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!
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.
I got the 3 piece spicy tenders with french fries and mac and cheese. I wish the chicken had a stronger kick of spice but it was still delicious. The mac and cheese was good and worth the additional dollar charge. I also liked how the biscuit was super soft and not dry. The Mike Sauce and Honey Mustard complimented the chicken and fries well so I'd recommend those. I went during peak lunch hours and it was super busy. Despite that, I got my food quickly along with it being fairly spacious so there were many tables available to sit at. The parking lot is small though so I'd recommend carpooling if possible! read more

Mike's Chicken in Oak Lawn lives up to every bit of its hype--this is hands down the best fried chicken I've had in Dallas, and it's easily one of the top spots in the entire city. I'd heard rave reviews from food YouTuber Mikey Chen and countless locals, so I finally stopped by, and wow, it exceeded every single expectation. I ordered their signature fried chicken sandwich, and it was a masterpiece. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, with a crunchy, flavorful crust that stayed crisp from the first bite to the last, no sogginess at all. The meat was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, stacked high on a soft, buttery brioche bun that complemented the chicken perfectly. The portion size is massive, making it an incredible value for the price ($$). The vibe is casual and no-fuss, with a clean, welcoming space and friendly, efficient staff that gets your order out fast, even when there's a line. They're open until 8 PM, so it's perfect for lunch, dinner, or a late afternoon snack. It's no surprise this place has 1.9k reviews and a 4.5-star rating--every single customer is here for the same reason: that perfect, iconic fried chicken. If you're in Oak Lawn or anywhere in Dallas and craving fried chicken, Mike's Chicken is non-negotiable. This is the kind of spot that makes you want to come back every single week, and it's easily become my new go-to for the best chicken sandwich in town. I can't recommend it enough! read more

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.

Mike's Chicken = Good! I tried the BREAST + WING combo with 2 sides, a biscuit, and MIKE'S SAUCE and WOW! The chicken was fresh, juicy, and full of flavor, and that sauce? Tangy, peppery, salty... all in one delicious dip. The sides weren't my favorite this time green beans were crisp (I prefer softer), and the fries were plain, but ketchup helped. Sweet tea was refreshing and paired perfectly. The place was packed, so it's obvious Mike's Chicken is a fan favorite. I'll be back to try a different side combo next time! read more
Impeccably done fried chicken right here. I haven't been to the Oak Lawn location in a minute. Looks like they renovated the interior to create more space. We arrived just after opening time and the seats were already packed with eager customers. Parking can be a bit tight. It seems everyone is a regular here so folks try to clear out quickly. The dark chicken plate is the one. Spicy tenders if you're wanting something easy. All around great chicken! read more
For the people that didn't know, Mike's Chicken is actually fried chicken made by Vietnamese people and it's my FAVORITE fried chicken in DFW. I usually get the tenders but I have tried their regular chicken as well and they're both fantastic! The tenders are very flavorful and moist. They go perfectly with the gravy (it's what I always pick for the dipping sauce). My side of choice is the green beans. It's nothing special, I just like it. Since they cook your food when you place the order, it might take some extra time for the chicken to come out. I usually get takeout at Mike's so I place the order online and pick it up 15-20mins later. The parking lot can get a little tight as well during heavy business hours. read more
The chicken itself was superb, as was the dallop of gravy, the fries, and the sweet parts on top of the biscuits. The corn was less creamy and watered down than we liked. You know who the regulars are by their pick-up process. There's a walk-up window so you don't even have to go into the deafening music level inside, but there should truly be a drive-thru, considering how tight the parking is. Kids approved and our whole family was better fed than if we had spent the $40 on hotel food. read more

Food was AMAZING. Best fried chicken place in all of Dallas IMHO. Loveeeee the chicken tenders + Mac n cheese is so good + creamy corn is so yummy. My boyfriend got the baked beans + fries, and I was also stealing those off his plate. So delicious!!!!!! And very reasonably priced too. $13 for this whole plate with chicken, two sides, biscuit & sauce. read more
This is a real deal fried chicken joint!!! We stopped here for lunch before heading to the airport. We ordered at the counter and guy could tell instantly that we weren't from the area. The place was packed but somehow they managed to keep the restaurant clean. The chicken was fried to perfection and seasoned extremely well. I'm upset with myself for not ordering more! Overall it was a great experience and I suggest you put this on your must try list when you're in Dallas. read more

Best fried chicken ever! Gave this place a try because of food YouTuber Mikey Chen. Man oh man was that a great decision. The chicken is very flavorful, moist and the perfect amount of breading. I recommend getting it spicy. Their sides are great with their biscuits being noticeably moist and never dry. Their buffalo sauce is also slightly peanuty. We would routinely do weekend trips in Dallas from Austin, mainly for this chicken. There's a viral video of a guy eating the chicken in a car, crying because it's so good. Would give a million stars if I could. read more

This is easily some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. The meat is incredibly juicy, and the skin has that perfect, shattering crispiness. It's clearly a local staple because I've never seen a day where they aren't busy. While there is plenty of seating, the dining room fills up fast. Definitely order ahead! They fry everything to order, which makes the food amazing, but it means a bit of a wait if you just walk in. read more
Got there 10 mins before opening on a Thursday. There was 2 people waiting. As soon as they opening people start lining up and it's non stop from there They have the crispiest chicken I've ever head. Not just crispy but juicy and delicious. It takes a while since they fry to order but it's totally worth the wait. Biscuits are soft and flaky. Sides and sauces are great but it's all about the chicken here. Tenders are good but you need to get the bone in chicken. Good amount of seating inside but you need to get there before opening. Probably one of the best fried chicken experience. Highly recommend. read more
I have been here over 20+ times and consider myself a mikes chicken expert. Their chicken is best eaten with mikes hot honey (don't have here. I buy my own). Chicken still good after all these years. Their sides needs seasoning. I only recommend baked beans and creamy corn, the only two sides with flavor. Their green beans are bland. Fries are previously frozen and not even the good fries. Mash potato is ok. Mac and cheese is the worst thing to get here. I do not like their Mac and cheese. They're always so damn busy fyi. Expect 20-30 mins wait during lunch rush read more

this place is so good. first time having it and was blown away by everything. the food is amazing. the 3 piece tender meal i got was so so tasty. tenders were juicy inside but crisp on the outer layer. biscuit was big and soft. fries were great. the mac and cheese was so gooey and good. full of goodness. service is amazing. super efficient. did not take long to wait in line or wait for my food. i think i waited only like 4 minutes. honestly, this place deserves a bigger space! parking is also pretty decent with a lot. read more
We ordered a 3 pieces of the dark meat (legs and thighs), with coleslaw and Mac & cheese as the sides. The fried chicken pieces were crispy and flavorful. The meat was juicy and tender. The sides were okay, nothing to rave about. The ambience was causal with plenty of seatings, and customer service was fast. Overall, it's more of a 3.5/5 but I'll round it up to a 4/5. Food 4/5 Ambiance 3/5 Customer service 3/5 read more
Definitely can see why it's considered some of the best chicken in Dallas, with an amazing crisp and texture. The fries were also delicious and crispy. The only cons was that the mac and cheese was bland and the Mike's sauce had a very overpowering flavor and so did the buffalo sauce. The good news is the fries and chicken were so good it didn't need any sauces. A bit of wait but they cook to order and 100% worth it! read more
As my daughter would say, good eats!! Apparently, my friends have been keeping this place to themselves. We were in the area and they suggested we go. It's my first time, and I'm a fan. I got the 2 breast's and wing plate with beans and corn. It also comes with a biscuit. Everything delish. There were quite a few people inside so I would suggest if you're getting it to go to order ahead. It took about 20 min for our food. Everyone looked to be enjoying their food that were seated inside. It's not a very big place but there is seating inside. read more
I used to live in Dallas but haven't had the chance to go back in a few years. One of my must haves though was to go to Mikes Chicken. This is easily my fave chicken place quite possibly of all time. I've literally never had a bad meal there. Whether you live in Dallas or are just visiting this is a MUST read more
MIKE'S CHICKEN makes it a point to say that they are not a fast food restaurant, which, as you can guess, has pros and cons. Pro: The food is made to order Com: It will not be fast. I would say this is casual dining. Guys, MIKE'S CHICKEN is one of the best fried chickens out there... and for a more affordable price too. Crispy on the outside, fully cooked, not greasy, wonderfully seasoned. The biscuits are fluffy on the inside and crusty on the outside... and it has some sort of glaze too. Yummy! The chicken strips are also great. The fries are good too, but seriously, I would seriously rather get the biscuits. The creamed corn is also very good. But seriously, get the biscuits. There is going to be a bit of a wait so don't come hungry -- come before you get to the "hangry" stage. Unsweetened iced tea is great. Sweetened is even better. They have this powder spice you can sprinkle over everything for extra flavor. There is a lot of parking spaces. read more

I looked forward to eating Mike's chicken just after 7pm Tuesday evening well in advance of their 8 pm closing time. There was a line as usual and I waited patiently - as usual... I get my food and take it to my car (as usual) and couldn't wait to dig in. I looked at what was in my tray and had doubts about what I saw... 3 TINY pieces of chicken (not what I have come accustomed to being served here) and some of the piece's seemed greasy. You see... I ordered the 3 piece mixed with green beans and fries and never had I received an order that looked like this. I first picked at sone fries... they tasted normal to what I have received before. I tried some green beans, but they were flavorless, cold thus rigid - no bueno. I now came to the chicken ... I am accustomed to waiting a few minutes because the chicken has always been piping HOT. The first piece I go for is the leg... the thing is... this leg may have been a little larger than a WING STOP drumstick... not only that, but it was very fibrous and tough (grissely) and had very little meat and ZERO flavor. The next 2 piece's were piping hot, but very greasy... The spiciness was there, but way too greasy. The third piece was similar... not only that, but both of these thighs smaller than I'm accustomed to receiving at Mikes... Each thigh was equivalent to maybe two little wings you'd get at WING STOP... So here's what I received: Cold rigid room temp green beans. 1 dried-up WING STOP sized drumstick. 2 smallish piping hot greasy thighs. Descent fries. I had in the past gone for lunch... never before just before closing - I'll never will make that mistake again. Needless to say that I'm very disappointed at the results of this visit. read more
Tenders better than Canes! And fried chicken better than Gus. The tenders are very juicy and the spicy ones are really good. They have a variety of sauces, the mikes sauce is similar to canes sauce and I enjoyed the gravy. The chicken is also super juicy, once again the spicy is where it's at. My only complaint were the sides. They were just okay. We liked the creamed corn and fries the best. The mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were very disappointing. Order ahead of time as the wait is no joke. They allow to order online. read more

I'm basically a regular at Mike's Chicken at this point, and for good reason. They have some of the best fried chicken in Dallas -- perfectly crispy, juicy, and always fresh. The fries and biscuits are my go-to (so good!), though I'll admit I'm not a fan of the mac and cheese. The service is consistently great, and the music they play makes the atmosphere even better. Definitely one of my top recommendations when people ask where to get fried chicken in Dallas! read more
I love fried chicken and know a thing or two about good fried chicken and this place has it in spades. So you walk in and they take your order at the counter quickly, even if there's a crowd there they move fast. Then you have to wait for a few minutes for your food. But they warn you with signs that say it's not a fast food restaurant and your chicken is cooked to order. Trust me, it's worth the wait. The dining room is clean and no frills. I ordered 2 piece dark (thigh and leg) and an extra tender on the side, spicy. Man it was so good. The skin on the chicken was the perfect crispness, the chicken itself had a perfect level of spice and the as so juicy. The tender was good sized and I ordered buffalo sauce on the side for dipping and it was fantastic. It was fantastic chicken. I got the mac n cheese and fries as sides. Mac n cheese is made with Gruyère so it's creamy and really yummy. Fries were pretty standard French fries also fried to perfection. I don't live in Dallas, but Mike's makes me want to drive over there more frequently! read more

no delivery option.
Is there dairy (buttermilk, cream, milk, etc.) in the chicken batter?

Can I bring my dog?-It says yes on yelp but just making sure?
No, dogs are not allowed.
Is anything outside of the chicken and fries cooked in peanut oil? I have an allergy and need to be sure.
Probably not. All of the chicken and whatnot are fried, and I'm not sure what they use to cook the sides in and may be cross contaminated with the peanut oil.… Read more
