1st time having cowboy chicken. Was good. Job catered for CHRISTmas. Brisket was actually seasoned. Most non black places don't season food. Don't like that. Wouldn't get mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans with BBQ but it was good too tho.

Durango Bowl

Absolutely delicious Durango bowl. Refreshing and hits the spot. Shout out to chandler for being such a cool guy! Will definitely be returning to this location.

I haven't been to a Cowboy Chicken in a couple of years. Today, I was in the area so I ordered a 3 piece dark chicken with the sweet potato and Mexican street corn as the two sides. It also comes with a roll. I ordered inside the restaurant and took it To Go. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. 5 stars for the staff! In the past, this meal has been plenty of food - enough to share. Today the dark chicken pieces were on the small size. The sweet potato was moist and delicious. The roll flavor was good, but dry. The big winner was the Mexican street corn. It was so GOOD!! Overall, the meal was really good. The amount of food for the money left something to be desired.

The chicken was pretty salty in my opinion but the portion was big so you get a decent amount of food. I think it was a bit pricey though for what it was tbh

I was confused when this one came up and we found ourselves outside of ... Cowboy Chicken?! Went…read moreinside, and the staff was nice and directed us to the Smackbird Hot Chicken ordering screen. Had a seat and waited while sipping on a drink. There were quite a few orders and various people coming in for pickup of both Cowboy Chicken and many, many Smackbird orders. Took roughly about 20 minutes but it was worth the wait because it was one of the tastiest hot chicken sandwich I've had to date! It was beautifully seasoned, nicely crisped and juicy! The flavor was there and not just overpoweringly chili powder or buffalo sauce. Savory!! -- I'm reliving it and craving another one just thinking about it. Will go back again and highly recommend this gem! Estaba confundido cuando surgió este y nos encontramos fuera de... ¡¿Cowboy Chicken?! Entré, y el personal fue amable y nos dirigió a la pantalla de Smackbird Hot Chicken. Tomé asiento y esperé mientras bebía una bebida. Hubo bastantes pedidos y varias personas vinieron a recoger tanto Cowboy Chicken como muchas, muchas ordenes de Smackbird. ¡Tomó aproximadamente unos 20 minutos, pero valió la pena la espera porque fue uno de los sándwiches de pollo caliente más sabrosos que he probado hasta la fecha! ¡Estaba bellamente sazonado, bien crujiente y jugoso! El sabor pego fuerte y no solo a polvo de chile rojo o salsa de búfalo. Sabroso!! -- Lo estoy reviviendo y se me antoja otro solo al pensarlo. Volveremos otra vez y recomiendo encarecidamente esta joya!

I put in the address from Yelp to Apple Maps and after driving an hour I don't see the name of the…read morerestaurant. Only a place called cowboy chicken. I assume Apple Maps has taken me to the wrong place so I go to Google maps and type in smackbird. It routes me to a place in Carrollton about 15 min away. The friend I was meeting with pulls up to cowboy chicken as well and decides to walk inside. She said it's like a ghost kitchen which you have to order online to get the food. Very confusing for customers like me who I turned back around. I don't think it took more than 30 min to get the food after ordering. The inside is a spaced out seating along the walls of the restaurant. Small intimate setting, casual. Good enough for my friend and I to catch up. However, despite the misunderstandings, food was yummy. I liked the fries. I got the big bird sandwich. Double the chicken patties. I got the 3rd level which is not the highest but probably the good smack. It was a good starting level for me. I could try the highest spice level next time if I'm ever going out this far again. I ordered jalapeño ketchup but either they gave me regular ketchup or there was no difference at all. Overall worth a try. I paid about $13 for the meal which isn't so bad when trying to be on a budget.

A friend surprised me with lunch, some very yummy fried catfish. As he was driving by this spot on…read morethe way to my house he remembered that their catfish was one of my favorite cheat meals. As usual, sooo good. Crispy, yet moist plump filets with well seasoned batter, extra extra tartar sauce, very good fries and that fluffy light Yeast roll for which GC is known. AND, a super jumbo cup of their sweet tea with no ice which is delicious. He had ordered the 3-pc meal but some generous staffer tossed in an extra piece; late afternoon snack to munch on. This was a fun surprise which definitely made for a good cheat food day lunching with a good friend !

Overall, I'm not impressed. The chicken strips are a soft fry and lightly crisp (barely crunchy),…read morebut moist without being greasy. The white gravy is it too thick (like paste) but has a good flavor. It may have been old and on the heater too long. The fried okra was average but not very crunchy or crispy. The rolls have a yummy flavor (like Hawaiian Rolls) and are soft and light... but were cold. The fried chicken leg was Huge! And greasy - more than I like. The cooked batter has darker color than the strips and the same very light crunch. Strange, but the leg was a noticeably saltier compared to the strips, but within an acceptable range. The raspberry lemonade was disgusting. Years ago it was awesome - very sweet and super flavor. Now it's watered down, has a very weak flavor profile, no sweetness, and has a bitterness on the aftertaste. I poured it out and got tea instead. The place was very clean but also very cold. Your food cools down fast because of that. I guess that's why we were the only ones eating inside at 6pm. (But the drive through was steady.) I've found better.

I also liked the gravy you can dip the chicken in. The spaghetti was solid, but on the sweeter side. The ube pie was just okay for me. A little too much filling. Place was busing during dinner but well organized.

I really wanted to try this place but after placing an online order for the family and then waiting…read more20 mins in the restaurant- only to be told that they are an hour behind. We wait another 25 mins and are THEN told that they cancelled our order and will refund us. Really?? Just like that? No offer to give us a beverage for all of our time and energy we just wasted? Contacted customer service to see if they could make it "right" and all we got was a "we are working on improving" really? I bet they tossed out a ton of food that day; when they could have just given it to us while we were waiting -- like hey" what did you order?" Me" 4 sandwiches, 4 drinks and 4 sides " - them" ok , here you go- Bye!" ! What a waste. The entire episode was ridiculous and we were very hungry! The young ladies behind the counter were overwhelmed and looked clueless as they called out names for walk-in orders, yet nobody showed up to picked them up. Meanwhile the rest of us were standing around looking like idiots for nearly an hour waiting for our online order. So serving people inside took precedence and online customers were relegated to some odd combo of a numeric code and guest order code on a display screen. Some had codes and partial names. Nobody in the crowd understood the code/code & name/code. It was a big guessing game. Why didn't someone take charge? I could have gone behind the counter and filled orders faster for online with whatever was left for those who didn't pick up in house orders! And don't get me started on the mounds of chicken just sitting under the lights waiting to be packaged up! The entire scene was like an I Love Lucy episode with the chocolates loading up the packaging ramp and no customers were able to eat

I promise I won't stay away so long.
