Outside of the restaurant Sep 2024
Samantha G.

Cowboy chicken is all over DFW, and we finally decided to try it out for dinner. My husband and I have an unspoken agreement that if we take too long to decide on dinner, we pick a random restaurant in the area we haven't tried lol. Casual counter order establishment. Theres only 1 associate manning the counter, but they had 2 large tablets available for you to order and serve yourself. They bring the food out to your table once it's ready. It's finally getting cooler in Texas, so we sat outside. Additionally, inside of the restaurant smelled like bathroom cleaner and was not appetizing at all! I ordered the half chicken (dark meat) meal. It comes with a roll (bread), and 2 sides. My sides were Mexican street corn and mashed potatoes with gravy. I am not sure if my starvation biased my taste buds, but the food was delicious! I was shocked at how low the restaurant was rated, but was pleasantly surprised. The Mexican street corn is not as great as your mom and pop Mexican restaurant, but it wasn't bad! I loved the mashed potatoes and gravy! Such a comfort food. The half chicken was delicious. The chicken was juicy, and seasoned well (It was a tad too salty for me).

Whole Rotisserie Chickens, and many types of chicken dishes, brisket, many sides, desserts.

Casual, large, clean facility, with counter service. Easy to spot along FM 544 in Wylie, TX, with parking on 3 sides. Outdoor seating, with possibility of shade, and curbside delivery parking spots. Many types of chicken dishes made here, with a variety of sides. Salads, enchiladas, sandwiches, tenders, wings, etc. Brisket is served also, and a number of veggies as sides (including french fries) No alcohol, but Iced Teas, and Lemonades. Catering, and Family Meals, and Delivery for orders over $15. For $42 (plus 5 tip) we had Four Tenders & 2 sides (drink is extra). Also, Pulled Brisket Sandwich & 1 side (drink extra). I also sampled the Chicken Enchiladas (2) which came with 2 sides. Dinner Pro: Chicken Tenders (Honey Blaze) Sides Pro: Mexican Street Corn, Pro: French Fries, Pro: 1/2 baked Sweet Potato Dinner Meh: Pulled Brisket Sando, Chicken Enchiladas Sides Meh: Ranchero Beans (too watery, cold) Might as well chop the brisket. Some of the bark that made it into this "pulled" brisket was tough as nails, long as nails. The chicken breast meat in the 2 enchiladas was dry, not seasoned. The Tomatillo Cream Sauce was savory, good flavor. Ranchero Beans had a good flavor, but served in a low cardboard "dish" and watery, they went cold quickly. Beans are so cheap, why skimp? Staff was pleasant, the self-serve area was clean & stocked properly, and a variety of seating allowed for comfort. A flow of delivery drivers (no uniforms) were picking up food orders. I will return to try a salad, and some of the Rotisserie chicken. And more of the baked Sweet potato!

Metallic debris in the beans
Aaron G.

Food? It's chicken! Service? Well, they bring it out to you, though you have to bus your own table. Ambience? Needs sound deadening. However, I had a major problem with food safety tonight. Two pieces of metal in the beans. I could tell these were metallic since they stuck to the magnet in my iPhone. I brought that to the attention of the "manager" and he said, "oh". No, this is a major issue and you should consider tossing your entire serving pan of beans! Nope, he was too busy.

Ooie, gooie, goodness

They now require you to type in your own order. I will not be back until they go back to hiring staff to handle that.

The fish was so good! I could eat 100 pieces if I had to. I like the Service. The ladies up in the…read morefront were very nice and the restaurant was nice and clean as well.

First off, the name they claim for this location, isn't the name on the sign. The *actual*…read moreLouisiana "Famous" Fried Chicken is in Dallas. This is just Louisiana Fried Chicken, you can see there is another entry in here with that name and the reviews are not nearly as kind. Service was perfectly fine, the place is small but seemed clean enough. There endeth the passable things. I ordered spicy fried chicken 3pc (LWT), red beans and rice and a pint of gumbo (holy trinity, chicken, sausage, crab and shrimp - more on that to come and it isn't good). Those are a trinity for me, if you will, when sampling and then judging Louisiana fried chicken places. So, Enter Sandman... I got food poisoning, which is an automatic 1. I don't like to give them out, but for extreme circumstances; this being one of those circumstances. The food: The fried chicken was not golden brown it was dark brown, which says old oil/grease. It was bitter, but edible. I ordered spicy, and if they consider whatever I got as spicy, they need to dial it up. I detected no spice. The lady at the counter asked if I wanted hot sauce, I said yes, but it didn't meander its way into my order. The red beans and rice... I don't know what kind of black roux they use and how hard they cook the rice for it to be this mushy. It smelled like it should be good, but I had to add my own Cajun seasoning and some Tobasco to liven it up, even still it was more of, "I paid for it so I'm going to eat it" at this point. Popeye's RB&R is WAY better, and that Popeye's on the corner isn't even a good Popeye's. Now what I believe to be the criminal, the file seafood, chicken, sausage (note I didn't say Andouille, because this was straight up garbage Eckrich). It was a pint, and it was almost black (me assuming because they made a file gumbo, now I'm not so sure). It was packed with a thick mush of *mostly*, onion, celery and green pepper. Scattered among them were stringy pieces of boiled chicken, 2 or 3 pieces of sausage, I did not identify if there was indeed any crab in there because I never saw it and two soggy ass fried shrimp on top. I should've just tossed the whole thing in hindsight. I did pitch the shrimp. I didn't trust how they looked. I dumped the pint (it had that odd colored overcooked rice too), i added quite a bit of water, brought it to a boil, reduced to simmer. I had to add seasoning to this as well as some tobasco. I ate about 1/3 of it or so, then just pitched the rest. *a few hours later (said in that French accent you're now reading it in)* I'm pounding Nauzene, and pounding the toilet. Let's say, oh... about 8 -9 hours? The easiest way to explain how long. As the very unpleasantries began, I put on John Wick, I watched all 4 before finally being *done* and able to go to bed about 0500. Suffice to say, I will not be back. I give this two thumbs down and a raspberry.

The staff is always friendly and pleasant, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy working here. There are plenty of seating options: a cozy bar area, three separate dining rooms, a large patio with its own bar, and even picnic tables out back. I think the upstairs may be reserved for private events. Every time I visit, I end up ordering the same thing because it's just that good--the Naked Chicken three-piece. Absolutely delicious! I'm also glad they now offer two sides with your entrée for a small extra charge. The mac & cheese and green beans are both amazing. I've tried a cocktail or two, but usually skip them since the portions are small for the price. Overall, this is such a fun, charming spot with consistently great food. Definitely one of my go-to favorites! Add it to the Love List

Who would have thought the historic Oliver house in Rowlett would be transformed into a…read moreMexican-Inspired Fried Chicken spot? Not me! Brick and Bones Backyard is a blue house on the corner of Main St. in Rowlett, Tx, that has been transformed into something magical. This Mexican-Inspired "chicken shop" is offering fried & rotisserie chicken, classic cocktails, and live music in a rustic setting. The menu is diverse and offering all things chicken that is brined 24 hours, fried and can be order breaded or naked( for the gluten-free in you). They also have rotisserie chicken, tenders, sandwiches, salads, bowls and wings, along with unique sides. Poblano mashed potatoes, habanero mac n cheese, mexican corn, etc... often garnished with fresh radish and cilantro around out the menu, with top notch service to boot. Mi marido ordered the breaded fried chicken, mexican corn and poblano mashed potatoes and gravy. The chicken was well seasoned with a great crunch. The potatoes had good flavor, but were barely warm. I can imagine their greatness heated. The mexican corn on the other hand was the real elote deal! The fresh snap of sweet corn, dosed with cotija cheese and spices lives up to the hype! Sweet, spicy, savory, it hit all the flavor profiles. I had the naked chicken with an order crinkle fries(faves) which was greatly appreciated for it's gluten-freeness and flavor. However, it was abit overcooked. Which left it thready and a little dry. The sauce that accompanied it, was needed, but shouldn't have been, while the fries were fresh, but undercooked. The concept and flavors make Brick & Bone standout on the chicken front. Better execution can make it a cut above the rest. Check It Out!
