Mike's Chicken

Tenders better than Canes! And fried chicken better than Gus. The tenders are very juicy and the spicy ones are really good. They have a variety of sauces, the mikes sauce is similar to canes sauce and I enjoyed the gravy.The chicken is also super juicy, once again the spicy is where it's at. My only complaint were the sides. They were just okay. We liked the creamed corn and fries the best. The mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were very disappointing. Order ahead of time as the wait is no joke. They allow to order online.

Looked at the Top 100 Yelp list and ranking at #51 was Mikes Chicken & I was in Dallas for the weekend so I had to tap in, (cmon it's fried chicken). Mike's Chicken is a solid spot for quality fried chicken with some on point flavors and a homemade touch. I ordered the 3-piece dark chicken (leg & thigh) with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, biscuit, and mac & cheese, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was incredibly crispy and juicy, with just the right amount of crunch. It seemed to be flash-fried, creating a perfectly crisp exterior without feeling overly greasy. The meat inside was tender, moist, and flavorful which leads me to believed the chickened was sitting in brine well before frying.The Yukon Gold mashed potatoes were a standout. They were creamy, buttery, and had a smooth yet slightly textured consistency, making them feel slightly homemade rather than overly processed. That honey buttered biscuit though tasted homemade! The mac & cheese was decent, with melted Gruyère Cheese, but it wasn't the most memorable part of the meal.Service was fairly quick, even during peak hours, and the staff were friendly, although I think the staff should have given me more recommendations about the menu and what to order. Though I will say my order came out faster than my mother n laws order even though I ordered first. I'm not sure how that happened, but it tells there may have been an error in their system. The food was fresh and hot, which added to the overall experience. The highlight for me, though, was the house-made sauces. I made sure to try one of every sauce except for the gravy, and they all had distinct flavors that complemented the chicken well. My absolute favorite was the buffalo sauce--it had the perfect balance of heat, tanginess, and a smooth consistency that coated the chicken perfectly without overpowering it.The pricing was fair for the quality, making it a great value for what you get. I forgot to mention the parking is TIGHT. It's one medium sized lot that has a lot of traffic. I would try to get there early or you might be having to find parking a few blocks down! Nonetheless, I would visit Mikes Chicken again.

While on my mini vacay, a fellow yelp elite told me about this spot. Upon entering, the place was packed with people coming in and out...extremely busy, however, I did not have to wait long to place my order. You have to place your order at the counter, which I placed to go. The young lady who took my order seemed slightly new, however, she was able recommend sides as requested. I chose the green beans, Mac n cheese, and spicy fried wing plate. Now, she said it was not spicy...but it was for me. I was not able to finish one of my wings. Nonetheless, the sides were actually cool and had some flavor. The green beans a little too much pepper. The Mac n cheese I would recommend getting it as a side order because from the pictures it appears to be baked more in a separate dish. The parking is limited and tight just FYI. The chicken is fried in peanut oil and has a crunchy flaky coating. It's not the style I prefer, but it was good if you do like that style. The vibe is cool, I liked the wall art and it's very basic and to the point. Overall, I think they were good and definitely worth trying out!

MIKE'S CHICKEN makes it a point to say that they are not a fast food restaurant, which, as you can guess, has pros and cons.Pro: The food is made to orderCom: It will not be fast.I would say this is casual dining.Guys, MIKE'S CHICKEN is one of the best fried chickens out there... and for a more affordable price too. Crispy on the outside, fully cooked, not greasy, wonderfully seasoned.The biscuits are fluffy on the inside and crusty on the outside... and it has some sort of glaze too. Yummy!The chicken strips are also great.The fries are good too, but seriously, I would seriously rather get the biscuits.The creamed corn is also very good.But seriously, get the biscuits.There is going to be a bit of a wait so don't come hungry -- come before you get to the "hangry" stage.Unsweetened iced tea is great. Sweetened is even better.They have this powder spice you can sprinkle over everything for extra flavor.There is a lot of parking spaces.

Mike's Chicken is a local DFW gem that serves THE BEST chicken strips in the area. The OG location off Maple has transformed multiple times, and the latest iteration, while still connected to a laundromat, is a full restaurant with plenty of seating. This is my long overdue review update.My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return)Atmosphere - I've seen Mike's Chicken transform from a side project to a cult sensation. The original location has been fully remodeled. Instead of having expanded seating, the owners have created a large, open-space fast casual location that now caters to everyone, not just people picking up To Go Orders. Be warned, during busy dining times there will be a line. You can't rush greatness. 1 Star.Service - The sign under the menu will set your expectations. "Mike's Chicken is not a fast-food restaurant. Your food is made to order. Please be patient." Good things come to those who wait. The staff is very friendly, they will take your order and phone number, then you'll get a text and they'll call out your number. It's a very efficient system. 1 Star.Food - Everyone is entitled to their opinions, including me. So, I will say it now. Mike's Chicken has the best chicken strips in the world. Full Stop. Print it in 3-inch headlines, etc. The reason is the chicken comes out piping hot and juicy with a super crispy crunch. I prefer dipping them in gravy. When I'm feeling dangerous, I'll order Mike's Sandwich. This is a chicken strip sandwich topped with homemade slaw, pickles, and a soft brioche bun. Every bite has amazing chicken strips, but now the slaw and bun add extra tangy flavor and soft texture to my bite. I'm also a big fan of their sides, including their baked beans and creamed corn. 2 Stars.Will I Return? - Yes. When I first discovered Mike's, it was a side hustle from the owners of a laundromat. The chicken was so good they added seating, but it wasn't enough, so I always ordered to go (during COVID too). Today, Mike's Chicken has added a large open dining area like its second location off Forest. No matter the location, I'll be back. 1 Star.

Craving juicy fried chicken.... This place has it for you! Short line and the front counter staff was patient and got us taken care of.. A very warming friendly atmosphere. I could see this being a busy time on a Monday and it was ....... Got seated. Grease was about to be flying.... napkins on the table helped. All the food came out tasty and hot! Our order had chicken tenders, fries, Mac and cheese. The chicken is so decadent!!!!!!!!!!! We had leftovers and I am Pleased with the portion and the jam packed flavors of all the food. The food came out after being cooked to order. Thank you for being awesome -oh so yummy. If in the area in the future we will definitely visit again. The whole staff should all be commended!!!Build one in Oklahoma City!!! (NW quadrant)The girls destroyed their plates!Also biscuits were a big hit!Respectfully, Bryan Yukon, Oklahoma

This review is for Feb 12th. I ordered the three piece tenders (spicy) with fries and baked beans. The tenders were seasoned well and had a nice spice to them. I ordered whatever their signature sauce is on the side to dip, along with honey mustard. I did not care too much for the signature sauce or the baked beans, but the fries and tenders were definitely good. I may try to return the next time I fly down and try something different.

Still amazing after all these years! I love the renovated interior with so much more seating.Exceptional chicken that I love treating myself to. Bone in is the way to go if you have the time to wait for it, but the tenders don't slack off either. Really can't go wrong with either option!

All the reviews here and other social media made try this placed. Placed an online order for 3 Piece spicy tenders with side of baked beans and fries.Tenders were juicy and tasted great, although spicy is not spicy enough. Baked beans were great, fries were meh!I would go back and try the other leg and thigh next time.

Went here for a work lunch and I just have no notes. Mike just gets it right. I ordered the 3 piece spicy and for $12 you really can't beat it. It comes with two sides and a honey butter biscuit. I've tried a few sides so far and the fries (I know very basic) have probably been my favorite. Will DEFINITELY be returning. Note: Parking lot is very smallIf you are in a rush, I would recommend ordering online prior to your arrival for easy pickup.
