Since 1962, Price’s Chicken Coop has built a diehard following of locals thanks to one thing – juicy, crispy fried chicken that has been marinated in a secret blend for over a day. Located in Charlotte’s trendy up & coming South End neighborhood, Price’s Chicken Coop looks the same today as it did 30 years ago.
A cash-only, take-out only restaurant with no tables, Price’s Chicken Coop is sometimes known for it’s Southern food with a hint of NYC attitude. When you step up to order, know what you want and have your money out. And whatever you do, put away your cell phone.
Price’s Chicken Coop is known for it’s fried chicken – especially the breasts, but there’s also a few other in-house favorites, such as hushpuppies and sweet tea. And don’t forget to try to liver and gizzards. Served in iconic cardboard box, their food is all you’ve heard about and then some. It’ll take you back to days of grandma making fresh fried chicken for Sunday dinner.
Sure the lines are long, but trust me, it’s well worth the wait. Price’s Chicken Coop is located at 1614 Camden Road and is open Tuesdays – Saturdays from 10 am – 6 pm. You can check out their no-frills website here.
