The chicken patties used are top tier- full juicy filets, no hard edges or flattened out stringy pieces. It was cooked and seasoned to perfection as I chose "hot" and it was not too much. The pickles were great and the coleslaw on the sandwich. The fries are the biggest crinkle cut and perfectly cooked. The Elotes were also amazing with the spicy mayo. It was very good and I'll be going back! 5/5

Just had my first visit to Lava Hot Chicken and it did not disappoint…read more Such a great lunch spot--portion sizes are solid for the price, and everything came out fresh and flavorful. Jason ordered the Lava #1 (2 mild strips) and I got the Lava #2 (2 hot chicken sliders). The "hot" was more of a medium kick, while the mild still had great flavor without much heat--so definitely approachable for anyone easing into spice. I also helped myself get some mac & cheese since it was a cold and rainy day, but to be honest I probably would've gotten some mac & cheese anyways. Delicious! Also have to shout out Alex--super patient, helpful with the menu, and honestly just great service all around. He anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask, which you don't see often. Really made the experience even better. And I have to add--I'm usually not a fan of crinkle fries, but these were actually spot on. We'll definitely be back!

The parking lot was like what I remembered but inside was a different layout so I am not sure if it was the same spot. Anyway, prices were very reasonable! When the food came out, we could immediately see it passed the eye test--cheese drizzling, real meat, grilled bun. First bite was excellent--I could taste the grilled bun, the flavor of the burger and even the crisped grilled parts of the meat. All other bites, just the same. Had me audibly saying "yum". On top of that, they offered horchata to drink and it was delicious. The fries weren't only well seasoned but they also had an usual kick of heat. This will be my go-to burger spot when I'm in the Garland area. Thanks for being great and charging fairly!

Lots of drink options from the standard soft drinks, iced tea, fruit drinks and horchata! The service is fast, friendly and helpful! The burgers and fries are the stars. I had the Big House combo (Massive, 3 patties with American cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo and mustard). it includes a drink and fries. Really good fries. There are more reasonable big burgers, but my hunger was unreasonable and I needed a burger that was too big to eat, a knife and fork burger. The flavor was absolutely spot on! I'm guessing each patty was a 1/2 pounder. perfectly caramelized, moist, beefy. Price was VERY reasonable. Yes, no burger was left behind. I did go home and take a long nap afterwards :)

Their hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and I definitely should not have cut it that close. Even so, Larry--who I believe is the owner--treated me like a long-lost brother.

I was undecided whether to go in depth so others would understand or do a quickie because it doesn't deserve my time. I've chosen more in depth but, to save You time if you're trying to decide on dining here... Don't Go! Much better options down the street. That being said, , let me state a few facts, opinions, and a dash of analysis. Stop the Presses. This just in. After thinking about it something didn't seem right. Why is this so far off the mark? The thought was familiar, but I just couldn't put my finger on it. Then,as im trying to finish this a week later, it hits me. Ownership change! I think, "That's it!" After watching this type of decline in once good dining establishments over the years, I've really developed a feel for when significant changes happen and why. It's usually an ownership change, and as I've now confirmed with research, that's the case here. Now you may ask,"Guy, why worry about it?" Just move on. One reason I don't want others to spend their hard-earned money, caloric intake, and time on a disappointing experience. Really, that's what drives me. So the short of it is this. Current owners are investment bankers. Vestlink Holdings Aquired the 9 Jakes locations in 2021. Originally built by the Garvey brothers who purschased it second hand from Dickeys resturants after they pruchased it from the original Owner Jacob Lee Keller Jr. Thats a long way to say, a lot of the original "love" has been squeezed out. My assertation is, Investment bankers usually buy something to squeeze the excess cash out, resulting in inferior ingredients, less well paid employees etc etc. Just my opinion but...you get the point.

We had a party of 8, with kids, so finding a place where we were comfortable was important to us. The waiter was patient and kind to us. Now for the food. It's going to be a mixed review. Some things were good and some not so much. We started with the deviled eggs with brisket. The eggs were bland and the brisket was the only real flavor - this was a miss for me. I love deviled eggs and there's so much to making them great - and the flavor was missing here. The potato skin appetizer was really good. It was covered in cheese and they were tasty. I had the chicken tacos. Again, some things were good - like the coleslaw mixture, but the chicken itself was again bland. Overall, it was okay, but not something I would order again.
