    The food is great, & the portion size is amazing; come hungry b/c you're going to get a lot of food for a GREAT PRICE. The owner, TJ, is also an amazing guy & great chef. He's very personable & engaging while he cooks, as well as while you eat (if you're eating at the food-truck). I'd highly recommend checking him out if you're in the area of Richardson Square Mall's old location.

    Italian beef sandwich and Vienna Beef Chicago dog
    Dale I.

    This a food truck that does an amazing job of bringing Chicago to Dallas. The Italian beef sandwiches and beef hot dogs are so darn good! They have other options but my hungry belly knows what it wants and I order accordingly. You can usually find TJ at the parking lot for Lowes in Richardson but he gets around. Sometimes at local events or breweries. Follow him on Facebook and he'll let you know where he is at and where he's going to be. This a must stop for fans of Italian beef and Vienna Beef hot dogs. Go get yours soon!

    Food truck

    Hot dog lovers here's the place to eat. Food truck is in the Lowe's parking lot at Plano Rd and Belt Line Rd Richardson Tx Restaurant quality. Every ingredient is premium, especially the meat. Eat in your car or take it home. T J is an expert food preparer and operator. Good example of an entrepreneur who deserves your support.

    best hot dogs i ever had in my life!!! affordable and delicious. good service and ambiance

    Chicago style dog. You can add pickles relish, mustard and condiments as much as you'd like!!

    I had the Chicago dog for the first time and it was really good. I can't believe I've never noticed this truck here while in the area. The owner is super nice and I'll definitely be back more often to try more of the menu!!

    Chicago Dog that I like to eat at home. I always buy at least two dogs. One for lunch and another for dinner.
    Chris K.

    Always the best hot dogs. TJ serves them up hot and fresh with Vienna Beef and buns shipped in from Chicago, so you know they are real beef and the highest quality. TJ also has Polish Kielbasa, Philly Steak, Chicken, New York dog with sauerkraut, Bratwurst dogs, etc. so you are bound to find something you will love. Personally, I love the Chicago Dog, Polish Kielbasa, and the Boston Beantown Dog. The prices are a great deal, so make sure to give TJ a "big fat tip."

    I got the Chicago Hot Dog with chips and soda only for $6.00! I will definitely come back!

    OMG! Best Hot Dog Ever! The owner is super friendly guy! I got the Chicago Hot Dog with chips and soda only for $6.00! I will definitely come back!

    Chili Cheese

    Chili Cheese Dog was delicious. I'm a fan. I will have to come back. This pairs well with a four bullets blonde beer.

    Lots of Condiments!

    So, have been to the one on Maple several times, but it's a far drive so haven't been there in a…read morecouple years. However, I sometimes have to be in north Dallas for business, and this one on Forest is close enough to justify the side trip. I can still say that Mike's has the best damn chicken in DFW. I agree that the sides can be a little underwhelming, and nowadays I usually just grab a couple spicy breasts (yea baby) and sometimes an order of fries (nothing fancy, still good) and forget the plates. But honestly, this is one of those places that you come for the main attraction and if you're counting anything else, well, that's just not right. Yes, you can wait 15 minutes or more when you order at the counter. I've finally come to the point where when my work is done, I borrow someone's computer and order it online, and it's usually ready by the time I get there. This is the way to do it. It's so hot when I pick it up, by the time I get back to my main hub 20-30 minutes later, it's the perfect temp to eat. Don't listen to any Elite types who bad mouth any of the locations. I've never had anything but perfect chicken here. Try it for yourself.

I kept wondering who Mike was, so I looked it up--turns out Mike's Chicken is Vietnamese-owned, which somehow made me trust the operation even more. Fair warning: when you go, be ready to wait about 20 minutes--or order ahead like someone who values their time. They cook everything to order. I was like, what? In this fast-food age of heat lamps and broken dreams? But the wait is worth it. The chicken comes out fresh and hot as fuck. Crispy, juicy, and clearly made by people who respect the craft. This isn't grab-and-go chicken. This is sit down, shut up, and appreciate chicken.

I was ordering an original chicken sandwich meal which shows as full price and it would not let me modify the meal to remove pickles as I cannot eat pickles. I had to get somebody to ask them why it would not allow me to modify. She told me it's because the Sandwich is $1 on Sundays and cannot be noticed. However, this promotion is NOT listed anywhere within the establishment and as I stated, the original chicken meal was shown as full price when I placed the item in the cart. I also offered to pay full price to remove the pickles and I was told no. This is an unacceptable practice to not be transparent with people coming to order from your place of business. This was my first and last time coming to a birdcall. Luckily we left and went to McDonald's which was in the same parking lot.

I also liked the gravy you can dip the chicken in. The spaghetti was solid, but on the sweeter side. The ube pie was just okay for me. A little too much filling.

    I had high hopes visiting Jollibee, having heard so much about their famous Chickenjoy…read more Unfortunately, this visit was a letdown from start to finish. The Food: I ordered the Spicy Chickenjoy with gravy, and the photos I took tell the whole story. The chicken arrived drenched in an overwhelming amount of brown gravy that had completely destroyed any crispiness the coating might have once had. The meat itself looked pale and gelatinous where the coating had pulled away -- not an appetizing sight. It tasted exactly like what it was -- chicken that had been sitting on a warming tray for well over an hour. Lukewarm, soggy, flavorless, and rubbery. The gravy couldn't mask how tired and stale the chicken tasted. This was nowhere near the fresh, crispy Chickenjoy the brand is known for. The Restaurant: The dining area looked neglected and poorly maintained. The tables were unclean and the overall appearance of the store reflected a lack of attention to basic cleanliness standards you'd expect from any food establishment. Bottom Line: I would not recommend this location and will not be returning. If you're craving Chickenjoy, find a better-maintained location where food quality and hygiene are actually prioritized.
