★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Tameika Oliver · Sep 2025

The chicken smelled like it was fresh out of fish grease, cabbage was ok, and the Mac n cheese 👎🏾.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Binh Nguyen · Mar 2025

Food: 2 piece dark meat with Mac and cheese, Mac salad, fries and corn bread 🍗 Comments: The chicken was tasty, but it was a bit more oily than normal for fried chicken. The Mac salad was a bit too sweet. The Mac and cheese were pretty good, just a bit bland. The fries were crunchy. It was very fast to get food after ordering. Everything was great price for the amount of food.

I have been eating at this establishment for as long as I can remember who I am 👶🏼 It’s a small building you might just overlook, but the flavor is unmatched 🍗 The chicken is seasoned and fried so expertly well that you would think they keep their secret recipe inside a vault 40 feet below the restaurant guarded by blindfolded ninjas 🥷 The one major, major L here are their biscuits :( I think they might be the worst biscuits I’ve ever had. They literally detract from the exquisite flavor of the chicken that’s how bland the biscuits are. Please support this business!

The Fried Chicken (duh!) Walt's Chicken is legitimately incredible fried chicken. The Lincoln Street location, Walt's Chicken Express, run by apprentice-turned-master Larry Fletcher, transcended even the original Walt's Flavor Crisp Chicken. After spending a decade learning from the original founder, Harry Sheppard, Larry opened his own Walt's on the West Side of Wilmington. And he took everything that made Walt's legendary, added his own Master Chef expertise, and elevated the chicken to an even higher plane of existence. You will NOT leave Walt's without already craving more of their fried chicken. It's THAT good. If you've had legitimately amazing fried chicken in Texas or Georgia, and can't tolerate the greasy rubber you always get served in the Northeast, take a sigh of a relief . W

Chicken was great and the banana pudding was fire. Definitely going back.
