Always had excellent experiences here, but I wasn t ever motivated to leave a review until we came across a small issue. Almost didn t even bring it up, but when I did, Jesse was super nice about it and fixed it better than what it originally was. Will continue to come back here, and highly recommend it over other dining establishments.

If you like chewing on leather, then order the chicken strips. I ordered a 16 piece meal for the family and I. The only ones that got full was my 3 dogs! Chicken taste like it sit under a heat lamp for at least 12 hrs and I ordered it at 3 p.m. Thanks for ripping me off for nearly 50$

The reason for a one star on the food is cause I moved here from Taylor Texas and the chicken tenders there are a nice size. When I ordered chicken tenders here they are not the size they should be. Ive been to multiple Golden Chicks and I have never got any tenders that were this skimpy. It almost looks like they are cutting the tenders in half. Id rather make the drive to taylor to pick up food there cause at least there I know that well get full sized tenders and for the price that I have paid is ridiculous

This is the first Golden Chick Ive ever been to. Theyre sort of rare and I only remember my mom going to one occasionally off of 183. My fiance and I were curious so we decided to give it a try. She loves their corn nuggets. The food is compatible to a chicken express, but a lot more options. Their chicken is definitely juicier than Bushs. Overall a solid pick, but you always have to be prepared to feel greasy and not so great after eating this sort of food.

Large portions for the money. The chicken salad sandwich is my very favorite. My husband loves the dirty rice. The fried okra was served hot and fresh. And, you get a free ice cream cone that tops off the meal just right. Kid-friendliness: Kids meals of chicken tenders and great sides for picky kids.

We have eaten here for years and today was the worst and I was very disappointed. I asked for okra and dirty rice and it even said it on my receipt but my meals came with fries. I had already waited 13 minutes for my fish but by the time I got my sides, everything but the okra was cold.

Great Manager!! Jesse made sure to correct our order from the drive thru. Getting home with missing items is never a good experience. After calling the store and explaining what was missing or wrong. He asked if I would be coming to pick it up. I wasn t exactly enthusiastic about a drive back to the store during rush hour after work. Jesse made my order correct, and brought it to the house! This is AMAZING SERVICE!! 10/10!!

A surprising competitor to Raising Canes chicken strips, which are in a class by themselves. At Golden the chicken is as good, but the batter is more golden (obviously) and more of an extra crispy texture. The sauce is almost as good, the tomato horseradish dipping sauce both have. Also better chicken than KFC at the same price if you want a bucket.

I got there at 8 o clock the dining room closes at 9 pm The cashier had a hard time understanding English she had to get the manager to take my order(three piece roast combo with dirty rice and okra) she set my order on the counter, without notifying me, then called out the number of a to go order that was placed after me after that, she then proceeded to break down the drink station, so no one could use it the whole time, talking to her self in Spanish in a unpleasant tone of voice. I was the only one in the dining room. Which made me feel like I was a Inconvenience for her the dirty rice look like somebody chewed it up and spit it on my plate it was all mushy I have eaten lunch there and it s never look like that. it makes me wonder if they do short cuts like this in front of you. What do they do in the back? Where you can t see them? This is the second time I ve had this experience walking in at 8 o clock! DON T GO THERE ANYWHERE NEAR CLOSING THEY DO NOT APPRECIATE THEIR CUSTOMERS! I was out the door by 8:25PM!!!!

If youre a fan of fried chicken, Golden Chick in Leander is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you step through the door, the tantalizing aroma of freshly fried chicken fills the air, setting the stage for a truly delectable dining experience. The star of the show at Golden Chick is undoubtedly their fried chicken. Each piece is perfectly cooked to a golden crisp, boasting a delightful crunch with every bite. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, making it clear that they take pride in their preparation and cooking techniques. Whether you prefer dark meat or white meat, Golden Chick has got you covered with their generous portion sizes. One standout aspect of Golden Chick is their exceptional biscuits. These heavenly creations are light, fluffy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Theyre the perfect accompaniment to the already fantastic fried chicken. The biscuits are baked to perfection, and when paired with a dab of butter or a dollop of honey, they become downright irresistible. Another reason why Golden Chick stands out is the affordability of their offerings. With reasonable prices for the quality and quantity of food you receive, its hard to find a better value in town. You can enjoy a satisfying meal without breaking the bank, making it an excellent option for families and budget-conscious individuals. The restaurant itself is clean and inviting, with friendly staff members who are always ready to assist you with a smile. Whether you choose to dine in or take your meal to go, you can expect quick and efficient service.

My family has been to Golden Chick for the 4th time (both in Round Rock and Leander) since we tried it out 5 days ago. Best valued fried chicken hands down. We loved their wicked wings the most. Juicy, crispy and hot. The best we ve had in fried chicken chains. We had them 3 times in 4 days. Their chick salad is also very good. Tasted so good. This Leander location was quite generous on the salad portion, too. (Didn t try at RR location) 11/10.

Better than Raisin Canes, used to go there a lot till I tried Golden Chick again. Tenders are usually really big and freshly made, I get it with large Mashed Potatoes and Gravy. Their Catfish is also really good especially because they make it fresh when you order it which means you have to wait but it s worth it imo especially since Cherry Creek Catfish closed down because of Govt enforced covid lockdowns which forced a lot of businesses to permanently close. I wish they had biscuits again, sweet rolls are lame. Better than anywhere else in town for fried chicken, their bone in chicken is really good but I never get it unless there s a special.
