Daniel was being so fr when he said we shouldn't have ordered the spiciest shit. Shouldn't have ordered the heat level you gotta sign a waiver to be in hell. Chicken: hot. Daniel: hell yeah. But fr don't order ts chicken is good but spicy is no joke read more

I've had their mild chicken sandwich and they're great. This time I ordered spicy and buffalo tenders with fries and a spicy chicken sandwich. Spicy was definitely an upper level. I think I'll stick with mild. If you like spicy, this is your jam. Always love their fries. They have two more levels higher than spicy and one requires you to sign a waiver so I'll pass but it's great they cater to different taste levels and tolerances. Their food is really good for fast food. read more

One of the better hot chicken places I've been to recently. We tried the basic chicken sandwich, one with the cheese sauce and the loaded fries. Outside of the ridiculous mess we made the food was really good. Chicken was cooked just right and the level of spice suggested was spot on. I read others saying it was too hot so I already knew going in. The sides were ok but I really like the waffle and syrup combo. It paired with the chicken perfectly but I have to say the fries were without a doubt the best thing on the menu. The place was pretty empty while we were there and our son who goes to school in the area commented on how often it seemed dead here. Hopefully they make it because the food is pretty good and I'd love to swing by again. read more

Didn't even know this place existed, just happened to stumble across it with my s/o on our way home. We were so surprised! This place is SO good!!! So many options, so much flavor, and such a great chocolate shake. Chocolate packed. We love the TVs in there as well, we were able to watch a few games while enjoying our dinner. We will be returning! read more

Earning my Yelp Elite status from exploring Houston's food scene, this interstate chicken chain made me proud. You order at the cashier, then listen for your name to be called at the register. I ordered the 3 tenders & fries, served with pickles (I opted out) and 2 house sauces (which I opted to keep as house sauces). I also got a regular strawberry hibiscus lemonade. My spice level was mild, but that did not at all take away from the explosion of flavor in this food! The chicken tenders were juicy and made with real chicken with its meat striated. The tenders and fries were coated with their house spice mix, which paired perfectly with their house sauce, which tasted like a comeback sauce but a bit darker and heavier on the tomato. Amazing. My drink came without ice and was very sweet and delicious. Next time, I'll try it frozen for an additional $1. Overall as a Texan who's been generally unimpressed with Arizonan food thus far, this chain cured some homesickness and provided a deliciously flavorful meal at a reasonable price. read more

I came hear during lunch time and the restaurant only had a few people in it. I ordered and received my to go order within about 15 minutes. The cashier was super nice and made to sure to hand me silverware and a straw. The restaurant is extremely casual and has multiple large tvs on 3 out of 4 walls. There is outdoor seating. I wasnt super impressed with the food, the frys were good but they started to taste too sweet after a few bites. The chicken was a little bland, I did the mild level and I would definitely not get it again. I did order a side of their house sauce and unfortunately that didn't really help with adding flavor. I will say that the coleslaw was phenomenal!!! If you are going to go, I would definitely recommend that you ensure you have their coleslaw. read more

Dined: 9 people on 4/14/26 We stopped in to celebrate winning our high school tennis match. We've never tried HHC but have tried Dave's HC and Twist HC. We LOVED HHC and feel it's slightly better than DHC & much better than THC. The hot is better and the chicken is juicier and moister! The chicken & waffle is AWESOME! Loved the fries and coleslaw as well. We will DEFINITELY be back! read more

I'd been eyeing this place for couple weeks after seeing it on TikTok. I finally made it in, totally ready for some serious heat. I ordered the medium spice level and was waiting to cry because of the and... nothing. It tasted like the kitchen forgot the chili at all!!!!. I came specifically for the kick. Here's the rundown: * Medium-spice sandwich: no detectable heat. !!!!! * Chicken tender - butter honey, non spicy, ordered plain as a backup in case the sandwich melted my face off--turns out they were the only flavor on the plate. Juicy, yes, but zero spice. * Fries Classic crinkle-cuts. No special seasoning, but hey, fries are fries--they're hard to mess up and still tasted fine. * House sauce - not creamy enough, watery. So for now, it's a solid 3/5. I'm willing to give them another shot, but next time I'll either go a notch (or two) hotter or chat with the staff to make sure I'm actually getting the spice level I ordered. If that sandwich finally delivers the burn everyone raves about, I'll gladly bump the rating up. read more

Tried Houston's Hot Chicken and it was honestly really good. Definitely better than Dave's Hot Chicken in my opinion. The sauce was amazing, that's what really stood out. Everything just had good flavor and didn't feel dry or basic. Service was great too, no issues at all. The place was busy the whole time with people coming in and out, even Amazon drivers and people on lunch breaks were eating there, so you can tell locals actually like it. Easy 5 stars. read more

Omg...stumbled onto this place and wow! Huge shoutout to Maddy for the amazing service...when I'm back in town, I'm asking for her. Hold onto this one! I went with the Original Hot Chicken Sandwich...crispy, juicy, and packed with just the right amount of heat. It comes with fries, and don't sleep on the house sauce...trust me, get at least two or three. Perfect spot to catch a game while you eat, prices are solid, and again....Maddy made the whole experience even better. This place is hot hot hot! ***my apologies for not taking any photos. read more

Came here with my husband who wanted to try it. Houston TX Hot Chicken is on the corner of University and Rural. There is a small lot with free parking. Service was fast and friendly--can order at the counter or at one of two kiosks. I hadn't looked at the menu beforehand and quickly realized there wasn't much in the way of vegetarian food--possibly some loaded fries or a salad but there's no "chicken" substitute. I got cheese fries and a fountain drink. Husband got a chicken sandwich, fries, drink. Bill was around $30. While I wasn't thrilled with the vegetarian menu options, the crinkle cut fries were solid as was the cheese sauce. Tried the husband's mild sauce--lots of flavor. The atmosphere is sports bar-ish. There are 10 huge TVs and a giant painting of a sports car. There were two different songs playing--pop in the kitchen area and some kind of world-techno blasting in the dining area so loud it wasn't possible to have a conversation--at noon on a Thursday. I get every restaurant near ASU has to be able to serve food and transition to late-night drunk-food hang out, but honestly, the 10 screens in a small space and two different songs blaring was so overwhelming I debated fleeing to eat in my car. read more

My absolute favorite hot chicken spot. The hot is perfectly spiced where I feel the heat but can finish my food. Not too much breading! Love it read more

Order 2 loaded fries to go with sauce, coleslaw, and pickles on the side. Extremely disappointing, Did not receive anything on the side no pickles sauce or slaw and there was only 4 pieces of chicken on each of the loaded fries a total of 8 pieces. Not worth $26 for a bucket of fries and 4 piece of chicken. It also took 25 minutes to receive. Just completely disappointing will not be returning. read more

We tried out Houston Hot Chicken cause it was national fried chicken day. Maddy and her team were personable, walked us through the menu, and checked back to ensure everything was to our liking. We both got the three tender and fries meal, and added a strawberry milkshake. The tenders were thick, crispy, and nicely spiced. We opted for mild. The crinkle cut french fries were piping hot. The only drawback was the arrow for the milkshake was thin. So we pivoted to eat it with a spoon. We will be back. read more

Got my order quick, the servers were so kind. The hot-honey rub tenders were huge, loved that they offer in door and out door seating. L

Love it. Just went by today and the chicken sandwich was delicious. The bun was soft and the chicken was flavorful. The fries were crispy and delicious. The house sauce tasted good. It reminded me of a creamy sweet and sour dipping sauce in a way. The medium might be a little much for me. I think I need to go light spice. There were lots of people coming in and out. It is a popular restaurant. The drinks are good. A little unusual with the flavor combinations with the lemonade, but fun to try. Hibiscus. Lavender. Cucumber. Lots of sports tvs. I hear they have happy hour discount for drinks. I would like to see food happy hour discounts. Service could be a little more professional. I suppose if they open a location further away, they might have more professional employees. read more

It's Thanksgiving Day! Happy Thanksgiving! While the turkey rules the roost today, let's talk chicken instead. On my first visit, I got a medium-spice Cheesy Hot Chicken and let me tell you this: I ate and left no crumbs. Having tried the "spicy" level, I'll be getting it at that level next time. The Cheesy Hot Chicken is their original hot chicken sandwich with the addition of housemade cheese sauce, all served on a brioche bun with pickles. House sauce + fries = yes! 4.5 stars easy, but I just can't give them a five. There's another hot chicken place down the street that has a death grip on my tastebuds. This place has more seating and better parking, though, so I'll be back for sure. read more

While the food is absolutely delicious here, it's also insane that I ended up waiting 40 minutes for a single sandwich. I didn't think anything about it when 10 minutes had passed, but once it was 20 minutes I decided to ask one of the workers how much longer it would be for my order and that's when they finally decided to inform us they were working on a catering order. I work in the food service industry so I was a little confused as to why that's not something they would disclose at the beginning of us ordering, especially if they knew it was a large order. They told us it would only be 5-10 more minutes though... and then that became 20 extra minutes of us waiting. The customer before me also ended up waiting 40 minutes for just 3 tenders. I feel like they should've offered us a free drink or something after seeing us in the lobby waiting for half an hour. And it didn't help that the 3 people on expo were just talking and fooling around. They had also looked irritated when we had gone up after that half hour to ask about our order. While I love the food, I don't know if I'll go back. TLDR: Food is great. Service not so much. read more

It was ok bot as good as Dave's but I would eat here. Service was good. The resturant is a cool spot to hang out at.

I'm a regular here and always have great service allthough today I was let down I wanted 28 minutes for a shake.... That's all I ordered. after my friend got hershake who came after me got it before me and when I went up to the counter he was chatting with his co worker while my shake was melting right in front of him. I always like my shakes fresh and thick I was left with a watery mess. Very dissatisfied! read more

Not Hot! I had to sign a waiver. For What?? lol It's not for the weak though. I did sweat a little. Cogburns Competition Sauce is a lot hotter. Chicken was good. Looks bigger on the website. The staff was friendly and the restaurant is clean. I tried it at least. read more

My boba sistah and I came here for lunch after we enjoyed complimentary meals a few weeks earlier. This time we ordered from the kiosk and I got their Cheesy Hot Chicken Sandwich Meal - level Spicy with coleslaw on the side. It was just as delicious as before and the cheese was a nice touch. Not a fan of their house sauce so next time I will have to ask if I can substitute it for something else, maybe ranch or maple syrup. I like getting the coleslaw on the side because it helps cool things down, rather than being mixed in the sandwich. I was full after finishing my meal and my companion took her salad and tenders home to eat for dinner. Good amount of parking and spacious dining area with a patio I'd love to use in the cooler months. Jeff at the front is a fabulous employee and I loved seeing him again! Definitely recommend this spot if you're craving some hot chicken. I'd like to try different spice levels (so far I've gotten their liftoff and spicy) and their waffles too. read more

This place was jumping for a Sunday morning, and had a wonderful and diverse customer base. As I waited for my food, I noticed what was being ordered. Apparently Hot chicken and waffles is just as popular as the original chicken and waffles dish. The counter service was warm and friendly. Even with the amount of people coming and going, the staff was still kind. I ordered a three piece tender combo- really good. I know this is going to sound crazy, but the Fries were Everything! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and well seasoned. Try the Fries. read more

Ever since one of my favorite hot chicken spots moved to Scottsdale, I've been looking for a place to satisfy my craving! I placed my order online, with an estimated 15 minutes until my order was ready for pickup. I received a text in under 10 minutes that my order was ready! I can't attest to the ambiance as I had fiancé pick up my order. I will say, I was impressed that my meal had been packaged accurately- with pickles on the side (it's the simple things). I opted for the Original Hot Chicken Sandwich in Habanero, the third spiciest option. It definitely had a kick to it but it wasn't too overwhelmingly spicy that it couldn't be enjoyed. I liked the seasoned crinkle cut fries although I would have liked more of them. It came with their signature sauce, which is best described as sweet- but it worked! I thought about getting a shake but ordered the blueberry lavender lemonade (20 oz, $3.99) which was refreshing and sweet. Not too lavender at all. Definitely recommend! read more

This place popped up on Yelp with great recap we came to check it out. Even though it's close to ASU campus, there is plenty of parking. The building is nice and clean and seating is plenty and comfortable. I already knew I didn't want spicy and was happy to see you can get tenders with honey butter seasoning, which was a 0 on the 1-10 scale. I got the tenders and waffles which came with 2 nice sized tenders, a waffle and a nice portion of seasoned fries. It was $12. All of my food was hot and freshly made. The fries have a dusting of spices that are sweet and savory. The tenders were large and seasoned well. But the waffle! It was so good. I would go back just for those. The reason I went with 4 stars is that my t-mobile phone did not have reception. I asked an employee if there is a PW for the internet and was told it's not something they provide, even to employees. That's something that might keep me away. And I'm still not used to this new mindset for tipping. I paid $30 for fast food lunch for 2 and the screen asked me to pay 15, 18 or 20% in a tip. No! Not for $30 fast food lunch. read more

I was able to attend the Elite event held here and have been more excited! Upon entering I noticed the layout; it had a sports bar vibe to include various TV screens. After I checked in, I ordered the least spicy chicken sandwich with honey butter and chicken strips that came with cole slaw and seasoned fries. Both the sandwich and the strips were juicy fared better than some other chicken fast food places! The fries were a mix of crunchy and soft without a hint of sogginess. I also enjoyed the sweet taste of the house sauce. And the Yelp Swag bottle of hot sauce as well. What really made me give a 5-star rating was the worker Jeff. He was really going all out to make sure other patrons and myself were having the best meal experience we could have! I would gladly spend my money on the food and service on a return visit! PS the bathroom was clean, tucked away down a short corridor and security-coded! read more

When you first step inside, you can see that there is a gigantic TV consisting of four screens on the far wall. On another wall across from the register, you can see that there are a few TVs there, too. I think the TVs were on mute, and I don't remember hearing any sound coming from them. The inside of the store was quiet, especially since there was only a few customers inside. The light comes in brightly from the outdoor patio, so you can't really see who is sitting down at the tables. The parking is pretty good at the moment probably because there weren't very many customers and also because it's summer and the nearby university doesn't have that many students during the summer. I am sure that during the school year the parking lot will be very crowded and the restaurant will be very busy. They have a few different lemonade flavors. I remember the strawberry hibiscus, and it tasted like strawberry at first but then you get the follow up flowery hibiscus taste. The cucumber, watermelon tasted very strongly of cucumber and if you like cucumber, you will like it. The blueberry lavender was interesting and I thought it tasted a little bit like some sort of ice cream. What really delighted me was the french fries. They were crispy on the outside and they were soft on the inside. They came out a good hot temperature. Even after they cooled down, they were still crispy and very delicious. They might be my favorite french fry restaurant now. French fries had a little bit of a paprika seasoning on it. I love the house dipping sauce that came with the french fries. It was very delicious. I thought it was the honey butter sauce. It had a sweet flavor. The chicken tenders were very delicious as well. The outside was crispy and the inside was moist. I think this might be one of the best chicken tenders I have ever had. They are actually across the street from a place that I buy from as well. I might have to say due to the size of these chicken tenders, and the crispiness and the moistness, that they might be number one for me. I got the medium spice level and it was just right for me. I actually didn't feel like it was very spicy. I had to wait around a little for my food to come out. Overall, I will definitely be back. read more

Crispy, juicy chicken? Yes, please! First timer here! This place is right in my backyard and my husband and I were looking for a quick bite. Houston TX Hot Chicken fit the bill! Located right by ASU campus, but fortunately right before it gets super congested. They have their own parking lot and an awesome outdoor patio. Inside provides ample seating and many TV's if you're looking to watch a game. It's counter service, but they also have a kiosk if you want to avoid the counter. Once you order, you snag a number and they bring it right to you. First, EVERYONE was so friendly and kind. The whole team asked if we needed anything or wanted assistance with the menu and helped answer questions and ever shared menu suggestions. I opted for the three tender and fries meal. My husband got the chicken sandwich and fries meal. I was able to get the tenders each at a different spice level, which I loved and it came with two sauces. I ordered the honey butter, medium and spicy heat levels for my tenders-they are all a dry type seasoning, but delicious nonetheless. I enjoyed them all. The tenders were so juicy and hardy. They really hit the mark and did not skimp on portions. The fries were delicious, crispy and seasoned well. I ordered the house sauce, ranch and cilantro. What can I say, I'm a saucy girl! The house sauce is sort of like a fry sauce, little sweeter and pairs nicely with the tenders and fries. The cilantro didn't really do it for me, tasted primarily like sour cream and not quite enough flavor, though I suppose nice to cool the heat down if needed. The ranch was Ken's dressing, though good, I was REALLY hoping for a house made ranch, because it's always so good and pairs so well with tenders, but I regress. My husband really enjoyed his chicken sandwich and got a side of cheese sauce with his fries which he loved and said would definitely get again. He felt the mild flavor didn't have quite enough flavor for him and he'd bump up the heat next time. We shared a cucumber watermelon lemonade as well, which was delightful. Overall, 5 star experience and I look forward to visiting again when the craving arises! read more
