Love the chicken, mac n cheese, and corn bread! super affordable, personally I always order the Quik meal. Great portion sizes too!

Chicken here is always hot and delicious as are all the sides! I've never been disappointed. Been a repeat customer for years and years

I was so disappointed by my first order from Quik-it! I'd been dying try them since I'd moved to the North Side and had heard friends rave about their chicken. My sister and brother-in-law were coming over, so I placed an order on Grubhub around 3pm, to be delivered at 6. At 5:40 I got a call from Grubhub saying that Quik-it was out of ribs, so they'd canceled by order altogether. I called the restaurant directly to try to get something else in place of the ribs (we had about $80 worth of food ordered). There was no manager available, though the nice woman said I could place a new order on Grubhub, just without ribs (and a few other things they were out of). I went back to Grubhub and was told the restaurant is not taking orders at this time. I really tried, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. I won't order from Quik-it again. read more

Fantastic Chicken!! I'm not much of a Fried Chicken guy, but when you tag it as "Party Fried" Ill try it.. Breast was big and juicy, the wings were huge, the fried part was a party! Ate every piece!.. If you want wings, not like one of those Kids meal .35cent ones, this is the place.. Delicious!! read more

The best food with fresh chicken yams and apples side corn bred muffins and the ribs!

Arrived around 2:45 PM in the place was empty. I ordered a three-piece, the meat was dry and was not hot. The best thing about the meal was the cornbread which was hot. The restrooms are disgusting. I will not be back read more

I have been here three times. 1) The first time, I arrived at 9:45 p.m. on a Sunday night. Despite Yelp (and website hours) saying that they were open until midnight, the woman told me that she had shut down the kitchen and wasn't cooking anything new, so I left. [Update: I submitted to Yelp to update the hours, so now it says that they are open until 10 p.m.] 2)The second time I ordered a chicken strips meal (as I hate meat on the bone) with French fries and a cornbread muffin. The chicken strips were OK; the seasoning was weak, the meat was slightly dry, but there was A LOT of meat! I felt like each one was at least half the size of a full chicken breast. And the cornbread muffin was absolutely phenomenal!!! 3) The third time I stopped by at, like, 6:45 p.m. with the intent of trying the highly-recommended sweet potatoes and apples with a chicken strips meal, --with a cornbread muffin, of course!--but this time the woman told me that they weren't serving chicken strips as they hadn't thawed any that day. What?! They just decided that no one was gonna get an advertised food that entire day? To me, that's a bit messed up. The service seemed curt and somewhat unapologetic the first and third times I was there. The second time, it was decent--the bare minimum that you should expect--but it's not like the woman was super friendly or anything. I'm confused by the reviews where people say they had fantastic service. I'm not creepy or rude or anything. If there was a KFC or Popeyes close-by, I'd probably not give them another chance, but as it is, it is one of the only food places open within walking later in the evening . . . I don't know. When winter is over, I'd probably instead just walk the mile to the fast food places near the Allegheny T station instead. That's sad, because I'd really prefer to patronize local small establishments like Quik-It Chicken instead. But even if customer service at Taco Bell sucks, at least they'll be open when they say they will, and they'll have the food available that's on the menu. read more

Extremely rude staff. I called at 9 pm to order takeout. The lady said that the kitchen was closed. I told her, "I thought you guys were open until 9." She replied with "Yes but tonight we're closing early." No explanation, no sorry, NOTHING! I then began to say that they should really display those changes on Yelp or their website. She hung up on me. The previous time I called for takeout and they were out of four of my six items. No apology from the staff member. Completely rude and acted like I was an inconvenience. I will not be coming back here, which is a shame because I enjoyed the food. read more

I wasn't too satisfied just recently. Which I'm sad to report. Everything tasted so seasonless, especially the sides. The greens tasted like it was just boiled in water. And the stuffing was extremely runny. The chicken was, eh ok. I was very disappointed. :( read more

Ordered from here for the first time tonight. They didn't have everything we ordered initially, which should have been our first warning that we should have just cancelled and ordered from somewhere else. When the food arrived, items were not included that were supposed to be. The macaroni and cheese was poorly textured, the chicken was average at best, and since we didn't receive the cornbread it's probably safe to assume that was average as well. The chicken that arrived was not as described on the menu, meaning the pieces were completely different than what was anticipated. We would not recommend ordering from here, and will not be trying this again. read more

Great chicken and sides (the greens are a little too spicy for my taste, I get the yams and apples) friendly service! Wish they had more drinks in stock. But I love me some quick-it chicken! read more

I had just finished decorating my Christmas tree and I was looking for something cozy for dinner. BBQ is my absolute favorite, so when I saw it was on GrubHub, I decided to try it out. I recently moved to Manchester and I'm still learning the local establishments. I ordered the ribs, yams/apples, and corn bread. The sauce on the ribs is really good with just the right amount kick and smoke. They melted in your mouth with just the right amount of char on the end hat reminded me of burnt ends on brisket. The yams were spiced in a way that felt perfect for post-Christmas decorating. Another reviewer mentioned the cornbread. Yes! Next time I need to try the fried chicken and greens. I like to support my fellow Northside neighbors, so thank you for giving me a late dinner that will have me coming back. read more

Best chicken in the burgh!!! I work on the northside myself & a co-worker order about once a week. The owner is also super friendly!

This is a gas station and NOT a restaurant. Chicken cooked in burnt oil and taste horrible. Went to two locations only to discover the first one was not a mistake. It's in a run down gas station. Would not recommended to anyone. Not worth the $34 cab fare. read more

Best soul food in pittsburgh straight-up. Cheap, delicious and fast. The cornbread muffins are fire. read more

Stumbled upon Quik-It Chicken on the 4th of July...we were very happy it was open since many places were closed. The ribs...this beef was remarkable. These are literally the best ribs I have ever eaten. Also, the cornbread was on point. Very affordable overall, especially for the chicken/meat. Don't judge a place by it's location, looks, or the surrounding area. Just because it's in a less-developed part of the city doesn't mean it's not quality eats. The bathrooms were a little dirty/under-maintained, that would be my biggest qualm. Additionally, the greens were overly salty. The owner was friendly and engaging. I will be back. read more

From mac and cheese to beans to yams, to the ribs and wings, there's more than one reason to visit Quik-It Chicken. Prices for everything are extremely reasonable. The owner is awesome, friendly, and devoted to his fare. The food is always piping hot and delicious, fresh or as leftovers. Ignore the location and focus on the food. Whenever I am near the North Side - or not :) - this is my go to place for soul food. read more

This place is great. The best fried chicken I've come across in Pittsburgh. Look for coupons on groupon. I see them there, to save a few bucks. Get your gas and ice and hair supplies all in one place. Yay valero station for keeping it real! I'll be back again and again. read more

Service was topnotch; he treats you like he's known you for years. Chicken is unexplainably good; yams and apples to die for. Excellent owner. read more

He has the best chicken. Honestly everything is good. I drove 45 minutes to get it. I ordered a rib dinner combo with greens and Mac n cheese. You get a piece of pie with your meal and it was great. It was well worth the drive. Might go tomorrow just to get some chicken!!! read more

Best fried chicken in the burgh period! Ribs are really good too. Sides are all homemade and delicious.

Best fried chicken and nicest owner in pittsburgh. @QuikItChicken #quikitchicken. Really. Amazing food. I love this Place, and the staff are so generous and kind. Check it out!!! read more

I pass Quick-It Chicken on a daily basis and until recently, I have never stopped in. Basically, because it is attached to a Valero Gas Station. I have deprived myself of the best soul food around. Eating from Quick-It Chicken is like having a family member who loves you cook for you. I pick up one of the family packs to take home to my boyfriend. He is particular on his food, and really loves their chicken. Their Mac and Cheese is also amazing. I sneak into the kitchen and eat it so my BF thinks he is the one that ate it all. I really recommend checking out this hidden gem. read more

I just left the 820 Pennsylvania Avenue store. 3 wings and fries. I didn't have a problem when told that the "fries are made to order". I knew they'd be hot and the were~-:) However, I am extemely disappointed that you sold me YESTERDAY's fried wings. Very, very unhappy!! read more

Five meals were just ordered, the wings were salty, the greens and green beans taste like water, the instant mashed potatoes were dry, cheese for the macaroni and cheese was bland and we all just about chocked on the dry cornbread muffins, oh and the fish, was that even Cod foreal.... read more

I'v stopped here 2 different times. The first time I got wings and a side of mac n cheese to eat there and it was really great.Every thing was hot, the mac n cheese was creamy and cheesy and the wings were crispy and fresh, yum. The next time I stopped in I wanted a large order to take home for my family. It took them an hour and a half to make me the chicken. There was over a dozen people come in and pick up their food as I sat and waited. Since you pay when you order I just had to wait. I asked to talk to a manager but the guy told me he wasn't there. The people in the back laughed so I think he was the manager. So I finally got my food and have never been back. No food is worth being disrespected like that. read more

Extortion, lady behind counter charged my stupid self 3x what she charged the girls in front of me for 5.79 for 6 wings and 2 sides My order told the rude lady give me what the girl in front of me ordered only difference was I ordered 3 and 3 that would be 3 wings and 3 breasts? I don't know I didn't want to B I t c h or moan or bring attention to myself there was other customers got charged 17.00 is that right? Plus rude lady had the audacity to ask if I had 9 more cents? WTF? Do NOT ORDER off the menu Rude lady charges what ever she feels like! She needs to go I should complain to BBB just don't have time zero f n stars read more

This was my first time coming to Quik-It chicken. We had a large order and we were running a little late to pick it up. They were understanding and the service was prompt. The employees are pleasant and more than accommodating for our large order. The chicken was delicious! Will recommend for large parties and just to have a bite to eat read more

Really good chicken and cornbread. Make sure you get some hot sauce. The owner is really friendly. Ask for some syrup with the chicken it's delicious. read more

I had not been here in many years. I am very happy to report that the chicken is just as good if not better than I remember. I got the family pack, chicken for three I believe it was called. The chicken was so juicy, not greasy at all! Very tasty! The service was wonderful. The kind gentleman running the place when I was there was very welcoming and made ordering very easy. I chose the macaroni and cheese and greens for our side dishes. The cornbread was out of this world too! It was very sweet and tasty. I would love to have this place cater an event for me. It would be great for a birthday party or just a weekend gathering of friends. I live near the South Side of Pittsburgh and I have never had food this good on this side of the river as far as good down-home cooking. I'm surprised that there was not a line out the door for this place it is that good! So please do not be put off by the gas station facade. The area was safe and I parked in between the gas station and the Rite Aid. My husband was very pleased with the order and we will be returning for sure! read more

2nd time, ribs as good of not better. Literally melt off the bone tender and moist, sauce hilties not overpowers. price is great for 1/2 or full rack. We had cole slaw, potato salad, n beans + rice sides. Folks really differ on what expectations are for all 3, especially the slaw and salad, but these are good, not over mayo, but the flavor comes thru. He was friendly on the ph when we ordered both times, and nothing changed while we were there. Everyone got the same friendly, courteous, patient service and never rushed or cut short. The counter staff was the same. We'll definitely return, and recommend to others. read more

I love their fried wings!! Always good! Whenever I am on the Northside, that is my go to place. The prices are reasonable. Also try the Mac and cheese and cornbread. read more

Most likely the best fried chicken in town. Don't let the gas station locale dissuade you. In addition to the chicken, other stand outs are the corn muffins, sweet potatoe pie, mac&cheese, ribs and lots of other sides. The food is always fresh and the owners, cooks are as nice as can be. Support local neighborhood restaurants! I drive from Aspinwall for this food! read more

Just had chicken and various sides..it was DELICIOUS and very reasonable....they are our "go-to" BBQ chicken place in the city. The best, and we've tried them all.... read more
