First time here and it didn't disappoint. I ordered catfish with Brussels sprouts and corn on a cob. We also rested chicken wrap and chicken tenders and tater tots. The tater tots were so good--crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can order food at your table or through the register. Ambience was a bit loud but it's expected during a busy lunch time. We would try it again. I guess Guy Fiery featured this at one of his shows. read more

After I heard about this Hot Chicken place I had to come try it. It's definitely not what I thought it would be. The tenders are dry and the breeding is just not what I expected compared to other hot chicken places.. I ordered the Nashville Hot flavor with Mac and cheese and tater tots. My sister ordered the salad and it was just your average salad with chicken. Nothing too special! The Mac was not bad but I think it can be better. You can't go wrong with the tater tots. There is actually no service there as you can just go ahead and grab a table and place your order on the QR code and they just bring you the food to your table. The place itself has a great ambience with a great outdoor for families. read more

For awareness, I doordashed this. I was super excited to try their Mac n cheese based off the pictures from reviews and their website but it did not live up to my expectations. It tasted just like kfc mac n cheese. Not that anything is wrong with kfc mac n cheese this just wasn't what I was expecting and expected better. The Caesar wrap was just okay. I did appreciate the amount of chicken but I barely tasted any Caesar. I felt like I was just eating a chicken wrap. read more

They have a nice patio and inside seating. When we walked in there was no line and the customer service was very friendly. I came for the fried shrimp and thought it was nice and crispy, but probably not worth the $19. read more

The absolute best Nashville hot chicken place in Dallas. Chicken is incredible. Sides are great. Highly recommend tots over the fries in my opinion. Their chicken sandwich and catfish are also very good. Staff is amazing. Some of the nicest people you'll meet. Daily specials are some of the best in the city. Highly recommend. read more

Ate at this place tonight for the first time ordered the big white, it was not white. It was gray and dark and I'm sorry that I ate any of it!

The Nashville spice level is good here, unlike some Nashville hot is so spicy it's almost intolerable. They also have some good daily specials. Come check this place out! read more

TikTok did it again. There's an influencer by the name of Olivia Culver who was singing high praises about the Chicken Caesar salad wrap (and from the video it did look delicious) so I stopped by yesterday to try them. When you get into the parking lot you'll notice Palmer's is surrounded by a lot of new, trendy retail shops and food spots. It's really close to a grocery store & is only minutes from NorthPark, Greenville Ave etc so you could really make it an all day affair. What's cool is Palmer's has plenty of options for seating, catering to those who love a view and want to sit outside but also has plenty of room inside for those who prefer a more intimate feel. The decorations are modern but eye catching (and picture worthy lol) without being overstimulating. When it comes to the food.....deep sigh. I ordered the fried chicken caesar salad wrap w/regular fries. I would've ordered the cheese fries Olivia had in her video but because I ordered to go I opted out. Since I've never been to a hot chicken spot I also wanted to try and got their infamous Nashville hot chicken. In total I spent $22. When the order came out and I opened the boxes everything looked mouth watering good. However, I will say the wrap was over stuffed with lettuce & had the smallest amount of caesar dressing so overall was underwhelming and dry. Whenever you make a wrap of any sort you need something to serve as a binder (cheese, sauce etc) to keep it from falling apart, but as you'll see in my pics and videos there was none of that so it turned into a salad after two bites. It's just wild because not even two weeks ago I had a grilled chicken caesar wrap from AMC Mesquite, and was surprised at how good that was for theatre food, so imagine my surprise when I thought I was going to get something 10x better and it fell flat. Anyway I tried to let it go because I had also ordered the Nashville hot chicken & surely Palmer's would redeem themselves through their signature item, but I'm more than certain they were using old grease as that's all I could taste when I bit into it. I still tried to eat it as I don't like wasting food or money, but it just wasn't agreeing with me. The hard lesson I learned is sometimes what looks good can still be misleading & no two people have the same palate, but experiences like these are part of the process of trying new places to find the next best bite. Best of luck on your visit! read more

I've been here twice and both times the food has been "ok" at best, mediocre would be a better way to describe it. Service is okay given that you order at the table via your phone. read more

Not going to mince words here. This chicken is fantastic. I'd go back every day of the week if it was healthier and I lived close. Unfortunately, it's not the healthiest meal and I don't live close. When you enter, you wait in a line to order at the counter, and then take a number and sit down where they bring you your food. Tenders, wings, doesn't matter. It's worth your time. It's worth your commute. It's worth the calories. Go now, before you change your mind. read more

Overall thoughts: beautiful ambiance and delicious food The interior is very trendy and warm. The enclosed patio had 2 TVs playing sports (Dallas Cowboys game playing), and plenty of seating. There was a celebration going on there when we visited. Play area for the kids/adults (jumbo jenga, cornhole, jumbo connect 4) The food was amazing! The service is counter order, and an employee will bring the food to you when it is ready. I ordered the Sunday special, which was fried chicken, 2 sides, and a drink. I ordered the "novice" spice level, with dark meat. My 2 sides were tots and Mac and cheese. The "novice" spice was not spicy, but had a good kick and flavor to it. Chicken was breaded and fried to perfection. This place is a gem! read more

The restaurant is very trendy. There is a large indoor dining area with a full bar (2 TVs playing sports) and counter service order. The entrance has an enclosed patio. The patio had 2 TVs playing sports, and plenty of seating for those who would like to sit in the area with the patio windows open. I had the catfish which was bland . You could tell the flour didn't have any seasoning in it and fish wasn't seasoned either. Do yourself a favor and try the collard greens! The greens were very good. The portion is more than enough.. I will be back to try the hot chicken. read more

Palmer's Hot Chicken - Southern Near Me - Garland, Texas

Palmer's is always a great place to come to anytime but on a Friday night, they weren't extremely packed and we were able to order and find seating right away. Their chicken is always fresh and delicious and served piping hot and I'm not just talking about the spice. I got the three piece jumbo chicken tender combo, Nashville spice level and for my sides I got the collard greens and pimento cheese grits. The first thing I dug into were those grits and they are so creamy and good, that pimento cheese gives them such a wonderful sharp cheddar cheese flavor and they are perfectly salted. The chicken tenders are huge, freshly made and super juicy, the Nashville spice level is perfect because you get some really good heat but not to the point to where it burns your stomach. I got my tender so plenty of ranch to cool down the heat and the ranch dressing is also really delicious as well. The collard greens were pretty good, they are a little bit sweeter than I care for them to be but it was not a deal-breaker, they are still good overall and not so sweet to where they were inedible. Overall, I highly recommend Palmer's hot chicken for a casual night out or anytime really! read more

Palmer's Hot Chicken - Three jumbo chicken finger combo with collard greens and pimento cheese grits - Southern Near Me - Garland, Texas

Palmer's - Hot Chicken, Catfish and Shrimp at 6465 E Mockingbird Ln #316, Dallas, TX 75214 First nice little family atmosphere to enjoy food and they have a semi outdoor patio. The food was pretty tasty the service was good the ladies up front are working way too hard I hope they literally getting paid with their worth. I would like to come back here and sit down inside the restaurant at a later point probably when it's a little cooler outside. Seems to come from a rich history just by analyzing the stuff on the wall. I did a little research below for some interesting reading. This was interesting researching the person on the wall who is their patron saint of Nashville hot chicken Tennessee tastemaker James Thornton Prince was living proof. A legendary local lothario in early 20th-century Nashville, Prince possessed an appetite for fried chicken and the ladies. His passions have made him a legend in American culinary circles. Prince is the king of Nashville hot chicken. read more

Absolutely loved their selection! The dark meat entree is HUGE. For some reason, I didn't think one would be enough but it's ginormous. Anyway, onto the positives! The batter is on the thicker side with a nice crunch. I personally felt like if I kept eating it, the fat would actually clog my blood vessels. So, unfortunately, I couldn't pig out all the way. However, the chicken itself is incredibly juicy and the best part imo. Nice n steamy goodness. Tots are just tots. They were great but ain't nothing particularly special abt them. I also really enjoyed the Mac n cheese! I felt like the taste was great but I'd prefer a thicker texture of the cheese. My bf got the chicken caesar wrap and said he really enjoyed how light and fresh it was. They didn't skimp out on the chicken at all. Ranch and fancy sauce complimented the wrap well. It was the perfect serving amount. All in all, we would highly recommend this place! The service was quick, easy, and simple. If you needed anything else, you could just walk up to the front and grab whatever you needed (to-go box, utensils, cups, etc). The vibe of the restaurant is very outdoorsy, family-friendly, and cozy. read more

Whitney and her team made us feel extra special yesterday with very friendly and helpful service.

Fried chicken goes very well with French champagne ! read more

Palmer's was great. I was in town for work, and had down time. So I came to yelp. I did not know about the media attention around it when I came, but boy did it live up to it. I got the tender meal and added a tender to it, because most of the time 3 tenders is not enough for me (I am a bigger person). I was very wrong. The 3 tenders were more than enough and I could not finish all of my food. Service was great because you can just scan the QR code and they will bring it all to your table. - I am a mobile order till I die person, and they allowed for this in a sit down environment. read more

My experience was not that great the first time, the staff didnt seem to really care when I addressed that my nashville hot looked pretty ,mild and wasnt red at all like they forgot to put the seasoning on there amongst one other mess up that they had me pay to fix i was infuriated but that lack of customer service did not speak for the food i liked the food there. My husband and son wanted some fish and waffles for brunch so I thought hmmm let me give this place another try, i knew they would like it. Well i ordered the Napalm hot even though i was for- warned i told them I can handle it after all the hot was very very mild last visit. Well that stuff was "drink alot of water and let is rest in your mouth before swallowing hot" it was very very good though but after 2 pieces i was like nope why am i doing this to myself. I came up there and spoke to Hannah told her I need to order something less hot. My husband had medium and his actually had red seasoning on it so now I am really convinced my order from last time was nowhere near hot which led me to think maybe nothing here is hot. I showed her the pic on my yelp review form last order she confirmed that was def not hot, she took care of my hot order. All the food was great, my family loved it. Finally tried the waffles they were perfect. I am so glad my experience got turned upside down. Hannah, she was just great, from the moment we walked in she was well ahead of us and still stayed and held the door open for us, she was so friendly when we ordered and she was willing to accommodate not just for this visit but for my last. I am glad I did not allow for one nonchalant staff member to ruin my chances of having great food. And i actually think I might be willing to try the napalm again, i mean i did get through 2 of them, if you dont drink enough water then try this one, you will be drinking 8 cups of water just to finish it. read more

The hot chicken is very delicious. There are different hotness levels so you can go hotter if you desire. The tater tots were actually my favorite part of the meal set. They're crunchy and very flavorful without the use of condiments. Also you get a lot of tater tots that it will fill you up. Between two people, we should have ordered one meal set and shared it because I could not finish it. Onto the sides, I wish I had chosen the mac and cheese. The coleslaw was just okay but I got tired of eating it after a while. read more

Palmer's Hot Chicken - CHIX CAESAR WRAP MAC AND CHEESE - Southern Near Me - Garland, Texas

What a great place for Gluten-Free catfish with a bite. You can get it as spicy as you like. I loved it. However, we made our order at the table, but it only allows you use Apple Pay so I had to still go to the counter to place the order. No biggie, only the price at the counter was different from the price at the table. Apparently they offered discounts on their app which they don't offer at the counter. After we got that corrected, we waited for our drinks. The first drink an Elijah Craig old-fashioned came and we waited for the others.. after a trip to the counter, we reminded them we had beer and wine as well. They apologized profusely. My husband's beer came out correctly, but my wine came out as a glass of red. Let him know that we had ordered a bottle. He apologize again and returned with a bottle of red, which we reminded him was supposed to be a bottle of Chardonnay. And all was very about it. The food came out on time everything was ordered and delicious. We like it so much that we have added this into our regular rotation and highly recommend it . It's pricey, cute atmosphere and good food. What else can you ask for? read more

Really upset by how dry my chicken was on the sandwich. The baked beans and banana pudding were an 8/10 so I would get those again, but I'd have to find a different chicken option because the chicken on my mother clucker was dry AF. I got it on Grubhub though Yelp so the service and Ambiance were not something I could really measure. read more

Love getting the little dark option here. Chicken skin is so tasty. Good tots and fries. Really great food and very well priced at that.

Service was fast. Vibes were good, the enclosed patio had games. It'd be a great spot for a friend get together or to watch a game! I got the novice flavor, it wasn't for me personally. I will try the Nashville flavor next though. Now the Mac and cheese is AMAZING, so flavorful and creamy. read more

Palmer's Hot Chicken - 3 JUMBO TENDERS - Southern Near Me - Garland, Texas

This is our second time eating at Palmer's and it tasted just as good as the first time. I ordered the Big White w/ novice seasoning. Had just the right amount of heat for my palette. With that came with two sides so I ordered the French fries and Mac and cheese. To drink I had the Froze' which was during happy hour so it only cost $5.00. Our food came out smoking hot. Chicken must have came right out of the grease because when I dug into it with my fork, nothing but steaming goodness came out. The food was on point and so was the icy Froze'. It was full of flavor and the perfect kind off drink to complement the beautiful warm day outside. If you are looking for one of the best places in Dallas to have your fried or even baked chicken fix, this is definitely it. Not to mention the wonderful customer service. The guys at the register were thorough, kind and very welcoming. I will definitely be back! read more

Palmer's Hot Chicken - Sunday special - Southern Near Me - Garland, Texas

Came here for a late lunch on Saturday due to 4.5 star Yelp rating. We should have walked away when the lady taking our order wasn't too friendly, it's a forecast of what our food will taste like. My daughter and I got the motherclucker sandwich. When I took my first bite, a big orange blob fell out of my sandwich. Looks like it was cheese, offputting cold cheese. It was too thick and creamy and threw off the whole sandwich. Maybe it would have been better if they took the time to melt the cheese? We had to scrape out the orange blob and we were still struggling to finish the sandwich. A nice juicy chicken would have saved the sandwich but the chicken itself was dry. My daughter could only eat half her sandwich. Something acidic like a slaw would have been a much better choice to balance out the sandwich. The fries and tots were good though, but that's not what we went there for. read more

Palmer's Hot Chicken - Off putting orange blob they call cheese on our motherclucker sandwich. - Southern Near Me - Garland, Texas

Absolutely horrendous, chicken (grilled /fried) has no flavor. The sides (baked beans/Mac and cheese), taste like fresh out of a can. Customer service non existent, no greeting, no hello, etc. Had to get up and find own utensils, drinks, etc. Place not very clean.. Here visiting from out of town. Very disappointed, if I could give less than 1 star, I would read more

Beautiful inside and cute concept with the inside/outside play area. I've tried Ricky's Hot chicken, Dave's Hot chicken, Hattie Bs, Luckys, etc. this was not it. Not sure where any of the flavor was but it was not at Palmers. How this place has a 4.3 rating is beyond me. Truthfully the only way I was able to eat the chicken tenders was bc of the ranch. Not even the special "fancy" sauce they make is good. Down to the banana pudding being tart. Would have loved for this place to be 5 stars but I cannot lie like others have. We ordered: Jumbo Tenders - Novice "heat level" (ranch, fancy sauce for dipping) Mac and cheese & Tots for sides. Absolutely no flavor whatsoever didn't taste like anything was on this tender. Motherclucker - Napalm "heat level" (ranch, fancy sauce for dipping) Mac and cheese for side. The heat was extremely intense for no reason was not worth the time it took to drive 5 mins to get there. Shrimp Popboy - Nashville "heat level" (ranch, fancy sauce for dipping) Grilled corn. I don't how you can go wrong with corn but ‍ it was not anything special. Big Daddy's Nanner Puddin'. Very disappointing tasted tart with every bite and not worth the cost for the tiniest scoop that they give you. read more

Decided to check out a new place for fish this past Sunday, so I stumbled upon Palmer's. They offer Nashville hot chicken, fish, and shrimp. I was excited to check out a place that offers hot fish! I ordered fish with the second lowest heat (novice) along with pimento cheese fries and mac and cheese--and after waiting just a few minutes, our food came to us at our table. The fish was delicious as were the pimento cheese fries, but the mac and cheese was the real surprise! It's some of the best I've ever had, possibly the best!!! Another surprise was how good the waffle was! It's very soft and not dry whatsoever! What I will say is that I wish I got a hotter heat with the fish. Being from New Orleans, I should have known better to get the second hottest heat (which I ended up doing after we ate this a second time, and it was so much better). The place is clean inside, and service was great! This definitely has a lively feel to it, and it probably thrives on a Friday/Saturday night despite not many people being there. Overall, Palmer's gives me what other places don't--hot fish (and shrimp if I want it). I will certainly be back to have more delicious food from here! read more

It's amazing... the staff is always helpful, attentive, and kind. I always get the 3 jumbo tender meal with level 3 (Nashville) spice and it comes with two sides. I get double fries and share the meal with my boyfriend. We spend $22 on two drinks basically two meals and a waffle. Not a huge fan of the Mac and cheese. Just kinda meh compared to the chicken and fries. My favorite place for a quick bite. Def check it out. Went in today. They are having a event today and the wife of Palmer came over to my boyfriend and I and gave us fun stickers with their logo and "feed me chicken and tell me I'm pretty" also a %20 off an entree coupon. The time before too Palmer himself came to our table to say hello. Honestly love this place. Good weekly specials, full bar, happy hour, and games with an indoor/outdoor patio. Everyone I have brought here to eat has loved it. read more

Upon entering it felt like a typical chicken joint to me; with a covered patio and indoor seating available and bar. I ordered the Big Dark in Nashville and the Napalm (Nashville and Carolina reaper) with Mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts. The waiter always sends out the disclaimer: no refunds when customers order. Folks will try to return it because they've 'chicken'd out' . Hehehe! Not me and my man though! I can't believe it but I actually enjoyed it all the while guzzling water like I've never drank it in my life. Both spice levels were seasoned to perfection and so crunchy and flavorful! I enjoyed both. The Mac and cheese, I could have done without but the b.sprouts were deelish. I had leftovers and enjoyed them later on in the day. If you want some real Nashville style chicken, I'd definitely check this restaurant out! Enjoy their full service bar too while you're there! read more
