    The food was pretty good I liked how filling there salad was and the chicken sandwich was nice and crunchy adding the sauce to it really added a delicious flavor. Great service! This lovely young lady insisted to help me clean my table afterwards & the place is nice to have a quick lunch with a couple friends

    I made my way back to Red Chickz for dinner on a Wednesday night and oh, what a treat. The website was a little wonky for ordering but finally did it. Best value for my family of 3 was to order 10 strips and a gaggle of fries. I also ordered Cole slaw to ease the heat that was sure to come. Spice level: blaze, which sneaks up on you ! Crispiness: off the hook! The tenders were placed in a foil pan and still piping hot when I got home 15 mins later. The box of fries fed me and 2 hungry guys and we could only eat 2 strips at a time. Not to mention, reheating the next day was just as good as eating it the same day. Highly recommend.

    I absolutely love this gem. The place is small but the staff is super friendly. The tenders are delicious, the wedges are good and their macaroni is the best I've ever had!

    The original sandwich

    Stopped by since I was in the area, and I am glad to say they do hot chicken right. They had a lunch deal and $2 tender deal for thursdays. We ordered the original sandwich and got 2 tenders to round out the meal. It came out very quickly and so fresh. The chicken was steaming and so juicy. They clearly do something to brine or marinate it as the meat was also flavorful, which is sometimes missed by hot chicken spots. The spice level sparks was nice and the next level up, bonfire, was making me sweat. I would definitely get the bonfire next time as a spice enjoyer. Service was very quick and friendly. They gave us a run down of the deals and menu as it was our first time. Looking forward for the next visit!

    "The crunchiest hot chicken in Houston"- that's really all you need to know right?! Well you should also know that their tenders are Texas sized! This was my first dine in experience with this spot bc post workout treats are the best treats. I'll say my experience started out a little rocky. The gentleman behind the counter was friendly but created a less than comfortable experience answering their cellphone while taking my order. I figure it was the businesses alternative to a store location phone, but definitely awkward. I then went to grab my drink, went to throw away my straw wrapper to find that the only trash can is the back of three restaurant by the bathrooms! Operational concerns aside it was great to see those specialty lemonade/drinks, shakes, Texas sized cauliflower, kids meals and other unique offerings. Cheese tots- taste exactly how you'd expect them to taste. Chicken and waffles-surprisingly solid. I was fooled by the soft waffle (a pet peeve of mine), but paired with the super crunchy chicken, it works! Tenders- they work with the sauce! Strawberry dragonfruit drink- worth a try Mandarin cardamom-also worth a try Here are a few notes if it's your first time: *ask about the spice level. The jump from medium to hot is wild! The hot before the inferno is a ghost pepper jabanero mix! *try (atleast try) the comeback sauce without comparing it to canes. Imo, it works with the chicken!

    Was targeted on social media for their $2 Tender Thursday special, I just had to try for the first time! Walking in I told the order taker it was my first time here and she walked me through the menu and provided suggestions and spice preference. Already knowing what I wanted, it was pretty easy. Choose spice level. Comeback sauce (similar to Cains). I prefer my chicken to taste good while a small kick. Spark level was perfect. Big juicy chicken tenders, crispy, moist. It was great! The potato wedges were great with seasoning. Clean inside, nice customer service, plenty of parking. Can't complain - hit all my check points.

    So happy I checked this place out for lunch. They have a great lunch special that isn't mentioned on the Yelp menu pricing so don't be scared by the prices you see online. More importantly, the food was AMAZING! Crispiest Nashville hot chicken EVER! Extremely crispy exterior but juicy on the inside. I had the original sandwich at "Spark" heat level and I'm glad I didn't go any higher. I like spice and it was perfect. Service was also exceptional. Bravo!

    Had to check this place out on a Thursday because the chicken tenders are two dollars apiece and they are huge. They are very tasty and well fried. Now, I'm not a Nashville hot chicken type of person so I was reminded again that I do not like this kind of dry rub spice, but my friends loved it. The only thing I noticed that I would take points off was for the mac & cheese that wasn't so good. It was rather watery and I wanted to check out the original taste so I got it without any spice. The cheese curds were delish and on point. The other thing that really struck me as odd is, it's an eatery. It should be clean. It felt wet and damp and sticky, and the bathroom had no soap, and there was a paper cup with liquid soap in there for patrons to stick their hands in, which wasn't the best. (Was Too surprised to take a pic!) That said, if you're there for the chicken, which you should be, I would just order, pick up, and go, because multiple people were sneezing...even myself, who never sneezes, I sneezed like five times & there were people behind me -- multiple people sneezing and when I looked down at my phone, it was coated with like a little dusting of probably the spices that are floating around, so I would highly recommend an air purifier and a dehumidifier (industrial size) for this location. It's just too small and not that clean, but so popular and super tasty for Red Chickz not to do well...please add those things because I don't think I could come back unless I could breathe. Now, the best part was the counter service staff. They were great. They were attentive. They were fast. They knew the menu and they were friendly and explained everything. We had waffles, also, which were on the softer side but very good. Wedges and lemonade were also so good. We spent about $48 for a $10 lunch special, curds, Mac and cheese ($5 is pricey for a little cup), and single tenders -cold, spark, glow, and bonfire - mostly no spice levels to the medium spicy)

    Ordered Togo from the counter, we took it home to eat. My husband said it's the best fried chicken he's ever had. It was really good. We got the cool and mild to try out. I would definitely get one more spicy as the mild was nothing! But very good!

    I learned about The Red Chickz through a yelp event and I am so glad this spot was introduced. The chicken here is absolutely amazing, from the crunch and the flavorful taste of their fried chicken i was not disappointed. I was also surprised that none of the chicken had a dry taste knowing that it was chicken breast, all of it was moist and that added extra points. My favorite spice level was Bonfire, it was the perfect amount of heat, so spicy enough to feel it but not overwhelming . The staff was very friendly and the service was great. The ambiance itself is very casual and inviting, so perfect to sit and relax while you're eating and the place was clean as well. A great experience overall and I need them to open more spots throughout the Houston area.

    The service was great, the atmosphere chill, and the food was even better! There are so many options that we will have to visit again. We tried the original with the bonfire. It was great, and we could have gone hotter on the sandwich. The corn ribs were seasoned with spark, and I think that was the perfect heat for those. We like spicy foods though. 5/5, we WILL be back. We want to try the honey butter sandwich and the loaded wedges.

    The Spark
    Anokhy D.

    Good lunch stop by the outlets if you're looking for hot chicken. We got the Spark, which includes two large fried chicken tenders (very juicy) and well seasoned potato wedges (decent) with their special sauce and a toasted slice of white bread (fine). It was spicy and flavorful, and came out pretty quickly after ordering. I lost all phone service in that area but they saved the day with their own wifi!

    I was in the mood for fried chicken and this place was exactly I was craving!! The young girl at the counter was super friendly and helpful in ordering. We ordered the honey butter sandwich with fries and a 2 piece tender with coleslaw. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy and tender inside. The fries and honey butter sandwich were also delicious! The coleslaw was too bland for my taste, but other than that , this place was really great!

    I travel for work and my job took me to Hockly Texas so I stop in on Friday night and let me say it…read morewas a great time. I believe the bartender was Nicole she very helpful and SHE KILLED IT because it was busy. I enjoyed how she joked with her regulars. There was another young lady who got me ice cream before I left that was also nice. I don't remember what calzone I got but 10 out of 10. I will be back sometime in Few months will stop . It does get pretty loud only down fall for customers.

    You know a place has potential when a forgotten pizza doesn't end up being the thing you remember…read moremost about the meal. My family and I stopped by Backdoor Pizza and were greeted by a genuinely friendly staff and a laid-back atmosphere. It wasn't a rushed dining experience--in fact, our food took a while to come out, and somewhere along the way my son's pizza order was missed entirely. Not ideal when you're dining with a hungry kid. That said, what stood out was how fresh everything tasted once it hit the table. The pizza was hot, made-to-order, and worth the wait. Nothing felt like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. The ingredients tasted fresh, the crust had a great texture, and you could tell care went into the food. The real surprise of the night? The fried Oreos. Crispy on the outside, warm and soft on the inside, and just the right amount of sweetness. They easily stole the show and were the highlight of the meal for our family. While the timing issues and forgotten order keep this from being a five-star visit, the friendly service, quality food, and standout dessert make it a place I'd be willing to give another shot. Every restaurant has an off day; what matters is whether the food makes you want to come back. In this case, it does. The fried Oreos alone might be enough to get us through the door again.
