The menu
Billy J.

Well, a friend from out of state recommended this place. Said it was better than Caines. In some ways, I can see why he thought that. For example, they also have wings, milkshakes, and salads... as well as chicken and waffles! Several different kinds of teas, as well as lemonade, and some other specialty drinks, along with your typical soda fountain (see pics). This location was recently built, so everything is newish, and well-maintained. There's a large inside dining area, as well as a small outside covered dining area. The atmosphere is your typical fast food casual. They did a good job of taking the order, and explaining their menu. The food came out fairly quickly. However, we ordered our french fries, extra crispy and not only were they not extra crispy, they weren't even hot. The chicken was excellent and hot! Note: They have a large selection of dipping sauces, which Caines does not. The chicken fingers, fries are served with toast, but not Texas toast, and does not include coleslaw.... Which may explain why their pricing appears to be slightly lower than Caines. We will definitely be back, the expanding menu with shakes is appealing to us! If you haven't tried this place, I would strongly encourage you to!

Buffalo Mac & Cheese Bowl Meal   With rubber bands on the side

Our food had black rubber bands in our macaroni bowls. I don't wear rubber bands in my hair so there was no doubt about it being placed in there either in the entire mix or specifically our bowls. However this was my first and last time coming here. I didn't even bother calling to report it. Disgusting---- period!!!

This was my first time here & I was presently surprised! They have some fresh tasting items. The staff was really nice & friendly and the restaurant was really clean. The sandwich was seasoned superbly, the strawberry cheesecake jar was delicious and not too sweet plus the jar is reusable. I just wish the pickles weren't so salty, the batter was light though. I'll definitely go back, there's more items that caught my eye.

Went here for lunch with a coworker and honestly wasn't mad about it at all!!! We arrived close to 12 pm so it wasn't too many people there. I'm not sure if the cashier realized it was our first time being there but I will say I felt real rushed to make a choice, which I didn't like and should be noted. Again...there was literally one person behind us who had stated he was there to pick up an order. Once I got past that, I just made the quicker choice I could make which was to get the Slim's Meal (3 tenders/choice of side/drink). My coworker got the wing meal with a side of Mac and cheese and drink. I'm so glad I got the tenders. Not only were they juicy they were also very well seasoned so I was so happy with my choice. The lemonade...bomb! Not too tart or too sweet. It was just right. The fries were hot and seasoned well too. I tried a wing (buffalo) and It was the typical buffalo flavor. My friend said the Mac and cheese was ok. I'd try it myself to get a good personal review. For it to have been lunch time, the dining room wasn't packed at all. It was clean and I was happy that it wasn't too loud. The drink station was clean was definitely a breath of fresh air and they had a great variety of soft drinks, flavored lemonade and teas (several). Nice touch! The only thing I would have liked to have seen was someone cleaning the tables once diners left. I should also mention that there is a drive thru so if you want to try it that way it is an option. Overall dining experience was a 4 star. The initial customer service could have been 100 times better, which actually discouraged me from deciding on dessert or not, but other than that it wad a great lunch spot. I'd definitely go back!

Pretty simple and to the point. Great Chicken and even better service. I will make this a regular stop when in Coppell!

Fried chicken salad
Mel M.

I was craving garlic parmesan wings & a side salad today. And BOOM I was able to get both in 1 meal. The chicken strips came in a garlic parmesan wet sauce that was seasoned to perfection. Wonderful food & prompt service - I'll return at least once a week to try other menu items.

We had two servers and both were kind and helpful with taking our order and getting drinks and food out on time! The restaurant is mood-lit and vibey. It's a calm atmosphere and their bar area is stunning. I got the fries and friends, which came with three dipping sauces. This is a very generous portion and my boyfriend and I were unable to finish it between the two of us- would be great to share with 4 people, in my opinion! I also got the Brussel sprouts, which I did finish. They are cooked to perfection and have an incredible garlic sauce. They used to have grapes mixed in, which I LOVED! However, they have since changed the menu. I understand it was an odd pairing and maybe guests didn't want to try it, but it was great!!! Sad to see it change, but still good! My boyfriend and I both got the great rum punch, and it packed a punch! Although l couldn't taste the alcohol on the sweet drink, I could feel it! We had a great time and will be back. We wanted to recommend the charcuterie board, we get it most times we come! They always have fresh and seasonal options they put on the board and have even made a fully vegetarian board for me before, they're great!

Stopped by Whiskey Cake with some coworkers for a quick lunch. I hadn't been in years, but I…read moreremembered that cake. Some people hold onto cherished childhood memories. I hold onto dessert. The menu looked a little different, and the service was really good. We started with the fried green tomatoes, which were absolutely wonderful. I don't even like tomatoes, but apparently my objections disappear once you bread and fry them. I have principles. They're just negotiable. For my entrée, I ordered the steak salad. It was okay, but nothing I'd get excited about. The steak was lukewarm, and the dressing was sweeter than I wanted. I prefer my sweets in cake form, which, conveniently, was already part of the agenda. I'd skip the salad next time for the price; I've had better meals elsewhere. But the whiskey cake? Still amazing. Still worth remembering years later. Honestly, I'd come back again and again just for that cake. So my lunch had a strong opening, an underwhelming middle, and a spectacular finale. Thankfully, I'm very willing to forgive a plot issue when dessert sticks the landing.

I visited Madea's for the first time on a Thursday while in town visiting family, and I was…read morewelcomed right at the entrance. The hospitality set the tone for a great experience. I ordered the pork chop plate, and the server kindly let me try both a fried pork chop and a smothered one since I couldn't make up my mind. I also had fried cabbage and yams. The cabbage had a little unexpected heat to it, but that's actually the same way my family cooks theirs, so I ended up really enjoying it. One thing that stood out to me was the staff. I'm not sure if the restaurant is always staffed this way, but I was genuinely impressed that all the front-line workers were men -- and every single one of them was courteous, respectful, patient, and mindful of each customer. While I enjoyed my meal, I watched them treat each person who walked in with the same positive energy and attentiveness. If you're in the area, go support this restaurant. The food, the atmosphere, and the service all made my first visit a memorable one.

I was on this side of town and was a little famished for some soul food. Decided to call in a take…read moreout order. The young man who answered the phone was very kind and ensured he had my order correct. Even verified I was ok with paying over the phone before he took my order. I arrived about 15 minutes later and once inside the cashier called for my order number then requested to see the card I paid with and my ID. In today's world it's comforting to know there are businesses verifying identity! Kudos!! Once seated at home I opened my container to hot fried catfish, tomatoes and okra, Mac n cheese and hot water cornbread. My first bite of everything was very good and seasoned to perfection. I got so full so quick that I wasn't able to finish but it made for perfect leftovers later that day. On to the desserts! My mom got a slice of pecan pie and I enjoyed the strawberry cake. Both were tasty and prepared perfectly! I will stop in again for fried pork chops when it's time for an off plan meal.

The catfish was not even close to blackened and lightly seasoned, the "bed" of rice was a thin layer under the fish (less then a 1/3 cup of rice), the piece of bread was decent and maybe the best part of the meal, the rice was bland and had NO meat which makes dirty rice dirty, the worst part of the meal was that we walked in to order to go, then when our food was ready, the 2 little girls in the front were playing around for about 10-15 minutes while our food was just sitting there ready. It wasn't until we said something that they checked if it was our food. The ambiance was cool, too bad everything else wasn't. They get 2 stars because their fries were good.
