Golden Chick

Great owner and staff. Food consistently good! We passed two other golden chicks to come here on Lamar mmmm!

My son introduced this place to me and I argued or procrastinated on trying this place. One day he called on his way home from work to tell me Mom don’t cook dinner I already bought us dinner.
So He brought us home,
Fried Chicken
Fried chicken tenders
mashed potatoes
country gravy
macaroni and cheese
rolls
and these packages of Lotta zing
OK the Fried chicken has some great crunch to it and isn’t all dried out. The sides were good But Oh my goodness let me tell you Add that Lotta Zing to your food and it gives it a whole new punch of flavors, taste and the food when from good to out of this world!
Since this one visit This is one of my new favorite fried chicken places and I have eaten here at least 6 times now.
For the Taste, price, location and drive thru convenience I am giving it 5 stars!

Ive been eating at this Golden Chick location for twenty years now and its a definite favorite of mine. The chicken, the rolls, the fries, the okra, the gravy, the tender sandwiches with honey butter… always hot, freshly made, and scrumdiddlyumptious!

Baby I know they lines long and ppl slow but i just love them tenders! The rolls, fries, all that taste so dang good! When I was a UT student I went here like church (once a week!). If i ever win the lottery I’m going to take golden chick to the people!

Not the pilar of efficiency. Had to wait in line for almost 20 mins while the ONE person cooks, takes orders, works drive through, ect. Two stars cause the chicken is good.

A co-​worker of mine has Golden Chick in his 5-​fast-​food-​joint rotation. (It may be Thursdays he brings the Golden Chick bag back to his desk) Anywho, he brought his chicken strips and it implanted a craving in Your Ol’ Pal Shooey, that said something like, «Must. Have. Chicken. Gross, greasy Chicken» I couldn’t shake it. And as I drove down North Lamar, I spied it– Golden Chick. I thought to myself, «I like gold, and I like chicks, so let’s do this.» I whipped in to the parking lot, and bounded in, and found the Chicken Tenders Sandwich on the menu. Ta-​DAH…
Golden Chick in much like any other fast-​food chicken place. The basic assortment of chicken, the same choices of sides. I opted for the «cardiac-​patient» green beans, instead of the «what-​probably-​made-​me-​a-​cardiac-​patient» mac & cheese. (Dammit.) The food came out fast, and it was everything I expected. Two, perhaps three chicken tenders on a yeast roll, drenched in honey mustard. The roll was actually pretty good, and the chicken itself far less greasy that I’d feared. The green beans were soggy and tasteless. The honey mustard from the sandwich started to seep from the sandwich and onto my hand, making for a sticky mess. My low expectations having been met, I bestow two sticky stars on this establishment, and move on…
