After ordering for dine-in we waited for 45min with no food....people who order after us got their food... we asked about our order but said that they were cooking chicken...wife's tray was sitting on the counter for at least over 20 min... we finally asked for a refund after waiting for 45 min with no food, and then they offered us food. We just wanted to leave, so we got our money and went to another restaurant to eat. Also, the drink machine ran out of ice. No one would fill it up. Everyone either got no ice in their drink or had to continue to ask the girl in the front....overall not very well ran restaurant and very disappointing for a night with our baby while grandparents are babysitting our other children.... read more

Chicken is seasoned well and it's very moist, even the whit meat. The shredded brisket was also moist and seasoned well. It did however lack the smoke that I expected from the luring aroma that brought me in from the parking lot. The sides were hot but left a lot to be desired in the area of flavor. The staff is very welcoming and provided awesome customer service. I'd do it again. read more

First of all this place is very nice and clean. The service is horrible. While placing my order I was interrupted by someone I assume was the manager I did not say excuse me just a moment please. Let me go back. Upon entering the restaurant I was asked to come to the counter when we did we were asked to wait because they were taking someone else's order. So we started over again. The folks were dirty I got four different for all of them had food residue on them I Benchley in the asking for plasticware. The place is nice but the service is very very very lacking please go to the other crap about chicken locations if you want good food and good service. read more

See all

First time customer at the Forney location, and it was excellent! Chicken was cooked perfectly and was very tasty. Reminds me of El Polo Loco and Juan Polo. The banana pudding is out of this world. Fries were good as well. Have not tried the brisket yet as it is way too pricey right now. We will definitely be ordering from here in the future. read more

I love this chicken. This is my go to for the chicken, street corn and creamed spinach. It's not always perfect, but 9 out of 10 times it's great! read more

I ordered the whole chicken with sweet potato and it was delicious and hot when it got to the hotel I was staying in. Recommend and will order again when I am in the area!!!!! read more

We love Cowboy Chicken's family meal. The twice baked potatoes and banana pudding are so good!

I ordered 3 barbeque chichen sandwiches, for my family dinner. All of the sandwiches had old chicken on them!! I wasted my money, we were afraid of getting sick from the food so we didn't finish it. I will not be eating at this place again!! read more

So happy to have one of these in forney. The chicken is great and good for you! They have some pretty good sides too. Its one of the few places where you can order a healthy meal and get it fast. The manager and employees are always nice too I normally order the half chicken but my girl friend got the enchiladas and inhad a taste of them. I was so surprised at how great they where. The sauce is so god I can drink it . And I know mexican food. read more

A pleasant surprise! I decided to try out a place I haven't been to before (I think). Read the reviews, decided on the enchiladas and mac & cheese. They both had great flavor and I'm leaving here satisfied. I love/hate it when I try someplace new and really like what I chose to eat, because I want to try other things, but man, I really like this! I'll certainly be back, I'll try to branch out in the future. read more

Cowboy Chicken - Chicken Enchiladas, Mac & Cheese... Very good! - American Near Me - Forney, Texas

Went thru the drive-thru for a salad...even tipped. Whoa! There were two long-blond strands of hair in the salad. It's really simple Cowboy Chicken...HAT or HAIRNET! read more

I just ordered two simple plates and got home and nothing was what I ordered. The facility used to have great service and good food, however the restaurant needs serious cleaning and updating and is very dirty. Not to mention poor service! After many years of eating there...I wont be back! read more

I really did not like the food or the service. I wish I could leave a better review but I can't.

I have to say the chicken is roasted and extremely good and for $11 bucks for a whole cook bird is well worth the stop and also thought the potatoes were good .My wife loved her brisket tacos . read more

We just moved to town, and decided to give Cowboy Chicken a try. This was our first visit, and unfortunately it will be our last. We arrived on a semi-busy evening. We didn't wait in line very long before we placed our order. We were given a number and sat down to wait for our food. We watched everyone else get their food, there were two larger groups that came in after us and they got their food first. There was only two of us in our party, and we literally waited an hour. For a salad, and a half chicken with two sides. I can't rate the food because we gave up. We went up back to the counter and got our money back. The manager offered a free meal for next time, but the whole experience was pretty terrible, we won't be giving Cowboy Chicken a try. I'm not sure if they were short staffed or it was just poor planning, but they need to get it together. What a waste of a Friday evening. We're kicking ourselves for not getting out of there sooner. read more

I've been back here about 4-5 times just to make sure that it just wasn't a bad day... I've been extremely unsatisfied EVERY SINGLE TIME! This time I went to try their enchiladas.. Just take a look at the picture.. it was extremely salty drenched in sauce.. read more

Cowboy Chicken - 2 Enchiladas - 553 cal. - American Near Me - Forney, Texas

The service and quality has gone way down hill since they opened. It took us 17 minutes to get our order and when we finally did it was cold. And who makes a pb&j for kids using cracked wheat toast?! I mean besides west coast freaks... anyway, it used to be a good place to eat but I'm tired of Forney restaurants coming in good and then going to crap. It's a management problem. Hire people who know what customer service is, not just some local yokel who walked in with no experience. Rant over read more

The guy at the register checked out the woman in front of me and then turned and ran in the kitchen and never came back. I paced up and down the counter for sometime before anyone acknowledged my presence. If not for having placed my order online I would have taken my money somewhere else. I won't be back. read more

it doesn't matter what time of the day that I go, the service is always on point. Terrica is amazing. She is always smiling and always in a good mood. Vincent the manager is welcoming and makes sure that the orders are to perfection! I don't live in Forney but I make sure to have lunch here or get dinner on my way home. read more

We've been big fans of Cowboy chicken for years. We used to live near another location and frequented it often. This location in Forney is the worst. While the employees are friendly the wait for food is always extremely long even when the dining room is empty. We've tried ordering ahead only to get there and they misplaced or order. Today we tried the drive through. Two cars ahead of us and we sat there for 20 minutes and still had not given our order so we left. It's rotisserie chicken and sides that are made in bulk there shouldn't be the long wait times. read more

OMGEEEE.... This place is so awesome!!! 10/10 I highly recommend. My husband and I are from California passing through and found this place. So glad we stopped. read more

Great concept but the place always falls short of bringing it all the way. Here are a few examples.... Forgetting items when delivering. Sending unsweetened tea when ordering the delicious watermelon or peach tea they offer. (Seasonal) Sending unsweetened tea after speaking to manager and you pick it up and verify with employee handing you the tea.... Will not accept deliveries due to not having enough staff... (I called to find out it was a staff issue. That was after I spent several times thinking there was a computer issue.) I am certain that issue has not been fixed. Last but not least... Photos attached! RAW AND I DO MEAN RAW PEACH COBBLER. On a good note, best green enchiladas you can find! Too bad you have to risk losing at least 10$ worth of food or drink by ordering with these guys. read more

Cowboy Chicken - Raw, this was nothing but flour dough taste in one bite and then severe sugar in another. - American Near Me - Forney, Texas

UPDATE 1/4/17 Went back tonight. Ordered a side of green beans along with a meal and a salad. The green beans were not included. I called and asked if I can get them next time I'm in. I was told yes, but kind of a bummer! More items are scribbled off of the menu this time.... Review 1: A couple weeks back, on a Sunday, I planned to have friends for Sunday lunch. We all love Cowboy Chicken, so we decided to order instead of cooking. I called at 11:30 to place a pickup order and was told they would not be opening until noon. Very weird, but ok- I call right at noon to place delivery order and get put on hold for 12 minutes, call back, get put on hold again, call back and finally at 12:38 place my order. We are told 45 minutes for delivery, so we go to pick up. We wait 10 minutes, I kid you not and are then told that some of the items we ordered have been discontinued. What?! So I order replacement items as we are trying to feed 8 people, but the worker acts irritates that I want to add to the order. Another 15 minutes before we are able to leave and they left dressing for the Large salad out of the bag. It's 1:30 by this point. Wow. I went back yesterday and items are scribbled out or covered with paper on the drive through menu. No more grilled chicken either. Not sure what's going on at Cowboy Chicken, but not sure I'll be back. Might give one more try. read more

I have came and ordered about 8 salads in the past 4 months? Or so. The first couple times they have forgotten my dressing. This is drive thru. I startef to mention I wanted the salad on the side to make sure I get it. Of course I am the person who doesn't check the bag but I stil make it home with no dressing. read more

The $30 deal that supposed to feed 4 didn't have enough chicken. Sides were good and fed everyone but chicken def was not a lot of meat mainly bone. read more

I tried this place for the first time today. As you enter the building you go up to the counter and order your food, then get your drinks and sit down. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with two sides. ENCHILADAS These are chicken enchiladas and they don't skimp on the chicken! Inside were large pieces of juicy white meat. The sauce itself makes it for me. It's a creamy, green tomatillo sauce with hints of citrus. Oh, and the chopped cilantro on top was a nice touch. I'd definitely order these again. SIDES The macaroni and cheese was great. I prefer mac and cheese that isn't too "soupy" and this was just right. It looks like it was finished off in an oven pan because there were areas with delicious caramelized cheese. I also got the twice-baked potatoes that were just okay for me. Just seemed a little plain. OVERALL, I enjoyed eating here and am glad to see it as a new addition to Forney. The service was friendly, speedy, and the building was clean. read more

I just ordered through delivery the 5 piece drumstick meal. When I opened the box - no celery, no dipping sauce - paid over $9 for below average meal. Will not be ordering again. What a disappointment when I got home.... read more

The chicken was dry all 3 times we went. And the sides were just okay. It makes me think of a country-style Boston Market. My sister and her family love it, though. So, you should try it for yourself, but maybe stick to a dish where there is a sauce to give some moisture to the meat. read more

My first visit here was not the best experience. The wait was long and there were not many people in the place. A friend and I went around dinner. She got the enchiladas and I got the half chicken with two sides. After waiting ten minutes for the plate to come out, I had to send my plate back because the green beans were burnt. They didn't bring our food out together. My friend got hers 5 minutes before me. She wanted to wait on me but I insisted for her to start.The chicken was okay nothing to brag about. I probably give it one more try before I give it the boot. read more

I got carryout from this location, so I can't speak of ambience or anything. But, based in the food, I'll definitely be eating there again. I had the chicken enchiladas with a side of black beans and creamed spinach. The enchiladas were awesome. It had like a sour cream/tomatillo kind of sauce with a little kick to it. They were delicious. The portion size of everything was great. The sides of creamed spinach and black beans were also delicious. The whole dinner was like $8.00 and it was definitely worth the money. I'll be back. read more

The food was only ok for us. The chicken was good but a little dry like it had been sitting out for a while. Sides were not that good. I got fried okra and baked potato hashbrowns. Service was great, there sweet tea was way over sweetened. I was not the only complaint on that. Just wished this place was better. read more

Cowboy Chicken - 1/4 chicken plate white with potato casserole, baked mac and cheese and dinner roll. - American Near Me - Forney, Texas

Food was pretty normal BBQ fare. It was good, but average. I had the chicken, green beans and mac n cheese.

They were really short staffed tonight but Jose, the cashier, was calm and respectful. He managed taking and running orders along with refilling drinks without a hint of stress or frustration. read more

I love this place, it's always my go to for delivery choices (there aren't too many to pick from in Forney). Fresh,friendly and fast. The sides and salads are amazing! Chicken is good too! read more

Cowboy Chicken responded with exceptional service and great food! I had planned to use another local restaurant until they dropped the ball and left me scrambling to provide several people for a luncheon. Fortunately I tried Cowboy Chicken and everything turned out fantastic. Everyone was impressed with how juicy the chicken was and how delicious the campfire veggies, Mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, and beans were. I will defiantly continue to support Cowboy Chicken! read more

This location was out of chicken salad and chicken enchiladas ALL day according to the manager on duty but that didn't keep them from taking orders for pick up and delivery for these items. Didn't let us know until we arrived for the order. Call ahead before u waste a trip. read more

Visited the Forney location yesterday. The drive thru was not operational; however there was not a sign stating that. I pulled up to the window waited about 5 minutes in the drive thru to be instructed to park and go in to order. Parking was very limited, but I parked went in and ordered. This whole process took about 15 minutes. The food we received was edible, but not good. I will not be returning to this location. There are better choices in the area. read more

There is no taste whatsoever to describe this chicken. It taste like chicken that was cooked and then thrown into a box like "here you go". I mean Walmart rotisserie chicken is WAY BETTER than this. Maybe I expected way more and that's my fault read more

Love coming to cowboy chicken! I always order the quarter white with twice baked potatoes and mac and cheese! The twice baked potatoes are amazing! In fact when I was in two weeks ago I order both my sides as twice baked potatoes! Never disappoints! Friendly service! Love the watermelon iced tea! (I believe it is seasonal) Great job y'all! read more

One of the only places that delivers out to our neck-of-the-woods and we were in No Way disappointed. Their chicken was so tender and flavorful. We thought the name was a little odd when we moved out here a few months ago but their food was fantastic. Can't wait to try their enchiladas. And since they deliver (and it was pretty quick too) they've got my vote! read more
