This was absolutely delicious!!! The chicken was crispy (not greasy) and seasoned to perfection! The coleslaw and sauce added on it made it top tier. The mac and cheese was good, very cheesy but not seasoned. The banana pudding was made great but was too sweet for me. I'll definitely try this spot again. read more

Food is always great at SmackBird Chicken! I wish they still had the brick and mortar options around town.

SmackBird Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Forney, Texas

Located inside cowboy chicken. We ordered through DoorDash as there was no other way to order other than in line. Chicken was thick, but so was the breading. Smack sauce was pretty good. We did 3/4 for the spice and it was a good amount of spice. I'd eat again based on the chicken itself, but the price might make me think twice read more

We did not get the side order and because of part of the meal no refund. They are the one forgot to add to the meal and did not double check to see order is good to go with DoorDash. Come get it anytime I can't get anytime I will be out of state. How convenient for them we messed up order come get it anytime I was not able to pick up that's why we ordered. This is not good customer service at all. Manager Try to repeat same thing makes me feel like I was wrong. read more

First time trying this place and we ordered the "Lil Bird and side" sandwich combo, Mac & Cheese, fries, banana pudding, and brownie. There were likes and dislikes: Lil Bird sandwich - Liked the size of sandwich, the crunch, and seasoned nicely. The coleslaw comes on the side for you to put on the sandwich yourself. Disliked the small amount of coleslaw they give (it barely covered the bread/chicken) Sides - Mac & Cheese and fries were pretty good. Desserts - Banana Pudding was okay. Wasn't a fan of the brownie (had a weird after taste to me) Overall, I would definitely suggest to try the sandwiches! read more

So this is a ghost kitchen inside of Cowboy Chicken. There's a side kiosk to order specifically for Smackbird. It's very good and can get spicy, but this place is slow as all get out. Probably waited 20 or so minutes after ordering to-go. They forgot the side stuff for the order, so had to ask them to put it in the order. There's not many items, so not hard to put everything in it. But on top of it all, this place is WAY too expensive. It's $14 for 2 tenders/fries, $17 for 3 tenders and fries, and over $20 for 4. It's really hard to go back to this place with how good it is because of their prices. They need to come down a little. It's crazy. But again, it's very good! read more

It's a have to try. I just happened on it and thought not another chicken place. The sandwich was huge and I love the spice and the slaw. The fries are crispy and sooo good. That's all I've had but I am a repeat customer because it's so good. My cheat day food. read more

called 3 times and their reason for hanging up was "it was on mute" chicken isn't all that great just full of chili and cheyenne pepper all on one side and a slice of great value bread. the potatoes aren't like the ones online just fyi it's actual fries. i almost thought this would be my go to but i guess ill drive the extra 30 min to get good chicken from luckys or dave's read more

SmackBird Hot Chicken - i got the Eight Nuggz and One Side. each piece was so coated on one side, fries were flimsy, and the bread is at the bottom - Chicken Shop Near Me - Forney, Texas

Inside Cowboy Chicken. Food was good but the restaurant was disgusting. The floors and tables were super sticky. I wiped the table with a baby wipe because it was sticky but no food remnants and the wipe came up BLACK. I used several wipes and still black every single time. There was also black/brown stuff smeared all over the wall. Bathrooms were disgusting as well. Would do way better if the establishment was clean. It made it hard to enjoy our meal while trying not to touch anything read more

SmackBird Hot Chicken - See dirty stuff wiped all over wall - Chicken Shop Near Me - Forney, Texas

This place is the definition of secret restaurant! It's legit a restaurant within a restaurant. Honestly, it's was pretty cool. I order the big bird and the Mac chicken sandwich. Let me tell you OMG the flavor was amazing! It's has a kick the spice and the fries were to die for! We only know of this place about a week ago and have been back like three times. Yes, it's that good. I have tried so many chicken sandwich places and nothing compares to smack bird! I wish they have loaded fries because their fries are so freaking good! read more

There is a popular hot chicken spot in Austin called Tumble22.... This place reminds of them but the chicken is better. If they could just better their sides, the potato fries with jalapeño ketchup are the best side, Mac and cheese is basic. Overall the best hot chicken place in the Forney area hands down. read more

Ok. It took a minute to realize this was a ghost kitchen inside of another restaurant. Ordered it says 10 mins it actually took 25 mins, even though the initial restaurant was not busy at all. Questioning if we had to wait for the original restaurants orders to be completed first? Meal was very expensive, $20 for 3 tenders, one side, banana pudding. Funny thing is same exact price for 4 tender meal. Chicken strips just had a lot of seasoning on outside only, no inside flavor. Outside breading could be better. Overall mediocre meal. Fries was the best part of the meal. Now lets get to the banana pudding. Lets just say banana pudding is comparable to potato salad with raisins! Soupy cup of pudding with cookie crumbs and a few bananas on top. 2 thumbs down. Tried it. But safe to say will not try again. read more

I went with the fam and I have to say, overall good food. I ordered the chicken sandwhich, tenders and a side of mac n cheese. I got the Good Smack and it was a bit spicy for my taste, but very tastefull. The texture of the chiken remained through the sandwich unlike others that get soggy before you finish. The mac and cheese was ok, it was too dry for my taste. My boys really enjoyed the tenders and the fries were also very good. The Smack sauce is different than all others which makes it unique and delicious! The only inconvenience was ordering. We had to use our phone and the reception was bad. Perhaps a little kiosk or something like that to make it quicker and easier to order. Will be going back to try other flavors. read more

This hot chicken is the only genuinely hot chicken I've ever had. It is legit, and so good! My son and I tried the Hell smack challenge and it is fiery!! I read somewhere that there is scorpion pepper in one of the heat levels, but I feel like there might also be some reaper in there. It is no joke, and definitely not for the faint of heart (or stomach). You definitely earn that t-shirt you get for the challenge tender, although we only got one shirt even though we had two challenge tenders (one for each of us). We also each got a three piece with hot smack (level 4) and another with hard smack (level 5) so we could see which spice level we liked the best. The hard smack is good and would be really challenging for someone without a high spice tolerance, but the flavor of the hot smack is the better one in my opinion. The tenders were huge and fresh, with light and crispy breading. The fries were great and I loved the sauce and the jalapeño ketchup. I'll definitely be back! read more

So I just ordered the 4 strip lunch meal for 17.75 plus tax and I was just told the side will not come with that because they changed their menu but if you read the picture it is not changed on Ubereats 20$ for just 4 chicken strips is insane! So when I asked is there a manger to discuss he told me to google it lol *My stars are based on customer service, I'll be back for the food review* read more

Pretty good sandwiches. Hidden inside cowboy chicken, it's easy to miss... but don't... cause it's good.

Honestly so good! Got the regular chicken sandwich with fries and Mac n cheese. So so good! Loved the medium spice and the different sauces. The fries were super good. Like thinner potatoe wedges! We also got the challenge wing and holy s. All chicken was cooked perfectly. Would for sure recommend! read more

They are a ghost kitchen. We ordered online and picked up at Chili's. We got chicken sandwiches with fried dippers. It was great. I forgot to order coleslaw. I'll fix that next time. The fried tenders have the perfect amount of breading/crust! It was so good. read more

It's inside cowboy chicken which has a shit rating. Food tastes ok, but the breading just falls off the chicken. Also they weren't busy AT ALL and it took 25mins for 3 tenders and fries which cost $12. (A table of 4 came in and ordered after me and got their food and finished before I got mine) Also, the black chick at the counter was inattentive af, in her own little world with an ear bud in. I'll end on a positive note, the manager guy was nice. read more

The chicken is on point! Nice & juicy tenders, the goodsmack definitely has a good kick to it. We typically go to Dallas for hot chicken but not anymore! I found my new spot for hot chicken! read more

This chicken is legit!! Best in Forney and perfect everytime! Been a fan since day one. Don't wait just go try it! Thank me later lol

As someone who has tried most of the "hot chicken" places in the DFW area, this is not one I'm likely to highly recommend. I tried two sandwiches, the Goodsmack and Hotsmack, along with the Mac and cheese and dippers (fries). The quality of the chicken is solid, but the actual flavor was lacking. While the Hotsmack wasn't as hot as I would've hoped, the flavor was a bit off putting. The Goodsmack was definitely the better option. The sides were alright, but not enough to make the meal memorable. If you don't have the option for anything else, it's a decent option. I would personally drive the extra distance for a better sandwich... or go to Mary Sue's for better flavor. read more

Love Smack Bird! Great sandwiches & tenders & sauce. All heat levels are exceptional.

We placed an online order yesterday and went to pick up made it back home and realized the pickles my son requested to be removed weren't, the extra dollar I paid for cheese on one of the sandwiches wasn't on there, and the slaw requested on the side for all 3 sandwiches was no where to be found. The fries were very good and the flavor of the chicken was very good but was disappointed to not have the order correct.I'm not sure if we will try again read more

Was looking for something new, and stumbled upon it, and was not disappointed at all! if you want a real chicken sandwich for a GREAT price, then definitely try SmackBird. read more

In total honesty, the best chicken sandwich and Nashville hot chicken I've ever had. And I've been to Nashville 5x. A true gem of a hidden restaurant with excellent service and great, attentive staff. read more

It's inside cowboy chicken on a kiosk but if you order online you can just go in and eat your food or get it to go it's always hot and fresh and so good.!! Another bonus they are in cowboy chicken so service is always bomb! We get the kids baked chicken from cowboys and the adults eat spicy chicken from smack bird and it NEVER disappoints! read more

a relative five stars--not the best i've ever had but pretty good. took over an hour from doordash but it held up OK. fries were good even soggy and the chicken had a bit of crisp left but the seasoning and heat felt just right (i got the middle level). would order again. read more

We tried this for the first time through Uber eats. Our driver went MIA and they had to find a new driver (over and hour not the restaurants fault) and once it was delivered it was still so good. I can imagine how amazing it would be eating it hot and fresh. We have tried a whole lot of restaurants in forney and this was the best yet. Loved the Elote too. Really enjoyed that it's all seasoned and not sauced. Would be ordering it weekly if they could get on door dash read more

We loved Smackbird when it was in Forney the first time. Now the chicken tenders are huge and they don't give you as much Smackbird sauce with your meal (not enough for the giant chicken anyways). The taste is still wonderful, but the chicken tenders really do not need to be so huge. read more

At your own rusk try there hot ones they hella spicy but good at the same time would try again

I was skeptical! I hadn't heard much about this spot and I closely read the reviews. So I gave it a try. I'm GLAD I did. I ordered the chicken sandwich with lil smack and it's seasoned well and the chicken is moist. It's a little pricey but worth it! read more

The chicken sandwich was really good. If you like spicy food go with the hot nuggets, for us we stuck with the fan favorite for our sandwich and it was amazing! The pickles and the sauce really accommodated the chicken sandwich well, great burst of flavors all together. Banana Pudding was also good too. Overall, SmackBird is a must try!! read more

My wife is from Nashville and we always try out new hot chicken places and I have to say...we were EXTREMELY dissaapointed. Idk if I got a bad batch or what but my tenders were SO salty that I couldn't even finish ONE. Giving two stars because at least the fries were OK. Hopefully this isn't normal but I don't plan on spending any more money here to find out. read more
