Golden Chick
4.6 (25)restaurant
A Texas-born fast-food chain serving hand-battered tenders, roast chicken, and classic southern sides.
Description






Started in San Marcos in the late 1960s under the name Golden Fried Chicken, the chain developed around secret marination and batter mixes created by a former chicken franchise employee. A 1990s revamp introduced updated restaurant styling and the modern Golden Chick identity, broadening the traditional fried lineup to include Golden Roast and salads across a regional footprint spanning more than 150 locations.
