    **Sandwich & Tender
    Lauren N.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    **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!

    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!

    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.

    Chicken tortilla soup with spicy spice level
    Sharon T.

    The chicken tortilla soup is my absolute fav and it did not disappoint. I got the spicy spice level and it's just the right amount of kick. The customer service is A-1.

    Nicki M.

    Yes, yes, YES!! Every time it's amazing! I highly recommend the classic chicken sandwich with buffalo as the flavor sauce. The bun is perfect, the coleslaw adds a nice cool crunch, the pickles are crisp and delicious, the house sauce adds an extra layer of flavor, and the chicken that is moist and tender...so much yumminess! Have about 10 napkins on hand too! Besides the food, it has a nice vibe. Trendy bar scene or casual outside dining or even chill inside with friends- options! Enjoy this place- it's definitely my new favorite!

    2 Tender Meal & Southwest Salad
    R. R.

    We had the 2 chicken tender meal with fries & the mango salad & both were delicious! It came out hot, crispy & tender with loads of flavor. Great value for the portions.

    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.

    We stopped in for drinks and dessert and were not disappointed. From the moment we walked in, the…read moreservice was outstanding. We sat at the bar and our server, Shante, was fantastic. I asked for a drink recommendation and she gave me two great options. I chose the Tres Cucumber and it was amazing. Refreshing, not too sweet, and perfectly balanced with a clean cucumber flavor. My husband ordered the Old Fashioned, which was also very well done. We shared the fudge brownie for dessert and it was rich, moist, and elevated with just the right hint of espresso. The atmosphere is comfortable and versatile. It works just as well for a date night as it does for a girls night or a casual meet-up with a friend. 10 out of 10. I definitely recommend this spot and will absolutely be back.

    The restaurant is big and open, stylishly appointed but it also creates a fairly noisy environment…read morewhen the restaurant is full. We were lucky enough to get a table along the perimeter at the window so we had a nice view and could still have conversation. We ordered some flatbread for the table (variety of 3) and they were somewhat underwhelming, neither warm nor cold, and appeared to have just had items dropped on top of them. Having ordered them once (to go) from this location as well as in-house at the Town & Country location, where they were very good both times, somebody was just a little off their game today. We also ordered shakshuka, which was very good and wiped away the memory of the less than stellar flatbread. I would definitely return here again and try other things.

    I recently moved back to Houston after living out of state, where there aren't any Which Wich…read morelocations, so it had been at least five years since my last visit. I used to go to the Westheimer location and the one on I-10 near Bunker Hill, but both have since closed. While on the west side, I was happy to spot a Which Wich in Cinco Ranch and decided to stop by, especially since I had a BOGO (buy one, get one free) sandwich deal. Most 7-inch sandwiches start at $8.75 plus tax, including options like turkey, ham, and Reuben, and I went with the crab salad sandwich. One thing I've always liked about Which Wich is the ability to order your sandwich toasted or cold, along with a wide selection of toppings included at no extra charge. These include hummus, oil, spinach, bell peppers, olives, lettuce, banana peppers, and more. The topping selection is generous and adds a lot of value. The owner, Julio, was very friendly and welcoming. We chatted briefly while picking up our order, and he shared some background on the Houston-area locations that had closed. This location also offers gelato, which he mentioned is a newer concept they're testing out. If you're in the Cinco Ranch area and craving a solid, customizable sandwich with friendly service, this is a great spot to check out. Highly recommend.
