Hey, I’m never going to knock a good chicken place. Granted because of the abundance of chicken restaurants in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma… I’m also expecting a five star rating only for those that go above and beyond. Four stars is on my book a super decent reading and chicken express certainly rests as one of those places that satisfies both my craving and my sense of wonder. Who can stop from wondering what chicken taste like in a place where these logo mascot is a dead chicken carcass being flung across the matte red backdrop!!! Upon entering, there are a lot of options that I would normally see with your different tenders and strips and fillets, but hold your horses… They have an entire menu, selection for gizzards and livers!! I consider Arkansas and Oklahoma, still part of the south in general, and I used to live in Florida, which oddly is NOT considered the south, but the type of food you encounter down there is TrueSouth and I miss those old Florida gas stations in restaurants that serve gizzards. That’s what I had here, and I can say my gizzard tooth was satisfied, but not completely satiated. The breading was light and flash cooked and not seasoned hardly at all, but I still give them points for putting such a crowd-dividing item on the menu so proudly. I do not live in Tahlequah but I visit often and this place has kept me coming back because of its unique menu, item selection, and its great location by the bypass.

Ordered the #4 said leg and thigh for meat, got two legs, side was mashed potatoes and they gave me no spoon or spork to eat them with. Got an unsweet tea for a drink and didn’t get my drink at all. Didn’t think about it until I drove off. This is the third time since November that I have been here and third time my order has been wrong or messed up. The first time I didn’t say anything. The second time I ordered gizzards and got fish so I said something and the manager gave me a pie with the corrected order. This time… I’m out. You lost my business. Probably doesn’t matter to you but I’ve eaten Chicken Express starting in Texas for YEARS. Sad

Drive-thr was very fast as it was little to no wait at 2pm on a weekday. However it tasted like the food was under a heatlamp a few hours since lunch rush hour and the chicken strips were a dry and rubbery texture. The spicy chicken tenders were a tasty flavor, just make sure you go durring peak hours when the food is fresh. Oh i also asked for a biscuit and was given this sweet hamburger-bun thing so check your bag before you leave.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chicken Express Tahlequah, and I was very impressed with the food, service, and atmosphere. I ordered a chicken strip basket with mashed potatoes, green beans, and a roll. The chicken strips were juicy and flavorful, the mashed potatoes were creamy and smooth, the green beans were crisp and tender, and the roll was heavenly.

The service at Chicken Express Tahlequah was excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive, and she made sure that our drinks were always full. She also took the time to answer our questions about the menu and make recommendations.

The atmosphere at Chicken Express Tahlequah was clean and inviting. The restaurant was well-lit and decorated in a casual style. There was a large dining area, as well as a small patio area that was perfect for dining al fresco.

Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Chicken Express Tahlequah. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was inviting. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great chicken strip basket.

Here are some additional details about my experience:

The chicken strips were perfectly cooked, with a crispy exterior and a juicy interior. The mashed potatoes were creamy and smooth, with just the right amount of butter and milk. The green beans were crisp and tender, and they were seasoned perfectly. The roll was soft and fluffy, and it was the perfect size for dipping in the honey butter. Our server was friendly and attentive, and she made sure that our drinks were always full. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the atmosphere was inviting. I would definitely recommend Chicken Express Tahlequah to anyone looking for a great chicken strip basket. The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is inviting.

Special mention: The rolls

The rolls at Chicken Express Tahlequah are heavenly. They are soft and fluffy, and they are the perfect size for dipping in the honey butter. I could eat a dozen of them in one sitting!

If you are a fan of chicken strips, I highly recommend getting a basket with the rolls. They are the perfect accompaniment to the chicken, and they will make your meal even...

So I ate here twice

The first time it was pretty good. Got our food quickly through the drive thru we ordered the 25 piece chicken tender family meal to feed 4 and it fed us all. They gave us mashed potatoes with two big things of gravy and I loved that about it and I also ordered corn on the cob. The corn on the cob wasn’t great but it was edible. The only thing I didn’t care for was the chicken didn’t have enough flavor.

The second time I went I ordered the same thing except with okra. I literally was at the drive thru for over 30 minutes sitting at the drive thru window while the workers were just standing around. When we got there nobody was in the drive thru ahead of us so there was no excuse why it took that long to get our food. Next thing when we got our food we got a little tiny cup of gravy that didn’t even last the big container of mashed potatoes. This time I ordered the spicy tenders and my husband and i thing they don’t have enough flavor either. And my biscuits were so hard I couldn’t even eat them. I’m very disappointed and for the price they are Charlie’s chicken in tahlequah is way better and you get way more for the same price and the chicken tastes way better and actually has flavor. I will not be taking my business to chicken express again. Very...
