Hate that I have to leave them a bad review. But I order 2 Nashville hot tender and fries. The chicken came out cold and tough. End up finish 1 tender and toss rest away. 2/5 stars If you want really good hot chicken try Dave's Hot Chicken.
Pretty average chicken sandwich. Was not hot at all. They only gave me two options, hot or mild even though the menu showed a hotter option. Typically, hot chicken is a darker color and has more sauce with a deeper flavor. This didn't hit for me. The Mac n cheese is a hard pass. Didn't taste good at all. They don't offer any type of hot sauce so I didn't order the greens. Greens with no hot sauce is like cereal with no milk, I'm good. The fries aren't my style. It's a beer battered fry, I'm a crinkle cut guy. If you like minimal spice and beer battered fries then you might love it. I wouldn't go back though.
Love, love, love this food stand at the Post. There's always a long line, but it's worth the wait. The food comes out fairly quickly and hot. I went with a friend visiting from Portland who wanted to order all the sides. We had ordered a few different things from the other food places in the food court area. Out of the sides, the collard greens were my fave. It wasn't vinegary. The broth it was marinated in was sooo good with the braised meat. It is on the soupier side. The greens weren't bitter. This is the best collard greens I've had. I could've eaten a bowl of this as a soup. The only thing missing is maybe adding some heat as an option. The Nashville hot chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I like how they use a thigh for dark meat. It's so juicy and flavorful. It's also topped with the kale kimchi slaw to add some acidity. The buttered Texas toast is a nice touch but can be difficult to eat since everything falls out. The fries are crispy and seasoned well. Aside from ChopnBlok (my other Post fave), Lea Jane's is definitely a staple when you come here!
The loaded fries are a must try if you come here! Perfectly seasoned crunchy fries smothered in queso, fried chicken bites, caramelized onions and green onions. What more could you want? We got the spicy version, which could've been spicier in my opinion but still delicious. Make sure you get a little of everything in that first bite and WOW there was nothing better than that. Highly recommend these loaded fries! A good appetizer before trying all the other food at POST.
Huge wings with a kick! It's crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The fish sandwich is ok. But compared to other places: One of the better spots in post.
I got the Nashville hot chicken and it was so tasty. The chicken and french fries were super crispy as well as the cole slaw really bringing in all the flavors together. The service was quick and they will give you a text if you provide your phone number so you can continue to walk around and explore POST while the food is being made. There is a lot of seating in POST so it was not difficult finding a spot to sit.
When I visit Post, I typically eat at this place! It's so good! I had the loaded fries this time, usually have the waffle cone fries.
Nut-friendly - no peanut oil, no nuts in anything they serve I believe. Having some options on ordering at Lea Jane's is nice. They have a way to order online, but I just walked up to the counter. The line moved very quickly with about 10 people ahead of me. I ordered the Loaded Fries and got a confirmation text nearly immediately. Another text came about 10 minutes later to notify me that my order was ready to be picked up. A nice system that lets you spend some time ordering elsewhere or fighting to get a table at the overly crowded POST food court on a Saturday afternoon. The Loaded Fries were surprisingly good value for the overall higher priced restaurants at POST. It was shared among three people in my group and everyone felt that it was a nice snack for the afternoon. The chicken was crispy and with a good amount of heat at the "Spicy" level, and the fries had plenty of a cheesy, alfredo-sauce-like gravy and nice garnishes (green onion). Surprisingly, no other condiments seemed available like ketchup, but I didn't feel that they were necessary as the fries themselves had plenty of flavor.
I was looking for the chicken to be a bit more seasoned at the base... there was a bit of spice but not the kind that lingers. The food itself was delivered fast and fresh.
Stopped by POST Houston before going to a concert at 713 Music Hall next door to get some grub. I've been wanting to try Lea Jane's for the longest time and I finally had my chance! Ordered a chicken sandwich and was given two options by the cashier: regular or spicy (the menu shows three levels of heat), and I opted for mild because I had read in one of the reviews that the mild was spicy and I didn't want to deal with all that at the concert. The cashier took my phone number so they could text me when my order was ready to be picked up. I went to get some drink and found a place to sit and a couple of minutes later, I got a text letting me know that my order was ready. Food: good portion of both the sandwich and the fries (came as a combo with the sandwich). I did find, however, that the regular (or mild) was NOT spicy at all. Like, it didn't even have a kick to it. I don't know what the other reviewer was thinking when he said that. It was still good, but I would have liked to have some hotness to my sandwich. Oh well, the more reason for me to go back the next time I'm here.
Tried this place out today. The chicken was pretty good . It had a good crunch and a nice flavor . I ordered a hot flavored chicken and hot chicken tenders basket with fries and a side of macaroni. The portion size was good . The soda was extra expensive ..about 5 bucks for a little bottle . The Mac and cheese was average. It didn't have a lot of layer of seasoning or different cheeses. The chicken was moist but needed a hot sauce and or better dipping sauce . It wasn't spicy . It came with ranch and didn't offer blue cheese. It came with a house made Korean like sauce that was okay. Overall , I gave it a 3 stars because there are other places available that offer hot chicken and wings , I probably wouldn't run to order again . The picture came out great though.
This Lea Jane Hot chicken is located inside of a marketplace, with you need to provide your number so they can text you when your order is ready. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, which comes with pickled slaw, charred onion ranch on white bread with a side of fries. My first recommendation is to roll the sandwich on napkins to it can get less messy while eating it. The sandwich had a good taste the chicken was juicy and well fried but did not have a spicy taste but over all has super delicious and eating was easier because I roll it on the napkins. After eating my recommendation is going to the rooftop of the market which you can see a nice view of Downtown Houston.
Best loaded fries I've ever had!!!! It kinda tasted like truffle oil was used but I didn't see that on the list of ingredients. Whatever sauce they used was so flavorful!! Chicken was good quality, all ingredients were fresh! Order came out in a timely manner. Will return!!

This is a must-stop whenever we're at the Post. There's only one thing we've gotten here but it's so good we just get it again and again and that's the Chicken Waffle Cone! You order at the counter in the food court and they text you when the meals done, so it's made fresh but it's still fast. Now this waffle cone- thin, delicious waffley flavored waffle cone is the blanket that encapsulates the truffle Mac & cheese (chef's kiss), crispy-spicy-juicy pieces of hot chicken, pickled onions, and fresh scallions. Has every flavor profile you're looking for in a HUGE portion. Love everything about this chicken waffle cone. A must try! read more

After walking around the whole vicinity of Post Market I decided on Lea Jane's and ordered the loaded fries with hot chicken pieces. They were ok, not great and not horrible. I was expecting the chicken to be more flavorful but they tasted like normal chicken tenders! I really like the pickled red onions on top and cheese sauce was good. I think if I were to order this again I would have to get "spicy" instead of "mild" chicken. Customer service was great, the lady was friendly. read more

Located in the heart of POST HTX you'll find Lea Janes Hot chicken! With over 15 options to eat from inside the food court this place had the longest line and there is a reason why! The fried chicken tinders were amazing! The line moves fast and you'll be notified via text when your order is ready. Below you will see the loaded fries which comes with queso, green onion, and pieces of fried chicken! Which I will def rate 10/10 and for $10 I def recommend the loaded fries. Great to share for 2-3 persons or 1 super hungry person! read more
I've come to POST quite a few times over the last year, most recently to see the Christmas Lights. Every time I come back I make it a point to try something new, and I do but I always end up getting a Hot Fish Sandwich at Lea Jane's as well. This sandwich is fire!!! I feel kind of atypical for repeatedly ordering a fish sandwich at a Hot Chicken joint but it is what it is. I usually don't repeatedly order the same item when I return to a restaurant, just because I like variety but this sandwich is making me break protocol. I get it as spicy as possible. I love everything about this sandwich. Intense heat on a huge, fried filet of flavorful fish, with pickles and sauce in between two buttery buns. Throw in those crispy, rough cut fries and we got us a delicious meal. Service is always quick and not complicated. The ambiance is typical of POST . Just find a table, pull up a seat and enjoy this huge, hot fish sandwich! read more
If you ever take a stroll into POST food court, you can easily get overwhelmed but if you don't know what to get, why not fried chicken? I've been to many hot chicken places, some are forgettable but Lea Jane's is a winner! I've had the wings before and I loved it, but this time I got the hot chicken tender sandwich with fries. It was excellent. Huge portion of chicken, great tasting sauce with a kick, perfect brioche bun, and the fries- excellent portion and seasoned well. I definitely was full after finishing which is A+ in my books. read more
I came back to try the wings and got a side of macaroni and cheese. Amazing. I had gotten the clucking hot since I've had the hot and spicy and it wasn't super hot and I was feeling adventurous. Clucking hot is hot, not too the point where you'll stop eating the wings but you're nose is gonna run. The wings had a light and crispy batter and it comes hot and fresh on a slice of Texas Toast. It's awesome and when I return hot and spicy will be good enough for me. The mac n cheese was probably the best I've had. I know these are strong words but it's true. The noodles were tender and the cheese sauce had hints of truffle but it wasn't overpowering and it was topped with crushed bits of ritz crackers. The ritz crackers added a buttery crunch which you need for the soft creamy noodles. Everything I've had has been amazing and I can't wait to return. read more
Having been inspired by the upstairs Elite Yelp event, my friends and I ventured downstairs to eat at actual restaurants in the venue. I was not disappointed by the fresh samples they provided upstairs. The chicken here was delicious. Great crunch and not overly salted. Sauces complimented their chicken perfectly. Fish was ok, it wasn't bad but it didn't have the wow factor compared to chicken. I'd eat it again ez, just not together. Get this, its also quite affordable in contrast to a lot of other shops in the vicinity. You wom't regret read more

I came back yesterday - a Saturday at 3:50 PM - to try out more of their menu since that phenomenal Yelp Elite Badge Day event. There was a 10 min wait to order at Lea Jane's - not bad. The 45 min wait to then get the food though came as a nasty surprise, and I wish the cashier had given us a heads up. I'd be fine with the wait if I could have planned for it - conquered the rest of the food court and explored the skylawn more leisurely. If I were to come back, I would probably come on a weekday at an off-hour. We got the Nashville Hot Chicken. The bread is a bit thick and the sandwich is too tall to eat, so we ended up eating with knife and fork. The fries are amazing - crisp, flavorful, and piping hot. The chicken is very well fried, and not that spicy really. I believe it's mostly the chili oil that gives a slight kick - which is the way I like it (not spicy lol). You provide name and phone number when you check out. It does text right as your order is ready. read more

Got the spicy chicken waffle cone, it was amazing! The macaroni and cheese was very cheesy and paired well with the chicken bites that were tender and spicy. The waffle cone was crispy and there was a slight sweetness in it that balanced out the savory flavors of the chicken and mac and cheese. Price was very reasonable for a food hall too! read more

I visited Lea Jane's during a Yelp event six months ago and haven't stopped craving their chicken since. The line wasn't long on a Saturday night although The Post was packed, and the food was ready quickly. My boyfriend and I shared the two piece hot chicken tender basket, and it was more than enough food for both of us, and I don't think our stomachs could have handled anymore spicy anyway. The fries were crispy, and the chicken was juicy. Super yummy. I will definitely be back again. read more

I wouldn't call this hot chicken, the only thing reminiscent of hot chicken is the oil on the bread. While the chicken was juicy, even though all my breading was falling off (asked for no pickles, they just took them off and refried) the flavor was no where near hot chicken, nor was is remotely spicy (I ordered spicy). Mac n cheese was OK. Everything lacked salt read more

Ordered the mild chicken tenders and they're huge!! Juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Not much flavor but it was still very enjoyable. The service was great, friendly, and fast. We asked for a special order and they were able to accommodate without any issues. This place is located inside of Post and there are no seating areas at the restaurant, but there is plenty of seating outside and nearby. It can be a loud and crowded ambiance if the place is packed, but overall a great spot to stop at if you want some good hot chicken. read more

Hi Gregory, thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm sorry that your…
Rating this solely on the chicken My friends and I were visiting in Houston and we had heard about the post market food hall and thought we'd check it out. I saw Lea Janes hot chicken while walking through and saw a huge line and was thinking this has to be good. I got in line and waited for about half an hour in line till I got my food so not terrible of a wait. Let me tell you though it was worth the wait. I'm from Seattle so we don't necessarily have great southern food in the area but some of the best chicken I've ever had! So tender, moist; and so much flavor! I got the mild and it was spicy but was afraid of getting too much heat. Was definitely worth the visit and wish I could go again! read more
