Pulling up to this spot, I knew we were in for a good meal. It's small restaurant, but there were CONSTANTLY people walking in and waiting in line. They take phone orders btw but you still need to wait in line lol. Anyway, we ordered the family meal of mixed cuts. The wings were my favorite, but the chicken was so good. The crunch was satisfying. We got two sides: fries and potato salad. And my husband got me fried pickles because its my favorite. We also got rolls with our meal! I honestly think this is our go to for fried chicken now - especially if you're looking for quality and a good meal. The parking lot is busy and smaller, but it is worth the trip. read more

This hidden gem in St. Charles has been my go-to for fried chicken. It is amazing chicken and the sides are delicious. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. It's a small place, so I always buy takeout. read more

We ordered 2 full orders of gizzards first off the service was quick and timely but the gizzards were tasteless rubber nuggets very disappointed the oil was old and no breading on these rubber gizzards. Will never be back read more

My very first review for Yelp, featured King Edwards Chicken. On my first visit this, "hole in a wall," restaurant, wasn't very appealing on the outside, but once in inside, you knew you step into a hidden gem, where food is super star, and anything else isn't important. Just like the first time I came here, chicken was hot, juicy, seasoned just right, and cooked perfectly. The staff behind the counter were fast, efficient, and very friendly. Again, King Edwards Chicken earned 5x2 thumbs up for maintaining consistency and affordability! read more

This is my first time in. Well, they out of corn on the cob. I came for the catfish and the corn. However I'll be trying the chicken as well. Now instead of the corn on the cob I'll be trying the Mac n cheese bites. The sodas are huge. They definitely give you something ta drink. Lol super huge fountain drinks. Ok I got catfish and fries Mac n cheese bites with hush puppies the husband got chicken & fries. So I took some of his chicken and gave him some fish. Anyway the all star legend is the catfish. It's super good and tasty the chicken is number 2 because the fish is number one hands down. First off the chicken was cold. The fish was so hot it melted my box they put it in. Oh joy its delicious you all have got to try this catfish super hot crunchy and tender so flavorful and its just divine. This place is a must try. Ok so with the power YELP has given me I now pronounce KEC a must try and I issue five stars. I'll be back here next week. Lol read more

I called and placed a order last minute for my sons birthday gathering. I was beyond satisfied that they were able to provide me with what I requested the same day. I ordered a ton of wings, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, and green beans. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious . I will definitely be coming back to enjoy a meal. Keep in mind the inside is not very big, but with a few tables . This is more of a carry out. However, give them a shot for any catering needs. You won't be disappointed. read more

My wife and I went back to King Edwards today and got carryout. We ordered 1 pound of chicken livers and the 3 piece chicken meal. We also ordered French Fries, Cole Slaw and Mushrooms. The chicken was good. The livers were over cooked, the french fries and fried mushrooms were under cooked. The staff did their jobs but wan't overly friendly. The restaurant is pretty basic but it was clean. The total bill was $27 which I thought was pretty good for the amount of food that we received. read more

What's a Hodak ? This little gem of place has in my opinion the best fried chicken I've ever had and the sides are delicious as well !!! It's cozy so I usually do carry out and the service is excellent. read more

Some of the best chicken in St. Louis. Great service but get there early. It fills up quick.

Chicken had no flavor what so ever. I dont think they even used salt & pepper. This place used to be very good, shadow of what it once was. The fries were good. read more

Excellent! Best fried chicken ever!!! Great food, great service!!! King Edwards is a 10/10! Every time!

Happened to be checking Yelp and saw King Edwards Chicken. A quaint little spot in St. Peter's, MO that will deliver a great meal If you're in the vicinity. Located a short drive off interstate 70, King Edwards Chicken balances great chicken and sold side dishes. There are a few chicken places in the area, but King Edwards can provide what fast food chicken can't better prices, better quality and better service. The decor within King Edwards was a considerable amount pictures of St. Martin which help pass the time while waiting for your food. King Edwards also has an extensive menus of delicious fried treat such as chicken, catfish and appetizers. We ordered several items off the menu and order was prepared in less that 10 minutes, incredibly moist, full of flavor and side dishes were solid. Fried pickles and zucchini had a little too much grease but then again it's fried so no complaints here! Restaurant doesn't have restrooms so plan accordingly. Tables were also serviced promptly after every customer. Seating is limited and can fill up quickly based on the consistent number of customers we saw during our visit. Overall, good visit and experience. If you're in the area and in the mood for sit hot food, give them a try! We will be back. read more

Ordered the chicken gizzards last night. We could not eat a single one. They all had the hard skin grizzle. I can't believe they even sold me this crap!! I am shocked because they have such great chicken and sides. It is a mistake I will not make again! They all went into the trash!! read more

We love their chicken. Get the lunch special at least once a week! It comes w four pieces of chicken a side and a drink for like $10

So, the first time I had this chicken was a few years back when a co-worker brought a giant pan for Food Day. I couldn't believe how many pieces I ate. I kept going back for more. Over the years, I've visited sporadically because this place is no where near my home, about a 25 min drive in fact, however, what I appreciate is that the food is so fresh that it's still hot by the time I make it back home. The seasoning, the crispness, the preparation, all of it contributes to how great this chicken taste. For this last visit, walk-in order, 5pc Wing w/Green Beans. In and out in less than 10 minutes. Arrived home, food still hot and enjoyed every bit of this meal. They'll see me again. read more

Such good food there. As a foodie I love their fried choices. Chicken always fresh. It's not fancy but they get the food done.

Very good chicken tenders. Crispy and moist. Generous with honey mustard. Many sides available.

A tasty little chicken place in St. Charles City! We ordered our 3 piece white meat meals (one with fries; one with mashed potatoes/gravy) to go, so we could enjoy an outdoor picnic on this beautiful November day at nearby McNair Park. The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. It is good comfort food! read more

Chicken is fantastic - best I've had in a long time. Staff is super friendly and the service is great as well. I've been back a few times over the last few weeks and I'm sure I'll be back again soon. High recommend! read more

Update - I will say to go early!! Went within an hour of closing time and there was no fried chicken left. Only chicken tenders and they were not that good in my opinion. read more

Great food!! Best chicken I've had in years!!! The meat (breast) wasn't dry! It was juicy, just right seasoning, not salty! Fresh ! Fresh! My fiancé has been telling me about this place for a few months! read more

A carry out joint for batter dipped fried chicken. Not an eat in place. We really like it. Sides are good too.

Best fried chicken in town. Small hole in the wall restaurant with a wide virety menu. Quick service read more

Nothing fancy. I would recommend ordering to-go the dine in area is small. They know how to fry chicken, mushrooms, and about anything else that you can find growing. read more

This is a deep fry shack. The chicken is fine. Not really that tasty but a good value, very crispy. The sides I had were bland with nothing but a lard taste. They were onion rings and okra with the okra being particularly bland. They didn't give us or offer us any dipping sauces (and we forgot to ask), so the chicken nuggets were just lard balls with a good amount of white meet in them--obviously frozen from a bag. read more

This place always has great service AND the food is awesome. I go here all the time and it next disappoints!

Hole in the wall place. Good chicken and sides. Potato's are a bit bland but the rest of it is really good.

I frequent this location since childhood. I ordered the 3 piece chicken, bean, mashed potato, and gizzards. The gizzards tasted totally different like the seasoning on the flour breading has changed. They had no flavor. The chicken was also a disappointment. Normally its juicy and the breading is always flavorful but not this time. Hoping it was a bad day and I will give it another try. Hoping that they have not changed the breading. read more

Just plain good. Nothing to be on diners drive in and dives but for a good rib sticking meal you can't go wron

So to begin this is in the pocket of St. Charles tucked away and well hidden you can drive by this easily. Its nestled snugly within a strip mall behind the dmv. only marker is a faded sign behind JJ's. only flaw i have found recently is the seasoning on drums and thighs a little lacking but still present. however consistency 'always seems perfect and juciy dark or light meat', sides seem quick and anything fried to order, and staff have been friendly and welcoming each time. Show up 2 hours after opening or 30 min from close they are quick and efficient if new will offer recommendations. if you want something better than Popeyes or kfc give them a try. read more

King Edwards Chicken, Saint Charles catered my Celebration of Life event. They were outstanding. Everyone enjoyed the chicken and all the sides. Thank you so much. You are the best around read more

This little place is nothing fancy but if you want delicious fried chicken, stop here. I was walking home today from dropping my car off. I stopped in and grabbed some chicken and fries on my way home. I walked home approx 6 blocks, only to be surprised by hot delicious chicken and fries. I was expecting delicious but not hot since I was walking. Very young staff kicking ass!! Great job today! Thank you! read more

Great ambiance and service. The chicken was batter fried. It was tasty, but I'm more of a classic fried chicken fan.

From top to bottom hands down the BEST place to go for fried chicken picky or not everybody agrees this is the best place to go for fried chicken! Plus it's a St. Louis favorite! And to add it is a family business and 100% can be trusted with orders of food for family events, birthdays, holidays and is almost always open! And it has many food options. 100% on the top of many peoples list. And the place itself is INCREDIBLY clean and has a safe environment read more

If you haven't had this chicken, you're in for a treat. Don't go expecting a fancy sit down restaurant cause it's not that. It's a "get it and go" but there's the option to eat in if need be but it's a rather small space. I have yet to go there and get a bad meal. The chicken is always hot, and ready to go. As are the fries, wish they were steak fries but that's my preference. I enjoy my food hot and they always exceed my expectations. The customer service is "can I take your order" but always quick and accurate. I would recommend this place and definitely intend to go back. read more

Really good fried food here. Many menu items to choose from, not just chicken! Pretty unassuming place, nothing fancy about the decor or service but the food is GREAT! Awesome lunch special gets you 4 pieces of chicken (or 5 wings) a side and a drink for $7!!! The chicken is pretty darn good. The breading has a unique "crispness" to it and is loaded with juicy, salty flavor. Sides are great. Fries, mac-n-cheese, slaw are all spot on standards. Cut all that salt with fountain Pepsi, yes please. This place easily beats any fast food chicken chain restaurant for me. Add to that, its a small, locally owned business that has stood the test of time. King Edward's is a home run for a quick, cheap, delicious and very filling meal. Enjoy! read more

I've been going to King Edwards since I was a kid and it's still my favorite chicken place. Anytime I find out someone hasn't been or had King Edwards, I make it a point to make sure they know they're missing out lol. Best breading ever, crispy but not overdone, chicken is juicy and tender. Always hot and fresh... may have to wait a few to get your order, but worth the wait! read more

They were so kind and welcoming to our party. This was a perfect first stop after an early morning flight!

I ordered chicken breasts , mashed potatoes and gravy and coleslaw from King Edwards today for the first time and it was delicious! This is my new place for chicken. Thank you! Joan read more
