    Chocolate shake
    Brooke F.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Charging me $2.50 for this amount of pickles is criminal. Chicken and fries were fine.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Whenever I'm craving a hot chicken sandwich I always come here. The store is always clean, the employees are always friendly and the food is consistently tasty, I've had no complaints!

    Maddie, helped me and my boyfriend today earlier (5/16/26). She is the sweetest and pure loving. Definitely will be coming back for her. The food was of course delicious:)

    Cheese fries
    Kassie L.

    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.

    I recently made an online order through the app and it was so convenient! My order was ready once I got there and everything came out perfect. Once again this place is great! The food, service, and ambiance of the shop is still going good. If they were closer to me I'd visit more often!

    Easy peasy 5 stars…read more Tempe Eats has a cool concept, there are several smaller restaurants that are setup in a food court deal, you use the QR Code to get your food. They have alcohol which seems to be sold by a different company-- Anyways chik pop is just amazing. I got the OG Sando spicy which was a perfectly fried chicken thigh in a sandwich-- they add an extra piece of chicken with it so just on portion size this place is a winner. The heat was solid and the chicken was juicy check my pic. Staff was super friendly and the Tempe Eats has someone checking on you as well. The sandwiches come with a purple Italian style dressing ( not sure what is was) that you may find off-putting so if you are sensitive to that stuff get the sauce on the side. I didn't mind it all. Sandwich comes with fries-- the place has water pitchers with lemons in it, get some water. You need to try this place! Can't wait to go back.

I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich, and the portion was huge the chicken was spilling out of the bread! I was actually the only one at the table who finished the whole thing (I was hungry!). We came here for my brother's birthday and our server did a great job making him feel special. They offered him a birthday shot, but since he doesn't drink, they brought us churros for the table instead which was sweet of them. One thing to note* I wasn't expecting it to be as spicy as it was. Our server did give me a heads up but I personally loved the heat. If you're not into spicy food though, it might be a bit much.

It's summer so…read morefew students but the place was full of casual professionals on lunch break and my wait to order was less than a minute. The girl at the counter was beyond good customer service. Helped with the bread to choose and when I said everything she immediately asked about jalapeños sensing my appearance might require the question. It did. I laughed. A good sandwich can quickly be ruined by the bread but I think I got their house bread and it too was incredible. Thanks for a great lunch.

When I started at ASU back in 2014, I discovered Ike's as I was exploring Mill Avenue. Since then, Ike's has been among my favorite places for sandwiches. Although it is no longer on the menu, my favorite sandwich is the Steph Curry One, which features turkey, provolone cheese, and yellow BBQ sauce. I found out that even if something is not on the menu, they can still make it for you if you remember the combination. Some other sandwiches I like are the Hunter Pence and the Steve Nash. The service is friendly, and they are more than happy to offer suggestions on what sandwich to choose, as they have an excellent selection of sandwiches. I also like the atmosphere. It is nice and colorful, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy your food. Ike's is also a great place to go if you need to eat on the run. Once, I had to take my sandwich to go. Upon ordering it, they had it ready with plenty of time to spare. I also like that they have a rewards program. I highly recommend Ike's Love and Sandwiches to anyone who is looking for a great sandwich on Mill Avenue.
