Todd’s Golden Fried Chicken

Easily the best chicken and fish place in McDowell County. The mashed potatoes and gravy is the best I have eaten at a restaurant. The green beans are classic southern cooked and excellent. The chicken tenders are just that, tender inside with a nice crispy crust, a cut above any chain restaurant .The only negative I have is that the delicious biscuits are on the small side.

After reading the good reviews we decided to try it.
I got the 3 piece dark meal with mashed potatoes and gravy and fried okra. Got a couple extra sides to try. Mac n cheese and potato wedges. The chicken was good, I wouldn’t say it was the best I’ve ever had but it was good enough to come back. The potato wedges were really good. I didn’t really care for the Mac n cheese. I liked the mashed potatoes but the gravy was like a peppered gravy like you would get on a gravy biscuit. I liked it just was better on a biscuit instead of over potatoes. The fried okra was good. The tea was good, not really sweet like I’m use too. I think next time we come, I’m going to stick with just chicken and potato wedges.
I would defiantly recommend this place.
I’m a self proclaimed foodie so don’t think I’m knocking this place but it’s not the best I’ve ever had like some of the other reviews that was posted. I’ll try it again soon as we have a place at Lake James. Peace out!

i have eaten chicken prepared in every way it can be cooked in probably 20 different Countries. There is no better fried chicken in America than Todd’s. The outside is crunchy, light and non greasy. The interior is fresh and clean. This chicken is so crunchy it passes the refrigerator test after two days. It’s as good cold as hot.
Worth driving from Asheville for! An American Classic!

This is the best mashed potatoes and white gravy in North Carolina. Better than Grandmas…

I do not like fried chicken. I love Todd’s Golden Fried Chicken. Very unsuspecting place — the kind that blends in with the environment/​boulevard. I ordered the one piece breast meal. My mouth could not believe how happy it was. Thin and crunchy on the outside — juicy, tender and flavorful inside. That piece of white meat never stood a chance. The chicken was definitely 5 stars. Some of the best fried chicken I have ever had, maybe even the best (as I search my memory banks and nothing comes to mind). The sides were just good/​okay. The mashed potatoes with white gravy and pinto beans were 3 stars. When you ask for a recommendation, they say «everything is good» and quite frankly I believe them. My total including tea was only $ 7.45.

Excellent place. I got the three-​piece plate with cole slaw. the chicken was crispy and juicy and the slaw is amazing. Everything is priced reasonably.

Fantastic place! Ate here twice recently and food was excellent both times. Highly recommend.

Meh. Everything is frozen. You might chip a tooth on the biscuits. Chicken tenders & corn nuggets are good. Got peanut butter brownie. dry & tasteless. Overall just meh.

Probably some of the best chicken tenders you will find in Marion. Friendly staff, and great food, at decent prices. What more could you ask for

This place was amazing! Amazing prices and huge portions! You need to eat here soon!

I have been a fan ever since i was a kid. The food is always good and consistent. A great alternative to a chain restaurant, and your supporting local business

My brother likes to call this place Old N’ Dried Chicken, but in all seriousness, it is a quality chicken joint that also serves fish and great other items. My family used to get large quantities of their tasty slaw and potato wedges for family events. Their chicken is also really good with their honey mustard sauces.
This place is also where I discovered corn nuggets. It was like the first time I heard The Beatles or kissed a girl. Awesome.
