I'm not just saying this I mean it. This is hands down the best chicken I've ever had the luxury of eating. I orders the half order of urban fries with lemon pepper and the extra hot tender sando. Their seasoning as hot is it was was full of flavor. Their bird sauce was so good I got some to go. The staff is very polite and willing to answer any questions you have if it's your first time. I've been twice this week. Definitely will be a mandatory stop every time I go to texas. Go try it you'll fall in love with this place. P.s. their lemonades are amazing!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Prime example of paying for quality. $4 per tender sounds steep, but once I bit into it, there were no regrets. I got 1 each of lemon pepper, bbq, mild, and nashville hot, each with ranch and hot honey, and also a half order of the Tijuana fries. The fries were first, and they were aaaaawesome. The flavors from the lime, corn, seasinings and sauces were all present in the profile, the fries were cooked perfectly, and with a little ranch to balance out the lime (just a dab, not too much), it was worth EVERY bit of 8 dollars. Not much meat, which is something I look for, but it's rare that the flavors are so good that I can overlook it like I did here. The mild was my favorite flavor of tender, but the nashville and lemon pepper weren't bad either. I think theres a seasoning they use in the bbq I don't like though, I wont get it again. 27 nucks for everything, but I got full and had the satisfaction of knowing I didn't pay 10 bucks for a crappy burger from mc donalds, and even popeyes can't hold a candle to them. Getting tired of corpratized, cheap fast food, this was a pleasant change of pace. Good to know quality flavors are still out there to be found among the slop we're served in the major establishments. Music sucks though, and corporate doesn't let the workers turn it down. Need to change that lol. Wait was a bit long, but well worth it, and the server was nice.

Karisma is super great at customizing my order just the way I'd like it and her service is impeccable and with that said I will definitely keep coming back for other thought of creative ideas. The Tijuana street corn sweet potato fries hit differently with a drizzle of Honey pepper.
