This was my first time having Bush's in about 10 years. I wasn't too happy spending 45 dollars when the mac and gravy get thrown away. Thankfully the main dish tasted good. Portion size of the side dishes also lacked. I received more gravy than mashed potatoes. I did appreciate the service, the gentleman at the drive thru was very nice and helpful. Did not rush me one bit. I will maybe wait another 10 years to try again. read more

This place was filthy! Floors & tables were nasty. Everything looked like it needed to be cleaned. I used to love this place, I will NEVER go back. A Friday night that has no crowd or drive thru customers should tell you something. They could of wiped tables off as they only had two customers. They definitely have very bad management.....how sad! Was a great restaurant at one time read more

I've been through the dive through quite a few times without success, so I thought I'd go inside to order. My experience with this location hasn't improved over the last 3 years. Absolutely no one greeted or acknowledged my presence at the counter well into 3 plus minutes. After placing my order, I was informed that it would be at least 15 minutes before it could be fulfilled. Doesn't seem that anyone at this location is remotely interested in the customer. Out of chicken for a restaurant that sells chicken. Granted there was one family inside with me and 3 vehicles in the drive through. No large orders going out. The music is so filled with static it would be better to have none. It is a shame that this location is so poorly managed. I'll make the drive to Bill Miller's or Church's. Heck maybe even Zaxby's. Skipping this location from now on. read more

Food was not good. Gave me the wrong order as well! Only thing fresh was my fries and that's because my boyfriend asked. Other than that the tenders were cold. The mashed potatoes were cold. Never again. read more

Today is Sept. 30 2025 I WAS ASSAULTED AT THE BUSHES CHICKEN IN CONVERSE BY AN EMPLOYEE!!!! We were given cold food so we contacted the store and the Manager Hector answered I asked to have my food replaced at a later date he said no, bring the chicken if I want it replaced. I explained I was at work was he gonna compensate me for my gas he said I dnt work in a gas station. I was upset. So I drove there. I got there he continued to be rude said he was giving me my money back and he wasnt doing anything else. I said thats not gonna work. He told me again he doesn't work in the gas industry, so I said I dnt work for door dash or Uber. At that point I asked for his bosses number, he said im not giving you shit and to get out of his store. I through the food and left. As im trying to drive off an employee comes out woth his phone all close to my car I ask what's he doing he said this is for the cops. I said cool I will wait for them. As im heading in the door he has his phone inches from my face I push the phone telling him to get it out my face and he punches me in my face and runs in the store. I went in we exchanged more words I waited for the police. Don't eat at this restraint. Customer service is crap. Dnt have a problem cause you may get assaulted. I was gone he came out pursuing me.. read more

I just got back from this location. The service was okay, but their chicken!! What's the problem there? Mine is cold, dry and TASTELESS. I don't think I've EVER had Bush's chicken that tastes like this. I don't usually go to this location, even though Google and Apple maps indicate it's the closest to me. I won't bother with this one the next time I'm in the mood. read more

Great chicken, quick service and I got all my stuff. I hadn't been back to this location in decades, that's French for a long time, but the kids were in the mood and we were close to my mom's - so, we made a return attempt. The take out window (not really a drive thru) was non-traditionaly (four lanes), but the guy taking the order made it work. He took orders from me and four other cars, without issue. I ordered the 10-piece family meal which comes with two sides and 5 rolls. I also ordered a single side order of fried okra. When we finally got to my mom's we made mince meat out of the family meal. The kids ate the green beens, mash potatoes, fried chicken and the roll - with seconds. The chicken was great, the beans were cooked perfectly (not soggy). The mash potatoes were good too, but they had a black pepper flavor that one of my kid's didn't particularly take to - that's alright, more for me. The fried okra was solid. We had three pieces of chicken and a roll left over. I didn't have any problems with this place. I would come back. read more

I got to this location at 8:00pm. There was a bit of a line so I expected a delay. What I did not expect was for the 3 people that got here after me to jot only order, but get their food and leave. All while I was waiting for 42 minutes for someone to even come up to my car to take my order. 42 MINUTES. After ordering I asked to speak with a manager. I expressed my concerns to him and informed him that I was honestly annoyed by the fact that 3 people were taking orders, yet no one could come assist me. He then explained that they were "short staffed" and was saying how he has been "also been working in the kitchen" while attempting to prove it by pointing at his clothes as if they were dirty (they were spotless). He didnt seem to care at all and proceeded to go back inside. Yes I understand that this is just a fast food restaurant. There was nothing "fast "about this experience. I also understand that being shortstaffed can be an issue, but it is not an excuse for bad service. read more

We didn't receive all of our order and when we called the manager, she was less than helpful. Will not be back!

The employees ignores customers. There were several cars in the drive thru just waiting so we can buy some food. One employee looked out the door and come back in. Then sees his buddy in a car behind me and gives him an order of chicken. I rolled my window and called him. But he still went back into the restaurant This is normal for this restaurant on FM 78. I really thought bush chicken would have changed after a year of not going there. I hope they improve in the future. I grew up eating here. I don't understand what happened. read more

Shitty service 100% of the time Allways forget something even tho they write it down. Alway rude when I ask questions about my meal Will never go to this location again and will be tell my friends and family to do the same. Look I get it works sucks, but you got to suck it the fuck up and try to give a fuck about the customer read more

Bush's Chicken - Bake chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Converse, Texas

Love to go get me a half unsweetened and lemonade tea it's so Delish. I love the gizzards and They usually make them fresh when you order them. I like when I go and the chicken is fresh love me some chicken breast most definitely recommend. read more

Drove up to make my order and noticed that there are no prices on the menu board, thought "That's weird." I proceeded to order two 4 tender meals, which includes fries and a drink. I was surprised when I received my notification from my bank that I was just charged $23.34! Now I know why they don't have prices on the menu board. We have decided that we will no longer eat at Bush's. They are just way too expensive. I will perhaps order from Chick-fil-A or Churches. Or just get a Whataburger meal. I would not recommend ordering from Bush's unless you are a millionaire. read more

Good morning, On behalf of Rivercity Outreach Centre and our volunteers, please accept our deepest gratitude for all the support at our Thanksgiving Luncheon. We had a great turnout and could not have done it without the employees at your Converse location. I appreciate the warm welcome I received from General Manager, Hector, and the interest you showed in our work. Many thanks, Linda C. read more

I can't believe this place is in business. We went there thinking we would be served in a timely manner. Well we saw one teenage girl and two teenage boys acting like order takers. Seriously is this the best you could hire? They do not understand "First come first served " the kids had no idea what was going on. They jumped from car to car with no regards who was there first. That was after they all decided to come out of the restaurant after being inside together for more than 10 minutes. The other kitchen worker was taking one box at a time to the trash. These boxes were not big he could have carried more than one. Plus he could have helped out with 15 cars waiting in line. Needless to say we finally got a chance to get out of line after a 30 minutes of waiting. I will never go back to that "shit show" I can only hope the franchise will look into how bad the place is run. read more

Horrible service. Got skipped over 3 times in the togo car line and had to call the employee over and tell him before getting skipped a 4th time. Places needs to get their act together read more

Before Raising Cane's came to town, Bush's Chicken found its way down from Waco. If you've spent any time in a rural small town and pay attention to the Bush's setup, you'll see the country in it. And I'm not talkin' about the livers & gizzards, good rolls, and fried okra on the menu... I mean, check out the 'drive-thru': it's more a 'drive up' and someone comes out the back door to take your order. The chicken is pretty durn good. They got some big ol' breastesesss and meaty tenders. They've got hot sauce, honey, and some fun spices to shake onto your food, too. They sell tea by the gallon jug... and crushed ice by the bag (for a buck!) But the best thing at Bush's right now? The buffalo fries. I don't know which stoner genius employee invented these, but god bless Bush's for putting 'em on the menu: it's a box of crinkle fries, topped with chopped up strips coated in buffalo sauce, with some ranch drizzled into the mix. This is some of the most satisfying trash food I've had in a great long while. I got some for lunch one day. At least 3 coworkers have joined the cult with me. I hope the guy or gal who made these happen gets some credit (and hopefully some cash) - buffalo fries put Bush's back on my radar. read more

So generally I would just assume chicken to be chicken...and with chicken joints as wide spread as mickey-d's...why on earth would I expect anything unique from a "Bush's Chicken"...??? I first heard of this chain chicken store from my daughter after she and her family had moved to Texas. She raved about their chicken tenders...and rolls...and white gravy. Okay, I swear to eat at one if I ever see one...seemed safe enough. So tonight I get into town late...in the middle of a rain storm and looking on Yelp for dinner ideas, I come across Bush's Chicken... Chicken is chicken, right? Well tonight I enjoyed my dinner...chicken, moust and with a very flavorable breading...cooked perfectly. White gravy...what do I do with this? I dipped my chicken into it...another level of "WOW"...and a dinner roll that was extremely soft, buttery...yummy...!!! Perhaps a few more carbs than anyone really needs, but quite tasty carbs. I choose the green beans as my side dish, plus two bottles of water. My dinner was perfect, excellent service, and at an exceptable price...I will be back, and I hope to see you there. read more

I am not a resident of Converse, First time here. The food was good. Tenders are the biggest I've seen & eaten at any Bush's!! I will say that I am not impressed with the management or lack of with staff not being in compliance with the State/City health regulations. It is questionable. I witnessed an employee with ear buds, pants below his ass exposing his underwear. Another employee eating a bag of WERTHER'S caramel popcorn inside the prep area where they are cooking, watching video's on his phone leaning on top of a stack of flour bags! On top of that the floors are dirty haven't been cleaned, dead flies piled up along the window sill. No masks. Only one employee was wearing one. read more

Waited 44 minutes for some chicken due to the slow girl , with the head phones in her ear hating life. If it wasn't for my Mom really wanting this I would have said the heck with this. It's not even busy. Only 3 people in line. Next time I'll go to KFC. read more

Overpriced, underserved, food not fresh, orders incomplete... unfortunately experienced this more times than I should have. This time will be my absolute last time I waste money at this establishment... If I could give it zero stars, I would. read more

Once again a good meal. Chicken isn't anorexic like some places I've reviewed. Nice crispy plump pieces. Fried okra is excellent just as the fries. Family meal portions are great. Sized to perfection. read more

The dining facility is so full of smoke from the grill that my eyes are watering. It's like a dive bar at midnight, full of haze. read more

Filthy, employees consistently cursing, I assume off the clock teenage employees that just keep walking behind the counter to visit with others, trash all over the floor. Just a bad experience and this is my second time in here. First time was two years ago and the same. I didn't comment then thinking, no way this is the culture of the shop. Tried to order: 30 minute wait for chicken, no sides, really? read more

Undercooked raw chicken! Thank you for giving me undercooked chicken tenders! As if covid isn't bad enough, let's throw salmonella poisoning to the mix as well read more

Went in tonight 03/24/2022 to pick up a door dash order ended up canceling it. The place was nasty. Counter not wipe down. Food on counter that was just sitting. While the made order. I was not comfortable taking the order. Plus on top of it I could not get help. On my way out I told the work the place was nasty and she made an excuse. Never going back to this place. I am almost positive they would have failed and health inspection tonight. read more

Huge Thanks to Bush's Chicken!! I've been going here for the last 3 years. I've noticed a huge improvement since the manager finally got some great help. The Mgr Mrs Evelyn - is always there running her team to well but it's great to see her get some great new help.New team. and New Manager that helps take some of the weight off of her. Great job Bush's! Great staff means Great Management means Great Leaders ! read more

My sister and I came in 20 minutes until closing time and we were served hot/fresh food! A lot of places roll their eyes when they see someone come in near closing time but we were greeted with a kind welcome and warm smile! It really means a lot to be served freshly made french fries and sweet tea that doesn't need water to dilute the sweetness. The fried chicken was pretty good, I feel it lacked seasoning and wish it had more flavor. The rolls are huge and fluffy with a sweet taste. I've only tried the fried chicken and tenders but I'm sure everything else is great. Bush's isn't my go-to fried chicken joint but it definitely hits the spot! Management and staff are awesome here! read more

Bush's Chicken - Two piece...$7.10 tax included - Chicken Wings Near Me - Converse, Texas

I'm going to try to keep this review short and to the point so below is just a few of the things that went wrong: - Before entering the restaurant there was a rank smell. I figured it must be somewhere outside, but as the doors swung open, the smell was more intense (the restrooms were located to the right upon entering). - Guy that took my order had a blank stare when I told him I wanted two chicken meals. There was an awkward moment of silence due to the fact that he didn't quite understand what I was trying to say. Hmm....my order wasn't confusing, it was 2 of the same meal with the same sides - He forgot to ring up my sweet tea, I had to use my card cause I had NO CASH which was dissapointing cause it was .50 cents! - We have our order and my daughter starts attacking the bread and mash potatoes, then she tosses the bread and it rolls over and that's when I see what was underneath....MOLD! (See picture) - Chicken is greasy, therefore table condiments were greasy to the touch. Makes you feel really close to the others who ate at the table before you, knowing that you are touching what they once touched with their greasy hands..... Well, there it is, I have nothing else to say except I'm not going back there. The rest of the day I wasn't feeling well due to the grease factor. read more

Bush's Chicken - Mold on the bread, didn't see cause it was on the bottom :( - Chicken Wings Near Me - Converse, Texas

Seemed a little pricey for fast food chicken but it was pretty good. I had one of the cheaper items on the menu - chicken tenders with a drink and one side. Honestly, the chicken tenders at Bill Miller's are a just a little bit better but quite a bit cheaper. The sweet tea was SWEET, SWEET, SWEET! All in all, I would rather go to a Churches, KFC, or even Bill Miller's for fried chicken. Sorry, I just don't get it... read more

This is the second time I had to waited over an hour. Wont be coming back for a third one. I ordered the Tuesday special, 16 piece chicken tender and got a whole bunch of tiny chicken pieces. The carhop took my order and 25 min later comes telling me that my order will be taking a little longer since they're making fresh chicken. Like it usually happens, the carhop takes your card and tells you to pull up and you won't see them again till your order is ready. I called the store someone answer the phone and immediately hung up the call. I did try calling them back a couple of times and kept getting a busy line. read more

Bush's Chicken - 16 piece chicken tender, Tuesday Special - Chicken Wings Near Me - Converse, Texas

I hate to be the one who gives a one star review to a place my family & I love, or used to love but tonight was GROSS! We stopped eating at this location about 6-7 months ago because we found a dead roach mixed into our box of tenders. Tonight we decided to give it another try and it was a fail!! We got tenders again and all was ok until my daughter poured gravy on her plate and a dead fly came out in the gravy! How disgusting. It has to be a sign for us to never eat at this location. We didn't waste our time going back for a refund, it's just an all around disappointment. read more

The grilled chicken breast and the corn nuggets are the bomb. The chicken is grilled to perfection. The sweet tea is the best in Texas, I'm a southern gal, good sweet tea is hard to find, but excellent sweet tea is almost impossible to find. The price is right, for great food. The employees are very nice. The restaurant, bathrooms and parking lot is super clean!! read more

Y'all need to get it together and stop giving and serving old hard food it's bad, I don't care what time it is. If you are open deliver with greatness. This place has good food but y'all need to care for what y'all give out because you are making this place look very bad. Get better at what you deliver and how you serve people. I couldn't even eat my food I wouldn't even give it to my dog it was so bad and hard and old, because y'all want to hurry and shut down. Get better appreciate your job quality or quantity. read more
