Best fried chicken in Charlotte? It just might be Price's Chicken Coop

It’s not the best location. The building itself leaves a lot to be desired. Though there’s a large lot in the back, parking can still be a challenge.
It’s crowded nearly all of the time, with the lines waiting to order at the counter often 6-7 people deep. (and there’s 5-6 lines)
Most importantly there’s nowhere to sit. We mean that literally, nowhere. Price’s is take-out only. Take your box of goodies to your house, to your office, or eat it sitting on the bed of your pick-up like I did recently, just don’t plan on eating in the restaurant.

Call it soul food, southern food, comfort food or any other food, we’ll just call it southern fried goodness.

Price’s menu contains many items such as burgers, fried shrimp, fried shrimp and more. For us though, the reason to eat at this Charlotte staple is chicken, fried chicken, and it’s as good as it comes.
You’ll pay $6.25 for a quarter chicken (white meat) The all-white meat ½ chicken meal runs $8.75. You’ll receive cole-slaw, tater rounds, hush puppies and a roll with your meal. The service at Price’s is brisk and concise but friendly and your meal will be packaged in a carryout box with condiments and utensils.
