Delicious chicken but very expensive meal for what you get. I guess you pay for the ambience. I'll go, but you gotta pay.

Was craving comfort food and Babe's has that!!! Ordering was easy online and I was able to do curbside pickup. My order was correct and hot, the service was great and I'm home enjoying my meal watching some football games!! read more

I had to be in cedar hill for a meeting and originally was going to go to Sam's pizza but as we walked to Sam's I saw Babes and it was a no brainer! Oddly when my coworker and I walked in it was dead maybe about 3 tables busy which is odd because Babes locations are usually packed at lunch! Anyway ordered the smoke chicken it was good but I think I should have ordered the fried chicken instead. The biscuits were great as usual. The side were great and the salad was chilled! Enjoyed the meal! Chicken 7 outa 10 was pretty good Biscuits 10 outa 10 yum! Corn 6 outa 10 Salad 6 outa 10 Location 8 outa 10 food came fast I would come back read more

Best chicken outside of your grammas house . Good chicken fried steak ! Kids love those chicken strips Let's talk about salad and side ... That salad is my fav with lots of pepper . Mash taters 20 out 20 stars Corn same 20 out of 20 Deserts we don't know cause we are all full every time read more

From the salad (iceberg lettuce) and freshly baked biscuit to the delicious and well-seasoned sides (green beans, cream corn and made-from scratch mashed potatoes and gravy), to the large, perfectly prepared pieces of fried chicken , this was one of the most enjoyable dining experiences (any cuisine!) that I've had in a very long time. My server, Allison, was extremely attentive and very friendly, the restaurant was clean and charming (think comfortable homestyle), and the decor was nice but not overdone. The only drawbacks? Price is $$$, the "salad" is only iceberg lettuce (no tomatoes or "real" greens), and the lighting was a tad dim for my taste. But the food? I'm not too chicken to say, "Eat more Chick'n!" read more

Babes is always great, awesome atmosphere and food... however, this location changed their green beans. Before, the green beans had great taste, almost a bit roasted. I could eat the whole bowl myself. However, now, they remind me of canned Thanksgiving green beans that everyone skips over. Please bring the OG green beans or offer both! read more

Yes the chicken, mash potatoes, skillet corn, skillet green beans, biscuit and salad with vinegrette is always good....but how they sneak peach cobbler on the menu, and ain't tell me. That's my fav pie. read more

Babes in Cedar Hill is a place my grandsons requested when they came to stay with us for a couple of weeks.Great food, the best service. Every time. read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I absolutely would. This was hands down the nastiest, most poorly run Babe's I've ever stepped foot in. The hostess sat my family down and then... nothing. Fifteen minutes of complete silence. No greeting. No drinks. No acknowledgment. I didn't take it personally at first, until we watched the table behind us get greeted and served while we were still being ignored. I finally had to flag down a waitress just to ask who our server even was. She walked over to the staff huddle (where everyone was conveniently standing around the drink station), and someone eventually came over and said, "Sorry, I didn't see you guys." The absolute lack of care, urgency, or accountability was unreal. And they really would've expected a 20%+ tip for that level of service? Laughable. We got up to leave and happened to pass the manager on the way out. I explained what happened, hoping at least he would show some concern. Nope. He was just as pitiful and disengaged as his staff. Honestly, we should've walked out the moment I sat down in a chair covered in chicken crumbs. Dirty, inattentive, and completely unprofessional from start to finish. Do yourself a favor and go to another location, or better yet, eat literally anywhere else. This place is horrible. Just horrible. read more

Literally walking out of that place and just saying I loved it. I've been here before and loved it, but I'm choosing to write a review now due to one thing. That one thing is a person, her name is Lily. She was very polite and outgoing. She said I looked like a Disney princess when she's literally a MODEL. If someone can somehow get me in touch with her I'd love that, I bet we'd be good friends. Adored her vibe and personality! She def deserves a raise, even though I bet she has already gotten one because she's that good. Oh and the food was good, as always. P.S. I love the butter lol. read more

I had heard about this place from family members for a while & decided to try it on Sunday after church. We were checked in & told the waiting time would be 35-40 minutes & decided to wait it out in their courtyard/backyard. The courtyard/backyard was very cute & whimsical with fans hanging with attached misters. Since it was super hot & extremely humid, those fans actually made a huge difference. The decor outside gave our eyes so much to look at & talk about while we waited. By the time we knew it, our name was called...it was only a 20-min wait time! The ambiance was dark & lightly lit & made for a nice hum of sound even though there a lot of people...families in there. It gave such a family vibe that it immediately settled our hearts. It was wonderful!!! We were seated & within 5-mins our drink order was taken & shortly after that, our food order. Our hostess was amazing & checked on us several times. Also, other hosts/hostessess checked on our table as they past by after helping their tables ! Plus all of them were ultra hospitable Everything was served family style with a salad & biscuits for starters, unlimited veggies & select meat options. We chose the fried catfish, fried chicken & smoked chicken & all the meat was absolutely DELICIOUS !!! The food came out super quick! The fried chicken was seasoned very well & had a delicious crunch to it & was cooked perfectly on the inside. The fried catfish was amazing & ranked top 3 of the fried catfish we have eaten in the past 3 years in Texas! My hubby absolutely the smoked chicken! The veggies were all seasoned well! We're ordered their tart cherry pie for dessert & it came topped with ice cream ! It was very tart & the ice cream balanced it out VERY well! Overall, this was such a pleasantly delicious & family-vibbing experience !!! It was much better than we imagined & we will definitely be back & bring others to share in the experience. Thank you Babe's for a wonderful time!!! We enjoyed ourselves so much that we forgot to take pics! read more

Can't ever go wrong with babe's,good food and good service. Our waitress Vallery was very nice, attentive and gave us outstanding customer service. Amazing read more

They changed the chicken tenders.... Not for the better. Sad sad sad times. Why change something so wonderful!!!!

Great dinner at our favorite Babe's in Cedar Hill. I don't think there is much argument that Babes chicken is on another level. It's simply the best around. What made today's visit even better was our server, Jasmine. Excellent service, friendly and super attentive. Love Babes, and team members like Jasmine are part of what makes it special. read more

I love Babe's! The closest one near us now is the one in Cedar Hill. It had mixed reviews and I was nervous to go to this location with guests from out of town BUT, it was great in every way. It was our guest's favorite spot on their visit to TX. read more

Heard lots of good things about this place. Sadly, I was underwhelmed. The fried chicken was salty. Biscuits were pretty good. Everything else was just regular. My order was to-go so I can't rate the service. read more

The service was soo slow. Our waitress needed a waitress. She gave us really small portions and the Smoke Chicken... was a light tan color! The skin on the thigh was really chewy... like it was under cooked. Used to be one of my favs, not now. read more

Love Babes. Great place to take "out of towners." Had a family event there and it was great and so fun.

Fun atmosphere, great chicken! This was a fun place to go. The chicken was good, server was sweet. You choose your meat/ entree, and the salad and sides are endless, served family style. Be aware, vegetarians/ the salad is just lettuces with a dressing. Biscuits are phenomenal, sides are so so. Green beans are mushy, mashed potatoes are thin and sticky, corn is pretty good. They do a fun birthday song that includes a chicken hat, haha read more

Celebrated my birthday there , dinner was delicious the server she was attentive and nice as well will definitely be visiting again soon read more

Babe's Chicken Dinner House - Salad - Chicken Shop Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

positives: Great Family Style sides, excellent world class service, amazing biscuits n honey n gravy. An occasional wait staff Karaoke. Negatives: Smoke chicken is dry and bloody and rubbery. tasted like grilled chicken, not smoked. The fried chicken has no flavor, nor seasonings. fix: marinate the chicken the day before, then toss in flour and seasoning, then dip again in egg and butter milk, then rebatter again, then fry. If are known for your chicken, then it should be top notch. The Pies are runny, and saugy. fix: allow the pies to defrost in the fridge. not pop in a microwave to defrost and serve. please add peach cobbler ( a southern tradition) and a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the menu. The atmosphere is too dark per no windows. Add Chicken and Waffle and bottomless mimosas on Sat and Sun brunch. addd Seasoned Brussels Sprouts as a side. add Garlic to the mash. These are simple, inexpensive, obtainable improvements. Good luck. read more

We just had the best service and food at the Cedar Hill location. Fast, fresh food, swift service (Nadia was the best), and warm comforting ambiance. Cedar Hill Babes Chicken- we had the following: Chicken Tenders Fried Catfish Hickory Smoked Chicken read more

I ordered the smooked chicken for the first time. It was ok but not as tasty as their fried chicken. Sides were good and the biscuits were fresh and tasty. The doubled price hike was an unexpected surprise. My total bill was around $20. The atmosphere is still the same, southern family friendly with the jukebox choice of music. read more

We were returning from a field trip with a 2 year old when we knew we had to get him fed. After living in the metroplex for nearly 20 years, I am familiar with Babe's and know better. FOOD: Standard fare, same fare, same formula for decades. Thick, salty, crusted fried chicken. Mashed potatoes, buttered corn, overdone green beans, bland gravy, great biscuits and cold lettuce for a salad. ATMOSPHERE: Same, think Cracker Barrel on crack. Pandemic seating was not well-adhered to, as I had to ask for a different table for distance. SERVICE: This is what would have gotten 5 stars--our waitress, Alexis R. Was great! Told us her name, checked on us at all the right times and got our check fast. TIP: Babe's owners--please lose the frigging plastic bags for leftovers. For this reason alone, I vow to never visit a Babe's again. Too much plastic in the world and I paid for the darn food, we didn't get refills and I should be able to have a second meal that doesn't look like a stomach churn! read more

Food, Service & Ambiance all fabulous! The salad dressing is absolutely wonderful. Chicken, Barbecue and the biscuits are all exceptional too! read more

This place will have you wanting to take a nap after you eat here! Family style dining open concept inside a large shack like building. The service was very prompt and they kept it simple with your food and drink choices. Don't ask for a menu cause your server will tell you. I highly recommend getting the catfish and fried chicken very savory and not over seasoned. The sides aren't bad reminiscent of your grandma's cooking. Definitely a great place to take a large family gathering or any other event. Ohhh....If you walk away still Hungry you must have five stomachs. read more

DO NOT GO expecting to have a nice quiet experience. They allow large ROWDY groups to yell, clap, and dance in the narrow paths between tables. I thought it was a restaurant only not an entertainment venue. Their acoustics are terrible and even when they are not packed, it is pretty hard to converse with your table's guests. After speaking to manager he did comp our meal, and I really did feel sorry for the wait staff that had to work around all the rude customers Sunday night. read more

Babes food is equivalent to a heavenly dinner yet sinfully delicious!! Undefeated flavor, freshness and service... your meal comes with all-you-can-eat sides: Salad Mashed potatoes & gravy Creamed corn Biscuits & honey Green beans Plus your choice of meat (fried chicken tenders are superb). Honey mustard is so good you can drink it. Our server Lilly was spectacular, positive, high energy and helpful. All around win! read more

Everything was good! Although I was disappointed that they took my favorite dessert off the menu -- Lemon meringue. You need to bring it back! read more

Such a cute restaurant! I had heard about Babe's since I moved to Dallas, but wasn't picturing this. I am so thrilled to know this company decides to place their restaurants in cute, downtown like locations. The location here in Cedar Hill is just precious. The restaurant offers 5-7 choices of meat. Choose you own. All the sides come family style to share with whoever you're eating with. The sides are corn, green beans, mashed potatoes, a salad, and biscuits. In addition, you can order a slice of pie as dessert. The meat can be taken to-go once you leave, but the sides cannot be. The to-go container is just a plastic bag, lol. They give so much meat that you will definitely need to take some to go. Everything was really tasty. I was only disappointed in two things: you can't choose your sides. What I stated above is what you get. Also, the fried chicken was a bit greasy. Overall, I recommend and will be back! Service was great and yum! I love me some country cooking :) read more

For stupid suckers!!! No flavor! Old chicken old corn old green beans! The only thing was the biscuits!

Love the food. Favorite fried chicken we always stop in Dallas. We always get the chicken and biscuits.

LOL. I am not a very good food blogger! I did not take one photo! It is a family chicken and fish joint! It is design to over feed you! They succeed Everytime. So what made it different today that I had to tell you about? FAITH!!!!!! Our little server did the best job ever. I don't know her from Adam and she is not family. She is just our lucky day. She smiled from minute one, brewed fresh coffee for me, and was checking on us regularly. She made us fill very special among the two hundred guest I counted coming and going. I hope you are so lucky when you come to try it out. read more

Wonderful food, atmosphere, and staff! Their sodas are not name brand and tastes funny in my opinion, but that's the only downside. Hubby & I left full and satisfied! read more

Great country atmosphere, every dish was delicious from the sides to the main course, the staff were on point with their speed and assistance, endless sides that are complementary it's a great place to eat highly recommend! read more

I have not been in years and will say I will probably never go back. The food quality was poor and portions were extremely small for the amount charged. The smoked chicken left me feeling like I was on a forced diet. I think it was the size of a pigeon, almost. The green beans were burnt and bitter. The mashed potatoes were like instant mix with little flavor. I can say at least the corn was good. Biscuits were scarce, only one half way through the meal. We feel like we were ripped off. They asked how it was and we made mention of the shortcomings. Have a nice day is all that came of that. I expect a closure in the near future with business like that. read more

PREJUDICE The Owner of the restaurant presented a very prejudice vibe after my party and I was advised to have a seat. This man came to the table after we had been seated and asked us to get up and go sign in. After we didn't he advised the servers not to serve our table. I don't know what the world has come to but this isn't how you treat guest. But, oh I guess this is how they treat the Blacks! Needs to be shutdown... read more

Got to love this place Especially good for families and groups of friends Limited menu but everything was great read more

I could have closed my eyes and been in my grandmother's kitchen in Oklahoma. Amazing home-cooked meal with chicken, all the sides you want of creamed corn, dark cooked greenbeans, mashed potatoes and gravy to die for. Fresh bisquits. I gotta stay away from this place. The food was over the top tasty. Don't miss this old gem if you are in Cedar Hill or the S Dallas area. Fabulous! read more
