    Hair in food
    Jenniffer M.

    Literally found a hair in my food :( I was so sad because the place looks good and the service Is also good. I just couldn't get myself to eat after :(((( Maybe next time, but for now, I'll pass.

    Half chicken spicy

    The chicken here is really good. I especially like the spicy version. It's very well seasoned with a lot of flavor. The dipping sauces that come with it taste good also. Parking here is kind of limited for the amount of people coming here. However, there is paid parking in the back. If you are ordering to go it may be best to order ahead. Definitely a must try.

    3 piece dark w/white cheddar mac n cheese and green beans!

    Absolutely fantastic food! Best homestyle fried chicken and sides I've had. We both got the 3 piece dark with mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, cole slaw, and green beans. Honey butter biscuit was delicious as well. Food was hot and fresh - took about 15 minutes to come out and we came during dinner time when they seemed pretty busy around 6:45 pm. Really casual, chill vibes and music playing. My only complaint was that I, unfortunately, did find a small piece of blue/turquoise plastic in my cole slaw. It stuck out to me since it's not a normal food color. I understand accidents happen and I told one of the staff members so hopefully they'll be more careful.

    Food have always hit the spot. Large spacious area. Expect to wait since food is made fresh. Although $13 for 3 piece dark chicken sounds a lot, it does come with 2 sides and a biscuit. Some sides may cost an additional $1, like the Mac and cheese. Parking is sparse!

    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.

    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!

    4 pc tenders with fries and mac and cheese

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Fried chicken, creamed corn, biscuits, and mashed potatoes
    Shanelle S.

    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

It is also disability easy to maneuver if you are in a wheelchair. The interior is small on the inside and nicely decorated with a large ode to chicken. This is not a problem for those who need to bring in a wheelchair, rollater, walker, or stroller as they are impeccablely supportive, as well as very accommodating. On busy days that we have decided to dine in at this establishment, it has never been a problem to manipulate my varied tools throughout the restaurant. Parking sometimes can be a little tight but don't let that worry you because people are always coming and going. For details regarding our most recent meal, please see the following: Appetizer: We order the Deviled Eggs. The eggs were seasoned appropriately and not too salty. Moreover, the eggs were not over cooked and the yolks we nicely whipped. Entry: I order the chicken and waffles while my husband ordered the chicken fried steak. Both were delicious. The chicken was moist and not dry whist the waffle was fluffy with little crispy edges. It was a textural wonderland. I personally do not like syrup or other toppings on my waffles (weird I know) however my husband does and he said the syrup was good. Consequently, when I eat waffles, texture and flavor really matter to me. It was slightly sweet and paired nicely with the seasoned chicken. Additionally, the chicken fried steak melted on our tongues like butter. The meat was not over cooked, tender and the steak cut smoothly on our knives. The umami flavor of the steak and the robust yet well rounded seasoning of the breading paired nicely with the buttery mashed potatoes and the white gravy that accompanied the meal. We have enjoyed eating at this restaurant many times. I have never had overcooked or undercooked chicken. Each time, I am greeted with a kind smile and service is quick especially on busy times. Needless to say that I recommend this restaurant. Yet since this is a review, I will say it. I recommend this restaurant. Happy Eating. Warning: I am not responsible for the overwhelming joy you may or may not experience when eating here.

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.
