We had friends visiting from out of town and gave them options for lunch and they picked Cookshack! Another 5-star Cookshack experience! It's always amazing to me that these restaurants are in strip plazas but on the inside, they never seem like it. The look is so cool. Rustic but modern. White subways tile, raw wood, black accents, Edison lights. Love it, All the staff were top notch! Order at the counter, take a seat and they'll bring your food to you! For food, our group went with: the chicken sandwich, chicken and waffles, 3 piece tenders and a salad. Everyone LOVED their meals. This was my third visit to a Cookshack and I've ONLY gotten chicken sandwich and it was once again, it was perfection. My husband has only gotten the chicken and waffles and he said it was the only thing he plans on getting here. Haha. We know what we love. Download the Cookshack app and gets points for FREE food!
Pretty solid chicken tenders! The spice levels dont play! I always get a medium and it's the perfect amount of spice before it gets unbearable! (But once in a blue moon I'll get a craving for that Texas hot spice level) The staff are always very nice and attentive, especially this last visit we made! Young gentleman took our finished plates and made sure to ask if we needed anything. The sides are okay, I feel like they balance out the chicken very well!
I got food Togo! Got the loaded fries with coleslaw and brisket, a kids nuggets with shack sauce and kale salad and we got a 3 piece tender with sweet heat sauce and gravy and sweet potato fries! We wanted to try a variety! Everyone was fresh and delicious!
I've been wanting to try this place since it opened and was finally able to while running errands the other day. I like it! The service was fast and friendly! I ordered tenders with mild heat and a side of macaroni. They arrived on a slice of bread with some sauce on it. I could have done without the sauce as it was very spicy! I also ordered a side of remoulade which had a kick but a really good flavor! It's like campfire sauce with a combination of ketchup and mayo together with seasoning. Super yummy! They have a few beers on tap but I don't think they have a full bar. The Mac and cheese was country style and very tasty! The tenders were cooked just right and tasted fresh! Next time though, I'll probably get "no heat" as the mild with the sauce was on the spicier side for me. We'll definitely be back to eat again soon!
Hot chicken is popping up everywhere! Walking in we were greeted by a worker behind the register. She was kind, polite, and helpful. As we asked questions about the menu, she was able to answer them all and give her input on items. I ordered 5 pieces of tender hot and 2 no spice with fries. Also came with a piece of toast and a dipping sauce, I choose their shack Sauce. The sauce was nothing that stood out so it was just there. The tenders were a good size and the heat level was a good spice. I was able to taste a piece of waffle from my brother in law and it was a good combo. The waffle was fluffy and not dense at all. I almost for to talk about the fries and that's probably because they tasted like regular ole fries nothing special versus other places. Over all good place with good workers.
OMG! Soooo happy we decided to try this joint! Greeted warmly upon walking in. Place is open, clean and even has padded chairs! I had to order the chicken and waffle... medium spice.. with the dragon fries. It was absolutely delicious. I ordered 2 different sauces, and didn't even need it. Barely used any. Could have used another syrup, but made it work. That cinnamon butter... My wife ordered the 3 piece, mild, and fries with slaw... she ended up eatting most of my wonderful waffle. Portions are generous.. we're taking a box home with us. Definitely we'll be back!
Good, casual chicken sandwich/tenders place. Have mostly stuck with their chicken sandwiches - mostly because the chicken is crispy, well-cooked and heat preference can be adjusted. Buns, pickles and slaw that comes on it are also good. They're Mac n cheese as a side is very creamy and delicious! Value for the meal is good, though I think I will try their lunch special out - feels like at a place like Dave's Hot Chicken or Raising Canes, I get a bigger quantity of the side. And those include their sauce. In comparison, at Cookshack you have to order it as an additional add-on. That being said: it's a good sauce that is very good with their chicken.
Very rustic, cozy, and nice ambiance. The service was quick and good. Very helpful explaining the menu options. The food was just ok and the fries were really salty. Ordered the hog heaven and it was just ok. Somewhat on the warm to cool side temperature wise. The chicken strip on the bun was ok. Nothing fancy or special about it. I don't think I would make a special trip to come back again unless maybe in the area. Ordered the butterscotch ice cream sandwich which was sweet. Maybe it was just an off day for me.
I believe the quality of their food has decreased. My original review was around the time they opened this location. The last couple of visits have become more and more disappointing. We have not been back in a few months after my last meal there. I have only ever ordered the chicken and waffles there. The last time we went the chicken was very rubbery and did not taste right. I have not returned since that day. While this could have been an isolated incident, it left me not wanting to return especially because we have plenty other food options in the area. The staff is very nice and helpful when ordering your food. The space is large with many tables nothing special to it.
Cookshack is a cool spot to get some good chicken. The service was great and overall a cool spot to grab a beer and chicken. Also had the chance to try the ribs and they were average, a little dry for my liking. But overall a good spot and try at least once. The sides we ordered were kale salad and macaroni and those were definitely delicious.
So I overslept on the original restaurant that I was planning to go to. I drove to the Cook shack which was 4 minutes from my hotel and open until 10:00 on weekdays. I ordered Chicken (mild) and Waffles with French fries and sweet heat dipping sauce. The chicken was well cooked and crispy. The French fries weren't anything special. The waffles were fluffy and tasty. The waffles have a butter that puts you in the mindset of Texas Roadhouse that make them very tasty. The location has many televisions set to sports giving you a sports bar feel. I ordered my food, went and sat down and it was brought out to the table within 10 minutes. Overall would recommend or come to eat again on lunch. Waffle 4/5 Chicken 5/5 Fries 3/5 Margarita 4/5
Couldn't pass up the chance to stop by here after an hour or so at Baybrook. And just between me and the two or three people who read my stuff, I had procrastinated a few times before. The flagship food of this eatery is chicken strips. I know what you're thinking. "Chicken strips? I can get those at my kid's ballgame!" Yes, but I doubt those chicken strips are big as your forearm like The Cookshack's. Having ordered five at medium heat, I was about full when I took on my second piece. The amount of spices blended in the poultry was enough for a kick, but not to where I chugged multiple drinks. Fries were aplenty and just as good. They also have ribs here thus making a second visit here likely.
Great find. Be prepared to enjoy your meal. I ordered the Sleezy Chicken - a bowl of layered Mac and cheese chicken tenders and coke slaw. It was oh so good. I tried the hot heat and it was hot but the Mac and cheese and the coke slaw cooled down my mouth. My dad ordered the 3 tenders with sweet potato fries and he said things are definitely bigger in Texas. The tenders combines were larger than a breast and the sweet potato fries were oh so yummy. We are so satisfied. Room for improvement- the lemonade was water minus the lemon and unfortunately my Mac and cheese was cold but I still enjoyed the dish. McKinley was amazing. She is a keeper and understands customer service.

After seeing all the posts on a local foodie page, we had to check this spot out for ourselves. I had the Heights location on my radar for some time, but this location is way more convenient. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Now on to the food. I went with the 3 piece tender meal and got it all with Texas Heat. I also got an extra side of cole slaw to go along with the Dragon Fries to combat the heat if needed. For my sauces I got ranch and sweet heat. They only give one sauce and charge for additional ones. The sauces are small so you end up getting up charged a bit if you're a Big Dipper. This meal was heat on top of heat on top of heat! I can handle pretty spicy food, but these tenders quickly put me in my place. I was sweating from pores I didn't even know I had. That being said, the food was delicious but I would definitely take it down a notch or two next time. I did try the regular tenders and they were very tasty. It's a tad bit overpriced for tenders, but it's quality food. I'll definitely be back! read more

Me and my bf went out to eat at this place for the first time and we had the chicken and waffles and chicken sandwich and 2 sides. The sides that I had got were Mac and cheese and he got sweet potato fries. The fries in this photo of his chicken and waffles were SPICY. How are sweet potato fries spicy? He ended up not finishing his food and I felt pretty bad. :( Although the quality was great but idk if I'll come back. read more

Might be the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Also the most picture perfect. Chicken stacked with coslaw pickles and special sauce it doesn't get any better than that. I found myself asking what sets this chicken sandwich apart from the chicken sandwich trend and competition. Two things, how spicy you can make the chicken and the fries. Sesoned to perfection fresh cut fries. read more

My sister n law said to try this place out so that's exactly what I did. My boyfriend and I have been to "hot chicken" restaurants but never specifically here. You choose your chicken option, then a spiciness level. I ordered a tx hot chicken sandwich w/ Mac & he ordered chicken & waffles in medium w/ dragon fries. The food came out pretty quickly! Let me just say the portions are quite big in my opinion, I left extremely satisfied and FULL. My sandwich was delicious and spicy. I wasn't a fan of the Mac but that doesn't mean others won't love it....next time I'll order myself the dragon fries. You order your food as you walk in at the counter and they'll bring your food out to the table. The place is cute inside with great service. I can't wait to come back here!!!!!!! read more

Delicious little spot for a quick lunch today. The chicken sandwich (medium heat) was delicious and so were the sweet potato fries. My husband had chicken and waffles. The portion was huge; we could've easily split that. We will be back! read more

Great Food & Service!!! A must try!!! I look forward to returning to try the Ribs and other menu items. Medium Heat was just right for heat in sandwich, Texas Heat was a little more hot than I prefer and the Dragonfly fries are spicy too, but bearable. read more

It was my wife's and my first time to visit the Cookshack, and we had a very nice meal and enjoyed top notch service. At the register counter we were greeted by friendly staff who explained the heat levels and spices involved. I was excited to try an AMF chicken tender (spiced with Carolina Reapers and Habanero) along with Texas Hot (Habanero), and ordered the spicy Dragon Fries on the side. I can see why they have a waiver for the AMF heat level, as it is quite intense and legit, legitimately well-flavored with astounding heat! The 'Texas Hot' were very hot and well balanced heat and flavor. I will get both next time, as well. My wife ordered the grilled shredded chicken kale viniagrette salad which is EXCELLENT. The team member who rangvus up, a female whose name I failed to note, came by our table and asked how everything was. I said while it's all very good, perhaps the Dragon Fries could use more Dragon seasoning to which she offered and promptly delivered a small cup of additional 'Dragon' spices which I sprinkled atop the perfectly crisped fries. The heat level on the fries was thereby more befitting the name, and I sincerely thanked her. The restaurant manager, Mr. Jonathan Ramirez, also came by our table to see how we were enjoying our meal. He took the time to tell us about the company origins, orher locations, and the many wonderful menu offerings. Upon hearing I had consumed one of the AMF tenders, Mr. Ramirez was so kind as to suggest we try a sample of the Cookshack's Butterscotch Oatmeal ice cream sandwiches, which we found to be absolutely next level delicious; it also extinguished the 5-alarm AMF fire in my mouth! A wonderful restaurant manager with a team of friendly, motivated company representatives, Mr Ramirez and his team show customer service and satisfaction is a sincere core value at Cookshack. We will be back, again and again. We are so happy you are now a local attraction to Webster, TX. read more

Spicy yummy deliciousness!! This is such a cute and delicious place. I had the chicken and waffles. The chicken I got medium hot but was a little too hot for me. It was still yummy but had to use extra syrup to eat it. The waffle was perfect! The fries were crisp and seasoned perfectly as well. We will definitely be back! read more

The staff here is always so upbeat and friendly, and very welcoming to any and all who come through the front doors. If you're craving some GOOD fried chicken tenders, this place is the place to be at. I was craving chicken and waffles and this is a great spot for exactly that. When you order, you can select the different levels of spice for your chicken. I've only ever had it at the medium spice level. But even then, it's still not too terribly spicy. So next time I might increase the spice level. They also have different dipping sauces as well for your chicken. Their cookshack sauce is pretty yum and similar to Cane's special sauce. My boyfriend likes the traditional gravy with his tenders, which is also good. I also ordered the half rack of ribs; and they're very delicious. I'm super picky about my BBQ ribs, but these ribs were pretty top notch, especially for a mainly chicken place. You can also order beer and margaritas here too. The food comes out relatively quick and each time, I have never been disappointed. It is definitely my go-to spot if I'm ever craving chicken tenders or chicken and waffles. I highly recommend this place! read more
