What a treat! Hubby and I split the 5-piece tender meal for lunch (comes w/fries, coleslaw, & Tx toast). Delish! We ordered our tenders GRILLED. They were plump and moist. Lots o' places have breaded, and no doubt those are just as tasty. But grilled, that was gooood! I'd eat here again if we lived close, but we were just passing through...and so glad we stopped. FYI, the directions on Yelp sent us the opposite direction on Sunshine St. Note, their location is on the SW corner of Hwy 65. read more

Tonight was the first time my boyfriend and I tried this restaurant, and we both agreed that it was a knockoff version of raising Cane's. It's slightly different than raising Cane's but they are nothing compared to raising cane'. Chicken was dry and the breading was soft. The fries were soggy. The only thing I really liked about my food was the coleslaw. Their signature sauce was a complete replica of cane sauce just a smidge different. Otherwise disappointing. Wont be going back. Cane's all the way! read more

Amazing. Worth the price, pickles were good sauce a nice tang to the chicken and the fries had a good flavour to them read more

Huey Magoos - Sandwich and tender combo - Chicken Shop Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

We like this place. Battlefield road location. Simple 3 strip, fries, and drink. The chicken came out hot, fries also hot. (So many places the fries are only warm upon arrival and if I'm gonna eat food that is bad for me I like it to taste good ). Drinks are good and last trips they are .99 instead of the usual place 3.00 prices. Flavored lemonades are good as well. Came out quickly and cafe is clean and well tended. read more

I placed my take-out order for sauced chicken tenders online and used a coupon for a free cookie. I honestly believe that they were the best chicken tenders / chicken strips I've ever had! Somehow the chicken was incredibly soft but thoroughly cooked. Usually chicken tenders are crunchy and dry. I ordered them sauced with their buffalo sauce and had the spicy Magoo dip. The fries were great, the Texas toast was good but the chicken tenders were outstanding! I highly recommend this place and the next time I'm back in Springfield I will visit it again! read more

Huey Magoos - 5 piece Buffalo sauced chicken tenders with fries and Texas toast - Chicken Shop Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

First and last time trying. 3 pc combo meal and everything was so salty the first few bites (fries and chicken tenders) made my lips and throat burn. 2 or 3 bites and I threw the rest away. read more

Great Chicken. Good fries! I also enjoy the cold slaw side option. The service is spectacular with hot food served daily. Highly recommend. read more

5 stars isn't even enough, I wish I could give 10 stars. The staff who worked on 8/10/2025 around 11am-12pm... truly, out did themselves, everyone and everything was PERFECT, I couldn't have had a better 1st time experience with a restaurant in my entire life. I will be coming back as a regular. I just am forever thankful to everyone who had a hand in the making of this scrumptious meal. I would've attached a picture I simply ate it all up. 10/10 would recommend to a friend, or anyone you know matter of fact. Again, thank you for this delightful food, you all are doing life saving work because I had been dying for a good meal read more

Love chicken tenders, but this place is a no for me. The tenders were way too salty, but it was the staff that was the biggest turn-off. If you don't like working there, get another job. read more

The tenders actually have some seasoning in their breading mix! This is a refreshing difference from all the other tender restaurants and something that immediately sets them apart. The meat is well cooked and remains pleasantly juicy. The fries and bread are...okay. I see a couple of folks complaining about salt. I feel like the fry seasoning is heavy handed with the pepper. I've tried the buffalo and the ranch sauces. Personally, I felt like the buffalo was a bit too vinegary and the ranch is a bit too bland. They're not horrible, just not what I expect in each. Overall, the food and service is slightly above average and IMHO doesn't deserve negative reviews. read more

Delicious food nice people juicy chicken and we had to wait an extra few minutes so they gave us free cookies

I kept hearing about this place so I finally decided to give them a try. I got a five piece hand breaded tender meal and I'm neither disappointed or too crazy about this place. The tenders were hot and fresh and the chicken batter they used was pretty good. It put me in mind of some better quality KFC. The fries were a little on the salty side and then they were crinkle cut fries which I don't consider to be my absolute favorite kind of fries. The service was okay and they kept forgetting things but they were a little busy when I visited so I'll give them that. The ambiance was kind of different for a fast food chicken place. Overall it wasn't really anything too special. I might give them another try once the newness of this place dies down a little. read more

Huey Magoos - Five tender platter with fries and toast - Chicken Shop Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

See all

Always tasty. Great salads. Specials Monday thru Thursday. Long line in drive thru tells you it's good food.

Very good chicken on a road trip through town. Fries were perfect and we really liked the Magoo sauce- not sure what.it was made of but was very good. read more

Our first visit, the food was hot and delicious! Came out pretty quickly! Staff was very friendly. Nice family feel. We will return!

Chicken so salty I couldn't eat it. Hard to get in to the location. Won't be worth the trouble for a second try.

Service great very fast. Tenders were ok a little heavy handed on salt or seasoning. I love seasoning and salt and this was a bit much for me. The fries were old limp and just not good. I had hopes they would be crispy bc they had color. To be honest crinkle fries aren't my favorite, but in the world of crinkle cut fries these let me down. Over all this isn't a go out of your way gotta have it fast food stop. read more

Huey Magoos - 3 piece meal - Chicken Shop Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

I've been twice. First time we ate inside the restaurant. Food was good. Service lacked. The person at the register was not interested in being there at all, and wasn't super friendly. Second time we used the drive thru, as we were headed somewhere and needed to grab food to eat once we got to our destination (20 minutes away). They got the order incorrect giving me two buffalo wraps instead of plain Magoo Wraps, which I didn't discover till I got to our destination. When I called, the person said I could come back and they would remake my order, or the next time I came in I could eat for free. I was 20 minutes away, and a free meal next time doesn't help me feed my daughter now. When asked if I could just get a refund, she said not with out a receipt. Oh you mean that receipt you didn't give me??? Food is good (which is why the two stars), but service big thumbs down. read more

So salty you can't enjoy your meal. Called the location to tell them and the employee was rude and tried to yell at me. That's what isn't gonna happen. You can keep that crummy chicken. read more

Huey Magoo's came out of nowhere for me. I had never heard of it so I had zero idea what to expect upon arrival. The vibe inside was clean and there was a surprising amount of seats for a place this size. Service was fast and accurate. The food was almost identical to Canes. I say that in a good way. Having this place way closer to my house is a home run when I'm craving chicken. Far better than KFC and Popeyes service is so terrible that I will no longer go there. read more

Tried the Buffalo chicken sandwich. Really good. Chicken was moist and tender. Will definitely be going back.

Today was my first time to Huey Magoos. First, let me say the food was good. Second though, your menu did nothing to help me really understand how to navigate it. I ordered the 4 piece and a buffalo chicken sandwich. I didn't realize they both came with fries so I had a lot of fries, but they were really good. They were hot, the spice level was perfect and they weren't too salty (maybe they're reading their reviews). Secondly, I didn't realize the chicken sandwich was just chicken tenders in a bun and it was very hard to eat without the chicken tenders falling off the sandwich. And lastly, please don't give me a big piece of sourdough looking bread and call it Texas toast with fries and chicken tenders please I would much rather have a drink. read more

Everything about this place (besides the bread) is better than Canes, I don't make the rules ‍

Amazing!! Best chicken tenders in Missouri. I stop by here 3 times a week At least and it's never been less than 5 stars

Very good chicken fresh soft and a lil kick to the sauce but good and seasoned very well ! I have been every Wednesday since they've been open amazing . read more

Took a visit to Springfield and saw a chicken strip joint, not expecting much. I ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich and it was nothing short of exceptional. The fries were nicely seasoned as well (something that Raising Cains does not do) and the sauce was very good (also something Raising Cains does not do) equaling out to be an awesome meal. However, the card reader gave my party members fits, so this left me no choice but to leave a star off an otherwise nearly perfect meal experience. read more

Have tried them twice and loved the food both times. The first time we had the fried tenders and the second visit we had the grilled tenders. Both were super moist and cooked fresh. Sometimes grilled chicken tenders are dry and rubbery at faster food places, but these were moist and really well seasoned. Four stars is only because their younger front of house staff need some training on customer interaction. We were not greeted or spoken to until we initiated a hello and ordering. There was no one in line but us and we stood there for several minutes. Otherwise, good experiences. read more

I don't want to give them any stars. I have a roommate who works for this establishment on Sunshine Street in Springfield and they treat their employees with a lot of disrespect. I went in to eat and the food was cold. Had to stand at the front counter for a while, because the kids were just standing around talking. Do not recommend eating there. read more

I'm actually living close to the business and every day I'm passing through I've get a chicken and fries with coke I'm thankful
