Quick info
About Dairy King
Dairy King is a fast food restaurant in Birmingham, operating as a food van at 280 rear. The kitchen makes its chicken tenders fresh, so each order takes a little while to be ready. They are served with chips and a slice of Texan toast, and a 7-piece strip combo pairs the chicken with chips. Homemade sauces come with the food, usually in two types. Crinkle fries are on the menu.

“Very disappointed with Dairy King. The strips used to be long and well portioned, but now they’re almost half the size. I’ve noticed the portions getting smaller consistently. Feels like making money has become more important than quality and customer satisfaction. Really disappointing from a place I used to enjoy. Hit like if you experienced the same thing.”

“Definitely one of the best fried chicken I've had since moving to England. The chicken, chips and garlic bread were perfectly crispy, flavorful and definitely made fresh. Chicken wasn't overcooked and maintained it's juicy tenderness. Well make plans to come here again when I'm in Birmingham.”

“Yesterday I visited this shop because my kids kept talking about it, and as a family of food lovers, we were excited to try it. I ordered 3 burger meals and spent over £26. The food was packed to take away, but when I opened the burgers, I was very disappointed. One of the main issues was the burger bun, which felt very cheap and low quality. It reminded me of the budget-style buns commonly used in some Asian countries, and honestly, it didn’t match the price being charged. In my opinion, this burger is definitely not worth £9.49 for a meal. I’ve had £3 meal deals in the UK fried that were better than this. My suggestion is simple: you already have a good name and reputation, so please invest in better-quality buns and ingredients. It would make a huge difference to the overall experience.”

“Great food once again! The 7-piece strip combo was delicious and well worth it. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a satisfying meal.”

Customer Review Summary
Fried chicken tenders are the main draw, described as crispy outside and juicy inside and made fresh, though one reviewer notes they take a little while to come out. The 7-piece strip combo earns repeated praise, and close behind are the sides: Texan toast, garlic bread, well-seasoned chips, coleslaw, and two homemade sauces that one reviewer calls unique. Another says the sauce was the most flavourful part of an otherwise underwhelming visit. The recurring complaint is shrinking portions. Two reviewers say the strips are now almost half the size they used to be, and one found the chicken stringy on a second purchase. A burger meal drew criticism for a cheap-feeling bun that did not match the price, and one reviewer called the crinkle fries a poor choice and the service on the day indifferent, while others describe the staff as friendly. One family arriving at iftar was handed water by a server to break their fast while their order was prepared.
