Pete’s Chicken-n-More

This is supposed to be «fast food» however I went through the drive-​thru and it took over 28 minutes for me to receive my order?! HORRIBLE customer service and after all that waiting the food was not even that great! I would NOT recommend this place if your in search of some chicken.

Got sick. undercooked and salty. heb, kfc, anyone but pfc. not good hygiene at this place, that’s why I got sick. my opinion. avoid.

I live down the street from Pete’s on Yorktown so my daughters have always liked it. After the last 4 visits, I promised to never return because of the extremely slow service. There is plenty of chicken in the warmers but it takes up to 15 – 20 minutes in «lane a» to get the food. Fries are below average but the chicken is ok. We ate inside A few months ago and I had to complain to the manager which I never do because they forgot our order and we waited over 30 minutes. I wrote a review on the comment card, as did another customer before me. I guess they don’t read them because nothing has improved.

I’ve been here many times because of the restaurant being close to my house. I haven’t gone for quite some time until today and noticed they have a new menu. I got the new chicken bites and they were delicious with the Buffalo sauce. The wait for a drive thru was entirely too long though. It took 20 minutes for 2 meals. Outrageous! Also, they have gone up on their prices and charge a little to much for sauce. A 1 oz portion cup of ranch was $ 0.69. I really like the food and will probably be back, but it’s costly and the service isn’t always great (another reason I give 3 stars). The owner really needs to evaluate his thinking about raising the prices and maybe hiring some employees who are thankful for their jobs!

A long time customer. On my last visit I promised myself to never ever return to Pete’s.
I called the young manager and explained that for a long time Pete’s has been cutting their breasts in half. There was a time that one breast and their delicious fries was a complete meal.
Not any more. I used to ask for their tarter sauce as a condiment. Now, the charge is 69 cents for a tiny cup.
Outrageous! And don’t ask for a piece of fish. $ 1.69 for a half dollar size piece. I refused to accept it. They had me wait another 15 minutes on top of the original 25 minute wait. The next piece was just slightly bigger. So I asked for a wing instead… another 10 minute wait.
By the time I arrived home everything was cold and a bit soggy. Shame on you people. Sell the place to someone that will provide good taste, size and fast service.
Popeye’s gives you better deals for your money. Embarrassing that a national franchise can out do a local outfit. Just close it down. Too bad, the glory days have expired. I don’t blame the workers, I blame the owner. They have become sloppy, apathetic and greedy.
Just go away!!! Adiós. Find suckers in a different city that will put up with your less that mediocre service.

It was ok — I went here based upon the recommendations of locals — not bad — long wait for the food though — Had the chicken tenders — was ok I guess — kids enjoyed them.
I’d go back again but not my first choice.

the chicken was good, the gravy was extremely salty’ called the phone number to complain to a Maldonado ;never retuned my call. hello churches’ chicken’

I had never tried Pete’s Chicken-​n-​More (one of the 4) even though they’ve been around since the 70s. Where I work, we have to option of ordering their chicken to be delivered to our location so I wanted to give it a shot. Now, understand, getting food delivered (especially fried chicken) is pretty tricky. If you trap ANYthing fried inside of a container for too long, the steam will make make it undesirably soggy.
Well, that didn’t happen. The chicken that arrived with my lunch was hot, crisp and very tasty! I can only guess that they’re using some rice flour in their coating because it has that certain, light crunch texture you get from either rice flour or crushed Panko — and I doubt it would be the latter. But, they’re definitely brining their chicken which is why it has so much good flavor! And they cut their chicken into 8’s, instead of 10’s, so the pieces are a good size; another plus.
The cole slaw was very good, the mashed potatoes were alright but they need to be careful with the chicken base in their «golden gravy.» This batch came out a little salty (which is what happens when you use too much base). Otherwise, the sides were an excellent compliment to this great chicken. And, it’s that standout chicken that shoots my rating to 4 stars.
Fried chicken places in Corpus Christi are about as numerous as doctors offices (which makes for an interesting coincidence) and I’ve (thought I had) tried all the chains, the locals, and the «convenient’ ones. But, I have to say, in all sincerity, Pete’s Chicken-​N-​More tops ‘em all. Seriously, think about it. If the chicken is this good when it’s delivered from what is likely 10+ miles away, can you imagine how much better it is at the restaurant?
