Chicken Shops in Houston, TX

“I recommend that they stop serving old hard fried chicken wings & large thighs w/all that fat on ToGo orders so when U drive all the way home you're stuck with a bad order. I bought 3 orders Fifth Ward Specials $36.60 & 1 Red Bean w/Rice + 1 Macaroni w/Cheese $6.69 which was not good at all. Tasted old & we don't live very close by but my church is near by & does a lot of business with Frenchy's but for me & mine we will not do business with Frenchy's. This was at your East Fwy. Store“

“Two days in a row. The cauliflower bites were delicious until the third day. I asked for hot, and someone put reaper, I got home, and starting eating, and had to drink milk and a ton of water, to try to stop my chest from hurting. That was not cool at all“

“I’m not sure that I could recommend this place. The food was good, however I was with my 5yr old daughter and really felt like we were rushed. I understand we can’t possible order up a tab that much but we surely didn’t deserve to feel rushed. We split a salad and the meatballs. The main dish came out literally 2 mins after receiving the salad. I don’t know about this place. Slow it down.“

“Lots of reasons to like Tumble 22...tasty menu, hip atmosphere, friendly...great deserts too.“

“Same efficient, friendly service you expect with any Chick-fil-A!“

We are regulars with our granddaughter and the staff, especially Juan, always makes sure we are taken care of. Love the atmosphere under the big trees, too!“

“Delicious food! Great service. Mayte and Carmen did a great job. They made us feel welcome. Keep it up Chick Houz“

“For the amount of employees that were working and the amount of customers they had in their hands on a Friday night the food was amazing. Everything was fresh and delicious. Cynthia was extremely kind providing such amazing customer service She had the patience to help me navigate through the menu as it was my first time here. It was a little wait to get my order but She was amazing for helping out i loved this place! Will definitely come back !!“

“I ordered a 6-piece bucket with spaghetti and rice, along with the pineapple quencher. The chicken dipped in gravy taste very comforting, delicious, and flavorful. The chicken bucket was all spicy flavored. Absolutely loved the kick from the spicy flavor. Service was good and place was clean. I would come back for sure“

“I would give this place a 5 star. Shante was very patient and helpful giving that it was my first time visiting and I wasn’t quite sure what to order. The place is very clean and everyone was friendly. The food came up quick and was hot and fresh.“

“I stop by to give my humble opinion since I arrived they gave me a warm welcome they give super professional attention Miss Alejandra and Blanca are super friendly they treat you wonderfully please they should have staff like them and the other employees not to mention super professionals thank you for excellent service“

“Hilda is great. They have also added some new items .“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

“Service was welcoming and warm. Food didn’t take long. Came out fresh and hot. I got #1 which is one medium and one hot tender. Hot was pretty spicy if you like drinking lots of water and too much pickle taste. Medium was perfect, not too hot, similar to wingstop mild. Would recommend if you like hot chicken“

“Recuerda mi tierra mi bella Guatemala“

“Had no clue Rooster and Rice & OhMyGogi! Joined forces.

The guy at the front counter was awesome, person-able, knowledgeable on the menu, and helped us out greatly. From start to finish!

I first had OhMyGogi! When they were just a taco truck driving around town and at local events like for HUG Tx2k. We absolution enjoyed everything we tried.

The Korean BBQ Street Tacos were just full of flavor as a must try item!
The sliders were our other favorite along with the quesadilla.

And Rooster & Rice is just as delicious, highly suggest for first timer to try the “cutlet” the crust and crunchiness is the way to go. Chicken was juicy, tender, and full of flavor for something so simple.

The only bad item worth noting is that seating inside is rather limited. (See pic) it’s VERY small, 4-5 seats at a bar counter top. So if you plan to sit down, you’ll have to sit outside to enjoy your hot meal.

But don’t let that stop you. We enjoyed it so much, we already went back for more today w the family. (Have to update the review with more pictures and videos of our food selections)

Definitely worth a stop and try out if your in the area.

Until next time.

Parking: Had a hard time finding a spot, but if you drive to the back or go around to the other side there are more spots.“

“The crispy spicy with the elementary spicy is A1. Truffle fries one of the best around and great service“

“Amazing food! The kebabs were juicy and flavorful, the rice was perfectly cooked with saffron and cranberries, and the hummus was smooth and delicious. The eggplant dip was rich and authentic with great toppings. Definitely one of the best Persian meals I’ve had — highly recommend!“

“Went to drive thru very Friendly“

“Came by here tonight to grab dinner. Not only is the food delicious, it’s reasonably priced, and the staff are very friendly. I will definitely be back!“

“Delicious food! Great service. Mayte and Carmen did a great job. They made us feel welcome. Keep it up Chick Houz“

“I come to pollo regio very often and the atmosphere is always very good. I had the pleasure of being served by Yeni and like all the restaurant employees she was very kind to me and made sure my order was perfect. I recommend you try the food here!“

“Doctor appointments in Houston mean trying new places! We've been looking forward to trying Pok Pok Po for a few weeks since we saw Shawn the Food Sheep's video review. It did not disappoint! This is the best chicken ever! Look at the seasoning on those fries! My chicken sandwich had an amazing sauce and kimchi on it. Caleb had the chicken nugget basmati rice bowl with kimchi. The side sauces are to die for, and perfectly complemented all we had. PLOT TWIST-- there are two concepts kitchens in one store front!! Pok pok Po shares a space and is the same company/chef as Bōl--a Chipoltle-style Indian food concept. We were able to try a wide sample of their fares including the rice, lamb, cauliflower, potatoes, paneer, pickled onions, avocados, and cucumber salad, airy potatoes crisps, mango Lassi, and samosa. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Staff, manager, and chef take pride in their establishment and value the experience of the customer. Everything there is gluten free (except the burger bun--but make it a wrap or a salad!) And halal, and the chicken is anibiotic free. Everything was spotless, bathrooms were nice and big.Free parking!“

“Great chicken! Street corn as very tasty.“

“Great airport service! Very well-run operation.“

“Normally, the service is exceptionally great! Today the cashier did not speak. I spoke had to make them speak basically. Frequently visits 2-3 at least times a week. Today 🙁“

“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“

“Came by here tonight to grab dinner. Not only is the food delicious, it’s reasonably priced, and the staff are very friendly. I will definitely be back!“

“A must visit when in Houston. The chicken is fresh not frozen and there is a difference! In addition to fresh and good food the service is exceptional. Thank you Alyssa for super service! You made believers out of these first timers. We will be back.“

“Don’t tip for take out as they don’t know you tipped and don’t do anything for you. I gave 20% tip and since it was raining plus had a little kid we wanted to stay but the acted like we were unpaid guests. Gee, we paid the same as everyone else.“

“Chicken tenders are the best I’ve ever had“

“A must visit when in Houston. The chicken is fresh not frozen and there is a difference! In addition to fresh and good food the service is exceptional. Thank you Alyssa for super service! You made believers out of these first timers. We will be back.“

“Layne's is the absolute best! We don't ever go to that other place anymore because they don't even compare! Layne's has the BEST lemonade, the BEST chicken, and the BEST customer service. Thank you for offering an assortment of sauces. My favorite is the gravy. Yummmmy!“

“This place is close to my parents' house. It wasn't my first time there . I had purchased a maracuya drink and a coconut flan before. The drink was delicious and refreshing. The coconut flan was delectable. Yesterday, I purchased a blackberry drink plus two sides. The drink was delicious and you can tell them how sweet you want it. They don't have many vegetarian items; however, I ordered fried plantains and rice with beans. I had the small portions. I found the beans salty, and that's why I took a star off. Nevertheless, the staff was friendly.“

“Delicioso pollo campero Mm“

“Nancy made our experience wonderful! I will be returning simply because of how friendly, and remarkable she was as a representative of this Urban Bird. If the world had more Nancy's everything would be better. OH the food was good too! Haha!“

“Great all the way around. Incredible deal on the tenders and rib combo. One of the best in town in every way. Excellent food and service“

“We eat from here ever time they come to the apartment complex and it is a wonderful experience. The food is incredible and the people running the truck are even better I can not say enough great things about this food truck.“

“❤️?? The best, place for Baleadas and chicken with Tajadas. Catracho flavor? ! To share with family and friends I recommend Good service, 15 minute wait when there are many orders, the person in charge is excellent at serving, and very friendly!!!“

“The fried chicken was delicious! I also loved the tteokbokki! I highly recommend Krisp Korean Fried Chicken.“

“Love! I got the garlic beef lunch special with egg fried rice. So flavorful. My new favorite spot, for sure will be returning and trying different bento boxes.
Oh, and I also got the iced coffee latte, no boba and it is really good and sweet ❤️

Parking: It’s a small/tight parking lot next to a very busy street called Chimney Rock, off of Westheimer, so come mentally prepared with patience especially during lunch time and rush hours.“

“We took a group of teens to chick fil as part of a birthday party. Andrika and the team went way above and beyond to make my 14 year old daughter’s birthday amazing. Highly recommend!!!“

“There is not one thing bad I can say about Yummy’s. The portions are more than substantial for their prices, the FOOD… is PHENOMENAL. Absolutely delicious. We got the loaded potatoes w Mac n cheese and the ‘hot’ flavored chicken and it was divine. Can’t wait to go back and try more of twist they have to offer!!!“
