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

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

I ordered from Cowboy Chicken for the first time today. Chicken was well seasoned & moist. The green beans were seasoned with salt and pepper, which is fine, and I'm glad they weren't canned beans. The rolls were soft but a bit doughy on the inside, maybe a tad bit underdone. The Spanish rice was okay, not authentic Spanish rice, but I'm sure you figured that, still decent. The best part of the meal was the chocolate chips cookie. OMG! Ooie gooie melted chocolate chips, chewy cookie, I loved it! This meal gave me Boston Market vibes. I would order again when craving some grilled/baked chicken, and I would order those chocolate chip cookies EVERY time!

Salads were just ok. Not sure I would recommend or order again. Chicken was a little bland.

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.

A true taste of Louisiana right here in Wylie!…read more Finding authentic Cajun food outside of Louisiana is no easy task, especially since my husband's dad passed away--we've missed that true home-cooked flavor so much. The South absolutely hits the spot and brings back all those cherished memories. This is a fantastic, well-run mom-and-pop gem with a warm, welcoming vibe. The wait staff might be young, but they are top-notch: attentive, polite, and efficient. You can instantly tell the owner treats their team with respect because every single employee seems genuinely happy to be there and eager to help. Our absolute favorites: The Dirty South with Blackened Catfish - Flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. Gumbo & Boudin Balls - Rich, authentic, and packed with deep Louisiana flavor. Pro-tip: Don't miss their happy hour between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM! Also, a quick note to address a few confused reviews: this is not a formal "seafood" establishment. It is an authentic Cajun joint that happens to serve incredible seafood--and yes, there is a huge difference! If you want real-deal Cajun comfort food served by people who truly care, please do yourself a favor and check this place out. We will definitely be regulars!

Fabulous and well-executed concept from the same company as Ferah Tex-Med at the Firewheel Mall…read more The interior decorator did a great job. It feels kinda bbq themed but upscale. I liked it alot! First off, I love waiters who know the menu. She gave lots of details to our questions. The bartender also amazing. They accommodated my daughter's request for a non-alcoholic, frozen pina colada, which she loved. The hibiscus herb margarita is something I want again and again. Food items we had and recommend: - the Mexican chopped salad with shrimp and guacamole - the loaded nachos with brisket - the brisket tacos I saw other reviewers complain about the brisket, but I wholeheartedly disagree- I thought the meat was tender and flavorful. We were too full for dessert, but we look forward to trying that out when we come next time!

We had a reservation for Saturday at 6:30 pm to celebrate Mother's Day, and the experience was…read moredisappointing from the moment we walked in. No one actually seated us -- we were just pointed toward a table. No menus were given. Cornbread was dropped off, still no menus. I eventually had to get up and grab them myself from the host stand. They apologized, but even then, they simply handed them to me instead of bringing them over. It wasn't busy, and I'm extremely patient -- I was a server for years -- but this was frustrating. It took about 10-15 minutes before anyone came by. Our server was friendly, but he didn't write anything down for our party of seven, and we ended up repeating our drink order. That should have been the first sign of how the rest of the night would go. We ordered the platter ($23), and the portion was surprisingly small: two BBQ meatballs, two mac and cheese bites, queso, and a tiny basket of chips. The food runner who dropped off the meals was rude, and the portion sizes overall were shockingly small for the price. The only dishes that felt worth ordering were the penne pasta and the pork chops. The short rib tasted great, but for $30, the portion was extremely underwhelming. When we ordered another round of drinks, mine was forgotten -- again, likely because nothing was written down. I had to let our server know it never arrived. He apologized and came back to say the bartender was busy and working on it. The bartender eventually brought it out personally. What really added to the disappointment was that the server noticed we had gifts and asked what we were celebrating -- but this was after we were already paying and packing up. I had noted on the reservation that we were celebrating Mother's Day, but even without that, it's something you typically acknowledge at the beginning of the meal, not at the very end. And based on other reviews I've read, this seems to be a pattern: instead of genuinely trying to fix issues, they either apologize in a way that feels empty or blame the customer for their experience. So I'm sure they'll have something to say about this review too. Can't wait for the response. Do better. Also, be aware -- because they do NOT mention this -- that parties of six or more are automatically charged a 20% gratuity. With the level of service we received, it felt unfair. If you're going to charge high prices, the service needs to reflect that. It didn't. We won't be returning. And honestly, the 1‑star reviews are accurate. Just prepare yourself. $400 dinner for lack luster experience ‍
