Found myself out and about having forgotten to eat. Looking for a protein hit without a massive carb load, decided to try Bush's baked chicken. Available today were breast or leg. Went breast. Well, seasoned, fall of the bone. Nice flavor. But. So Sahara-dry that it was hard to swallow. Did the job. Opted only for a piece of chicken no roll or sides. $2.70 Fair price. Friendly walk up to my door service Asked for a fork, but she forgot. Be sure to have a drink read more

Bush's Chicken - Remains of baked chicken breast. Didn't eat the skin. Get a drink - Soul Food Near Me - Waco, Texas

Went by to get a quick lunch. Ordered one piece ckn okra and rootbeer. I ordered a ckn breast. Not sure what it was probably a wing . Okra burnt and I got a sweet weak tea instead of root Beer. The person that waited on me was rude also. I always go to this location and never have received bad food or service till today. This is the Waco location on Bosque and New Road read more

I used to go to Bushes 3 times a week at this location. Today put me over the edge esp with management. Ordered $40 of chicken and the managers decided to tell me I have to pay .10 per packet of serendipity then when I called they proceeded to tell me the workers are young!!! I refuse to go back to that bushes chicken I was highly disappointed and will drive further for better service from the drive through to the management..... read more

Never go 30 minutes before close...I asked her if she could make me fresh Okra, she said she would. Nope, cold Okra, cold tenders, old cold fries. $ 14.81 NOT WORTH IT ! read more

The cashier was cool but the food wasn't...chicken was funny tasting fries hard so this wasn't a place I would come back to read more

Bush's Chicken - I'm sorry but the chicken wasn't good at all...tasted weird she exchanged my chicken to tenders but just wasn't what I was expecting. - Soul Food Near Me - Waco, Texas

Interesting, yelp prompted me to take it easy on food establishments due to covid but that's not the issue here. The issue is that this company is charging consumers top dollar for chicken bones not to mention that my order was also missing items I ordered. Don't get me wrong, the wait staff are busting their tales and always are very friendly. The company needs to update their menus to reflect the actual goods and services that they are actually providing vs ripping people off. Go to Church's. At least you get what you pay for...all your chicken order not just some!! Wasted money read more

Bush's Chicken on Bosque tonight was the worst that I have had in a while. The chicken was over cooked, the Chicken skin was cooked to where it was hard to eat. The meat also looked like it was cooked in old oil. When I asked the manager he had to ask someone he said every other day. read more

Doordashed it. Bag sealed so the Dasher did not mess with it. Did not receive bread items, wrong pieces (ordered 3 breasts got a leg, thigh and breast), was rubbery meat and hard skin. Not edible. Threw it away. Want good Bush's, go to San Antonio. read more

Chicken is awesome. They carry sriracha ketchup - they're my heroes lmao. My sis doesn't like green beans so for her to say she loves it, I had to try it. They weren't super salty and they were so soft and delicious. The chicken was crispy on the outside and the meat was moist. My favorite are the corn nuggets. I never had those before coming here. Soo good! I know this should be a normal thing, but I love that my food came out hot. I have not experienced any bad things here so far. The staff is friendly, the place is kept clean. Our orders came out right and hot. I am a happy customer. read more

For some reason, we are hooked on their chicken tenders. So, our ritual would be to drop by on Tuesdays when they have a 16 tender box with 4 fluffy rolls, and gravy for $10.99. A great deal especially when they drop a few more bonus tenders in there just because! I find their Sweet Tea a bit much, so consider asking for a half and half which is cut with unsweet tea. The food here is very consistent, and I appreciate the multi-lane drive through with very cheerful, efficient hops who take and deliver your order. Do consider planning your order before you drive up. The line moves fast. If you like a clean tasting, salt and pepper crispy batter fried chicken, Bush's will treat you right. But if you like heavy seasoning and flavor, consider going to KFC or better yet, Popeyes. read more

This is one of the worst bushs as far as service goes. I arrived before 5 different cars that were all Served before me with two employees looking directly at me and ignoring me. This has happened on several occasions as well. Can't wait until slim chickens opens. read more

Bush's Chicken offers some of the best fried chicken in Texas. A staple to this meal is the white country gravy. Just know if you order two strips, you'll get 4, if you order 4 strips you'll get 6, etc. Fun, fast and gooood! read more

Got home and realized I did not receive all items I ordered and paid for. Called the restaurant, she allegedly took my name and assured me I could get the items at no charge on my next visit. I returned within a matter of days. Was told my name was not on the list for orders with missing items. The attendant and manager adamantly refused to provide the missing items at no charge because whom ever I had spoken with did not log the call. Double fail. First when they left out items I ordered and paid for and again when they flatly refused to provide the items when I returned. read more

As were sitting outside waiting to be helped we can see all the workers sitting at the register talking to each other and another one is sitting outside leaning on a car talking to I guess a friend like she doesn't have a job to be doing . Very disappointed in the service we have been getting at this location lately we stop here to get tea and sometimes food at least 3 times a week ! I guess it's time to go to a different location ! read more

Crazy busy but cranking people through the drive thru very quickly. Ordered the corn fritters, they make them fresh to order. Usually give you more chicken than what you order. read more

Bush's Chicken - Drive thru - Soul Food Near Me - Waco, Texas

Pretty great chicken. Best in central Texas. Nothing beats Bush's. They are pretty fast for the most part. Biggest drawback is the kids that work there aren't always attentive and don't always act professionally. Other than that, great place. read more

Great chicken! Great flavor! Affordable. The drive thru has fast service. My order has never been wrong. A regular customer.

Haven't been to a Bush's that wasn't delicious. This isn't pre-made food that has been sitting under a heat lamp all day. This is freshly made, quality food. And it's GOOD, y'all. I've been to this location several times over the past couple of years and have always had a positive experience. Regardless how busy they are - and they do get very busy - service has been prompt. There are plenty of young employees running in and out, checking on customers to make sure they've been taken care of. Prices are decent, quality is high, and the food is delicious. I usually prefer strips, and there's are delicious. Here lately I've been on the low carb diet so eating here is a blessing and a curse. On the one hand I can get chicken and take the skin off - golden! But on the other hand, the skin is so good! I hate not being able to eat it! Their sides are good as well as their chicken. I've tried most of them and have been happy with all of them. All in all a favorite of ours! read more

They literally just told me it would take hours to make macaroni after I paid for it, and it's a Sunday probably a busy production day, do they not like money? Would give this location 0 stars if possible. read more

This my favorite chicken place! The buffalo chicken fries are amazing and I like to come here on Tuesday for the tender Tuesday! :) Also the bread rolls are delicious everything at this place is great the employees are nice great service definitely coming back if you are a chicken lover I high recommend you to go to Bush's Chicken! read more

I cannot understand why this place is so popular. This has got to be the most tasteless chicken I have ever put in my mouth. Do they just roll this stuff in plain flour and fry it? You better use the sriracha ketchup or you won't have any flavor at all. The only thing worse than Bush's chicken is cold Bush's chicken. read more

Not only is the chicken some of the best I've ever eaten (flavor, tenderness and portion), couple this quality meal with a freshly baked yeast roll and there you have Bush's. It's truly a hidden gem, a place I look forward to when visiting the area. As fascinating to me is watching the team perform. At first they appear over staffed but as you watch the everyone in action, you truly understand the meaning of teamwork. No one ever slows down and they all work collaboratively to take care of the customers while delivering really good food. Kudos to the leadership. read more

great place for friend chicken tenders. the sweet tea is the sweetest you'll ever have. i usually get the unsweet tea. good place for a unhealthy junk food lunch of fried chicken if that's your craving. the workers are always kids and pretty good with their service. doesn't take too long. the line is always moving. read more

This is my favorite place to go when I am in a hurry and want good food. I love it! The girls are always fast and accurate with the food as they come out to your car instead of speaking to a box.The prices are getting to be a little high but it still is a really good place to eat! read more
