Chicken Shops near Boise, ID

“As I pulled into the drive through, I got a bunch of texts & a call that my son’s school was on lockdown & there were a lot of police. I was freaking out & finally got my app up to scan for a free 5 piece. I told the kid sorry & what was going on. I get to the window & the sweet girl handed me a brownie & said sorry about my son’s school & hoped everyone is ok. I hadn’t eaten all day & due to terrible roads, I had about a 45 min drive to get home. I opened up the nugget & they gave me a 10 piece. It was a false threat thank heaven. Anyway, this totally made my day & love that this company & location are so kind & caring. Thank you. ❤️“

“Our experience at this location is always above and beyond. Today, we had the pleasure of being helped by Brooklyn Peterson. He greeted us with a smile as we walked through the door, asked us how our meal is, and filled up our drink twice. He even remembered our drinks the second time without having to ask us! He knows how to provide great service and makes sure his customers feel seen. What a perfect way to end our night! Will be returning.“

“literally every stereotype of chick-fi-la employees going out of their way to make your day great is true. i forgot to unfreeze my card after i lost it and left my phone in the car. i was about to explain to the cashier what happened when she said “no worries! i got you!” and reached to her card and paid for me?? one of the nicest people i’ve ever met and i love her fr“

“I love going to KFC to get a quick dinner for my family however the night that I was there they said and keep in mind this was around 7:00 at night they said that they were out of chicken and all they could give me was wings for the same price as the regular chicken pieces that did not settle well with me and the cashier that was at the window was extremely rude so I'm sorry to say I just drove off I'm not going to pay $67 for chicken wings and very little sides like I said this is 7:00 at night so I could not figure out why they were out of almost everything however the atmosphere I like being around people and and people were talking and and they weren't being loud or anything so that was pretty neat thank you“

“Ate take out at the A&W. Not KFC. The double bacon cheese burger is delicious, and I don't know what they do to their fries but they are supreme flavor. Highly recommend. Also, I understand they do their best to source their ingredients locally. So, YEAH! Support your local economy.“

“Want to give a shout out to Austin. He did his best helping everyone as quickly as he could and how understaffed they always seem to be, he managed to make everyone happy. The food was a little cold but always great tasting. The lobby could've used some cleaning and stalking as well, but again, I think there was only 3 people working on a Friday night.“

“My students were super excited to have their meals after their piano recital sponsored by Dave's Hot Chicken! All 20+ people ate until they were so full and absolutely loved it: the space was awesome with the open garage door to the fresh air, the food was hot and delicious, the staff was so polite and helpful. Andy especially went out of his way to take care of us and make sure we had everything we needed for our event. I'm so amazed by the generosity and kindness of these people. We love that you support the arts and the kids!!! You guys are the best! Thank you!!!“

“Great food. Simple menu very well executed.“

“Houston TX Hot Chicken ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Houston TX Hot Chicken is a fast-casual restaurant that claims to offer “the freshest, healthiest and hottest Texas Hot Chicken sandwiches in the world.” Founded in 2020 by Houston Crosta and Edmond Barseghian, the original location is in Las Vegas, Nevada. Co-founder Barseghian states, “Our brand is Texas hot chicken – the sauce is sweeter and more savory than Nashville.” Despite the branding, this business has no connection to Texas; it is named after co-founder, Houston Crosta. KM and I visited Houston TX Hot Chicken in Meridian on 10/4/23, as part of a Yelp Elite event. We both got a complimentary Original Hot Chicken sandwich meal combo, plus a chicken tender and beverage of choice. The restaurant has high ceilings with exposed duct work, which gives it an industrial vibe. There are cool counter tops lit from beneath, which change color. There is a good amount of what appears to be light wood paneling along the walls, with some large, bold red images on part of a wall and the bathroom doors. The décor has a modern, youthful vibe. The combination of the most comfortable seating I’ve encountered in a fast/casual restaurant of it’s kind, indoor AND outdoor/patio dining, and great music played at a reasonable volume, gives the sense Houston TX Hot Chicken is trying to appear to a broader customer base than some of the other hot chicken joints I’ve visited locally, which is much appreciated. The service from start to end was EXCELLENT! The employees seemed genuinely happy to see us, and very sincere in their offer to answer questions etc. We also got to meet the GM Jason, who was very personable and a wealth of information. KM ordered the Strawberry Hibiscus House Lemonade, which you can upgrade to a Slushy for $1. I tried a taste. We both thought it was pretty good. I got Diet Pepsi. It had good carbonation. The Spice Levels from mildest to hottest are: No Spice, Honey Butter, Mild, Medium, Spicy, Liftoff, and Houston We Have a Problem. Ordering the latter requires you to sign a waiver. KM ordered a Mild Original Hot Chicken sandwich, and a Honey Butter chicken tender. I ordered a Medium Original Hot Chicken sandwich, and a Spicy chicken tender. There are 8 sauces to choose from, 4 of which are made in house daily. We got one of each of the ones made in house daily: House, Cheese, Cilantro, and Caesar. KM and I both LOVED our Original Hot Chicken sandwiches! KM doesn’t like spicy food as much as I do. She enjoyed both Mild and Honey Butter, though she didn’t feel she could really taste the Honey Butter flavoring in her tender. I loved both the Medium and Spicy, but next time I would get a Spicy sandwich and maybe try a Liftoff tender. The Halal chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I don’t normally care for sweet sauces such as the House, but it paired perfectly with the Spicy flavor of my sandwich. The cole slaw was good. I really liked the Brioche bun; KM would have preferred an old-school Sesame Seed Hamburger Bun. The pickles were good. Each order included a container of House sauce. Houston TX Hot Chicken serves high quality Lamb Weston Concertina cut French fries. Concertina cut is “a modern take on classic crinkle cuts with deeper, crispier grooves and ridges. Crispy grooves have more edges that provide satisfying extra crunch. Thick cuts are sturdier and are less prone to breaking than thinner fries.” In my opinion, Lamb Weston French fries are the best premade fries you can buy, but they are hard to find. I appreciate that Houston TX Hot Chicken’s attention to detail regarding the use of high quality ingredients includes the type of chicken they use, as well as the quality of French fries they serve. The only thing I didn’t like about the fries is I think they are lightly seasoned with Honey Butter flavored spice. I like sweet flavors as part of a dessert, but I don’t care for them in an entrée. KM didn’t feel the fries were sweet. The average person may not. I’m just extra sensitive to sweet flavors in entrees. Next time, I would ask for the seasoning“
