Reviews for Golden Chick in McAllen, TX
Man do I break my diet rules when I eat Golden Chicken. They have the crispiest chicken around here, and it's always juicy and... tender. I think they marinate it in buttermilk. They give out Texas Pete hot sauce if you ask, and these packets of dry rub youcan sprinkle on,Real Good Stuff!! We used the coupon that's on the back of the H.E.B receipt for an eigh piecet for 9.99 saved acouple of bucks. Well worth it, plus you can get It roasted half fried if you want, and they have plenty of sides to choosefrom. Read more
It could not have been better. There was a special event for our group and we decided to order the main course, fried chicken... from Golden Chick. The employees couldn't have been nicer, even when we needed to increase the order the morning of the event.All the members who attended asked about the chicken as it is great, delicious, not too spicy. I am sure there will be newcustomers after our event. It has to be the best fried chicken from a fast food restaurant. A great experience and great food.Highly recommended!!!! Read more
First visit. The fish was great. They don't make it until you order but the wait is well worth it.
Picked up a family meal to stop and eat with my grandchildren, they forgot to add napkins and forks for the sides. Manager was... very nice but he didn't realize that I drove from La Feria Tx all the way over there just to get home and eat cold chicken androlls, because of their carelessness. Read more

Golden Chick is one of my favorite places to get golden chicken tenders. Their restaurant is always remarkably clean, their... employees are very helpful and friendly, and their chicken and sides are always cooked to perfection and is always very tastytoo. Read more
What is the rule for SPICY chicken? Asking, cuz I had church's yesterday and you can SEE the spice beneath the crust. I ordered... strips from GC and it appears ANY strips can become SPICY. Just powder the hell out of it with either paprika/ cayenne or both!The strips taste GOOD, but their method of adding heat can be unpalatable. Dry powder in the back of your throat not good.

I love Golden chick, the food is excellent, it never disappoints however my last experience is worthy of a review to write... about. My wife and kids and I arrived at this location at 10:37pm as you can see on the receipt. Our order took very long. Granted, I understood that they probably didn't have enough tenders for my order, but we waited patiently. My order came out at10:50pm but it was all bagged to go. My wife asked for plates and they said they couldn't give it to us because the diner wasclosed. We were never told this when we arrived. This location has an outdoor eating area and asked the manager, a lady withdark frame glasses and tattooed arms if my family and I could eat outside and we would make sure not to leave a mess. Themanager was not very empathetic and was very blunt saying that we could but once the crew was done cleaning, we would have toleave, that we couldn't stay due to the alarm. (Even though the outside area doesn't seem to have anything that might triggeran alarm.) Other dining locations always have the courtesy of letting you eat as long as you go in within diner hours. Uppermanagement should add what time their diner is closed, or something that says only to go after such and such time, maybesaying diner closed at 10:30 pm so that way only drive thru is open. This occasion was a course one of those where they didn'twant to deal with the customer because manager in duty wanted to leave early. I will be sharing this experience with othercivil servants that I work with that come to this location so that they don't have to end up eating their order in the car, which is what the cashier suggested. Note: I live far away so if I would take it home we would've end up eating cold food. Read more
