Do you want really good food but don't want to spend a lot of money? Look no further. The chicken is smoked on premise and you can taste the wood flavor from it roasting on premise. This place is awesome! read more

Cowboy Chicken - Roasted half chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Friendly staff, clean environment but the food was a no go for me. Decided to try the chicken and brisket meal that allows for two sides (Spanish rice and ranchero beans). Chicken was a bit dried out and the hand chopped brisket was not what I've come to learn and call Texas Brisket. Prices are in the mid range ($11-25) for a meal with a drink. Glad I tired it but it's a no go for me next time. read more

Why!!! I love Cowboy chicken and its sad to see it change. Service sucks, the place is a mess, items not restocked/refilled, 4 guys just standing around talking without restocking, tables dirty. I hate seeing such good places be like this. read more

This was my first visit to this location. I remember eating at another location a year or two ago and wasn't impressed. Fortunately I enjoyed this location. I had their daily special which consisted of two pieces of dark meat rotisserie chicken; a thigh and drumstick, plus two sides, a roll and a drink. The chicken was moist and juicy. The side salad was pretty large and my Mexican Street corn was very tasty with a hit of spice. The best part? $10 was all it cost. I'll visit this place again for sure! read more

I don't mind spending $16 for a meal, but at least give me a full meal. Chicken covered a little more than half of the sandwich, definitely wouldn't return read more

Cowboy Chicken - Buffalo chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - McAllen, Texas

I miss the rotisserie chicken I used to get at Boston Market over 20 years ago so I was looking forward to this. I wasn't really hungry so I tried the 2 chicken enchiladas. The tomatillo sauce was tangy as expected. My green beans were good and sweet potato great. I wish more places offered sweet potatoes. My dissatisfaction was with the chicken. It tastes like they baste or inject their chicken with an oily substance that keeps it moist but doesn't taste right. It's like you're not even eating chicken. There also wasn't a lot of chicken in my meal but I saw a picture of it on the wall before I ordered so I was expecting that. Despite that the price seemed fair. read more

We love this place! Chicken done over Oak wood and super fresh! Salads are always great tasting, and the manager(s) down to servers are always courteous and helpful. This is mush appreciated from us. Cowboy Chickennew location, and were so glad that such a healthy option is closer to where we live. This evening we enjoyed a Southwest Salad and three chicken enchiladas with sides of spinach and fried okra! The okra is always fresh and of my favorite side orders. The menu isn't large and it doesn't have to be because what is offered is fresh and delicious. Cowboy Chicken is always clean, too. Again, this is much appreciated for any customer. Returning at least once a week! Earthborn is next door so I can get a fresh Heartbeet drink, too. Great combination for me. read more

Looks like a fast food joint but the food was great. I had the keto salad and small watermelon salad, both were fantastic

Do not sleep on this place! It is amazing! I am on a recent business trip in Texas and stopped in for a salad. This salad was incredible! The chicken was moist and I could drink that dressing. The staff was extremely nice and helpful and the service was attentive. It is a simple place, simply decorated, but there is plenty of sitting room and it is quite clean. They have a cucumber jalapeño lemonade that I liked quite a bit. If you're in Texas and can find one of these, stop in for an inexpensive and incredible meal. read more

Cowboy Chicken - Chicken Salad - Chicken Shop Near Me - McAllen, Texas

So good. I got the half chicken (all white meat) with Ranchero beans and green beans. Big ol' cup of iced tea and grabbed a bottle of bar-b-q sauce on my way to the table. Sat down and my food showed up. That quick. So dig in! Perfectly cooked chicken. Maybe a hair drier than I prefer but with the sauce on it, it's perfect. Ranchero beans had just a little spice on them to remind you are in Texas. Green beans were not over cooked. I will be visiting again. read more

Cowboy chicken has never been dry for the times I've been eating there. I really love the okra. If you want some good rotisserie chicken go here! read more

Hot dang this place is good!! My husband always gets mad when I go to Cowboy Chicken because I could "just buy a rotisserie at the store". Blah, blah, blah. Who listens to husbands anyway? Well this time he found the wings and he hasn't stopped talking about them since! Those wings paired with their delicious sides, absolute perfection! So glad I have finally converted him over to the good side he he he. My favorite is the quarter plate with Mac and cheese and French fries. Best French fries I have ever had, hands down there is no comparison! Go already! read more

While in Mc Allen we stopped by this restaurant for lunch. It took us awhile to find since the gps was taking us in circles in the wrong direction so we decided to just drive around the entire shopping center. We found it finally. It wasn't busy at all and we were greeted upon entering. We ordered two half chickens meals with veggie sides and Mac and cheese. They give you a dinner roll each. They have good bbq sauces. Overall it was a very good rotisserie chicken. We need some in So Cal ! read more

Stopped in here for lunch--little worried because it's a chain, but it was a great place. 1) restaurant and tables are super clean. The staff clears away your dirty dishes (thank you!) and wipes tables. The manager walked around checking in and was watching operations attentively. 2) staff at the order counter was very helpful explaining the menu, and I felt very welcomed. 3) food came quickly and was super tasty. My companion had a chicken sandwich with side of Spanish rice. He said his sandwich was good and the rice was 5 star. I had the Southwest salad with the dressing mixed in already: everything was super fresh, the combination of ingredients was interesting to eat for taste and texture and color, and it tasted great. I walked away feeling satisfied and well-nourished. Great choice for our lunch. read more

Chicken always delicious. Beans are the bomb . Mac and Cheese will get you oozing. The banana pudding? Well ya gotta try it. And don't forget the homemade lemonade, it will help wash it all down. I enjoyed it when I was up north in Wylie and enjoyed it when I was down south in McAllen. I'll be a regular. Cowboy Up. read more

They didn't get my order when I placed it online but the quality of the food is very good. I got their kale salad and was not dissappointed. The rest of my party ordered their lunch deals, the chicken in general is just good. It's not dry or lacking in taste. Their drink flavors are unique too, we ended up upgrading to a larger cup because of that. Next time I'd call to place my order or call to make sure they got it. Time was valuable because it was a lunch date and we were delayed 30mins. read more

Place is new Chicken is excellent But I am partial to mesquite not oak smoked rotisserie Spinach was very good Potatoes needed help they were a little brown - over cooked Ice tea excellent Employees excellent attitude Overall if you are hangry for chicken great place to eat read more

First time to a Cowboy Chicken, and I left overall impressed. The aromas walking in were welcoming, as were the staff. I had a freshly prepared Monterey salad, and it paired well with both the house made ranch and Chile lime dressings I requested on the side. I had a side of mac & cheese, which was solid. The service was prompt, and the presentation was appetizing. As is my routine, I eyeballed other patrons' choices, and the rotisserie plates and enchiladas both looked delicious. I will have to try those on my next visit, as well as save room for the peach cobbler! read more

Annie was simply wonderful and very attentive to our needs!!! The chicken is always amazing!!

Can't complain. The name pretty much says it all. They have chicken and they have sides and they do both of those quite well. Great place to hit up after the gym! read more

Just a so so fast food grilled chicken place. The food was cold when delivered to the table and lacked taste. But the worst of all- the chicken pieces were puny little. Had I known I would have ordered more. A scoop of cold beans and a roll and an anemic looking leg and a thigh that must have been cut in half with the other half given to someone else was not enough to eat. The side salad was fine. I wish I had taken pictures. read more

Delicious Food ! Cashier Leann was terrific! She was very sweet and friendly. Took care of the tables and keep the areas cleaned. Great pricing and atmosphere. The music volume was just right as well. read more

This place had great chicken! I smelled it when I stopped to get some yummy cupcakes next door! All they have is chicken! But the chicken is so yummy and has a nice Smokey flavor to it! The customer service was amazing also! The lady at the front could tell it was my first time there and I'm also new to the area so she really took the time to explain everything on the menu. I got a three piece with corn and twice baked mashed potatoes. I think the total was like 9 dollars. Not bad for a lot of food. read more

Bbq chicken slow roasted. The meat falls off the bone. Ample selection of sides. I had the 3 dark meat plate, mac & cheese and a green salad. Comes with a biscuit and it is a good meal. I definitely will be back. read more

I love this place. Very clean, and friendly service. I highly recommend the corn fritters and grilled jalapeño. The ranchero beans are awesome, and the sweet tea is tremendous. This location is way better than the Nolana McAllen location, and well worth the extra distance (I live in Edinburg). read more

A great place to stick to your keto/low carb diet! What is not to like about being greeted when you enter and leave the restaurant? It'll put a smile on your face, even on the worst of days! The chicken had an amazing rotisserie taste and the sides (my choice was a salad tossed in ranch and green beans) were very good! Also, the aromas of wood-fire cooking can't be beat! read more

Good food, friendly staff. Could be a little cleaner and didn't like the fact that they started the closing process we'll be for their closing hour. Teas and condiments where gone 20 mins before they closed. I believe these places should clean up after they are closed, not while you have customers inside eating.. will be coming back, just a little earlier. Wink wink read more
