Foodie Alert! I went to Ricky's for a quick lunch date with my friend on a random Friday. It's a nice lil spot to grab a bite with great service. This was my first time there, and I wanted something small but with a lil kick, so I got the 6 nuggets, fries, and a Sprite. I got the nuggets hot, and let me tell you, they were HOT. There was too much seasoning on those little nuggets, so I couldn't enjoy the meal. But do not worry, I told the manager, and he fixed it right away with no problem. That was top-tier customer service! And for that alone, I will be back! Not to mention, they have the BEST Sprite! So definitely check them out and tell them Ms. Hope sent you!
Ive gotten mild a few times but usually get medium. Since I was working I got the mild. Usually there is still spice and seasoning on the chicken but this time there was absolutely nothing on it. When I called and asked if this is how they serve their mild now, the girl said "it's how it's always been, mild is for little two year olds to eat" In my head and other people I was eating with, there is absolutely no way mild always had nothing on it. The chicken was still good just had no flavor. If this is for a 2 year old then what is the point of the "No Heat" option?? For a 1 year old?? If I wanted bland chicken i would've gotten chicken express I didn't even want a refund or another order, just wanted to confirm if this is how it is. Girl at the counter didnt own up to her mistake. On top of that, was disrespectful with that comment lowkey
Fabulous hot chicken. Private lot in a strip center for parking. We arrived at 11 when they open on a weekday. Ordered the birds nest and a sando with fries. Food came out hot and fresh. The heat was spot on for me. I'd recommend the first time you maybe level down one because their medium is hotter than other places. I usually order hot and the medium was about the same as hot at other places. The fries might be the best I've had anywhere. Service was prompt and kind. The only rec I have is regarding cleanliness. The tables and floors were a little sticky and the doors and glass were absolutely covered in smudges and fingerprints. The back wall was scuffed and could use a good coat of paint. The kitchen is open and you can see they're clean with food and prep. Overall it's just minor tweaks to take this place to five stars for me. The food was so good so I'll be back.
Amazing and it hits everytime would recommend if your around the area, best chicken place in Arlington !
BABYYY when I tell you this chicken is the BEST chicken I have had in the DFW area! Had me feenin' after the first time. Went back 3 times in one week (Don't tell anybody lol) . Hot, Fresh, Seasoned, BIG, juicy, and everything you need in a chicken wing. The fries were plentiful and crispy with the right amount of seasoning. Go get you some!
This place always hits the spot when I'm craving hot chicken! If you have a low tolerance to spice then I would start with the lower level since this heats builds. The staff is always kind when I go and food comes out pretty quickly. I would definitely recommend you try this place!
Update: revisited 2/24 All bird nests aren't created equal. If this was the first time I ever had one, I wouldn't have retried it. This time they asked for Cajun fries or regular? Which we weren't asked before. Cajun was what we got. The fries are good--- the preparation this time ? Lacking. Feb 2024 Parking is always a little harder to find but there is a huge parking lot. Both times we found the 20 minute parking only parking spot available. Service was quick- we were in and out within 5 minutes. Food ordered : Bird's nest mild and Bird's nest medium $12. Yea I'm getting this again for sure. 4.5/5 Banana pudding $3 (good. Re-orderable. Not GRANDMAMA'S but still decent. On the smaller side) 4/5 The meal came with drinks, so we filled our drinks (self-serve) and by the time that happened, our name was called and we left. Plenty of seating. Televisions available. Nice wall art. Pay before you eat. You can see the employees making your food. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the utensils are all in a container naked. Yes, naked. I reached in to grab a fork and was wanting to wash it off immediately. Would return for the bird nest

I got the hot which appears to be medium heat. The chicken was dipped in hot oil, then smothered with some hot powder. It had good flavor and that level for me was ok. The fries were good with hot powder seasoning, good as well. I will now try the next level heat so that will be interesting. I recommend to try! The price was decent too! read more

Omg these wings are BIG & delicious. Well seasoned, crunchy crust, & juicy on the inside. The chicken is halal so that was pretty great. I'm not a big French fry person but these fries were yummy for crinkle cut fries. They had a good nice seasoning on them & they were fresh & hot. Service was good no complaints. They have a cool mural on the wall of Ricky's hot chicken. Not a big dinning area but it's sufficient. Bathrooms were clean. They do have a variety of heat & spiciness you can order your wings in. Medium was spicy enough for me. read more

I was in the mood for hot chicken, and I haven't had Ricky's since they first opened. It's still pretty good! I got the medium spice, and it wasn't as spicy as you think which was good because I didn't want it to be too spicy where it would be unenjoyable. So medium was the perfect in between for me! Ricky's will probably always be my go to for hot chicken in the Arlington area. read more

Food was delicious and came out fast! Employee's were super nice and helpful in the ordering process (such as explaining how hot each spice level was along with a comparison)! Definitely recommend the Bird's Nest, it is DELICIOUS! And a super good portion size for the price! Same with the tenders, being super filling. Inside is nice with painted walls, tables and good space! read more

Best tenders ever. I always get the medium level spice & it's perfect. The fries are super crispy & flavorful. They have weird hours so I would watch out for that. read more
Been meaning to try Ricky's Hot Chicken for awhile, I'm never in the Richardson area so I was glad another location opened up on the other side of DFW! What to get here? Chicken! Lots of options from actual bone-in, wings, tenders, sandwiches. This visit I elected to get the bone-in leg/thigh combo, wings, fries and the house sauce (similar to canes sauce) and all medium spiced. Medium has a great kick, I was happy I could still taste the spicy and the chicken, for me any hotter I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. Chicken was crispy and tender, fries seasoning was great! Overall happy with pricing and portions - and comes with a drink! Great fast service, clean restaurant. Will be back in the future. read more

My many times here have always been great! Ambiance is great with the natural lighting and big windows, and good music choices. Staff and service are great too. They get food out QUICK. Food itself is absolute yum. I love their menu and haven't found anything I don't like THE FRIES ARE SO YUM. I've never had crinkle fries like how they do it here. If you only know Dave's Hot Chicken this is the place you want to go for a proper Hot Chicken experience. One day I'll be bolder and make it to medium but for now mild is perfect! If you're a bold one, they even have milk to save your tongue afterward . ARE SO YUM. I've never had crinkle fries like how they do it here.

I've been wanting to try this place for a good HOT minute, (no pun intended, haha!) but I didn't want to drive to Richardson to get it. So they opened one in Arlington, which is way closer to my house and since I was in the area getting an oil change, I decided to give them a try. I went ahead and tried the Sando and I got it in mild to just try that out first before I start going up in heat and let me tell you, that sandwich was SO juicy and tasty. I think the next time I will go up to medium. The fries were also cooked perfectly. Everything came out great! The staff are great too. The guy that took my order was very organized, helpful and knew his product. I will be going back for sure. read more
Y'all... stop drop and roll right down to Ricky's!!!!!!! So glad to have a highly anticipated Nashville hot chicken place nearby, and it def lives up to the hype! Absolutely love love love the medium hot but if you're brave go to hot and feel the deliciously seasoned flames of Hades in your mouth. I heard you need to sign a waiver if you dare taste the hottest level here and it def ain't no joke sheesh. The "tendies" here are actually on roids and are oh so juicy while the crunchy outer layer is so crisp and thin that it doesn't overtake the bite, you have to just try and see what I mean. Love the sides here as well. Fries, creamed corn, fire balls are all a hell yes. Have to try the mac too but they ran out last time I came by. The strawberry lemonade also smacked so get that to quench your 911 sitch in ya mouf. I think I'm addicted now and finna get some ulcers but its all worth read more
Love this chicken spot and glad it's in Arlington now! Still the best sandwich I have ever had. The spice levels actually match up to what they are named. This spot has indoor seating too so you can eat there or take it To-go. I like that they peel the corners of your to-go box because if not it will make the fries/chicken soggy by the time you get home. Fries are seasoned great. Chicken is well seasoned, juicy and crunchy on the outside. read more

Was recommended to come here by a fellow foodie and was not disappointed. As you walk in, you are greeted right away. If it's your first time they'll explain the menu to you so you get an idea of what they have to offer. Restaurant is a clean and open space with family type seating. I got the tenders combo with a side of mac n cheese. Also got an order of fireballs. The cashier recommended their strawberry lemonade which I got. Overall I am very delighted and can't wait to go back. I am a fan of spicy but sooo glad I got spice level medium bc it allowed me to get the slight bite but actually still enjoy my meal. Everything stayed crispy and warm on my to go trip back home which was about 15 min. read more

Y'all....the food was AMAZING! I've tried other Nashville hot chicken spots and they weren't giving what they were supposed to, oh but Ricky's Hot Chicken did! I ordered The Sando, medium hot and it was so freaking good!!! It was crispy, juicy, and fresh! It was the perfect amount of heat and the slaw on top added the perfect amount of sweetness! The fries were fresh and just right as well. To top it all off their chicken is Halal, peanut, and dairy-free! Go check them out! As always, Bless Ya Food! read more
