First timer at Chicken n' pickle tonight. This location is more about pickleball than it is about the food. Really great facility and the ambience is fun! We came Saturday night (10 - midnight) and reserved the indoor court via the website. We initially reserved an hour and had so much fun that we stayed for two. We were a party of six - mix of older and young adults and teenagers. Facility provides paddles and balls at extra cost, however you can bring your own if have them. The courts were all full and it didn't feel overcrowded; it's spacious. Music selection and volume was great and the temp in the facility is just right. You can work up a sweat and it's not hot inside. They also have water available in coolers and refill stations at no additional cost. The outdoor area is cool with lounge chairs, turf grass, covered outdoor courts, bean bag games, and oversized games like jenga and connect 4. However, like the prior reviews, the food is mediocre. We ordered the cheeseburger with fries, fried pickles, and two specialty drinks. Staff was friendly and refunded a non alcoholic beverage that someone in my party didn't like without hassle. I will definitely come back. Cool spot to bring family from out of town especially if the group is looking for an activity. read more

Chicken N Pickle - Facility - Pickleball Near Me - Allen, Texas

I cannot believe this is my first time coming here. Atmosphere/Ambiance - 5/5 - This area is very close to the Hub, where I think most people up north know that area. This place has 2 open area courts and then a few that are covered (in a building). It has a large play area for the kids, and also have plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. Staff - 5/5 - Very Friendly. They explained the process regarding both Pickleball court reservations and the main reason why we were there (V day event). Food/Drink - We came on Sunday, which is their Sunday brunch $26 from 10 am - 2 pm). We had the following (at the buffet): - The kid's 'table' had cheese pizza and HUGE tenders. Both were great. - Mini Salmon Avocado Toast - 5/5 - These get refilled, but go by fast. - Omelet station - Plenty of toppings to choose from. - Smoked Salmon - 5/5 - This is where you get your money's worth. - Waffles - Great for the kids. - There are additional stations in the back that had scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, fruits and pastries (along with ice cream) Last but not least, they have $1 mimosas. However, you must purchase the buffet before indulging. Overall, this place has everything from pickleball to great food and drinks. Will definitely be back. read more

The courts are nice. Since it's winter we played indoor. Food was ok in terms of quality. Their skirt steak was good. But for $17 it didn't have much.. portion was on smaller side. Not sure if it's enough for a big guy. For women and kids, it maybe enough quantity. Wagyu burger .. again the portion was not big and while it tasted ok .. just not as tasty as wagyu should be. Service was great... in 2.5 hours we sat down and talked. They must have checked on us 10x.. asking if everything's ok. It's a popular place though, must reserve early read more

Such a fun, family friendly place to play some pickleball! They have indoor and outdoor courts, balls and paddles to use, and full service bar and tasty menu. We came here for a team bonding trip with our work and it was perfect - the time went by too fast! We had one hour indoors, and then moved outdoors. Wasn't too hot, but I ca picture it getting really hot in the summer time. Can't wait to book another fun outting with the team! read more

Chicken N Pickle - Indoor Court - Pickleball Near Me - Allen, Texas

I was nervous coming into chicken and pickle because I read all the reviews but my experience was otherwise. My husband booked two courts for my birthday! We had about 16 people split the two courts. It worked out because some people ate first while some people played and then we switched off. At first I thought 2 hours wouldn't be enough time but it ended up being plenty. We got the bacon bird which was okay (little burnt) but the tator tots it came with was fire. One Tiny complaint: they do book reservations back to back. So they kick you off your courts really fast when another reservation comes in. I didn't like the pressure of being rushed. We were told that there wasn't a reservation for 30 mins so we were okay with being on the court but as soon as a new reservation came in they had to get us off quickly and I didn't like being rushed like that. I feel like they should allot 15mins in between reservations so that we're not pressured to rush off the court. They weren't being mean about it or anything, just rushed. The place was clean and well kept. There's lots of space, cool turf area for kids and gatherings outdoors in the middle. Didn't get to check out the restaurant side, so we'll have to come back and check it out. PARENTS: there are diaper changing tables in the women's RR. read more

We had a great time here. We played for 30 mins which seemed like an hour. Lol. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. One guy even offered us ice water after noticing us slowing going down . lol. The food is ok and it was too hot for adult beverages. There is a fee if you don't bring your own paddle and ball . The place is vet spacious and perfect for a party or team building read more

Such a great idea! Hope one of these comes to Reno soon! Pickleball while you eat and drink. We even played outside on the covered courts in 40 degree weather. Make sure you make your reservations early. The food was ok, but the courts are very nice complete with TX decor. read more

The location is very convenient & nice ambiance. There's a lot of staff so service was quick. All of the drinks we ordered were delicious. The chicken wings and sandwiches were way too salty. However I loved the deviled eggs and chicken and waffles read more

The Happiest Place on Earth!...Well, in Allen!!! We went here to celebrate my daughter's 12th birthday and set it up as a SURPRISE. We had friends & family come to total 13 guests. We rented 1 court for 2 hours (should have gotten 2...live & learn) and had the BEST time. The food also was beyond expectation--Their Chicken is !!! Literally CANNOT wait to go back-- Everyone said it's the best Bday party they've gone to in FOR EV ER!!! We had ages 7 to 78 on the court today! All were smiling, having fun, OFF the SCREENS, and making memories read more

I am delinquent in submitting this review. My husband and I got takeout dinner for the household on Friday, 8/15/25. We ordered the Chicken and Waffles, 8pc Wings (Southwest), Tasty Tots, Pork Ribs, Chorizo Queso, Quesadilla (Carnitas), and Brookie Brownies. Unfortunately, the only thing that was good was the queso. The biggest letdown was that the brownies were hard. We love brownies - but not those. Some friends of the family like this place, so we may give it another shot as a group activity. read more

Had a great time here on a Saturday evening! There is plenty to do! There are indoor and outdoor courts, outdoor activities/yard games, and tons of food options! All the food looked so great I ordered something to go. Our server was kind and informative, and there was plenty of staff around to answer questions. I would definitely come back! read more

The service was a mess from the moment we arrived. No one seemed to know what was happening or who was supposed to be helping us. The food took forever to come out, and when it finally did, it was burned. Not "crispy" actually burned. Overall, a really disappointing experience. This is our second time here. We won't be back. read more

we had a delightful lunch with fun for both adults and children! The food was delicious and the staff were attentive and treated us with excellence. Shout out to Nicki (manager), Erick, Aaliyah and Avery for making this outing extra special for our families! read more

I feel like it could've been more but it's so spread out it felt very life less... I've been to a few pickle ball places especially in ATX and let me just say it was lacking in ambiance. The food was mediocre and the service was not great. I had to literally get up and go to the help desk every time I needed something because the "servers" were no where to be found. (I have 14 years of service industry experience from bar to fine dining) it was definitely not the best for many reasons. This place could be great but definitely needs some work over all. I went on a Sunday. read more

Super fun spot to take the family. Great food, atmosphere, and clean restrooms. Avery was incredibly kind and made our experience wonderful!! read more

First off the service was not as good as I expected. Once we sat down, we met our waiter while deciding drinks. Once we were ready to order, we called our waiter many times in which he never responded. It seemed he was taking care of every other table but us. We had to go to the front desk just to order, and our waiter only came by once to check on us after we got food. Food wise, it was decent. I enjoyed the chicken with waffles while playing trivia. The restaurant had a good ambience. It wasn't too busy but not too empty. We never played pickle ball, but we might come another time to play. I'm feral it was an alright experience, but service really needs to improve a lot. read more

I love the entertainment part of this place but when we arrived mid afternoon, the pickle ball courts were already reserved until 10 p.m. so if that is what you plan to do arrive early or maybe call to see if you can also reserve over the phone. Not sure because it was our first time. We were ok with not playing pickle ball because we have those courts where I live. They have cornhole, battleship, ping pong to name some of the other games I noticed. Beautiful weather the day we went for our group. I will say the waiting staff is set up where different waiters/waitresses come to help from the initial drink order, to the actual appetizer and overall food order and refills etc. We had a hard time initially when we arrived with service just to get drinks going. When we finally received the service, we noticed way more staff coming to check on us. The manager also came over to us, apologized for all the waiting time and any confusion and comped our desserts and some drinks on our tabs. She also gave me two gift cards ($20) for our group for our next visit. I've heard about this place before we went and was just expecting more from the food side of it. The chicken reminded me more of the flavoring from that of the big chicken legs you see at the State Fair. The smell reminded me of it too. It wasn't terrible but when I was thinking rotisserie, I was thinking the vibe/flavor from a place like Boston Market or even the rotisserie style chicken you get from the stores. We also tried the fried pickles. They were ok. The alcoholic drinks were great and we very much appreciated the manager visit and how she took care of us. If we were to go again, we may just stick with drinks and a different appetizer. Love how spacious this place is! read more

I had to check it out, it will be my first and last visit. Food was mediocre at best. Operated by essentially children. I did not go to play pickle ball, I couldn't speak about the courts, but it's extremely basic. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but the experience left me pretty frustrated. I checked the website ahead of time and saw that they had a happy hour from 9-11 p.m. with $6 margaritas. That is the main reason I went and took all my friends there so late at night. That sounded great -- but when I got there and asked the bartender about it, they had no idea what I was talking about. Still wanting a margarita, I went ahead and ordered what was listed on the menu as an $8 "short" margarita. Later on, I checked with someone else and they did confirm there was a happy hour -- so I figured it would be $6 after all. But when the bill came, I was actually charged $10 per drink, which made absolutely no sense based on the menu or the happy hour details online. No one working seemed to be on the same page, and honestly, the margaritas weren't even good enough to justify the price. The staff was friendly enough, but the lack of clarity and communication around pricing really soured the experience. Please update your website and make sure your team knows the actual happy hour details -- it would save a lot of confusion. read more

Never having played pickle ball, it was definitely a fun first time. Went for a friends party. We played, got good drinks. Its a fun spot and something different to do with friends. read more

A great place to eat, drink, and play pickleball. Fantastic service, clean indoor courts and bathroom, along with well-prepared food & daily specials, read more

You know; the thing that sucks is this is SUCH a fun place to hangout but the food is just absolutely disgusting. They really need to work on quality and taste. They could make so much more money here if the food was enjoyable. Oh, and don't even think about drinking the water. It's straight from the toilet. So if you're out there playing games and need water. Bring your own. read more

If you are into Pickleball or just having fun at a great and well kept outdoor facility look no further. The staff was super friendly and the food was good. We enjoyed our time playing corn hole, ping-pong, Jenga, and of course, a couple games of pickle ball. read more

We have had 2 events here and the staff is always so friendly and helpful! Delicious chicken tenders, drinks and room for the kids to play.

The food was so good and I have to go back again. And it was clean and they are friendly people as well

We came here as a group with kids last night to check it out. It was my first time going and it was a lot of fun! The staff was very nice and easy to order food which was really good!

We LOVE CNP!! The food is REALLY good & the atmosphere is a lot of fun. You just need to plan a couple of weeks in advance to get a court reserved. We'll be back a lot! read more

We just celebrated my wife's birthday this past weekend with 25 adults and over 10 kids and it was amazing how flawless everything was from the food to the service. Big shoutout to Braedon (sorry if I misremembered your name) for taking care of such a big party by himself. Also big thank so Jessica for helping me with the reservation. And even bigger thanks to the chef/chefs. We were expecting cheap bar food that you get with places similar to this business model and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was fantastic. Thank you again everyone!!! read more

Had a group of 40 plus employees for a corporate event and the server Navaeh refuse to serve us because we had a Charlie Kirk sticker on the credit card. Zach on the other hand was really great and got a HUGE tip for his excellent service. We are about to post the video all over social media. lets see what everyone thinks about it!!! read more

This place is really neat! Came here for lunch on a Sunday and it wasn't crowded. Service was friendly and the food was really good! I ordered the double flat burger with bacon and it was definitely one of the better burgers I've had here in Dallas. The chicken and waffles were really good as well. And the kids meals are also generously portioned! Their outdoor area is perfect for the kids to play while you wait for your food. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Lots of kids outside. So more for families. The servers are kinda rude and inattentive. Bartenders are great. Drinks are average at best. Food is a little above average. If you aren't playing pickle ball then don't come. read more

Pickle ball was great, food service was the worst, actually asking for anything was terrible, waited 30min for a water? and then i was asked 5 times for my order, it was just a salad nothing crazy. Didn't add or remove anything. So after being asked for the fifth time i just canceled the order because its ridiculous, takes 5 people on a screen to figure out whats going on? Its not that hard, I have lots of respect for servers but these guys weren't even trying and i know they know who they are and i don't blame the last guys, i blame the dude with glasses, i didn't get his name but he was there for our 11-1 reservation and then dipped after seating us and asked if we wanted a menu? like yes wdym, after that he left or something and the rest of them had to pick up for him. Oh yea they include tip so don't even bother. And the audacity to ask if we wanted anything else "real quick" after the terrible service like no im not gonna wait another hour for a drink read more

The drinks were great and so were the tots. Was disappointed in the service, the fries were old and the burger was meh. Apparently on Sunday's you can only get the buffet brunch, not the single menu items, wish that had that posted. I'm hoping since this is new they learn and get better with time. Won't be going here anytime soon read more

Atmosphere- food and service were great! My family and friends loved it! Will be back soon!

Amazing place for every occasion and every age! Lots of fun games to play! Can't wait to have birthday parties here!!

Family outing for pickleball and dinner and had a fantastic time! Very nice facility with great food. Thank you Colton for outstanding service and making our evening that much more enjoyable! read more

Great Pickleball and really good food and drinks. We are so happy to have this in our area.

My family had a great time however as first timers there were a lot of things we did not know about the facility and it was not explained to us at the "Welcome" counter. The first thing to know is that there is no buffer between customer reservations on the courts so your reservation clock starts ticking down while the other group is still exiting the court. Secondly, after your reservation has expired you are not allowed to sit at the high table tops located behind the courts to finish your beverages or food while waiting for your check (this also wasn't explained to us at check-in). The previous group before us stayed for 20 additional minutes to finish their food and beverages which we didn't have a problem with. However, we were told we had to move promptly and were directed to the lounge area. It appeared to us that the policies didn't apply to every group and each server had a different set of policies. My family still had a great time but some communication from the "Welcome" counter would have been helpful. read more
