Babe's Chicken Dinner House

Unlimited amounts of absolutely delicious foods.Great service right to your table.Awesome country sort of vibe. Imagine Cracker Barrel on steroids.There is nothing I don't love about this place, and I come every time I am in Texas. I cannot say enough good things about how much I love Babes

Love the food and entertainment Service is always incredible as the food is toI love how the servers have to do a dance to certain songs And if you're eating alone there are always two mannequins that may join you

Babe's Chicken Dinner House is always good!!! My family and I have been visiting Babe's together for over 15 years and it has long been a favorite gathering spot for holidays or special occasions. The food is great, the service is attentive, and the atmosphere is unique - creating a memorable dining experience. At the Arlington location, the interior is decorated as if you are in the midst of a small southern town. The facades of businesses line the walls and fake chickens are placed on any available surfaces. The lighting is dim with cozy string lights and neon signs illuminating the corners of the restaurant. The food is all served family style with large entrees and bottomless sides & appetizers. For $20 you can choose between smoked chicken, fried chicken, fried catfish, chicken tenders, or chicken fried steak (I'm not ashamed to say I've tried them all over the years). Each entree is served on a large platter and is definitely enough for more than one meal! The appetizers include an iceberg lettuce salad with a simple vinaigrette and biscuits. It may be the nostalgia talking, but I believe their biscuits are the best in the world. After getting full on salad and biscuits alone, your meal arrives with family style green beans, mashed potatoes, creamed corn, and gravy. The sides are delicious and you can ask for more of whatever you like! Their fried chicken is crunchy and juicy - and tastes amazing smothered in gravy. After you've eaten so much your top button on your pants bursts, you can take home the leftovers in plastic bags lined along the walls and pay up front on your way out. The servers used to dance the hokey pokey every hour - but I fear they've stopped doing that (at least at our most recent visit they didn't). In all, Babe's is an amazing value and a memorable family-friendly dining experience! I can't recommend it enough.

My aunt watches a YouTube channel where a guy is on a mission to find the best chicken fried steak in the south. He mentions Babe's so we went here while in town for a wedding. Babe's veggies all seemed canned, biscuits were buttery and soft, salad too sweet, and the chicken fried steak was a bit tasteless in my opinion (needed lots of gravy). The fried fish however was outstanding, perfectly flakey and the white meat delicate inside. I do like the big parking lot downtown, atmosphere, music, and service at Babe's.

I wanted to find a good place for lunch and this was close. I read the reviews and the website, and for 20 bucks, you sure do get stuffed! First they brought out a salad with sweet vinaigrette. I'm not too much a vinaigrette person, but this was delicious! I ate the whole salad and the biscuit they brought as well. They had honey on the table so I put some honey on the biscuit and it was perfect. Light and fluffy and not crusty and hard. I ordered the chicken tenders and then they brought what must have been 10 chicken tenders along with big bowls filled with mashed potatoes, green beans and corn. Everything was top notch and delicious! I would definitely be back, if I didn't live in Houston. This is a great one, though!

Our first time trying this place and we where shocked at all the food you get. Not to mention that it is all you can eat. The service was good but not the best. The ambiance was that old western saloon type of atmosphere. I ordered fried chicken and my wife ordered the fried fish. It comes with the sides of mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, gma's corn. Side salad and buttermilk biscuits served with syrup or honey. If you finish that, you can ask for more, no additional price. We had a second helping of all the sides because they bring you plenty of chicken and fish to start.The only thing i didnt like was that they warm up the dessert. Chocolate meringue pie and banana pudding is just good swrved warm.The servers will stop and dance from time to time based on the song that plays.Overall, we had a great experience.

Visited Babes, first time in about 2 years, and was not very impressed. Obviously prices have increased, but I thought the food quality has decreased somewhat. I ordered the fried chicken and thought it was a bit overcooked and the pieces were pretty small. Sides were Ok, not great. For the price, expected better. It's also no longer BYOB. Probably will be some time before I return.

My friend recommended this place, and it did not disappoint. The ambiance is great, service is friendly and attentive. Then there is the food. The fried chicken was so good - crispy and juicy. Sides were delish too. A must stop in Arlington.

I'm not a new customer to Babes. Just haven't been in several years since my wife isn't a fan of chicken off the bone. However, we had family in town and came here for an early dinner and knew they could accommodate a group with no problem. There's no reservations but the dining room is huge and easily handles big parties. Their service is five ! Every single person we had contact with was nice, friendly and provided excellent service. We had a combination of chicken tenders, fried chicken and one with a fish plate. However, those side dishes are just as good as the fried chicken. Everybody raved about the green beans, mashed potatoes and the corn. Then you have to mention the biscuits. Own if the best biscuits I can remember and even better if you drizzle honey on them.The fried chicken was even better than I remembered. Crispy and full of flavor! We won't wait that long to come back again. Great job Babes!!

My husband and I had lunch at this restaurant today. We ordered the catfish, and I don't know if the grease was old but it smelled terrible. Green beans had similar smell and burnt. The biscuits and coconut pie was good. Waitress asked which desert we wanted. Had no idea it was an additional expense. She failed to tell us. Our lunch bill was $58.39 and very disappointing as most of the food was inedible. Our overall experience, less than average. However our waitress,Mia was delightful
