"The first thing you’ll see when you pull up to this still-operational gas station is the 'Eat Like a King' black-and-white mural of Elvis Presley—a homage to the local legend who was born and raised near King Chicken Fillin’ Station in Tupelo, Mississippi. Executive chef Mitch McCamey bought the gas station when it was up for sale and opened the restaurant in March 2018. Both are located in the former Belden Cash Grocer building, which also houses the longest-running convenience store in Lee County, Mississippi (since 1944). Swing by for the southern fried chicken, smoked chicken, and burgers. On Saturday mornings, opt for the TCB brunch—it’s a nod to Elvis’s signature saying, 'taking care of business,' and includes options like chicken and waffles and loaded chicken biscuits." - Adrienne Jordan

A nice hidden gem with food that hits the spot! I walked over here from the loves truck stop & ordered the fish plate with potatoe salad & baked beans that satisfied my hunger. Staff was friendly, they take cash, credit & Apple Pay. They can take your order inside or from an outside walk up window. Saving this spot in my maps fasho!

Stopped by this little chicken restaurant on my way from Tupelo. I was in the mood for some soul food and found exactly that. I ordered the catfish plate which comes with two sides! Absolutely loved the potato salad. Catfish was fried perfectly. Perfect place to stop and grab some quick delicious food before hitting the road. Try the peach cobbler!

Stopped here today! Food was amazing! It took a while to get done but it was well worth the wait! There is a walk up window to order from outside or you can drive up in your car! Chicken was seasoned to perfection and the Mac and cheese and slaw taste like grandma’s…..on point! Traveling for work came across this tiny gem and I will definitely be back! Food taste like it was cooked with a lotta love! Family owned establishment from what I could tell and everyone was very nice!

This is a Black Owned Business and they have a variety of things on the menu. They were so nice and courteous! The food could have had a bit more seasoning but good for people with health issues. They get the order right for you if there is an issue. There is seating inside and it's a nice stop off the highway to grab and go or sit and eat. They were constantly filling orders and grilling, so the food had to be good. I will go there again because the customer service is so good and the portions are decent. If you eat in, they come to see if you are ok and if food is ok.

Our experience was elevated completely by the young lady working the window. We walked up to order, and realizing we were first timers, she gave us great suggestions and advice so that we got a good sampling of the menu. The fried chicken and grilled tenders were spot on! We all loved the baked beans and the potato wedges and slaw. The only thing that didn't wow us was the sauces. None of us loved any of them...not the ranch, white BBQ sauce or the chunky hot sauce. But if you are looking for friendly service and food that doesn't even need sauces, this is it!

The Bird dogs - Pics here on google of this item is what drew me to this stop in the first place. Took awhile to figure out the name. If you like chicken sammies, these are a winner. Fried chicken tenders, bacon, good sauce, house pickles on a bun. Get 2 or 4... The Bowl Salad with smoked chicken - I tried to get a cross section because this is hard to see what it is from the top. Know it's probably half chicken / half "salad" in ratio, dressed in sauce. So if you're thinking "light", this ain't it. If you're thinking tasty and no bun, dive in... Friendly service and the food is made to order. It didn't take long to get our order but if you're in a hurry, I saw many call ahead.

The smoked chicken, potato salad, and fried okra was easily the best plate I've had in years. Bbq sauce was just right and the people working there were lovely. I can't wait to go back.

"Can't judge a book by its cover." When driving by not exactly the place that you think to stop. An old gas station that has some of the best fried chicken you will ever eat. Have had the fried Chicken platters as well as chicken biscuits for breakfast, NEVER disappointed. Service is always great as the staff is always very polite. The rustic atmosphere along with the Elvis mural on the side of the building let you know you're in the right place. Check the hours before you go, closed this past Saturday and Sunday. So glad we stopped for lunch on Friday!

11 out of 10 every time, best service in town with the goods to back it up, I'll eat here every day just to experience the solid reliability they pack into their meals. portions or above average cost is below average, AND THERE AINT A CHART ON EARTH TO COMPARE THE FLAVOR!! no replacement for the flavor on earth. go ahead and get yourself a honey butter chicken biscuit with gravy and thank me later

We finally were able to stop here on our way through the area. It's a drive we make about 3 times a year and we always want to stop. Well we finally made it today and we will ALWAYS stop here in the future. The fried chicken is definitely "King-worthy!" And the Jo-Jo Potato Wedges were delicious. The Cole slaw is a unique vinegar base and fresh, crunchy and sweet. The Peach Cobbler could not have been better! My 6'8" hubs is a bit food-aggressive (lol) and as someone who loves to eat, he loves to cook even more. He's quite the home Chef and said everything was "FANTASTIC!" These nice ladies even told me how pretty I am. Such a nice compliment for a hard working nurse. If you want a home cooked meal made by folks who make you feel at home, THIS is the place!!

Love Kings Chicken! I love the grilled chicken yardbird sandwich, chicken tenders, fried catfish, backed beans and potato salad.

YUM!!! So gooooood! We got the grilled chicken, potato wedges, and slaw. Everything was absolutely delicious. To add to the experience, the staff was so friendly and welcoming. Everything you'd expect from the hospitality state. Go check them out!!

I have eaten here a few times for breakfast and it was really good so I decided to go for a lunch. Lawd have mercy. This place is amazing. Someone didnt just put their foot in the mac and cheese they put the whole leg in it. This is what Southern food should be. The unsweet tea was as dark as my Ex-Wife's soul but im a good way. Chicken was crunchy and juicy, slaw was solid, and the house made hot sauce would make baby Jesus shed a tear it was so good. If I had not been with my Wife I would have ran inside and kissed the cook on the mouth whether it was a Woman or a Man. Straight up homerun today. The wife had a Smoked chicken salad and it was amazing as well. The house made sweet pickles were a revelation. I may drive an hour and a half tomorrow for seconds.

The place has really gone downhill. I was charged way way way more than leading fast food places for less than 1/2 the amount. Everything tasted fine, but I couldn't get past the price I paid for 4 pcs of chicken.

It doesn't look like much by any means but if y'all haven't been, y'all are missing out! I 10/10 recommend!

The chicken was tasty - light flour seasoning and very moist and juicy. The pieces were undersized, however and the the sides were flavorless. They had several home made sauces to accompany, but I was not a fan of any of them. They also had a big rack of hot sauce options, but half the bottles were dried up and obviously just for show. Whoever voted this best chicken in the state are sadly mistaken. It's not even the best chicken in town. Connie's puts them to shame.

This place has great Chicken, the Best I have had in a long time, I just got chicken and peach cobbler both great. I am going to try everything they have, if they can do this well with fried chicken I got to try their Bar-B=Que.

Yelp
Nice folks, quick service. The baked beans were the most delicious thing I've had in a long time. Chicken was a tad dry is the only reason I don't rate them with five stars.

Probably one of the best places to get chicken in Tupelo. The grilled tenders are definitely my favorite in town. I like the honey bbq dipping sauce, which you can get for free on the counter. It comes with king sauce which is a mayonnaise base honey mustard best I can tell. It's not my favorite but it's pretty good. You can also get 3 different wing sauces and dry seasonings definitely try them all. I have also had the chicken salad it is very good. The sides are also good, however you might find them to be a little different from traditional sides. You can also get chip, candy, and even fresh fruit to go with your meal. I like to get 4 tenders and a banana, which is the perfect amount of food.

Excellent food. The Mitchwich is a good ole Mississippi masterpiece! The place is as it's called, an old filling station, and not fancy - Who cares! Do yourself a favor and take a quick jump off I22 and grab a bite to eat!

I really wanted to like this restaurant. I really did. Unfortunately, the great press was met with a less than stellar experience and mediocre food. I visited on a very busy Saturday and they appeared to be short-handed (three staff then later a fourth person came to help). The sides were nothing like the reviews I read and the chicken was only ok at best. Maybe I will try them again, but it may be awhile. Sigh.....

First time here. Great tenders, awesome sides, friendly staff. 2 thumbs up. Dont let the gas pumps out front this is way better than any other gas station food I've ever had and believe me I know gas station food I'm a long time truck driver. The food here is what we used to get before the big chain truckstops took over. This place is right off I-22 in Tupelo MS. Great place definitely reccomend it.

Found this restaurant on Yelp driving west on I-22. Right off the interstate, it does not look like much from the outside, but it was an excellent place to stop for lunch. I had the Smoked Chicken Salad Bowl and my husband had half a smoked chicken - the chicken is tender and juicy and the service was excellent. I highly recommend it!

We were trying to find somewhere unique on our way back to St. Louis from Gulf Shores and saw this place listed on yelp. So glad we did!! The owner and staff are so friendly and helpful. My son got the chicken tenders and then tasted my mac n cheese then got his own (he's a mac n cheese connoisseur so huge praise for theirs that he finished it all). I got the Birddog which is cut up chicken tenders with bacon, tomatoes, lettuce and cheese on a hot dog bun. A little bbq sauce and it was fantastic! My fiancé got chicken Doritos nachos which he loved! We will definitely be back every time we travel through!!

Jake P.

Best chicken in Mississippi!! Friendly staff and a huge selection of beer. Definitely worth the stop and it's great that it's right by the interstate. Will be back!

One of the best hidden gems in Tupelo. My favorite is steak night! I love their biscuits in the morning as well! Bacon or sausage, you can't go wrong. I have not tried their brunch but I need to soon! Heard it's awesome! The chicken is so so juicy, tender, moist, and such a good price! Glad we have a chicken joint like this in this area!

Homemade sides, sauces and tasty chicken! Great deck out back! Love the Saturday brunch and the mitchwitch sandwich! Local color!

All we can say is WOW! What a great Mitchwhich sandwich. After a week long trip this is what stands out as our favorite dish.

Stopped by for the first time since the new owners took over, and it didn't disappoint. I got the Mitchwich. It was overloaded with smoked shredded chicken, and full of flavor. I'll have to stop by again, and check out the other menu items.

Everyone who works there is smarter than their customers. Usually, employees have an attitude. Food is okay.

King Chicken has great fried chicken, nice employees, and good prices. But the sides are absolutely incredible. The potato salad is delicious to the point of being transformative and the baked beans are hands-down the best I've ever had.
