    So, have been to the one on Maple several times, but it's a far drive so haven't been there in a…read morecouple years. However, I sometimes have to be in north Dallas for business, and this one on Forest is close enough to justify the side trip. I can still say that Mike's has the best damn chicken in DFW. I agree that the sides can be a little underwhelming, and nowadays I usually just grab a couple spicy breasts (yea baby) and sometimes an order of fries (nothing fancy, still good) and forget the plates. But honestly, this is one of those places that you come for the main attraction and if you're counting anything else, well, that's just not right. Yes, you can wait 15 minutes or more when you order at the counter. I've finally come to the point where when my work is done, I borrow someone's computer and order it online, and it's usually ready by the time I get there. This is the way to do it. It's so hot when I pick it up, by the time I get back to my main hub 20-30 minutes later, it's the perfect temp to eat. Don't listen to any Elite types who bad mouth any of the locations. I've never had anything but perfect chicken here. Try it for yourself.

    It's good chicken, man. The kind of good chicken that makes you stop mid-bite and nod silently at…read morenobody. I kept wondering who Mike was, so I looked it up--turns out Mike's Chicken is Vietnamese-owned, which somehow made me trust the operation even more. Fair warning: when you go, be ready to wait about 20 minutes--or order ahead like someone who values their time. They cook everything to order. I was like, what? In this fast-food age of heat lamps and broken dreams? But the wait is worth it. The chicken comes out fresh and hot as fuck. Crispy, juicy, and clearly made by people who respect the craft. This isn't grab-and-go chicken. This is sit down, shut up, and appreciate chicken.

    Wow, such a treat to find a small family run business that makes such yummy food and makes the…read moreeffort to use organic ingredients! Everything was yummy, the tomato soup and grilled cheese hit all the old memories and the dark meet chicken was so yummy and don't sleep on the fries! May be the best French fries I've had in ages, idk what seasoning they use but trust me, try them! I really liked they have a variety of canned drinks with some healthy options I had not seen before, I had a canned Thai tea (from a local vendor) tha was amazing and perfectly sweet, This is not a traditional dining room but a "pick-up" kind of place. All the orders are prepared to go and they have a couple of small picnic tables outside they could see the total of 6 to 8 people but for the most part, you should plan to pick up your food and bring it home or enjoy it as a picnic. There is a pay to park lot across the street that has plenty of spots and they validate so don't worry about finding street parking. Would highly recommend you stop by! I'll definitely be returning!

    Cute little Bodega tucked away just steps from the busiest streets in Bishop Arts. I ordered my…read morelunch to go and was very pleased with the portion sizes. Their homemade hummus was amazing! I opted to do half bread and half veggies for dipping. For my main course, I chose their Mediterranean chicken salad sandwich. It was delicious. Their fries were seasoned well and paired great with a creamy yogurt style dipping sauce. Would definitely order again!
