Reviews for Charlie's Chicken in Joplin, MO
First time visitor. The man on front counter was so sweet and kind. He took my order and didn't rush me. He was great listening... and conversing. Thank you for the great visit . Read more
I went through Drive Thru around 6 o'clock tonight and the service was absolutely awful, the people at the window were extremely... rude. I asked for sweet and sour sauce and I recieved BBQ sauce, I then asked if I could have the sweet and sour sauce I askedfor and it was basically tossed at me and then I had the window slammed in my face. Would not recommend, atleast with the girlsthat I had to deal with tonight! ???? Read more
Well as usual the chicken was good always is. But in the dining room there was no condiments for anything no butter for my rolls... know salt and pepper nothing it's always such a young untrained staff there. Some of the side dishes can be questionable aboutthe freshness which you can actually see with your eyes when you go there but like I said the chickens always good so I wouldsuggest going but just don't get the gravy or too much of it it made my friend ill.

Upon visiting this afternoon, the young lady behind the counter knock plates onto the floor. I handed then back to her, she put... them back on the food bar to be used until I made a comment about it. Also on the negitive, the rolls were rock hard and theynever brought more as they said they would. Doesn't look like any adult leadership which is very much needed. Oh the possitive,the chicken chunks were great tasting and pretty fresh. The rice an broccoli casserole was terrific. The last time I was here,the drive through shorted us and forgot sauce, napkins and forks which she insisted were in the bag. All in all, there arebetter places to eat in joplin. Potentially, this place could be great but is lacking leadership and they need a major lesson inkeeping the kit hen cleaner and attention to detail on customer service needs an over haul. I might try again sometime but morethan likely just wash my hands of this place. Read more
If you love food try Charlie's out. If you don't try it you will hate yourself when you finally do. I know I did. I finally went... in and ate the CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN AND GRAVY. OMG. I was hooked. You can order the chicken fried chicken with gravy and aside for like 6.00. Or just the chicken for 4.00. Anyway you order or eat,it will be great. The meatloaf is always good too. Read more
Very good food, fair prices and some good deals. They had 1/2 price cold chicken when I visited. Got 2 orders. The manage... assisted us with the order. He was helpful and curtious. Will return again. Read more
Ordered here on 3 occasions and on all 3 occasions, the food was consistently mediocre. If you have never been to a Charlie's... Chicken, it is a cafeteria style restaurant. You go to the counter to order and the server spoons out your sides from acontainer. If you get a chance watch when they grab a scoop of the green beans. I went with a #2 combo, which is a 3 piecewith 2 sides. For my sides I got the mashed potatoes with gravy, and coleslaw. For my chicken, I was able to select 3 Thighs! This is why I love high school servers, they take care of you! Oh, I forgot to mention a sweet bread roll was also included. There wasn't one item in this combo that stood out. Everything was pretty bland. The coleslaw was crisp and did taste fresh,but the sauce was barely present. From what I could tell it wasn't a sweet sauce. The mashed potatoes were the same,consistency was fine, and gravy tasted like simple gravy mix, nothing exceptional. As for the roll, it was not edible as it waspretty firm. I took a small piece and did not touch the rest of the roll. The 3 thighs were crispy, and greasy. The seasoningon the breading was plain, nothing stood out. I like the facility, it seems fairly clean, but everything is just so-so. Hopeyou have a great experience and enjoy the pictures! Read more
For years when I worked on that end of town I I ate here all the time for lunch. It was always very good. It's close to home... cooking as you're going to get these days. I go there once every few months when I'm in the area. The last time I was there wasthe only time I was dissatisfied. Went down and bought about 80 bucks worth of chicken and sides and they forgot our rolls, oursilverware and one of the sides. Not a world ending event, but a good reminder to always check the bag before you drive 15miles back home. With that being said, there is really nowhere else, in my opinion, in Joplin, to get good fried chicken. Oneof the other things that I really like is that they have gizzards and livers. The only problem with those is they should sell abucket of them just for me! I really like their gizzards. The sides are good, broasted potato wedges, it's all very good. I justdon't know of any place else around here unless you want to drive to Pittsburgh, that you could get these kind of dishes. Keepgizzards on the menu and I'll keep coming back! Read more
