So, have been to the one on Maple several times, but it's a far drive so haven't been there in a couple years. However, I sometimes have to be in north Dallas for business, and this one on Forest is close enough to justify the side trip. I can still say that Mike's has the best damn chicken in DFW. I agree that the sides can be a little underwhelming, and nowadays I usually just grab a couple spicy breasts (yea baby) and sometimes an order of fries (nothing fancy, still good) and forget the plates. But honestly, this is one of those places that you come for the main attraction and if you're counting anything else, well, that's just not right. Yes, you can wait 15 minutes or more when you order at the counter. I've finally come to the point where when my work is done, I borrow someone's computer and order it online, and it's usually ready by the time I get there. This is the way to do it. It's so hot when I pick it up, by the time I get back to my main hub 20-30 minutes later, it's the perfect temp to eat. Don't listen to any Elite types who bad mouth any of the locations. I've never had anything but perfect chicken here. Try it for yourself. read more

Mike's Chicken - Two piece and a biscuit! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Dallas, Texas

It's good chicken, man. The kind of good chicken that makes you stop mid-bite and nod silently at nobody. I kept wondering who Mike was, so I looked it up--turns out Mike's Chicken is Vietnamese-owned, which somehow made me trust the operation even more. Fair warning: when you go, be ready to wait about 20 minutes--or order ahead like someone who values their time. They cook everything to order. I was like, what? In this fast-food age of heat lamps and broken dreams? But the wait is worth it. The chicken comes out fresh and hot as fuck. Crispy, juicy, and clearly made by people who respect the craft. This isn't grab-and-go chicken. This is sit down, shut up, and appreciate chicken. read more

Mike's Chicken - 2 piece leg and thigh, Mac and cheese, baked beans and a honey biscuit - Chicken Shop Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Stumbled across Mike's Chicken and instantly fell in love. The chicken is super flavorful, with a great variety of dipping sauces. Crispy fries, a buttery biscuit, and the coleslaw was interesting but in a good way. It reminded me of an Asian style slaw. I did a little research and found out the owners are Vietnamese, which totally explains some of the unique but really tasty flavors I noticed. Not a big fan of their cream corn, a little too creamy and rich. Their sweet tea is amazing, perfectly sweet and honestly brought a smile to my face. It does take a bit of time since they fry the chicken fresh, but there's plenty of seating and the restaurant is clean. They call out your order number when it's ready, so make sure you're paying attention. The staff is very attentive and thorough, especially when it comes to allergies. Highly recommend!! read more

Ok it's warming up outside and before we begin our errands we needed some fuel. We heard Mike's Chicken is the place for something crispy and delicious. Our server Diana L. greeted us with a warm hello and smile. The atmosphere is all about being comfortable and enjoying some good food while watching some ANIME OR LOCAL NEWS. Overall a great spot for some chicken and gravy. read more

This is how chicken should be. The chicken is crispy and juicy and their mashed potatoes are so good.

Came here on a Friday night and put our orders in right before the rush came. Everything is made to order, so once you place your order you have about a 15 minute wait. Staff is kind and informative. THE FOOD WAS FINGERLICKIN GOOD!!! read more

I've had Mike's Chicken on my list for some time and finally tried it on my third trip to Dallas. I arrived before noon and things were quiet but while eating and as it got closer to noon, it got really busy. My food took about 25 minutes to come out for a 2 piece with corn and coleslaw. Overall, it was tasty, hot, fresh. Loved the chicken and biscuit. Sides were ok. Like that this meal came with two dipping sauces. I can understand the hype. read more

Mike's Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Did not expect this place to be so insanely busy outside of "peak" meal hours, but I soon validated the hype. I kept it simple and got some tenders, and it took probably 20-ish minutes for the food to be ready for pickup at the counter. It took far fewer than 20-ish minutes for me to delete everything on the plate, both because I was starving and it was tasty. The place inside can get a bit chaotic when busy; but there are generally enough tables to handle their turnover speed. Parking can be tricky and they have signs informing customers that neighboring businesses will tow, so just be mindful of that. We found a spot behind the building. read more

I have tried this place out 3 times at this point. I do like the battered crust on the chicken. The chicken is juicy. All ingredients are fresh. The chicken could use more seasoning. Fries are soft on inside and crunchy outside. The Mac and cheese was ok.... Could have more flavor. The cookie stole the show. Excellent!! It was filled with Reese's , moist, good size, gooey and yummy. I would probably go back. It is not most favorite style of chicken but it is worth trying and it is enjoyable.

Rating: 9/10 Date Last Visited: 9/19/2025 I ordered the 3-Piece Dark Fried Chicken ($12.50) with Creamy Corn and Mac & Cheese (+$1). The fried chicken combo comes with your choice of two sides, a biscuit, and sauce. The fried chicken itself was insane - perfectly fried, seasoned with spice, and super juicy. Probably some of the best fried chicken I've had. The sides were quite delicious too - the creamy corn is a must get and a perfect compliment to the chicken. The mac n cheese was good too, but not the best I've had. The biscuit was a bit dry, but still decent. For the price, this is such a good deal. The cashiers are really nice and the restaurant is pretty clean - free water with lemon is offered as well. Overall, I would 100% recommend this place if you enjoy fried chicken. read more

Best chicken in DFW. Skin so crispy. Meat so juicy. They make it fresh so you gotta wait almost 30mins to get your food, but it's worth it. I love the green beans that come as a side. The other sides are fine, nothing spectacular like the chicken. Their specialty sauce is also fine. The chicken is so good that it doesn't need anything else to complement it. read more

Yelp 100 Challenge - #22 This is my second visit to this location and I have been impressed both times. Food is made to order so visit with enough time to wait for your food and enjoy your food. Both times they have been busy but food is fast and people are in an out. You can also place your order online to avoid waiting. The wait is roughly 20 - 30 minutes for bone in chicken and less for tenders. I often order the chicken with two slides and an extra biscuit to enjoy later. Sides range from fries, green beans, baked beans, to mac and cheese. Parking is limited so depending on the time of your visit, you may have to park in the back or near and walk over. Casual ambiance with fast friendly service. read more

Best chicken tenders in Dallas--hands down. I know chicken tenders aren't usually the true test of a fried chicken joint, but these blew me away. I ordered the 4-piece tender, and to my surprise, found a 5th in the box when I got home--an unexpected bonus I was very glad to have. The chicken was perfectly crispy with a well-seasoned coating, while the inside stayed juicy and tender. Each bite had that ideal breading-to-meat ratio. The biscuit was excellent--fluffy, buttery, and with just a hint of sweetness. For sides, I had the green beans and mashed potatoes, both of which hit the spot. If you're craving fried chicken, I can't recommend Mike's Chicken enough. read more

This was my first time coming to Mike's Chicken, and it's seriously so good! I came on a Wednesday around 5:45pm, and the place was nearly full, clearly a local favorite. I ordered the 3 piece chicken tenders meal, which comes with 2 sides, 2 sauces, and a biscuit. For my sides, I opted for the mac and cheese and green beans, and went with Mike's sauce and Mike's buffalo for dipping. The biscuit wasn't as soft as I would've liked, but everything else was very flavorful. Probably the best chicken tenders I've ever had. There's plenty of parking available that's shared with surrounding shops. Overall, I really enjoyed my first experience and would totally come again! read more

Strictly Dumpling reviewed this place on YouTube and he loved it, so I wanted to try the food and 100% worth it! The worker was really nice and she recommended us the half chicken to split between 2 people. We also got creamy corn and mac n cheese as the sides, along with the Mike's signature sauce and honey glazed biscuit. All of this only cost $18, and we were really full after this! The chicken was phenomenal! It was very juicy, tender, and the skin was extremely crispy. It was a tiny bit oily but I didn't really mind. We got the spicy chicken but only the drumstick was spicy, the rest of the chicken was mild. Out of the two sides I got, I liked the creamy corn a lot more since it helped balance out the flavorful chicken. The mac n cheese was okay, nothing too special. And the biscuit was delicious! It was nice and crispy on the outside but not too flaky, and very soft on the inside. The place itself was kept very clean, and there are also a lot of seatings. The wait time was about 15-20 minutes (also depends on what you order) since everything is made fresh to order, but it's really worth the wait. I would 100% come back because it's a really good price for a great amount of food! read more

Well we saw an instagram for this and decided to try it out on my visit to Dallas and it did not disappoint!! Super reasonable prices and takes about 20min to make since it's fried fresh. We got it spicy and it had a good kick to it. Super crispy and juicy! Delicious! I opted for cream corn which I thought was great. The green beans were a little overcooked for me. The pictures others posted looked a little better. My aunt wanted to try mashed potatoes after we ordered so we had to pay the side price. If you add it when you originally ordered, it's only a couple of bucks. Biscuit was soft and fresh as well. Super pleased with chicken and will visit when I'm back in Dallas! Yum! read more

This might be some of the best Fried Chicken in Dallas! We were blown away with how fresh & flavorful everything was. Their sides were all great as well, the Mac n Cheese, Fries, Green Beans, Corn & Biscuits... Everything was on point! Did I mention Spicy Fried Chicken!? I do have to let y'all know, they make their chicken fresh, so don't expect fast food! We waited at least 15 minutes & it was worth the wait. We visited during lunch rush and were lucky enough to find a table right after placing our order. But it got pretty busy just after, so be prepared. They take orders online too... Can't wait to come back and try their Chicken Sandwich read more

Finally was able to try this famous spot! Agree that this is some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. Service was very friendly and I think I prefer the honey mustard sauce than than the Mikes sauce. Portion sizes are really nice and I enjoyed the honey butter biscuit a lot! The dark 3 pc spicy really delivered too! We went on a Saturday evening because I know they are closed on Sundays. Didn't have to wait to order but food did take a while to come out. It was worth the wait! read more

I am allergic to chicken and I risk the itching and take a benadryl to eat here once a month or so. The sides are good, I just hook em up with a little seasoning when I get home. The chicken is PERFECT! Service is always good and it stays pretty clean. I wish that parking lot was larger though, which clearly isn't their fault. You just have to be careful what time of day you go because there are lots of cars at other businesses and the spaces are small. I drive a Honda Accord and my car is barely in the lines. read more

The chicken was delicious, fresh and juicy. I had the 3 piece spicy. Add a jalapeno and mikes sauce! The sides are lackluster - tried the creamed corn, mac and baked beans. All were bland. If you need a side, the fries were good. read more

Trying to find the best chicken tenders and came across Mike's. I ordered 2 servings of the chicken and tenders which came with the green beans, Cole slaw, fries and beans. The tenders itself was nice and light with a thinner batter, similar to cane's tenders but not as flaky. I found this to be delicious and more appealing than other shops that drench the chicken in oil and makes it heavy and greasy. Beans were sweet but not as much as traditional bbq beans which I preferred, Cole slaw was also more milder in flavor, green beans tasted fresh and delicious and the fries were golden and very crispy. The biscuits were also well balanced not dry. My qualm is that I think the chicken could be bigger or come with 1 more piece as they were on the thinner side, but I recommend trying Mike's chicken. Service was timely and restaurant was clean. read more

Very crowded on a Saturday evening , but there is still seatings available. read more

I was craving Mikes the other day so I decided to stop by since I was in the area. I remember Mikes from back in the day when the restaurant was much smaller and there was always a line outside the door! I'm so glad they expanded and the restaurant is much bigger now. I ordered the tenders with a side of corn and mashed potatoes. The sides were good but nothing super amazing. The chicken was very flavorful and the tenders were a pretty good size as well. I also got the buffalo and mikes sauce and they were both flavorful dipping sauces. I definitely recommend trying Mikes out! It's super easy to order online and it doesn't take too long to get your food. read more

Mike's Chicken serves the best fried chicken in the DFW area, beating out the competition. Every time, the chicken is fresh, juicy and perfectly crispy. Their extraordinary pride in their work is undeniably obvious in every bite. Dining here is always a pleasure. The friendly service is a meaningful factor. A welcoming atmosphere makes the frequently lengthy wait worthwhile. It can get busy but the wait is 100% worth it. Mike's exceptionally delicious fried chicken is an absolute must- try for any aficionado of fried chicken. Few other things will compare once you try it. read more

Mike's Chicken - Spicy fried chicken! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Delicious mom-and-pop fried chicken spot in North Dallas! The chicken is fried to perfection with super crispy skin. The meat inside is well cooked and flavorful. The great thing is that you get to choose if you want 2 legs and 1 thigh or 2 thighs and 1 leg for the 3-piece dark. Coleslaw is more on the less creamy side which is my favorite. It's very refreshing with barely any mayo, which helps cut through the richness of the fried chicken. Creamy corn is also not heavy and slightly sweet. Their freshly brewed sweet tea is true Southern style sweet tea that makes your heart happy. Pricing is very affordable - each plate comes with 2 sides, 1 sauce and 1 biscuit and each plate is about $12-15 with $15 is for half chicken. The restaurant is very bright and clean with good country music played in the background. I highly recommend Mike's Chicken to anyone looking for comfort food in the area. read more

Highly recommend placing your order ahead of time as it's about a 25 minutes wait for a couple of dishes. Is it worth it though? YOU BET YOUR FRIED CHICKEN BOTTOM! Whew! The chicken breast plate and tender basket were both incredible. I ordered spicy tenders with mac n cheese and fries. The flavors were perfection. Mac n cheese was just okay but the tender dipped in their Mike's sauce and or ranch was chef's kiss. My husband loved his chicken plate. Everything was piping hot when we made it home 20 min later!! So good. read more

This is my favorite fried chicken spot in DFW. The chicken is cooked to order, so it takes at least 20-25 minutes to get your order. A tip is to order online to save time.

Wow, just Wow. I heard it was good, & my expectations were high. Usually that means disappointment. Not at Mike's! I got the 3-piece dark with mashed & beans & a biscuit, added a breast, spicy style. $20.02 for all that! Incredible value. I had to drive home 35 minutes, so I put the bag in my trunk. When I got home, all was still piping hot (they cook your chicken fresh when you order it.) First thigh bite: Incredible crunch, JUICY JUICY, & the spice hit the spot. I mowed through that first piece, growling & moaning with delight. I normally only eat 1 piece of chicken at a sitting, but I had to go for the leg too. The best chicken I've had since I ate in New Orleans at Willie's Chicken Shack. I'll be going back. Super delicious. I got 3 meals out of that $20.02 read more

Mikes is a Dallas staple with a lot of hype. After my first visit, I'm not sure if it's completely worth the hype, but is definitely very good. I was impressed by the quality of the chicken, the fried batter was great. The seasoning was pretty good as well, though I was hoping for more of a kick. My biggest qualm with Mike's were the sides. I felt that, while they were good, they didn't complement the chicken well, and were not on the same caliber of flavor. The fries were great but the corn lacked the rich creamy feel I was hoping for. The biscuit was decent at best and was not special. The sauces were pretty good, but did not stand out. Overall planning to come back to give it a second rate, but the chicken was a 9/10, fries 7.5/10, corn 7/10 and biscuit 6.5/10. read more

The fried chicken is outstanding--whether you go for spicy or plain. The cream of corn is delightful, and the mac and cheese doesn't disappoint.

Chicken was decently seasoned, moist, and crisp. All the sides were very average 3/5 and nothing to rave about. The biscuit tasted like a premade frozen biscuit you could get from the grocery store. I wouldn't go out of my way for this chicken, but it's decent. They don't serve the orders in exact order of who ordered first. It depends on the sides and mains you ordered. For just this plate we waited 20 minutes and many people after us were served first. read more
