Price's Chicken Coop

Charlotte

$$$$

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Grab a wad of cash and head to Charlotte’s one-and-only fried chicken institution where not much has changed over 50 years. The chicken is deep-fried, hot and crispy — order by the quarter, half or whole chicken and go nuts with a slew of Southern-staple sides like gizzards, hush puppies, slaw and potato salad. White collar, blue collar, no collar — this place attracts people of all types who find solidarity in the possession of Price’s coveted grease-stained takeout box.
