This was a quite interesting experience. The restaurant outside felt kids friendly with good waiting area. Inside was dark with not much lighting. As soon as we entered, the staff took our children(we had 4 of mine and 3 of our friends, out of those, 6 kids followed her), she showed them puppet play. This really helped us see/chose menu. They only have chicken-fried/grilled/country steak. My favorite was country fried streak. Salad comes out as light sauce, side dishes include corns, mashed potatoes and green beans which all were savory. Biscuits and gravy was good, having gravy not too heavy. We will def be back. read more

Good, affordable soul food served family style! I had the fried chicken and fried catfish. Both were really well seasoned, worth a stop once you've had enough bbq! read more

Babe's is a historically significant restaurant and should be on your must visit list. As a tourist visiting the Dallas area, to one of their several locations. The staff is great. The overall design and food presentation is a big thumbs up. Could I personally do a better version of each component? Of course. Each of the sides, also the chicken, could use some improvement. Mashed potatoes with the consistency of wallpaper paste. Salty and bacon greasy (probably) canned beans. Corn that might be fresh or might be out of a can. So so gravy. Okay fried chicken. And if I lived in this area, maybe come just once or twice a year. But if I had guests visiting, I absolutely would bring them here for a taste of Texas culture. They would love it. Because the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. read more

Babe's is always consistently good. Fried chicken is delicious as are the free all you can eat sides. We only go a few times a year as it's a very heavy meal and always leave with enough left overs for at least one more meal. Service is top notch and you never have to flag anyone down for refills or more sides. read more

It had been years since my last visit here and I remembered really enjoying it the first time. Unfortunately, this return visit got off to a rocky start. When I arrived, I was waiting on two family members who were about 10 minutes away, so I went ahead to put our name in. The hostess told me I could go right in, which made it seem like a table was ready, but she never took my name or wrote anything down. After I explained I was waiting for two others, she said "okay" and then started taking names and numbers from other parties, leaving me off to the side without her saying anything else. It was odd, so I sat down. After sitting for maybe 5-7 minutes, I noticed she was taking names for parties of 2 and 3, which was confusing. When I asked about it, she said she already had my party and name even though she had never taken it. At that point, it felt like the Chinese restaurant episode of Seinfeld, where somehow you're waiting but also not really on the list. She finally took my name for a party of three and quoted a 30-45 minute wait, without accounting for the time already lost. My family members arrived shortly after, and we still waited another 20 minutes or so. Once we were seated, the service didn't improve much. Our server was extremely slow, and everything came out at once. We barely had time to get drinks, salads, or biscuits before the food arrived. Refills and additional requests felt more burdensome than attentive. While the food and drinks themselves were great, the overall service felt very disorganized and subpar. read more

This has become our must stop on the way to the airport with our coastal college attending kids. The fried chicken is perfectly brined and always crispy fresh. The classic fried chicken gravy compliments the mashed taters and biscuits equally well. Creamed corn has the perfect texture and right amount of black pepper to offset the sweetness. Biscuits are grandma's kitchen'esque. Not sure we love the new version of green beans. Previous version was made with the flat Italian green beans and often tasted burnt. Current traditional green beans weren't burnt, but contained woody stems. Service was friendly as always. Dining area had the large family reunion vibe. read more

If there was ever a dinner experience I would recommend to anyone visiting Dallas it would be Babe's! This was out first time at Babe's and let me just say...OMG! I have never experienced anything like it! For starters, the staff was phenomenal! Our waitress was so sweet! And while we were enjoying our feast, they even broke out into dance! LOL! Dinner and a show! I will say, there is no menu...I know, bare with me! But the entire meal is family style, and all you choose is your protein which is then brought out family style as well enough to feed the table! At first I couldn't believe it and then they brought out the salad and then followed all the sides! And I am talking mash potatoes, green beans, biscuits, gravy, corn! It was endless! And sure enough when we finished something, it was quickly picked up and refilled! I ordered the catfish and my partner got fried chicken and let me just say...10/10! They brought out the crispiest fried fish and chicken ever and it was enough to feed us both with leftovers! I would definitely recommend this place for any family celebration or outing with friend! It was a perfect dinner! We cannot wait to return! read more

One of our favorite restaurants! Food as always was delicious and great! Yum yum ! My grandson loves this place! read more

I am glad that this location is soooo much closer to me than the original. Atmosphere/Ambiance - 5/5 - Big restaurant with the same decor as the other location. Huge tables, so great for groups. Staff - 5/5 - Friendly, and kept coming around to make sure that we were taken care of. Food/Drink - Ordered the following: Fried Chicken - 5/5 - This is what you have to get when you get here. For those that do not know, you just keep getting all the sides you want (salad/green beans/corn/mashed potatoes/biscuits/gravy Smoked Chicken - 4/5 - We wanted to try this as a healthier option. It is healthier, but you will want to get the fried chicken. Overall, we actually only come to this place when one of our friends are visiting in town. We will be back. read more

Always a good fest at Babes. 7 of us went to babes for lunch. The only place that can seat us and feed us in a reasonable amount of time. The service is quick and prompt. It is a set meal, pick a meat and then eat. Our table was fried chicken and chicken fried steak. The sides that day were mash potatoes, white gravy, green beans, cream corn. A salad is off re ed to start the meal. When a bowl is empty the server will ask do you want refills. You will never leave hungry, only if you have will power not to over indulge. You can take the leftover meat but no sides can be saved. read more

Babe's Chicken Dinner House - The tower of chicken fried steak and fried chicken. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Frisco, Texas

I have been here twice and had the smoked chicken and the fried chicken. Both were outstanding! Its a simple, no frills dinner experience with unlimited biscuits, salad, creamed corn, and mashed potatoes. Even though its a chain restaurant i truly believe this is some of the better fried chicken i have ever had! Food comes out quick because its a small menu with a choice of entree between fried chicken, smoked chicken, chicken fried steak, and chicken tenders. I did unfortunately have to take 1 star off for the desserts. As outstanding as the chicken is...the desserts weren't good. K tried the peach cobbler which and strawberry short cake and I didnt like either. I will be back to babes on my cheat day for some delicious and affordable chicken! read more

Some friends recommended this spot so we all went here for a date night. The inside is very western feeling, and I love the ambience. I really like the idea of just choosing your chicken and then them bringing out the different sides and biscuits. The biscuits were definitely my favorite part. The corn was good, but the mashed potatoes were not so great. The chicken tenders were nice and crispy. The server was attentive. I would go back here if I was bringing some friends or family from out of state. read more

Babes is expensive af but so so good. I just love a chicken tender and they do the best classic fried tenders!! Biscuits are so good too.

What a FUN experience! We were in the barn area, busy and lively - I even enjoyed reading all the amusing signs posted ;) Ordered both the fried chicken and the smoked chicken and we were not disappointed. The sides were decent but the biscuits were bomb! Almost as good as the service ;) Everyone was so friendly and down-to-earth, we were lucky to have MAYA as our server - she was incredible and yes, we will definitely be back. read more

Friendly and entertaining service. Eclectic but kitschy decor. Ok food. In Frisco--down past the train museum, around the corner from Kelly Clarkson street (I added the Kelly part), and 126 years ago--sits a folksy chicken restaurant called Babe's. I visited with my elderly parents who think of Babe's like a favorite old chair... e.g. "It's absolutely perfect". (I tend to think of Babe's more like an old shoe; comfortable, but out of style). If kitschy Texas signs, line-dancing waiters, and canned YMCA music is your thing, you have found a home. They serve both kinds of food, "Fried Chickens" and "Chicken-Fried Steaks". DON'T ask about side dishes because that is the same for every order and served family style; Mash potatoes, green beans, biscuits, cream corn, and salad. My parents LOVED the salad. (I recognized it as a zero-frills tossed iceberg salad with a simple oil and vinegar dressing). Everything was fine. Greasy chicken and CFS w/ cream gravy. It was super ok. Almost satisfactory even. But I found the whole experience kinda tired, from the stuffed chicken taxidermy (which was everywhere) to the fake "Texas Secede" road sign. If that style is your ballpark, well... "Play ball!" And head over to Babe's! read more

The chicken was yummy, the biscuits were perfect! And I loooved the mashed potatoes. We got country fried steak, fried chicken and chicken strips. Everything was good. Everyone has to order a meat and the sides keep coming. The inside was quirky and cute and we got really good service. The table is also served with what seems like a boring salad, but actually is really good. The dressing is perfect. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is bc my tummy hurt afterwards. read more

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

It has been a minute since I've been to Babe's Chicken Diner. The last one I visited was in Garland, so I came here with family. We had chicken fried steak, chicken tenders, chicken fry, and all the sides. Everything was delicious. Excellent, a lot of food. The biscuits were so good, though, with the butter and the honey. Yum. The chicken tenders were delicious. It's a lot. I think eight pieces came with it. They're small, but they were excellent. The chicken fried steak, according to everybody, was delicious, and sitting with the fried chicken is a lot of food, so make sure you go hungry. The place is charming. I love it, really busy though. Our waitress was terrific. She was swamped. She did a great job, though. The only downside to it was that it was hot in there. I know there were many people, but it was still warm. Overall, it was a great experience. Had fun with family and food. read more

We haven't been to Babe's in years so we wanted to take our girls to see if they enjoy it as much as we did. We stopped by on Sunday at 4:30 pm and were about to be put on a short wait list but they accommodated us quickly. Our server was prompt and constantly checked up on us. We ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, Fried Catfish, and Chicken Tenders. The biscuits and salad were a good start. Don't forget to add honey (already at the table) to your biscuits. I didn't love any of the main dishes, but I couldn't get enough of the Creamed Corn. The Mashed Potatoes and Gravy were okay, but I was not a fan of the Green Beans. That's highly unusual because I love vegetables. I couldn't eat much of the Banana Pudding as it was too sweet and was missing crispy vanilla wafers. It was a fun scene with the decorations on the walls and the staff dancing and singing. I wouldn't go back but would recommend it to those celebrating birthdays, graduations, etc. read more

I've never made catfish and I know I could make better catfish at home than what I had here. If you don't like frozen or canned food don't go here. It's dark and dusty inside and the server acted personally offended that I didn't want a to go box for the flavorless fried catfish. read more

Wonderful food and service served family style!! You've got to go!! Check out the country atmosphere.

This is a local love for many! The location is great in a historical spot with good parking. Service is exceptional. Food is salty. Everything has a similar taste from high salt. The chicken is good for sure. And the biscuits. All the sides are served family style. The 'salad' is a bowl of wet lettuce. I don't know why they bother. The potatoes are good, the corn is laden with sugar, and the beans are also well seasoned. It is too bad. These lovely vegetables are delicious without all the additives. It detracts from the potential of the meal. I think Babe's is worth a visit, and bring your family when they come to visit. But the salt content is too unhealthy for regular consumption. read more

Excellent food and service. Atmosphere is different and cool. Best fried chicken I've ever had. Loved it since the first time I went and I don't each much chicken. This place is phenomenal. We ordered dessert for the first time. Pies are NO good. I will say - we didn't love it. In fact, the peach cobbler was very disappointing. Zero flavor at all. Shortcake and coconut were better but nothing amazing. Quickly regretted asking for it. Will not have it again. Definitely not the cherry on top. We'll stick to the amazing chicken and sides and then call it a day. read more

If you're craving good old-fashioned comfort food, you've struck gold! Whether it's fried chicken, catfish, or chicken fried steak, this place has it all. The sides are served family style, bringing back memories of classic family reunions. You know the kind--where Aunt Ruby whipped up her famous fried chicken and the delicious yeast rolls that you just couldn't resist. The atmosphere is fun, the wait staff is fabulous, and the crowds are lively and cheerful. Dress casually; you might end up with a little gravy on your shirt! Sure, there might be a wait in line, but it's absolutely worth it. Gather your family or friends and head over for a feast you won't forget! read more

Tried Babe's at the recommendation of multiple people. I wasn't impressed at all. I ordered the fried chicken , and unfortunately, it was a huge letdown. For the price, I expected something unique or high-quality, but what I got was four pieces, overly salty fried chicken that was a bit too greasy for my taste . To make matters worse, the sides seemed canned--there was nothing fresh or homemade about them, which only added to the disappointment. Additionally, they have some frustrating takeout restrictions, which made the whole experience even less enjoyable. For the premium they're charging, I expected a much better meal and more flexibility. Overall, the food was overpriced, uninspired, and left me feeling like I didn't get anywhere near my money's worth. read more

Babe's Chicken Dinner House - To go box - Chicken Shop Near Me - Frisco, Texas

The food was good and service was fast. The ambiance was expected for a farm site. The food came out hot and unexpected by staff.

Overcooked tough chicken, wilted lettuce with a sour vinaigrette sauce for salad, vegetables and potatoes that appear to be straight out of a can from Costco or Sam's makes this a miserably low value for the price being charged. The only things that are saving this from a one star review are the servers and the biscuits. Go somewhere else. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. The smoked chicken is phenomenal, perfectly cooked, tasty, juicy, & just perfect. I like the fried chicken as well, but always prefer the smoked. Service is always top notch. Every body there is friendly, helpful, and every now and again they do a dance. I keep trying to talk to management about adding newer songs like the Cupid shuffle. The food is "family style" serving, so basically your server will take your drink order, and ask, "Smoked or Fried". Sure, they have chicken fried steak, but I recommend skipping that for the smoked. All the sides come out with the meal and all are bottomless. I just moved to Texas in 2022 and when friends & family visit, I always bring them here. (( sucks dining alone at a place like this )) so I take advantage when friends are here. Go! Enjoy!! read more
