Chicken King

I devoured this food entirely too quickly. It was yummy. It satisfied cravings. I was full after. Service was good. He place is small and I took to go. I'd definitely come back.

I should have read the other reviews in that the food takes a while, but it was worth the wait! I had the fish fillet with chicken thigh. The fish fillets were TO DIE FOR. Flaky, crunchy, cooked to perfection with a savory blend of seasoning that was just right. I had the fried chicken after and compared to the fish, it could have used a bit more seasoning. But it was also cooked for perfection. The collard greens was tasty. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Ambiance was ok - clean with plenty of open seating. I'll be back for more next time I'm in Fresno. Nice to find a decent soul food spot that speaks to my soul. Next time, I will have to call ahead or order online.

It's a small downtown spot, very clean and everyone is polite. The menu's are very helpful and do is the staff! I ordered the #1 and the Mac and cheese is so cheesy and d'lish!!! The food is such a good touch to the soul. The price is reasonable! I'd eat there everyday if I could! I definitely recommend..

Had the Spicy Jumbo Chicken tenders I had the 3 piece but I ate one lol I should of got the 2 piece didn't realize how big they were. I love how everything is home made. Way better than chicken shack in my opinion You should try it also got the creamy Mac N cheese it was on point!

The owner Helen Coole at this establishment is super kind and sweet. She opened up early for myself and my coworkers on our lunch break. The bbq ribs were amazing! They make everything from scratch mixed with love! Coleslaw was fresh and the creamy Mac n cheese was so delicious and cheesy. Tucked away downtown Fresno. Perfect for lunch and catering all your events!! Go check them out!!

ALL HAIL THE CHICKEN KING! Arguably some of the finest fried chicken in Downtown Fresno and the reigning monarch of traditional, American fried chicken shops to all its loyal patrons. The reason is obvious. It all starts with their fried chicken, which is perfectly prepared. The chicken is brined in traditional, Southern-style buttermilk. It has an unbelievably crispy crust, is seasoned just right, and the meat is so juicy. Each batch of battered chicken goes into the deep fryer at the time of the order, is set on a timer, and is closely monitored. This virtually guarantees the fried chicken is not overcooked and dry. Conversely, there is no soggy and excessively oily skin. Each bite into one gives you that ideal crunch and is oozing with flavors and juices from the meat.The sweet potato pie here is pretty amazing as well. It is naturally sweet and rich, subtly spiced and the pie crust is flaky and buttery. I am definitely ordering it again.Their signature sides include collard greens, creamy mac n' cheese, red beans and rice, BBQ baked beans, potato salad, and coleslaw. Other dishes on the menu include fried prawns, fish fillet (basa), beef tri-tip, hotlinks, and a rack of pork spareribs. In addition to sweet potato pie, other desserts include whiskey bread pudding, banana pudding, and peach cobbler.Dishes can be ordered a la cart, as a combo (with a side dish and drink), or as a sandwich. The combos are a good value. A two-piece (leg and thigh) combo, for example, is $10.45 plus tax.I also enjoyed the seafood combo (including fish and prawns) and all the sides I have tried. Nothing, however, can really compare to the taste and quality of their fried chicken.There are a number of worthy local challengers to the throne but, for the moment, I would agree that the Chicken King definitely lives up to its name. So reign on and take your rightful position as the preeminent maker of fried chicken!

The first bite was a revelation - the outer coating was impossibly crunchy and well-seasoned, while the chicken inside remained tender and juicy. The blend of spices created a harmonious symphony of flavors that danced on my taste buds.

Honestly the best fried chicken in the Valley. The favor and juiciness of the fried chicken will have you feeling like you're in the south. And don't forget the potato salad!Helen and the staff are also the best to see!Support local!

Chicken king is a must eat. You could tell the food was cooked with love hot seasoned and fresh. There's a lot of other places surrounded Chicken king but quality of customer service will have me coming back, was a exceptional experience and really felt like a home cooked meal also the restaurant is clean.
