We stopped in at around 6:30 last night. The staff was very friendly, their lobby is adorable, and their food was delicious! I got giant chicken tenders with pickle salt and it did not disappoint! Even the apple cider slaw was amazing. We will definitely be back!

very best chicken in Waco in my opinion. I have only had the nuggets but so delicious. you can get in 5 different spicy levels. and hot is spicy. the Buffalo butter is spicy and delicious as well. And the fresh squeezed lemonade is just that. so good. 10 out of 10. highly recommend. I don't think they will disappoint.

Bestest, juiciest, biggest slabs of chicken I've ever had. I had the Nashville spice. Just excellent.

Chicken strip breading fell Completely off, fryer temp must not have been right. French fries were excellent. Basic sauce super sweet to me

Paid 10 dollars for 1 small tender a toast and a lot of French fries were extra salty and tenders were greasy overall not worth it never come here felt like I got scammed!

Absolute rip off. Opened the box and wow 1 little baby tender some fries and like half a piece of bread. Spend your money at Canes.

I went not expecting much but then i saw this cute new employee who made it all worth it! He was tall and dark and had a ravishing beard that i just want to curl up in. He wore glasses that made him look intellectual but also hot and naughty. I think his name was Elm or something. 5 Stars for the service 3 Stars for food

It was okay. The nuggets were hotter than I expected and it was pricey to me for what I got. I wasn't blown away but I can see the appeal that it's "different" for what their sauces are, like when you hear "hot" you would probably think like a Buffalo sauce but it's hot is more like a chili oil with seasonings and spices over it, the chicken salt fries were pretty good though. Hawks sauce was hard to describe, kind of like what you'd imagine a Cane's sauce to be with mustard mixed into it.

Aaaaaaaaahhhhmaaaaaaaazing! Drove from Lorena to try it out and it did NOT disappoint! Firstly, the chicken- plump, juicy, tasteeee! Classic nuggets were loved by the 3 yr old and husband (who dipped in the Buffalo butter) no burnt edges on these perfectly fried pieces. The strips with chicken salt had amazing balance and paired well with the house made ranch. Fries were perfect. Freshly squeezed lemonade on point! And to top it off, little perfectly buttered toast- just enough to feel glorious without feel like a carb hog. Just enough on the menu, executed well, without being overwhelming. Can not wait to go back!

Pretty average, honestly expected the Nashville seasoning to have more heat then it did. Would try the reaper next time. The "chicken salt" really didn't add anything to the fry's.
Just on the search for a decent spicy chicken sandwich. Fries were good but the chicken was super dry, unevenly seasoned, and the flavor was not good. Would not return and would not recommend.

Hawks is magnificent- I like it better than canes or chick-fil-a. If your looking for solid chicken tenders, look no further. The service is quick and the food is well done. The toast is superb and the hawk's sauce is also delightful. The only downfall is that they redid their menu- getting rid of some of my favorite items.

I have wanted to try it for some time now, so my husband and I went on Sunday after church. It was so incredibly impossibly loud the girl that takes the orders couldn't hear us and we couldn't hear her. There was 2 tables of teenager/young adults eating and the noise was ear piercing It was their fault it's the place. they have a wood ceiling that just bounces off the noise. I wanted to leave but my husband wanted to try it. I literally hand to hold my hands over my ears because of the screeching. We got tenders and legs. We sit down at a table but couldn't stay it was unbelievable how loud it really is. The food was great except for the coleslaw. It is too tart. ( no Mayo). It was very very expensive. It was $31 for 2 meals. We won't be back , but not because of the food. It's the noise. You almost have to go sit in there to understand just how awful it really is. We sit outside and ate and the interstate was no as loud.

Just awesome. Very clean feel and look. Chicken was cooked superbly. Sweet tea and fries were done just right. The staff was courteous and helpful. Had the wings, just the right spice as to not overwhelm, but give a good kick. Will definitely go next time I'm in Waco.

This Place is Legendary! As it says in the name, the chicken is delicious, the fries are above all good, and the staff is always so pleasant! Better than Dave’s, Better than Chick, it’s fantastic. Annalisa is one of the nicest employees I’ve met and as a Manager myself, I would absolutely love to have someone like her on my team always. She radiates joy and is so positive. 10/10 would recommend!
