“How have I been living in Dallas, 15 min from here, for 38 years and just now found this place!? Don't like tomatoes or mayo on your burger? Want extra pickles? No fussing with a cashier, there is a toppings bar to dress your burger the way YOU like. Fries were fresh and hot. Staff was friendly and fast. dining area was clean. Burgers were well seasoned and they gave us a generous amount of bacon and crumbled blue cheese. Chili cheese dog was a good, but I wish they would have toasted the hotdog bun. Overall, ten out of ten! We will be back!“

“Tried Cowboy Chicken and I’m not gonna lie… they did NOT disappoint. The wood-fire rotisserie chicken is the real deal — juicy, flavorful, and you can actually taste that smoky, slow-roasted flavor. The skin had that perfect crisp without being dry underneath.

The sides were just as solid. The cream spinach was creamy without being heavy, and the ranchero beans had a nice little kick to them. The rolls? Soft, buttery, and lowkey addictive.

Service was quick, food came out hot, and everything tasted fresh — not like it’d been sitting around. It’s one of those spots that feels simple but hits every time.

If you want good comfort food that actually fills you up without feeling greasy, this is a go-to. Definitely coming back.“

Our waitress/server Tiara was very warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the menu items and all around, gave some of the best service I've ever experienced out of all the places I have visited to eat. She sold me on a few things I definitely need to try once I come back. Definitely worth coming out! :)“

My kids like the food here. What I don't like is you have to ask for key to use the restroom. They use to have tvs playing the sports shows and now they are always off. They use to have jazz music playing and now they don't. At the other slims chickens the tvs work and the restrooms are unlocked.“

“I cannot thank your staff enough! I regrettably placed an order for an early Thanksgiving meal for 25 people at another establishment, but it never arrived as scheduled yesterday. I called your store and your staff was eager to help! Within 45 minutes we had food for 25 people, including an array of delicious sides. Thank you to everyone on the Cowboy Chicken team who contributed to saving our holiday feast yesterday. We have always loved your store and your food but now you certainly have a regular and loyal customer for life! Keep up the great job!“

“I guess this was to be expected. We went for Thanksgiving dinner. The turkey was dry, they had stuffing and not dressing. The kitchen staff could not keep up with the high volume of people so a lot of the side items was not replaced for over 45 minutes to an hour. I ate more of the regular menu items than I did the Thanksgiving Dinner items. Sweet Potato Pie, Pumpkin Pie, sweet potato souffle or the ham. The organization was completely horrible. My daughter stood in line for over 30 minutes trying to get her some turkey just to learn that she was in the lounge for the steak that is grilled in front of the customers. Whoever planned and organized the cook station should have separated the turkey and ham from the steak grill. That would have shorten the long wait in line that 95% of the customers experienced.“
