Las Brasas Charcoal Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.1 (23) • $

"After seeing how popular the Westchase location (#1) is, I had high hopes for the second opening of Las Brasas along Bellaire just outside of Hillcroft. I've been missing my weekly Peruvian jaunts in NYC so this was as highly anticipated for me as anything. The place is clean and feels like an ideal spot for a casual meal. It looked and smells new, with brightness from the natural light, with plenty of rotisserie chickens spinning in the background. So far, everything is looking good.I ordered their claim to fame, a half pollo a la brasa, and was ready my food notalgia to kick in. My chicken, while juicy and tender, was a salt bomb. I tried coating it in the aji sauce and mixing it with the rice in hopes of enjoying it. Strangely, aji makes *everything* better (#2) but this wasn't the resolution. The fries were crispy, but the let down was real. I chalked it up to new establishment jitters.My next go-around included much more variety: chaufa chicken fried rice, a whole chicken, lomo saltado (#3), tallarin verde, ceviche, tallarin saltado, and even their anticucho kebab. Minus the chicken, which was mildly better this time, most things were bland. For the tallarin verde with bistec, I was kind of blown away at how much gristle and how tough the meat was. Once again, I drowned my chicken in their huacatay (aji verde) and it didn't make much of a difference. The lomo saltado was also mad salty and the ceviche had plenty of citrus, but was still disappointing given the price. Even the cilantro rice was dry. The food is 2 stars at best, but I'll give them 3 because the customer service, initial deals, and store location was a thumbs up.Before I could give it another shot, they went ahead and closed, albeit temporarily. I am not sure if they're going to reopen, but I hope they do. I'm not done with satisfying this Peruvian craving palate.___________(#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/las-brasas-charcoal-chicken-houston-2(#2) Without a doubt, if done properly, aji verde is one of the world's greatest sauces.(#3) The national dish of Peru and the name of my future pet."

"I don't come here often but decided to stop by after working out at the gym. I ordered the beyond meat chicken burrito. To my surprise it was delicious! I couldn't tell that it wasn't real chicken at all! So good!I came back later that week and ordered two piece chicken. And it was not fresh at all! I was so upset because I had a great experience the first time. They gave me a dry breast and a half of a wing. How you give someone half of a wing and not notice? Lol So my experiences were completely different. One was great and the other sucked :-( :-( :-("

Howdy Hot Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.8 (198) • $$

"Howdy you make everything better when you feel like crap? You come here!I wanted pretty badly to like Howdy Hot Chicken, and in some ways I do like it, and I think it's one of the better hot chicken places I've been to outside Tennessee, but their hot is a little too hot in an uncomfortable way but not a tasty way. That's weird for me to say, I have everything far more spicy than 99% of people can handle, trust me (it's Barbi's influence mainly).Also the sauces are a little too sweet for me. And don't get me started on the prices, although the large portions of chicken are pretty nice. But making the sandwiches sugary is something that the massive expansion of hot chicken places by hipsters has done, and I don't appreciate it.I want this stuff, but I need to have this stuff in Tennessee, and so do you, to see what it's supposed to taste like. Hattie Be's for example. It was never sweet and it shouldn't be sweet. I don't know why everyone has to corrupt and pollute the recipe of traditional stuff around the country with massive doses of high fructose corn syrup.Other than that it's very tasty sandwich, good quality chicken, piping hot, and large and filling, although service at this location was not very nice to me at all, and the prices are pretty high.A four star chain with some one star employees constantly messing up very expensive sandwiches, hence the 3 stars. The Shepherd location is much more reliable."

"Stopped by after our game and it was quick seating, a few people mostly waiting for to-go. Super friendly staff. We ordered the taquitos, stir fry beef and half chicken with rice. All food came out hot and fresh. Everything was good and flavorful. Small menu but they know what they are doing with the dishes on there."

"Having been to the 1st location off Eldridge, I was so excited to see a 2nd location in Katy. The fresh roasted chicken and the sides are A+, just as good as the original location.I've only ordered the full family meal to-go which comes with a whole chicken with arepas and 3 sides:Chicken: juicy, tender, fresh, spiced to perfectionArepas: crispy and great with the sauce providedRice & Beans: all in one container, excellent! Fried Yucca: my favorite side, I get 2 orders! The green sauce is very very good! I use it with the chicken, as well.Will be back!!"

bb.q Chicken - Katy

★★★★☆ 4.2 (223) • $$

"Pro: Great chicken to be had! In a search for some fried "yard bird" in the outskirts of Houston, I was absolutely delighted to find this place! BB.Q offers an amazing Korean twist on an American staple. The Golden Original Chicken was fried nicely without being too greasy. Not to be outdone was the Bulgogi Fries. This order of marinated meat sitting over some good ol' sticks of potatoes is sure to stick to one's ribs! And for the chicken wing enthusiasts who prefer their bird on the saucy and spicy side, the Spicy Galbi Wings were just that: saucy and spicy! Not only did I enjoy every bite, I returned to the place the same day to savor the flavor! Yes, I liked it that much!Con: Ordering online versus over the phone for takeout actually costs a slight bit more due to service charges. Meh...small price to pay. Bottom Line: Twice on one day...yes! I did that...and might do it again!"

"I've had my Fil of Chick Fil A, honestly.Located in Northwest Crossing right along with side of Highway 290 that heads for Austin, you will find this pretty decent Chick-fil-A location which usually has long lines and long wait times and leads into the highway Service Road, and helps to jam up this whole parking lot which is a problem.I find the food to be crazy overrated but at least some of the people were friendly."

Jax Burgers Fries & Shakes

★★★★☆ 4 (31)

"Really like this place. The grilled Cajun chicken sandwich and Cajun fries were both great. The only issue was the chicken was a bit tough, I had to hold on to the chicken to keep it from coming out of the bread. I'm definitely coming back to try their other sandwiches. The Cajun fries were some of the best I've had."

★★★★☆ 4.1 (25) • $$

"My friends are doing a series of chickenings: we try all the local HOT chicken places. So far, this is my favorite. I can't move away from the loaded fries. They're cheesy with plenty of chicken. It's a food truck, but the food is fantastic. It takes a little while to get the food, and there are only 2 pic nick tables, so it's best to take it to go or wait until winter."

Angry Mom's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (60) • $$

"Food is ok, concept is jacked up. I placed my order at the kiosk cause I wanted to see all the options of the other vendors since it was my first time going. The employees are nice but they don't explain things well and so the whole process of getting your food and ordering is vague if it's your first time. I wanted to use a 20% yelp checkin code for first timers but there was nothing to type in. It took about 20 min for my food to come out. It was good, but I've had better. I will say the sauces were tasty so I poured that all over my chicken. Don't think I'll make the drive back out here for the food."

Main Bird Hot Chicken

★★★★☆ 4 (28)

"We visited this location during their grand opening when everything was 50% off so we tried the cluck it up fries, dirty mac fries, chicken tenders, and bird wrap. I'm completely obsessed with the dirty mac fries - not only is it an absolute steal, but it's a crazy large portion and every single component is delicious. I end up eating this over 3-4 days and to put in perspective how great this place is, I've had this menu item 3 times now and they only just opened a few weeks ago. I docked a star because their bird wrap is pretty terrible. The lettuce is soggy, and I'm not sure why they use ranch instead of their comeback sauce. Truly seemed like a miss to have this as a "healthy" option because it doesn't blend in with the rest of their menu."

★★★☆☆ 3 (29)

"We called this location & found that they are still not open for dine in seating. So we placed an order for pick up. They have a very small notice on the door that says you have to go thru the drive thru for all pick ups. We maneuvered thru the parking lot to get to the drive thru window. The people were friendly & was fast picking up & paying for the food. Picked up the food & headed home. It wasn't as delicious as last time. The food wasn't bad....just very average tasting. Egg rolls were very mediocre. Crab puffs & General Cho was ok. The shrimp was ok. They may be short staffed at this time? We'll stay away for awhile and then try again at a later date."

"While the quality of Chick-fil-A has gone down in the recent years, my last couple of trips were fine. I feel the chicken breast has shrunk from what it used to be when Daddy CFA was alive. I went with my usual Chick-fil-A spicy chicken sandwich and a 12 piece nugget meal. The nuggets were pretty good and the french fries were also on point. Once again I ended up ordering another thing of French fries as I felt the first batch wasn't filled properly. I used reward points for the separate order of FFWith all the fast food choices out there I still think Chick-fil-A stands out the most and hence that's the go to place when all else fails."

Louisiana Famous Fried Chicken

"On Thurs. @ 5pm, first time here. Prices seem a good value.Staff were polite , helpful. Cashier said would cost me $0.75 to substitute Wing for Drumstick; enough sign said those pieces cost the same. I have never had Fish that thin? More crispy coating than fish ! Wish they offered tartar sauce.Drumstick was cooked properly, meaty & tasted OK.Thigh mostly "meatless, Back" and was dry, burnt taste ( not sure if under heat lamps too long or in fryer too long?Place is well lit, bright. Tile floor felt sticky to my shoes.Roll and the Mashed potatoes & gravy were pretty good ; a bit of skins included.Food is very mild, v. little spicyness..I would not take a date here. I might return if hungry and in the neighborhood."

"I enjoyed the Reza Specialty R2.....a skewer of ground beef and a skewer of chicken barg, the chicken is marinated and barbecued, grilled tomatos, bell pepper, onion and basmati rice mixed with cranberry and saffron, and a side of hummus. My wife and I followed the great reviews here. Right after we ordered, they brought out a plate with sliced radishes, some cheese and various leafy greens like mint A giant pita bread with a couple kinds of seeds hit the table at the same time. My wife ordered the F2 Grilled jumbo shrimp that came with grilled tomato, bell pepper, onion, french fries and a house salad. We thought the shrimp were tasty but a tad overcooked. The star of this meal was the chicken and beef and the stellar hummus. We'll be back."

The Cookshack

"A buddy of mine has been telling me about this place for the past year, and I wish I would've came sooner. The food is great, the customer service is great, and I really enjoyed my meal here.Food: the cook shack chicken sandwich was absolutely amazing. Made fresh and fried to perfection. I went with medium, and boy. I sure am glad I did because medium is quite hot. I like spicy food trust me, but this medium for most people will probably seem hot or extra hot because it is very spicy, but let me tell you what it's simply amazing. The medium is a perfect blend of spice and flavor. Not too overbearing it's just right. The sandwich was amazing. The mac & cheese was amazing. The cookie ice cream sandwich was top-notch. I was very impressed with the food. I will definitely make Cook shack part of my rotation whenever I see them.The customer service was simply the best. As soon as you walk in your greeted with the nice young lady work on the cashier booth. She took our order with a smile, and was very friendly. Also, there was a really nice black lady. I wish I would've gotten your name but she stopped by her table. Check on it several times. She was so nice and went out of our way to tell usabout the restaurant because we had a few questions about some things. Man I really wish I would've got her names so the managers could let her know that she's doing an amazing job. From top to bottom I was very impressed with this location. Great food and great customer service. I'll be back soon."

Krisp Korean Fried Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.3 (295) • $$

"After walking in Terry Hershey park on a Sunday evening in late April, something in my taste buds hankered for some KFC (Korean Fried Chicken). I don't know how it came about, guess it was due to being near Spring Branch which contains a multitude of KFC options. With so many to chose from, my randomly decided on this one due to the reviews.After placing an order online, I rolled here to scoop up my order. Upon walking in, everything was ready for me (thumbs up to the staff for that). I pondered as to why the interior of the dining area was on the darker side; maybe people like eating their chicken in shadowy areas? After snapping out of my own thoughts, I got back home and unwrapped everything to dig in.I went with half original and half creamy onion based on the YELP photos. Also went with an order of fried dumplings as a warm up. Probably could've done without the dumplings and just ordered more chicken or a different starter since they didnt' taste that special to me. Now the chicken on the other hand was crispy, greasy, juicy, salty, all the profiles you want in fried chicken. The Korean kind does these at the highest level which is why people are obsessed with it. Chicken also has mini fried rice cakes mixed in which compliment the chicken well. The creamy onion came on the side so I kept pouring/dipping the chicken into it since it's like an addiction. Sweet creams are made of these!I plan on trying other flavors next time such as honey butter and spicy soy and other apps such as their fries, corn cheese, and coleslaw. So far, a good impression."

Urban Bird Hot Chicken

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (6)

"They need to improve on their customer service and getting orders out in a timely manner. I placed an order online and was not greeted when I walked in. I asked about my order and it took a minute to find out it wasn't ready. Then they didn't have the sweet potato fries which I asked for. I waited for about 10 minutes and wasn't offered a drink or anything for having to wait extra for my meal. The lady finally gave me my food and told me I might want to check it to make sure it was correct?? Uh, aren't you supposed to do that?? So disappointed and I really like the food."

"This was a delivery option at a hotel close to the airport. I have never eaten at or from this establishment so decided Why not it has a 3 rating on Yelp! We were ordering late and had a only few options. This was the some of greasiest fried chicken I have ever had I think, and I liked it! The taste was good although very salty. My companion wanted an extra large order of the mashed potatoes with gravy bits. I am a bit of a mashed potato snob, and these were ugh boxed or otherwise not homemade. Their were no bits in the gravy! Highly disappointed by the mashed potatoes. Companion loved them! It came with a roll that my companion enjoyed as well."

Hartz Chicken Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (34) • $

"The chicken here has been consistently good for years now* The okra is My favorite side and the rolls are like heaven when not over baked hot out the oven..The buffet is a great concept and offers a variety of items like mac and cheese, green beans, fruit, chicken pieces, tenders, fried fish and more but the only problem is at this location (I've only eaten the buffet at this location) the owner or whoever the lady is that manages this location waits until the pans are bottom dry before changing it out out You'll have to ask for chicken when it runs out which is ok bc it will be fresh but why is She policing the buffet so hard You'll see but it's worth the maybe $10 meal or less with a drink and the kids buffet is like $6They also have a spicy version but it needs improvement it's overcooked or battered wrong causing it to be dark and dryFish is sometimes good but the shrimp are best of the sea I wouldn't eat it as the fish is almost suspect Chicken and tenders are good when hot and fresh as well as the livers but I'll take some wings and okra and be happy Make sure You get an extra roll*"

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (45)

"I've never met a Raising Cane's I didn't like but I have met one that continually catches me by surprise (#1) which is this location, which is just west of Katy. There are a lot of issues here, but most of it stems with their order mishaps, slow service, and portion sizes. All of these things will eventually lead to the theory that the chain is going downhill. The good news is not every location is like this one.I'd ding them harder but I still think overall, they do a solid job with the chicken, which is mostly Cane's quality. There are occasions where the pieces seem smaller or were slightly overfried, but lately they've been doing better with consistent offerings. Not a fan of the significant price hikes as of late, but just about every place is getting more expensive.The glaring issue is going to be their service. From mean mugs to slow drive-thrus (#2), I've also been the recipient of orders were a tender or two was missing. I've been avoiding this location specifically for awhile, but my recent order was solid all the way. (#3) Only time will tell if they can keep it up.______________(#1) Puzzled. Confused.(#2) This is something RC has always been good about, but not this one.(#3) Staff overhaul? Here's hoping."
