I've lived in the Charlotte area since 1991 and I've always heard about Price's and how it is the greatest chicken you'll ever find. A colleague of mine from California was in town working and heard the rave about it so we decided to check it out since we were working just a few blocks away. Was not worth the... More

Ok, people here act like this place has the best Fried Chicken in the world, but the realty is that if you have a mother or Grandmother from the South who fried chicken at home...you've had better. Now their fried fish, might be something to right home to momma about. No seating there so be prepared to cover your seat... More

You can't beat this place for fried chicken. It doesn't look like much from the outside... or even from the inside. But if you want great fried chicken, this is definitely the place to go. It's a carryout place and if you are lucky you may be able to grab a parking place out front... otherwise go in back to... More

We arrived around 5:30, they close at 6:00. The chicken had been made up and sitting in a huge tray, not sure if there was a heat lamp, chicken was room temp. We ate five minutes later and it was not hot, I like HOT chicken!! How can you sell fried chicken with no mashed potatoes and gravy!! Will not... More

We looked at good places to pick up something to eat while we were back in the hotel. We rode the light rail down, which turned out to be convenient, picked up our food, and left. It was about 4:45 in the afternoon, and the restaurant is only open from 10-6 Monday through Saturday. The building was old and there... More

OMG, you must go here and get the fried chicken. You can't eat in, they only have counter service, but they are worth it. After it was featured in Bon Apetite Magazine a few years ago we went for the first time and the chicken is so fresh and delicious. The sides are limited and just average, it is all... More

There is no question this is the best fried chicken I have ever had! Crispy, flavorful and moist. We love to take a boxed lunch over to Freedom Park and make a picnic of it. This place has been around forever and is not to be missed. Bring cash - not open Sunday. No seating inside.

We've been making Prices our stop for fried chicken for Fried Chicken and Waffles on Christmas Eve for years. Most of the time they are open on Christmas Eve. We love it. Know what you want and bring cash. This is a must stop in Charlotte.

Based on trip advisor reviews, we went to this spot enroute to Florida from Toronto after picking our daughter up along the way at Charlotte airport. The location was in a really neat part of town and there was a little park a few doors downs with picnic tables and a variety of food trucks. We joined a few others... More
