This is a delicious chicken dinner restaurant! If you eat in the dining room, all sides are all you can eat. And they honor military discount. read more

First Babe's Chicken experience was solid! Wouldn't be my first choice to return to but the value isn't terrible. The good: servers were super nice and we were able to get enough tables added to one of the long strips to fit about 20 folks altogether. We never wanted for anything, and their biscuits were delicious with honey. I also enjoyed the chicken fried steak quite a bit, especially with gravy drizzled over, and the portions for entrees were huge. The mediocre: obviously the business model is generous with sides but it's clear most of them are canned/not made from scratch. Creamed corn was pretty runny but still one of the tastier options. Green beans were quite mushy, and the beans were super watery as well. Conversely the mashed potatoes were SUPER thick and therefore hard to eat a lot of, even when mixed with the gravy. Others mentioned that the fried chicken was pretty salty. My husband was able to finish off the chicken fried steak I had leftover when I brought it home, which was nice. $25-ish after tax and tip to feed two adults is pretty good in this economy. read more

Better but not great. Catfish meaty and crunchy w no grease. Green beans were nothing but a mouthful of strings. Had to spit them out - couldn't chew. Instant potatoes tasteless but the corn nicely done. Overall - meh read more

Never eaten here before, but adult granddaughter wanted to try it before I moved her to New Mexico. Andrea C. was our Server & after telling her it was our 1st time she did a great job explaining there menu & ordering process. The food spread is like visiting your grandparents with lots of choices. You the customer pick your meat choice, they provide the selection of slides. Picture shows our choice of catfish (for me) smoke chicken (for her). Everything tasted good, granddaughter said little like cafeteria selection. She added more salt/pepper. The building was decorated very interesting, but with a Spock cut out they get 5 stars from me. Food was good, staff friendly, building clean, & prices to be expected for quality/quantity of food provided. Young man at checkout saw my Army cap, ask are you a veteran, then proceeded to give me a military discount. read more

Always an EPIC experience. Tatum Seargeant was such a great hostess! Food is spectacular, and the atmosphere is top notch!

Babe's Chicken Dinner House - Table full of yummy food! We got fried chicken and catfish. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Garland, Texas

I called in a curbside order and the young lady who took my order and also checked me out has great customer service! The iPad was down so I had to go inside to pay (which was no problem honestly). She was very sweet and efficient. (I'm so sorry I didn't catch her name!) read more

They give their worst food for to go orders. Food is cold and meat is not fully cooked not to mention old food.

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. read more

Fried chicken at its best. Family style sides with all you want sides. Friendly wait staff great location

Service was amazing server was so nice everyone seemed in a good mood the chicken was so juicy definitely recommend

Had a 5 star experience at this here Babe's this afternoon! We were seated very quickly with a table of six and were explains to about how the ordering works. Everything is family style, you have 4 different choices of meats and bottomless sides. We ordered 3 different meats and the other three people paid for the veggie plates (essentially a place holder so that people don't come there and eat free). Once we bought into that idea, we were sold. The sides never stopped coming and the food was hot and ready! Our server, Kevin, was a sweet, funny, attentive guy that kept us laughing all afternoon. Will definitely return!! read more

Our family loves eating and getting take out. The chicken strips to so yummy. Really all the meat is so good. But by far one of the best food items is the biscuits. They are so fluffy and yummy read more

We recently used their catering service and it was outstanding!! The food was good, huge portions, great communication, 10/10.

Look, the food taste good and the employees are always nice. My problem is with the RIDICULOUSLY thin chicken fried steak! My gosh, the price is already outrageous so to beat the steak SO thin is a hard no for us ever eating there again. Too bad since we've been going to Babes for literally 15 years. I understand inflation but this really seems like you are using that excuse to rip off the customer. I hope you consider this and make a change. read more

It's a busy place but you just can't beat the "southern" food. CFS and cream corn and mashed potatoes were my favorites; the guests that joined me all had the catfish and I swiped a few pieces of the OUTSTANDING, crispy fried fish! Both lunch and dinner were very busy but the service was outstanding and these servers were quick to serve their guests and it worked out perfectly! I'm going back to visit them this week! WHY? So YUMMY! (the deserts look wonderful, but I'm always too full, way too full to try any desert! LOL) read more

Just a great place to eat. Food is real old home cooking. The rolls are fantastic and the sides all taste like Grandma is in the Kitchen.

Great Food, Service, and Atmosphere!! Prices are a bit high, so I don't go as often, but their food is great!!

WARNING! This is not the place to stay skinny or get skinny as the food is just WAY TOO GOOD! I Love this place... It shows on my waist line, but, it is really really good. I've never asked what they use in their batter as then I'd know want to search to find other places that use it and then I'd be TOO big in get in my SUV! I normally say "seriously" after an introduction like above and mention something else, but I was serious! This place is easy to find and lots of parking! Going in, the interior is a country centered décor! Pull out your camera and start clicking! Don't forget to get a photo next to the really quiet customer in the waiting area! Read the signage as it will make you smirk! Eating in or to go are both options. Many of the to-go orders were for really large groups while I was there, (or they were just ordering a bunch for themselves?). I know I said I was ordering for 2 but trust me, I wasn't sharing! The chicken is moist and the batter is to die for! The flavor is just that good! You can not just eat one piece! The salad is always fantastic and it isn't anything really special and mostly iceberg lettuce. It is their house dressing that makes it perfect before or with the chicken! The green beans are really good as well! The rolls are always good and yes, I probably over butter them. read more

This is the worst fried chicken on earth. Everything is overcooked. Would not recommend.

Fun place to visit. Fun environment. Great service. We were seated almost immediately for a Saturday night. Our server was Cody. The food was delicious. Loved the chicken. Crispy and full of flavor. The home style side were equally good. Absolutely, loved the biscuits and cane syrup and the corn. If you are looking for a fantastic meal check this restaurant out. read more

If you are ready for some real southern feasting, head over to Babe's Chicken Dinner House! It is definitely not healthy though! For the health conscious consumers, this place is not for you! We took the crew here to experience some delicious southern dishes, and everyone was impressed! The restaurant had so many knickknacks decorating the place. We had a kick out of some of them. We didn't get a menu, but they didn't need one because they only had 5 entrees to choose from. Entrees: Fried chicken Chicken Fried Steak Fried Chicken Tenders Fried Catfish Hickory Smoked Chicken Each entree will come with sides: Salad Mashed potatoes Gravy Cream of corn Green beans Butter beans Biscuits Don't even think about taking home sides if you have leftovers! You will only be given a sad little plastic baggy for your entree and that's it! The food was absolutely delicious!! I ordered the fried chicken and it was so tender and juicy! The mashed potatoes and corn were my favorite sides! The biscuits were so fresh! I loaded it with honey and it was heaven! Parking: plenty of parking available since there is a lot right out front! read more

Babe's Chicken Dinner House - Southern Feasting! (Sides included with entree order) - Chicken Shop Near Me - Garland, Texas

When we pulled up I was super skeptical. Usually when I'm in the south I stick to the cities for the most part for food. But this place is SO good and worth a little drive if you're in Dallas proper. We ordered all of the meats with all of the sides to share. The only thing none of us liked was the chicken fried steak (very bland) and the green beans (edible but underwhelming). By far the BEST thing was the smoked chicken. You must order this. Good hospitable service and a great meal. Can't ask for much else. I would definitely come back. read more

We went to this Babes last night. Our server, Joy, was pleasant and the food was good (we had catfish and the usual sides, plus black eyed peas) but there was one person working that made the night less than great. There was a short-haired, white, older lady working - my guess is that she's a manager - and because of her proximity to us from where she was posted up while we were there and due to her loud voice, I heard her complaints about several employees and how she didn't care if/how someone was looking at security footage. As a customer, I didn't care to hear all of that while I was trying to enjoy my meal. Also, shortly after we were seated, they sat another very large party - maybe a youth sports team. Some of the adults/chaperones from that party were seated next to us. That short haired lady wanted to switch out one of their chairs for ours so without asking, she quickly pulled the chair directly next to me to give to them, which knocked my new purse straight to the floor. I was upset. I told her, "Wait. Waiiittt!!!" Without apologizing, she just says, "Well they're a large party and kinda bombarded us." What? What does that have to do with your lack of professionalism? I was not happy. Again, Joy was wonderful and the food was good, but that lady left a bad taste in my mouth and I will more than likely patronize other Babes in the metroplex from now on. read more

I love this place, our server was so nice and the food was delicious definitely coming back here.

I ordered the chicken tenders to go on a Sunday afternoon. This restaurant is ALWAYS packed. The tenders meal came with 2 biscuits, 1/2 pint portions of corn, black eyed Peas, Mashed Potatoes, cream Gravy, green beans, a small salad and literally 12 chicken tenders for $20. This meal was supposed to be for one person but it fed 2 of us and we had enough for left overs. It was ALOT of food and all of it was absolutely delicious!! I love this restaurant because it's always consistent, customer service is amazing and food is so so good. Only frustration is parking. It's always busy so parking is always tight lol read more

The fried chicken at Babe's is legendary and the chicken fried steak is truly Texan. Try the smoked chicken if you are looking for something different. Service is friendly and the decor feels like family. read more

Fried Chicken was terrific. The sides were also good. Especially the cream corn and gravy. I used crubside The high school age young man was very efficient and friendly. Didn't get his name but he does go to a charter school here in Garland. Will always go back. read more

I have being to Babe's since the original opened in Roanoke in 1993. They are all great! This is one great, too. My favorite is the Chicken Tenders and the Chicken Fried Steak. Come check it out! read more

It doesn't get any more southern that Babe's Chicken Dinner House in Dallas. They have their Zagat awards proudly displayed so you know they have to be doing something right. When we arrived there was a little bit of a wait. Staff was excellent and very helpful. While you wait you are entertained by everything that is happening in your surroundings. There is music, people dancing and of course the chicken dance. It is an experience. The menu is pretty straight forward. You pick one of their proteins and then they serve you endless sides with it. If you are with a group, even better. Everyone order a different protein and you got a buffet at your table. Some of the mains are better than the others. Nothing was bad. The fried chicken was of course delicious and what I was expecting. The sides are are pretty solid. All together it is a great family meal. I haven't been back in awhile, but I can't wait to check it out next time I am in Dallas! read more

I love the simplicity of this place. There isn't a menu, your server will ask if you want Smoked or Fried chicken or chicken fried steak. Once you tell them, they will bring fresh baked bread and a bunch of bottomless sides. My buddy and I both got the smoked chicken and it was delicious. I'm guaranteed to go back many times for the smoked chicken alone. The sides were really good, I think the corn was my favorite. I ordered a piece of Chocolate pie to take home. The pie was good, but whatever was on top, I wasn't a big fan of it. I kicked it to the side and fully enjoyed the pie without it. :) If you haven't been, this place is definitely a must try place. read more

Always fantastic. Super laid back and amazing food. I don't even like creamed corn, but I sure will get seconds of theirs. Great food, friendly service, laid back atmosphere. I love Babes read more

Went to Babes with friends and it's consistently good. The smoked chicken is juicy and tender. The sides are always tasty. My favorite is the corn. Their salad is sweet and tangy. My friends like their fried chicken. We always have leftover chicken. It's a lot of food so go there hungry and ready to eat. The atmosphere is fun and lively. The waiters stop to do a line dance in the middle of the place. So fun! read more
