Frequently asked questions about Chicken Express
Chicken Express Lockhart Reviews
1/2026 The consistency of good quality and delicious fried chicken/strips across multiple locations is a testament to this chain and it's franchise operations. I have visited locations across Texas and they have all been superb. There is intense competition in the fried chicken market and everyone has a favorite. The real win here is thinking outside the bun, and knowing that whichever store you visit, it's going to be fresh, crispy, golden, and delicious. Some of their competition features either multiple flavors of "dipping sauces", or just one (looking at you, Canes). CE has a delicious gravy, but their chicken is so good all by itself, seasoned to perfection, so you don't even need the sauce/gravy. If you venture elsewhere, try one of their chicken strips without any sauce. No really, I challenge you to do this. If the base product doesn't stand on its own, and provide a delicious refreshment, why are you buying it? Would you spend $50 on a steak that you can't even eat with out some sauce? At this point, you might as well save your money and just buy a case of sauce. Just spoon it in your mouth directly, because you're not really tasting the core product, you're just tasting the sauce. Don't believe me? Test yourself with the challenge - skip the sauce. If you don't savor the flavor of the core product, then you're really just going for the sauce. I know it's hard to believe, but try it, plain, just as it came out of the kitchen, the way the chef intended. And on the plus side, you'll save some calories you really never needed to enjoy this delicious meal.
Went by there with my cousin and the tenders are delicious 😋
Israel provided excellent customer service today. Great employee. Thank you
Am a frequent customer. Tea is excellent and always fresh, never sour. Excellent customer service. Elizabeth and her crew make a great team. The younger and newer employees are fast learners. Have not had a bad visit here, errors if any are made right.
Whoever was on the fryer tonight is amazing!! These were the best strips I've had in a while. Fresh the CRISP was immaculate
They forgot to make one of my orders. When I got home they forgot 2 sides and the ranch. They really didn’t care.
Got a 4 piece tender combo and 3 pieces of chicken were stuck together.
Soda was flat, didn't get my coleslaw that's clearly on the receipt. Apparently these people are more concerned about how much $$$ they make than actually taking their job serious! Chicken was fine but for the price you can get the same meal at KFC don't bother I have no idea how this place is even open 👎👎👎
I stopped into this location the other night and although their menu prices seemed higher than other Chicken Express locations I have visited, I went ahead and ordered the two piece with roll. I asked for both pieces to be breasts, especially since it was almost $8 for two just pieces of chicken. The young lady working the window was nice enough and seemed to be the only one working because the other workers were just standing around talking. I got my order and pulled into a parking lot nearby to eat my dinner. One of the pieces of chicken was decent enough and still hot, but the other piece was cold and very dry and super tough to chew! I can't believe they would serve chicken that has been sitting around for obviously quite awhile unless they were down to those two pieces and simply didn't care what they were giving to customers. I literally had to spit it out! I guess I should have read the other reviews before eating at this location. I feel ripped off, so I definitely won't be going to this location in the future!
Chicken not done. Watched people put food in without gloves. Won't be back.
Spicy chicken tenders were so burned and the regular tenders so salty it hurt my kids mouths ! Do not buy here. Seeing several reviews about the same thing
Hope that the Corporate Office gets this. Who owns this business? No one there will give me that information. I’d stay away from here. The employees don’t care thus they don’t care about their jobs or if this business succeeds. I could go on and on. Just definitely wish the company owner or whoever was available so that they would know what was going on with their business.
Eh, service was nice. That's as far as I'd go. Got home, everything was cold (other ff places the food stays at least warm), gave us fried okra instead of fries.
This is the second time we have stopped by on our way out of town. This is also the second time we have thrown most of the food out as it was disgusting. The people being the counter just look angry. I get it. You work fast food. However it's a job you choose. Be happy you have a job and smile once in a while. We ordered two chicken legs, and when we bit into them, they tasted like either the grease or the chicken were bad. They were disgusting. This is what you do. No matter if you are having a bad day or you hate your job, the customer should never see it. Plus, you are serving food. If I'm going through the drive-through, it may be 20 minutes before I get a chance to eat. It should be edible once I get to it. Take some pride in what you do, no matter what it is.
Bad food quality. Prices are too high 45 Dollars for 15 chicken strips and two sides.need customer service improvement. The restrooms were really bad, the bar restrooms were cleaner. I do recommend this place at this time.
Corn nuggets were absolutely disgusting, if you want corn nuggets go to golden chick. Actually to management and or the franchisee go order some there so you know what they are supposed to taste like. The macaroni tasted like it came out of a box and simply microwaved. Even the breading on the chicken tenders fell off like a good set of ribs… the only good part of my meal was the sweet tea and dinner roll…
I didn't have time on my route to go back and get something else so I decided to leave a review. Ordered my food and the staff was nice enough. I didn't check before I left because I eat at different chicken express locations all over from SA to Austin and it's always been a great experience. So imagine my disappointment when I check my food and find probably the brownest, dirtiest, SOGGY and scrawny chicken breasts I've ever seen. No crispy golden chicken here! Bad enought that it looked less than appetizing it was dried like uts been out awhile and tasted of old oil. Made it half way through one piece before I trashed it. Definitely won't be back to this location.
