    Tender (a la carte)
    Connie H.

    Counter service - looks like a full bar set up. Got the tenders and waffles- tenders were good with medium spice level and tried one with spicy- really nice that you can tailor spice levels for individual tenders. For me the waffles were too sweet with a dusting of sugar on top of an already sweet waffle so that was a meh for me. The fries were good, very crispy and lasted throughout the meal. Got a strawberry milkshake was good-thick and sweet to cut through any heat.

    Houston hot chick is a great place to go to located in la centerra especially if you're craving a chicken sandwich. The mild was alright but one thing that was a little lacking of flavor was the sauce. Other than that, the chicken was really good, well seasoned and breaded well. The bun was crispy and it didn't feel greasy after eating it. The service was very kind, and they often checked to see how we are doing. Inside, it's a great place for casual visits and quite spacious.

    Best fast food hot chicken ever! The service was helpful and quick while providing high quality good sizes chicken tenders. Not only does it have heat but the ambiance was also just as stylish brining in amazing vibes with the great services!

    Great food and a little better take on the mild to hot range for their chicken menu. Did the habanero heat level, had a good kick. I'm ready to go up a level. They go all the way to Carolina Reaper hot, don't think I'll ever get to that level plus you have to sign a waiver for that one AND their is one part of your body that does not build up a resistance to the heat so you will be saying "OWWY OWWY AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" about 2 hours later. Staff was great and location in LA Centerra Katy TX is perfect overlooking the green. Nice bare and AC to at least keep you cool while you get that great tasting chicken with a nice mouth burn for those who love very spicy.

    Sandwich & Tenders - One of the best hot chicken sandwiches I've had in Houston! Perfectly crispy with amazing flavor, but I personally preferred the tenders. They were even juicier. The sauce was light but flavorful. 9.5/10 Fries - A must-try! Super crispy, fresh, and seasoned perfectly. 10/10 Service - Friendly and helpful staff. 10/10

    Location is easy to find with plentiful parking in the shopping center. The service was great. You order cafeteria style and they'll call you up when it is ready. They also have a bar area which is nice. The food tasted great. I got a chicken sandwich meal and tenders. Spice level for hot was perfect for me.

    Again, another great meal for the wife and I. Sat outside as it is a beautiful day. After seeing the size of the chicken tender, we split the 3-pc tenders and fries. We each ate one tender (about a half or a chicken breast? And took the other one home. Perfect meal for us.

    Got the salad with hot chicken and WOW... I wasn't expecting a salad to hit like that. The chicken was crispy, spicy, and full of flavor, and the salad was actually fresh and satisfying. A whole meal, not just a "salad.

    Classic chicken sandwich with iconic house sauce!!!

    If you love bold flavors and heat, Houston Hot Chicken is the spot. Their Nashville-style hot chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and comes in heat levels from mild to Houston we have a problem. The spice isn't just heat--it's full of smoky, garlicky, tangy flavor that builds with every bite. The sides are just as satisfying--creamy mac and cheese and savory collard greens pair perfectly with the fiery chicken. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it perfect for a quick, flavorful meal with friends. Bottom line: Houston Hot Chicken delivers on spice, flavor, and crunch. A must-try for anyone who can handle the heat!

    4.5 2nd time here! Loved it so much the 1st time I came back 2 days later. Service was fantastic once again. Decided to try out something different this time. I got the waffle milkshake (5 stars), fries, and honey butter tenders. Tenders were juicy BUT the honey butter lacks flavor unfortunately. It barely came through. My sister got lemon pepper and I wish I would've ordered that flavor instead. That being said, I'll be back anyways and will either order lemon pepper or mild. Place was clean as usual, music at a good volume, and service was quick and it was nice that the staff checks on us every now and then.

    Me and my hubby love this place. We share a meal each time and it is always the right amount of food. The chicken is awesome! We have been 3 or 4 times already and plan to return several more times. Bar service is lacking so that the reason for the 4 stars and not 5.

    **Three Tenders & Fries
    Steph W.

    Stumbled upon here as we were deciding where to eat. Great chicken store with extremely spicy levels. I got 3 chicken tenders and you can customize spicy levels, decided to try lift off for one of them. Booooooyyyy was it spicy but amazing. If you can tolerate good spicy food, you have to try them. Maybe will try the Houston level next time. Fries were ok, came with a sauce. They also served drinks aka full bar. Clean and tidy. It is $$$ for chicken, but better than many other chicken stores. Will be back!

    The temperature isn't the only HOT thing in Houston!! Stopped in to pick up some tortilla soup to go! Spice level "Houston, we got a problem" makes you sweat, but I love it! The spicier, the better! It's the best $5 you'll ever spend. The location is bright, clean, with modern decor, and spacious. The staff is super friendly, helpful, and patient.

    This is the best non-food truck chicken sandwich in Houston. Mac & cheese is good. The shakes are even better. Can't go around here.

I especially love their Signature Garlic Herb bread. It's toasted perfectly where the outside has a slight crisp around the edges and the inside is soft and fluffy. It's really GOOD bread. I definitely prefer it over the likes of something like Subway, Jersey Mike's, etc. It's nice that they offer different sizes of sandwiches. There's the Nug (4"), Pinner (8"), and the largest size is the Blunt (12"). I ordered the Nug. It's just the right size to satisfy my appetite without leaving me feeling heavy afterward. I also love and truly appreciate the diverse vegetarian options on the menu. They're not just the basic boring raw veggies combinations either. It's super casual and laid back inside. Love their fun decorations. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There's a bar in the back with a large TV, allowing you to enjoy sports while sipping on a cold beer or cocktail. Glad they are in the area. For sure I will be a regular here. Just thinking about their bread makes me hungry.

I was still able to finish it. I'll still come back and maybe try something different next time.

I would definitely come back for the food and the service. However, I do have one concern that I really hope the restaurant will consider. I wish they had separate restrooms for men and women instead of having unisex restrooms. The first time I went to the restroom, there was a guy literally getting out of the restroom. When I went inside, the toilet had urine all over it. I didn't want to clean someone else's mess, so I went to the second restroom. Literally, there was another guy getting out of that restroom too, and when I went inside, he hadn't even flushed the toilet. So I had to go back to the first restroom, clean the toilet myself so I could use it, and then go back to my food. Honestly, it was very unpleasant and disturbing, and I felt nauseous afterward. I understand that restroom cleanliness depends on the people using them, but I really wish they would consider having one restroom for women and one for men. It would make the experience much more comfortable and hygienic for everyone. The food and customer service are wonderful, and I truly hope they address this issue because I would love to continue coming back.

You can come here for dinner or lunch. Today we got the classic burger and a build your own sandwich. The serving sizes were hefty and we definitely left with a happy tummy. The food was fresh and high quality. The wait staff was accommodating and so friendly. We even got to speak with the manager who made us feel like family. There was a large number of pies to select from which honestly was the toughest part of the whole experience. We settled with the key lime pie which was such a great choice but will definitely be back to taste the other types of pies. Lastly, this spot was bustling. We came around the lunch rush so there was a line. However, the line went quick and the tables flipped pretty quickly. We didn't have an issue finding a table and the wait staff was on top of it. This is a family friendly spot that had a southern, homey feel to it. Can't wait to be back for those pies!!

The next trip was tonight. We stood in front of the pie & ice cream counter and no one came. There was 4 younger folks standing by the registers area and they did not even acknowledge our presence or the folks that walked in behind us. I finally walked the 4 feet to the register to get the young man's attention and let him know we would like ice cream and a pie. He seemed a little put out at first but, in the end was pleasant to deal with. Nice place worth trying. They just need a little more awareness on folks coming in and giving them some guidance on where to order and acknowledging their presence. Welcome and can I help you down here would go a long way.

That was disappointing, especially since my other longtime favorite on Westheimer closed more than a decade ago when I was living in the Energy Corridor.

I made the drive from Sugar Land and was happy to see the familiar yellow and silver-colored design that I've always loved. I ordered my usual krab salad on wheat with veggies, heated, and it tasted just as good as I remembered: hot, fresh, and satisfying. These sandwiches are highly customizable! I also noticed they now offer gelato, which was new to me--maybe a newer concept and why not? I had a chance to chat with Julio, who I believe is the owner, and shared my long history and love for Which Wich. He confirmed that several locations have closed, including the Katy Freeway one earlier this year. Unfortunate, but I'm glad this location is still going strong. Great sandwich, friendly people, and a nostalgic experience overall. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely stop by.
