 The first Go Chicken Go was started by Bill and Mary Hendrx in Kansas City, Kansas in 1969. They opened their fried chicken restaurant in a "Go Gas" gasoline station. Their three sons purchased the restaurant in 1985 and expanded to 5 restaurants, including this location in Olathe, Kansas. Up until preparing this review, I had only tried Go Chicken Go's fried gizzards and livers. The gizzards are particularly popular where I work and when someone makes a Go Chicken Go run, they end up bringing back at least 6 orders and a few extra servings of the secret hot sauce "G-Sauce." But preparing this review I tried several items. I wasn't impressed with the mashed potatoes, French fries, Cole's slaw or rolls, but the the fried chicken at Go Chicken Go is as good as I have had anywhere in Olathe. The Go Chicken Go building is nothing special, but everything is clean, including the rest rooms. Go Chicken G0 offers counter or drive up service. A 3 piece chicken dinner with mashed potatoes, cole slaw and 2 Rolls runs $7.05. 5 wings are $7.70 with the same sides or $5.40 with just a roll. A bottle of Go Chicken Go G-sauce is $3.29. Go Chicken Go has recently added weekday specials from 10AM-4PM. For example: Mondays the special is a half order of gizzards of livers, side dish and a large drink for $5.99. Tuesdays $5.99 will get you 5 wings, a side dish and a large drink.
