Layne's Chicken Fingers - Great customer service! And fast service Jeff is super friendly and it was a pleasure meeting him! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Houston, Texas

Easy five star review. Edgar is an absolute professional! Priscilla is just as good. I have to give Edgar his props. I received some of the best customer service I've ever received today from a fast food restaurant. Edgar is an absolute pro and very nice. I had a minor issue and he took care of it right away! Top notch professional! Food: the food is simply amazing. My son and I had this about a week ago. This was my first time a week ago, but my son has had plenty of times. I have to say I was blown away with the quality and taste of the food. The spicy and regular chicken tenders are simply amazing.! The honey mustard and the Lane sauce is top-notch. The fries are just as good. Once again, I have to give Edgar his props. He did an amazing job today and I hope management recognizes this young man's great attitude and great detail to service! Thank you, Edgar I'll be back soon 5 star review! read more

As an Aggie I know I should be partial to Laynes (and not Canes), and I am, but I feel like the quality isn't quite what I remember from my college days I can't speak to the cleanliness of the store or the service so to speak, but I had a meal delivered and it took nearly 20-30min for them to say it was ready, and then my delivery took longer than expected to the point that my meal was cold and soggy. I do like how the to-go was packaged with the sauces in a separate container, ketchup, and utensils provided I will say I think Laynes has better flavors both in chicken strips and their sauce. The prices are fairly reasonable when compared to Canes, but I feel you get less in terms of fries and chicken size. I do like that Laynes also offers spicy chicken strips I really do prefer Laynes to Canes as it gives me nostalgia. I am glad there are now a handful of locations popping up all over Houston. Some tips: I would definitely dine in to get more of the experience and to ensure your meal is fresh and hot. Get extra sauces (they are an additional charge), but they're delicious. If you're ever in College Station swing by the original location for the full college vibe and experience Cheers! read more

Layne's Chicken Fingers - Spicy Crispy Chicken Wrap with Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Houston, Texas

I dropped by Layne's recently with a mobile order and had a pretty rough experience with the customer service. Layne's hadn't started making the order until I arrived, which made the mobile order process seem pointless. I got the food, headed home, and realized I'd received someone else's order -- a very obscure order, at that. Understanding that things happen, I went back onto the mobile order platform, and logged a concern about the order. The platform said I would hear from someone in the next few business days. A week later, I hadn't heard from anyone. With no luck there, I reached out to the restaurant through their Instagram account. I received a response, asking me to send an email to someone at the Houston franchisee. I sent the email nearly a month ago and never heard back. Really disappointed that they are either too disorganized to stand behind their customer experience, or just don't care, when they've pointed me to two channels and haven't responded on either. I'm probably done with Layne's for now. read more

Food was okay. Canes sauce still seems better. Fries are okay. People were polite enough for a drive through. I thought it was strange to have a 20% tip recommendation for a fast food restaurant. read more

I ordered a plate of chicken fingers with sauce, toast, and a drink, and I was honestly shocked by how good it was. The prices were great, and the food was amazing. I had it delivered through DoorDash, and even then, everything was still fresh and exceeded my expectations. Definitely impressed and will be ordering again! read more

Layne's Chicken Fingers - Chicken Finger - Chicken Shop Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've always passed Layne's and told my self I would have to try it! Service was nice through the drive thru, easy ordering. Also, price was cheaper, if not comparable to Cane's. The things I didn't like about this meal would have to be some aspects of the chicken tenders. They were super small. I could understand if one was small but every single one was little. My bf also got a combo and his tenders varied in size. Also, the breading was a little chewy for some reason. The chicken itself tasted good and the fries/sauce/bread were all good as well. Overall I would definitely come again if I was in the area! read more

Go ahead and add Layne's to your list of top chicken finger joints in Houston. We tried the spicy and regular 5 piece tender baskets which came with fries and Texas toast and your choice of dipping sauces (try the Layne's sauce and jalapeno ranch ). Both flavors were juicy and seasoned well and the spicy had just the right amount of kick to it. The milkshakes were also a great sweet treat to compliment the meal, we had the strawberry and (my favorite) salted caramel read more

It may look good but honestly it's a cheap copy of raising canes . Actually it's worse than canes . The food here is decent but the chicken is soggy and wet and gross and mushy . The fries here are soggy AF and the bread isn't anything special. The staff here take forever to get you your super over priced basket of chicken which you pay $30 for . Overall it's pretty crappy chicken that's not worth the price . read more

Fingers were juicy and had great flavor. Really like the Layne's Sauce to complement the fingers. Fries were better than average in both thickness and flavor. Texas toast was great too. Service was fast and courteous. Nice background music. read more

A lot of my friends have been raving about Layne's so I had to give it a shot! I tried their 5 finger combo and I liked that they had a spicy option. The tenders were seasoned pretty well (not very spicy), though I do wish the breading was a bit crispier. I loved the variety of sauces you could choose from; I'm a big sauce guy. I tried the jalapeño ranch and it was creamy and savory. The crinkle cut fries were nothing to write home about. The toast was very plain too. I do think Layne's is better than Cane's though because of the sauces and seasoning of their chicken. read more

Layne's Chicken Fingers - The 5 Finger Original (Spicy) - Chicken Shop Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'll say this first, yes- this is better than Canes. I love that it has a spicy option. The breading is crispy, the meat it juicy, the sauce is peppery, and the fries are crispy as well My only knock is the staff wasn't the most friendly, and there was an awkward iPad screen in the front window, it doesn't take payment, it only serves as a place for you to tip. I found it a turn-off. It's a fast food place, why would they a want to do that in a drive through? read more

Food is always quick and super fresh. Jeff is very nice and the inside is very clean.

Surprisingly pretty good. The tenders where well season, and the fries crispy. Service was also pretty fast. Seating can be a problem depending on what time you go. read more

Ordered the spicy 3 finger meal which came out really fast and also really hot! The chicken wasn't spicy, but was still yummy, and was on the juicier/more tender side of chicken places I've tried!! (I just wish that the pieces were bigger). The toast was also very nicely buttered, and the fries were decent/came with a good amount! read more

College Station Classic conveniently in Houston now. It's not quite as good as you probably remember but it's still better than Cane's. Service was quick but it's lacking that hole in the wall ambience of the original location. read more

Mr.A, and Mr. Jeff are always welcoming , food is always good baby thank you for good customer service!

Got the 3 meal combo regular because im not into spicy. Was good flavor wise however one of the chicken pieces was so small! Also i got a coke but they gave me diet. read more

i was pretty impressed ngl. i am blessed and accustomed to high quality chicken, and for this type of restaurant and prices the food and especially the chicken was so so good. The fries were slightly crispythe potato salad was flavorful w a good textureThe sauces all had a little kick it was the middle of the night and it was one of the places that were open so i thought id try. the workers were nice as well. will return in the future ! read more

I was bummed to have missed the Grand Opening Saturday but got there as soon as I could! This location is tight - but it was when it was a chicken place before - and Layne's engineered the Shepherd side entrance and exit with raised curbs to clearly define the entrance and exit. With signage. Great job! I love that they use paperboard boxes and paper cups, and i ordered a spicy four finger meal like I had before at another location. The spice is bold enough to make you notice it and make my nose run a bit, but not so overpowering I can't eat it. I stick with the classic cream gravy and everything today was perfect. Tender fresh juicy tenders straight out the grease, and crinkly cur fries that have a soft creamy interior and mega crunch exterior - and the toast was perfectly griddled I used half my gravy on it. There were no pics because drive through and tbh it was too good to wait. They serve Coke products and the staff was friendly and I waited at the window less than 5 minutes after placing my order. This place will be getting a ton of my business for lunch!! read more

The grossest chicken I've ever had. Ordered to go and ate it before I started packing for a trip. I got the chicken meal with the bread and sauce. The sauce is trash. The chicken seemed so fake.. tasted weird and pulled apart weird. Within an hr I was throwing up all of it. It felt so heavy and greasy. I know people complain about canes chicken but I rather there chicken. read more

Canes vs Laynes yall lost. BUT it was still some good chicken mayneee. The spicy tenders are my favorite from this establishment. The laynes sauce is more peppery and has a cajun undertone. The white gravy had almost no flavor tho? The fries were good. Not bad. Crispy and not too salty. The toast is just texas toast ya know! Still buttery tho Service was great! Fast. Polite. Clean bathrooms! My friend had told me they should "add"? rooftop seating because its such a small restaurant lol. Thought id add that to the review. Not to be taken seriously :) -Santangelo Balli Gonzales read more

My family is composed of several beings, 2 of which are chicken finger monsters. I, on occasion, enjoy a finger or two or three. Naturally, in this neck of Houston, you have several options - Mia's Table, Cane's, Southern Yankee Crafthouse - to name a few. The building is a brand spanking new, I walked inside, new space, a clean atmosphere, workers working, and people inside eating. Service was prompt, and ordered to go. My first-ever order here at Layne's establishment - 3 finger combo - comes with 2 regular and one spicy, fries, buttered toast, and a drink. It was great to be able to mix and match the chicken finger type( reg vs spicy) My soft drink was obtained from the fountain dispenser thing - got a root beer that tasted off - maybe the machine was too clean, or maybe people don't like rootbeer. The aftertaste was chlorine -ish? The food: The food was hot! The regular chicken was delicious, hot, and steaming, with what tasted and looked like real chicken. Breading was light and crunchy. My chicken finger connoisseurs (8 - 12 yo ) felt that the chicken fingers were amazing, and rivaled any other establishment. I was asked to trek back and get more.. The spicy finger was actionable. It was a nice change, with more of a flavor profile of peppery spiciness. Kids loved those too. Probably on the spicy scale of mild to medium hotness. The fries were good, and the bread was bread. If the root beer had tasted like rootbeer from a can - I would have given this fine establishment a 5/5 Well, I guess this gives it a chance to improve! All in all, if you are a chicken finger addict or a dabbler of this food source. Laynes is worth a stop or two! read more

My husband and I went to A&M so we were so excited to see that Layne's was opening up in our neighborhood! It's such a classic place so we had to try. The food here is pricier than it was in college station 6 years ago - but that's understandable being it's in inner city Houston! The food did not disappoint. To me - Layne's always has had better and crispier fries, great toast, and peppery sauce that I love. The spicy chicken tender option I enjoyed a lot! New and different from college station but hit a spot of nostalgia. The service was nice! They always greeted us with smiling faces, told us to have a good day, and the manager came by twice to ensure we were doing well. read more

Terrible and slow service. Clueless unprofessional staff. Just a dirty knockoff of caines

Foods good and all that but be careful of the workers they self tip in the drive thru my total was 15.14 and they did the tip after I left.

i've been eyeing this specific layne's location and it's finally open! there's a drive thru available, but the parking is a bit tight. inside, the space is small with a few tables for dine-in. we ordered two 4 finger meals. each meal includes a drink but we upgraded one of the meals to a strawberry shake. our order came out in a timely manner. the fingers were fresh and crispy and so delicious with the sauces! the laynes sauce is definitely a must-try! what we got: - 4 finger meal (spicy) with laynes sauce - 4 finger meal (original) with jalapeño ranch - strawberry shake ig: @whatsviveating read more

Whack. Asked for spicy, got regular. The chicken was tough and the fries were artificially crunchy. The sauce is watery, too. It's a shame because Raising Canes is going downhill, too. read more

First time here, spicy tenders were good. Mory's costumer service was great. Food is way better than cane's.

The food is great better than raising canes I'd say . Highly recommended new spot to try vs all the other chicken places the sandwiches are fresh and full of flavor . The ambiance I never go inside service is quick definitely check it out . read more

I actually enjoyed the food a bit better than Cane's. Spicy or regular tenders. I opted for spicy and they were great. The breading doesn't slide off like at Canes. Crinkle fries were a bit crispier as well and tasted great The Texas Toast was a full-size piece of bread instead of the smaller oval shaped The only negative for me was the sauce. It's close to Cane's but had a definite processed mayonnaise tang that was too strong. They have several options available including cream gravy, ranch, jalapeno ranch, & honey mustard. The offer fresh lemonade here AND they have milkshakes. Salted Caramel. Yum! They offer a couple of different chicken sandwich options including a Club, Grilled chicken Wrap, and a grilled cheese. Potato salad is also available I was actually headed to Raising Canes when I happened by this place. Looks like a worthy competitor. Sure, they're a blatant copycat that answers some of the wishes about Cane's many of us may have had. A note about the interior, it's a bit bland/stark but I'm sure as the place grows that will be addressed. The staff was helpful, but obviously the overall workflow here isn't as professionally tweaked as their much larger competitor. Hopefully they'll survive. I enjoyed it. read more

Visited Houston and thought my food reviewing was over after coming into contact with a "S&!# BIRRIA . I then decided to give Houston another chance via DoorDash and try this place . Man was i missing out ! Absolutely delicious food! It's like cane's older brother LAYNE, the Layne sauce was perfected ! Strips were PERFECTLY FRIED AND SEASONED and fries were even seasoned and crispy! I'm disappointed a place like this doesn't exist in Belton but this gives me all the reason to come back to Houston . Service id have to assume was great , as well as ambiance. I can just say for certain the food was 2 thumbs and a big toe up! read more

First time experience was average... asked for gravy sauce to keep it safe but did ask to try to laynes sauce with meal. Food was okay, just your average chicken and fries, only got the gravy so i have no idea what the laynes sauce taste like, my husband stated the food taste just like gas station food so over all its just another chicken place.!! read more

I saw the building and thought that this was a spoof of the other chicken tender place. lol. I actually like this place better. It's the same menu. They make more sauces from "scratch" I guess here. The honey mustard was really good. I would definitely try this one again. read more

After waiting and waiting and waiting for almost forever we were greeted and told that they would be with us shortly. I know it was Memorial Day Monday and that this location actually busy for a change because Raising Cane's was closed but waiting for this long for a fast food restaurant sort of defeats the purpose of getting fast food. At the rate the employees were working trying to finish up one large order instead of trying to work in an organized manner, we found it best to leave and go to the Ella location. This Layne's location is just not it. read more

Mariana took my order she it's so polite thanks guys, the food it's great fresh and hot simply delicious
