Bush's Chicken is not my neighborhood. When I travel on I35, it is quick stop. They have been consistent over the years. Fried okra is always a win in my book. read more

Bush's Chicken - Chicken Livers with Roll and Gravy! - Fast Food Near Me - West, Texas

I usually get chicken here as we leave Waco. Their chicken tastes the way I remember back in the 60's. They didn't know kids working here are always very polite. There's nothing special about the building. The drive through and parking lot need repaving. We usually find a shady spot and eat in the car read more

Stopped by for some fried chicken gizzards and fried chicken livers as a road snack on my way home from Dallas to Austin. Went through the drive through. The employee who came out to take and bring out my order was very friendly. My meal was hot, fresh, and Slap Yo Momma Good !!! read more

I ordered a 3-piece chicken with 2 sides and a roll at the Bush's in West TX located off I-35. The toll was oviously over cooked. I asked that it be replaced with one not over-cooked. One of my sides, mac and cheese, had been under the heat light too long and had gotten a little dry. Once I realized it, I took it back up to the counter and asked for a fresh one. They told me they couldn't do that because I had already taken it to my table. What???????? So its my fault???? They should be rotating that stuff out so that its always fresh! I will not be stopping at this location when I travel North anymore! read more

Bush's Chicken in West off i-35 is only open for take-out at the moment. Keep in mind they have two lanes for drive-thru so it should be moving along pretty quick. I ordered the 8 piece giblet meal with mac and cheese as the side. It is served with gravy, a roll, and a large drink. There was an extra wait as the kitchen needed to put in a fresh batch of giblets into the fryer which meant my meal came out delicious. They apologized for the long wait but I didn't mind because the food was most definitely enjoyable. There was no shortage of condiments in the bag for your meal either. It came with ketchup, two kinds of seasoned salt, and heaping amounts of Texas Pete hot sauce. That's great service right there. We ended up eating in the parking lot since we had some spare time before heading back up to the Dallas area. There's plenty of space in the lot so having the indoor dining closed was no big deal. read more

Bush's Chicken - 8 piece giblets meal - Fast Food Near Me - West, Texas

food was cold. Got banned for no reason, I haven't been there for 3 weeks. Service is slow.

Stopped here on my way to Round Rock with my family to get drinks and a late lunch for one of my children. I ordered sweet tea and a side of fries. For one of my kids they wanted chicken tenders and fries. Service was quick and our food was hot. I loved their tea especially when driving on car trips. I do wish you could get/see your total as you order. read more

Sat in the drive thru for 10 mins before anyone got to us. Lots of people going by and no one recognized we had not been helped. Service was okay... but dont recommend read more

This place was late for 7 people orders 2 people said they was here for 20 mins and people waited 30 min to get to order they where just talking and playing around the back and no hair nets on just kids playing around read more

Bush's Chicken - The chicken was dried and there was a hair in my food some of the chicken was not cook the fries were cold - Fast Food Near Me - West, Texas

Cliff's Notes Review: (And am I showing my age with a reference to Cliff's Notes?) Above average fried chicken. Exceptionally friendly service. Plenty of condiments. Relatively clean restaurant. Couple of negatives: The parking lot has limited space -- even more so since they handle to-go orders in the parking lot without a drive-through. Drink refills are free, but you have to go to the counter for them and try to get staff's attention for said refill. read more

Does not respect truck drivers. Drove in at 9:12, walked to front door and it was locked. Employee asked me to order outside in drive thru as a walk up. 3 Employees saw me and didn't acknowledge or take my order in 5-7 I waited. A big storm was approaching so I couldn't wait any longer. read more

I stopped in here on my way to DFW for dinner with my kid. The chicken is ok and the sides are decent. The tea is excellent! It's a convenient stop and if you are looking for something a little more than kolaches in West, TX off 35 then this is the place. I ordered chicken strips with fries, a side of Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes. We dined in and had a feast. They have high chairs and a changing table in the bathroom which I used both. I'd stop here again if I were in the area and needed dinner in a pinch. read more

Bush's Chicken - Chicken tender meal - Fast Food Near Me - West, Texas

Had left over chicken and it was good cold. On the way back had the chicken livers and they had an odd after taste. Busy. Clean. Cashier very helpful. Ample seating area although we didn't stay. Meals come with biscuit and gravy which I did not try. read more

Beyoncé mentioned about this place in a couple of her songs. After I ate here I was singing too! Now that's some dang good chicken. It costs just a tad higher than some places but hit their daily specials for better value. The tenders and mixed chicken pieces were hot, crispy, flakey, crunchy perfection. The seasoning they have on their tables is good to add. Clean when I went both first and second times. I will be back when I pass through to Austin. read more

Bush's Chicken - Fast Food Near Me - West, Texas

Slow service, crew was extremely unorganized, my chicken looked as if it had been sitting under a warmer for an hour, it was dry, and I only ate one piece, didn't bother asking for a refund. Never again. read more

Man this is some good fried chicken! And the sweet tea is nothing to play with! If you make that pit stop, walk over and grab you some! They make their chicken so fresh and its like steaming hot! I ate mine in the parking lot lol just waiting on some other people to come out! I couldn't wait because it smelled so good! I love the thighs, no joke! I did get a breast which was good too, but I like how juicy the thighs are! Drumsticks are great too! We also ordered a tender basket and that was also yummy! You will want to go straight to sleep after eating that biscuit and side of potatoes! LOL! But its every bite worth it! read more

Bush's Chicken has been our dirty little travel secret for a few years now. Traveling between Austin and Dallas - West has always been on the radar for kolaches...but one day we required sustenance. Now, it's probably the "go to" spot for a quick snack or meal when passing through. Chicken strips, fried okra, yeast rolls, french fries, wing sauce, honey, and cold drinks! All these fast food treats are about as tasty as they can get. Oh, and the restrooms are usually cleaner at not nearly as crowded as they are at the nearby Czech Stop. read more

Bush's Chicken - Fast Food Near Me - West, Texas

Not only is bushes hot inside there were flies flying around everywhere near the food. The customer service is so poor, on this visit there was nothing but high school kids working. I get the feeling that they're just at this job to get gas money and they don't care about you or your wait. The drive through was a parking lot so I decided to go in. I waited at the counter for 7 minutes (I know it was 7 minutes because there's a huge clock by the door). While standing there I counted 7 kids behind the counter, no one helped. One guy was free enough to refill some kids soda, but too busy to take my order. I ended up leaving. It was a terrible experience. read more

Oh no what happened!! This is nothing like the one back home. I realize they cannot control the way the water tastes but I really was expecting a much better sweet tea. The food had a different flavor too. Seasonings or spices or something seriously lacked here and my craving was completely deflated and left unsatisfied. The service however is consistently fantastic, superb, over the top, at every location. At leas there is one part of the chain that I can continually count on. read more

Worst chicken tenders ever. All I tasted was salty ass chicken tenders. Ordered a Number 2 which was 6 tenders but instead was given 2 tenders inside rolls. Didn't open my box until a few miles down the road. I could only eat 1 tenders so if I was given 5 I would have tossed them all out anyways. Best thing about my meal was the Dr Pepper. Over priced, i highly suggest you just stay hungry a bit longer and find somewhere better to eat. read more

Ok, it was better that Chicken Express. We were grease starved from the weekend in Austin and nothing in Waco seemed appetizing so we did what any typical person might do.... wait until you get to podunk-ville and want a Kolache but figure you should eat dinner first. No, really, we stopped here so we could eat before walking to the Czech stop. It was actually good! We shared the 4 strip plate with fried Okra. Their "Bush's Seasoning" was just the right kind of salty. Now their wing sauce.... OMFG that puts hair on your chest. The food was hot and fresh, the restaurant was clean. It was cheap. No real complaints. read more

Straight up NASTY. The place was dirty, the food was marginal at best, and God forbid if you have to utilize the restroom while you are here...there was literally used toilet paper on the floor amongst debris. Seriously, go someplace else, anywhere, other than here. read more

I have actually never heard of Bush's Chicken until my boo said we must stop there before we head to Austin. When we pulled up to Bush's Chicken there were several cars in their drive-thru, which is setup more like a drive-in. We opted to go inside to order since we had to get back on the road. It was clean on the inside and the workers were mostly high school kids and young adults. The server took our order and I told him I have never had Bush's chicken before. He immediately assisted me with picking out a meal and a side item. We order the chicken fingers, fries and corn nuggets. I LOVE CORN NUGGETS and theirs were GOOOD. The chicken batter was light and flaky which made the chicken really good. Overall it the service was good, the chicken was hot & fresh, and if I am in the area I would definitely eat there again. read more

After seeing several Bush's Chicken along I-35, I finally decided to give them a try. I'm not one to shy away from giving any fried chicken place a taste especially if it's one that's been able to expand to multiple stores. The staff was friendly, and asked me if I wanted some serendipity seasoning. No clue what it is, but if it's unique to Bush's - I wanted to try it ! With a box of chicken and a cup of their ice tea, I was ready. The chicken reminded me of Church's, but not quite. The server had brought out a "regular" and a "spicy" serendipity seasoning for me to try as well. Let me say that the regular version reminds me of what you'd get inside instant ramen noodles flavor packs. I guess others might like this, but I moved on to the spicy version. The spicy version was MUCH better in my opinion. Good kick, much bolder seasoning. The chicken didn't really need it, but it did bring a kick to it. Bush's chicken gets the thumbs up from me. Maybe I was just hypnotized after seeing several Bush's "chicken hurdling" signs off I-35. Well it worked, and I would certainly go back. read more

Bush's Chicken - Mine was hot and fresh - tasty ! - Fast Food Near Me - West, Texas

This place was a pit stop between Dallas and Austin so the boyfriend could get his fried chicken fix. He also loves their sweet tea and fried okra. It's a lot like Chicken Express or KFC so I was able to order some sides. The macaroni was meh, corn on the cob was fresh, cole slaw was ok. Bonus points for root beer! read more

Finally d coded to stop here and give it a try. Only 1 other table of 5 in here and I ordered the chicken strip meal. The chicken and rolls were hot but th fries were cold and tasted old. Even though hardly anyone was in here I noticed they had food cooked to serve an army. Not sure if they were about to be busy but food just sitting doesn't taste good. I paid almost $11 for the meal and definitely it was not worth it. The lady who took our older was not very friendly either. Don't get your hopes up. read more

Giant hair in my chicken. Half the employees aren't wearing hats and standing around the cooked food. Thanks for giving me my money back though read more

My casual stop whenever i get on the i-35e. Conveniently located next to Czech Stop, Bush's chicken has good chicken tenders and sweet tea. Very affordable and comparable to the Golden Chick or Chicken Express. Be sure to spice your chicken with the Serendipity Seasoning and hot sauce. It's nice read more

So I generally don't go to fast food chicken restaurants BUT I do like Bush's chicken. I overdosed on okra though because I just couldn't stop myself. If fast food is your thing, then you will love Bush's. Portions are generous and reasonably priced. I probably ate a month's worth of fried calories but it was oh-so-good! The bathrooms needed attention but they were better than I expected. read more

Clueless staff!!!! We called in our order to save time because we were driving into West from Gholson. When we arrived, the staff was unprepared. Brittney had taken the phone order and had failed to write it down, so she didn't even start our livers and gizzards until we arrived. We had to repeat the order and then the staff got that wrong. Second time I have ordered food here, and the second time it was filled incorrectly. The food is not so great that it is worth the inconvenience. read more

I am not from Waco, but I happened to be traveling through town. I've heard this place is a must stop for chicken. It did not disappoint. The staff was very friendly, the food came out promptly, but most importantly it was hot and definitely fresh. This is seriously the tastiest chicken I've had in my life. The batter was just right. Crispy with the perfect amount of salt. I had both the tenders and a chicken breast. Now let me tell you about the cream gravy they give you as a dipping sauce, it was heavenly. It took me back to my Grandma's kitchen! I also had the green beans, fried okra, and these amazing corn nuggets. They had pieces of corn and cream style corn inside. So sweet, different, and delicious! Plus, who doesn't love fried okra and green beans with chicken? The cole-slaw was sweet, just the way I like it. Their rolls were hot and fluffy and had obviously just come out of the oven. This place did not taste like fast food to me. I'm just sorry I don't live in Waco! read more

My husband and I stopped here for lunch on the way to my monthly Czech stop run. Not much different than Chicken express. not as good as Church's Chicken. Nothing really special. It was ok. read more

The best chicken!!! No other Bush's tastes like ours here in West!! Though the chicken on the west coast is good, this Bush's is right up there, must be the water. Oregon does have the best cheese!!!! read more

I love bushes however there's nothing I love about the bushes in West Texas. There food is never fresh and when you ask for fresh food they give you mean looks and just reheat the old stuff. I have seen flies and also the employees are all young children who are disrespectful including the managers. I don't recommend this place at all read more

Was given the wrong food, when I asked for it to be corrected I was given my money back & asked not to return by the child manager.

I am assuming this is the same ownership as the Bush Chicken in Waco where we have eaten for many years. The chicken and menu looked the same. I like to have the ability to ordered exactly the piece of chicken that I can recognize and here when I order a chicken breast that is what is served me not some unrecognizable piece of white meat. The chicken is fried just the way we like it hot and moist and not dried out. This place is really very informal with most people picking up the chicken and eating with the fingers. Prices we felt are most reasonable especially for the specific pieces we always ordered. read more

I love the flavor of the food, however this location must be ran by young people who fail to realize who actually pays their wages! At least five out of the fifteen and probably more tables were filthy. Three employees were leaning against the wall and just bullshitting. I can understand if the place was packed full of customers but I am only one! The floor could use a good scrubbing. Watching them clean the table I observed them cleaning the trays at the counter where the food is purchased do you anyway the actually clean the trays was just wiping them off I'm not sure but I don't think it's very sanitary they probably need a good scrubbing they probably haven't been scrubbed for the last five years or however long this place is been in existence! I will never ever step foot in this location ever again!!!! Absolutely disgusting! read more

Ehhhh, it was alright. Not great. Not "bad." Nothing to write home about. But, I like Williams Chicken (DFW area) much better.
