Reviews With Photos - Cowboy Chicken

John G.

First, I'm grateful to Cowboy Chicken for offering a Thanksgiving plate special this past Thanksgiving when I had COVID and was unable to spend the holiday with family - I was able to salvage the day with an enjoyable meal, albeit alone. I've been back multiple times since to order their three-piece dark rotisserie chicken plate, and enjoy this place more each time I go there. I have a long history as a Boston Market customer (and even worked there in college when it was Boston Chicken), and although poor business practice has mostly phased it out of the fast casual scene, I still look to Boston Market as a comfort food standard. If you're familiar with Boston Market and are looking for that kind of homestyle meal, Cowboy Chicken's wood fire rotisserie chicken is right there. You can order a dark or white entree with sides or family meals with a whole chicken. Cowboy Chicken also offers wings, salads, and sandwiches. I go there for the rotisserie chicken, but if that isn't your thing, there's a lot to choose from. To me, a good chicken place also needs to be able to offer quality sides and Cowboy Chicken has a plethora of them: Mashed potatoes, rachero beans, green beans and a lot more. I'm still exploring Cowboy Chicken's vast menu so I haven't quite found a side I love as much as the Twice Baked Potaters, but I'm confident I'll get there. For $7 more, you can also have a side of brisket. Honestly, it didn't speak to me the first time I ordered it. I tried again on my more recent trip, and it was great. Not sure that it's $7 great, but I was hungry and in the mood for meat so I'm glad I got it and will order it again. Fast casual places usually leave a lot to be desired when it comes to customer service, but I'm always impressed by the friendliness of the Cowboy Chicken staff. When comfort food is what you need, giddy up!

I usually like Cowboy Chicken but this Irving location is lousy. The staff are zombies, and the checkout person was a robot. Not a real robot but you get the drift. Didn't ask if we wanted drinks etc. To top it off the coleslaw , something I love from there, was frozen n ruined. The roll was stale as well. Didn't help the whole place was dirty and un kept. Altogether a one star experience.

I love this place for the rotisserie chicken. Their double baked potato is delicious too. It always disappears when get take out. Their beans and rice have a lot of flavor too. This is a fast casual restaurant. The orders come out prompt and there is plenty of seating. The service was good for a fast casual restaurant. We will definitely be coming back.

After hearing a wonderful word at church the ladies decided on Cowboy Chicken . I was was surprised and impressed by the smoky smell of the chicken and seeing about 20 birds going over the rotisserie fire in the back. The staff was friendly and brought out our fresh food to the table.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and decided to try the Nashville Hot chicken tenders. Nashville was not hot; not in spice, and not in temperature. Flavor was mild, and the tenders were a little dry, like they took a wrong turn at juicy and just kept giddying. The place itself is clean and friendly, and the menu's got plenty of options if rotisserie's your thing. Service was fast, and I'll give them credit, this is a solid upgrade over your average fast casual chain. But for $13 tenders, I was expecting a little more kick and a little less cardboard. Might come back to try the rotisserie chicken everyone's hyped about, but the tenders didn't quite do it for me. Yeehaw.. I guess.

There are many chicken places out there, but how many of them serve rotisserie chicken instead of fried one? Probably not too much! And how doesn't LOVE rotisserie chicken? Anyway, had to try it while in TX and boy do I wish they'd come to Colorado! I had BBQ Chicken Sandwich with pulled meat, and a buddy of mine had a three piece dark plate. We both agreed that more places like this should exist, and people that live within 10 min driving distance a super lucky. And of course, loved the whole atmosphere there - kind of feels like a Texas BBQ place, but it's all about chicken. Highly recommend and I'll be back once I'm nearby.

Great service, good food, and plenty of seats! I was hoping to get some chard bbq flavor from the chicken in my salad, but I wasn't getting that. Nonetheless, the salad was good. The ambiance is nice and with moderate noise, depending on how busy it gets.

Typical TX fast food chain. Service was quick. It had a casual vibe, and the food is made fresh.

BBQ Chicken Sandwich
Brandon M.

A fresh rotisserie chicken place. I was in a rush so I just ordered a chicken sandwich. It was fresh chicken breast carved off the chicken, not out of the freezer. It wasn't dry by any means but could've used a bit more salt. It came with fried chicken skin fried hard which tasted a bit like pork rinds. Personally I could've done with that tidbit however I'm inclined to go back as the menu looked pretty good. They do have a picture window to see the chickens on a spit roasting over the open fire which I failed to get a picture of as I was in a rush.

Chicken is bland. Quality is not what it used to be. Tastes like rotisserie chicken with no seasoning. Very underwhelmed.

Bro, plumbing is confusing). Naturally, I had to ask AI where to get the absolute best fried chicken in Dallas, and it sent me here. Ordering online was super easy, though I wished the menu had pictures because I like to see what I'm getting. Exactly 20 minutes later, I got the text that it was ready. The parking lot is tiny. If you drive a big truck, be prepared to maneuver like a pro if it's packed. Inside was busy, but there was zero heavy grease smell lingering in the air. You could easily grab lunch here and go about your day without smelling like a literal fryer. Plus, the crowd was surprisingly chill. Nobody gave off that chaotic, sketch energy you get at a KFC or Wingstop where you feel like you have to lock your truck doors three times just to walk inside safely. It's a really calm environment, which is awesome if you hate loud crowds. Pickup took less than 5 minutes. After a 15-minute drive home, the chicken was still loud-crunchy and insanely crispy. Puts fast-food chains to absolute shame. Fair warning: my first drumstick was a massive sodium bomb that almost made me rage quit and leave a two star review. But I was so hungry, so a quick drink later, piece number two and on were absolute perfection: juicy, meaty, and flawlessly seasoned. So that first piece of chicken just was coated in not-fully-mixed-well seasoning batter or something like that. I am officially obsessed. Come September when bulking season hits, I'm literally going to live here.

That was already disappointing, but what made it worse was when I went inside afterward and saw those exact same items being served to customers at the counter.

If items are actually unavailable, that's understandable -- but don't tell people something isn't available when it clearly is. It's confusing and wastes people's time. Customer service and consistency really need improvement here. If you're going to run a drive-thru, at least make sure the information you're giving customers is accurate.

There were three other people waiting when I arrived with one other guy quite upset about the wait--I understand his frustration now.

Yummy chicken and full of honest and ambitious workers that are eager to share their love for soul…read morefood. They are still on the DL, so please continue to spread the word and support this lovely small business! EVERYTHING WAS MADE AND DONE WITH SUCH LOVE!! Mary Sue taught these workers well. Order was piping hot. They definitely cook as they go and don't let the food sit under a heat lamp. Tbh, the food was on the spicier side, so if you have a superrrr low spice tolerance like me, try to get extra ranch instead of Mary's signature sauce to balance it out. Chicken and pickle on a stick was a fun and new twist to try! I don't like pickles but my friend said it was good and would buy again. She said the pickles tasted like they make them in house (fresh!!). Not a bad price either ($4.99 I think.. might've been $6.99). Dough boys were yummy! A good glazed donut without the taste of fried oil. If I was craving sugary bread, this is the best dessert to soothe it. The regular roll that comes in the box is truly yummy as well. I got the peach sweet tea and boy it was indeed a true Texas sweet tea. SWEEET!! Delicious. The turn into the restaurant is quite a sharp turn and easy to miss, so slow down so you don't pass it.

From the outside, I expected it to be a smaller spot, but it was actually much bigger than I thought. Everything inside was clean, and even though there were a few people ahead of us in line, the process was simple--you order first, then grab your food and find a table. The cashier who helped us was super nice, which made the experience even better. We both ordered lemonade teas--one peach and one watermelon--and they were honestly a 10/10. Not too sweet, more on the tangy side, which I loved. It wasn't overly crowded--maybe around 10-12 people inside, with a couple more eating outside--so it felt comfortable. We ordered the chicken with the sweet spicy flavor, along with fries, mac and cheese, pickle sticks, and rolls. Everything came out fresh and tasted really good. There was about a 10-15 minute wait, but that's expected for fresh food and totally worth it. The presentation was great, and overall the food hit. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the dough babies, they were a little too thick for me, just a bit too much bread, although the flavor itself was still good. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to!

My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Tupelo Honey is a stand-alone restaurant conveniently located near Hwy 114 and 161. There's plenty of parking, outdoor seating, and a mixture of tables, booths, and bar seating. Speaking of the bar, it acts as a beautiful backdrop for the entire restaurant. 1 Star. Service - The service is always friendly. Our server is always smiling, and I can't help but feel welcome with southern charm. Tupelo Honey trains its staff well, and I really enjoy coming here and interacting with the staff. 1 Star. Food - I always begin with the Biscuits with a Cause. These light, flakey biscuits are served warm with a crispy exterior and soft, flakey inside. But honestly, the biscuits act as a delivery mechanism for the butter and blue berry jam. I always ask for an extra side of butter and jam because I use it all. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Honey Dusted Fried Chicken (dark). The chicken was perfectly fried, crispy, and sweet. And the dark meat was juicy. Pro Tips - use your hands. Another great dish was experienced. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I have yet to have a below average dish at Tupelo Honey. Yes, it's a chain. But it's also a darn good chain that keeps its menu fresh and is worth multiple visits. 1 Star.
