I love love fried chicken...I enjoy having fried chicken at sit down restaurants or fast drive throughs...from national brands to international versions! I like it all and actively look for fried chicken wherever I am It's with this fried chicken obsession in mind that I made a bee line to Houston Tx Hot Chicken which I found on Yelp. First let me say the design and aesthetic of this restaurant wins hands down; beautiful ins store imagery and signage. However, it all about the food! I ordered : 1) A classic chicken sandwich, mild sauce, combo (comes with fried and drink) And because I didn't want to miss out on their other sandwich...not like I'm here everyday ! 2) An original sandwich ( only) with mild sauce. 3) Mac and cheese for good measure This was a "linner" for me and frankly was hungry but also wanted to try as much of their offerings as possible. Whether it's the classic or the original, I didn't like either sandwich...the chicken of either sandwich wasn't crispy or moist, which I found strange considering both had a sauce. The adding of the sauce didn't help at all. I chose the mild and medium and were in spice/hot range that I was comfortable with. The fries were crispy and my favorite part of the meal. The Mac and cheese were sort of gummy and lacking in flavor (cheese flavor and salt). The service was friendly, helpful and fast but it's all about the food and I may never come back. read more

The food is amazing and the employees are super nice. Each visit I am impressed with how friendly and welcoming the employees are. I had the chicken sandwich with fries. The sandwich was so good with the crispy pickles. I like spice so ordered mine spicy and it was perfect. I do like ranch with my sandwich; the ranch sauce complimented the sandwich perfectly. The fries with the house sauce are so good. The seasoning on the fries is the best part. I will be back to this location and would order tue same thing again. Yum! read more

Houston TX Hot Chicken - Spicy nuggets - Sandwiches Near Me - Lehi, Utah

I'd say dies were really good. Crispy and well seasoned. Chicken burger is dry. If you like chicken that's kinda like stringy and jerky-like. Then this is your type of chicken. Services was alright, they told us that their spicy scale was pretty serious so we went with honey rub which wasn't spicy at all but very yum. Also the food took way too long for a fast causal restaurant. But at least the restaurant space was clean. read more

I decided to treat myself to a meal out a few days ago and my food at HHC in Traverse Mtn hit the spot. The fries were hot, fresh, and crispy. The chicken sandwich (mild spice level) was tasty and moist. However, the piece of chicken on the sandwich barely covered 2/3 of the bun, which was a little disappointing. The spice level was great, flavorful but with a hint of a kick. I tried the blueberry lavender lemonade which was tart, delicious and the flavors were there. The service was friendly and they even told me goodbye on my way out. The restaurant was clean and tidy. There weren't a lot of people there as the dinner rush hadn't hit yet. Overall a successful and joyful experience. read more

Chicken Sandwiches are always so tasty, along with the chicken strips! My son's favorite is the cheesy hot chicken, with medium sauce. I tried to take a picture but it was gone before I could get a chance lol! Only downside, my wife ordered the chicken tortilla soup. We had just come from a softball game and it was cold outside so this sounded amazing! First bowl came out cold, asked if we could get a warm soup, still came out cold. We took it home and warmed it up ourselves. Overall still yummy, will go back! read more

Houston TX Hot Chicken - Sandwich & Tender - Medium Sauce - So good! - Sandwiches Near Me - Lehi, Utah

Houston Hot Chicken of Utah? They caught my eye when I was lookng for something to eat during a recent road trip since I was tired of eating burgers. Service was good. They took my order and even tried giving me suggestions. I ordered their Original Hot Chicken sandwich, while my wife ordered their Cheesy Hot Chicken sandwich. The sandwich came with pickles, slaw and house sauce on a brioche bun. I ordered my sandwich "spicy". It wasn't spicy, but, it was a good sandwich. My wife liked her cheesy sandwich. Its more expensive than the more well known fast food chains. But, they do make a good sandwich. If I travel through Lehi again, or if I'm in Houston, or Bakersfield, I may have to visit them again. read more

The manager guy Steven was super friendly. He brought out all our food and checked on us several times. As we finished up the Ginger was on top of the clean up. The chicken was delicious and our friends from India were surprised at the heat it could pack. Between the excellent service and great food I think we found our new spot! read more

Great food! Their original hot chicken sandwich is the best! On the sandwich there is pickles, slaw and their house sauce. It's so good! You can pick your spice level. I always just do mild spice and it's very flavorful. Their fries are delicious and seasoned so well. I always get their house sauce to dip the fries in. read more

I'm a huge fan of hot chicken tenders. These were some of the best I've had. The spice levels were good. I tried medium, hot, and lift off. All were not too bad. I didn't love the house sauce, but the fries and slaw were excellent. 5/5 stars easily. Service was good. Not enough seats. It was crowded. read more

I'm probably going to start an uprise by saying this, but my first experience at Houston TX Hot Chicken was very 'meh' for me. I went with a friend who can't handle spice, so we went with the mild flavors to be safe. If I was to try it again, I'd definitely order a spicier rub. I didn't love how much sauce was on the sandwich and how much dressing was on the salad. It overpowered the taste of each dish. I personally didn't like their house sauce but my friend did. And we both agreed the fries weren't great. The staff was nice, the restaurant was clean, and the food came out really fast. So I am definitely open to trying it again! read more

I wanted to try their houston we have a problem chicken so we came here on Sunday to get some chicken. We got a mild cheesy chicken sandwich, a french fries with medium chicken, and a single tender of houston we have a problem. The Houston we have a problem is really truly so spicey, it is on par with the howling plus at howlin rays in LA. I took the tender home to try it and thankfully I did because it caused me so much pain that I would have been so uncomfortable eating this in public. After a few bites of the houston we have a problem, my ears were burning, now if you love spicy food you know this means something is really spicy. Soon after my whole mouth was inflamed and my lips were becoming swollen. I recommend coating your stomach with some greek yogurt / ice cream before eating this. I drank about 5 cups of milk after eating the tender. For the rest of the night I could not sleep because I had such severe stomach cramps that I was laying on the ground, and running back and forth to the toilet. I didn't feel normal until about 10 hours later . Great to try at least once !!!! I probably wont order it again because my stomach hurt too much, but if you love spicy food you have to try ! read more

This location is one of my favorites. There is a ton of seating and parking. My big group got to sit around the outdoor table with the fire in the middle. The cashiers and servers were great and the food was even better. The portions were perfect. I was able to try a bunch of things from their menu. I'm a sucker for good fries and juicy chicken, so the fusion fries were perfect for me. I am, however, an even bigger spice fan. Not pictured are the "Houston we have a problem" tender that I ate and the frozen lavender blueberry slush that put out the resulting fire in my mouth. If you're not a spice professional, stay away from that spice level! It's not for the faint of heart. It's a really well run establishment and it is a more elevated version of fast food. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Thinking about going into Houston TX Hot Chicken I was under the impression that we are going to another chicken place. I'd like to say that I was surprisingly incorrect. Is it just chicken, yup, but is it also delicious, 10000%. First off, thankfully Houston Hot Chicken is open on Sundays, in Lehi of all places, so that starts as a plus. The restaurant is near Harmon's at Traverse Mountain and wasn't too busy when we got there, but business started to pick up as we were eating. We decided to try the Fusion Fries and the Cheesy Hot Chicken. The Fries were amazing and there were plenty for my son and I to share a meal, with food leftover. My husband enjoyed the chicken sandwich as well (I didn't try it as I have an aversion to spice). We also tried the cookie shake with red velvet cookie - yum! Definitely would recommend trying Houston Tx Hot Honey Chicken and will be going again to try something different. read more

This was my second time trying HHC and I wanted to try the salad. It was delicious! I really enjoyed it - I did add a little bit extra dressing because I love extra dressing. The waffle shake was a lot for 1 person and was almost a meal! The service was great - fast and friendly. Overall it was delicious and I'll be back to try the next level up! read more

Really friendly and helpful staff (one of the owners came to our table and asked us how our food was and was really friendly!). Fun, casual, and energetic ambiance! I love the wood paneling on the walls. Okay, but the star of the show was the FLAVOR. The seasonings!! The fries and the sauce and the hot chicken sandwich (i got the mild and it still had a little kick, but they also have a "honey butter" version I want to try next time) it was like a wake-up call to my tastebuds. The thought that came into my head was..."this is so much better than Chick-fil-A!" Also flavorful and refreshing were the drinks! The strawberry hibiscus lemonade AND the cucumber watermelon drinks taste like SUMMER. The combo of the salty fries and sandwich with the sweet lemonade....MMM. I want to re-live that meal again! read more

Chicken was fresh and size of chicken tenders are large and meaty. Flavor is good but fries are a bit salty but have good flavor.

Houston TX Hot Chicken - Medium Chicken Strips with Fries and House Sauce - Sandwiches Near Me - Lehi, Utah

The first time I came here was for the grand opening. I had an amazing experience then with the quick service and the delicious food. This was our third time here and it also was an amazing visit! The service when we came on Wednesday night was quick. Our cashier was very kind. There were plenty of seats. In addition, one of the owners (I believe it was an owner) was checking on all the customers and asking how everything was. She also asked for feedback which I appreciated. Their quality of food is top tier. Their chicken is big, seasoned perfectly, and juicy. The chicken sandwich has been my favorite. I love the pickles, House sauce, and slaw. Everything works so well together and the flavor is outstanding! I get the medium heat and it's perfect. I love their fries too. They are always hot, crispy, and the seasoning is too good. We tried their chocolate and waffle shake and were impressed with both. The ice cream was very creamy and had a nice flavor. Loved the waffle and it's texture in the waffle shake. I enjoyed the chocolate sauce melting into the vanilla ice cream in the chocolate shake. Always delicious food with great service. So glad they are in Utah! Definitely one of the better options in the valley. read more

There was a nice long line so I'm obviously not the only one who has discovered hot chicken! Ramon was awesome. He walked me through the menu and steamed me in the right direction. It's always nice to meet people who are passionate about food! I tried the classic chicken at level five and loved it! I had a chicken tender as well and it was juicy and delicious. The spice level was spot on. A wonderful mixture of heat and flavor. read more

Best chicken spot in Utah, period! I've been here way too many times, at least 10. There are a crazy number of chicken spots in Utah, but Houston Hot Chicken stands out far above the rest for their top quality and never frozen chicken! You can literally taste the difference. This is the only chicken place that I have been to where I don't feel sick after. The tenders here are massive, filled with juicy white meat. Breading is minimal, just how I like my tenders - more meat, less crisp. Spice levels range from no spice to 2 million Scoville waiver level. Medium is perfect and my go-to when I want to enjoy my meal with just a little kick. Their house sauce is delicious, and crinkle fries are perfectly seasoned. Some of my favorites include the tenders and waffle, fusion fries (loaded with chicken, mango, black beans, corn), tender meal, and the secret menu waffle sandwich. Their liege waffle here is legit, btw. Chicken always comes out piping hot. Guys, this is seriously an amazing chicken spot! This is the only spot I go to for chicken, I actually previously never craved going to a chicken place because I always felt sick after eating at all of the other ones. Highly recommend! read more

This is a terrific fast casual restaurant. The tables are best for parties of four or fewer and the location may get full during prime hours since it's a smaller dining area. While the menu may be a bit more limited than other places, the quality and flavor of the food was fantastic. We ordered both the Texas Caesar and Southwest salad and both we're good. You can select your level of spicy so you don't have to worry if you don't enjoy spicy food. I can't wait to go back and try the tenders and waffles. read more

We went inside to order takeout. The menu is simple, with sandwich, chicken tender and salad options. They have different levels of spice you can choose from, my favorite being the honey butter for the original hot chicken sandwich! This one is tasty and great for those that have trouble with hot sauce! They also did provide some hot sauce to go. If you do decide to get the Fusion Fries, be aware that this is a large serving (good enough for a meal). Service was good, they were nice and patient at the cash register plus quick with getting the food out. We went around 8pm on a Friday night and it had a lot of people, so it was good that they were plenty of tables. The atmosphere is pretty casual and clean. read more

Pretty good! We got our food relatively quick for a Saturday night. The dry rub kinda sucks all the moisture out of your mouth lol but had a good flavor. Fries were a 10/10 for a crisp outside, soft inside, and a tasty seasoning on the exterior. They have interesting drink flavors that you can get in a slushy as well. They were good! It reminds me of Pretty Bird in SLC (I'd say pretty bird has better flavor and juicier chicken). All in all in a good experience and we did enjoy our meal. read more

It's been a few months since trying HHC after its opening and I think it's about time to go back. The wait was fairly long and tables were limited for the amount of people there. I went with the original hot chicken sandwich, medium heat. For the price, the sandwich seems smaller compared to other places, but I personally thought the chicken was prepared perfectly as were the crinkle fries! And the fry sauce wasn't just basic fry sauce, you can taste a difference. It was the perfect amount of food. For being medium heat it was still pretty spicy. It was almost too spicy for my friend who said she should have gone with the mild heat to enjoy her meal more. The ambiance was a little noisy for my preference, but it was super busy due to its opening and I imagine it's died down by now (TBD on this fine day). Staff was very friendly. read more

My new favorite chicken tenders/sandwich place. The fries are amazing as well; I love the seasoning they use. Plus, they are not joking when it comes to spices. Medium has sufficient punch for me, spicy is too hot. No way in he** I'm trying the "Houston, we have a problem" level. read more

Probably between a 3 and 4 rating. I'm giving a 4 because it's good, but not as good as Dave's Hot Chicken, while also being a bit more expensive. It is however better than a lot of other places in Utah that have spicy chicken (Crack Shack & Dirty Bird). The chicken was mostly crispy and pretty moist on the inside. The seasoning was good, but didn't wow me. Spicy was definitely spicy. I wondered if I was accidentally given a hotter level, which I didn't mind. I don't love the house sauce here. It's not bad, but not great either. I liked the slaw on the sandwich. read more

Houston TX Hot Chicken - Sandwich & Tender Meal - Sandwiches Near Me - Lehi, Utah

Will not return to the Lehi Houston Hot Chicken until the summer if ever. Went to eat dinner at 5 pm. The inside of the store was 55 degrees. I asked if they could turn on the furnace and the cashier replied they did not have one...WHAT? Noticed the two person crew huddled near the stove in the kitchen for their portion of heat. Had to beg the cashier to come out to the front desk to put in an order. One of my tenders was very crusty, over cooked and hard to bite as it was way over fried. Very disappointing experience. Also note we were the only table there and someone jacked up the music so we would leave sooner. Very disappointing experience. Not going back until June or July when it may be more habitable. read more

My favorite restaurant finally in utah and open on Sundays!! You literally cannot go wrong with anything on the menu! I always go for a classic hot chicken sandwich or tenders, but love to mix it up with the loaded or fusion fries!

Their lemonades are like the cherry on top of the meal they are so refreshing and flavorful chilled or frozen read more

I returned to HHC and was not disappointed. This time I tried the mild tenders on my way up to the Houston, We have a problem. Mild is absolutly delicious. The SHU is the perfect level. You get all the flavors with little heat. This is a completly different tender compaired to the No Spice and Honey Butter. Mild is a good starting point if you are worried about the heat and you can't go wrong with the flavor. Fries were even better the second time around and deserve a new rating. Mild Tenders - 9.2/10 Fries - 8.7/10 read more

Really glad I gave this place another shot. EVERYTHING was significantly better this time around. The food was excellent, my wife was raving about hers too which is always a win. Chicken was top notch, I got the sandwich medium spice and a spicy tender. Loved them both. My wife is a huge fan of the mild option, she goes for the tenders. Obviously you come for the chicken but the fries and slaw were great this time too. Again, much better than the first time. All the workers were very nice and helpful, line went much quicker and the place was cleaner. Realistically I think they were probably just insanely busy the first time I came shortly after they opened and were trying to get a good flow going. I hope they can keep it together as we plan to be back often. read more

Great hot chicken made my mouth absolutely water from all the heat. Gosh dang let's go guys

Pretty good sandwich and some amazing fries. While I was ordering the cashier liked my tattoo and it made my day.

Really liked the Houston Hot Chicken. The flavors were excellent, dialed in heat, nice and tender chicken. Their house sauce was yummy too. Little bit'o honey with a nice kick. Great on the sandwich and for fries sauce. The heat, mild, but did build a little bit. My daughter ordered the tenders and she raved about them. They looked really good with pickles skewered in them. Crinkle cut fries were nice and crispy covered with herbs and spices. Would definitely go back. read more

Overall, it was ok. I thought the seasoning on the chicken wasn't the best. There was nothing special about the chicken that would make me want to order anything here again... there are definitely better chicken places out there in Utah. The only thing I liked were the house lemonades. I got the hibiscus lemonade slushy. It was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. I would go again only for the drink. read more

Another chicken joint? No, THE chicken joint! Houston Hot is hands down the best hot chicken in Utah. The chicken is seasoned so well, the spice levels are perfect and the coleslaw was delicious The seasoning on the fries was also delicious and it comes with a pink sauce that almost reminds me of a spicy sweet and sour. A nice change from the typical chicken dipping sauce I tried the cheesy chicken sandwich and the cheese was flavorful and not gritty! The menu was priced well and had options for everyone - even if you're afraid of spice I kept hearing how good the waffles were. I gotta go back to try them! As well as the fusion fries!! read more
