12 Best Chicken Restaurants near Eagle

“I wasn't sure what to expect when we first tried Dave's Hot Chicken. If you're looking for a range of hot chicken tenders and sandwiches, the food and service are really good. It's not crispy chicken, however. It's a rub, and it's delicious.

I got the #4 slider, which is plenty of food! I ordered the Reaper spice level, because that's how I roll, and it is not for those with weak taste buds. Thoroughly enjoyed it!“

“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“

“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.“

“This place is delicious and very reasonable. I had the taco salad. The lettuce was crisp, beans and rice well seasoned, the chicken was exceptional. Tortilla bowl was large and crispy. My husband had a chicken burrito. The fillings were delicious and evenly distributed. The tortilla around the fillings was the best he has tasted. We will definitely go again as soon as possible. Love this place.“

“Got lunch there for the first time yesterday. Amazing is all we can say. We are going back today. It was that good.“

“They used to be really good. We liked their Pico de Gallo but now has pungent green bell peppers instead of cilantro. The chicken is hard, dried out, in tacos and burritos. Hope they go back to what they were. We won't go back until they do.“

“Great chicken option. We came through the drive thru at 3pm when it wasn't too busy, so our order was made fresh. The chicken was lightly breaded and the quality of the chicken meat was excellent. I feel it was worth the wait to get the chicken made fresh. I don't know if they make it fresh every time, but I feel they should. I think most people, like me, would be willing to wait the extra few minutes for fresh chicken. I only left 4 stars for atmosphere, but that's only because I only came through Thre drive thru and didn't go into the building“
