Friendly staff. The food is made fresh, chicken box is their hit menu item. Salt, Pepper, and ketchup all over chicken box hits everytime. Their cheesesteaks are decent but would be alot better if they had a better sub roll. Sometimes they are really busy and recommend calling in. Its in the hood and sometimes too many people hanging out in front of the store and in front of Bryan's Chicken spot two doors down.

Royal Carryout is always busy. Order-taker is very courteous, efficient and accommodating. Hold on to the numbered ticket for your order as it is needed to release your order. All staff are very congenial. The store is clean. Menu has wide selection. There seems to be much hype about the special sauce. Many people asked for the special sauce for their orders.

Royal carry out is an Edmondson Village staple. I was excited to get a staple from my childhood. I recently ordered a chicken cheesesteak combo with a half and half. The cheesesteak was good. I could tell the toppings were fresh, it was hot, and the bread was good. The fries were very hot and the half and half was on point. In my opinion a little high in terms of price but was worth it considering the lack of options from surrounding carryouts.

I have been coming here since I was a kid. Truly a staple in the community. The food has always been consistent. The chicken box is a classic. Their cheesesteak is good also. The half n half is way too sweet though. But I love this carry out. Nostalgic for sure. And they will not make your food until you show up (assuming they have experienced many people not picking up orders).

I ordered wings. They were hard and nasty. The wings tasted like they were fried in old grease. My stomach has been upset all evening after eating it. I didn’t finish my food. The staff is very rude. Their customer service is horrible.

Good quality is definitely downhill.. I just spent money on uber eats just for them to send me some crazy looking chicken box with all these different sauces that I didn’t ask for!

Chicken box was okay... It was cooked in fish grease... So it wasn't even close to play because I wanted my chicken to taste like chicken. Not fish!

New owners are not always a good thing. Decided to give the new owners a try when i noticed different people working. I had a cheeseburger sub as well and that was mediocre. The quality of the food is just not the same anymore.

Their Sukiyaki Sub is almost worth the craziness in the daytime. The service isn't too bad either, if you are rude to them, they WILL BE rude to you. Always one of my stops when I go back home. Very tasty menu, great portions and to me, friendly Korean people.

Great service. They are polite and kind. The food is always good. Most people think they have the best chicken box on the westside. I eat here everytime I'm in town for that good ole chicken box salt pepper ketchup. They never fail. The wings did seem a bit smaller but I don't like big wings always! They charge 7% for credit card payments and the signs on the wall say they charge for a to go bag.

Convenient quick and courteous! Not in the safest neck of the woods, but not the worse either. The location for this food establishment is one of those where you walk in, mind your business, get your food and leave out respectively. My son stated he wanted a real chicken box and that's what I gave him. I'm glad we chose this place, and I'd do it again! And of course, I found it on good old Yelp! Haha The owners here were very very nice to us, they take credit cards if you spend $6 or more and the food was delicious! We ordered four wings and fries and a beverage. Spent under $10! That's what I'm talking about! If in the area, stop pass! This establishment is in a shopping center with ample parking!

One of the best carryout spots for chicken boxes on the West side of town. Never disappoints. The half and half is also bomb!

Sadly my favorite chicken box place is no longer. Honestly it was the best place but also the worst for me but I enjoyed it none the less. If anyone knows anyplace close to the taste of this place send to me cause I need a new place in my life. America's BestWings is a sad replacement for this national monument. RIP

One of my favorite carry-outs in the West Baltimore area. I used to eat Chicken and their chicken boxes are pretty solid as long as they're fresh. Lately I only go for crabsticks and fries. They're imitation crabsticks battered to perfection and fried. 3 crabsticks, fries, and a medium half-and-half is $7.00. I'll always go back. The only reason I have 4 stars today is because I called ahead and still had to wait.

My Husband use to Love food from Royal's. One day he order a 6 wing and Fries Chicken box. When I got home and he open the chicken box the wings was literally the size of pigeon wings. When my husband called back to tell them that he was not satisfied with the size of the Wings they disrespectfully said "bring them back". When I took the wings back to the store they actually snatch the Box. Their attitudes was so nasty and disrespectful they refused to give us our money back so we had to get more wings which they cook so hard we could not eat them. That was the last time I visited that store. I will Never go there again.

I looked for the best chicken box and this came up so we went from NYC. The chicken is crispy and flavorful and get fries with " salt pepper ketchup". It was good but I dont see the big deal. For my NYC peoples ... this is literally fried chicken with fries.. Nothing special.

One of the best places to get an authentic chicken box close to the Gwynn Oak area....Chick N Trout and New York Fried Chicken type places just don't do it for a city native like me. I need my chicken box spots to have missing floor tiles, 80" thick glass, and corner store candy in the dessert case. This place more than delivers.

Ordered a chicken box. 8 wings and fries..only received 7 and wings were small but packed lots of flavor. Fries were good along with my drink which was half and half. Would go back but make sure I check my food first!

When me and my friend went to royals after school the lady would not let us order unless we was 18+ even though we told her we wasn't in school. So when one of my friends ordered ( she had to order for all of us ) the lady would not let us pay with our cards and sign our own receipts. The process to order took a very long time. When the food was done only the person who was 18 could touch the bags the lady would not let us get our food. When I received my food my cheese on my cheese steak wasn't melted at all as long with my other 2 friends. One of my friends crabsticks was even cold. I will not be going to this royals ever again I will continue to go to the one in Woodlawn.

Monday through Thursday open from 10 am to 10:45 pm. Friday through Saturday 10 am to 11:45 pm. Sometimes the wait time is long, but be patient the food is worth the wait. I love their chicken wings covered is mambo sauce (sweet and spicy) and their special sauce (sweeter than thousand island dressing minus the relish), cheesesteak (using slice ribeye beef) or shrimp sukiyaki (mixed veggies, cabbage and sweet soy sauce) with all the fix-ins (lettuce, tomato, mayo, fried onions, & hots) crabsticks and half & half (freshly brewed tea and lemonade). My new favorites are Chicken Cheesesteak with bacon, provolone, mayo, mustard, fried onions, lettuce and little hots, or chopped cheesefish (boneless whiting) or fried jumbo shrimp with western fries smothered in nacho cheese.

One of the best if not the best carryout on the westside. Call ahead or you may be waiting a while depending on what you order but other than no complaints.

The chicken is good but over time they have made their wings smaller. Always call ahead before going as parking is an issue and you may want to bring someone because of that. I have had their cheese steaks but I tend to stay away from them since I had gotten sick one time.

Great chicken, fries and half and half. Only bad thing is they cook chicken harder than I like it sometimes. Also they arent great at having your order ready if you pre ordered. Other that that the food is good.
