Chicken Annie's

While working In Pittsburg with the local first responder community, a couple of the local responders suggested this chicken place north of Pittsburg. Well we were finally able to try one of them out and chose Annie's vs Mary's and really glad we did. The service was awesome and the food was even better! Freshly cooked right out of the fryer, juicy meat with great taste! Loved the Germany Potato salad brought back a lot of memories. If you're in the Pittsburg KS are, definitely hit Chicken Annie's on the NORTH side of town off E 600th

Disappointed in not showing up for our class reunion! Won't even consider even if we are passing thru. #nobueno #noshow #cater

I have been eating at Chicken Annie's for over 50 years and was a big fan. I have moved away and have not been in the area for several years. I was coming back to town and had to have my fix. I have to say that it was not what I remember. The service was great and everyone was friendly but the chicken did not have the same flavor. The German coleslaw and potato salad did not have the same flavor either. Tasted like a lot of vinegar. I miss what I used to have and hope they correct this but I have to say several of the people we were with were not impresse

The "feud" over who's better Annie's or Mary's is alive with locals. But, I didn't see it. We tried this chicken once and both looked at each other and my husband said what I was thinking - Shake-n-Bake! So, nope. It's a no go for me and my husband, who knows fried chicken ( being raised in the south).Service was ok - they were busy. It's an older building and dated.

I have fond memories of eating here when I was a kid. It hasn't changed a bit. The service was great and the food delicious. I was a bit surprised by how small the legs and thighs were, but then maybe CA chickens take steroids!

Food was good, very crispy. Service was attentive. Cozy small rooms. Very family friendly.

We were passing through on way to Columbus for the hot air balloon glow. Food was excellent and our server Grace was excellent as well.

I may get pummeled with wet noodles for saying so, but I was not a fan of Chicken Annie's. I mean, it was fine, but the hype is wayyyy bigger than the reality. I can see how locals really enjoy this place, though - it's an iconic landmark in the city, been around for like 80 years. There's something to be said for longevity like that.But the food, for me, was just meh. I had the fried chicken and the crust was very hard to chew. It was flavorful, but you couldn't bite into it easily. I don't know what it was about it, but I've definitely had better breading.The mashed potatoes were good - it's hard to mess up mashed potatoes, plus they are one of my favorite foods. Green beans were okay - could've had more bacon flavor. The German coleslaw was good but the German potato salad was like leftover mashed potatoes mixed with vinegar. I dunno, it just lacked something.The fried mushrooms were good. The dipping sauce it came with was interesting. Was it balsamic BBQ? Who the heck knows! Hard to decipher, but we ate it anyway. We enjoyed the onion rings as well - except they were chopped pieces, not rings. But good flavor.I had a strawberry daiquiri and it was NOT good. Just very tasteless, like it was mixed with water.Now, I'm not one to give up. I feel like maybe we ordered wrong (although, they are known for their fried chicken, so ...) I would like to try their chicken fried steak - it's one of my favorite comfort foods.Overall, not a terrible place but definitely not on par with my expectations. Super old school, which can be good in some ways, but it didn't work for me. Building was HUGE and seats a lot of people. Server was friendly, service was quick. We'll go back again some day.

We've been driving between KC and Bentonville for 30 years. We planned a midweek trip, rather than our typical bank holiday return, just to hit Chicken Annie's. Annie's is the slightly thinner breading. We arrived at exactly 4 pm to make sure we hit the dinner service. I am a traditionalist and went with the legs and thighs. At 4, the service is over the top excellent. The waitress was saying her grand parents still eat here every Sunday. This is the pinnacle of friendly, small town. The fireplace, string lights and electrical insulators make for a simple and inviting dining room. It is worth the 4 miles off the beaten path. If you ask me Annie or Mary, I choose Annie today, but we'll do the other on the next trip.

There food is really good I love there onion rings and mashed potatoes the slaw isn't to good in my opinion and the children, spaghetti, potatoes and gravy and onion rings reheat good there children where I am in kansas is getting smaller.
