    Corn nuggets
    Nicki M.

    I love chicken express!! Great service, plenty of seating, clean restaurant, and good food. My fave is their fried chicken legs and corn nuggets- so yummy!

    One of the best and affordable places to get fast food fried chicken. I wished they had locations in Houston. I got the COMBO #4 TWO PIECE CHICKEN. I heard that Chicken Express has some of the best DR. PEPPER. Random but I can vouch that it was pretty good. The large was 32oz and I finished the whole thing. For my side, I got the CORN NUGGETS. The breast and thigh were way bigger than I expected. They were tender and had an extremely crunchy breading. My friend got the 4 piece tenders. The fries were nice and crispy and even though he isn't a fan of gravy he really liked the white gravy it came with because it was super peppery. Their sweet tea is diabetes. It's a little overwhelming. I recommend mixing unsweet and sweet tea to even it out. This would be one of my go-to places to go for fried chicken but alas I will just have to enjoy it when I'm in a town that has it.

    Manager posing nicely. I said I wanted a photo to document my return. I thought he was nice, but man in gray shirt to his right got angry.

    Asked for chicken tenders meal but got chicken on a bone meal instead. And they shorted me 1 piece of chicken of that, plus getting mostly wings and legs. Of 6 rolls, 3 look like someone sat a heavy box and flattened 3 of them and were trash at best. Asked for large fried okra and didn't get any. One mashed potato looked like it had a thumb indentation in it. I called about these errors as this was a drive thru order by my husband. He was upset saying they got the order completely wrong, and DIDN'T LISTEN TO HIM. He bought the chicken out of love for me and felt his efforts were thwarted due to so many mistakes. I wanted my husband to feel better. I was not upset as I understood mistakes happen, and although disappointed, was not angry and would allow the restaurant to remedy their mistakes. I called before eating at home and was told not to worry about coming back anytime soon, to come back in at my convenience. Just bring my receipt and explain what happened and they will make it right. I am chronically ill and disabled, getting out only once a month as it is a hardship on my body. So, the next day after running errands, I went inside with my receipt and explained what happened. A nice but resistant blue shirt manager in photo wanted me to go home get all the food left and come back a 3rd time with remaining food plus my receipt, only then will he will support my claim. I said that's not what the woman on the phone told me when I called the day before. I said it was an inconvenience and asked if the restaurant reimbursed for gas for 2 extra trips to get our order right? He said no. So I said I would go home, eat some chicken, and bring back the rest for a full refund since they don't refund for gas or inconvenience to customers when they get the order wrong. He said he would only refund for what we returned, nothing more. Despite the fact we were shorted on pieces of chicken and other items we paid for. I said I would take a photo which the nice blue shirt manager posed for. I said I would post a public review online. Then things turned ugly as an employee guy in a gray shirt to his right ordered me to delete the photo or he would call police on me. I said he didn't know the law, this was a public space, and I had rights to photograph and post this photo which he posed for. Then angry gray shirt employee ordered me immediately to leave the restaurant or he would call police who would put me in handcuffs and arrest me dragging me out of the restaurant. I said shame on you three times. A table of three customers witnessing the spectacle started strongly clapping loudly and boldly for me trying to hold this business accountable. One customer strongly clapping, a woman, stood up applauding for me defending my rights at being bullied and threatened out of the restaurant without resolve. (To me, the restaurant was in violation of the law via Theft of Services, and/or Assault by Threat.) I was deeply moved by the strangers public display for me. Their support was both verbal support and loud clapping gestures. They even stopped eating their food and stood up applauding me. If nothing else, I felt vindicated by these three customers. I smiled and waived to them thanking them. The woman standing told me to call my bank about what happened, and I thanked her again telling her I would call them. I started towards the door and nearly tripped on a rug that was upended. Then I heard someone say get the he// out of here, and turned around to see who said it. Then I heard someone say I hope you trip and break your neck, again not seeing who said it. But I replied, if I do trip and hurt myself, you know who I will be suing. I then walked over the rug and got in my vehicle with my receipt and no missing items or credit, no resolve, only threats and bullying, and then I drove home. Had they simply made things right as promised over the phone, I was going to purchase an additional large family fish dinner to take home. They would have had my extra cash, my trust, my future business and my respect, as well as a good review from me to post with this picture in the community. Instead, they made a foolish greedily motivated spectacle of themselves to me in front of other customers, as well as bad conduct to witnessing employees. They lost a loyal patient customer for life in me, (and possibly other customers who witnessed the threats, disrespect, and treatment of another customer.) They lost my respect and instead gained this sad review showing how their simple mistake can get turned upside down. What it looks like from the shoes of a customer who came in expecting a harmonious resolve to a simple matter as human error over food. Hurting customer relations​. Is this what our world has come to? Note: No hard feelings by me against company or employees. The manager in the blue shirt is harmless in the assault against me. The man in the gray shirt turned a public conversation upside down. To all, I forgive.

    This is the cheapest place for fried chicken for sure. But they're dipping sauce is horrible to much pepper.

    I was SO EXCITED to find out that there is a Cookshack in College Station!…read more We stopped here for lunch on a Sunday before heading home. We were BLOWN AWAY by the number of college students, dressed in their Sunday's best, openly praying over their food before enjoying some awesome chicken. It was SO NICE TO SEE! We ordered a family meal (20 pieces), 2 sides of fries and a chicken sandwich meal. We paid around $40. Great value! The food came out quick and arrived hot and fresh. I had a slight "issue" where I thought my chicken wasn't fully cooked and the manager reassured me that it was just breading but happily remade my sandwich to give me peace of mind. I REALLY appreciated that. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals, literally leaving "not a fry left behind." The size of my chicken on the sandwich was HUGE- had to be hanging off the roll by 2" on each side! Staff were phenomenal. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Love the laid back decor. Plenty of seating inside and some tables outdoors as well. Definitely recommend!

    Really good! In fact, it's a contender for my favorite fried chicken in town. The only undecided…read morewinner so far is Mess Waffles. The Cookshack has a different vibe and feels more like a lunch or dinner spot, while Mess is the perfect breakfast place. Alright, who am I reviewing again? Right. The Cookshack has some great options, and my wife and I went for the Chicken & Waffles. I chose the hottest seasoning they had--pretty sure it was ghost pepper--and yeah, it was spicy but didn't make me miserable. There was a lot of food, and it definitely filled us up. My wife got mac n cheese with hers and really enjoyed every bite. The cashier was nice and attentive. The atmosphere is great for a lunch or dinner date. Plus, they have large booths, which we really appreciate.

    Spent the day at Texas A&M and had to go get Laynes for lunch!…read more One cannot go to CStat and not get lunch at Laynes..Canes and Zaxbys do not compare.. However, I will say that all the chicken tender places since Covid went from their signature large tenders to half size smaller tenders. Not sure why or why they never went back to the larger size tenders after Covid. I ordered a 3 piece and you can see how small the size of the tenders are and I remember when two of the tenders would of equaled 1 tender before Covid. The service was great, the tenders were hot and fresh since made to order and the fries were crunchy. Nothing wrong at all with the service, taste of the food, the only complaint is how tiny the tenders are now. With all that said of course I'll still go to Laynes and glad we have one in Houston by my job.

I was quite impressed with the texture, breading, and seasoning. It wasn't overly greasy and spice level hit the spot. Temperature: we dined in to experience the freshest chicken strips possible. It did not disappoint. I think I burned the roof of my mouth on the first bite but it was worth it. Presentation: nothing to praise but no complaints either. See the photo and judge for yourself. Ambiance: small and cute. Nothing nice about it but fairly clean. Staff: friendly but not over the top. The verdict: Chick-Fil-A is still #1. Then Layne's. Then Raising Cane's. Yes - in my opinion - Layne's beats Cane's. And all 3 are way better than Whataburger and Dairy Queen. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself!
