    Babe's chicken house is always a party for 1 or with family or friends. They have delicious chicken, chicken fried steak, tenders, fish and unlimited sides plus delicious fluffy biscuits. The service never disappoints and if it's your birthday, they always make it special. The dimmed lighting makes it cozy whoever you are with. If you have never been to a babes chicken house, you are missing out. It's always a special place to make memories with your loved ones.

    Always good food- always tasty - always "on" - always good with customer service and a smile, with a clean and comfortable restaurant! We cannot recommend Babe's enough - if you are in the DFW area - you really must take time to visit if you like home cooking and you enjoy fried checked or Chicken fried steak ...

    Love their salad

    Our dining out speaking organization booked the John Gault room for our group of 20 attendees. Anabell & Claire, our assigned servers took care of us with military precision. They got all the drink and food orders taken and made sure they hadn't skipped anyone, even the late arrivals. We loved the tables in the private room. They had lazy-Susan's built in. The veggies were put on them and it was easy to spin them around for serving. Our group had an incredible time, and we can't wait to return in the future.

    Fun times

    Love coming to Babes! Fried chicken with unlimited sides that include mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, salad and biscuits all for $19.99pp. What else do you need? Atmosphere is fun and country homie feeling. Service is always great and quick. This location is good for large family gatherings. Enjoy!

    Green Beans

    The sides were horrible. I'm not sure what liquid the green beans were floating in however it was too dark for my liking. The corn was either cream of corn or whole kernel but I wasn't sure. As for the mashed potatoes and biscuits they were ok. As for the entree it was the best thing they have . The catfish was good and so was the chicken strips. The parking is ample as well as the seating. Perhaps this place works for others but for me they can stand to do better with the sides.

    This was thie first time I've been to this Babe's, and the last one I went to was many years ago - so I had forgotten a lot. First of all, it was packed full of people at 5 pm on Sunday - and there were a LOT of large parties (greater than 6 people.) I noted that they required all members of a party to be present before seating. Thankfully, my party was just 2 people, so we were seated immediately. The atmosphere was lively and boisterous, and the music gets turned WAY up at 6 PM. Due to the industrial nature of the building, sound carries, so it's pretty loud in general. There is no menu - they carry 5 items plus sides, and they are served family style, all you can eat of the sides. I got the Chicken Fried Steak, which was tender, tasty, and delicious. Sides included cream gravy, green beans, mashed potatoes, corn, and biscuits, and they were all yummy as well. My favorites were the biscuits and the corn The service was fast, but courteous. It's a fun place to take the family for a special occasion. I'll definitely be returning.

    Mashed potatoes and catfish

    Whoaw what a service this guys and gals give! As you enter in your warmly greeted and even with a big party they do not miss a step. Food: the catfish was fresh and the chicken was crunnchyyy. I love the family serving style atmosphere. Sides: it was okay. I think that the mash potato was from a powder- it could use some texture. Like the green beans and the corn. The biscuits are delicious. The place was nicely decorated and not too much to the eyeballs. I also love the live singer.

    First time at Babe's and it did not disappoint. The menu is short and simple: there is no menu! Your server reads you the entree options and everything else is unlimited family style. This includes beans, mashed potatoes, cream corn, gravy, biscuits, and salad. We ordered fried chicken, smoked chicken, chicken fried steak, and fried catfish. Pretty much everything. Very large outdoor waiting area. The interior is initially dim with many tables and seating in extra rooms. Our server was very sweet and efficient! I loved her bedazzled Babe's shirt lol Overall we had a good time! Biscuits were soft and pillowy. Fried chicken had a good crunch to it. Only nitpick was that the chicken plates and green beans were a little on the salty side. Would definitely come back~

    Salad and biscuits
    Jenna H.

    My husband and I really enjoyed it. The chicken was amazing. Sides were pretty good and gravy was sub par. Our server was attentive and nice. Very loud and busy.

    This was our first visit to the new NRH location. The food was better than I remember. My wife and I had the chicken fried steak and my daughter the fried chicken, accompanied by mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, gravy, and biscuits. The meat and sides were great. The decor is redneck as it gets, with an added Christmas pop for the holidays. ;-) The service was excellent, no complaints. The only thing preventing me from returning too soon is my waistline. But we'll be back eventually.

    The food and service at ANY Babes is ALWAYS GREAT! When I go to DFW it's one of the places I have to eat at every single time!

I read…read moreother Yelp* review of Juicy's, and was dying to try it, so I checked their hours and headed over around 2PM in the afternoon. When I arrived, there were no cars in the parking lot and it looked closed. I went up to the front door to see if there was a note but all that was posted there were their normal hours. Based on that, they were supposed to be open. Not a good start. I posted about this on Facebook, saying it looked like they were closed for good. A friend of ours replied the next day that she had moved down the street from Juicy's and she saw the restaurant open for business that day. I headed over again and they were open. Soul Food, Comfort Food, Home Cooking, whatever you want to call it, that's what they're serving at Juicy's with a large side of FRIENDLINESS. I grew up in south Texas, so a bowl of pinto beans with a piece of cornbread is a meal I love to this day. However, I was craving chicken, so I ordered the chicken plate (you can specify 4 wings) with mashed potatoes w/brown gravy and pinto beans (of course). Have you noticed that most dining out today is underwhelming? It seems to me the restaurants are using cheaper ingredients. Everything tastes bland. BUT NOT AT JUICY'S! The meal hit the spot for me. The wings are "whole wings," meaning there are no "drums" and "flats." Each wing at Juicy's is BOTH PARTS. It's the whole wing! I was full after just three but Bonnie grabbed the last one to "keep it from going to waste." (I think she was keeping it from going to MY waist...) The beans reminded me of my mom's pinto beans. The brown gravy on the potatoes reminded me of my grandmother's gravy at Thanksgiving. The cornbread was almost like cake. Even the music was great, featuring R&B and blues. We found ourselves humming along to the music as we feasted on the food. We're definitely going back.

What I wasn't expecting was for the food to be so bad. I ordered the hot slider with fries. The driver thru worker asked if I'd like Dave's cheese sauce on my slider. I asked, "Would you recommend that?". "Absolutely!", he responded. I take my food and pull off to the side for a quick lunch. First off, there's so much "cheese" on the slider that it is impossible to pick up. I ditch the saturated bun in favor of the knife and fork. Crazy bland, sub 7-11 type "cheese" sauce drips from the sides if an oversized chicken finger. Then it hits you...SALT! Followed by an unpleasant wave of heat. Couldn't decide which was worse as they both simply dominated the chicken. Either way it rendered the slider completely inedible. I chose to forgo the fries.

Today we decided to dine in for the first time. The food and service were good, until we received the bill and noticed a surprise $11.99 "vegetable plate" charge. When we asked about it at the front counter, we were told it was because "one person can't eat for free" since we only ordered one meal. I understand some restaurants charge a split plate fee or have minimum ordering policies. The issue is that this was never mentioned by the server and wasn't listed anywhere. A simple heads up would have avoided the frustration. On top of this they don't actually serve you the vegetable plate they are charging you for they just charge you extra for not being able to eat enough. Had we known, we likely would have ordered two chicken dinners and taken the extra food home. Ironically, we didn't even finish the single plate we ordered, which is exactly why we only ordered one meal in the first place.

I'm glad I checked it out because it was easily one of the best fried chicken experiences I've had, especially for the value. The price was fair, and the portions were gigantic. I got the biscuits and gravy along with the fried chicken entrée, which came with four pieces of chicken, gravy (again!), and sides. Everything was very satisfying. The folks working there were also very friendly. They reminded me of the humble, hard-working people I grew up around back in the day. There's a nostalgic, feels-like-home kind of vibe here that made the meal even better. I was more than satisfied with both the food and the service. Highly recommended. As a side note, because the portion was huge, I asked for a to-go box. For some reason, they didn't have to-go boxes at the time and gave me a small plastic bag instead. I'm not sure if that was a one-time thing or some kind of no "to-go" policy, but it didn't affect the overall experience.
