    3 piece spicy tenders with french fries & mac and cheese
    Ethan L.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    3 piece dark spicy chicken

    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!

    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 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 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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    3 Piece Dark
    Helen C.

    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.

Most recently, I placed a large online order before they even opened, and they went above and beyond by calling me to personally go over the order, make sure everything was correct, and confirm exactly what I wanted.

And, of course, the food is fantastic. The chicken is juicy, flavorful, and cooked really well. The spicy chicken is especially good--great flavor with just the right amount of heat. Their sides are excellent too, and the mac & cheese is easily one of the better ones I've had. Great food, great service, and a team that genuinely cares about their customers.
