    Dry, hard, cold 3 Pc Chicken w/ Roll

    This place tonight, Saturday arrived at 9pm, was pathetic. 1st Order placed for 3 drumstick dinner with 3 jalapeños. 2nd was 2 chicken tenders dinner. No one inside and we were only one inline. Time now 9:17 and the girl comes out empty handed and tells us no drumsticks and if they have to order , it would take 20 minutes. I then just asked for 3 breast to replace drumsticks. 9:25 no chicken yet, 9:30 I decided to go inside. No chicken at all on the counter she tells me they were out if fries so they were waiting for them to cook. I looked around and s manager was closing a bag that I had noticed was full of cooked chicken and take it to the back. On the fries table were boxes of chicken , opened, sitting over on the side. I was given out order and left. Upon getting home , opening up the boxes to find COLD, HARD pieces of dried chicken in one box and 2 of the tiniest, cold chicken tenders in the other. WTF? Sign says closes at 10 not 9 or hell from the look of it earlier. The sad thing was we had just left Bill Millers down the street that we walked in not realizing they were closing in "6" minutes and when we asked about fried chicken, we were told they were out but were happy to drop more in and get it to us. We replied No since we understood they were about to close but they attempted again to let us know that they were happy to drop in and cook us some regardless of almost closed. People , AVOID BUSH's children on Nacodoches by the HEB!!! Pathetic food and CS

    This is like a chicken breading cluster, I guess?

    What happened when I was feeling extra horrible on Tuesday & I didn't want to make dinner? I suggested Bush's Tuesday tender special for dinner. You get 16 Tenders, 4 rolls & gravy for $16.99, I think. We never got a receipt. It used to be $12.99 but the cost has gotten 'bigger' while the chicken strips have gotten smaller. By smaller I mean that they look like skinny pieces of jerky or some actually look like breaded nuggets of breading w a small chunk of chicken hidden inside. These "chicken" strips were terrible. We ordered a family side of okra. We requested that it be made fresh & hot and said we'd be happy to wait if we could just get the okra AND chicken strips fresh. So, we waited... and waited (while they made chicken jerky) and that is absolutely fine. :) However, did we get it fresh food? NOPE! It was all chewy & had obviously been sitting under a heat lamp for quite awhile? The rolls were chewy. Almost like they'd been microwaved. Weird. The gravy tasted great but umm it's horrible for you.... Who am I kidding? All of this is but that's not the point. Had the food been fresh & hot, it would've TASTED horribly good & I'd have given it 5 stars but instead it was bad. I'm giving the 1 star bc the gravy was yummy. Oh & I was going to say that the staff is usually really nice but then my next thought was "but forgetful". So, yeah they ARE nice but you HAVE to check your bag for everything before you drive away. 90% of the time, something is missing. We asked for ketchup & Serendipity seasoning. We got home, neither were in the bag w our chewy okra & rolls, chicken nuggets/jerky and yummy gravy. Bright side: They can make yummy gravy! Should it really matter that it is basically just flour, milk, butter, salt & pepper? Pass on by this location. Clog your arteries elsewhere. I wish I had. ;)

    Super weird... No prices!?!?

    Not sure how I really feel about this place. The food was decent but it's very strange that there were no prices marked on the walls which is where you would drive through to see them. The chicken was very flavorful but extremely small? This seems to be a theme at all chicken places recently. I know we're all struggling with covid type aftershocks but I think if you're going to make your product much smaller or if you're having trouble getting correct orders then it should be reflected in the prices. The price is by the way we're not posted? I literally had no clue how much my meal was going to cost, even as the girl was writing down my order she was not sure. The only time I got confirmation on the price of my meal was when they brought my receipt out for me to sign LOL However the bright side is, the servers are super cool, very friendly and definitely make the visit worthwhile. There were apparently three of them working the drive-thru and they were all smiles, waving and seemed to be extremely polite to everyone that was in the lines. If not for them I would probably give this one or two stars... WAY TO GO SERVICE! HOPEFULLY BUSHES REALIZES YOU ARE KEEPING THEM A FLOAT!!

    It's a cool spot. Just not fond of paying $7 for a 2 piece. Chicken is an abundant and cheap food. I have had better chicken at churches for half the price. However they come out to the car to take your order. and Mike at this location was a hoot. Funny guy but don't go over board.

    Hair I found in my mash potatoes Nov 12th 2017

    So up until today I was all for this location. I was on thousand oaks and was going to go to that location. However, I saw a review about them serving old mash potatoes and roaches in there flour on Google. No way I'm eating somewhere after knowing that so I drove to this one since I was craving Mac n Cheese and Mash Potatoes. I get my food and head home and half way through my mash potatoes I see a hair. At first I thought it was mine but when I go to remove it I start pulling and a LONG strain of hair, NOT MINE comes right out of my mash potatoes cup! Anyone making food should where hair nets! I was really disappointed and it ruined my whole Appétit. Upset I wasted my gas and money to get someone else's HAIR in my food...just nasty. Needless to say I will only get sweet tea going forward.. Thankfully you can't mess that up.

    Soggy, fell apart, cold

    This is for all locations. It's absolutely ridiculous that the prices are that high for dry chicken.

Hard to hear and she seemed to be bothered taking orders. Inside radio too loud. Fries were not as hot as corporate expects. So a solid 4. Will be back.

    The girl that took the order (I think her name is Julia or Jillian) she's pictured was so sweet and…read morepatient with taking our order we had two separate orders. When I find something I like. I tend to frequent the establishment because it's something I enjoy. However on this particular evening it didn't go well. Sienna is at the window to take the cash and hand over the orders. I had two separate orders and paid cash for both. I paid for the first received my change, paid for the second I get the sodas (which always taste weird but by the looks of the machine I see why) I asked Sienna where's my change she says you paid $12.41 which was the total I said No. I gave you $20.50 so I knew I was supposed to get $8.09 back she calls over a manager our food is ready so I guess sienna explains to her that I want my change. The manager is at the window her name is Sophia she ask for my receipt I give it to her she counts the drawer down. I get it but she could've asked them to make our food fresh since it sat there while she counted the drawer so it's getting cold due to an error. So she finished counting the drawer apologized, gave us the food and a complimentary cheesecake jar for the troubles.
