The Dirty Bird (comes with a side of fries)
This sandwich is absolutely the Best hot chicken sandwich one will ever eat! The chicken is spiced to perfection. The sauce pairs so well with the pimento cheese spread! Thank you King of the Coop!!

The King Mac (comes with a side of fries)
This sandwich was hands down the BEST chicken sandwich I've ever had. I've tried chicken sandwiches all over the south from Miami, Florida up to Washington D.C., and the quality/quantity from King of the Coop is unmatched. The tenders themselves are always served at a perfect temperature every time I visit as well as having just the right amount of crispiness with every bite. I've tried all levels of heat on the tenders and it's safe to say that you won't regret whichever option it is that you go with. The sandwich as a whole is simply the most satisfying meal that you will eat that day. As you take that first bite, you are met by the most perfect toasted bun followed by their delicious mac & cheese which beautifully coats the chicken tenders with King sauce, homemade pickles, and Mama's Slaw. Having said that, if you do not eat spicy foods then please be careful because that heat is something SERIOUS. But if you do happen to encounter having difficulties with the heat, all you have to do is dig into their top tier fries and make sure you stock up on King Sauce because it's just simply the sauce you didn't know you need.

My mouth is watering right now waiting for my tenders to arrive via Uber eats!!! This is my go to when I'm craving juicy chicken!! They are spicy!! You have been warned 😜
Nashville Hot (comes with a side of fries)
I heard about the place via IG, and I live in the heart of the Heights, and scolded my neighbors for not telling me about how AH-MAZING it was sooner. I stopped in one day got the Tenders with Fries Nashville hot, cause I like it " Que Pica" and the flavor is spicy just like I wanted it with amazing heat that doesn't overpower. Since going the first time I save my weekly cheat meal to go to King of the Coop. I get a tender meal with Cole Slaw, that tastes just like my mama's and I don't eat coleslaw from just anywhere. The king sauce is great so I always make sure I have extra. And I would buy a gallon of the pickles if I could, but then I wouldn't have any room in my fridge. Highly recommend to everyone who asks what my FAVE spot is in the heights to eat at.

Have to get it hungry or you will not finish it. Don't forget to add extra sauce. The Tenders are moist and crispy I live in New Tampa waiting for the new location to eat more.

This menu item had me at "pimento cheese"! Tenders as well as the fries are generously seasoned and fried! I like that you can order online and pickup is nice and efficient.

Amazing and exploring flavors in the Chicken sandwich !! The best in Tampa Bay !! We really enjoyed with the family and friends
Nashville Hot (comes with a side of fries)
Chicken was very juicy while crispy on the out side, bun was warm and very soft. And the cole slaw on the sandwich was very refreshing and went well with the spicy and hot chicken

I get the Tenders and I always go with the Biddy! They aren't kidding when they say it is a ton of flavor. Best fried chicken I have ever had!
The Hen (comes with a side of fries)
Amazing. Good flavor and quality chicken. The fries were also delicious.

I crave this literally every week. I am a nurse at TGH and my friend who is one of the neurosurgeons there talk about y'all all the time and text each other whenever we order 😂. Thank you guys for helping us through the madness of covid, and thanks for being so supportive of mask enforcing!
The Dirty Bird (comes with a side of fries)
I have had a few of their sandwiches and this is by far my favorite. It's hard to find actually spicy food for someone like me and they do it right while still having the not spicy option for my fiance. The sauce that comes on this one compliments the kick too.
Tenders (comes with a side of fries)
The best chicken ever! No one can compare! That sauce is soooo good! And you guys have kool-aid? Love it! Never disappoints!
The King Mac (comes with a side of fries)
Not even joking when I say its the best thing I've ever had, I completely recommend it!
Catfish (comes with a side of fries)
This was by far the best fried cat fish I have ever had! I immediately called my mom who is a huge catfish fan to tell her to order from King of the Coop, which she did : ) The catfish was perfectly fried with just the right amount of heat and the fries were delicious, they had that perfect crunch on the outside but soft and hot inside. And the pickles, OMG I could eat those every day as a snack, sweet and savory!
Tenders (comes with a side of fries)
Naked tenders were hot and fresh! Added a side of collard greens for some nutritional yum. Dining wasnt open but I'd love to come back and sit.
The Dirty Bird (comes with a side of fries)
I loved the dirty bird! the homemade pimiento cheese was not what I was expecting! It was so much better than I could imagine and helped balance the heat in a delicious way.
Tenders (comes with a side of fries)
3 delicious tenders, a load of seasoned fries and awesome bread! Even the pickles were so good! Huge portions, love it!
The King Mac (comes with a side of fries)
Absolutely delicious, massive! True Nashville heat, so many hushpuppies! Totally recommended
The Coop
Probably the beat looking and tasting food I have ever had, I go every once and awhile when in the area, but once the wesley chapel place opens up I will become one of your regulars!!!

I love this chicken!! Always cooked to perfection, I typically get the biddy tenders (because I have a baby mouth!), and they're juicy, breaded just the right amount, and seasoned to perfection! 🤤 Love love love it!
Nashville Hot (comes with a side of fries)
Absolutely best chicken I've had in Florida... the way the bread comes in with the chicken on top is art. truly amazing. The sauce is also SO GOOD. Will forever come here
The King Mac (comes with a side of fries)
Sooo good! We order from King of the Coop at least once a week. Probably saved our marriage for whenever I get hangry lol. I am obsessed with everything on the menu. Hands down best food in Tampa Bay.

BEST CHICKEN PLACE HANDS DOWN! I'll forever recommend King of the Coop, they have the best chicken you'll come across in Tampa. My boyfriend & I's favorite Friday date night 😍
Tenders (comes with a side of fries)
The Biddy Tenders are just the right amount of flavor with only a subtle touch of heat. The fries are always perfectly crispy and the pickles are so good that I sometimes order extra, despite always having leftovers.
Tenders (comes with a side of fries)
This place is UNREAL! Perfect amount of spice to the chicken, pickles and sauce are 👌🏻, fries are crispy and flavorful, and the staff couldn't be nicer.
COOP'S JUICE 16oz
Picture it... You are cruising down Florida ave when suddenly you realized you are parched. Suddenly you see the King of the Coop sign and you think MMMMM. That delicious chicken would be so good right now if not for your dry as heck mouth. Well, fear not! The king has Coop's juice and that is just what you need. There is literally no better way to quench your thirst.
Tenders (comes with a side of fries)
I have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally went yesterday 8/18. The BEST chicken tenders and fries! Large tenders and plenty of fries. Great flavor. Got hush puppies too. Really good! I am definitely making a habit of this place.
Catfish (comes with a side of fries)

Nashville Hot (comes with a side of fries)
Where do I start? From the presentation, to the last bite I was in heaven! Nashville hot done right... some heat without being oily and the slaw on top was a perfect match! The fries with the seasoning a perfect blend! I will be back and I'm telling all my friends too! Michele was a delight to chat with and can't wait for more of these "Coops" to start opening!
Nashville Hot (comes with a side of fries)
It is delicious! Hot enough to clear your sinuses and burn your tastebuds off for a week. But so worth it. It is also a LOT of food. We ended up not being able to finish it so we got two meals out of it.
The King Mac (comes with a side of fries)
King of the Coop is hands down the best chicken in Tampa. Seasoned with what I can only presume is food crack, it is cooked with perfection to be tender and juicy on the inside. Everyone at the establishment is so kind & warm. I may just live there for the foreseeable future.
Tenders (comes with a side of fries)
This place is amazing. Me and my fiance go once a week. Generous portions for a good price, and the food is just outstanding. We always get the tenders and they never disappoint - the nashville hot is just the right level of heat, and the fries are crispy and begging to be dunked in the sauce. Extra sauce, always. My fiance steals my pickles every time - I'm told they're amazing but I wouldn't know. If you're in the heights you should be a regular here, and if you're not it's well worth a trip.

If you love fried chicken, you have to go here! Best fried chicken in Tampa area! If you're familiar with Nashville hot chicken, this place will not disappoint your palate. They're very fast and friendly here. The chicken tenders are very generous in size and the flavor whether you get the Biddy (not as spicy, very mild) or the Coop's fury (spiciest) the seasoning is very flavorful. All of it is boneless. You can get baskets that come with tasty seasoned fries or a sandwich. All come with a sweet sauce that compliments the chicken much like a yum yum sauce called King's sauce and their homemade pickled pickles. It is not expensive at all. It is usually pretty busy so if you're taking it to go I would order ahead online. Also, every Friday you can add an extra chicken tender to a basket for only $1!!!

I have tried this tenders in every flavor and each one is terrific. The Nashville Hot is amazing and spice level is perfect. The fries are tasty and the King sauce is on point.

As an enormous fan of fried chicken, this is easily the best fried chicken I've ever had and I'm from the Caribbean. Almost big shout out to them for creating the Midway spice for the less spicy tolerable customers.
