Chicken King - Opelousas

I gave Chicken King in Opelousas La a 5 star because the quality of the food is terrific! The taste of the food very tasty and always consistent, the employees are very courteous and friendly. This is one place that welcome its customers. Chicken King employees have never prepared and served me anything that they wouldn't eat themselves. Thanks You all. Job well done..

They have the best hamburgers around Opelousas and have been around, to by knowledge, since the 1940s (World War 2 era). It used to be a take out only place at the time when i was a kid and we used to buy hamburgers and chicken here back when I visited my grandmother (she died in January of 2009). I was visiting Lafayette and came down to Opelousas to eat here because I remember how delicious the food was. One thing I noticed is they added the dining room which is very nice and the food is still the best ever, exactly like it tasted when I was a kid and when my dad was a kid. No trip to Opelousas is complete without stopping and eating here. This is one of my favorite places along with Soileau’s. The service here is very friendly and the atmosphere with 1950s music is wonderful.

Omg, really good fresh fried chicken and rice dressing-everything is delicious here

Pleasant visit to the Chicken King. Very nice staff. Clean restaurant. As for the chicken, not sure if they are ready for “King” status yet. It just didn’t wow me. It was very crispy which I love but not much in the flavor department. Even the red beans were a disappointment, they had a funny taste. Not sure how to describe it but cafeteria comes to mind. Ok in a bind but nothing to write home to momma about. The sweet tea was on point though.

Look what chicken king is serving smh!!! Raw chicken. Uncooked chicken can kill you.
