I love this place. I live just a few blocks away and I thought I had already wrote a review, but no. First off their chicken is the best rotisserie ever. It's fresh, unlike other places where you wonder how long it's been sitting or if it's warned up. Not here! So fresh and moist you won't believe it. Prices are really reasonable as a whole chicken is around $8-$9. You can get the plates or buy a family meal. Our favorites are the okra, macaroni, and the double baked potatoes. I haven't tried their cookies but they look amazing. The help is very nice and attentive. Sweet tea is relish. Highly recommend if you haven't been. Really, what are you waiting for? read more

First time eating here, would be 5 stars but the twice baked potatoes were very dry, and only lukewarm. We both had the special which was 2 dark pieces of chicken and 2 sides for 6.99 sick was a good price but they get you on drinks 2.99 for tea. Creamed spinach and corn fritters were very good,make sure you ask for a side of ranch which tasted home made. Now the chicken was a hit, very moist and plenty of flavor . We didn't care for the green beans or the rolls, they were cold too. read more

The food here is good. But the service is not. I had gone to order some chicken and I was told it would take 20 minutes more to cook the chicken. So I ordered enchiladas instead, thinking it would get done much faster. 40 minutes later they haven't even started it. Ridiculous. 20 minutes for the chicken but more than 40 minutes for enchiladas? read more

Good enchiladas, great half or whole chicken chimi churri is ok nothing too special all in all.

Cowboys Chicken wood fired chickens are awesome! The $4.99 lunch special hits the spot. The chicken is well seasoned and has delicious crispy skin and the meat falls off the bone. My favorite sides are Mac n cheese, ranchero beans or fried okra. Highly recommend! My 3 year old even loves the chicken. read more

Tried this restaurant again and I must say... It was a lot better!! Less crowded and the food was so good!! I tried the chicken enchiladas.. They needed more chicken but the sauce was so tasty!! Mac n cheese was delish too! It's a healthier option around town so will continue to go there read more

My fave rotisserie chicken! Sweet potato and grilled green beans are so fresh! Feels like home cooking!

By Far The BEST Cowboy Chicken I've Been Too. The Food Is Amazing. I've Tried Everything On The Menu & The Chicken Is Very Juicy, Falls Off The Bone, & Never Burnt. All The Sides Are Fantastic. My Personal Favorites Are Their Green Beans, Baked Sweet Potato, & Corn Fritters. They Even Have Tortilla Soup, Chicken Tacos, & Quesadillas Which Not All Cowboy Chickens Serve. The Staff Is Super Friendly & Even Greet You When You Come In. The Restaurant Is Clean & There's Also Free WiFi. I'll Definitely Come Back When I'm In The Area.! read more

Terrible and rude cashier to start!!! Chicken served to my mother was not fully cooked. Juices were still running red. We told an employee and he just shrugged his shoulders. Did nothing about it or offered to replace it. They allowed a person to come into the restaurant with his dog, numerous times. We've always had a good experience, up until yesterday. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE SERVICE. read more

Their rotisserie is amazing and should definitely be tried. However their salads are a different story.... So dry and had a terrible flavor. read more

The food quality is so so. The area of the utensils/sink has a bad smell. The man at the cashier seems apathetic, little rude. Customer service is so so. And I hate they have Fox News and CNN I the TVs! The place should improve the cleanliness, customer service and remove political programs in their TVs. Also improve the quality of food, the restaurant is located in a decent area of McAllen but the food and service is like in a rural area. read more

The chicken here is phenomenal. I will admit that I've only had it in a salad (the reason I only gave it four stars... need to try more!) but it was amazing and the rest of the salad complemented it well. read more

Great local restaurant with wonderful service and hot made to order food. I came twice in the same week. I got the 3 piece dark meat the first time and chicken enchiladas the second time. I've tried 4 of the sides. The green beans that were tasty, the Mac and cheese that was very moist (although I would have preferred more cheddar flavor), the ranchero beans, and my absolute favorite, the cucumber tomato salad. Loved that salad. So fresh with cilantro and a dressing I wish I could buy. You need to try this place. You won't be disappointed. read more

I'm always reminded of how much better this place is than other chicken restaurants. But for some reason I don't crave eating at this place. Like the fact that they roast the chicken there. Nice selection of sides and drinks. read more

I ordered chicken breast and ranchero beans to go. The beans were delicious. I was hoping for a bit more grill flavor on the chicken. I did enjoy it but wish there were better price deals on combos. I've also had the green chicken enchiladas and really liked them. I'd like to return and try other items on the menu. read more

The chicken is soft and juicy BUT I thought it could've used a bit more seasoning but it can be just personal preference. The sides are very good.

Have been there one time and never went back. Chicken is dry...bone dry. Nothing really special here at all. Maybe the cobbler was good but still pretty average. read more

Was our first visit and the food is tasty , fresh and everything we needed was in the to go bag ( we did not know beer and wine were served or we would have eaten in ) . The restaurant was clean and inviting . Now let me tell you about the staff the most pleasant I have encountered lately in McAllen ,I told my husband that if the food is half as good as the staff is then we have found a new favorite chicken place . Please keep up the good work . read more

Tomato cucumber salad is awesome. Service was fast and friendly. Watermelon tea is delicious. Easy peasy. Inexpensive. Awesome!

Food was amazing chicken was juicy. Mac and cheese was great. Cashiers are very friendly they know their menu.

Cowboy chicken is the only good thing about McAllen Texas. Chicken enchiladas are amazing and I don't even like enchiladas. Everything is cooked to perfection and flavored perfectly. You really don't need to put any salt, bbq, or hot sauce on anything because the flavor are already perfect. Only thing I did not like is the Spanish rice. Kinda mushy like mashed potatoes. read more

Both Cowboy Chickens in McAllen have the best chicken I've ever had! I usually eat the lunch special with okra, the kale salad or rachero beans. Also, of course, the delicious cobbler with ice cream! All very yummy and healthy. Food is reasonably priced. The customer service is excellent! And the owner is VERY caring and attentive to me! read more

If you need a great place for lunch, this is the place to go. Service is quick and great, very reasonably price food with extremely generous portions, and everything on the menu is great. The wood fire rotisserie chicken is great. My wife's favorite is the chicken enchiladas. read more

Best chicken in the valley period. The portions are large and the meals are hot. Very good value for the money and the Watermelon Iced Tea is the best. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more
