    Cause who wouldn't want a rooster perched on your helmet before riding off into the sunset! I love it !
    Gary B.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    **Original Hot Chicken Sandwich

    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.

    Sandwich & Tender - Medium Sauce - So good!
    Joe S.

    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!

    Proof that I ate the spiciest tender in the valley

    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.

    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.

    Tenders and Slaw
    Kasey Y.

    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.

    Fusion Fries
    Kristyl H.

    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.

    Texas Caesar Salad
    Sarah H.

    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!

    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!

    Medium Chicken Strips with Fries and House Sauce
    Megan H.

    Loved Houston Hot Chicken! The place was so clean, the staff was friendly, and our food came out super quickly. It chicken was hot and the fries were crispy. Overall great experience. Definitely recommend!

    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.
