I got the two piece catfish meal with okra and green beans. The sides were very good but the catfish SUCKED! Hardly any fish inside the super crispy overcooked batter. I will never order order again. I took a picture, but I got a new phone and it didn't save. read more

They never get my order right. Something is always missing from zing sauce to french fries.

Love this Golden Chick. They have more fresh sides than any other chicken place comparable. Chicken is fresh and rolls are to die for! Place is always clean and service has been great! read more

I was so excited when Golden Chick opened up in Rowlett. I patronized them at least once a week. Well, sorry to say that the last 3 times the food was NOT GOOD. Strips overdone. Fish fillets were not fresh. Fries were very hard. I don't think that the current batch of employees have been trained about quality. I have since gone back to the one in Garland whenever I am in that area. Rowlett location, you have lost another customer. read more

Several years ago when golden chick came to rowlett, I was so excited to have another restaurant in the neighborhood! The service and food were expectable. Well the honeymoon is over! I find the staff rude. Sometimes you are lucky if your order is correct. My husband said the chicken was over cooked! We need to find another Chicken Restaurant! This rowlett location keeps hiring immature employees who do not understand the value of a dollar. When you do not have the rowlett community supporting your restaurant any more, you can see it visually around the restaurant. Zero lines in the drive thru. Zero traffic in the parking lot. If you continue receive bad reviews, golden chick will close and the bad employees will lose their jobs. I would prefer to take my $42.29 away from Golden Chick Restaurant to Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers 4509 Lakeview Pkwy, Rowlett, Texas. read more

Brand new location on east end of Rowlett, TX going past the Tom Thumb. Grand opening was Jan 25th, I waited a bit before stopping in. Drive-thru and limited Dine-in right now, must wear mask to enter. Staff is pleasant & helpful, ready to get your order going! First time I ate at Golden Chick, I tried the Chicken Tender Salad $6.89 which was a huge green salad with cherry tomatos, grated cheese, grated carrots, and a few fresh brocolli florettes. Everything in this salad was Very Fresh! The lettuce had been selected without any wilted pieces. Above-average for fast food, and it was great. Next, the Cholula Chicken Tortilla Soup did not score the same points, no medals. The large is $5.99, not served like the advertisement shows. Kind of watery, but full of right ingredients... flavor was not restaurant quality. This one is more a marketing dept idea. Not bad, but I won't miss it when it goes. The tables here are sectioned-off for distance. They allow guests to self-serve their own drinks. Two restrooms, in good condition. Two big screen TV's in lobby, one with news. Overall, the crew is positive, wanting this location to succeed. Manager I saw is actively engaged, coaching the action. read more

See all

Went today, 1/23/23 & the service was amazing! The person working the drive-thru and window was just so sweet. I was having a crappy day & they made it so much better just by being extra nice. I really appreciate it. Of course the food was good as well. The parking lot is clean too! read more

My family eats at this location every Saturday morning for lunch. The staff is incredible, the food is always so fresh, and the price is unbeatable. Simply perfect! Each and every Saturday we have a great experience and we have the amazing staff to thank for it! Myra, Kim, and Chris do an amazing job each and every week. It is a wonderful tradition we have started with our family, and we are so grateful to have found these wonderful folks. read more

I ordered 24 pc wicked wings and was told 4 rolls did not come with my order. I expressed that information is not listed anywhere within the menu or establishment, and the opposite is actually what is advertised. The manager proceeded to argue and be rude with me. His name was Mohammed. He was nothing but rude and disrespectful throughout our entire encounter and when I told him that what he was saying contradicted what's being advertised on the menu. He replied with "Thats what my GM told me." read more

Yet again another major let down. I've tried on 5 different occasions and every single time something is wrong. Not just a little thing either. Overdone food, old fries, etc. I can't say I'll be trying again. Too many failed attempts and wasted money! I hope something changes here before we are left with another failed companies building sitting vacant... do better Golden Chick. read more

The drive thru line was long, so we decided to head inside to place the order. Glad we did too, they were well staffed and friendly. Just the kind of service you'd like to see for a newly opened location. I can't resist their rolls and the roasted chicken never disappoints. So, we are really glad we drove across town. We are also really hoping they have a long life here in Rowlett. Plus, I really love a drive thru chicken with healthier options such as the roasted chicken and green beans (especially since KFC did away with their grilled chicken - shakes fist). read more

Golden Chick - Yes, Happiness does lie within. - Fast Food Near Me - Rowlett, Texas

Never get order correct. Gave restaurant four tries. Each time order was wrong despite order taker repeating it back. You owe us about $50 but we will save money by not ordering again. What would be the point? read more

This Golden Chick finally stepped up their game and added a chicken sandwich. This beats any chicken sandwich I've had. The lotta zing sauce they put on it is fantastic! Breading was crispy, large chicken breast cooked perfectly. Customer service was very good. read more

Chicken nasty no flavor coke slaw nasty no flavor I wanted to try it it is the last time KFC way better Bye bye read more

This place is a mess I won't recommend anyone going here. The manager Ike Ugo does not have very good customer service and all he cares is about his money. I order $97.17 worth of chicken and only received about half the order and the peices I received were old and dry. I tried calling them last night but they had already had closed so I tried calling all day but it kept telling me the voicemail was full. I went in person today and took him some of the pieces we had that where dry and old and he said he could only replace $28 worth. This is not the first time they do this. Last time I ordered from here we had to throw half of the tenders because they still had pink in them. While I was there they had customers coming in complaining about there orders. read more

I visited this place because it was close to home and ordered a three piece combo the combo stated it came with leg, wing and thigh. Pieces were small yet what I got was leg, wing and surely wasn't a thigh. To top it off the chicken was overcooked, dry and not worth the cost. I made remarks on their website and got email that I would be contacted by their team....two weeks later still no word from them. What you see on their menu or advertisement isn't what you get! read more

I ordered online today and I went through the drive thru and the attendant rudely said I have to come inside to pick it up. Then when I go inside to pick it up, I ordered the baked chicken and they gave me fried. I was so excited to have a Golden chick in the neighborhood and sadly it sucks! read more

The drive thru attended was beyond rude looked like she hated her job didn't go over the order and our drinks were filled halfway plus the biggest turn off was that the workers who worked inside had their masks below their chin and were eating!!! That's disgusting we will be filling a formal complaint cause that's gross pandemic or not the workers shouldn't be eating while preparing food. read more

For $16 dollars you a great amount of sarcasm, excuses for featured items on the menu and a very small amount of below average food. What a shame. We used to enjoy the food, service and value from this chain restaurant back in the 90's. Probably will be another 30 years before we go back. read more

Golden Chick - Fast Food Near Me - Rowlett, Texas

Not really upset just confused? Went at 2pm today and was greeted in the drive through with a man saying "we're closed". Which isn't a big deal until I saw them serve the people ahead of us along with the folks behind us in line. Just odd. Will gladly change ratings if theres a legitimate reason that I'm un aware of. read more

Horrible customer service. Food was literally rotten . Lady at speaker today 8/14/2021 at 3pm VERY ARGUMENTATIVE, I literally asked about the freshness of the chicken and stated last time I came it was rotten . Did she happen to know or could she ask when they got it in . She said " what you mean it was rotten " I said I meant what I said it was bad she said " ok and I meant what I said . " I just left . Very excited to have a golden chick in the neighborhood but EW I ALSO ONLY SEE RESPONSES TO GOOD REVIEW NOTHING TO NEGATIVE - very telling read more

Awful!!! Very poor customer service after purchasing a 16 piece family order and getting home to find that the rolls are completely undercooked and a big blob of dough. I called to let them know they are serving under baked rolls and asked for a manager. I got a response that there was no manager there and lots of giggles in the background. Was also disconnected a couple of times just to speak to someone. Very immature staff. What started out as a wonderful addition to Rowlett has turned into a huge disappointment. Properly cooked food is non-negotiable and customer service is crucial. This was my family's last visit! I live and work in Rowlett, TX. read more

The rice was overcooked really overcooked It was like mashed potatoes The leg was dry and little I mean little The wing was also dry and little the chicken was terrible I think it was from last night or something it wasn't even got won't be going back there anymore the golden chick on Lakeview Parkway read more

I had horrible experience at this fast food establishment! The worst customer service and food quality ever. My okras were all burnt and tenders were chewy. Not even warm at all!!! The girl at order station had her mask down below the chin and had her finger dipped in my drink. I asked her to replace my drink and the chick gave me a nasty attitude that made me NEVER want to come back anymore. The guy who seemed to be "leading" the shift was not interested in fixing the issue at all but was more occupied with flirting or playing with the young female workers there. I will tell all my families and friends not to visit this location EVER. read more

My fiance got food poisoning from this location. His catfish was hard and shrunken as if it were under the heat lamp for too long. We will not be back to this location. I don't understand how hard it was just to make more fresh catfish read more

Should have read the reviews before going. Not sure exactly what the issue is, but the chicken just tastes bad. Not spoiled or rotten, just an odd flavor that was unpalatable. The fries were pretty good. Rolls just blah. Will not be back. Better to drive to KFC or Popeye's. read more

I realize they just opened. And i will give them a few months to work out the kinks However, i went through the drive thru last night. I ordered catfish, with okra and corn nuggets, 2 jalapeño's, large sweet tea and a chicken sandwich. I made it home with very cold fish that had obviously been sitting out for a long time, okra, my sandwich and my tea. Didnt get the rest. Even though it was on my receipt. I hope they get things worked out but i wont be going back for a while. read more

Just got some chicken tenders. There was no zing sauce which should come with the meal. The chicken was horrible smelled and tasted like they burned something in the kitchen. Also the tenders looked like chicken nuggets. If you can't serve the food then don't. Just like fires they didn't have any. But instead they making you pay for horrible food! read more

Steven's service was awesome! Super quick and understanding even with them being so busy and me having a big order. So glad this location opened in my neighborhood. read more

This place did a great job of servicing us in the pandemic. I am from Houston and we don't have a lot of these in my area. I was glad I found it and will be back whenever I am in the area. read more

This place went downhill fast. The first two months open, sandwiches were fresh, juicy and very tasty. Cars were lined up out to the street. It looked like a Chik Fil A drive through. The Cholula chicken sandwich was great two months ago, then last month, the regular sandwich and fries were great. Now, only a few cars and what you get is a STALE Dried up sandwich that has been heating too long. What a shame. There ought to be a time limit on how long a sandwich can be sitting there waiting for someone to eat it. We're done with this place, back to Chik Fil A. Too bad, you had a great chance to have some good business. read more

I just came back from ordering 20 minutes ago and was met with the most rude and ignorant service imaginable. The cashier rudely greeted me when I entered and maintained the same attitude through out the transaction. I let this go. After receiving my order the cashier was getting ready to give me my sauces. I couldn't quite remember the name of the zing(?) sauce and was trying to describe it. Then all of a sudden he snaps at me making fun of the fact that it slipped my mind and that I was wasting his time. He then proceeded to say that because of my behavior I wasn't going to get any sauces then dared me to report him. As he was raising his voice at me, the manager (some lady peaking in from the back) just sat there and did nothing. I try not to be a difficult customer, but this was thoroughly the most DISRESPECTFUL service I have ever had. The previous management was much more professional than this. I will NEVER visit this establishment again. If I could give this negative stars I would. read more
