The food was tasty and the quantities are huge. We ordered way too much food. The price is equivalent to that of CFA or Canes. I don't know if this is something I would crave but it's a good joint. The music was a little loud but there were plenty of seats. Additionally the food took too long to prepare but we enjoyed it in the end. The Kale Slaw is surprisingly good. The elote fries were also a good choice. Overall, we were satisfied with our choice.

Urban Bird has been one of my go-to spots for a while now, and the food consistently delivers! On my latest to-go order, I got the BBQ Urban Fries (with the fries on the side), which came with mac & cheese, and I added the mild Nashville chicken. Sidenote * they do have different heat levels. I also grabbed a large strawberry lemonade, extra sauce, and a side of Hot Cheetos dust. Everything was packed well, and the flavors were fire. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, the sauces put everything on point, and that lemonade hit the spot. The service was quick and the vibe at this location is always welcoming, even for takeout. I've never had any issues before until this visit. When I got home, my mac & cheese was cold. I called to let them know, but instead of any sort of resolution, I was told, "The chef said the food was hot," while I was literally reheating it in the microwave. I had no reason to lie and didn't wanna go back and forth. I was a little disappointed, especially since I come quite a bit. I just wish the staff had handled that small situation with a bit more understanding, sometimes a simple "we're sorry" goes a long way. Still, this place is a favorite of mine, and one cold side won't stop me from coming back. I just hope in the future they handle things like that with a bit more care. Pro tip: Don't skip the Hot Cheetos dust it takes everything to the next level! That's just my opinion. Just a note to management: small gestures go a long way when something's off. A little acknowledgment or a quick fix would've made this review a perfect 5 stars.

I've been here about a half dozen times and I usually get the same thing each time. The Buffalo Mac hits the spot. It's a large portion and really hard to finish it. The menu isn't the largest but has some good options. The Mac and cheese is creamy, fries crispy, and chicken tender. The commotion of it all makes a pretty good meal. The location is small and only seats about 30 people. Service is quick and usually don't have to wait long for your food.

Well, what can I say. First time and Jeremiah was great at explaining my options. I went with the basket of 2 tenders. One I chose Nashville and the other extra hot. Nashville was the perfect amount of flavor and taste. But for me the extra hot was it. Especially with the Mac n cheese.. man o man. Also the hospitality of Armani. What a lovely young lady. Jeremiah's chillness and Armanis brightness was the perfect combo lol aside from the tender and Mac! I sure recommended and will be back! Looking forward to the location opening up next to my chiropractor on Almeda! Also the shake my son got was on point.

As a chicken stan -- you read that right, stan not fan -- I was very eager to try Urban Bird. I even told my cousin we ought to have dinner here after we both got off work. I've grown to love Nashville hot chicken the past few years, and I was thinking this place would make me love it even more. Wrong. First off, it's common knowledge that when a customer is served the fiery poultry, it comes to them literally hot. Like straight out of the fryer. I got mine lukewarm at best. Second, the spiciness was underwhelming at best, MIA at worst. I finished my order, but it was because I was famished. My cousin didn't enjoy his order either. According to him, his was served cold. He also felt the staff was incompetent. We both agreed that Raising Cane's was way better. At least I got to watch the Astros pound the Twins on the lone TV here.

We decided to order this In and it was so fresh and hot. We tried the chicken and waffles, the urban sandwich, and the special fries with Mac and cheese on it. Everything was so tasty. The chicken tenders were very meaty and fresh. The sandwich was huge and so good. The Mac and cheese was heavenly and the crinkle fries were awesome. Everything was so fresh and tasty. The coleslaw was fabulous and all the sauces were great. Nothing better then getting a to go order and the food being hot and fresh when you get it home. Great job! We will be back.

If you're a fan of Nashville hot chicken like me, you gotta check out Urban Bird Hot Chicken - Webster, TX ! They are Veteran owned and operated. They just recently opened up, but have locations throughout Houston. I've tried them before and have been patiently waiting for this location to open up. We came in the evening and we were able to order and sit pretty quick, even though the place was slightly busy. Customer service was great and management checked on us frequently. On to the food! They have a variety of things to choose from such as tenders, sandwiches and a bunch of different fry creations. I went with the Urban Fries which was a huge basket of perfectly crispy and seasoned crinkle cut fries, two large chopped tenders, Mac and cheese, sauce, and I substituted jalapeños instead of pickles. This meal was so delicious and comforting and I enjoyed every bite. I wanted my tenders spicy and they suggested the Nashville Hot which had great flavor with just the right amount of burn. My dining companion had the tenders basket and she loved her meal as well. They also have desserts and delicious flavored lemonades as well. I will definitely be back!

Finally had a chance to try this place out. I was craving some hot chicken and fries and what perfect place then a hot chicken place? They have a few interesting takes on fries and the elote fries is definitely what caught my eye. My boyfriend got the tender basket and he got it in the medium hot level? I forgot what it was called, but it did have a good kick! Not terrible, but perfectly spiced. Now, going back to my fries... it was really good. I was worried that the fries would end up being soggy since we ordered it for delivery, but to my surprise, the fries were still hot, fresh, and crispy. The crema and the cotija cheese with the chipotle aioli drenched over the bed of fries and with the chicken tender... it was just a perfect blend of exactly what you would expect from a dish of elote fries. They give you a generous portion too! And I just dived right in and loved every single bite. Definitely recommend this dish! The chicken tenders were also very good, but the fries were where it was at for me. I'm hoping to come back and try their other fry dishes!

LOVE DAVES HOT CHICKEN!…read more I won't drive by a hot chicken place and have scored a bunch all the way into Nashville. NO ONE touches Dave's. From counter service, facility cleanliness (regardless of location), speed of service and food quality frankly no one is close." Flavor profiles across spice levels is awesome. Even the pickles beat everyone else! I've eaten at dozens of Dave's, never had anything less than a five star experience.

I finally tried this Dave's Hot Chicken location…read more It's spacious with ample seating inside. First time I visited, which was about a month ago, I ordered a 2 medium tender combo with cheese fries through the drive thru and everything was absolutely perfect. The drive thru line also didn't take too long. Long enough to know your food was gonna be fresh but fast enough to keep you from getting impatient. A nice lady pleasantly assisted me. My second visit , last week on a Fri or Saturday evening, I started in the drive thru line and there were several cars ahead of me plus the line was moving at a glacial pace so I backed up and went inside. The wait inside took forever. The lady ahead of me must've had a zillion modifications. A kind teenage boy who had trouble finding a few things on the register assisted me. I dined in, had a beer while I awaited my food. I had nearly finished the beer when they called my name and when I got my food it was just above room temperature. I could tell the food would've tasted just as good as it did during my last visit had it been served to me at thee correct temperature but it had obviously been sitting out for a bit. I also noticed a couple people who came after me got their food ahead of me. It'll be a while before I return to Dave's. I need to get back on track with my usual healthy eating habits and my sub par second visit to Dave's fortunately killed my Dave's hot chicken craving.

As far as fast food chicken goes, I thought Bojangles on Bay Area Blvd was a great experience! I…read moretried Bojangles for the first time just recently because of all the hype I had heard about it from East Coast people. What used to be the old Genghis Grill location, this Bojangles definitely gives Raising Canes and Layne's a run for their chicken tender money. This location is pretty spacious, clean interior, fast drive thru, and had plenty of parking too. I missed the name of the guy I talked to at the cash register, but his service was great and you could tell how hard of a worker he is. I tried their 4 piece tenders, chicken sandwich, biscuit, dirty rice, bo sauce, house made ranch, and their new blackberry cobbler. The chicken is crispy, well seasoned, and larger than the other fast food chicken tender competitors. But the main thing I'm coming back for are those BISCUITS! By far the best fast food biscuits at any fast food restaurant, it honestly beats some actual restaurants too. The only small critique was that I didn't care for the dirty rice too much, it was just a little bland, and the blackberry cobbler was way too sweet. Otherwise, I'll definitely be back again! I want to try their mac n cheese and peach honey pepper sauce. Enjoy!

It seemed pretty quiet but it was an early Saturday so I wasn't alarmed. Soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a smile and a question of our first time at the establishment. I let the manager know I'd been before but only on the East Coast and he proceeded to let me know that BO had decided to change the menu for their Texas visit. Already, i wasn't impressed with that change but we decided to get some tenders and sides. Mac & Cheese is really good but could have been hotter as in temperature but great flavor. The chicken tenders were decent but I could have gone with better flavoring? one huge downfall is that they do not sell "bone-in" chicken....yeah - they lost 3 stars with that decision!! all in all, it was decent but wouldn't beat out any of the other chicken places around Houston. Probably won't go back again because I wasn't really impressed and they're just not in my daily route.
