What happened after Man v. Food?

Price's Chicken Coop was a cash-only, takeout-only fried chicken restaurant on Camden Road in Charlotte's South End neighborhood, a local institution known for chicken wrapped in butcher paper and a line out the door most afternoons.

The restaurant closed on June 19, 2021, after 59 years in business — meaning it opened around 1962 — according to Charlotte Magazine, WSOC-TV, and Axios Charlotte. WCNC reported that labor shortages and rising food costs contributed to the closure. Spectrum News 1 also covered the closing the same week. A Yelp listing for the Camden Road address, updated in September 2026, continues to list Price's Chicken Coop as permanently closed, consistent with the 2021 closure reporting. No dated source found in this review reports a reopening of Price's Chicken Coop at the Camden Road address or elsewhere in Charlotte since the 2021 closure.
