Original Sandwich Platter (10) and Original Hot Chicken Sandwich
Brisa M.

We really enjoyed trying this place. The employees were very cool. The food got to use super quick and wow you get a bang for your buck. The meals are massive, we had leftovers for a whole other day. The original with no spice I will say lacks a bit of flavor but the texture is great. The fries are soooo delicious. I want to come back and try their new Mac and cheese.

The food is great, made to order fresh! The tortilla soup is wonderful. Great flavor. The loaded fries is enough for two people! Better come hungry!

Chicken tender "lift off" style. SUPER spicy

To all of my SPICY LOVERS out there... YES. I came here with an old friend to explore some of the menu items. My friend ordered the strawberry hibiscus frozen lemonade. I had the cucumber watermelon (not frozen) lemonade. I highly recommend the lemonade not frozen. You are gonna need the drink! Extra side of water would be even better. I ordered the spicy sandwich combo that came with a tender. I asked them to make the tender "lift off" style which was SCORPION PEPPER SPICY! Super good and loved the flavors. Everything from the taste of the spicy chicken sandwich to the amazing flavor of their fries. If you are not a sweet/ spicy fan.. im not sure this would particularly be " your jam" but it was ours. We LOVED it. Service was very friendly and helpful. The wall painting was so cool. Such a "hip" vibe. Highly recommended!!

Secret menu

Was in the area and saw that Houston TX Hot Chicken is around the corner. It was a no-brainer that I had to eat here again, especially after I was left impressed the first time I had their food at Katy. This time I had their secret menu, and tenders with slaw. The secret menu was 2 Belgian waffles with tender and slaw. I had the honey butter rub which was so good. The Belgian waffles were served hot and crispy. The tender was cooked perfectly, and it paired well when dipped into the mild spicy house sauce. I love the tenders and slaw too. Everything was served piping hot and fresh. Food was served to my table and the staff were so polite. Though this restaurant isn't as big as the one at Katy, there is still a good number of seatings for big and small groups.

Original hot chicken sandwich w/fries

Another hot chicken restaurant in Houston. I had lunch here a couple of weeks ago for the first time. It's in a nice strip center with parking in front. Inside it's a counter service eatery nicely decorated. I ordered the original hot chicken sandwich w/fries for $13 and added a drink from the self serve drink fountain. They have several heat levels and I went with mild. The food took about 10 minutes before ready. The sandwich and chicken tender is a little smaller than some of the competition however it was still big enough and plenty of food. It was a good tasting sandwich. Also the crinkle cut fries were hot and had Cajun dust sprinkled on them and good tasting too. I would be glad to return and order this meal again.

Greatest chicken, better people. Best service in college station and definitely best chicken. Spicy as you want it. Can't wait to come back.

Original hot chicken, nuggets, and fusion fries.
Zain R.

I really wanted to like this place a lot but I think Hot Chicken is just not something that I enjoy as everyone else does. Having said that Houston Hot Chicken has a lot of sauce options and it's a great addition to the growing halal scene in the Houston/Cypress area. I have tried their Original hot chicken, nuggets, and fusion fries. On another trip I tried their classic chicken sandwich. Between the original hot chicken sandwich and the classic I think I prefer the classic one. The classic one does not have the sauce on the sandwich but it's also lacking the coleslaw. If I go back I will probably get the sauce on the side for the original and have the sauce on the side. I remember really liking their coleslaw but the sauce is just not for me. I dipped my fries in the sauce on my most recent visit and I just did not like it. I found it to be a bit sour and the flavors did not really sit well with me. It's a good spot if you are in the area and want a quick bite to eat especially if you are looking for a halal spot. Service was nice and friendly.

Inside

Service was nice, and the ambiance was clean and with modern decor. The chicken was decent. I got the honey which lack seasoning but was good with the dipping sauce. Others ordered medium which had a decent amount of seasoning. I wonder if the no spice means no flavor??? About that waffle.... It's a big no for me. It was super sweet with chucks of sugar crystals- a huge turn off. One was so big it looked like a tooth. We also tried the red velvet puck and it lives to its name. It was gross and crumbly. Recap: Chicken decent Waffle gross Red velvet Puck- puck

Everyone is so friendly and helpful. They greet you as soon as you walk into the restaurant and thank you for stopping by when you leave. It feels great to be acknowledged right away. The food tastes amazing as well and their milkshakes are soo delicious. The place is very clean and welcoming. I would definitely recommend it. Overall great experience every time my daughter and I visit.

Chicken sandwich- get in my belly!

Super awesome the third time. Highly recommend this place again. Went with the spicy again and it was awesome

Loaded Fries
John W.

I love this place. Their chicken is so good. Perfectly spiced and juicy. It's not an artificial spice either, it's that good stuff. I got the loaded fries and they were yummy. The coleslaw adds a nice touch, and the chicken was amazing as always. The fries are the weak point, but the chicken makes up for it. They give so much food here, i took half of it home for leftovers too. The vibe of this place is pretty cool. It feels kinda bougie while still being a fast casual restaurant. The service is always good too, i never have any complaints. The food is usually out pretty quick. I'm looking forward to coming back here!

Came here for a Thursday lunch, as I was craving a chicken sando! Initially found this place from a Yelp Elite week, and the first go round was super yummy, so the choice was easy when we were looking at places to go! We arrived during lunch rush hour, so parking lot was full, but there's plenty of places to park. Came in to a clean, and bright restaurant, love all the bold colors and paintings they have on the wall. Our wait wasn't long, and were greeted quickly by smiling staff. The lady who took our order was super patient as we navigated the menu with questions on spice level and drink options! I got the plain chicken sandwich combo, which comes with housemate pickles and no cole slaw and a side of fries with the strawberry hibiscus lemonade! Let me tell you, this sandwich is big, I could only eat half, and the portion of fries is quite large too, and seasoned deliciousously! We also got the original chicken sandwich combo which comes with the pickles and coleslaw and then an order of the strips, all of which looked delicious! They've got a great variety of specialty lemonades, which all taste yummy! Will definitely be coming back here, I saw someone with the fries, and they looked stacked and loaded, so that'll be the next order!!

3 Tenders and Fries Meal spicy

I think Hot Chicken restaurants have kinda nailed down what they are all gonna look like at this point, and HTX is right in line with that style. Wood walls, fire murals, tv's, and a bar coming soon. The menu follows the mold here, there's the standard sandwich and tenders options and a choice of slaw and fries. Not sure if I'm meant to take the name as a statement of differentiation, but I'm not sure if there was anything that made this HOUSTON hot chicken as opposed to the regular Nashville Hot Chicken that's been popularized. The tenders were quite big, but the breading needed to be crunchier in my opinion. Would suggest more of a batter than a breading. Spice levels had a good range, they had maybe 6 or so I think as compared to the standard 5 many places go with. It helped find a good level for me. Interestingly they labeled their spice levels with Scoville units, never seen that before. They have a couple of different sauce flavors to choose from, but at an extra charge of a dollar, seems pretty steep. Asked for ranch, but was given their House Sauce. It was just a sugary Cane's sauce. Paired well with their fries which were awesome! Don't change a thing with those crinkle cuts. I liked that they had a selection of flavored lemonades, they come as the regular drink or iced, kinda like a slushy. They were WAY too sweet. Went with the Blueberry Lavender and liked the flavor, but the sweetness overpowered the drink. Some nice things here, but other spots are doing it better.

My husband and I ate here many years ago that it doesn't even count since we couldn't remember our…read moreexperience. We ordered in the drive-thru during that time. Thus, we were literally in shock when we entered into the venue and realized that it is a SIT-DOWN RESTAURANT! I didn't think it would be fast food style like Popeye's or KFC. However, I imagined it would be along the line of Cane's, but a little more upscale. My first reaction was, "Aww man, I'm going to have to pay more for something that is already sort of pricey." I'm thinking in terms of tipping. HOWEVER, I actually had a really great time here. The menu is simple, yet unique simultaneously with monthly special burgers and Korean inspired flavors. I LOVE the fact that you can substitute the crispy chicken for GRILLED. I'm all about eating out, enjoying food, but also trying to select better options. Healthy eating doesn't mean boring! This place seems like an American/Korean fusion restaurant, or an Americanized version of Bon Chon. The vibe is really cozy, intimate, and chill. It's a great spot to casually hang out with friends or family. The wait for the chicken was long, BUT it was worth the wait. The food was hot and fresh. The Korean BBQ OG Grilled Chicken Sandwich - It was huge! Even though I am a petite 95 lb lady, I devoured that sandwich. The flavor wasn't an authentic Korean flavor, but it wasn't bad! It was more sour and salty for my taste. I think it would balance out more if there were no pickles, and a mixture of the kimchi carrot slaw + regular mayo based coleslaw. Szechuan Fries - The Szechuan mustard sauce is powerful and incredibly overwhelming. I do NOT recommend that sauce at all. I think if you order these fries, just OMIT that mustard sauce. I felt like all my sinuses cleared up and my eye balls were about to pop out. Dirty Fries - You can't go wrong with cheese fries. I am not a sour person, so I didn't enjoy the pickles on the fries. Our server, Brenna, was INCREDIBLE! She is the main reason why this review is getting a 5 star. She didn't know that it was basically our first time and she still gave us exceptional service. She was friendly, patient, and sweet. We ordered the Szechuan Fries because it was a free offer upon signing up for their rewards program. I told her I didn't like the mustard sauce and she offered to get us the Dirty Fries! I was like, "What?!" The fries were already free, so I didn't expect her to even offer a substitution. ALSO, for the Kid's Meal, she let us know that the side could be substituted for something else at no extra charge. If she didn't make that known to us, we would have had no idea. I'm glad she mentioned it because the boys LOVE mac & cheese, so that was perfect. Also, we were already getting fries, so it helped us to get more variety. All in all, the place is a little expensive, but I had a great time. The service was superb, the food was great, and I noticed that they are involved in the community. I love supporting businesses that give back. Thus, I would recommend trying this place out, even if it's just once!

I ended up arriving about 10 minutes before close on a Friday, which may have been a mistake. Tables up and team looking forward to closing I very much received polite but hesitant "why are you here" vibes. I tried my best not to be intrusive, I ordered a banh mi to go, hoping to end their day with a sale, and a patron even arrived after me, 4 minutes to close, and although everyone was polite, but I'd be lying if I said I felt welcome. I have a rule. I usually won't order a banh mi that costs more than $6.50, but I'm changing my mind after trying their bbq beef banh mi. This sandwich is buttery, spicy, fresh, and savory with a little crunch from the veggies. I'll have to give the crab Rangoon another try on another day.

I have had it several places and it is not that pungent. I will be back for the wings and the boba! I recommend!!

Staff was extremely pleasant and helped me locate some flavors since I couldn't read . I just went in and got the to-go salads, but the restaurant was clean and not overcrowded with tables and such. Will be back over and over again.

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at Chicken Salad Chick…read more I placed two separate orders for the same pickup time--one catering order and one regular order--for a party I was hosting. I sent a friend to pick them up and specifically told her there would be two separate orders. She arrived right when the restaurant opened, was greeted at the door by an employee. She told the employee that she was there to pick up an order and the employee told her my name (so they were expecting the order to be picked up) my friend told the employee there were two orders. The employee handed her what she said were both orders, so my friend had no reason to believe anything was missing. After she returned to my house, we began preparing for a lunch party with about 20 guests. When it was time to serve, we realized one of the orders was missing. I called the restaurant and was told, "Yes, your order is still here." I asked if they could deliver it since the mistake happened during pickup, but they refused. When I asked how they planned to make the situation right and requested some type of compensation for the inconvenience, the manager became rude, raised her voice, and yelled at me. Keep in mind, this was a $136.00 order. What was especially frustrating was that the manager repeatedly insisted the problem was my friend's fault because she didn't specify that one of the orders was a "catering order". My question is: How is a customer supposed to know they need to say that? Nowhere during the ordering process was I told that catering orders are handled separately or that I needed to instruct my pickup person to ask for a catering order specifically. We did exactly what any reasonable customer would do--we gave my name, stated there were two orders, and trusted the employee when she handed over what she said were both orders. I called back hoping for a calmer conversation, but the manager was just as rude the second time. In the end, my son had to make a 40-minute round trip to pick up the missing order while I stayed behind trying to host my guests. Mistakes happen, and I understand that. What I cannot understand is the complete lack of accountability and customer service. A sincere apology, an offer to help, or even acknowledging that the employee should have verified both orders were picked up would have gone a long way. Instead, I was blamed for something I had no way of knowing and treated disrespectfully. The missing order was frustrating, but the manager's attitude and unwillingness to take responsibility are the reasons I won't be returning to this location.

You can choose to sit either inside or outside. We went with the Houston Restaurant week menu which features some of their most popular dishes. For the appetizer, we tried the sautéed calamari and gumbo. The calamari had a nice creamy garlic sauce which paired well the sautéed bell pepper, onions, and tender calamari. Their gumbo is solid, not too spicy and had nicely cooked rice and a mix of toppings. The rice had a good bite and absorbed the flavor from the gumbo well. I would recommend the sautéed calamari. For entrees, we ordered the wild caught king clip and steak Diane. The very buttery king clip comes with sautéed spinach and is basted in a creamy, slightly lemony sauce which compliments both elements of the dish. The kingclip is garnished with micro greens and comes with an extra lemon for additional acidity, but I felt that it wasn't needed. The steak Diane had a medium cook and was soooo tender to the bite. I would recommend both, but partial towards the king clip if you want to try something unique! Lastly for dessert, I ordered the passion fruit crème brûlée which had such a unique flavor profile! The tartness of the passion fruit goes surprisingly well with the warm vanilla custard. The texture of the creme brûlée toasted sugar top was perfect as well and added a really nice crunch to every bite. My friend ordered their sticky toffee pudding, which was arguably the best one I've had yet. The toffee syrup is incredibly rich and adds a nice caramelized flavor to the ice cream and moist cake base. It's garnished with bits of sugary crumble and fruit. You really can't go wrong with either, but if I had to pick, their sticky toffee pudding is a must try. All in all, such a fun and intimate dining experience!
