    This is the best fried chicken I have had in a long time! The chicken reminds me a lot of Golden Bird or Mrs. Knott's Fried Chicken (if you're from Southern California you know what I'm talking about). Our food came out fresh and the service was good. The sides were just meh, but I'll definitely be back for the chicken!

    There is definitely a lot of hype about this chicken. When we got there it was packed. They do make chicken by order and the wait was actually shorter that the times on the walls. Even though it was busy, we got our chicken in 15-20 minutes. Tenders and bone in are different. We got two orders of tenders. Breading was flakey and good. I preferred this over the inbone crust. Inbone chicken crust was basically the skin, really crispy and crunchy. But not the best I have to say. Flavor was good but maybe the hype had me expecting something better or different. Pretty basic ambiance. Maybe modern country. But nothing to get excited about. Trash cans were totally full. I am sure the team there is too busy keeping up with orders that the dining area is over looked and ignored. Guests were cleaning spaces to eat. Sides - Mac and cheese were the best. Corn was flavorless. Coleslaw was a vinegar base and not my favorite - huge long cuts of cabbage made it hard to eat as well. The biscuit - overcooked. Yes the chicken is good. But nothing game changing.

    Mike's Chicken is still on point. It had been four years since I last had the pleasure of eating their chicken and it still hits hard. The chicken is seasoned perfectly and it's juicy. I got the three piece dark with fries and macaroni and cheese. It was all delicious. Mike's Chicken is still my favorite place to get fried chicken. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves fried chicken. You won't be disappointed.

    Today I stopped by the Mike's Chicken off of Maple Ave, I normally frequent their other location off Forest Ln. I think this location has more seating and the ordering is the same as well (at counter or through kiosk). Our food came out quick and it was pretty easy to find an empty table. I noticed that the mac and cheese looks different today, I wonder if they changed their recipe. The mac and cheese was creamy and delicious though, I think I prefer this one over the more yellow mac and cheese they had before! As for the chicken, fries, and biscuit, they were good as always. I like how consistent Mike's Chicken is regardless of which location I go to. I like getting the spicy tenders with Mike's buffalo sauce and ranch as my dipping sauces. The buffalo at Mike's is different from your standard buffalo sauce, this one has peanuts in it which surprisingly works. One thing to note about this location is that parking is a bit more difficult here as there's a giant pile randomly in the middle of the parking lot. I think people ended up parking in the mud next to the parking lot.

    Not the biggest fried chicken fan, but the place is super super good. Parking lot is pretty small, but it was still pretty easy to find a spot even during the lunch rush hour. I went in around 12:30 PM and was able to find a table pretty fast, but afterwards there was a long line of people at the register and all the tables were full My meal I got the three piece chicken tenders with a side of mac & cheese and a side of french fries along with one Mike's sauce, and one honey, mustard sauce. The plate also came with a sweetened biscuit that was super super fresh, soft inside, and a little crunchy outside. The tenders were so juicy and so crispy on the outside it was literal perfection. They're also pretty big and very filling. I couldn't even eat all three of them. The mac & cheese was delightful. The flavor was amazing and the cheese was so so good. Would definitely recommend this side despite it's up charge. French fries were also solid. For the prize, this place is really good and they don't talk on hidden fees or additional fees Honestly, what I would recommend for any occasion.

    Mike's is definitely that guy. Fresh, made-to-order chicken that's always hot and crispy. Easily one of the best chicken spots in Dallas. No matter if you order a tender, breast, or thigh, the quality is consistently on point every single time. The sides are solid overall, though the corn is a little bland for my taste. This place is almost always packed, so expect a line and try to order ahead if you can. The walk-up window is perfect for quick to-go pickups. Parking can be a bit tricky during peak hours, but don't let that stop you. Mike's has become one of my go-to quick lunch spots and keeps me coming back.

    This place has some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. My friends took me here after picking me up from Dallas Love-Field for lunch and it was a great way to kick off a weekend in Dallas. The chicken was so crunchy but not greasy, and the sides of the mashed potatoes and creamed corn were delicious. The biscuit was buttery and warm, and my boyfriend also really enjoyed his chicken tenders. Everything was made fresh to order and a lot of locals were here. There's easy free parking and credit cards are accepted.

    Great location off of Maple Ave The service was fast and friendly and the restaurant was very busy. I ordered and had the order in about 10 minutes. The food was fresh and hot and the chicken tenders were very good with the honey mustard sauce and buffalo sauce. I also got the Mac and cheese and green beans and they were equally good. I would recommend this restaurant

    Shame on me -- seriously. There is no single food item I put on a higher pedestal than fried chicken, and yet somehow after a decade of coming to Dallas, I'd never stepped foot inside Mike's Chicken. It's been on my radar forever, but I admittedly let the city's BBQ smoke and burger hype distract me. Rookie mistake. Because after one visit....I'm reevaluating my entire set of priorities. The chicken here is spectacular. Full stop. Yes, they've got sides, and they're fine, but nothing -- absolutely nothing -- holds a candle to the bird itself. You bite in and it's juicy on the inside, but the outside? That breading is on a whole different wavelength. Ultra-crispy, shattering, almost suspiciously perfect. It reminds me of Korean fried chicken... just without the sauce. And it's not all texture either, the chicken is very well seasoned. This feels like a cheat code someone smuggled into Dallas. Easily top three fried chickens I've had anywhere -- and trust me, that is not praise I hand out lightly. 3 starts for the sides, 6 stars for the chicken!

    3 Piece Dark

    Went to Mike's for an early dinner with friends around 11:15 AM and there were still plenty of parking spots, but about 4-5 people already in line and food took another 10-ish to come out. It's casual vibes where you order at the register and they call out numbers, but the restaurant is new, clean, and has plenty of sunlight so it's still a great eating experience. Now for the important part, the food: Mike's Chicken does indeed offer banging fried chicken. I tried the 3 piece dark and the chicken was piping hot, super crunchy, perfectly seasoned, and insanely juicy. The sides ranged from just okay to great. I'd say the seasoned french fries are super solid and the mashed potatoes stole the show with how creamy they were. The coleslaw is a skip and the mac & cheese isn't anything special, but it's the exact manifestation of a childhood macaroni that we all occasionally crave. Same story with the biscuit, not mind blowing, but thoroughly enjoyable. The sauces probably let me down the most. The ranch is a skip and the Mike's Sauce felt under seasoned with everything else that was going on. Gravy was fine, but would probably be my choice to pair with the mashed potatoes.

    Mikes chicken is hands down the best fried chicken in town. The place is out of the way for me but it's really to die for. The food is amazing. The chicken is brined and well seasoned, deep friend to perfection. The baked beans and fries are standard but the star remains the chicken. The place is casual and nothing fancy. You order food at the kiosk or upfront and are given a number, it arrives quick. The place gets packed during peak hours so plan to either come early or little later

    I love fried chicken!! Have I mentioned that before? Not sure why it has such a hold on me, but it's my favorite thing to eat. All versions of it, really. Covered in sauce, crunchy crusted, plain, Korean, Mason TN, Kentucky, especially Popeyes, all of it if I am being honest. Bad fried chicken is better than most good things in my opinion. So when I landed at DAL (Dallas Love Field) the other day, and the closest bookmark was this place, I was pretty fucking stoked. I had not eaten that day because I screwed around and almost missed my flight out of MEM. I was starving but knew I had dinner just a few hours away. I just needed a snack. I walked in and said "I just need a snack" to Asian decent homeboy. Blank stare. Ok. Just realizing I am old as hell and need assistance ordering. Shit. I moved on and ordered like a big boy on my own. It's order at the counter, get hollered at, kind a place. Self serve bevs. Get you own everything. Almost fast food feels, except they say we are not fast food because we take so long stuff around. To the only important things. Chicken was really solid. Crunchy is an understatement. Hot as the damn sun when I got it. Spicy goodness when I finally ate it 10 mins later. Sides were really damn good! Shockingly good if I am being honest. Corn is what corn dreams are made of. Sadly, the biscuit was trash. Dry and of the frozen nature before it was cooked. Shouldn't even be offered and it took away from the chicken points. I would come back in a heartbeat and will look for an excuse to fly into DAL again just to eat this chicken! Side note: stay out of DWF. DAL is a much better experience for real. '25 - 95/111

    Mike's Chicken lives up to the hype. I ordered pickup and got a 2 piece meal (dark meat) with mac & cheese and French fries. Despite sitting for 20 mins during the drive home, the chicken was still perfectly crunchy. The skin was lightly battered, thin, and crispy. The fat was rendered out but the chicken was still moist. The mac & cheese was reminiscent of KFC but more elevated. The French fries were lightly battered and crispy.

The fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned -- hands down some of the best I've had. The deviled eggs were creamy, tangy, and had just the right touch of spice, making them dangerously addictive. Their collard greens were tender and smoky with that perfect Southern flavor, while the black-eyed peas were hearty and seasoned just right. The mac n' cheese was rich, gooey, and ultra-comforting, and the biscuits were fluffy, buttery clouds of heaven. Everything was washed down perfectly with their refreshing sweet tea -- strong, sweet, and exactly what you want with this kind of meal. The portions are generous, the staff is friendly, and the whole vibe feels like home-cooked Southern goodness done at a high level. If you're craving real deal fried chicken with all the fixings, Streets Chicken is an absolute must. I'll definitely be back soon -- and probably often! Highly recommend. 5 stars all the way!

Yes, DFW, Hattie B's has arrived in our region, and the same delicious chicken has come with it. I went in with side eye and doubt and left will a full stomach and a thirst for milk. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - The red neon bars that line the roof act like a beacon leading you straight to Hattie's B. The white building has plenty of parking, outdoor seating, and even cornhole (although it seems misplaced). It's like someone took the Hattie B's in Nashville and imported it straight into Dallas. It's fast casual, so T-shirts and flipflops will fit right in. 1 Star. Service - You get in line, order, get a number, and the friendly staff will bring out our order. On our visit, the staff noticed the line getting long, so they opened up another station and took our order. They were very friendly and extra patient as we looked over the menu. 1 Star. Food - I had the fried chicken sandwich with the Sweet & Smoky Dry Rub and a side of Baked Beans. The chicken was plump, juicy, and easily eclipsed the size of the pillow soft bun. The chicken was piping hot, but the Cole slaw cooled the heat and the bun with Comeback Sauce held it all together. And the Baked Beans were the perfect side. Soft, sweet, and packed with bacon in every bite. But perhaps the best bite I had was the Nashville Hot Chicken Wings that had extra fried craggle to hold the extra heat. It's a slow burn that I countered with Banana Pudding (of course). A fantastic end to a fantastic meal. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. You can customize your sandwich any way you want. I chose Sweet & Smokey, but I'm tempted to try the Southern style (because they're open on Sunday). But those Nashville Hot Chicken Wings will ultimately be the reason I return. 1 Star.
