Chicken King

Occupying a former Sonic, but with all the drive up stuff removed and just a simple drive through remaining, there’s a very small area to line up and then place your order. It’s burgers and fries and chicken wings, mostly. Some salads, too.
At lunch time, the place was packed with pickup trucks and work vans as the place was full up with blue collar workers getting their lunch on. I heard lots of orders for the «chicken wing dinner» being called out, so I’m guessing it’s good?
I just had a grilled chicken sub and it was decent. A lot of hot chicken, chopped into cubes and served with the usual fixings and then topped with provolone cheese. Tasty. And a big mess of fries too.

It was okay. I had high hopes. Staff was nice, hush puppies were delicious though.

I love the Chicken King and normally eat there about 3 times a week. the sad part is they have changed the batter on the chicken and I will no longer eat there 3 times a week.

Stopped by the drive thru after the gym for a Greek salad. The salad was a big portion with plenty of chicken but the olives weren’t pitted and they didn’t offer Greek dressing. The salad itself was quite tasty and fresh. The person at the drive thru was polite and very helpful.

The chicken chef salad is the best!!! I am a fan, I havent tried anything else because that was a hit with me.

Went through the drive thru — ordered fried chicken sandwich and onion rings. They handed me a grilled chicken sandwich and when I said I requested fried, the lady said «Are you sure?» … They fixed it relatively quickly. Bread was stale around the edges, the chicken was chewy, but the fried flavor was decent. Onion rings had almost zero flavor. Not impressed whatsoever with the food or customer service. Will not be back.

Great chicken tenders! Great salads! Their ranch dressing is homemade and aaaaamazing!

With a name like chicken king I thought they would only have fried chicken. I got a great Greek salad when they changed the sign and was pleasantly surprised. It is much closer than showmars with a similar menu. I will be back

A while back the food wasn’t good at all. The quality of the food has improved significantly! The food now looks and tastes good including the chicken. I had to update my review just to be fair. By the way. the staff is really friendly which is also a good thing. We all know how hard that is to find!

Welp, they still won’t sell me a leg and a thigh! But ya know who will? Wal-​Mart! Yep! And all for a a buck ninety-​eight plus tax. And if you get it fresh it is really good!

Food is great! BUT… customer service is about the worst I have ever seen. I immediately thought of a skit on The Chappelle Show called «Pop Copy» (YouTube it!). It was like they were frustrated that I interrupted whatever what ever they had going on to give them some business. What is unfortunate is I punish myself by going back again and again because their chicken is so good. There is never a greeting, a thank you, a please come again or anything positive. Even when I pull up to the drive through window I receive a look of disgust, like «why are you bothering me». Chicken Kings food will only take them so far, at some point I am not going to find their negative attitude humorous.

At first I was hesitant about coming to this place since the Sonic was terrible, however I decided to stop by, and they were running already while continuing the set up. First of all the owner is very nice as well as his daughter, both were very friendly, gave us recommendations even to save some bucks. Also complimented us with sweet tea, personally I am not a fan of sweet tea, but their tea is amazing.
They do take a little long to serve, but that is because they don’t start cooking until you order it. I much rather get something fresh and juicy, other than dry and cold. The chicken is amazing, so juicy and tender and big pieces too. Their Baklava is amazing.
I decided to go again and try something else from their menu, their burgers are really good, this is the first place where they actually make a good BACON CHEESEBURGER, they put a lot of bacon and it is crispy, their seafood, amazing as well, everyone in there looks happy always smiling and very polite.
Looks like they are finally done, and it looks great, definitely worth the shot. The sonic had a terrible reputation but I’m glad they replaced it, because I love their chicken. Only thing i got against it… sundays they are closed.

This is very close to my office and seemed busy so I stopped by to order lunch to go. I got the ½ Fried Chicken with fries and slaw and the portion was gigantic. I generally prefer skinless fried chicken, especially when I fry it myself, but I thought the flavor of their chicken was overall very good and the skin was not overly absorbent of the seasonings; a la corporate chains. They also offer salads and individual sides. The value was also excellent in relation to the portions. I will definitely go back for the fried chicken and fish plates, but the service needs improvement. Most of the runners and order takers are teenage girls and for some reason they enjoy giving me a hard time (phrasing) [double entendre]. But it’s basically a diner so it is what it is.

We passed by this place after noticing it was no longer a Sonic and made a mental note to come by and try it. Gotta have good chicken if you’re called the Chicken King, right?
Sadly, it was average, at best. Ordered the 8-​piece chicken and though the chicken was crunchy and definitely fried, the meat was a bit overdone and dry.
The service was decent. The staff was friendly, and though they told us that it would be fifteen minutes, it was much shorter than that. The premises could definitely use a sprucing up. It doesn’t seem they did any sort of renovation before re-​opening under their new name. And unfortunately, there was a strange smell in the air outside the restaurant that forced us back inside after just a minute or two.
It’s unlikely we’ll be back with so many of the fast food chains within similar distance, and equal or better food.
