    a bowl of mashed potatoes and a bowl of gravy
    Amanda L.

    Don't get me wrong I LOVE Golden Chick usually I would put 5 stars, but the mashed potatoes that were in my order taste spoiled I thought it was just me, but it tastes really bad. This is the first time it happens, the chicken strips & gravy were really good.

    Trying out a new fried chicken spot

    Decided to give this place a shot after someone suggested it but it was sadly underwhelming. The fried chicken was on the dryer side. An employee recommended the dirty rice, which was incredibly salty. Not sure I ordered the right items but it's not likely that I'd go back.

    basically one of the managers named nareida completely does not ask what type of sauce on the side we want and i guess she just assumes we all want gravy and it's something that should be asked before putting in the order it's happen more then once so unprofessional!!!

    Best fish in town.. who would have known..

    Jr. Tender combo
    Jerry J.

    We stopped in here on a whim, and at first glance we noticed the cleanliness of the place. The menu was what you would expect at a fried chicken restaurant such as chicken express. There is an excellent selection of sides and salads. We particularly liked the junior combos, which are a smaller amount of food for a smaller price. It was just enough and made for an inexpensive meal. Our whole family had enough to eat for $15. The chicken was good; as where the sides, although the macaroni was slightly bland. The yeast rolls were fantastic, but you will have to ask for butter. There is free softserve ice cream available, but it is not the best. But either way you can settle your craving for something sweet. Overall we were pleasantly surprised and will eat here again.

    Very crisp and hot delicious battered fries.

    Try the cat fish, it's cooked to order & hot. It's good, but buy the 4 piece. They don't include hush puppies which is unfortunate.

    The amount of time you have to wait is ridiculous, more than 30 mins just for a 10pc meal.

    A sweet roll and macaroni with sweet tea finished up this fine dinner experience for me.

    DELIVERY DRIVERS AVOID THIS PLACE!!! Show up and and they…read morewill waste your time making you wait around before telling you: "We sent our own driver out to deliver this order." Supervisor claims they don't know how this happens. And they don't really care. Will never eat here again either. Don't care how good they are. Pathetic

    I have been to McAllen TX ... and have even eaten there (2 of 2)…read more I saw that many reviewers are awarding Cowboy Chicken 5 stars. I was going to go with 4 stars, but then thought about it ... they did everything right. I happened to be in this general area, while visiting the famous main branch of the McAllen Public Library, which holds the record for being the largest library on one level in either the U.S., North America, or the world. Dinnertime was approaching and a barbecue place sounded just like what I needed. Cowboy Chicken is in a strip mall close enough to the library. Parking is easy and, once inside, you go through a short line to order what you want to eat, with some people eating in and others taking out. I do like to eat this regional barbeque food on occasion, and it's something I do at least once every time I'm in the Houston metro area. I always go for the 2 item combination platter. However, in the Houston area, I don't seem to land on places that offer both brisket and boneless chicken. So, in Houston, I get brisket and turkey ... and I'm still a happy camper. At this Cowboy Chicken, I asked if I could get chicken as one of the 2 meats and if it could be (a) boneless piece(s). The young lady helping me said that I could and was very helpful. I took my tray to the simple but airy eating area and started to dig in. Everything, including the sides, was delicious. The chicken and the brisket were very much to my liking. I'm not being a big baby by always asking for boneless stuff, but who wants to mess with bones and scales when eating outside of their home or at a backyard event? I wanted to add that the portion size was satisfying and that the pricing was appropriate. This "main" Cowboy Chicken has a lot of good things going for it - the food, the service, the portions, the value, and, above all, what I perceived to be a strong focus on the customer. So there you have it. If visiting the impressive main branch of the McAllen Public Library and get hungry, you might stop by Cowboy Chicken for a meal. How does that sound for a field trip?
