    the food from here is consistent and is delicious. the mashed potatoes and gravy with the corn nuggets and chicken is yummy.

    Half spicy and half regular

    Food was hot and fresh. New spicy chicken tenders is what I tried. You can do half regular and half spicy. Thanks for the cashier for offering that! I wouldn't have known. It's good I did get half and half, these tenders are spicy! The gravy helps offset some of the spiciness. I think the best seller here is the sweet tea and the yeast rolls. So good!

    Good lord!!! i dont know what changed at this location but i love it! No itty bitty chicken nuggets they want to call a strip. Nice workers. Communication great thought the drive through lady did rush me to order (no biggie.) everyone inside super nice and considerate! Thank you!!

    chicken head

    First of all came here with the impression that i would get a nice meal with me and my friend. we got the #8 which is 8 pieces of chicken with a family side and we sat down to eat when we discovered the most grotesque thing in our meal. There was literal chicken HEAD in our box which made us extremely nauseous and immediately lost our appetite. definitely will not be coming back and would like a refund if possible because of this horrid experience.

    Dinner time!

    My family was wanting some fried chicken and we never have anything other than the chicken strips from here, so we decided to try out the mixed chicken (legs, thighs, breasts) We went through the drive thru and the guy taking our order was so polite and you could actually tell he enjoyed his job. And while we were paying at the window the smell coming through was so heavenly and all you could hear is all the employees laughing and joking, it's nice seeing people genuinely happy at their workplace. So the chicken, wow, crispy on the outside and juicy and hot on the inside, great flavor! Then the yeast rolls.. oh my goodness paired well worth the chicken, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. We have been here 3 times in the last month and a half. Definitely impressed.

    Green ball skin that SHOULD be removed when they're being cleaned before cooking. Was on 3 of 4 of my gizzards. UNACCEPTABLE!!!

    3 of my gizzards were NOT cleaned properly. They had the green ball skin on them still. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!!! The 3 livers, were parts of a chicken liver. We paid for 2 meals and received 2 snacks. Hubby got the 4 tender "meal". Smallest tenders I've ever seen. Almost comparable to nuggets. NEVER GOING BACK.

    Horrible horrible old decrepit food. Went by and asked for fresh rolls and they gave me burnt old rolls as you can see in the picture. Whatever you do do not go there I told them specifically give me fresh rolls and I should've checked but they usually come through. Never again.

    7 piece tenders, half regular and half spicy with fries and a roll $10.99

    PAINFULLY SLOW. Rolls and tea are good, the rest is meh. Seriously, though, it is just absurd how slow they are.

    We have been to Roots Southern table several time and it never disappoints. We started with their…read morevanilla old fashion which had a nice vanilla sugar rim. Smooth and refreshing. For dinner we had the fried chicken, southern greens, and hop john rice. The chicken is one of the best. I can't think of one better. They fry it in duck fat which gives it a great flavor and texture. The southern greens comes with corn bread/hush puppies for soaking up the greens liquor. The Hop John rice paired well with the chicken. This place is special.

    I'm honestly shocked it has taken me this long to leave a review. I can't say enough good things…read moreabout Roots Southern Table. This place is truly something special, from the gracious hospitality to the incredible menu. The menu delivers elevated Southern comfort food that somehow manages to feel both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. I've worked my way through almost the entire menu over multiple visits, and I can honestly say that everything is incredible. Every time I take someone new there, I tell them that there hasn't been one dish that I've ever thought "meh" about. Every dish is so flavorful and outstanding. That said, I absolutely have my go-to order: the cornbread (a must), the southern greens, and the fried chicken. The cornbread is almost like a melt in your mouth dessert, that I happily start every visit with. The greens are packed with rich, savory flavor, and I'm not kidding when I say that every time I have them, I literally dream about them for weeks after. And the duck fat fried chicken? Crispy, juicy, and hands-down some of the best I've ever had. Beyond the food, the whole experience just feels thoughtful, from the quality of ingredients to the execution of every dish. You can tell there's real intention behind everything coming out of the kitchen. If you're anywhere near Farmers Branch, this spot is worth going out of your way for. And if it's your first visit--trust me, get the cornbread, southern greens, and fried chicken. You'll be dreaming about it later.

    This place rocks! We are in town for a graduation. We asked my Niece where do you want to eat after…read moregraduation. She said Babes. We saw the menu and were kind of like ok what kind of a chicken place is this. It was her choice so we went. Our waiter(forgot his name) was cool and was very attentive to us. First sign of a good waiter/server is our cups were never empty. Its been a while that my cup has never been empty. For the food it rocked. Your biscuits are addictive. I dont know what you put in them but we ate alot of them. The dressing on the salad was not over powering. Now for the chicken. We had tenders, fired, smoked and even some chicken fried steak. It was all juicy and tender. What had us surprised was there was no oil on the plate when it was served. The breading on all the chicken stayed crunchy. What ever you do to the chicken keep doing it. The corn, green beans and the mashed potatoes were on point. They are their own food group. Im not a green bean person. I had 2 servings. The gravy just made everything taste better. The deserts tasted like they came from grandmas kitchen. Whats the chances you would open a location in Las Vegas Nevada. Its going to get expensive to drive here every time we what fried chicken. Keep doing what you're doing. It works.

    THIS IS A HUGE RAVE TO BABE'S CHICKEN HOUSE IN GRANBURY!…read more On Sunday, March 29, my wife and I went to Babe's Chicken House in Granbury. We were met immediately and seated promptly. Our server was a young lady named Lauren. More on Lauren shortly. This was not our first trip to Babe's Chicken House. But it had been a while, definitely too long, since we were here when we came years ago, we would usually order a chicken each. Now we are in our golden years and we can't eat that much, so we split one. But it was just as delicious as it has been each previous time! The Chicken was fried too absolutely perfection! The golden brown skin was seasoned perfectly and was very crunchy, just the way we like it. And the meat was hot and fork tender, Oh, I still prefer to use My fingers. The sides of green beans, corn, and mashed potatoes and gravy were off the hook! I'm not sure how they cook that corn, but they can come over to my house and cook it anytime! We both drank a sweet tea with lemon, very, very cold and lots of ice! About Lauren: Lauren is a local young lady who has a constant smile on her face. I never saw her not smiling while we were here. I watched her as she engaged in conversation with many people, both employees and customers, and she was an extremely pleasant young woman. But to my wife and I, she was an absolute, unfettered joy! She kept our tea glasses filled, and Make sure that we had plenty of potatoes and gravy, corn, and green beans. She did all of this as well as tending to her other customers I think that she is one of those young ladies who is so personable that she has the gift of making everyone feel as though they are the most important customer to her. I know that is the way that we felt. My wife had ordered some vegetables to go, And had mentioned this to Lauren when we ordered our chicken. We were nearly finished with a meal when Lauren arrived at the perfect time with the "to go order." She remembered when many such servers in the past at other venues Have forgotten. I need to address one other thing that I frequently hear people complain about. Yes, babes does serve instant potatoes. When you feed as many people in a day and in a week or over a holiday weekend, as they do, something has got to give. And by the way, those instant potatoes are absolutely delicious! I don't know what they do to them, but they are incredible! So if that's your own gripe, find something else to gripe about and instead insert some positivity into your review! This was the most pleasant dining experience that I've had in years and it was because the food was good and Lauren's service to my wife and I was even better! The only suggestion would be that Lauren gets paid more! She's clearly not being paid enough! As for Babe's Chicken dinner house, we will be back! Thank you all so much! And you take good care of our Lauren, because we want her the next time we come! All of y'all who read this review and then go to babes, be sure that you ASK FOR LAUREN! SHE'S A ROCKSTAR!

It was pretty packed when I came on a weekend, so I'd recommend reservations. The chicken and waffles were top notch. It was a pretty hefty portion for the price. The chicken was crispy and the waffles had structure. The side of gravy made it a hundred times better. Definitely worth it! The banana bread French toast was ok; nothing mind blowing there. I did have a bite of shrimp and grits and it was melt-in-your mouth oozing with flavor. This was brunch done right!

    Such a wonderful dining experience and delicious food!…read more I and two others came on a Saturday morning at 11:15am and the restaurant was almost a full house - thank goodness for reservations. Eric, our waiter, was incredibly attentive despite how busy he was. Empty plates were cleared and waters were refilled in a timely manner. We also didn't have to wait much for our food to come out after ordering. WHAT WE ORDERED - chicken and waffle: I personally didn't order this, although this dish made it to the clean plate club - gulf shrimp and grits: this was beyonddd delicious and flavorful! The grits were so creamy and buttery. It came with a perfect amount of shrimp that were seasoned beautifully, had the perfect texture and bite, and had a nice touch of smokiness from the grill. The sauce and crunchy bacon bits truly brought the entire dish together to form the perfect bite - banana bread french toast: I was told this was alright - gumbo: We ordered 2 cups of these and had it as our appetizer. The gumbo had an abundant amount of chicken, sausage, rice, and the holy trinity. It truly tasted like authentic gumbo Coming from Southeast Texas where Creole food is more accessible, I am sooo glad my brother recommended this place. I am definitely coming back when I need my Creole fix!

The chicken itself was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with that signature seasoning that keeps you coming back for more.
