    Corn nuggets

    I love chicken express!! Great service, plenty of seating, clean restaurant, and good food. My fave is their fried chicken legs and corn nuggets- so yummy!

    One of the best and affordable places to get fast food fried chicken. I wished they had locations in Houston. I got the COMBO #4 TWO PIECE CHICKEN. I heard that Chicken Express has some of the best DR. PEPPER. Random but I can vouch that it was pretty good. The large was 32oz and I finished the whole thing. For my side, I got the CORN NUGGETS. The breast and thigh were way bigger than I expected. They were tender and had an extremely crunchy breading. My friend got the 4 piece tenders. The fries were nice and crispy and even though he isn't a fan of gravy he really liked the white gravy it came with because it was super peppery. Their sweet tea is diabetes. It's a little overwhelming. I recommend mixing unsweet and sweet tea to even it out. This would be one of my go-to places to go for fried chicken but alas I will just have to enjoy it when I'm in a town that has it.

    Manager posing nicely. I said I wanted a photo to document my return. I thought he was nice, but man in gray shirt to his right got angry.

    Asked for chicken tenders meal but got chicken on a bone meal instead. And they shorted me 1 piece of chicken of that, plus getting mostly wings and legs. Of 6 rolls, 3 look like someone sat a heavy box and flattened 3 of them and were trash at best. Asked for large fried okra and didn't get any. One mashed potato looked like it had a thumb indentation in it. I called about these errors as this was a drive thru order by my husband. He was upset saying they got the order completely wrong, and DIDN'T LISTEN TO HIM. He bought the chicken out of love for me and felt his efforts were thwarted due to so many mistakes. I wanted my husband to feel better. I was not upset as I understood mistakes happen, and although disappointed, was not angry and would allow the restaurant to remedy their mistakes. I called before eating at home and was told not to worry about coming back anytime soon, to come back in at my convenience. Just bring my receipt and explain what happened and they will make it right. I am chronically ill and disabled, getting out only once a month as it is a hardship on my body. So, the next day after running errands, I went inside with my receipt and explained what happened. A nice but resistant blue shirt manager in photo wanted me to go home get all the food left and come back a 3rd time with remaining food plus my receipt, only then will he will support my claim. I said that's not what the woman on the phone told me when I called the day before. I said it was an inconvenience and asked if the restaurant reimbursed for gas for 2 extra trips to get our order right? He said no. So I said I would go home, eat some chicken, and bring back the rest for a full refund since they don't refund for gas or inconvenience to customers when they get the order wrong. He said he would only refund for what we returned, nothing more. Despite the fact we were shorted on pieces of chicken and other items we paid for. I said I would take a photo which the nice blue shirt manager posed for. I said I would post a public review online. Then things turned ugly as an employee guy in a gray shirt to his right ordered me to delete the photo or he would call police on me. I said he didn't know the law, this was a public space, and I had rights to photograph and post this photo which he posed for. Then angry gray shirt employee ordered me immediately to leave the restaurant or he would call police who would put me in handcuffs and arrest me dragging me out of the restaurant. I said shame on you three times. A table of three customers witnessing the spectacle started strongly clapping loudly and boldly for me trying to hold this business accountable. One customer strongly clapping, a woman, stood up applauding for me defending my rights at being bullied and threatened out of the restaurant without resolve. (To me, the restaurant was in violation of the law via Theft of Services, and/or Assault by Threat.) I was deeply moved by the strangers public display for me. Their support was both verbal support and loud clapping gestures. They even stopped eating their food and stood up applauding me. If nothing else, I felt vindicated by these three customers. I smiled and waived to them thanking them. The woman standing told me to call my bank about what happened, and I thanked her again telling her I would call them. I started towards the door and nearly tripped on a rug that was upended. Then I heard someone say get the he// out of here, and turned around to see who said it. Then I heard someone say I hope you trip and break your neck, again not seeing who said it. But I replied, if I do trip and hurt myself, you know who I will be suing. I then walked over the rug and got in my vehicle with my receipt and no missing items or credit, no resolve, only threats and bullying, and then I drove home. Had they simply made things right as promised over the phone, I was going to purchase an additional large family fish dinner to take home. They would have had my extra cash, my trust, my future business and my respect, as well as a good review from me to post with this picture in the community. Instead, they made a foolish greedily motivated spectacle of themselves to me in front of other customers, as well as bad conduct to witnessing employees. They lost a loyal patient customer for life in me, (and possibly other customers who witnessed the threats, disrespect, and treatment of another customer.) They lost my respect and instead gained this sad review showing how their simple mistake can get turned upside down. What it looks like from the shoes of a customer who came in expecting a harmonious resolve to a simple matter as human error over food. Hurting customer relations​. Is this what our world has come to? Note: No hard feelings by me against company or employees. The manager in the blue shirt is harmless in the assault against me. The man in the gray shirt turned a public conversation upside down. To all, I forgive.

    Spent the day at Texas A&M and had to go get Laynes for lunch!…read more One cannot go to CStat and not get lunch at Laynes..Canes and Zaxbys do not compare.. However, I will say that all the chicken tender places since Covid went from their signature large tenders to half size smaller tenders. Not sure why or why they never went back to the larger size tenders after Covid. I ordered a 3 piece and you can see how small the size of the tenders are and I remember when two of the tenders would of equaled 1 tender before Covid. The service was great, the tenders were hot and fresh since made to order and the fries were crunchy. Nothing wrong at all with the service, taste of the food, the only complaint is how tiny the tenders are now. With all that said of course I'll still go to Laynes and glad we have one in Houston by my job.

I was quite impressed with the texture, breading, and seasoning. It wasn't overly greasy and spice level hit the spot. Temperature: we dined in to experience the freshest chicken strips possible. It did not disappoint. I think I burned the roof of my mouth on the first bite but it was worth it. Presentation: nothing to praise but no complaints either. See the photo and judge for yourself. Ambiance: small and cute. Nothing nice about it but fairly clean. Staff: friendly but not over the top. The verdict: Chick-Fil-A is still #1. Then Layne's. Then Raising Cane's. Yes - in my opinion - Layne's beats Cane's. And all 3 are way better than Whataburger and Dairy Queen. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself!

Of the several times I've come here, I've had Christian as my server and he's one of the better ones in the Pluckers family. He's kept our drinks filled, informed us of specials when asked, recommended sauces for first-timers in our group, and promptly check on us to be sure we got everything we needed. He also makes sure my app is scanned for check-ins and remains patient with me despite my child-like nature to ensure that QR code is scanned when I'm in. He's a solid Pluck-star! 2. Food tastes/quality is consistent and delicious. Obviously you'll be here for the wings which are some of the better tasting ones compared to other wings spots (and even some other Pluckers locations) as they have the right amount of crisp and juiciness. And they aren't shy about lathering in the sauces. I had the Dr. Pepper here for the first time on the advice of a person in our group and it might be my second favorite flavor (Bakers Gold is still the GOAT of Pluckers sauces). I also had the pleasure of finally trying the Holy Mac for the first time and HOLY S***, is it good! Good crispiness and dipped in some of that sweet jelly/chili sauce, it's proof anything fried will be delicious if done right. I heard you can also toss it in a sauce upon frying; definitely gonna do that next time I'm at any Pluckers. 3. This location has a very impressive atmosphere and layout. There's tables and booths on your right when you walk in, followed by more tables and hightops on your left with the bar tucked in center-left with surrounding tables and multiple tvs adorning the bar area and all around the walls for your sports-watching pleasure. The outside patio has an "ice-house" type feel with plenty of benches/tables and a large flatscreen to watch A&M play or whatever major game is on. 4. The specials! One time we were here was during MArch Madness and they advertised free margaritas when a texas team wins. Well three texas teams (UT, A&M, & HOU) played on opening night and all three won which means..... 3 Free Margaritas! Christian was our server at the time and had mentioned it and as soon a team secured victory, he'd give us a look where we nodded and our margaritas would arrive a few minutes later. They allowed us to try different flavors (i.e. mango, classic, strawberry, etc.) and all were tasty. Plus it tastes much better knowing they were free! Shout out to UT, A&M, and HOU for the freebies! It's always a pleasure coming here for the food, the vibes, and knowing you'll have a good time. Not to mention the special things Pluckers does so you can get free stuff. Don't' forget to get the app and become a member for the challenges and complimentary eats/swag as well!
