Layne's Chicken Fingers is basically Raising Cane's, which is pretty funny considering there's a…read moreRaising Cane's literally right across the street. Both restaurants serve almost the exact same thing, and I think which one you prefer really just comes down to personal taste. The menu is pretty straightforward. You can get three, four, or five chicken fingers in a combo with fries, Texas toast, dipping sauce, and a drink. The chicken itself is good, but nothing particularly special. Their signature sauce is very similar to Cane's sauce, although I find Layne's version to be a little more peppery. Personally, I prefer Cane's fries over Layne's, and overall I think Cane's has the edge when it comes to the food. But again, that's really just a preference thing. One major difference between the two locations is the setup. Cane's has an indoor dining area where you can sit down and eat, while Layne's is primarily a drive-through restaurant. They do have some outdoor tables and a walk-up ordering window. I actually tried walking up to the window and knocked a few times, but nobody ever came over to help me. I eventually gave up and went through the drive-through instead. There were people eating at the outdoor tables, so I'm not sure what was going on with the walk-up window. As far as value goes, the prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes are fine. It's pretty much what you'd expect from a typical fast-food chicken finger restaurant. Overall, Layne's is a perfectly fine place to grab a quick lunch or dinner. The food is good enough, the value is fair, and the drive-through makes it convenient. Personally, I'd probably choose the Cane's across the street, but I can absolutely see why some people might prefer Layne's. Neither is dramatically different from the other, and it really just comes down to which version of chicken fingers, fries, and sauce you like better.

I've had this place bookmarked for a minute and decided to pick up lunch here because I had the…read morestrongest craving in a while for *drumroll* ... orange chicken. Nothing upscale or authentic, but orange chicken like you'd find in a mall food court. Sichuan Pepper Express fit the bill. You walk in and all of the food is premade and sitting under heat lamps for who knows how long. The lady behind the counter was super sweet and immediately helped me. The combo plates start at 1 entree choice + 1 side for $8.50. Add an additional entree for only $2 more. I ordered the Combo 3 which is 3 entree choices + 1 side for $12.50. For the amount of food I was given, quite a reasonable price. For my entrees I got the (you guessed it) Orange Chicken, Black Pepper Chicken, and Amazing Spicy Chicken. All "fried" dishes...by no means authentic. But everything surprisingly stayed crispy and hot on the drive to my office. The Orange Chicken had a good amount of sauce on the outside, but quite dry on the inside. The Black Pepper Chicken was probably my favorite and was small crispy pieces of chicken in a black pepper sauce with onions and jalapeños. the Amazing Spicy Chicken is basically the fried spicy chicken cubes you'll find at any Szechuan restaurant. This was my first experience seeing it in a mall-style restaurant pre-made. While I will always order this when eating Szechuan food, I thought the one here had a tinge of sweetness to it, which I found a bit off-putting. For my side, I got the fried rice which was your standard fried rice. I did notice that this one had quite a few pieces of raw onion in it, perhaps did not get fully cooked through in the stir fry process. As a result, a few of my bites had a bite to it because I was rawdogging these onions. Definitely a spot for convenience if you're in the mood for quick Chinese food on the go. While there is room for improvement in the quality, need not forget that all the food here is pre-made and has been sitting out until you order it. I'll be back to try more of their offerings.

Okay....first off, the food was SCRUMPTIOUS…read more The employees were nice (good service) AND they were playing good music, Sza and Lady Gaga :3 The food though..I got some jumbo tenders and waffles with strawberries on the side. I just dug in and didn't look back. One of the employees gave us cups, but it took me a while to actually put something in it cause I was too busy eating. I would'veeee put a photo, cause y'know, the camera eats first.. that rule didn't apply for today.

I've been to the original Waffle Bus (food truck) many times as an undergrad at University of…read moreHouston, the Montrose and Heights locations a few times since then. I'm a dine-in guy and I'm not a fan of how uninviting the atmosphere is. If it weren't for the red Waffle Bus branding inside, it just feels too clinical and almost prison like. Concrete floors, metal chairs, metal serving trays. I also abhor the tip prompt when people are just self-ordering on the kiosk. Not hating on the staff, but the minimal service the restaurant provides after ordering on the kiosk is simply calling your number to come to the window, or if it's not busy, they do kindly drop it at your table. Just pay the workers better. I had the lunch special with a half portion chicken and waffle sandwich, seasoned waffle fries, fountain drink ($10.99) and added a current ongoing special priced smashburger ($3). The smashburger hit the spot and was portioned just right for the price. Compared to other restaurants that have toted "smashburgers", this was in the good to very good zone. The half portion chicken and waffle sandwich was horrendous. The waffle buns were good. It was the chicken breast that made me appalled. I think the chicken breast suffered from woody breast syndrome, where the breast is super stiff and has a woody texture. Suffice to say, the chicken breast was inedible. I was able to eat a small bit at the start, but I gave up when it became obvious something was wrong. For the fountain drink station, they serve a mix of Pepsi products + Dr. Pepper. I was happy they had a Pepsi Zero option. I don't know if I'll go back again, but I'm a bit more hesitant after this visit and the bad chicken quality.

We always order from the spicier side of menus, and there's no question when you get your food that they aren't playing around. The chicken is juicy, full of flavor, served on a perfect bun with cole slaw and a couple dill pickle slices. The lightly-battered, seasoned waffle fries are exactly what they should be. The woman who took our order was so nice it almost felt like a hug from your favorite aunt.

I'm a little torn on how to rate this place. Mico's was one of the first hot chicken spots to hit…read moreHouston. I remember the hype this place got as they started out and moved from their original spot to this new spot on Shepard. Now that they have inside seating, I figured it was time to check them out. I was in the area at a local bar with friends, and a few friends ordered Mico's through DoorDash. It looked and smelled so good that I decided I had to have it that night, but at the restaurant. I pulled up to what looks a new building. They share a lot with other businesses but I was able to get a parking spot easily. The restaurant is spacious with lots of seating. They also have bar seating by the register. When I looked around, I noticed alot of people waiting on food. It was a mix of food delivery drivers as well as patrons that had ordered and waiting. There was a customer at the counter going off on the employees and I got to commend the young staff for keeping their cool. That being said, the young staff was friendly and trying their best, but they were drowning and the mood in the place was off. Items were forgotten. People were not getting their food in the order of when they ordered. Four parties ordered after me, with similar items and everyone got their orders before mine. I think I was forgotten and only after one of the staff noticed me waiting did they come and look at my receipt. Time from ordering to receiving my food was close to 40 minutes. This is a hot chicken place that is trying to be somewhat fancy. I was served my food on a nice plated plate. Nice touch, but it felt off for the food being served here. They also give utensils in cloth napkins. No paper towels or napkins in sight. Hot chicken is messy and the cloth napkins was not doing it for me. I ended up up knife and forking my sandwich to keep the messy hands from happening. They also serve their fountain drinks in small cups filled to the brim with us. A few swigs and my drink was almost gone. For a place serving spicy food, a soda fountain with refills or readily available water should be available and out front. Now to the good part. The food was outstanding. I ordered the Chicken Sandwich at their hottest level which also came with a side. I got the waffle fries. The sandwich was voted one of the best dishes in the state by Texas Monthly and I can see why. It was a hefty sandwich with a large chicken breast seasoned to perfection. I always love when their is a little hangover of the chicken outside of the bun. The chicken was crispy but juicy inside. The heat was there but totally bearable with the cooling component of the delicious slaw on top. I usually pick pickles off sandwiches, but the pickles here were good and the acidity added a pleasant touch to the sandwich. The waffle fries were also excellent. They were the battered and seasoned kind which I love. The food most definitely saved the overall experience on my visit here. I will say it is one of the better hot chickens I have had in Houston. Now if they go back to their roots and not try to be fancy and do better on their customer service, I can see this place sticking around for a long time. With my experience, I don't see myself hurrying back anytime soon.

Since this was in the Heights, parking was sparse, but the interior had a clean, modern look and plenty of seating. Since my friends and I came on a Thursday night, there weren't many customers. I appreciate how they let you do half a scoop of rice and half a scoop of Japchae noodles, perfect for indecisive people such as myself... in my bowl, I chose to include the: - K-pop Fried Chicken, which had a subtle, crunchy texture and was coated in the sweet-tasting Gangnam sauce - Grilled Corn - Caramelized Kimchi - Spinach - Carrot - Sesame Seeds - Korean Red Pepper - Magic Sauce and Spicy Ranch on the side (spoiler alert: they weren't that spicy, but still yum!). I'd say the Magic Sauce was creamier + sweeter than the Spicy Ranch. Overall, it was a healthy (in my mind) and filling bowl that lasted me two days. Admittedly, I chose many Korean ingredients during my first visit, so next time I'll try their other toppings, the Kimchi Fries & fried chicken!

They're big, juicy and packed with flavor!! I love to get the mix & match cause that way I get wings, tenders and fries. The young lady at the register that took our order was so nice. She told us to sit where ever we'd like and to come up and order when we're ready. This place has gone up in price due to inflation so we paid $31 for the mix and match (that has gone up from $15 to $18) & and 5 piece wing, and a drink. The vibes here are pretty laid back, every time I've came up here it's never been too packed for me. The food came out in like 15 min which was good because they cook your food when you place the order. Overall I think this is still up there on my fav wings. So if you thinking of stopping by then you definitely should!
