Although I didn't have one, I'm going to have one of the slushies next time.
Dan L.

Wow. I was not prepared for this place. I love a good chicken sandwich, and as I've been getting older the more I'm craving spicy foods. Most places I go when you order something spicy it actually means not spicy. Let me tell you, this place. It's different. I really love the interior of this place, it's got a lot of neon and wood giving it a very cool modern/ rustic feel. It's neat and clean and very warm and inviting. People behind the counter were great. Very friendly. For suggestions. I like the fact that they have the spice meter on the wall, but let's talk about that for a second. I heard a chicken sandwich, and chose the spicy level, a chicken strip at the ready for takeoff heat level, and some fries. Fries. The weight was not long at all and so I got my word to go and came back home. What's really cool is they come in a decorative little box which is kind of fun and is a nice touch for the meal. Now let's talk about the food. The fries were super good, they had a very light seasoning on them, which is good because the seasoning really lies in the chicken. Chicken sandwich first, as I knew that the chicken tender was going to be spicy and I did not want to destroy my taste buds before having the chicken sandwich. Let me tell you something, this place ain't playin'. From the first bite, my mouth was definitely at an almost unpleasant heat level. I take the full responsibility for that, as I did not know when they said spicy they meant spicy. I powered through it though, and found it to be one of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever had. It was crispy, and the spice was addicting for sure. Pickle or two. A bun was super fresh and it was absolutely delicious. The french fries were on point super crispy and lively seasoned so there was definitely no problem there. To be honest, considering the level of spice in the spicy chicken, I was a little nervous about trying the ready for takeoff spice level. Let me just say this, the spice level was definitely hotter but not that bad. I almost think having the chicken sandwich first prepared me for the chicken strip. I definitely used a lot of the sauce on the chicken strip and I think that helped navigate the heat level. Was I sweating at the end of my meal? Yes, yes I absolutely was. But it was worth every bite. Bottom line? I will definitely be going back to this place, although I may have to readjust my reasoning when choosing spice levels. You should definitely check this place out if you're a fan of hot chicken.

Original Hot Chicken Sandwich
Juvanny J.

The hot chicken sandwich was delicious. Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender & juicy on the inside. The sauce really stood out too and pairs well with the flavor of the chicken. The fries were crispy and fresh. Exactly how they should be. The mac and cheese was also great. And the customer service was top-notch. Amber was friendly and attentive. And the service was fast. Overall great experience. The ambiance was relaxed alaid back.

Sandwich & Tender
Kat O.

I tried the chicken nuggets and fries. The nuggets were really good and moist. I love the dipping sauce it came with. I don't like things too spicy so I was happy with the mild option. The fries tasted dry and were disappointing. Husband got the sandwich and tender meal. He was a fan of the "lift off". He loves hot things and found it satisfying. He's looking forward to trying the hottest option. We ordered to go and the wait was minimal. Service was great. Overall we were happy and will most likely come back.

It's been awhile stopped by for a quick bite ordered an Original with medium heat. Always a great quick bite and always consistent in quality and taste.

Houston TX Hot Chicken serving chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, chicken nuggets, salads, fries choices of different toppings with chicken, Belgian waffle, milkshakes, cookies and drinks. Chicken can be made with no sauce or a choice of flavored sauce. House dipping sauce is included and you can also get additional dipping sauces there are lots to choose from for $1.00. Clean inside, good lighting, good music and friendly staff. I like that the staff are keeps the dining area clean. On the menu: 2 Tenders no pickles and Waffle with French Fries meal. I like that I could choose a different flavor of sauce for each of the chicken tenders, I chose mild and lemon pepper. Good portions. I like the crinkle cut fries that are lightly seasoned. The waffle is yummy it is crispy on the edges. I ordered addition dipping sauces - cheese sauce and ranch. Their house sauce has a little sweet chili flavor. It was my first time here and I like it actually pretty good. I am adding this to my chicken spot rotation.

Original Hot Chicken Sandwich
Amanda S.

I have eaten at this place several times over the years and it used to be really good, until today. I ordered on Uber Eats because I was off late.. when I opened the box, there was only a handful of fries, there was a tiny sprinkle of coleslaw, barely any sauce, and the chicken was tough and dry I couldn't even finish eating it. Terrible experience. Sad this place is going downhill. Used to be a favorite, not so much anymore!

Oh diego oh diego, you dawg. This guy was so chill, me and da boys were tired AFFFF. But he treated us w/ a smile on his face. Really resembled what houston's hot chicken means to the world. Best service of the month award. Houston's, youre lucky to have this dude. closest thing i could get to a texas flag

I came here on a Friday late night since I was craving chicken tenders. It was a great choice. Starting from the service, angel took our order and he was super pleasant. We got mild, medium, and honey rub. They were all delicious. I usually can't take spice that well but the medium wasn't that spicy to me. I got the house sauce which is prob the best. It's gives sweet thousand island vibes? But it goes well with all the chicken. The chicken was also not dry like some places and the outside was crispy. I believe it was Pedro who made our chicken! Delish. There was also another cashier that was friendly to us, a young white dude. Wish I got his name too. Everything from the start to end was great and I'll be returning whenever I'm craving some tenders!!

Chicken Tortilla Soup
Julian C.

Went by the other day for their chicken tortilla soup which was phenomenal by the way! Highly recommend! The service was great, shout out to Vincent for always being so welcoming and kind.

Risto K.

Excellent fried chicken - based restaurant. Having lived in Houston myself, I was reluctant to try chicken as I felt there is no such a thing as Houston style chicken. However - it turns out it is Nashville style chicken!!! Very clean and hot environment, good music and good vibes. Original Chicken is pretty good with nice sauces. I tried nuggets as well as sandwich. Loaded fries were awesome!

You even get a roasted jalapeño on the side, which I loved! I upgraded to the chili cheese fries, and they were AMAZING. I honestly haven't had really good chili cheese fries or a good smash burger in a long time, and this place checked all the boxes. We also ordered the Cali Dog with a side of fries, and it definitely reminded me of home-the kind of good, solid hot dog you crave after getting out of the bars or clubs. The buns are soft, the veggies are fresh, and everything was flavorful, well-seasoned, and tasted fresh. I'll definitely be ordering again and highly recommend this spot to anyone in the Henderson area!

The inside has a moody, stylish aesthetic that makes it feel like a nice spot for dinner or drinks. On one visit, though, I was told they were really short on wine, which I thought was a little surprising considering this is such a wine-forward restaurant. The service has always been decent, and I've never had a terrible experience, but overall, the food just hasn't impressed me enough to understand the hype. It's not a bad place by any means, but for me, it's just nothing to write home about.

Menu looked good. Liked the open kitchen. The food came out, we all ordered Filet, 5 of us. Not sure if it was a coincidence but the older adults, myself included got a filet and it looked good. The two younger adults at the table go what I can only say looked like a tri-tip steak, not a full tri-tip or sliced tri-tip but those you see in a store that are cut from a larger tri-tip. It also tasted like a tri-tip, nothing like the other 3 people at the table. It's like they ran out of filters and served something close. Overall it's been VERY hard to find good food in Henderson, there are a lot of chain restaurants here....wish there were more to choose from.
