Salads were just ok. Not sure I would recommend or order again. Chicken was a little bland.

Got this place for lunch at work and I think the best way to describe it is mid. It's not amazing but if I was hungry and it was in front of me, I'd probably eat it. I think my favorite was the mash because it had a chunky texture which I appreciate. Their bbq sauce is also good (not sure if it is made in house or bought) and definitely helped with the overall meal. Green beans on the other hand I would not get again because they lacked flavor. read more

Cowboy Chicken - Brisket Plate - American Near Me - Wylie, Texas

I came here to get dinner to go for me and my Dad. We ordered the half chicken with green beans and sweet potato. The service was great. I didn't order ahead of time but the wait wasn't long. As I waited I took pictures of anything that I thought I could share. The ambiance is much better closer to the rotisserie. You can feel the warmth of the flames and smell the delicious chicken cooking. Watching the chickens as they slowly turn is mesmerizing. Don't forget dessert. The peach cobbler is delicious read more

Not a fan of Cowboy Chicken. I would give it 2.5 stars if I could for their general chicken, but 2 is accurate for the salad I tried last time. I find it extremely overpriced for the quality of food here. I ordered last the salad with chicken here, and I literally couldn't finish it. The greens were old and the chicken felt unnecessary dry. It just didn't taste fresh. Servers forgot my dressing on the side request but were nice enough to help when I went back to the counter. It can get really loud in here if it's crowded because it's a small dining area. So much better to just buy a rotisserie chicken from Costco at 1/5 the price with more flavor too. read more

We've been loyal chickens since the day they opened (especially when they closed down the one closest to us). It's been worth the commute, our go-to spot for fresh food on the fly!! Who can say no to rotisserie chicken and tasty sides? The Cowboy Chicken app rewards make it worth your time; we've saved a lot of money with free drinks, free sides, or money off. Sadly, after our last two visits, the new menu changes (and the people working at the counter) have left us a little less excited--and likely not coming back any time soon. read more

Cowboy chicken is all over DFW, and we finally decided to try it out for dinner. My husband and I have an unspoken agreement that if we take too long to decide on dinner, we pick a random restaurant in the area we haven't tried lol. Casual counter order establishment. Theres only 1 associate manning the counter, but they had 2 large tablets available for you to order and serve yourself. They bring the food out to your table once it's ready. It's finally getting cooler in Texas, so we sat outside. Additionally, inside of the restaurant smelled like bathroom cleaner and was not appetizing at all! I ordered the half chicken (dark meat) meal. It comes with a roll (bread), and 2 sides. My sides were Mexican street corn and mashed potatoes with gravy. I am not sure if my starvation biased my taste buds, but the food was delicious! I was shocked at how low the restaurant was rated, but was pleasantly surprised. The Mexican street corn is not as great as your mom and pop Mexican restaurant, but it wasn't bad! I loved the mashed potatoes and gravy! Such a comfort food. The half chicken was delicious. The chicken was juicy, and seasoned well (It was a tad too salty for me). read more

First time ordering for delivery and didn't get my green beans. Peach cobbler a cheap take off with a high price. Chicken very small pieces. Sweet potato was good so 24.00 later not including delivery fee read more

Casual, large, clean facility, with counter service. Easy to spot along FM 544 in Wylie, TX, with parking on 3 sides. Outdoor seating, with possibility of shade, and curbside delivery parking spots. Many types of chicken dishes made here, with a variety of sides. Salads, enchiladas, sandwiches, tenders, wings, etc. Brisket is served also, and a number of veggies as sides (including french fries) No alcohol, but Iced Teas, and Lemonades. Catering, and Family Meals, and Delivery for orders over $15. For $42 (plus 5 tip) we had Four Tenders & 2 sides (drink is extra). Also, Pulled Brisket Sandwich & 1 side (drink extra). I also sampled the Chicken Enchiladas (2) which came with 2 sides. Dinner Pro: Chicken Tenders (Honey Blaze) Sides Pro: Mexican Street Corn, Pro: French Fries, Pro: 1/2 baked Sweet Potato Dinner Meh: Pulled Brisket Sando, Chicken Enchiladas Sides Meh: Ranchero Beans (too watery, cold) Might as well chop the brisket. Some of the bark that made it into this "pulled" brisket was tough as nails, long as nails. The chicken breast meat in the 2 enchiladas was dry, not seasoned. The Tomatillo Cream Sauce was savory, good flavor. Ranchero Beans had a good flavor, but served in a low cardboard "dish" and watery, they went cold quickly. Beans are so cheap, why skimp? Staff was pleasant, the self-serve area was clean & stocked properly, and a variety of seating allowed for comfort. A flow of delivery drivers (no uniforms) were picking up food orders. I will return to try a salad, and some of the Rotisserie chicken. And more of the baked Sweet potato! read more

Every single food item is SO good and it is like that every single time we come. Place is always clean and well maintained. New management is doing a FANTASTIC job! Y'all gotta check it out!!! read more

Food is so good! Very flavorful and fresh! The okra and chicken is the best around! Great customer service from Kyiesha, Liyah and Jaiceona.

Food? It's chicken! Service? Well, they bring it out to you, though you have to bus your own table. Ambience? Needs sound deadening. However, I had a major problem with food safety tonight. Two pieces of metal in the beans. I could tell these were metallic since they stuck to the magnet in my iPhone. I brought that to the attention of the "manager" and he said, "oh". No, this is a major issue and you should consider tossing your entire serving pan of beans! Nope, he was too busy. read more

Cowboy Chicken - Metallic debris in the beans - American Near Me - Wylie, Texas

Chicken was undercooked which would explain its temperature when brought to the table. Roll was hard and the green beans were just blanched green beans, which I guess is fine (add seasoning to your preferred taste). The best thing on the plate was the sweet potato and even it was cold. The 2-pc special used to be the best thing they had going, but now even that's bad. read more

Ordered online and went to pick up a whole chicken that was so overcooked the wings were hard as rocks. The sides were horrible. Soggy fried okra, yuk and I threw the gravy away. It was gross and I paid .75 for a cold stale roll that also went in the trash. The only side I could eat was the plain mashed potatoes that tasted like they were made from instant flakes. Kinda like kfc potatoes. I won't go back. It's not cheap the girl behind the counter acted inconvenienced that I was standing there waiting Forgot to mention how bad the single peach cobbler was. Also not edible. It was soggy bread with a couple of canned peaches in it. To me, peach cobbler should be more like peach pie with a crust. read more

I ordered from Cowboy Chicken for the first time today. Chicken was well seasoned & moist. The green beans were seasoned with salt and pepper, which is fine, and I'm glad they weren't canned beans. The rolls were soft but a bit doughy on the inside, maybe a tad bit underdone. The Spanish rice was okay, not authentic Spanish rice, but I'm sure you figured that, still decent. The best part of the meal was the chocolate chips cookie. OMG! Ooie gooie melted chocolate chips, chewy cookie, I loved it! This meal gave me Boston Market vibes. I would order again when craving some grilled/baked chicken, and I would order those chocolate chip cookies EVERY time! read more

Good food and a healthier option would recommend to anyone looking for something a little better than run of the mill fast food

Ordered a peach cobbler for Thanksgiving. Picked up the day before and it was pure chaos. The employee working the register was lost and worst of all, the cobbler was terrible. It was already baked so i reheated in the oven. The crust was like bread pudding, not pie crust. It was soggy. Wasted $40 on a pan of "cobbler". Very disappointing. read more

Stay away from the bbq chicken sandwich, taste like yesterday's chicken smothered in bbq sauce. Real bad

We have been die-hard CC fans since the first time we tried it. So it's not surprising that we ordered from there for our family Thanksgiving dinner. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! We ordered the $155 At-Home Turkey Package, described as Hot or Cold turkey breast, choice of potatoes AND side, stuffing and rolls. The internet photo shows a pan of turkey breast slices, mashed potatoes, dressing, green beans, gravy and rolls. We ordered it, specifying mashed potatoes and green beans. WHAT WE RECEIVED was a pan of chunks of turkey breast with two giant turkey wings (none sliced), TWO giant pans of crumbled dry cornbread (not dressing), a 1/2 inch deep pan of mashed potatoes with finger poke marks throughout, and no green beans. I phoned and was told that the dressing WAS the side and green beans would have been extra. Truth in advertising? hahahahaha. It's hard to imagine how they messed this up so completely, but the fact that they DEFENDED it is just egregious. We won't EVER make this mistake again. And our out-of-town guests won't be looking for a Cowboy Chicken in other Texas towns. I repeat, WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! Lash M. read more

Spent 30.23 and the chicken is dry and the sweet potato did not come with anything to add to it like butter or sugar. The roll was cold. I do not recommend this place. Food came out in 3 minutes. read more

Speed of fulfilling orders horrible. I came to this cowboy chicken because very close to my home and I emjoyed when eating at restaurant near home. The wait time will make me probably never stop by this location again. Food looked tasty and prices reasonable. Lots of people waiting for orders (ordered online), so must be a family favorite with many. Such a shame because I was truly looking forward. read more

So disappointing before my order was even taken. First impressions matter! I am truly disappointed that I took the time out of my day and money out of my wallet to visit the Wylie Texas location. The cashier seemed disinterested in my business from the start... and annoyed when I asked for a water cup. I should have gone next door right then. The person who brought my order at least smiled and OFFERED to make my experience better. She saved this review from being completely negative. BBQ Chicken wings were dryer than expected - no unique flavor. Compared to other locations- sad to say...I won't be back, given other choices nearby. read more

I used to eat at Cowboy Chicken all the time, but we moved pretty far away. Today, I had a craving, so I made the drive, and hate say I was disappointed. I ordered the three piece dark meal, and there was no skin on any of the chicken. The skin was the best part! Also, you guys changed the mac n cheese recipe. It used to be so cheesy and unique. Now, it is very bland, and more milky than cheesy. What a let down. read more

I am obsessed! I absolutely love this place! Everything I have tried has been amazing! read more

Cowboy Chicken - American Near Me - Wylie, Texas

This place is horrible!!!! I had an order for pick up the night before thanksgiving so I decided to show up early. I figure it would be a bit pack since people were also picking up thanksgiving orders. The minute I walked in and asked one of the employees where to go for pick orders she rolled her eyes and said she didn't know. Not only did I have to wait almost two hours but was treated like cr@p and completely ignored especially by the supervisor and manager. They walked by me for almost two hours and not once was I asked what was going on. I felt discriminated and humiliated by this so call managers. Finally, when I got my food, it was thrown in a box with cheap foil paper on top so not only was i an hour late for my daughter's birthday dinner but the food was all over and the enchiladas were dry and just not like the ones they normally serve. Since like I mentioned before close to closing time, it looked like they just made my order quick an threw it in a box. ( my pick up time was 730pm and closing time was 9pm.i I left this place feeling discriminated and in tears. I was one of the first ones in line for pick up orders and the one the left close to 9pm they helped everyone and ignored me completely. Even a customer that showed up at 830pm for pick up left before me. When I asked the so call manager about my order and told her I had been there since 7 pm and everyone before/ after and all customers got their order but me she said well I have been here since 7am and I am not complaining and when she gave me the food she smiled in a cocky was and said have a lovely evening. Not one apology just laughing at me pretty much. Never again! This place needs better management. read more

Food is good but the staff is more concerned with getting to-go orders ready than the customers who are eating in the restaurant. They told me my food wasn't ready and let it sit on the counter a good 15 minutes before attempting to bring it to me. I had to go to the counter multiple times to ask about my food. Pathetic! read more

Meh. Good prices, chicken is good, but it came out barely warm. They literally have a spit of roasting, rotating chickens so I'm not sure how that's even possible. Twice baked potatoes are AWFUL. Like... one of the worst things I've eaten in a LONG time. My daughter actually spit them out. Fried okra was good, green beans were chewy and lukewarm. Rolls weren't warmed through and slightly stale. I'd maybe come back and try some of the other dishes like enchiladas because cowboy chicken used to have really amazing food... maybe it's just this location. Either way, not impressed. ‍ read more

So we walked and no one at the register. They were getting some orders together. Great team work right. Well I notice a screen at the counter asking to put in a name for your order. So I put mine in and started my order. I have never been here so I thought thats how they operate. A lady walked up behind the counter while putting orders together and said " that is for slam chicken" she said loudly. Like I have a clue what that is. I asked what is that "slamChicken" she repeated loudly . I said I have no clue what that is. She said it's different from the menu in the screen. Another lady walked up to the register and proceeded to take our order. We ordered. So the first lady was rude and treated us less like we were stupid because we had no clue what the hell that was. The food was good. The rotisserie chicken was about the same as any grocery store carries. The sides, bean snd Mexican corn were really good. The price of 32 for it wasn't worth the price. We did get a chocolate chip cookie too. It was good. Get your chicken at Walmart and save a bundle. read more

I was so looking forward to eating here, but I walked in and they were installing order for yourself screens. Frankly the employees didn't look thrilled about it either. read more

Cowboy Chicken - To go side - American Near Me - Wylie, Texas

NEVER AGAIN. 2nd visit to this location and another let down. Took 35 minutes to get a 3 piece dark. The chicken was luke warm to cold. The sides were so over cooked that... well, pointless to describe. The first trip about two weeks ago was a 20 minute wait for food. Sides were just as bad. read more

Please fix your kiosk ordering system. Each time we order inside, we request dine in and we use our reward points. We have had an issue the last three visits.. The order always gets bagged for pickup instead of brought out to the dining area. We sit patiently in the dining area waiting for the food and finally have to approach someone at the front to locate our food. We are handed a to go bag that has been sitting getting cold. read more

I love the food here! Rotisserie chicken cooking as you walk in and it smells soooo good! Seasoned just right! I love the twice baked, creamed spinach and the green beans..seasoned nicely and crisp not soggy!! My favorite is their take on banana pudding with cubes of pound cake, yummy pudding, banana slices on top crumbled with lorn doons! And the salads are amazing! Chicken skin crackle with slices of roasted chicken and fresh veggies. Who knew I could eat kale?! Service is friendly and they really care to make sure you have a good experience there. read more

The family was running errands and needed food so a spin of the internet took us 5 to CC. its located in a large shopping area with strip mall feeling. We entered and they did a good job of enforcing mask ordinance. You have a mixture of grilled chicken and other chicken style entrees. They also have a kids menu not posted. Wife and i had the half chicken special with 2 sides. The 2 boys had sliders and 2 drum sticks. The dinning area open but tables not family friendly. The sliders were good size. The chicken was dry and crispy but in a bad way. The green beans were flavorless. When I told wife she thought I was crazy since her chicken was juicy. I tasted it and yes it was pretty good. So now I'm thinking was it dry or not..i guess I need to try again to make sure. They have some good specials and kids eat free on Monday. I'll be back just chalk it up to the heat lamp. read more

Very good dinner! Family are regulars here. The chicken is always hot and the skin is crispy with great flavor. This place has seriously been so good lately. The sides are also very good! Reasonably priced. Keep this place in business y'all! read more

They now require you to type in your own order. I will not be back until they go back to hiring staff to handle that.

First time ever visiting this place. Ordered to go. Was not at all what I expected. Chicken was dry, roll wasn't fresh and beans were still hard. I was so disappointed. Don't recommend this place and definitely will not come back. read more

Cowboy Chicken - Chicken breast, roll, beans - American Near Me - Wylie, Texas

1st visit to this location as others are much closer to home. But we needed a short road trip on very cold windy day in Collin County. We were not disappointed to make the drive here. Inspired we tried the brisket special as we had a free entree meal coupon so be sure to join their loyalty club. Plenty of food see photos so we got leftovers. Choice of dessert and we got peach cobbler with ice cream yummy. read more

After a bad experience here about 2 years ago where I waited over 30 minutes for a carry out order, I vowed never to go here again. Well, I decided to give this place one more chance last Saturday. Bad decision, our experience was even worse this time. First off, the place has a bad odor, same as 2 years ago, kind of like a sewer backed up. This time we were dining in and waited 47 min to get our meals delivered to the table. They were busy and quite a few people were waiting for carry outs as long as us. After 30 min, we asked one of the workers what was taking so long, and she said, "we ran out of chicken". What?? We could see at least 50 chickens turning on the rotisseries and none of them were ready??? Bad management all around. When the food arrived, it was a total disappointment. All of the food was too salty. The green beans which used to be fresh and delicious, are now frozen. The gravy on the mashed potatoes was awful, pretty sure it was canned. Oh, and the chicken that we waited so long for, was overcooked and dry. This time I'm positive I'm never going back here. I used to frequent the Cowboy Chicken in Plano and was never disappointed. This Wylie store is bad news. Zero stars is the correct rating!!! read more

First time here and very pleasantly surprised. We've been driving by for over a year and never stopped. I had the Laredo chicken sandwich with Mexican street corn and it was great. Super flavorful! I will be back sooner than later, stop by and give it a try if you haven't, it's worth it!! read more

I ordered future delivery to my home so that it would be there by the time I got home from work- ETA was 7-7:15 p.m. They arrived about 7:15 p.m. give or take. Everything in my order was CORRECT! Whaaaaaaaaaaaa? I was so paranoid based on these reviews for the Wylie location. We ordered the One Chicken Family Meal with Creamed Spinach, Green Beans, Mac n Cheese, added on a small Corn Fritters, small Twice Baked Potato and small Tomato Cucumber Salad with Rolls. I am a fan of sides so I wanted to try a selection. The sizes of the takeout sides are rather skimpy for the price. If I didn't know per the menu, the small looks small and the "large" looks like a medium. I would probably opt for the "Texas Large" next time for the sides I really enjoy. Now about that part... I'm from the Deep South so I expect certain flavors when eating these savory Southern favorites: LIKES: Chicken- The chicken was flavorful and moist. I don't do thighs. They always end up in the trash. However, I actually ate a whole thigh from Cowboy Chicken...if you know me, that ought to tell you something. Creamed Spinach- It was really good. Could use just a *tad* more salt but it was yum. Corn Fritters- I call them Corn Nuggets but they were good. Could be a little creamier on the inside but not a deal breaker. Green Beans- They look and taste fresh and were one of my favorites. None of that canned mushy stuff. Had a slight crunch to them. MAYBE: Mac n Cheese- It did not look like the photos I saw online but it tasted okay. My very first thought when eating it was that it wasn't what I expected and reminded me of KFC's mac n cheese...kind of artificial... Tomato and Cucumber Salad- I had to doctor this one up. The dressing they use was not flavorful at all. The salad tasted very fresh but lacked flavor. I had to add some Italian dressing that I had on-hand. Normally, I would make my own vinaigrette but no one's got time for that--that's why I ordered delivery! DISLIKES: Twice Baked Potato- Maybe it tastes better when you dine-in but I don't get why people are raving about it--it was just BLAH. Like something out of a jail cell cafeteria... I would order again from this location and maybe try the beans and sweet potatoes next time. read more
