Johnny's Ozark Fried Chicken - Fried chicken & fish & shrimp - Fast Food Near Me - Kilgore, Texas

Good hot food made fresh, very Friendly staff, we will def go back again, id like to try the fish

Don't try ordering on line or over the phone. Menus are outdated and several items are no longer available. We are new to Kilgore and really wanted to try it. My husband drove over and ordered at the window, not much easier. Fish was ok but sides are very limited and the coleslaw was not good. He had the chicken and wasn't impressed with it either. read more

On our road trip to New Orleans from Dallas we stopped here to grab lunch. The lady that took our order was the sweetest lady. I just love her energy. I ordered the daily special which was 3 piece of fish and two sides and a drink for $12. I ordered the green beans and Mac n cheese and 3 pieces of chicken and two jalapeños. The food was delicious fresh out the oil and hit the spot. The restaurant was clean and had plenty places to eat and clean restrooms. I would recommend this place if you have a taste for fried chicken or fried fish or both. read more

Johnny's Ozark Fried Chicken - fried chicken and a sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - Kilgore, Texas

Inside the restaurant the tables are set up family style. Small but clean. Bathrooms could use a little upgrading. Lots of regular customers come in for their favorite meal. I'm trying the fish today. The regular chicken has been my favorite for awhile so I'm trying the fish dinner with okra and green beans today. Service is always quick and with a smile read more

As a kid I went to this business often. As an adult I have only been twice. The first time I felt as though the food was mediocre at best. The second ended in my whole household getting sick. I know folks that swear by this place, I just don't think I'll ever go back. read more

Chicken and fish are good. I like the many home style vegetables they offer. We usually do takeout.

The outside of the restaurant is an unassuming building, with a for sale sign in the front flowerbed. The inside is Alright, it is an older building. Women's bathroom was out of order. The service was great, everyone was nice and talkative. Food came out relatively quick. We got chicken tenders and fried catfish, with sides of fries, fried okra, and mac and cheese. It was less than $30 for all of that with 2 small drinks. The catfish was alright, 6/10, but the fried chicken tender on the other hand were a 10/10 they were amazinggg. Okra was good and crispy, 8/10 The fries were also good and an 8/10, The white cheddar mac and cheese on the other hand, was the best I have ever had, it was thick and creamy.10/10 The portion sizes were more than generous. read more

I just moved to Texas from California and this is my favorite place to eat (my 5 year old is obsessed too and asks for it every time)! Best Mac and cheese, best baked beans, and best fried chicken! Oh, and have you tried the hushpuppies?? Extremely drool-worthy! Best I've ever had! Someone in that kitchen is doing it RIGHT! read more

In town visiting my brother who brought home fried catfish, French fries and coleslaw and Xtra tartar sauce. Very good fish & fresh seasoned fries (enjoyed leftovers today). The slaw was creamy but there was an aftertaste which I couldn't tell was from the mayo or the slaw but all in all very good. Bro says they have KOOL-AID on tap and that's enough for his South Dallas self to be sold ;) God bless your business read more

Great food and service. Love their fried fish and fried chicken. Gives Chicken Express a run for their money!

Good old fashion greasy fried chicken. From a health standpoint I wouldn't recommend it every day, but who am I?! For me it's an every now and again treat. Plenty of Fixin's to go with it. read more

This is a wonderful local restaurant. Very clean comfortable setting. Service was great, friendly and helpful. The food was wonderful!! The best fried chicken tenders I've ever had. It was really tender and delicious. I also had the homemade banana pudding. It was wonderful. Really everything we had was great! We will definitely come back. You will enjoy this hometown treasure. read more

Best fried chicken I've ever put in my mouth!! Don't miss this place if you are ever in the area! We were on motorcycles and could smell it when we turned the corner. It was Sunday afternoon. They were super busy. The staff was pleasant, even chatted outside with one of the cooks on her break! The white cheddar mac n cheese was creamy and perfect. The fried okra so good. Everything was cooked when ordered so it was hot and delicious. If we are ever back in the area, we will be stopping in again...to try the catfish and shrimp. read more

Best chicken in town! Great hometown restaurant with well seasoned food. Ladies at the counter are always nice.

Great service and great food. The chicken is good but the catfish and shrimp are great. Love the longbranch fries and the fried okra. Generous portions at a reasonable price. Both their cocktail and their tartar sauce are well made. read more

Everything is beyond Amazing. My mama had chicken fried chicken and she loved it my brother had a double meat cheeseburger and devoured it I had the catfish and macaroni and cheese it was delicious and my little sister had spicy chicken and everything was delicious. I definitely give y'all a 10 out of 10 read more

Not a bad little place. Everything is fried mostly, so if you are health conscious, this is not the place for you. The fried catfish was pretty good. Only problem is, service is severely lacking if you go through the drive thru. They should honestly just take it out. Seems to be family run. A ten year old cutie may deliver your food. But good ol' fried country food. read more

Nest shrimp ever. I always order catfish and shrimp here. My husband enjoys shrimp and spicy chicken.!Their chicken tenders are scratch made and tasty too. We enjoy eating here especially since they redid the dining area. I would like to see more enthusiasm or welcoming from the front cashiers but other than that we love the place. It is clean the food is good quality and it is tasty. read more

We went Monday night for the first time. The place was very clean, the employees were friendly and helpful. Also, the chicken was yummo, and the Key Lime Pie was divine. read more

Best fried chicken and catfish around. Everything is made to order so it is hot and fresh. The spicy chicken is awesome!

Never coming back!Went through the drive thru and the girl was so rude! Guess it's Popeyes from now on!!

Ummmmmm... why do we even have other chicken eateries in kilgore? Heck within a 50 mile radius when we have Johnny Ozark? My only complaint is that I have to limit how many times I eat it a week. I just don't have my 30 year old metabolism anymore. read more

Make sure you check your order before leaving. I ordered 6 rolls with 3 pc chicken and 2 pc fish and cashier and others to inefficient to give us our rolls. Not worth the drive back to Kilgore from South Tyler read more

DELICIOUS!!! Don't let the outside appearance fool you. If you blink you will drive right past it. From the chicken fried steak, to the catfish, to the fried chicken, it is all so good. read more

Awesome, we ordered tenders and okra. We're from OOT and decided to try this place out. At first glance we were indecisive but Thank the LORD we gave it a try. The tenders were seasoned well and the okra was fresh. Everything came out hot and deWhenever we are in the area- we will be returning!!! read more

If you're reading this and like fried chicken w/ sides, go to Johnny's Ozark. It's not just good, it's the best you'll ever have. I drive two hours round trip just to eat this place. There's no other place like it, I promise you. read more

Best chicken in Kilgore. Good service, and don't forget to try the stuffed peppers they are awesome.

The service here was just great, loved the people working, and the food is certainly good. The chicken was cooked properly with a nice little spice to it and the homemade pies were great. read more

While the chicken did taste good, don't go here if you're in a hurry or very hungry. I waited 22 minutes in the drive thru with only two cars (myself & another). That's absurd! read more

I've been coming here since 2007, and i would rather eat here than any other chicken restaurant. Their chicken reminds me of homemade fried chicken on Sundays when i was growing up. Nothing better. They have pretty tasty catfish too. And now that they have remodeled the inside, it feels a lot cleaner. Give them a try. read more

Best mashed potatoes ever . And fish, everything I've gotten from there was cooked to order. I didn't even have to ask for Tatar sauce!

Love this place. Try to stop by whenever I'm going through Kilgore. Best fried okra and chicken fried steak I've had in a while. Sad that all our family run Southern food restaurants are being replaced with Mexican. read more

Seriously amazing fried chicken, and spicy actually tastes like spicy chicken should. Good value too. Interior of the restaurant was really clean and tidy. They offer fish, shrimp, sandwiches, and a good variety of sides and extras like gizzards. It's a nice and quiet restaurant that also has a drive thru and buckets to take home. Will def go back! read more

I actually like this little hole in the wall place. I do the drive thru and take home, but the food is always good and I have yet have an order done wrong. I just love their fish and their chicken. Not a bad little place, I do however miss their chicken and dumplings they had years ago, man oh man those were awesome... read more
