I've finally made it!!! From the outside the place looks generic. Man was I wrong!! I got the 2 piece fish (haddock) meal, with mac n cheese and collards. For dessert I got sweet potato pie. What???? View all feedback.
What Dawanda Mayes Garcia (Deedee) dislikes about Chick E D's:
I was quite disappointed with my experience at the restaurant. I ordered a wing ding meal with fries, and while the wings were okay, the fries were soggy—my child didn't even want to touch them! I also tried the 2-piece fish and shrimp meal with fries, and it was far from good. There was no seasoning at all, just an overwhelming amount of batter. The fish was mushy, too. Looking back, we probably should have opted fo... View all feedback.

Not fast food. Yup, you pay when ordering and there are places to sit. You will wait 20 minutes to get the food. The chicken was good but the sandwich overall was just ok. The other problem is the prices are wrong. You would expect a monitor board would beupdated but I was charged 8% over advertised. For 1 sandwich it's not too bad but 8% for a family of 4 could add up. I just feltcheated. This was my first time and will definitely have to ponder a return.
I could rave about this place for hours! In fact, I was a bit disappointed to learn that there aren’t more locations. I wish more people could enjoy this experience. The food, especially the chicken, is some of the best restaurant fare I've ever tasted. Some of the reviews about wait times baffle me. Would you really complain if a home-cooked meal took longer than 10 minutes? This isn’t fast food; it’s high-quality cuisine. I genuinely hope this place stays open forever!

Looking back, we probably should have opted for the fried chicken instead, but now I really don't feel like returning. What a waste of $31!
I ordered the shrimp and fish dish, and I was quite disappointed. Everything was over-fried, and the fish seemed like it had been cooked from frozen. There was more batter than actual fish. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend it. As a truck driver, I've had much better fish at Petro truck stop restaurants.
Chick E D's is a true hidden gem, offering far more than just chicken. Their dinners are absolutely outstanding. The owner is exceptionally kind, and I strongly suggest ordering ahead since everything is made fresh from scratch. The quality and flavor make any wait well worth it.

My Favorite Location In Springfield, best chicken I’ve had in a long while. I’ll support this local business all the time. They don’t just cook they make good food with love.

My favorite spot for fried chicken in Western Massachusetts! No one compares! The food is always fresh and hot, and the service is excellent!
As soon as you walk in, the staff greets you with a smile and welcomes you warmly, asking for your order. The young man who assisted me was incredibly hardworking and respectful. The restaurant itself is very clean, which is a big plus. Above all, their customer service stands out, and that’s why I’m a returning customer. I will definitely be coming back! The food is outstanding as well; they really know how to season it perfectly. I especially love the fish and chips dinner—huge pieces of fish that taste remarkably fresh. I can’t speak highly enough about this place. Thank you for all your hard work; this is a wonderful, dedicated family-run restaurant. God bless them!
I got salmon with Mac and cheese. My boyfriend got chicken Alfredo. We also got some wing dings. The food was really good. I had a real hard time finding well season salmon that's not too dry and at Chick E D's that was not the case. The salmon was seasoned and was not dried out. It actually had flavor and taste good. I'll definitely go again.
I love this place. Food is always fresh and tasty. Inside it is kept clean and staff is

Food is very good quality always freshly made and hot. Takes some time to make it so best to call ahead.
Small local businesses with a big taste! I very much so enjoy this location for my fried chicken and fried fish fix .
I got the potato bowl. I was pretty pleased with the chicken. Might have to try more chicken from here later on, because it did have a good crispness and good flavor to it. As for the bowl itself, I thought it was fine? It could have used some more gravy, but I also didn't particularly love the gravy? But I feel like more gravy would have made things meld together better. It did feel kind of like separate components more than a bowl. That was all I got, so that's all I can base the review on. The people were nice and the place was clean.
Chick e Dee's, one of the best takeouts to eat but not until recently. Somebody new got a heavy hand with salt but definitely not the owner.
