Chicken Shops in Waco, TX

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

“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!“

“I don’t know what’s better the service or the food!!! The portion sizes are amazing and Angel was the only employee working and my goodness I haven’t seen service that amazing in a fully staff restaurant, let alone by himself!!We will be back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Oysters are great. ......“

“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.“

“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!“

“Chick-fil-A at Baylor's Student Union Building has been a staple of my campus experience. This quick-service restaurant has consistently provided delicious chicken sandwiches and nuggets, perfect for a busy student's schedule. Its location on the first floor of the Bill Daniel Student Center (SUB) made it incredibly convenient, especially when I was studying in the SUB or heading to morning classes.One thing to note is the menu's simplicity, akin to an airport selection. While it may be limited compared to full-scale Chick-fil-A outlets, the quality and taste of the food remain top-notch. The chicken sandwiches, in particular, have been a delightful and familiar comfort during my time on campus.What makes this location stand out is its commitment to sustainability, as part of a broader initiative within Baylor's dining services. Chick-fil-A at Baylor is part of a food court that includes other dining options like Freshii and Steak 'n Shake, offering a variety of choices for every palate.Whether you're looking for a quick meal between classes or a familiar snack while studying, Chick-fil-A at the Baylor Student Union Building is a reliable and enjoyable choice. The convenience, combined with the quality of the food, makes it a favorite spot for many students like myself“

“This place is delicious, it reminds me of what fast food used to be, but better.

I told the dude behind the counter it was my first time at a bushes, he hooked it up with a small sweetened ice tea and recommendations.

Im telling all the traveling workers at the papermill job.“

“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!“

“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.“

“It was about 9pm when I went, so they didn't have the chicken patty I wanted. So I got the chicken fried steak (and im still not really sure what that is). It didn't come with the white gravy like the picture indicated, so I just put ketchup on it. All in all, I was still happy with what I got. The staff was friendly. It seemed overpriced for what I was getting, but thats just inflation (thx, joe). I will go back.“
