    Food - Salty today. I must've got some one's extra seasoning order by mistake. Crunchy. Golden. The rice & gravy is minute rice. Service - Mediocre Ambiance - Dark, Cozy, Small. We were packed in like sardines. No sitting area have to wait outside or in the 3 small card table chairs as waiting areas.

    The Best Tasting Chicken in Houston Tx
    Kevin C.

    I want to say not only do they have the best tasting chicken in Houston Texas they have honest customer service and I say that part because I dropped my wallet on Weds buying chicken around 5:30 pm and couldn't find my wallet no where decided to go back to Chicken Plus on Thursday around 5pm asked about my wallet and they actually had it what! And the cash was all still there! If you know you know chicken plus just don't have the best chicken ever they have angels serving the chicken y'all the real MVPs Thank you Kevin Loyal customer since the doors first opened years years ago!

    Receipt says 11:36 I didn't get my food until 12:50

    Customer service was probably the worst experience I have ever faced. I waited over an hour for my food. The lady preparing the food moves with absolutely no sense of urgency.

    I'm going to try and make this a loving review. If you LOVE some good down south fried chicken...this is your go to place. It's not dine in and no drive through. So you have to go in and get your order. The lines are usually pretty long and the inside is fairly small, like a hole in the wall...but the chicken is literally being fried up every few minutes. Now...the customer service SUCKS big time. The few times I've went, the kinda heavy set dark complexion chick has always been the rudest. I went on the 24th of Dec 2024 at around ummm...4:30ish pm and I literally was in line behind 4 people. When it was my turn, I got to the counter and she walked smooth off. Didn't say hold on or nothing. Then she began prepping about 9 drinks and bagging other people's food. No acknowledgement or anything. So the other young lady, kind of light skin, she saw how I was just standing there for awhile and was like..."hey babes, what did you wanna order". I told her and she was like "I'll make your order for you but the other girl is gonna ring you up tho". It was so bad the brother behind me walked to the counter and offered her like 30 dollars just to get a 4 piece and fries so he could just bounce. I felt that. But when ol girl FINALLY came to ring me up, she was so bland, monotoned and offered no sorry for waiting or even acknowledgment. I will say the other young lady hooked me up. I ordered a 4 piece with rice n gravy and a pepper. Got to the car and I had 7 pieces of chicken with 2 rolls and like 5 peppers. So I ain't even mad. So if you're expecting great customer service and you know you're a person with a low tolerance for bad attitudes, don't come here. But if you're patient and want some good ol fresh, flavorful chicken....this is your spot!!!! Peace and love everyone who reads this review!! ‍

I am glad that we found Nando's in Houston. The food choices are great. You can opt for half or full chicken, hearty bowls, starters, and big selection of small additions. All dishes ordered arrived on time and were super flavoursome. Foods were well prepared and tested very good. You can accompany your food with beer or wine.

Really nice and bright decorated restaurant with lots of menu options. They offer a daily small Happy Hour, a decent rewards loyalty program for frequent customers and their Sauces!! Which I may add are available for purchase and I might have a few flavors at home.......shout out to the Medium Garlic! They offer parking in both the front & back and a semi shaded small side patio. A few small changes that I have noticed since their opening: they no longer offer lunch portions/specials and sadly the Rainbow Bowls no longer come with turmeric cauliflower Oddly, as many times that I have visited, I am either the only one there or at most, 1 of 3 people max. Hopefully it's just the early afternoon time of day I always seem to stop in because I would really like this place to stick around. And as much as I enjoy a good rewards program, their scanner has never worked once since initially joining so I have to manually input my receipt barcode into the app. Not a big deal but I haven't redeemed any rewards yet either so hopefully that will be a smooth process. And if I may end on a suggestion, Please lower the music by 2 levels. I have to put my noise canceling AirPods in every time because it's just a tad too loud and distracting to hold a convo. Other than that, Welcome to the 'Strose Nando's!

The orders came with a slice of bread that was placed under the chicken; overall, the chicken was prepared well & the quality was evident! I wish the bread had been provided separately, because after a while, the chicken made it soggy, so it deterred me from eating it. They had a unique "Korean" version of their chicken, marinated in spicy Gochujang sauce, and I ordered the Honey Mustard as my dip. While it was delicious, it was a bit salty, so next time I come, I wouldn't get the Korean version. They also had unique Szechuan fries that I'd love to try!

It's a bit difficult to get in and out of the parking lot onto the street. The menu is very simple and fast food esque; chicken sandwiches, tenders, and fries / sides. The sandwich was fairly good sized and comes with one side. The chicken itself was a bit bland; the cole slaw out of everything was well seasoned and had good flavor. The fries are the typical frozen shoe string fries. Service is okay; again, this spot borders on a fast food restaurant so it's quite simple service. Overall, it's okay; the chicken isn't spectacular but it's a step above Canes or Laynes in some ways but flavor wise also missing something special.

Nice cozy place, perfect setting for fried chicken. I am sure they had other stuff, but that was the mission for this visit.

Had the special which was to legs and two thighs for the price of the 3 pc dark. Beans and slaw. Ok, the chicken was great, moist, seasoned, very well cooked. I will go out of my way to go here for the chicken. Beans, canned with a little flavor added, nothing to brag about the slaw was pretty good. The fries on my friend's plate looked great. Perfect.

    Solid hot chicken spot - Flavorful with a decent kick…read more The area itself is in the heart of Montrose where you've got some fancy bars/restaurants in the area. A big open lot with some food trucks and 2 random benches. Makes for a good late night dining spot after a night out. Standard hot chicken lineup with the sandwich, strips, combo, fries. I liked the halal options. The wrap with turnips did entice me a bit but went for the Sandwich + a side order of pecked fries. The service was efficient, got it out in about 10minutes. I liked the curry seasoning to the fries, the chicken was battered well and had a solid crunch/flavor. The sandwich itself is also a straightforward classic = standard brioche bun + pickles for garnish and a decent sized breast. I would say the "yummy sauce" is just a bit overwhelming for me, it's just everywhere when I unwrapped the sandwich.. It was a bit too creamy for my taste. Overall I liked the chicken and the menu for being halal, it was cooked well and the adjustable spice level is nice. But the Yummy sauce is sort of a miss for me. Not sure what's in it but too rich, 3.5/5, didn't quite stand out for me.

Say less (and no, I wasn't high, I swear lol). I was watching the app like a hungry hawk and the order took a little while to prepare. And then my dasher had the audacity to stop and drop someone else's food off first. Man, wtf. I was too hungry for all that. I ordered the Urban Fries with Nashville hot chicken. It came loaded with fries, white cheddar-looking mac and cheese, fried chicken pieces, and some kind of sauce over everything. Very much one of those "throw the whole kitchen sink in there" type dishes. To be fair, because of the late delivery and extra stop, I'm not judging too hard on the temperature, but thankfully it still had a little heat left. The fries were actually really good. The mac and cheese felt a little carb overkill, but that seems standard with these loaded-style dishes. The only thing I didn't love was there was a sweetness in the flavor somewhere. Maybe in the sauce but that didn't work for me. It was this weird sweet note coming through the spice that kept throwing me off. Overall though, solid late-night food for 3am lol. Thanks for satisfying my middle of the night hunger pangs. I'd probably give them another try during respectable business hours and see how it hits fresh.
