    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Really good chicken, some of the staff is very friendly. Pricing is reasonable for what you get.

    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.

    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!

This location specifically does a decent job handling orders (both dine-in and online). The cauliflower takes a bit longer, so expect to wait if you order it. The ambiance is nice - this location feels a lot more open and spacious than other ones. The tables are always clean and well-maintained. My go-to order is a cauliflower slider (Hot) with the cauliflower bites (Medium). I crave this constantly and can only hope it stays on the menu permanently this time! -1 star because one employee made a rude comment to me when I was trying to see if my online order was on the shelf (not touching anything, just looking at the receipts) and I was met with "Don't even think about it!" in a really condescending tone. We were in a rush and it was well past the completion ETA, I was just trying to see if our order was even ready. Obviously I wouldn't be touching anyone's bag. They would benefit more from a system like sweetgreen or CAVA where you can just grab your bag and go. It seems counterintuitive to have to wait in a line of people ordering just to get your online order.

    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.

They are mostly breading and cooked so poorly, not worth it at all. The sides are bad too! Like they've been sitting around all day, and the fries and okra are soggy or overcooked.
