Tenets Basket - 2 tenders, bread, fries and bird sauce. Nashville Hot on left, xtra hot on right.
Tiffany S.

"DAMAGE CONTROL" On yesterday, I placed an order through Doordash and requested no bread but called and asked if I could substitute for more pickles. The cashier asked the manager and she was willing to accommodate me. That was nice of her because she could have said no. My order consisted of a tenders basket (Nashville HOt) and large kale salad. It arrived via door dash excellent delivery and kind driver. I opened my food and the SPICY SMELL was literally unbearable. I then started thinking maybe I am being sensitive. I cut a piece and tried to eat it and almost choked from the pepper. REMEMBER I am originally from NOLA so SPICY Is my forte. I immediately called the store and was asked if I wanted to come in or get a refund. I requested a refund than the cashier says " I don't know if we can do that so let me check. I waited a few minutes, then I continued to wait , then I hear staff laughing in background, then someone says "ISN'T THAT WHAT SHE ORDERED" at this moment I became frustrated. I had been busy all morning and needed to sleep for work that night. I headed to the store and you would not believe once I arrived at the store, the cashier was helping customers, and the PHONE WAS OFF THE HOOK by an unoccupied cash register. I immediately requested the manager in a calm tone. The manager VERENICE arrived at the front counter and greeted me. I was so furious so the first thing I did was show her my phone and the phone off of the hook. I was on HOLD for 24 minutes see picture below. She proceeded to apologize and attempted to explain they the call was missed. I further explained that DOOR DASH prices are higher so offering a person to come in the store is not the bet alternative. I ordered DOOR DASH for a reason and it is a huge inconvenience when I have to arrive in store to correct a worker's mistake. SHe understood exactly how I felt and offered a solution. I also requested for her to smell how hot it was as well. She proceeded to tell me they are using a new seasoning and she believes the person put too much. My rebuttal was you have to be more careful in preparing food like that for a customer knowing there is a difference. I know you may be confused at why would I still give them 4 stars because as the MANAGER she listened to constructive criticism, offered a solution and made sure I was satisfied. I believe it is very important as a REVIEWER to be honest and fair while also telling the truth along with offering a the solution. Whomever is the owner of this franchise I am sure you may be disappointed with the "24 minute hold time" but you should be more proud of having a manager in place who does damage control and encourages the customer to return for a better experience as well as fix the food again.

I really enjoyed my sandwich. The chicken was juicy and the seasoned fries were delicious. Will be returning for more!

Co-worker kept talking about this place so naturally I got curious... I love fries, even better when it's loaded fries. So I ordered Urban Bird's version of it, named after themselves. It comes with fries, pieces of chicken tenders, and mac & cheese. They had different levels of heat to choose from-- I personally chose Nashville Hot and I really liked it. The kick was great! I've gone back three times already and I'm still not ready to branch out to other items on the menu just because I'm so obsessed with this.

YUM! This place is GOOD. There are so many hot chicken places popping up in htown, and this is the best I've tried! I got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, and it was the perfect amount of spice. The fries were delicious too and had a great seasoning on them! The restaurant itself is pretty casual, and lots go in on their lunch hour it seems (that's what I did). It is quick and yummy! The service was prompt and kind. I plan to be back!

Yum! Urban Bird's hot chicken tenders sando was a great choice for a meal! The tenders came out hot and fresh, and I loved how saucy the sandwich was. Sometimes places can be a bit stingy with the sauce leading to a dry sad sandwich, but this sandwich was sauced to perfection. There was a great proportion of chicken compared to the soft brioche bun. Overall, this is a must try place if you like chicken sandwiches! It's in a plaza, so parking was a breeze. Call ahead to avoid the line and to save time getting this yummy chicken in your belly!

Salted caramel shake $6
Mel S.

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!! Fabulous food, chill atmosphere, spacious, clean. OMG I must start with the strawberry lemonade, best ever! So refreshing, tart, sweet, makes you smack your lips with ever sip. Chicken: WOW, super juicy, beyond flavorful. I got the heat level 1 it was superb! The seasoning like eating mom's fried chicken with a nice very small kick at the end, not too spicy at all. Urban fries: To die for, all home comfort food smothered together with super seasoned fries OMG so worth every calorie! I thought the Mac & cheese would be weird on it but it was just like cheese fries. Delish! Shakes - Salted caramel, loaded with caramel & it's so soothing, not too sweet. The chocolate shake with caramel added, excellent also you can't go wrong. Sandwiches - great bread, crunchy pickles love the sauce it's almost like a thousand island dressing base, perfect. Order everything you'll love it and the huge portions.

This food was de-freakin-lious. Been here 3 times, always slaps. Service is quick and easy. It was clean and inviting. Definitely recommend.

Well Katy...the verdict is in! This Tennessee Hot Chicken is good! Of course I got the mild, no slaw, no pickles, no sauce so mine looks a little boring..but boring was good to me!! Soooo crispy and juicy!! And why would they put it next to Tiffs Treats??? #foreverthickproblems!! Kiera said the waffles are good but not better than slim chicken waffles. But she says chicken at urban's chicken is better! Happy Hour on custard and beer mon-fri 3-6!

Urban Fries - time to eat!!
Christina M.

So let's start this by saying upon entry I felt this place was clean, staff was friendly and welcoming. Menus are at the front handheld or you can look up to the right wall. I ordered the urban fries which come with mac and cheese, fries, and the chicken strips cut up. I thought this was pretty good but I knew I wouldn't finish it bc I couldn't eat all the fries and pasta that comes at the bottom. What I did eat was pretty tasty and I could see why this is their best seller. I had mine with Nashville hot heat and it was medium heat but some of it could overwhelm ur palette and dismiss any other flavor that's their. I'd get this again tho but with a diff heat level. We also had the tender basket with the sweet potato waffle fries and these things were sooo good! Fries were crispy and had a slight amount of salt on them, I mean they were pretty good. The tenders however fell a little short because they were pretty dry. So if I had to base it on this style of chicken I would say cook shack is better. It didn't seem dry in the fries but I did have sauce all over it but again this could be a misstep bc no one else seemed to have this issue.

I ordered delivery and the food was pretty just okay. Food was well packed, however…read more The Urban Fries weren't too bad, although two little slices of pickles does make the food feel stingy for some reason. The chicken tender prices are criminal here, especially at the delivery prices, and it's definitely not the best tenders I've had. I don't rate based on price, but it's at least worth a mention. The spice level was good, however, and what I've expected for Nashville hot. I enjoyed the cup of seasoned corn, although there was one unpleasant bite where it was just char, like just black burnt stuff. They need to clean their grill better! Lastly, the Texas toast you can definitely skip. It leaned on stale and I'd rather used to butter in my fridge. The sliver of sesame on one side was fun, however.

We came in to eat and were the only ones in there initially. After ordering it became very busy…read more It took 30 minutes to get our food and someone who came in AFTER us got his food before ours came out. We watched multiple people walk out because they were told it would take 35-45 minutes for an order of food to come out. Which is UNHEARD of for a fast food joint. When we ordered they asked if it was dine in or Togo which we told them dine in. They proceeded to pack up our food and practically rushed us out of the store. Apparently they value online orders and Togo orders vs the customers that actually want to dine in.

I've never met a Raising Cane's I didn't like but I have met one that continually catches me by…read moresurprise (#1) which is this location, which is just west of Katy. There are a lot of issues here, but most of it stems with their order mishaps, slow service, and portion sizes. All of these things will eventually lead to the theory that the chain is going downhill. The good news is not every location is like this one. I'd ding them harder but I still think overall, they do a solid job with the chicken, which is mostly Cane's quality. There are occasions where the pieces seem smaller or were slightly overfried, but lately they've been doing better with consistent offerings. Not a fan of the significant price hikes as of late, but just about every place is getting more expensive. The glaring issue is going to be their service. From mean mugs to slow drive-thrus (#2), I've also been the recipient of orders were a tender or two was missing. I've been avoiding this location specifically for awhile, but my recent order was solid all the way. (#3) Only time will tell if they can keep it up. ______________ (#1) Puzzled. Confused.

I went inside because I wanted to see what it looked like and how my food would be prepared. Well I couldn't really see the preparation from where Ivstood at the counter. But it didn't take long at all. The nachos come with chicken, sour cream, guacamole, and queso. I assume the salsas are normally out but with Covid, understandably they are not, so I had to ask for it. I was given the red (he said it was pico if I am not mistaken) and green salsa. The green was my favorite, had a Lil kick but not overwhelming at all (I would describe it as mild because I am a spice lover). I did not like the red so I would request only green next time. I live about 20 or so minutes away so I was ready to eat once I got back home. The chips were a bit soft which I think may have been due to the drive home but it didn't take away from the taste. I definitely wished that there had been more chicken and a few pieces were charred, which didn't taste well when you aren't expecting it when chewing. Overall, I really liked the nachos so much so I considered going back for dinner. I took off one star because there could have been a bit more chicken in my opinion. However, you can't beat a decent enough tasting meal with a drink for $5.41 (tax included). I would definitely go again and I want to try more of the combos.

First time trying this spot. This spot was selected by a guy friend for a meet and greet and I'm…read moreglad he selected this placed which was on my bookmark. Service from Avi was amazing. Very friendly and welcoming. We both ordered the Salmon Orleans plate. Which comes with a large ounce of fried Salmon on a bed a dirty rice and topped with a crawfish cheese sauce, which could've had a bit more. The fried had a nice crisp batter. This was delicious and worth the price. I ate from this plate twice. My newly friend also added some sides, of red beans and rice, & Mac n cheese. He had me sample both, I didn't really care for either of them. But i did enjoy the red beans better than the Mac and cheese. The Mac had this dust topping of paprika or cayenne pepper. I'm believe it was for presentation but it was a bit of confusion for me. The strawberry lemonade was extra sweet from what my table guest expressed. I'll def return. I love the wall art of NOLA on the walls, feels as if you're in the city of spirits. My favorite was the voodoo egg rolls $16, which are two large egg rolls cut in halves. Which presented in 4. With one sauce. It was amazing. I def will ordered these beauties again. The menu had space for opportunity. It definitely needs to be updated with deception details like the egg rolls amount. When comes with the salmon Orleans.

Getting to the location was quite easy, parking was super easy as well, it is in a small shopping center. As I went inside, I could smell the food, and I knew it was going to be good. I was greeted by a younger guy who handed me the menu, but fortunately, I already knew what I wanted! Which was one of everything! But, I was solo on this day, so I had to have some restraint! I chose to go with the catfish basket, with 2 filets, fries (cajun), a side of mac and cheese, and a side of their specialty sauce that comes with crawfish! I had an appointment I was going to next, and I didn't think about how long it would take, but fortunately, it didn't take long at all. They drop the food to cook after you order, which I love!!! The catfish and fries were piping hot when they came out. Seasoned just perfectly for my taste! I'm glad I went with the two, so that I could take the other one home for later!!! I don't know how they season the fish, but keep doing what you're doing! I got the mac and cheese, it looked super good. It was cheesy and had the cheese pull that we all know and love. It wasn't my most favorite dish, it was missing a little something. BUT!!! When I added the side sauce with the crawfish in it, it became my favorite! Something about that combo just works! I believe it's the sauce they use in one of their pastas, but don't quote me on that! The sauce I used as a dip for everything, fries, mac and catfish. It is worth getting! All in all, loved everything about this place. It reminds me a little of some of the places I used to go to growing up in Memphis. Family vibe, packing lots of flavors, good music going, and just good everything. Will be back to try more of the menu!
