Gold Rush Chicken

Went to Gold Rush for the 1st time on the way home from work today. The chicken is done very simply, ( Salt, pepper and flour) but cooked to absolute PERFECTION! I have never had fried chicken this good in my life! I will become a regular here after the first bite. The food was cooked fresh to order, which was really nice to see how high their standards are here. The restaurant is completely spotless as well. I was beyond impressed with the food quality, professionalism, cleanliness, and the overall experience. 10 Stars!

This is a classic restaurant that has been around for countless years. They have excellent customer service, great delivery, great food, and a good menu variety. Their buckets of chicken are the best in town and you will enjoy their pizza a great deal also.

I have been going to Gold Rush since 1981. They used to live fairly close to this place but I have long since moved 25 minutes away. I still drive to gold Rush whenever I'm in the mood for fried chicken. It is consistent, it is friendly, it is fresh, and it is delicious. The menu is extremely extensive, including shrimp, lobster, pizza, assorted sides, and lots and lots of combinations of order sizes.The chicken is always hot, crisp, and extremely tasty. it's lean towards the savory side, but as always properly cooked, meaty, and juicy. The french fries, a generous portion of which comes with the orders, are among some of the best in Milwaukee.If you were looking for a perfect "I don't feel like cooking tonight" purveyor of generous portions of a large variety of choices that will please everybody at a reasonable price, this is certainly the place. They've been around a very long time, and very deservedly. I ranked it five stars primarily because because the food never disappoints; the service never disappoints; and just for the general longevity and consistency of a fine Milwaukee food establishment (institution).

Great fried chicken. Crispy and juicy. Friendly service. Have it 4 stars because I wish it had a bit more seasoning to it. But overall it's a great chicken place. Would definitely come again.

If you are looking for health food, do not order from here. This is fried food. And it's damn good. The word chicken is in the name and that's what we get about 99% of the time. I don't think I have ever had cold or poorly cooked food here. I cannot say the same for the two national chains in town. I usually just order the chicken dinner. The chicken dinner comes with a chicken breast a chicken leg a thigh and a wing. You also get crispy french fries and coleslaw. They used to give you ice cream but they discontinued that during the pandemic. I don't know why. But I am assuming supply chain problems. The staff at Gold Rush is pleasant and the food is made to order. Always hot and tasty. The Cole slaw is even pretty good. That's something I normally wouldn't order but since it comes with the dinner I tried it and like it. Each chicken dinner comes with a coupon stapled to the top. If you collect 12 coupons you get a free dinner. And trust me, you will like the chicken from here so much that you will eventually get that free chicken dinner. I highly recommend.

Hands down one of the best local chicken restaurants in milwaukee! I ordered pick up and the owner of the shop was very welcoming! I have to say that the chicken and the fries were by far better than anything I have ever had in a very long time! I if you order from here you will not be disappointed! Give Gold rush chicken a try!

Great place. Food was hot and fresh, chicken was not overly battered, sides were generous, and the workers were polite and patient despite the fact that the place was very busy. Glad I found this place - it will be my go-to for take out fried chicken.

Once again my husband and I ordered the jumbo shrimp family pack. The shrimp were extremely fresh, extremely hot, and super crunchy. We also ordered the onion rings. They were also super delicious. The driver was very courteous as well as the owner who took my order. We love ordering from them. 10 STARS!! **********

Going old school and a trip down memory lane for the guy who wants fried chicken. Always used this place for many events at St. Paul Catholic Church and satisfied the numerous eaters. We hadn't tried them for a long time as one who attempts to eat healthy Time to break with tradition and order a 4 piece chicken dinner and 4 piece tenders along with a side of onion rings. Plus I needed a reward for all my efforts and walking so a turtle sundae Fresh hot ready in 20 minutes when I called at 3:30 PM and was finger licking good. Onion rings were crispy and delicious. Chicken tenders with fries more than enough with excellent honey mustard sauce. Chicken dinner was devoured with one piece for later.Happy to support local who still turn out a quality meal and a reasonable price. Oh and the sundae was scrumptious. Only the Cole slaw was not a favorite as I have had better.Staff was customer service oriented, positive attitudes and welcoming.

Pizza was ok. Fries were greasy. Chicken was very dry, without a drop of juice! Very disappointing.
