Poppycox

Oof that was spicy! The chicken was perfectly crispy and the "hot" level burnt so good. Glad I ate it at home so I could drink a glass of milk. My lips are still burning and yet I would definitely get it again. The only odd thing I noticed while waiting for my food was someone else was offered a discount for being a first time customer but I wasn't offered or asked.

Insanely good food.Ordered the chicken tenders with Nashville Hot. The tenders were huge, and the Nashville Hot added excellent flavor. Ordered 2 sides of fries as well, and let's just say they were easily some of the best fries I have had this year. Top notch all around.

WOW, nuff, said!We were checking out Southern Range Brewing on a Friday night in early August and Poppycox had their food trailer in the parking lot serving up their Nashville Hot Chicken. Both my wife and I were a bit hungry and decided to check them out. We walked up to look at the menu and asked the couple in line if they had tried it before. They proceeded to tell us, "it is delicious!" and we chatted with them for a bit. Since the menu revolves around Nashville Fried Chicken, they told us more about the levels of heat at Poppycox. We told them that we both enjoy a bit of mild heat but nothing extreme. They suggested we try either mild or wimpy.We stood in line for several minutes while we waited for our turn. We decided to order the 3 Tendies (wimpy heat level), and the Daddy fries to share. When we placed our order, we asked some other questions about their business and learned they started out as a tent about two years ago and made enough money to purchase the trailer. Their home base is Charlotte, and they provide their schedule via Instagram and Facebook @poppycoxcltWhen our number was called, my wife picked up our food and brought it to our table. I opened it up and as usual, my phone ate first. We were very impressed!As we began to eat the huge chicken tenders, we were impressed with the crunch on the outside and how juicy the chicken was inside. The seasoning (wimpy heat level) was just right for us. It had a lot of flavor with a hint of sweetness and minimal heat. This chicken is amazing! The fries were equally as tasty, they were seasoned and cooked perfectly. Paired with the dipping sauce and ranch dressing provided we were in hot chicken heaven. We really wish Poppycox was in our local area, but at the same time we are not that far from Charlotte. We plan to follow them in the future so we can stop in when visiting the area. Highly recommend and we wish them all the very best as they continue to grow their business.

Amazing! This food truck serves the best hot chicken in all of Charlotte.We opted for the fries with mild spice and the chicken sandwich with medium spice level. The seasoning was on point, a perfect balance of sweetness, saltiness, and just the right amount of heat. The medium spice level provided a delightful kick without overwhelming the flavor. Needless to say, we enjoyed every last bite.I am already looking forward to their return to our area. My calendar is marked!

A friend of mine told me this is the best chicken sandwich in Charlotte, so I had to track them down to try it. My husband and I found them at Petty Thieves. My husband and I got one mild sandwich and one medium sandwich. I like spice, but the mild had enough of it for me (there are 3 levels less spicy than mild). My friend was right. This is definitely one of the best chicken sandwiches in Charlotte. Their fries are delicious too. They're seasoned perfectly. If you haven't tried it, track them down and try them ASAP!

If you told me the best Nashville Hot Chicken in Charlotte would come from a food truck, I wouldn't have believed it - until I tasted it! Everything about Poppycox was fantastic. They were at the Rock Hill Friday Food Truck event and it was the truck that stood out the most of what I wanted to try and I'm so glad I did. First off, when I approached the truck, all 3 people inside interacted with me. I asked for the 3 Tendies Supa Hot and an order of Daddy Fries. Now I almost always try the second spice level when trying a new place but the staff made a great analogy to the Supa Hot level and said it was like the One Chip Challenge heat. So I went with just the hot. Great recommendation by the staff!The value of this meal was off the charts. It was $18 for the tenders and fries, but each tender was plump, juicy and massive. They each came with a pickle on top and a slice of bread was underneath. The portion of fries was very good too. I almost always finish my meal, but I left a tender and some fries to eat the next day. The box felt like it weighed a couple of pounds. The taste was excellent. You didn't just get a flame-thrower to the mouth, even though it had very good heat, it also had a very good spice flavor. Just a really tasty meal. Honestly, I think the Supa Hot would have been too much and that's something you never know until you try a place and another reason I really liked that they explained the heat levels well when I ordered. At Helen's, I order the hottest level. At Dave's, I get the second level down, and at Rocky's in Greenville, I get the second level down. They offered to make one of the tenders at Supa Hot so I may try that next time but the Hot was one of the best balances I've had on heat and taste. It was a pleasant evening out listening to music and having good food, and when a food truck can deliver excellent food and service at a good value, they will have me checking their schedule to see where they will be for a future day. I have to take me son as we've tried all of the hot chicken places around Charlotte

We have loved poppycox since we found them at festival in the park operating out of a tent set up! Amazing hot chicken. best i've had. The medium is plenty hot for my fiancé who loves spice. The owners are so nice and hospitable and they always handle their crazy crowds amazingly. I personally got a wimpy because I've been pregnant and i just love the flavor without a ton of spice. Highly recommend the sandwhich tenders and fries equally

Crazy daddy fries sooooo delicious! They were fresh with just the right amount of heat. Definitely makes a meal

Amazing chicken sandwiches! A little pricey since there is nothing including with the sandwich (at $15 each), no coleslaw or chips. A little tough to track them down since it's a truck.

I'm a large fellow who is no stranger to chicken sandwiches. I take my food seriously. I have no reservation is saying that Poppycox has the absolute BEST chicken sandwich I have ever had.The breast was HUGE. It was easily twice the size of the bun. It was perfectly crispy yet juicy on the inside. The sauce was the perfect blend of taste and heat balanced out by the creamy slaw.The fries are dang good too! The portion was generous, the fries were crispy, and the seasoning on them was magic.Fat Guy Approved!
