Chicken Express has the best tenders! The staff is always friendly and generous. I always find a couple of bonus tenders in every order! This goes over the top in earning my loyalty. Chicken Express, you do things right! Keep up the great work.

I really enjoyed eating here the other day. I ordered the #6 hot wing combo, and everything was fresh and delicious. If I’m driving through for work again, I will definitely stop by this location in Gilmer, TX.

We have stopped her frequently on our way through Gilmer and always had a great experience! The staff is always friendly and attentive. Today, KK took our order and help configure our meals to save us the most money! She was amazing! I look forward to having her as a server again.

This is my review for the Gilmer Tx location. I went in on Halloween night originally was going to go through the drive thru but the line was out to the road and the dinning room only had a few people and since I was getting my order to go I just went in. Everything that could go wrong from there did from my order to my change after payment. But let me explain why I gave them 5 stars across the board is because of the way everything was handled and fixed. So starting with my order. The young man that took my order was so sweet and so flustered and so apologetic. He was very welcoming and asked “ for here or to go “ and I told him Togo . So as far as ordering and it being my fault some of it was wrong I told him I wanted the tender meal that was on the window ( 3 tenders mash potatoes and a drink for 5.99 ) well I didn’t realize that is the Tuesday special ( yes MY bad ) . I wanted fries instead of mashed potatoes, extra gravy but I didn’t realize it was 1.09 so I asked him to take it off ( he did ) I ordered an extra drink and he got that right. That’s where it went down hill. I handed him my 20.00 and he had to open change for the register ( no biggie I’ve worked register befor ) he was having a hard time opening the roll and the girl walked out with a plate calling my number and the order was somewhat wrong. He started apologizing. It was three strips with two gravy and one roll. So I told her it was sapose to be the special on the window with fries not potatoes and she told me that was a Tuesday special but said she would get with the manager to fix it. The young man again apologized as he handed me my change ( finally ) but it was two dollars short ( no biggie deal it’s fixable ) the manager came over to explain he was fixing my order ( again MY mistake and I don’t mind paying the difference ) as I was explaining to the young man of his mistake. The manager also fixed this and I could see the young man was really struggling and I told him to breathe it was fixable. And no at no time did I raise my voice or throw a tantrum. The manager was amazing and would not let me pay for MY mistakes but fixed the order and softly spoke to the young man in a calming way … In a world full of people yelling over the smallest thing whether they are in the wrong OR NOT just understand that mistakes happen and can be fixed easily. This may have been his first job and he may have been new on the register I don’t know but I do know kindness goes a long way. I hope that this young man is still there when I go back ( and yes I will be back ) and he takes my order again. I have had bad experiences at other Chicken expresses that I refuse to go back to. I live in Overton and we don’t have one but when I come to Gilmer I will be back…. Oh I didn’t get my extra roll…LOL… if you made it this far into my story then you are a rock star go visit this location they care about your experience…. I don’t get names and I’m sorry about that but thank you so much

We go here at least once a week. We always get the 3 piece dark special that comes with a drink for a very reasonable price. The chicken is always on point, meaning great. The only negative is that sometimes, which lately has been more often than we'd like, the pieces have been very small. We feel they should add another piece free of charge when that happens. If it keeps happening we will find somewhere else to go. It's not worth it if it's not filling. No matter how good it is.

We ordered a #2 seven piece tenders to split between us, with a side of okra & coleslaw. Everything was delicious! Including the okra. This location is only the 2nd we have found in this chain that the was not over cooked! We will be coming back.

I’ve had nothing but good experiences at this location. Nice and friendly staff. They run a special on Tuesdays for a 3 tender box with a side and drink for $5. That’s a huge help once a week when it comes to prices being so high on everything. It’s an affordable meal!

Best choice. Such a great menu. The service and management is so excited to see you. They go out of their way to make sure your dining experience is enjoyable. I'll be back soon. Thank you Chicken Express.

These folks never fail to impress me. During the aftermath of the recent storms, finding some food service is a bit of a challenge. The lines were long but moved at a very steady pace. I was informed at the speaker that there could be a delay due to the extreme circumstances. My wait was short, employees were super friendly, and my food was hot, and the order was perfect! Great job!

We tried the spicy chicken tenders, they were just a little hotter than Popeyes spicy chicken. They are not cheap but really good.

Cream corn is on the menu I ordered it they said they don't have it anymore. Then I got okra(it was cooked in old grease or recooked and was cold) everything else was fine. I still love chicken express

My overall experience is good. The chicken was fresh and the service was fast. The tenders are okay but expensive. The mac/cheese was soupy and not enough pasta to the cup. The tea is EXTRA SWEET. The tables were all dirty. Sad part the man brought our tray and placed it on a dirty table too. I moved our tray and used a wipe to clean our table. This location has no high chairs or booster seats so be prepared if you have kids. (Not kid friendly at all) The cashier was nice and patient since it was my first time.

Went to drive thru for Tuesday tender special. The tenders were great as always, however the biscuits were thin and very hard. Could not split them without crumbling. What happened to the thick soft biscuits they used to serve? These were horrible.

They have good chicken! We always enjoy the food. The only complaint we have is that the tables are always dirty and we have to ask someone to clean one for us. A few days ago, we asked a young man to clean a table for us and told him they were all dirty, but he only cleaned the one. Today, the same thing happened with a different worker. They really should check them regularly.

It’s good people at least in Gilmer, cause Longview nah, not only is the chicken super greasy or oily the folks there are rude to top it off

Went in just before 9pm since the place closed at 10pm and was told they didn't have any white meat because everything after 9 had to be made to order....as if that was supposed to be common knowledge. The inside of the restaurant had already put up all the chairs even though they still had an hour left. The girl at the front door try to offer my two pieces of dark meat to equal the price for the breast (and size), but was told by someone in the back she couldn't do that since other people were ordering in the drive through

Very inconvenient when ordering. For the past 4 years, any time I went here they always short my meal and sometimes not give me my food. Half the employees need to be fired and replaced.

The lady named summer that was working at the drive-through was extremely rude and unprofessional. We ordered $30 worth of food we had to ask for a bag we had to ask for our silverware we asked for our sauces because we didn’t get a choice and then she started getting rowdy because we asked her if the other meal could get barbecue sauce she decided to say that no it doesn’t come with it and shut the drive-through door so we drove around to the front and my friend went inside. She was extremely disrespectful, screaming at her manager and also at a customer. This is not the type of Customer Service that y’all have in there she is a Horrible representation for your environment and when you’re spending 15+ dollars on a meal, we should be able to ask if we want sauce for our strips. We also got fried pickles and got no sauce for that too. Is that an up charge? The manager continued to let her scream over him as well he needs to grow a pair If you know what I mean

1 star for delicious food and another star for fast service. It would've been 5 stars if the person who took my order wasn't RUDE. She had an attitude and kept interrupting me when I was ordering! Decided to visit this location again and the guy who took my order was rude too. I give up. I'm not gonna let these rude teenagers stop me from eating here, but it would be nice if their customer service was addressed.

My food was cold , not even able to eat it , the corn on the cob didn’t even have butter on it and was cold , when we pulled up to the window it took 15 minutes for anyone to come to the window , the mashed potatoes was terrible, and the service sucked all the way around, when I ask if it was cold the manager at chicken Express shrugged an said IDK then gave me another breast just in case it was cold , he never checked the food
