We usually love golden chick but I'm extremely disappointed. I ordered a family size chicken salad, I will usually make this my lunch for a couple of days. When I got home I checked the "use by" date... which was this morning at 10:16 am. So, the chicken salad sold to me was past its used by date. Really disappointing. read more

Golden Chick - Fast Food Near Me - Van Alstyne, Texas

The Golden Chick in Van Alstyne is without a doubt the slowest and least accurate place ever. Placed our order, which we had to repeat it six times and was then asked to pull around and park. Almost 30 mins later, we still didn't have our order, although 3 cars that came after us had already left. Took the receipt inside and was treated like we had 3 heads and were told we'd have to wait for them to drop the chicken. Please don't waste your time or money here. read more

I'm not sure what happened but the quality of service and food here have gone way up. I live in Sherman and drive all the way out here because it's just that damn good. read more

I'll let the salad speak for itself...disappointing again. This is the 3rd time the salad and or chicken tenders have been below expectations. I have read the reviews and GC always acknowledges the review and apologizes, but yet nothing changes I'd give the service 3 stars- not the best personality to be the face of your restaurant and service walk in customers. Ambiance also gets 2 stars. It was noon time, but not busy and one car in drive through. No one in restaurant, but 2 dirty uncleared tables greeted me right inside the door. read more

Golden Chick - Close up of bad lettuce removed from salad. - Fast Food Near Me - Van Alstyne, Texas

See all

I knew as soon as I ordered that this was going to happen. I have seen it before. The order taker did not repeat the order back to me. The screen beside the order microphone did not show my order at all. And when I got to the window and asked for the order to be repeated back to me, surprise, surprise, the order was not accurate. The order taker did not mention that my drink should not have ice, like I ordered. He missed the extra gravy like I ordered. He missed the fries should be extra crispy like I ordered. After he remade my drink (this time without ice), and after he reassured me that they would get the extra crispy fries and extra gravy, he handed us the order and we went home. My fries were not extra crispy and the extra gravy was missing. I would strongly advise that you check every thing and make sure they supply it exactly like you ordered. If you get the server that I got, likely you won't. This occurred on Sunday, Mar 9, 2025 at 1:10pm in Drive Thru. read more

Chicken not golden; 8-pc meal consisted of 3 wings, 2 legs, 2 thighs and 1 breast, only 3 pieces were cooked to golden doneness. Sides were OK but the star of the show should've been the chicken. Should've read the Yelp reviews before picking this place. read more

Golden Chick - 2 gold, 2 not - Fast Food Near Me - Van Alstyne, Texas

The food was very good. Service was also very good. Second time I have been to the store in Van Alstyne. Will be going again.

Run thru the Drive thru on the way home at least every other week. Food is always good and the service is above average.

Ever have one of those nights where take-out seems like a good option? Judgement call gone wrong, two bites into my Golden Check meal and I knew I should have eaten that can of Dinty Moore stew. I could have swore that when you 'stand-up' a plastic spoon in mashed potatoes, that it would remain upright. My spoon sank faster than Jack in Titanic, and with that said I do not recommend the mashed potato soup. Almost all of the 12-piece meal combo was forgettable, except for one thing - the $43 sticker price. For $43, I could have carved out a large slab of wood and saved poor old Jack's ass. read more

They got my order right and it tasted great! I ate inside and it was clean and spacious as well. Definitely would go back! read more

Golden Chick - Inside - Fast Food Near Me - Van Alstyne, Texas

I stood at the counter for five minutes and the girl was on her cell phone obvious to me. She got the order wrong on many things. She was not paying attention. I got the sandwich. It was ice cold. So we're the tenders. I have eaten at other Golden Chick and the food is usually hot and great. I would bypass this one and try the next one down the road. read more

The staff is rude and has gotten my order wrong every time we go. This particular time tonight really drew then line though. One of the female workers put way to much zing powder on the chicken and then told us that we could just "shake it off" and it doesn't even come off when you shake it, she also gave us burnt rolls. Some were so hard they were like rocks, and then also didn't even give us the mashed potatoes or the chicken gravy like we had ordered but we didn't notice till we got him because they put the sides under the rolls in the bag. We tried to call several times to tell them they forgot part of our order and there was not one call answered. I have never seen such horrible service in my life. Van alstein location just to start all over with a whole new crew because it seems to be the only location that I and many others have had a problem with. read more

I do believe this will be my last time. First of all they left out our rolls for the 3rd time in a row. We ordered the 10 piece thighs and fries. The chicken was so stringy and tough it was not edible. The French fries were stone cold. When we ordered our chicken we had to wait about 20 minutes for them to cook it. My guess is the fries sat there in the sack and waited on the chicken too because they were not even warm. I called to let them know and no one ever answered the phone. I tried several times. read more

All I can say is open yet closed AGAIN! This is probably the third time I have tried to go to this place for my kids and over 30 min before closing the doors are locked and the open sign is still on. The workers inside won't tell you why but they just look at you like your nuts. They have a sign that says their headphones don't work and they can't take anything larger than a $20. I would say sell the place and let someone that wants to run a business take over. If I could give zero stars I would. This is crazy. Many places out here are poorly run but this is above and beyond. read more

I stopped going to the original store due to stupidity and terribly slow service. It was exciting to see new ownership, it lasted all of 3 weeks! Food is good but everything else sucks! My order was correct, no napkin, no plastic ware. I sat at the pickup window way too long for 4 chicken strips and mass potatoes. At any given time cars are stacked out of the driveway. I hate to say it, but I'm not going back. It's obvious management doesn't pay attention to this place, sorry, it's just a thing with me. read more

Slow service, people working the window were not aware of the products sold. I generally like Golden Chick, although this location is pretty poor. Waited nearly 20 minutes from order to receipt in drive though. read more

630 on Saturday night and they are out of fried chicken. This is while the hispanic guy and skinny blond is playing paper football. 15 min wait she said. No more like 30 min wait. smh. Must have been 12 cars that just flew through without an order. First and last time here. read more

The. It's things change the more they stay the same. We were all hoping that the "New Ownership" would make a difference since a golden chic is our only chicken restaurant. Nope. I just drove through any purchase the 30 piece mixed with two family sides. The corn nugget family side is $2.00 more than the other sides (not the case at chicken express in Anna). But this is the best part. I was packed up with four legs and four wings. That's the mixed family meal. Not in 40 years of ordering take out chicken have I seen an 8 piece mixed with just legs and wings. Every other place puts two breasts, two thighs, two legs, two wings. Technically I got what I paid for. To complete the review let's talk about the over browned breading and overdone meat. Pieces so small they make KFC pieces look large. So here this is the review earned by Golden Chick. Save your money. Drive down to Anna or up to Sherman. Golden chic is not worth the visit. read more

What is it with this place that requires them to ruin my meal every time I order here. The people are always annoyed and my chicken never has the spice on it. Warm tea. I've even had chunky gravy. I'm not coming back here. They're trash. read more

Worst drive thru experience ever. Spent over $50 on a family meal and some extra sides. Very rude drive thru employee. Asked to add a half dozen rolls at the window and was told they can't sell rolls by themselves. That's a first. When we got home, the half dozen rolls that came with the family meal were wadded and smashed into a ball. Napkins also looked like they were already used and also wadded into a ball. On top of all that, they forgot one of the family meal sides. Save yourself the trouble and go to Chicken Express in Anna, just a few exits down 75. read more

I was placing my order at the drive thru.The employee that was taking my order kept getting my order wrong. I guess she couldn't hear me. When I spoke louder for her to hear me she got an attitude. She said she would not serve me. Because I was Yelling. I spoke with the manager, Connie regarding this issue. I guess the policy of this Golden Chick is "the customers are always wrong." Connie never said she was sorry for the poor customer service. This is not the first time I received poor service at this location. I will never return. read more

I always get their chicken sandwich with fries and a large Sweet Tea and they have never disappointed me. Their food is always fresh and hot and the tea is always fresh and sweet just the way I like it. I'll definitely keep going back. If y'all are ever wanting chicken this is the place to go! you won't be disappointed!! read more

Haven't been too pleased with food quality since the reopen. Rolls have been doughy and not entirely cooked. Chicken always has a mushy part where it wasn't fried correctly. You'd be better served driving to Anna or Sherman for fried chicken. read more

Stopped by here on the way to Sherman! I had the same problem as all the other reviews. They got our order wrong. Also, even while we were ordering, the cashier seemed to have an attitude. Then, when we got to the window, she forgot to give us our drinks and I ended up having to walk back inside to get them. *sigh* BUT, the food was actually good. I would say this chicken is like Church's Chicken, but better, but still not as good as KFC (I'm a KFC girl). Fries were good but they didn't really seem fresh. Eh. This place has pretty decent food, so they just need to get their order accuracy and customer service to match. read more

They didn't give us the macaroni and cheese we ordered. Every time we go there they mess our order up.

We just moved to Van Alstyne five months ago and we were so happy that golden chick was opening. We love it! Great service and spicy mouth watering chicken! UPDATE : Okay, literally right after make this review, we went for a late lunch. If you want freshly made then only come during lunch and dinner, not in between or you get leftovers and its not great. Even the tea was old tasting :/ read more

You might think we will put in the garbage,mistakes isn't problems, the problem is people make it happen but they won't fix That Golden Chick is one less for star, if I can...I just moving to the sherman, and I love golden chick, but this location was alful terrible....when we're there my husband asking 15 MX but we arrived to home just only 11pic,when I call then I wasn't say something, the operator just know me, why? I didn't say something and you just know why we calling? It's "funny"...When i talk to manager, the manager wasn't know how to respect customer the conversation ....I never knew how rude the manager can be like that.....when I told her my husband order 15 pic, she say my husband just order 8pic and because the win is small that's way they put 3more pic on this order, I find the recipe, and when we get order I was there, my husband asked 15pic half half, you guy should have recoding what you talking about, every time we going to golden chick we just did same order, and this time we got 3 pic little win 8pic bread, I really feel disappointed, and I never ever came back again, and the service was horrible, I was nice to talk, but the lady know why we calling back, that's really really bad experience on this time read more

Golden Chick - Fast Food Near Me - Van Alstyne, Texas

My wife and I stopped by and were very disappointed with the food. We ordered 2 roasted chicken meals that were over cooked and had very tiny portions, our sides were also over cooked. Needless to say we will not be bringing our business back to this location. read more

friendly staff. young man in the lobby help Me decide what combo was better for me( needed to feed a large group) they even cooked it fresh for me. read more

This location has the worst customer service and there hasn't been one time that they get our order right. The food is good, just horrible service. read more

I have only visited this location twice and the 2nd experience was horrible!!!!! Do not visit this location at all!!! I waited over 15 minutes for 2 catfish combos only for them to be burnt and the fries were inedible to the point that it would be a health hazard to consume them. I contact corporate 3 times and they have done NOTHING in regards to the issue. Since corporate cares less about holding this franchise up to standard, I will not patronizing another Golden Chick establishment ever again! I advise to stay far away from this place! read more

This location closed several months ago and now is under new ownership and management. Re-opened November 3rd and has been really good. Food is always hot and fresh and staff is friendly. Owners are local so it is ran properly this time. Thanks Golden Chick! read more

Horrible! We waited a year and a half for it to open and what a big disappointment. Greasy, leftover, and no flavor. Will still be driving to KFC or Chicken Express in Anna. Prices are average to too expensive for lack of quality. read more

This location is ridiculous! Drive thru takes 5-8 minutes per car to take the order. You sit there and wait for the person to be "ready" to take the next order. Then when you get to the window & give them your money they tell you to go park in the parking lot and they will come find you when your food is ready. I get the food and drive home and then there are no sides in the bag. I had ordered the coleslaw but the girl told me that i did not want that because it tasted like vinager and everyone was complaining. I called back and advised i did not receive my sides, took the time and drove back and it took 25 minutes to get the 2 order of fries they had failed to put in the bag. Over an hour and no time left to eat!!! read more

I go to this Golden Chick because I get the best customer service here than the other Golden Chick restaurants in the area. I love their catfish. They always put the catfish in to fry when you order it. So its fresh!! You have to wait for it, but it is worth it! The two older ladies working both front and back give this restaurant a family-owned quality where they care about what kind of service you get. My work buddies and I eat here 2 to 3 times a month. read more

Rudest staff out of any restaurant in VA. Nearly every time I go, they "ain't got" something, per the drive thru cashier. Annoyed is an understatement. read more

Previous review is clearly still butt hurt about the ridiculous amount of time we waited for Golden chick to finally open (and it was way too long) but it was worth the wait!!! The chicken is a million times better than Chicken Express (we actually had chicken express the day before Golden chick opened) & the difference was mouth watering! We've been probably too many times because between the sweet tea, chicken strips, chicken salad sandwiches & mix of roasted & fried it's delicious! What's the point in driving further to get dried or decent chicken in Anna when this deliciousness is in our back yard. Staff is nice & line is never too long and haven't had to wait as long as I have in the other joints around the area. Well worth the wait in my opinion! read more
