I've lost count of how many times I've been here, so this review is long overdue…read more Yes, it's inside a gas station (Pitstop Express), but don't let that fool you. Some of the best food spots hide behind gas pumps, and this is one of those spots. The chicken stays consistent every single time. Finding good fried chicken in Houston is strangely harder than it should be, so I usually end up frying my own. But here? The chicken is seasoned, fried fresh to order, and just... good. Like, no gimmicks, just good chicken. Ordering is simple: place it at the counter, pay at the register, hand your ticket back, and then wait about 15 minutes for your food. And they've got fried okra, which always hits. The cooks keep the vibes up. It's all takeout; no seating so while you wait, browse the snack shelves. You'll probably spot something you haven't seen since childhood (depending on how far back your childhood goes). They also serve breakfast but Ive only had the chicken. This is definitely a go too when simple wing craving kicks in and I don't wanna cook.

The waffles and chicken was so good...the kale salad also made me feel healthy after a morning workout. I was able to split the spice level on the tenders and the heat was manageable on the Hot Chicken. The cinnamon butter on the waffles brought the house down with comfort. The service was also very nice. The ordering process was easy and the staff was able to explain the menu when we had questions. I did receive a small percentage off my order for military discount, I forget what it was exactly, but the friendliness and ambiance made it extra worth choose Cookshack for lunch!

We got the Com Ga and some Coconut Jelly Che to try and they were delicious :) The Com Ga came with some soup and a ginger fish sauce dipping sauce. The chicken was soooo juicy and tender, the rice was probably cooked in chicken broth, and the dipping sauce was addicting. The soup was okay, it was very very sweet though (probably MSG). The coconut jelly dessert was great, it was refreshing and I'd probably try the one with avocado next time. My family tried their other food before, but they said the Com Ga is still the best one. All the soups/noodles dishes are really bland and lacking for them. Service was great. There were 2 young guys working at 8am on a Sunday morning, big ups to them! The food did take a while though I'm not sure why, it wasn't even packed. Definitely give the Com Ga a try!

We visited on a Saturday around 8:30 pm and were seated right away. The place was lively but still had some open tables. Service was quick and genuinely great throughout the meal. We ordered enchiladas and the chicken, which is their specialty. The chicken was incredibly fragrant and juicy. While it didn't quite live up to how I remembered it from years ago, it was still very good. It might have been because we came a bit closer to closing time, but overall it was still satisfying. The sides, Spanish rice and refried beans were delicious. And the chips and salsa were fresh and flavorful. Overall, still a great spot that's worth coming back to.

The food was okay, the refried beans were good, the guacamole is good, the charro beans did need some salt, the rice was okay. The chicken is another story. The chicken did not look like the pictures on here and it definitely was not grilled. It looked like unseasoned raw chicken. We had to put it in the air fryer to get some color on it. We were on the hunt for a new chicken place, but I just might forgive our usual spot after this. I'm done trying to replace it lol.

Completely wrong as in something cheaper than what you ordered. Cashier (maybe the one stealing) at drive-thru never gives you a receipt. What is really sad was that I was the only one at that location literally in the drive-thru or inside. What is even worse was that incorrect chicken served was totally inedible. It was a greasy overcooked old shitty food. Very disgusting. Arguing with the cashier or manager was fruitless as they claim it was correct. Someone must be stealing from that location because the wrong food given was intentional.

I waited for several minutes until I had to ask if they were ready for me. Someone else answered and said "No. And if you want to order, you have to wait at least 30 mins. because we don't have chicken right now." I understand it's fast food and expectations shouldn't be high, but at least let me know you're not serving anymore, instead of making me wait for nothing.

I got the fat doobie but i substituted cheesesteak meat instead of the chicken tenders and regular ranch. It was awesome. The bread is very tasty and each ingredient is, itself, a worthy side food. From the mozzarella sticks to the Mac to the onion rings. The meat was great, too. My wife had a burger and honesty just such a solid burger, good char on the meat, great flavor and the bun was toasted and the right mix of a little crunch on the perimeter and softness.
