemonade and the complimentary ice cream. read more

There are salad days and there are golden chick days. I had a golden chick day. Driving thru their old drive thru system where you can hardly hear what they are saying. I saw a 6 dollar deal which is 3 chicken tenders one side, drink and a yeast roll. Sounds like a lot of food but it was a snack for me. Literally enhaled everything within 15 minutes! The chicken to the roll, everything was good. I also added jalapeno poppers and they were good too. I consider golden chick to be a must go for chicken tender. They don't coke products just DP... read more

my favorite chicken tenders! I love the zing seasoning and even bought a bottle to take home. Fries are great with zing as well. Staff was friendly at this location, the forest location can be pretty rude. read more

Always fast friendly service! Good comfort food especially the spicy chicken and fried okra. Free ice cream and delicious sweet tea. All I have to say. read more

Absolutely disgusted at what I just ate 10 minutes ago while I waited for this app to download. And the only reason I got it was so I could rate this place. The chicken tenders were so dry that you could've lit a match stick on them. There was no flavor that the only thing I could taste was the zing. I'm being serious. Either the chicken was from last night or something else, but what I ate was disgusting. I should've let the manager know but I didn't want to be the only one to comment on the chicken. Never coming back. I want my $7.50 back. read more

I am a serious lover of fried chicken and Golden Chick is my go-to spot. The caveat with this though is that only this Golden Chick location offers the *best* Golden Chick food in Dallas (in my humble opinion). I discovered it when I was 7 years old after my mom brought home a box of its deliciousness from work and have been eating it ever since. If her boss had never treated them to this place, I probably would not have discovered it until later on in my life so at this time, I thank you, Dr. Chu, for making this happen. Anyway! I always get a #1, SPICY!, with fries and a roll. It comes 4 chicken tenders, a side, a roll/bsicuit, gravy, and a drink. I buy a bottle of their Lotta Zing spice every month because my sister and I eat it on everything, haha. I don't even care if you're silently judging me right now because it's that's goooood. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. In fact, I may have to make a trip to good ole Golden Chick today... So. All in all, I'd definitely recommend! read more

We love golden chick and have them often. The catfish is my favorite. I usually go to a different location closer to work, but we went to this location the other day. The food we ordered was old, and dry. It had obviously been sitting out. We didn't even eat our whole meal. I was under the impression all golden chicks would cook the catfish fresh and made to order. Not at this place, it was terrible and the roasted chicken we ordered was really dry and hard. Everything we ordered here was nothing like our regular location we use. Golden Chick is a great place, but you'll want to avoid this location. read more

I ordered a family pack (16 tenders) and I've been sitting outside waiting for my order for 30 minutes. I know for the fact the food isn't real or fresh enough to need that much time. read more

Golden Chick is one of the better fried chicken chains. But THIS Golden Chick is one of the best! Tasty chicken, whether pieces or strips. Good sides, especially the fried okra. The corn on the cob has always been fresh and not overcooked. Pass on the mashed potatoes. They are better than most, being closer to homemade than other chicken joints, but that isn't saying much given how institutional masked potatoes are at the other chicken restaurants. The rolls are very good. And I stop buy to get drinks just because they have that wonderful flaked ice, fresh tea, and big cups. The restaurant has recently been remodeled, so it's a nicer place to sit and eat. The main reason I like this location is the service. Every time I've been in everyone was attentive, friendly, genuine, and seemed to be enjoying themselves. read more

They now serve breakfast. I had biscuit and gravy with fruit. Everything was fresh and great tasting read more

I've grown up having Golden Chick deliver to my home. I've had a couple of bad experiences in the past but I still love their chicken. I called on a weekday at 11:50am, the phone rang over 20 times before I hung up. This happened 3 times before I got through to someone. When I requested delivery she told me it would be at least an hour because they didn't have a delivery driver on the schedule for the day & she'd have to find someone. It was almost lunch time on a week day & there's no delivery driver scheduled?! I ordered Jimmy Johns & it was delivered by 12:30. read more

My boyfriend and I eat here at least twice a week and always get great tasting food. Carlos helps us at the window and always starts conversation and makes the drive thru experience more personal. Never had a problem here. Food is AMAZING! read more

We were so excited that they were serving Fletchers Corny Dogs since the State Fair won't open. My husband drove thru and bought 4 for a cost of $20. They were nothing like a real Fletchers, wrong hot dog that had a smokey taste and batter so thin it was tasteless. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY, trust me I grew up here and what they served was awful. Stick to chicken. read more

We went to get some golden chick, got 25 tenders and 3 sides. We got mash potatoes and gravy, both of them were almost non edible. The gravy looked like it was watered down and just tastes like gravy flavored water and the mash potatoes was basically just powder. The only thing that was good was the tenders. Wouldn't recommend this location. read more

I do love me some Golden Chick! Chicken strips are my favorite and the FRIES are seasoned and golden delicious! Get a couple of Jalapeno's on the side and this fried chicken and cream gravy plate becomes a master piece! Don't forget the WARM yeast rolls that are to die for! Service is fast and they kick it up a notch by roaming the dining room with additional free warm rolls. Top the whole experience off with self serve ice cream in a cone, then stick a fork in ya, cuz you my friend are D-O-N-E, DONE! read more

I really wish Golden Chick comes to houston. Those tenders are money. Crispy on the outside, Juicy on the inside plus the red pepper powder gives it a nice kick. KFC, popeyes, & church's need to step up their game to compete with these tenders. I also love their gravy, mashed potatoes, rolls, & fried okra. I'll order a box of fried okra and eat on the road if I'm driving down to Htown. read more

A truly bizarre parking lot and entrance, but there is a good product waiting for you inside. I'm not sure if the builder spilled something on the blueprint when they built this place, or if it's a re-purposed building, but once you park and get inside you're in for a treat. I chose the four tender meal spicy and a side of dirty rice, the meal also came with a yeast roll. It was plenty of food for me and under $8.00. The chicken was crispy and the spicy seasoning was perfect. The inside remained piping hot and juicy. The dirty rice was a nice side and it was a good change of pace from the usual mac and cheese or mashed potatoes. If you are still hungry after your chicken meal you can crush some free soft serve, always a nice perk. read more

Golden Chick - Fast Food Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I don't normally write reviews, but this location is deserving of all five stars. Coming from someone who eats golden chick almost 3 times a week I can honestly say this is the only golden chick I have never had a complaint with. I'm always greeted by Darrell when I walk in, and he even remembers my order. He takes a lot of pride in what he does. He's always checking on customers in the dining area to make sure they are enjoying their food. He is an excellent example of what customer service should be like! read more

Comes to fried chicken and tenders, my favorite fast food is POPEYES fried chicken. I came from New Orleans and POPEYES are everywhere. Love the flavor and crunchiness of the chicken and the buttermilk biscuit is to die for too. Since we came home from a short vaca and no food at home, closest chicken joint to home is Golden Chick. Heard and read great reviews plus delicious rolls, family went there for a try. Well..... Rolls were sooo soft and great especially dipping it into the gravy. Chicken tenders and wings were great too. Since this is our first time here, Golden Chick put dried seasoning on the spicy chicken. Since we cut back on salt content in our food, many eating out food is salty. Next time, we will request the dried seasoning on the side and dip it when needed. Not a fan of their fries though. read more

Where to begin? ?? Their rolls for starters. I used to live nearby and would stop by for a dozen of their soft and moist rolls. I swear it's gotta have crack in them somewhere... they're sooo good! Also their fried chicken, fried catfish, & spicy tenders are to die for! Yes, they are on the pricy side. But it is well worth it! ! read more

Great food and friendly staff. Come here for lunch and I never have issues. Zing sauce is good

I was hungry and I've never eaten Golden Chick. Had the tenders with rice . I like the crunch but the chicken was tough. Rice wasn't bad,but the consistency is what you'd expect at a fast food restaurant. Rolls were good and sweet tea was average. Not a bad place for a quick inexpensive bite. This location needs a good remodeling. The interior fits the 80's music. They are opening a location in my town ,so I'll update my review when I eat at that location. read more

All I can say is do not order catfish. Wow I never knew people would serve some small and over cooked food.

The chicken strips are the bomb! I get the fried to go along with and they are crispy and delicious! The also have free ice cream if you want it. read more

Terrible service. The woman taking the order over the drivethru speaker interrupted every five seconds. We got to the window and paid, which already was difficult due to the terrible window. We were handed our drinks and then the lady said they were just waiting on the fries. 10 minutes later (not an exaggeration) we got our two combos. The best part about it was when we started eating, the fries weren't even remotely fresh. read more

Bruh...I love chicken strips. Absolutely love them. And by God, does Golden Chick rule the roost. I plan on reviewing other places I've been to, but I want to get the best out of the way because I'm here to help you. Why would I want you wasting your money on another place when you can go to the Shang-Ri-La of chicken. Don't ask me about rotisserie chicken, or their sandwiches or catfish filets. Sorry dog. Just ain't in the cards. First, the place is clean. I've been to a lot of Golden Chicks but this is by far the cleanest location. Tables are always wiped down, countertops are wiped down, and the trash cans usually always have enough room to slide your trash in. It isn't that annoying crap where you open the little chute door and you have to cram your refuse in. Nah man, they empty it regularly. Second, the service. It's spot on. Attentive, orderly, quick. When your number is called, they don't mumble and you have to guess if they called you or not. You hear the hell out of your number. Third, the chicken. I've had tons of other chicken strip choices and Golden Chick is the best. They have different number count options (I prefer the 6 piece). Decent sized strips, not too skinny and chincy...not too fat. The breading is always crisp. Doesn't get soggy and doesn't just peel off. It stays attached to the strip so you know they took time to develop their breading recipe. The thing that sets them apart is the spicy version. Son...if you haven't had their LottaZing seasoning, you're missing out. It isn't hot to where it takes your breath but it has a decent heat to it. And they liberally apply it. There's no cheap skate application of this either. You want it spicy? BAM!! Your chicken strip is covered now. Oh, congratulations dog. If you like the LottaZing you can buy a plastic container to take home and season with. I mix some with the gravy to dip fries and the chicken strips in. My personal favorite though is to get the spicy strips and drizzle some honey on them. Lots of places have good chicken strips...but GC's strips are well breaded, well cooked/fresh, come in different number combinations and also have a spicy version. That's a superfecta to all you horse racing fans. Fourth, their drink station. Ok. Yeah yeah yeah, blah blah blah. Nothing too extravagant. It isn't one of those fancy-shmancy drink machines with the touch screen display where you have 100s of different flavor combinations. But they have Big Red on tap (how often do you see that?) and their ice is the really awesome small chip-like ice cubes like what you get at Sonic. The only drawback is their sweet tea, is SUPER sweet. It's like cocaine and you need to cut it with some unsweet tea to avoid becoming hypoglycemic. They also have a soft serve machine where you can get a small cone of vanilla ice cream to go. I'm a renaissance guy so little ice cream cones, take me back man. It's a great touch to a good meal and they're complimentary. Lemme tell ya brother, you want awesome chicken strips? Go to Golden Chick. You want the BEST Golden Chick experience? Go to the one on Campbell in Richardson. read more

Came here and ordered 10 tenders and asked for a couple of packets of zing seasoning. Girl in drive through window tells me I need to pay 25 cents for each and refused to give me any. I've been eating here for years and they never do this. Pathetic. Wont come again. Ever. read more
