Chicken Restaurants near Bellmead

“We are Canadian and wanted to see what all the fuss was about with this place. We get it now! Now it sure wasn't cheap. Pricey fast food, especially with currency conversion, but every bite was delicious. That frozen lemonade made me swoon. Then I tried the peach milkshake. Oooh my Lanta. That alone made me want to move to somewhere with a Chick-Fil-A! Wow. We had been told to try the peach milkshake. We never would have ordered that. It tasted so fresh like they just picked the peach from a peach tree behind the restaurant. The chicken burger was exceptional. I enjoyed the waffle fries, too. Our kids weren't wild about the waffle fries but the chicken went down well with them. As did the milkshake and frozen lemonade.

Kid-friendliness: Nice kids meals with the choice of a toy it ice cream.“

“First time ever trying Popeyes in Bellemead, Waco area with my family, we want to give thanks to Tee who provided great customer service and support, she promised us the food will be awesome and she did not let us down! Thank you Tee and your team keep up the good work god bless…“

“I really hate that I liked this place so much, but it’s good chicken. I heard the story on a podcast and happened to drive by one, so we stopped in. The sliders are the size of a regular chicken sandwich, the tenders are the size of a breast fillet and the flavor slaps. Chicken was moist and crispy with the prefect spice level. (I got the second to hottest) Spice was perfectly spicy, my kids got the medium which was still tasty. The pickles are perfectly crispy/sour as they compliment the chicken bite!! Fries are dusted with some of the spice powder and every bite was crispy with flavor. The slaw was a classic slaw, just your ordinary slaw; slap it in a sandwich and the perfect compliment!!! 9/10 would recommend! Try it on for size if you like fried chicken tenders all ways! I would love some bone in chicken but this was good!“

“After the first bite I just knew this was going to be a fantastic meal. Literally the best chicken I’ve had, fried to absolute perfection all the way around!“

“While eating, I observed an employee cleaning the dining room. Excellent job, I went up and asked her name...Stephanie..I eat at Cains in Oklahoma..and south texas. This woman took great pride in her work. Please inform the manager.. thank you“

“Great people working there.“

“The best Chicken Fingers Ever !!!!! I love the Cane Sauce“

“Their food was amazing! Great place for date night!“

“Chick-fil-A’s Smoke & Soul Combo

I didn’t just eat this meal. I experienced it.

The moment the tray hit the table, I knew this wasn’t fast food—it was fast fine dining. A symphony in Styrofoam. I’m talking curated balance: spice, sweet, smoke, comfort, and chill.

Let’s begin with the Spicy Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Sandwich, tucked inside that warm toasted bun like a secret. The filet had a beautiful crunch, layered with smoky bacon so thick it curled at the edge, and a rich BBQ sauce that didn’t overpower—it complemented. Then there was that Colby-Jack melt, slightly tangy, grounding every bite. This was heat with harmony, not chaos.

Slide over to the Mac & Cheese—golden, molten, and unapologetically creamy. You can see the caramelized cheese crown on top like it came out of grandma’s oven, not a commercial kitchen. It had that soulful baked edge and smooth center swirl. Every spoonful was a hug.

Then the Waffle Fries—golden, crispy, ridged like potato armor. That crunch? Impeccable. And let me speak on that Heinz Dip & Squeeze packet like it’s an innovation out of Silicon Valley. Peel for dip. Tear to squeeze. That’s ketchup tech. That’s love in a red suit.

Now, the drinks. The Pineapple Dragonfruit Sunjoy was ruby red and glowing—iced to the heavens, just sweet enough, no syrupy aftershock. Sipped like summer in a glass.

And that Frosted Pineapple Dragonfruit Lemonade? Look, I’ve had desserts. I’ve had drinks. I’ve never had a moment like that. It’s creamy. It’s cold. It’s tropical. It’s citrusy. It’s like somebody flash-froze a fruit dream and dropped it in my cup. That swirl of pink lemonade and ice cream was the mic drop of the meal.

The dining room? Packed. Quiet. Focused. Like a congregation. That’s the Chick-fil-A effect—hospitality without effort, flow without force. From the “My pleasure” to the precision of every item, you’re reminded: they don’t need Sunday. They win Monday through Saturday.

Would I change a thing? Not a chance. This is a five-star experience in a red tray world.“

“Consistent food quality and service at this location! Our favorite, easy breakfast spot. And this morning, I was so impressed with Jordan. He went to refill my hot coffee, but came back to apologize since it would be 4-5 minutes for fresh coffee. I declined to wait, but he quickly offered to get me another drink of my choice. I asked him "Even an iced coffee?" Yep, no problem and thank you, Jordan for great service!“

“Shout out to Seth and Shannon for not only letting us show up last minute, but then going the extra mile to let us know that they appreciated us being there even so. It brought back nostalgia of a pre covid era when people actually cared about and appreciated the service they provided as much as the consumer. We’ll go out of our way to experience that from now on!“

“The food is always great, I experienced the best freshest golden crispy fries ever. However the drive thru service is so slow. One day it took 30 mins to get tenders and fries, the next day 45 mins to get tenders and fries. Nice staff just slow service.“

“Just ate here and the food was good. Seafood is cooked to order so a little bit of a wait but was worth it.“

“They messed up on ringing up my order charging me double for the food. It was fixed but the employee tries to argue with me over it. I order the same thing often and if someone is wrong about how they ring up an order it should be an inquiry, not an argument. Some get defensive though. Food was great as always.“

“Been coming to this location for many years, I don't think we ever had bad food, maybe occasionally we will get stale fries but that doesn't make us upset.Actually most often we get more tenders than what we order so it all works out.“
