Charlie’s Chicken and BBQ

I don’t recall ever having a bad experience here so far. Been awhile since I have been there but the last time I got spicy chicken chunks they were delicious. My food is always prepared well thru drive thru. If there were any criticism it would be the drink size for the price seems a little off but I just don’t buy drinks for that reason everything else is good

This is the best Charlie’s chicken I have ever eaten at! Friendly staff and great food.

BEST EXPERIENCE IN PRYOR, OK!
We were greeted by the owner and he was so nice. Food was amazing and best ribs I’ve ever had. Will definitely return if we make It back to these parts.

Manager was very friendly, explained how they are set up. She even let us taste the chicken. I ordered chicken chunks and they were delicious! Overall very reasonably priced tasty chicken. I would recommend to a friend.

Great customer service Food is always fresh and hot! The atmosphere is fantastic. It’s like going to grandma’s house for Sunday dinner. Love this place… only one complaint the prices are the same as a steak house. I mean come on its Chicken not sirloin. I would eat here more often if it didn’t cost on average of 15 per meal.

Passed through on business for lunch. The place was clean, the service was friendly, the prices were fair for the portions. However, the sliced beef was 100% without flavor. Not just lacking seasoning; it didn’t even taste like beef. It tasted like… nothing. I’m giving 3 stars because the bbq beans were pretty good, and my coworker said the fried chicken was good. But if you’re a bbq aficionado, this place is not for you.

I had a rib plate, priced pretty decently. The meat was fall off the bone but the dry rub was flavorless. The spicy bbq sauce saved it though. For sides i had baked beans and fried okra the beans were delicious but the okra was bland.

This is a tricky place to review. Your expectations for dining in a small city like Pryor should be relatively low (no offense, nice people of Pryor, but there are very few options and less competition means less incentive to put out quality food).
That being said, I didn’t know something as bluntly-​named as «chicken chunks» could be so tasty. I ordered 5 of these all white meat chunks of boneless chicken, complete with spicy bbq sauce and country gravy.
The good: The chicken was juicy and delicious. The bbq sauce was sweet and peppery, with lots of flavor. They have mild versions, too.
The bad: I got a pre-​frozen ball of mashed potato on my plate with gravy from a packet. No down-​home love here.
The ugly: The place looks and feels grimy. Just because you cook with oil doesn’t mean you have to smear it on the tables, guys. A little cleanliness goes a long way.
For a cheap meal on the go, the chicken chunks were a surprisingly good eat. But never, ever go out of your way for a place that can’t even keep their restaurant clean on a slow afternoon.

I walk in and was greeted while I read the menu specials at the beginning of the cafeteria style restaurant. The server kindly explained how everything worked.
The cafeteria-​style restaurant menu items looked like mostly comfort food sides and main dishes.
Since I wanted some kind of barbecue I chose smoked turkey and my two sides were broccoli rice casserole and broccoli slaw. I just realized while writing this that I had two broccolis.
The smoke turkey came out like deli meat, thinly sliced. Since the meat came from the back, I have no way of knowing if it really was deli meat. I would say it tasted like good deli meat. The broccoli rice casserole was salty and tasted somewhat processed. I really enjoyed the broccoli slaw which I have never had before. It had a very good fresh, crunchy and flavorful taste. I would definitely go back for that side dish. The other comfort food side dishes looked okay but I’m glad I picked the broccoli slaw.
As I drove through other small towns in Oklahoma, I saw more of these Charlie’s Chicken and BBQ restaurants, so I see that it must be an Oklahoma chain.

I’m not really a fan of this place, but it has pretty good fried chicken. I would prefer this place over Popeyes, KFC, or Churches for sure though. They also have BBQ and other fixings, but I have not tried them yet.
The establishment looks a little out of it’s time, but considering it’s in Pryor it fits in just fine. The TV’s are the old CRT type and this place doesn’t really have anything fancy.
The service is not too bad. The manager came out and greeted us, ensuring we are having a good meal.
Although most of the stuff is unhealthy here, I wouldn’t mind coming back and trying something else.
