    Ignore the caprese salad , that was home made and has nothing to do with this post lol
    Myesha M.

    I have a couple of employees who have been bragging about Henderson chicken for a couple of years now . They were always comparing Henderson to both Rudy's chicken and hall's chicken, both of which I am also huge fans of . And I finally, got my hands on some and I have been stuck on it and craving it regularly, every since . One thing I'd like to say to give an idea of their chicken is they are in the middle of Rudy's chicken and halls chicken, where as Rudy's chicken is overly seasoned, halls isn't seasoned at all, but Hendersons chicken is seasoned to perfection. My kids said they have the best chicken strips in the DFW , and we'll continue to test their opinions as we come across other places . Now, It very important that you understand that location plays a huge factor in your experience. Personally, I love the Lancaster location not including the overwhelming level of anxiety that I get for them being so freaking tiny and having so many people standing around outside and inside of the restaurant, but because the Lancaster location workers are always so friendly , welcoming , I'm good spirits and the food is always hot, fresh and always good. Now I've read so many reviews regarding the drive thru locations in Desoto , and I can say my experience the couple of times I've gone have always been similar to the majority of the people's reviews. The desoto location, the workers are RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, GHETTO, IMPATIENT AND I can list a number of other unpleasant words to describe them. I exaggerate none when I tell you, I've gone before and was approached at the intercom with "what you want "??? And as I'm telling/listing to the lady what I want she would continue to interrupt me each time with asking " is that it"? Like I really wanted to snap and address her about her unprofessional behavior and rushing me as if I wasn't doing them a favor and aiding to their business with my hard earned money, but I also know better then to be aggressive with people handling your food. I will admit that her tone was different and changed when I got to the window , she even complimented me on my hairstyle. Or ??? maybe the lady on the intercom and the lady at the window are two different people??. Either way, they are always rude for no reason. And I only still go to that Desoto Location when I really want some Henderson chicken but I don't feel like getting out of my car and confronting my anxiety. My five stars is for the recipe it's self , all locations that I've gone to the food is always good and hot . but my 5 stars, are also for the great hospitality/customer service at the location in Lancaster.

    I love this place! No joke, I'm a huge fan of chicken! It's the thighs for me each and every time! Chicken is hot, fresh, and sizzling! Let's not forget extra crunchy!!! You can never go wrong here! Not gonna lie, I ate all this by myself! There's no sharing here, get your own basket!!!!

    favorite chicken in dallas and especially this location. I usually get the wings. wife gets some tenders. the fries aren't the worlds best but it's seasoned perfectly without being too much. crispy. good. best chicken. and stuff.

    The restaurant wasn't very busy but we waited for nearly an hour for our food. I'm assuming the wait time was due to the employees taking turns going in and out standing around outside smoking. They did appear to wash or sanitize their hands but they apparently for what we ordered because it was completely wrong. However the food they served us was good but wish it would've been what we ordered. Probably wait a while before going back there again or at least go on a different day and time.

    Good ole chicken shack!

    If you're hungry and want some hot, delicious, and reasonably priced chicken this is the place for you! I grew up on Henderson's chicken as a child since my grandmother lived in South Dallas and it's still the same. This was my first visit to this location in particular and like all of the rest, the customer service was great and the food excellent. Both my husband and I got a 3 piece white(2 wings and a breast) that came with peppers, fries, bread, and pickles for around $10. The breast was really juicy and not dry and the wings were heaven as always. There is one right up the street on loop 12 that is good but this one is really good. Stop in TODAY for some good ole hot Henderson's chicken. Yum!

    We came here on a whim. A last-minute brunch decision. Nothing planned. No expectations. And what…read morefollowed was a core memory in three courses and a complimentary Bloody Mary shot accompanied by the cutest green olive. The moment we walked in, it felt like home, but not in the "kick off your shoes" way. No, this was the "you're safe here, baby" kind of home. The vibe? Cozy. Elevated. Like Restoration Hardware met someone emotionally stable. Elliott was our server and an absolute delight. Joseph was the manager, casually spreading joy like Oprah with a tray of Bloody Mary shots. Amber... now let me pause here, because this woman deserves a paragraph of her own. Amber isn't just a GM. She's the kind of soul you meet once and never forget. When I asked for her to come to our table just to pay her a compliment, we both practically teared up. She received it with open arms, no ego, no deflection, just pure, gracious presence. I was mid-sentence and suddenly I had that Creed song stuck in my head. You know the one. "With arms wide open..." That's the kind of energy she brought to the entire restaurant. Amber made every person in that room feel like they mattered. Not because it's her job, but because it's who she is. She's fresh off earning her master's in hospitality, and if that degree came with a crown, she's wearing it. The Porch doesn't just run smoothly. It runs on Amber energy. But let's talk about the moment I saw God. Cornbread Eggs Benedict: Not crab. Not salmon. Corn. Bread. And not just any cornbread. The softest, fluffiest, most cuttable cloud of golden glory I've ever had the pleasure of annihilating with a fork. A fork, not a steak knife. Do you understand how rare that is? Normally I'm out here sawing through an English muffin like I'm in a lumberjack competition. This? Melted like butter. Tasted like a hug. 12/10. Incredible. And then, as if the eggs benny enlightenment wasn't enough, Joseph reappears with a tray of free Bloody Mary shots for the entire restaurant. With olives. For everyone. The joy? Immediate. The energy? Electric. The crowd? Unified. I watched a grandmother at the next table raise her glass like the queen she is. I nearly cried. This wasn't service. This was a masterclass in human connection. Restaurants can be transactional. Robotic. This was the opposite. This was care, intention, soul. My high school principal once said: "The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little bit of extra." The Porch brought extra, bagged it, garnished it, and served it on a tray. Final thought: If you're not brunching here, I'm concerned. If you are? I'll raise my Bloody Mary shot to you. And Amber, if you ever run for mayor, you've already got my vote. I'll run your campaign and show up in a custom t-shirt.

We ordered 2 bottles of champagne and 1 Bloody Mary and it took over 16 minutes to arrive and we had to remind him 2 times. He never brought us water. He messed up our checks and added gratuity, said he wasn't, did and then came back and said he didn't when he did. It took about 15 minutes to get our checks back after we paid.

At first, I was a little hesitant because the menu is fairly small, but after my meal, I can see why. Every dish we ordered was absolutely a 10/10. I had the chicken with greens and shrimp fried rice, along with the fried green tomatoes and cornbread. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I honestly don't have a single negative thing to say about either the food or the service. This was an amazing dining experience, and I will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

I do want to start with the positives. Our waiter was fantastic. He was very attentive, explained the menu thoroughly, and provided excellent service. The food also came out incredibly fast and piping hot, which is becoming rare these days. We started with the cornbread, and it was easily a 10/10. It was worth every bit of the $12. We ordered the fried chicken, greens, shrimp fried rice, biscuits, and hot water cornbread. The fried chicken was crispy and tender, but it lacked seasoning. I'd give it a 7/10. They served it with a house hot sauce, but surprisingly it had no heat and almost no flavor. I even asked the person I was dining with if they tasted anything because it was like pouring sauce on the chicken without changing the flavor at all. The greens were just okay on their own, but once we added the vinegar they became amazing. That made me wonder why the vinegar isn't incorporated into the greens from the start. The hot water cornbread had virtually no flavor. The shrimp fried rice was cooked really well, but it had an unexpected Caribbean-style seasoning that threw me off. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I was expecting, and it made it hard to fully enjoy. The biscuits were probably the biggest disappointment. They were dry and hard. One thing I also noticed is that, for a family style restaurant where you're encouraged to order several dishes to share, the tables feel too small. Once all the food arrived, there wasn't much room left, and even packing up our leftovers was awkward because of the lack of space. One standout that deserves recognition was the iced tea. It had what tasted like a subtle hint of mint and was incredibly refreshing. Easy 10/10. From the cuts of chicken we received, it appears they break down and fry whole chickens, which is perfectly fine. However, at $56 for a fried chicken that lacked seasoning, I found the price hard to justify. Maybe the cooking method or oil contributes to the cost, but I expected much more flavor for that price. Overall, I'd rate my experience a 7.5/10. Would I come back? Yes. I'd be willing to give Roots another chance and try something different from the menu. But when I hear Southern food, I expect bold seasoning and comforting flavors, and that's the one area where this meal really fell short.

From the moment we were seated and she greeted our table, her attitude came across as rude and unwelcoming. The entire meal felt rushed. She brought out our appetizers, but then immediately took away our appetizer plates, leaving us with nowhere to put our food. Throughout the rest of the meal, she rarely checked on our table. What made the experience even more disappointing was watching her provide attentive, friendly service to the table behind us. She regularly checked on them, boxed up their leftovers, and made them feel valued as guests. When it came to our table, she simply handed us takeout boxes and bags and expected us to package our own food. We have dined at Yardbird several times before, and the staff has always boxed up our leftovers, so this treatment was unusual and disappointing. Another concern was that an 18% gratuity was automatically added to our bill. According to Yardbird's policy, that gratuity is typically added for parties of six or more. Our party consisted of only three adults and two children--a total of five people. We were never given an explanation for why the gratuity was added. The difference in how our table was treated compared to the table behind us left us feeling uncomfortable. While I can't know the reason for the difference in service, it certainly felt as though assumptions were made about us before we were ever given the chance to show otherwise. Our family always tips well for good service, and had we received the level of hospitality we've experienced during previous visits, Jayda would have received more than the automatic gratuity. This experience was especially disappointing because it was my daughter's birthday dinner. We've always enjoyed Yardbird in the past, which makes this visit stand out for all the wrong reasons. I hope management looks into this so that no other family celebrating a special occasion leaves feeling the way we did.
