    Not too busy...
    Hal S.

    On our cross country road trip we happened upon Bush's Chicken.... We thought we would give it a try since we're always on the lookout for some tasty fried chicken. The girls liked their chicken sandwiches, French fries, and sweet tea, and my son and I liked the tenders (especially since they come with gravy for dipping). The pepper poppers are pretty darn tasty, too. Honey, hot sauce, and catsup are all on the tables, so that makes things easy. Unfortunately, the service isn't the best. There weren't many customers in the place (one other table of two), and the drive-thru was slow, but the four girls working kinda called out to us as food and drink items were ready so we could walk up and get them. Might have been nice to have them delivered to our table since they were just kinda hanging out behind the counter. The restaurant is pretty clean, as are the restrooms. The food was good enough that we might give Bush's another try if we come upon one again sometime.

    Only in Texas...Bush's Chicken was our lunch stop in Fort Stockton while driving from El Paso to San Antonio. Since I was tired of the usual fast food eateries, Bush's Chicken was an easy choice for us. They are a Texas chain with locations only in Texas that serves up big and tasty pieces of plain fried chicken. They don't need to use 11 herbs and spices like their competitor. Nor, do they have a spicy version of their chicken unless you add hot sauce to it. They kind of reminded me like Church's Fried Chicken before Church's started offering a spicy fried chicken. Their rolls that comes with the chicken are buttery and addicting. The employees were friendly. One of the employees told me after I picked up my order that if I didn't like it, they would give me a refund. I liked it. Bush's Chicken was a good stop for a quck lunch. No refund required.

    Terrible meal. Look

    Ordered 6 piece tender. Got 4.5 pieces . Plus a $5 tip for shitty meal. I hope they see this review.

    $10 for this, it was okay but not for $10

    If you happen to get tired of waiting a millennial for your chicken at KFC then come on over to Bush's expensive Chicken store. At least you get fresh chicken here and in a timely matter but be prepared to pay double oh and I forgot to mention they sell too as well. I usually get the three piece dinner for $10 gasp! But at least you have a good selection of seasonings on the table waiting for you and even a half smile at the counter. If you can get over the boyfriend and girlfriend at the counter kissing and feeling on each other while you are trying to mind your own business then you've got it licked, I'm pretty sure the manager know since he's walking around all the time but you're here to eat right? Just consider it a sideshow and move on. The place is clean as well as the restrooms unless it gets busy then it might be a different story but three out of the four times I've been here it has been pretty much quiet so everybody else must have died waiting for their chicken at that other place and did not make it here, rest in peace. Parking is ample and you do not have to dodge falling signs here, only wish there were falling prices but we'll see how that goes.

    Not sure on taste haven't tried it yet. I'm hopeful. Yet, hygiene was my first observation and a clear concern. Young woman was mopping floors, sweeping and then went straight to serving food. Asked manager if she was going to wash-up. She did, yet I heard her say "why". Dear Lordy, this is kinda scary.

    I was pleasantly surprised how good this chicken is, your biscuits are great, the gravy not so much, the gravy I've had better elsewhere, but overall I would definitely come back

    Very disappointed, low quality food. Have been driving for miles and miles from California. Decided to stop here and try this. Chicken is pale af, fries are ok, gravy (no flavor). The strawberry Fanta tasted like cherry candy but no carbonation. Come on guys, step it up, change the menu or something, almost 10 dollars for a 4 piece tender meal. The service was good though. The food was not.yall need a new menu!

    When you're on long road trips, and time is of the essence, your dining options are limited…read more Especially late night. This was one of those situations. I stopped by Sonic on a Saturday night. It was a bizarre experience on multiple levels. I saw a sign about Sonic off of the highway. What's annoying is that the fast food joint is actually a few miles down rather than being right off of the highway. Not off to a good start. Ambiance (4/5): Sonic has the old school drive in diner vibe which is cool. A blast from the past. I used the drive through to place my order. Service (1/5): This is where things got weird. I placed my order and the amount I was quoted seemed a bit high. When I paid, I wasn't given a receipt. They also didn't give me my change. I have never seen that happen at a fast food restaurant. I should have said something, but I was tired and decided to let it fly. I'm not saying this is happening, but it's a possibility. For customers paying cash, maybe they overcharge a few dollars. Plus keep the change. And put something else in the computer so that the employees can cheat everyone out of a couple bucks. That multiplies after some time. Maybe it was an honest mistake. Just a bit shady. Drinks (N/A): I had a drink in my car, so I passed, but typically, getting a drink is a must at Sonic. Some of the best drinks in fast food. They're known for their slushes and cherry limeades. Next time around. Food (4/5): I ordered the mozzarella sticks (medium), fries with groovy sauce, and a corn dog. A dinner of champions. Not many fast food joints have mozzarella sticks so that was nice. For fast food, the mozzarella sticks were quite good. Nice pull factor on the cheese. And marinara sauce for dipping. I didn't know what groovy sauce was but I rolled with it. It's essentially a thousand island sauce. It may be an upcharge (I don't know 100% because I didn't receive my receipt). If that's the case, a little weird because sauces are pretty much always free at fast food restaurants. Last but not least, the corn dog was solid too. Not something you typically see on a fast food menu either. It made me feel like I was at the rodeo. All of the food seemed pretty fresh (and not sitting under a heat lamp for a while as you'll get with some fast food). While the food was pretty solid given the circumstances, the service left a lot to be desired.

On my most recent one, I stopped by Burger King on a Friday night. Ambiance (N/A): I used the drive through. This location is connected to a gas station. Service (4.5/5): Pretty much what you hope for during a drive through experience. There was only one car in front of me, my food was ready promptly, and the cashier was nice. Drinks (N/A): I didn't order any beverages on this visit. Food (3.5/5): Burger King is about mid-tier in my fast food power rankings. There are some things I like and some that I don't like. As a pro, their original chicken sandwiches are solid. They have a unique taste to them (in a good way). And a unique shape for a chicken sandwich (also a good thing). It's a simple sandwich but a classic. On the flip side, I'm not a huge fan of their fries. And a major way that you judge a fast food joint is the quality of their fries. I'd take McDonalds' fries, Whataburger, Chick-fil-a, Wendy's, etc. over BK. I ended up getting two original chicken sandwiches and two medium fries. I had a coupon which is another pro for Burger King. They often have coupons in newspapers. $7.99 for my haul was pretty awesome for a meal which ended up lasting me for two.

As I was getting hungry, I saw a sign for Carl's Jr. on the highway and proceeded to turn my right blinker on. Ambiance (3/5): It's a fast food restaurant. You're not going there for the ambiance and I didn't dine in. I ordered through the drive through. Pretty much what you would expect. Service (4/5): I placed my order, paid, and the cashier asked me to pull up a little past the drive through and he would bring my food to me. It came out in the timeframe I would expect. The only hiccup? No napkins or ketchup in the bag. Drinks (3/5): Your usual assortment of soft drinks. I went with a sweet tea. Food (3/5): We all have our power rankings when it comes to fast food. For me, I'm a little ambivalent about Carl's Jr. It's about in the middle for me. I do like their commercials though. This time around, I went with the chargrilled chicken sandwich (swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon, and mayo) combo with waffle fries. The waffle fries are an upcharge and are only available in a medium size, not large. I'll take waffle fries over regular fries any day of the week, even for a small upcharge. The chicken wasn't bad. It was charred nicely. The bacon was a little limp, but overall, it did the job. I enjoyed the waffle fries the best. They were fresh. They had not been sitting under a heat lamp for a long time which is always a risk at a fast food joint. For what it is, Carl's Jr. makes for a decent late night selection when you're on the road.
