"I love that I can pick up a whole meal of some of the most amazing fried chicken ever. It comes with all the sides and is melt in your mouth good. The only thing is I only like chicken breast and I wish I could just get one piece."

Babe's Chicken Dinner House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (884) • $$

"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."

Angel Chicken Kitchen

"ACK, with all its simple, farm pride decor, serves some slammin' fried chicken and does hard-working customers of all preferences proud whether you wanna eat healthy or get down n' dirty. My wife and I seesaw the spectrum since every dish we've had here is simply stellar. First and foremost, Hill Country. If you're going to ACK for the first time, this is what you will order. It's not a suggestion. It's a command. The jalapeño jam and goat cheese combo paired with their practically perfect fried chicken recipe on a super crumbly biscuit will make your eyes roll into your head and leave 'em there until about 15 mins. after you finished this bad boy. All their biscuit sandwiches are going to give you the "happies" but Hill Country does take the cake. Gotta hand it to a place serving fried chicken - they know not everyone wanting fried chicken wants the stuffed-gut guilt usually contributed by the accompaniment of french fries or mashed potatoes. I love that ACK has these healthy bowls of delicious veggies and quinoa (rice is another option). I have personally tried the teriyaki bowl and the peanut butter honey chili bowl, and both give me that rare balance of drowning in deliciousness but not because I'm weighed down feeling like I ate 5 lbs. of abhorration.It's great that a place can offer the two sides of the culinary coin with consistent, remarkable flavors. To add to the long list of positives - great prices under $10 a dish!"

"My last visit to Babe's was to transport their amazing Fried Chicken Dinner to my mom in Wimberley.She loves their chicken so I ordered a few dinners and picked them up. They are efficient and quick to get your order out to you.Anyways, if you transport the chicken open the box to let it cool faster and so the crust on the chicken doesn't sweat.I have a cooler ready to pack everything in once it cools off. The dinners arrived about 4 hours later and Mom is so funny, she ate the chicken cold for 2 days and know the sides warmed up really well.When your mama craves Babe's, you make it happen!"

"the food and service is wonderful! the chicken, eggs, and greens were exceptionally seasoned!"

Whistle Britches

★★★★☆ 4.1 (301) • $$

"It's been sittin' here for a while without us getting around to trying it, but finally did today and it's good reviews are deserved. The chicken is a tiny bit spicy, just a pinch, and is big and tender. The crust is good, not too much and not too little. I got the Love Me Tender, and despite bein' a growin' boy, I actually couldn't finish it, so the portions are very nice. The potato salad was really good, but being a side-lover, I personally could have gone with a tad less chicken in favor of a bit more side, but it's fine. The biscuits are large enough to turn out as actual sandwich "buns", so they are very big and nice quality. Service and atmosphere is great (had enough country music to do me for a year or two). Anyway, recommended!"

Roland’s Jamaican Chicken

★★★★★ 4.5 (209) • $$

"Small place but lots of seating and great service ! Food came out right away. I came here to try my favorite dish the oxtail. It was pricey as most places but I was willing to try them out. Was a little disappointed at the sizes of the meat on them. I got about 5 small bones. Which is not bad if the price wasn't so high. They were cooked very well and tender but It had a weird nutmeg I believe taste that threw me off. I had a side of coleslaw to try and It was ok ."

Rule the Roost

★★★★☆ 4.1 (238) • $

"This sandwich is drop dead fire! I mean you can control the heat on it with the different heat options, but whichever option is your flavor of choice rest assured you will be pleased. Simple stuff done right on this sandwich, not too much oil in the breading, bun was stable and not soggy which is so important to enjoy a good chicken sandwich, and lets not rule out the presentation which my photos don't do justice. They do go above and beyond here and you can tell the staff loves the product, as well. They keep the environment around here fun, casual, clean, and well organized. Perfectly done roosty toasty chicken sandwich!"

Breakfast Brothers

★★★★☆ 3.7 (284) • $$

"Recently visited breakfast brothers on a team outing and glad my boss lady picked this place! Let me tell you, good fried catfish in the DFW is hard to come buy. This place has it down to a science. The seasonings and the crunch were great! I order the catfish and waffles. While the waffle wasn't my favorite, I was ready to go back the next day for the catfish The space is small and I hope one day the owners will be able to expand. Because of this and their popularity you may find that you have a wait time but the staff manage it well. I will definitely return to try more items. Everyone in our party or 8 enjoyed their food. No complaints! They service breakfast/lunch/dinner menu all day."

Babe's Chicken Dinner House

★★★★☆ 4 (239) • $$

"Babe's is a favorite stop when the family is all together. The easy menu choices (which you can't go wrong with any of the options, though we are a fried chicken and chicken tender family), shared sides and nice space to visit and enjoy spending time together. Their service is always great, but Sierra was TOP NOTCH and we hope to see her again before she is off to school in the fall."

Bad Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.1 (214)

"I finally got to try Bad Chicken after being so encapsulated by the name! And let just say, there is NOTHING bad about this chicken. The wings are smoked and then fried and you can definitely taste it! We had the buffalo lemon pepper in medium and Cajun dry rub and they were fantastic! The loaded curly fries are a for sure a must have. As for the vibes, they are a 10/10! They have a game console set up for you to play games with your friends and family as well as a pretty large patio area with games. Did I also mention they serve alcohol? We had their Original marg and a hennyrita! The food was amazing, the service was good, and the vibes were there! We are for sure definitely returning soon"

Smackbird Hot Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.4 (104)

"If you're a fan of the Popeye's Chicken Sandwich, Smackbird is the place for you to visit! This ghost kitchen is located inside of Cowboy Chicken.The chicken sandwich is crispy, flavorful and big with their signature Smacksauce. You can choose your heat level for the hot chicken. LiteSmack has flavor but not noticeable spice, whereas the GoodSmack has the right amount of kick to your bite without being overwhelming! I'll have to come back and try their jumbo tenders because their chicken is so juicy.Grab a side of dippers (potato skin fries) and banana pudding and you've got a full meal! I was taken aback how spicy the lemonade was! It tasted like a blend of lemonade and cayenne, which was a unique experience."

The Chicken Place

★★★★☆ 3.8 (115) • $

"I love this place. They are never out of items , everything is always fresh and cooked perfectly. I was get the gizzards here. I always get more than I ordered, the batter is never too greasy and always seasoned well. The Cole slaws tasted fresh and was not watery. The mash potatoes were very creamy and smooth. Their lemonade is also very good. Their regular fried chicken is made with that same crunchy light batter, always juicy and never dry!"

Sal's Nashville Hot Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.4 (83)

"Amazing food! The waffles and tender sliders had jalapeño mixed in to make for an amazing sweet and savory bite. The staff is awesome, letting us sample the newer skewers and giving us complementary chai!"

Arlanderz Chicken Joint

★★★★★ 4.7 (67)

"First of all, the food here is amazing. Hand down some of the best fried chicken and catfish I've had in the DFW area! The pieces are really well fried, flavorful, and juicy. The Mac and cheese was appropriately cheesy and was well seasoned, and the okra was also good (although I wish it could've been a bit better). The portions are big enough to split with another person or save some for a second meal. Don't be fooled, the food is so good but it is rich and heavy! The place itself is super tiny and most people took their food to go. There is a wait to get the food so order in advance. This is not a sit down restaurant or a place to bring a large group. For this purpose, I really wouldn't recommend it for lunch for a group. But if bringing back to place of work, then it's ok. As far as value, I thought it was a bit on the high side, I think I paid around $25 (I tipped although I took away) for lunch. Next time, I would rather order a la carte and share with a group of people."

SmackBird Hot Chicken - Fort Worth

★★★★☆ 4.1 (84) • $$

"The tenders were really good! I got mild and they were exactly mild lol next time I will try a step up. I was expecting different fries based on the pictures I seen here but they were regular which was a bummer for me. I wasn't a fan of the sauce they gave with the tenders but that's just a personal preference as I don't like pickles on my chicken & the sauce had a creamy pickle-y taste. The tenders were perfectly crispy on the outside but juicy on the inside which I loveeedddd!"

Cajun Fish Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (60) • $$

"Had the shrimp jambalaya. Perfect combination of shrimp, andouille, chicken and served over rice. LARGE plate with two large slices of very fresh toasted bread. Of course I had to sample a bowl of red beans and rice, I could have made that my meal. And had to sample the onion rings.... Well I got about 3 before everyone joined in and they were gone. My daughter got the fish and chips. The fish had just the right amount of beer batter on a thick cut of very fresh cod. My wife got the fried shrimp, 6 of them, LARGE butterflied gulf shrimp and she could not finish the plate. Miguel Mercado, the owner, was a very gracious host, serving us himself. Will definitely be back!!"

The Gyro Shop

★★★★★ 4.5 (47)

"We love the Plano location but this one missed the mark for us. The white sauce was not as flavorful and was thicker than it's supposed to be - almost like it had too much mayo. It was easily 85 degrees inside - not what you want on a 95 degree day. We were uncomfortable and just wanted to get out as quickly as possible. I like at the Plano location that they ask how much hot sauce you want as they make it in front of you - not the case here. Just be sure to tell them what you want."

Spice Wok

★★★★★ 4.5 (43)

"We were absolutely not sure what we were getting into, though I am very familiar with Indo-Chinese cuisine. And to tell the truth,very few people can replicate that right amount of spices and spiciness to ensure it is eatable and tasty. Finally found a place that does amazing!!!We got 1. Manchow soup (really tasty!! Absolutely recommended), 2. Lemon Coriander soup (was expecting a fairly mild one, but this is the spiciest one of them all! Beware and know what you are getting into, though I found it very tasty my wife could not eat it haha), 3. Hakka Noodles (Recommended), and 4. Schezwan Fried Rice (very highly recommended)Overall the food was fantastic, we came in on a sunday afternoon and there was no one but we got fabulous service and we had enough left over for two more meals !! Coming back for more for sure!Oh btw they had a ramadan menu and their phones were ringing off the hook and they were turning people away because of reservations and space. That tells you how good the place is!"

Wok N Roll

"Love this place! Called in our order and walked in about 20 minutes later and picked it up. Orange chicken is so delicious and this spot does not disappoint! They also are available for delivery. The owners are extremely friendly and efficient. During this quarantine wok n roll has become a go to place when I don't feel like cooking. They have a very large menu with reasonable prices."

Daddy’s Chicken Shack

★★★★☆ 3.8 (56)

"Today was my third visit. I was hesitant to return as my prior visit sandwiches had chicken smaller than the already small bun, and the spice level didn't add up to its name. I have been seeking a true "Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich Experience." I expressed my concern, "Hey all the pictures on the menu show a large chicken breast sticking out both sides of the sandwich, but my prior orders didn't come close." I was assured that doesn't happen anymore. I ordered 2 Nashville daddys, a spicy daddy sandwiches and mild chicken tenders. All three sandwiches had chicken beyond the bun. The Nashville Daddy, even with the Extra Hot sauce level, still isn't authentic Nashville hot chicken. The sauce on the bun is hot enough to induce a scalp sweat, but the chicken itself is not. I guess the kitchen staff overheard my comments and decided to cake the mild chicken strips in a heavy, hot, dry spice rub. The strips were for my kid, who couldn't eat them at that spice level. I wasn't able to finish them myself, I prefer a hot sauce compared to the heavily caked tenders. See pic. I note that there is not a Daddy's Chicken Shack in Nashville or Tennessee. That might explain my overall disappointment in seeking a true Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich experience here. Not in a hurry to return."

"Best fried chicken in Dallas. Fight me! The guys here are super friendly and the menu is dope. I'd eat here everyday if it would go to my thighs! Not a dine in leave. It's perfect for picking up for a movie night in, perhaps catering for a party. I think they might be on grubhub too! Two Thumbs way up!"

Dat Chicken and Seafood

★★★★☆ 4.2 (43)

"Disappointed ordering breasts via their website for pickup. Subsequently got phone call from Royal Fried Chicken stating only 4 breasts currently available. do you So this is a fried chicken specialty place that cannot stock enough different chicken pieces even in preparation for a weekend afternoon? Really? Three stars awarded for responsive customer contact and not too difficult to get reimbursed on my credit card for the website charge."

The Budlong Southern Chicken - Irving

★★★★☆ 4.1 (44)

"The Budlong Southern Chicken is a fried chicken sandwich chain that serves Nashville Hot chicken sandwiches that uses chicken thighs instead of breast. This is the first location in Texas.My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return)Atmosphere - The Budlong Southern Chicken is located behind Bar Louie in the Toyota Music Factory. Like all restaurants at TMF, try to get street parking, otherwise you have to park in the garage, which can be busy on event days. The restaurant itself is a long, quick serve style restaurant with booths along the sides, tables in the middle, and cool Budlong art and murals on the wall. If only it had better parking.... 1/2 Star.Service - The staff is super nice. We went on a grand opening day where the line was to the door, but the staff were all smiles, were super patient with our orders, and made sure we would enjoy our meals. Like most quick service restaurants, you order, give them your name, then wait for your food to come out. 1 StarFood - I ordered the original Nashville Hot chicken sandwich with Cajun potato salad. Kudos to Budlong because the thigh meat works. The chicken was hot, plump, juicy, and contained a good amount of heat. The soft, spongy bun held the chicken and slaw well. The slaw cooled the heat a little, and the cold, creamy Cajun potato salad cooled it a lot. IMO, it was a perfect paring. I chose the buttermilk ranch. And while I didn't dip my sandwich in it, my teens ate it with their hot, crispy crinkle-cut fries. But the star of my meal was the fried corn bread. Served with sweet butter, who knew boring cornbread could be transformed into such greatness? The only downer was the chocolate pie. The dough was very chewy and the chocolate a bit gooey. Otherwise, a great meal! 1 1/2 Stars.Will I Return? - Yes. While I'm not a fan of the parking at Toyota Music Factory, I'm happy that I now have a great local option (I live in Irving) for Nashville Hot Chicken. I'll be back for that fried corn bread! 1 Star"

AJ's Hot Chicken

★★★★☆ 4 (45)

"Came here around 1 AM during the Grand Opening weekend. I was expecting to try the mozzarella sticks covered in Hot Cheetos, but was told they only had a limited menu. I ended up getting the AJ Sammy's meal, and even met one of the co-owners as I was eating the food. He seemed very passionate about the business and indicated he would be here everyday. When I did enter though a hour before closing time, the restaurant was half full. The cashier told me that if I liked spice, I should get a level 4. I did, and I regretted getting it because it was pretty spicy for me. I was really grateful for the free ice cream cone. Recommend you give these guys a try!"

Royal Fried Chicken and Seafood

★★★★☆ 4.3 (31)

"1st the prices on the menu are for cash purchases only. There is a percentage increase charge if you pay with credit card. I was told after I purchased and had to inquire. Just add a sign by the register or let consumer know before purchase. Got the fried catfish and it was good. Condiment style tarter sauce similar to ketchup packs. Will try chicken and update."

Bo's Chicken & Seafood

★★★★☆ 4.3 (28)

"This is what I consider hole in the wall place. Excellent fried chickens, can't beat the prices too. Way better than golden chick and cheaper. I hit up this spot probably once a week for lunch. Ask for extra seasoning on them chicken."

Big Boi’s Chicken-N-Waffles

★★★★★ 4.6 (23)

"FoodThe food here is absolutely amazing, it's a location where everything has a different taste and you'll need to visit several times to get a full idea of how it all taste. The portions are BIG I doubt you would be able to sample multiple things at once unless you're taking a single bite of each. The tenders are really big, the burgers are big also. Price wise the average is about $9-$10 for smaller order sizes and up to $25 for larger ones. ServiceIt's a small business attached to a convenience store so there's not a huge employee presence like a franchise location. There are usually 2 people working, both are very kind and will take your order and have good conversation with you. They're always kind to me each time I come and sometimes they're throw in small extras to make the meals even better.AmbianceLike I mentioned previously, it's attached to a convenience store so people are in and out, but their section has about 4 small tables setup where you can sit and eat and if you want a drink just take a few steps across the floor to the store cooler and grab something. Not a typical restaurant dedicated to their business, but the functionality and taste of food makes the ambiance irrelevant.Definitely check them out!"

Louisiana Famous Fried Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.5 (31) • $

"I love specials! And this place had several. They had so many that they couldn't fit on the wall and were streamed from the counter as a continuance. Got 2 pieces of fish (bass) and 3 pieces of chicken with fries for $8. Win!The fish was so fresh and flaky, it was like eating the clean version of catfish. The batter wasn't all thick and tore away with the fish, also seasoned well. The chicken was great. Again, seasoned great... the skin (I'm a sucker for fried chicken skin and if you say you're not, you're a liar lol) was damn good :) even the fries were better than McDonalds fries in the 90s. Bruh, get you some... NOW!"
