    Half spicy chicken 4 Tender Dinner
    Eric T.

    Chicken Express is one of those fast food restaurants that are mainly found in rural cities during your drive between big Texas cities. I have been enjoying chicken express ever since the first time I tried it. They specialize in chicken tenders, and there are many homestyle sides to choose from like corn nuggets, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, fried okra, and jalapeño poppers. Each meal also comes with the choice of a biscuit or a roll. My go to order here (don't judge me) is the liver combo. I like to enjoy this with the corn nuggets and the fried okra. Normally the meals come with one side and one drink, however, you can sub the drink for another side. Chicken express will not blow you away, however, I think that it is very delicious for being a low-key dirty, not eye-catching fast food chain. The chicken strips they make are made of white chicken breast, giving it a nice fresh taste. All of the tenders are nicely, crisp and fried, and the oil does not taste like old oil at all. Btw, spicy tenders is the way to go! Chicken Express will always hit home for me. If I'm ever on the road and craving a nice unhealthy fast food meal, this is the place I'll be. Service has also been nice and ambiance is as good as it gets.

    The Chicken served here is really good and they are one of the only places you can get fried chicken gizzards or fried chicken livers. The service is always fairly quick and the employees are always on top of the job and very friendly. I have always used the drive through, but the dining area looks really clean and there are always people inside, so it looks like a comfortable place to dine in if you want. The inside looks like it has a very nice ambience for those that want to dine in.

    Not mashed potatoes

    Usually this hoe hits, but today they screwed up my order and left out my mashed potatoes on BOTH my boxes. SMH 1 star. AND they left out the damn napkins

    Supposed to be a #2 7 Express Tenders Combo

    Chicken tenders for the win! Really good fried okra too, basically if you need a high fat meal, this place is for you!

    If you don't mind cold food this is your place. They fry up the chicken and fish way before you order so it is cold.

    Why, Bojangles? Why are you trying to be Cane's with your chicken strip-only menu? And why the hell…read moredid you drop the apostrophe from your name? Ugh! I can't speak on the ambiance of the dining room, because this was a to-go order. Despite that the website -- based on my location -- showed bone-in chicken as an option, the lady at the drive-thru was polite in delivering the bad news. That said... This joint was out of mashed potatoes at around 6:30 on a weeknight. These are instant potatoes. Why? The mac & cheese was OK; the slaw was better than most, because the cabbage wasn't finely sliced; and the dirty rice was somewhat flavorful but gummy. If the biscuits here are "famous," it's only because they are spongy. I made better biscuits when I was a 12-year-old on a Boy Scout campout. -- The chicken strips are fine. Nothing memorable, but served fresh on my visit. The management at this location isn't the greatest. Perhaps they were having a bad day. More importantly, the person in the corporate marketing department who decided that bone-in chicken shouldn't be an option in this neck of the woods might want to collaborate with colleagues at other chicken chains that have realized great national success AND include strips on the menu. But, if you look at the history of Bojangles, you'll see that this company has passed through more hands than a deck of cards at a poker table. Good luck enjoying the offerings here.

I decided to drive the 30 minutes to try based on it being chat grilled and other reviews. I pulled up to what looked like a former fast food restaurant with a drive thru and thought "oh no, it's fast food?" I parked and ordered anyway. The interior is very mom and pop and the dining room and rest rooms are in need of an update. I ordered the 1/2 lb burger and a small order of fries. When my food was ready the cashier called my number and i picked up from the counter where it was placed. I was directed to the buffet bar where I can get lettuce, onion, and mayo (along with a few other toppings). After seeing the layout of everything I was not sure if my order was going to taste like what I drove 30 minutes for. When I tasted the burger it was definitely what I was looking for and definitely 1/2lb! The fries came seasoned with some sort of seasoning which I don't really care for but were tasty. Overall I have to say, this place had a good char grilled burger and fries and the price was very affordable. If I stayed in the area I would definitely recommend. Good job to the two workers who were there.

I…read moretried Bojangles for the first time just recently because of all the hype I had heard about it from East Coast people. What used to be the old Genghis Grill location, this Bojangles definitely gives Raising Canes and Layne's a run for their chicken tender money. This location is pretty spacious, clean interior, fast drive thru, and had plenty of parking too. I missed the name of the guy I talked to at the cash register, but his service was great and you could tell how hard of a worker he is. I tried their 4 piece tenders, chicken sandwich, biscuit, dirty rice, bo sauce, house made ranch, and their new blackberry cobbler. The chicken is crispy, well seasoned, and larger than the other fast food chicken tender competitors. But the main thing I'm coming back for are those BISCUITS! By far the best fast food biscuits at any fast food restaurant, it honestly beats some actual restaurants too. The only small critique was that I didn't care for the dirty rice too much, it was just a little bland, and the blackberry cobbler was way too sweet. Otherwise, I'll definitely be back again! I want to try their mac n cheese and peach honey pepper sauce. Enjoy!

They are incredibly transparent on their food process and ensuring people with allergies and restrictions are able to eat their food. The food is fresh and you can taste it.

The vegetable samosas are also my favorite in the area! They create an in-house sauce of brown sugar with spices, and it is my absolute favorite sauce I've had with samosas. It's better than chutney or tomato sauce. The sweetness and spices are perfect with the savory flavor of the samosas. The aromas of the varieties of spices light up the atmosphere.

The chicken kadai was very flavorful with lots of spices and aromatics, and the rice and naan were both good. My husband also had a mango lassi, which was silky and delicious. Prices are affordable, and it's a great option if you're sharing with family. Overall, a very good experience.
