Back in Dallas and I had to immediately make a stop at Mike's Chicken…read more Consistently good every time. The buffalo sauce is tangy with the perfect kick of spice, and the gravy is just country gravy, but somehow SO good with the fries. The sweet tea was a little less sweet than I remember from my last visit, but nevertheless, still good. Highly recommend!

The service was good, even had a trainee that quickly learns, as usual they were attentive asked repeatedly if we wanted more sides or water and cleaned our table while we sat and relaxed! The ambience is what you'd expect for Babe's chicken House, It's fun neat little pictures and sayings on the wall.

Walked in to a friendly hostess and was seated rather quickly. Had a homey feel with wait staff bustling around delivering fresh chicken and veggies to various tables. After we were seated Nathan greeted us and explained the menu, and returned with our drinks and big bowl of Salad w/Italian dressing and homemade biscuits. The salad was fresh/crisp and the biscuits w/honey, oh my melt in your mouth goodness! I ordered the catfish. Oh so light and crisp coating of cornmeal and fried to perfection. My husband got the chicken fried steak. Nice light coating and fork tender to cut. Topped with the creamy white gravy made it so good:) All the veggies, salad and biscuits you can eat with a protein of choice (5 to choose from), makes a great, fairly inexpensive night out This is a nice family friendly place and worth a trip! Will definitely return.

I ordered a two piece combo which comes with a drink and a side. I realized after I ordered it was a dark piece and a white piece pricing. I wanted two piece dark. If I ordered the pieces individually it would've been cheaper. There are combos that are worth the price, but some of it isn't. Just have to look at the different combo prices and how many pieces. I'm only picky particularly with fried chicken and prices because I've worked at a fried chicken place my whole life. There's free ice cream!!! The place is clean and nice too. Staff isn't friendly.

The staff was really friendly and took time to answer our questions as first-timers. You order at the counter and then seat yourselves. They brought the food out to us hot and fresh! We tried the southern-style tenders and Bourbon Bacon chicken sandwich. Hubs enjoyed the sandwich and the tenders were not scrawny. They're just not seasoned at all. It appears as though this place is proud of their vast selection of dipping sauces. I tried the special sauce and the honey mustard flavor. The special sauce was not so special (kind of like a watered down Cane's sauce) and the honey mustard was more sweet than mustard-y tanginess. The sauces just don't seem robust enough to make up for no seasoning on the tenders. Either way, I'm sure this works for a lot of people. I'll be back to try the shakes. They looked delicious. This place seems perfect for anyone craving fries and a shake. The fries were hot and seasoned really well.

Come to flavor town ;) Staff was super kind, brought our food quickly and the vibes are a classic upscale fast food, but chicken themed.

Honestly, the only thing worth anything was the Kool-Aid, and that's not what you come to a chicken and waffles place for. Do better.

The service at The HEN HOUSE is great. My friend and I went to check it out. Firstly, we were greeted when we walked in and the lady that served us was very friendly and courteous. I ordered Fried Rice and fried Chicken and my friend ordered BBQ wings and friend rice. They told us it would take about 10 minutes and we were OK with it. We sat down at the restaurant and enjoyed the peace and quiet and the owner even came out and visited with us. There were a few other people waiting on their "To Go" orders and one other people dining in with us. Our order came out on time and we were able to enjoy it right there. My chicken was superb and my fried rice was flavorful! My friend was very into his chicken! Thank you. read more

WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS IF POSSIBLE!!…read more This was one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had anywhere. I called in my order and was told I could choose my fountain drink when I arrived. Five minutes later when I got there, the same employee said the fountain machine was broken and then tried to require me to either pay for a fountain drink I would not receive or pay extra for a bottled drink. When I asked to simply remove the drink and pay for the chicken and fries that were already prepared, I was told they "don't sell that" and that I would not be served. After this dispute, the employee handed the food that had been prepared for my order to customers who were waiting in front of me and told me that my order was canceled. Shortly after, two customers came in and were allowed to order only chicken and wings with no issue, even though I had just been told that was not possible. I have video of this interaction. I then offered again to pay for the food that had been made for me. Instead of resolving the situation, the employee canceled my order and called the police even though no crime had occurred. Being refused service after attempting to pay the posted price, having your food given away in front of you, seeing other customers allowed to order what you were denied, and then having police called over a simple pricing dispute is beyond unacceptable. I recorded the interaction for my own protection because of how out of control it became. If you care about fair pricing, basic respect, or being treated like a human being, do yourself a favor and avoid this location entirely.

I would have just jumped in the ride and followed everybody to the repass/repast and ate there, but it was in Dallas. Specifically Oak Cliff. Like 37 minutes away according to GPS. I was like, "Umm, No. Family, I love yall, but he went too long, and I'm hungry NOW." Thankfully, Jamaican Cook Shop was just up the road. This was my first visit. The restaurant is in a busy but small strip shopping center. The inside of the restaurant screams Mom-n-Pop-Dive-Spot and is adequately decorated in Jamaican themes and colors. There are about eight small tables for dining. The restaurant is counters service. I didn't spy a traditional menu board. Pictures of the food with names of dishes are simply posted on one wall, and there's a well-worn menu on the counter from which to order. I ordered the small Jerk Chicken entree (2 pcs. of bird) which comes with two sides. My sides were plantains and cabbage. The friendly young woman at the counter was helpful in suggesting her favorite sides. OK, now to the food. This was really good Jamaican food. The entree was provided in a quality plastic container with lid suitable for any leftovers. My order came with a leg and a thigh, and the chicken was moist and tender with plenty of jerk sauce around it. The bird had excellent flavor, and even leaned to the spicy side, which was a plus. The sides tasted freshly prepared. The entree at $14-and-some-change was reasonably priced. There was steady traffic during my visit. I'm gonna bookmark this place for any time I'm passing thru or near Mesquite for a good solid comforting meal.
