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

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

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

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!

Medium spice level

Today I shared my Pastrami sandwich with my hubby (pictures show half of the regular portion). The sandwich came with a side of green salad; which is much healthier than a bag of chips that other sandwich establishments serve. Oh & by the way, the bread is a house made focaccia! And it is fresh & delicious!!! This place is great for lunch! The portions are perfect & the staff here are very nice & helpful if you're unsure of what to order. The restaurant is clean & relaxing, so if you're looking to get away from the office for lunch, this is the perfect place. Try it out! You won't be disappointed! Cheers!

Anyways, the reason I wanted to make a review is to talk about gluten free bread option. As someone who's gluten sensitive I try to keep a gluten free diet. I was expecting the bread to be awful, just like all the other places that give stiff sad gluten free bread. To my joyful surprise the bread was so good! Not sure if it's fresh made or frozen when delivered. Regardless, I really enjoyed biting down into a relatively soft bread versus a hard brick. Service was fast and hospital. Ambiance chill.

So that's what I was in the mood for and decided to try out Sourdough and Co. It was literally 5 minutes from my house, right down the street on Eastern avenue in a shopping center where a lot of other good places to eat are, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it super easy. When you walk inside, the place is neat and clean, has a very warm, welcoming vibe. People behind the counter were very friendly and took my order for a Caesar salad and a Cobb salad. It didn't take very long at all, and apparently this place is very popular with food delivery services. I had seen several people come in and out to grab orders to go. Only took a few moments and my two salads were ready. Got them home and was very pleasantly surprised to see how much salad you get for $12. Plus you get a nice size chunk of sourdough bread so that made the deal even sweeter. Bottom line? When you're in the mood for a good salad, I would highly recommend this place. They do a good job and have plenty of different salads for you to try. So definitely go and give this one a whirl.

The bad news is the rest of the sandwich was disappointing. I ordered the turkey and salami on sourdough. For my toppings I got tomato, onion, pickle, mayo, oil and red wine vinegar. For my cheese I selected cheddar. I also got the "big" version of the sandwich, the 8 inch. I also decided to order a cup of the New England clam chowder. After all it was Friday and I can always eat some good soup with a decent sandwich. I tried the soup first. It was so not hot that it was thick like paste! It was extremely salty and had a very bad fishy taste from the clams. Almost where I wonder if they were spoiled. I threw the remainder away. As I unwrapped the sandwich, I had to look back at my order to see if I ordered the kids size or something. Not only did it appear small in length, but there was hardly any meat on the sandwich. As you can see from the pictures, the turkey is barely even an ingredient at this point. Such a sad excuse for a sandwhich. Like I said though, the sourdough bread itself is great. Everything else, not so much. Such a shame. I was really looking forward to having a nice fresh sandwich shop close by.
