I've been looking for some good fried chicken and this place delivered! Service was great! It may take a bit to get your food, but it will be fresh! It's my go-to chicken spot read more

Chicken was fairly good. Place was dirty. No salt or pepper available. Cook not wearing gloves. Won't return. Not a very inviting place.

I don't think the fish was really Catfish. But maybe it was. It just did not taste like Catfish.

Order 5 catfish filets for $12.99. Great price for the fillets, seasoned, and fresh, but they were super thin. So thin that it seemed like they may have cut a fillet in half or the pieces were flattened. Definitely more breading than meat. Some parts of the fillet were just breading... no meat. There is no way that that is catfish. It tasted kinda fishy as well. I haven't tasted the chicken, but I do not recommend this place for fish. You will be disappointed. read more

You can drive thru, dine in or takeout. They have many options for sides and the fried rice seems to be popular. Will try next time. The food is seasoned very well and cooked to order. The breast was a bit dry but I like dark meat and that was perfect! Overall it was a great dining experience. read more

The Chicken taste AMAZING!!!!! My husband and I where looking for a restaurant that sold fried chicken and happen to come across this one on yelp so glad we chose this spot because prices and chicken are 100%. read more

From the outside the place doesn't look like much but the food wasn't bad. The service was friendly and was greeted when I walked in. They have too much going on inside as well. Supply boxes everywhere and it has an old grocery store vibe. The kitchen area can use some help. The chicken was juicy and seasoned with a nice exterior crisp. Overall, not horrible but its a once in awhile kind of place. Prices are extremely affordable. Kind of place you can feed an entire family for cheap. Keep an open mind when coming in. read more

This is definitely a place that offers food at a great value. I bought a combo that had 2 pieces of dark fried chicken, Mac and cheese, coleslaw, a roll, and a drink for around $5. I really like that they have a drive through and the person taking my order was friendly. In terms of the food, I found the fried chicken had great crunchy skin, but was a little too salty. The mac and cheese was pretty generic and bland. read more

Thomas Fried Chicken - Dark meat combo with mac & cheese and coleslaw - Fast Food Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

Tried this place this weekend and was very disappointed. The chicken is made fresh but seriously way too greasy I don't think he let the chicken drain off the excess oil at all. The mashed potatoes had to be the worst potatoes ever. My kids even said they tasted like cardboard. Definitely not going back. The place had boxes everywhere the tables had not been clean some still had plates from people that had obviously ate there. read more

I order a two piece white with fries. I had a small wait and it was cooked fresh. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy. The chicken had an off flavor and it was very juicy and oily. The fries were basic but at least I enjoyed the can soda. Not a fan. read more

It's very good, seasoned well, hot and fresh. My second time going this week. Try it, you won't Be disappointed read more

First glance @ this place while driving past u wouldn't think it was worth stopping but if u look past the façade and go in u will be pleasantly surprised. Staff is and has walkways been super friendly. The chicken is some of the best around town. ( chicken fingers are my go too ) they also give u Hawaiian bread rolls . For sure worth the stop read more

Doesn't look like much but the chicken is good!! I have never gotten old chicken. It's always been hot and fresh!

Love this place, I had the two piece dark with mashed potatoes and gravy with okra , and the flavor and price is always great

Good prices, made to order. Typically just one dude in there, but he rocks it every time. Better than Lisa's

Love Thomas fried chicken! The chicken wings and chicken sandwich are amazing! Like the shrimp but when I found that they do not clean/devein their shrimp it was a turn off. I am on that it's a great little place for a quick bite to eat read more

When we order the food is fried fresh. I try not to go to often‍: my complaint as in my previous review is some of the people(younger ones) taking orders. read more

Thomas Fried Chicken - Nice menu - Fast Food Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

I was driving around with my wife and I was so hungry. As always couldn't pick what I wanted to eat so I opened up the yelp app to see what was around. This place happened to pop up. Not too many pictures of the food and only one review, so it's hard to make a choice when you are super hungry. We all know when you are super hungry you don't want to waste that hunger on bad food. Lucky for me I made the right choice. The place doesn't look like much from the outside, more like a corner store. As you walk in you see plenty of tables and the set up it's a little weird but it works. They have 2 TVs where the tables are at so you can enjoy different shows which is a bit weird for a small place to have 2 TVs, but I guess they are doing good. They have plenty of drinks to choose from- Mexican sodas to snapple teas and everything in between. At the back of the restaurant is the kitchen and the register where you get to place your order. Let's get to the food. They have plenty of combos to pick from- some have chicken strips, catfish, fried chicken and shrimp. Portions are good and the prices are even better!! You can get a 5 piece chicken strip combo with 2 sides and a drink for under $7. I had the 2 piece white meat and mash potatoes with brown gravy and fries. My plate also had a roll and a jalapeño. My wife got the 6 pice shrimp combo, mash potatoes with white gravy and fries. I believe the total was around $12 or so. The chicken was fresh and super juicy, the flavor was regular nothing too special but good. The shrimp were huge, a lot of batter but shrimp were still a good size, mash potatoes nothing special but good. The fries were nice and brown, well done like I love. The rolls were those little Hawaiian rolls- great little side. I would definitely come back to this little hole in the wall place to try some other goodies. read more

I love this place, I can see why they are named the best chicken in the area. They also have great fish and shrimp , great sides too!

Chicken was dry. Plus they had no thighs only legs and breasts at 1 pm! Won't be back.

The damn server attitude is horrible food good service trash I ordered a 5 PC my daughter asked for some to drink and this a hole talking about minimum 3$ smh when u roach for money I feel like they run around you read more

Order the fried chicken! you won't be disappointed. The fried okra was delicious! Definitely a hole in the wall you want to check out.

This place serves great food at very reasonable prices. The tenders are moist and the green beans are really good with bacon in them. The gravy is just so so, it has to be a mix but everything else was great! read more

Tried it for first time today. Got 2 meals and it is so much food you could easily feed 4. Chicken is terrific,not greasy. Good slaw and mashed potatoes and fries. Will try other sides next time to test them out. My total was like $12 for 2 meals. We will be back. What a bargain and what a great place. read more

A year later. Same great food, same great prices! I should go more often! :) Quick synopsis : Good, cheap, old-school fast food fried chicken in a converted convenience store. I'm not sure what they do different from other fast food fried chicken places, but Thomas's is about the only fried chicken that I'll eat the skin & crust. It's nice is crunchy, with a good flavor to it. It reminds me of fast food fried chicken from back in the 80's. Like I said, I'm not sure what they do different from other places, but this stuff is GOOD! :) read more

Thomas Fried Chicken - 3 pieces, mixed, 2 sides, a roll, a jalapeño, and a small drink for under six bucks. - Fast Food Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

Very great food! I opened a hail repair shop across the street and so it's easy for me to get to, the menu is very affordable and the food is amazing! Took me a minute to try the place out cause I was iffy, but totally glad I did! read more

Chicken, Gizzards, Okra and Fries OMG GOOD! Came with white gravy that needed to be thicker, creamier and was lacking salt and pepper.

This is the best keep secret of Grand Prairie The chicken is better than any national chain the sides are great. And if that wasn't good enough the prices are fantastic. Don't be fooled by the appearance this place is great. read more

Tried this the other night for the first time after reading the reviews. I must say...the chicken is legit. We got two of their combos, the 3 piece mix and the tenders. Man it was all good, from the mashed potatoes and gravy to the corn on the cob. Their rolls are good too. My only issue and I'm sure will continue to be an issue, the more popular this place gets, is the wait time. They seem under staffed and although, it's a good thing, they seem to cook their chicken to order. I'm not sure if that's standard but they did the night I went, for every customer. Oh and you can't beat the price and over all value. Definitely will be returning. read more

If you are tired and need a break of Williams, Rudy's, Popeyes, Lisa's and whatever the name I missed lol , then come to Thomas you will be disappointed and the specials are great ! read more

Cheap spot but good! Asian operated & I was surprised because it tasted like one of my aunties could have cooked the chicken (: VERY HOT.. the only thing I dislike is that they don't have any honey mustard dipping sauce. read more

I only ordered the fried chicken and it's nothing really spectacular. I only ate here because it's close to my job. I have had better. Not much else to say about this place. read more

I can't complain. Crispy, tasty, fresh n hot. Chicken taste similar to Lisa's chicken, if you like theirs you'll luv Thomas Fried chicken!

This is by far the best chicken place in the area cheap and amazing quality . Definitely get more than your money's worth here

I love fried chicken wings! they fry them well!!! very nice people... No chicken sitting under a heat lamp- it was piping hot and really fresh. And the Hawaiian rolls really compliment the flavor of their chicken!! Yum! read more
