    I ordered a 3-tender meal, no heat, with fries, Mac n cheese, and a drink. The tenders are HUGE. I was shocked by the size. The chicken and fries were seasoned really well, but the mac n cheese definitely needs some help. Overall, the prices are outrageous for a fast-food place. However, the customer service is good, the portions are huge, and the food is flavorful which can't be said about a lot of places in the DFW. I'd reccomend.

    My mini me and I discovered a Nashville Hot Chicken joint the we liked! Food was delicious and served piping hot, and seasoned just right. You order your food ar a kiosk then wait patiently for the goodnes to be ready. The staff is also super helpful with suggestions if you need any. Its really casual and reasonably priced. It's in Frisco, TX so if you are ever in the area and craving Nashville Hot Chicken, try them out!

    Just left Crimson Coward and as a hot chicken enthusiast I must say I highly enjoyed. It has become a top 5. Spice level was true to levels. I ordered the signature sandwich "the crimson" at level hot- and had a nice slow burn. I could still taste the flavors. Chicken to bun ratio was great! You are getting what you pay for. My fiancé ordered a chicken-rice platter at level medium. He LOVED it. He said the chickens flavor was great and the rice was a nice mix. Now this is an off menu "crimson bowl". We also got a side of fries. We aren't big fans of extra seasoning on fries, but that's just a personal preference- it wasn't crazy seasoning either. The fries themselves were hot a crispy-delicious overall! The staff were so cool. A laid back pair of gentlemen. Very helpful as we said it was our first time. Toooootally coming back!

    Loaded Mac - Watery Mac and cheese with chopped chicken strips. This was absolutely terrible. $16

    Food and service was terrible. Ricky's, Cane's, Cowboy Chicken, literally anyone is better and a bit less expensive. Freaking crazy prices.

    Second time here, and the chicken is still solid--crispy & flavorful. Pepe at the front was super nice and made ordering easy, which I appreciated. Just a heads-up--there's a bit of a wait since they fry everything fresh. They do have a self-ordering kiosk to make things smoother. I'll definitely be back for more.

    Crimson combo

    Just an okay experience at CC. Got there for lunch and was first in line but still had to wait 10 minutes to order because staff was busy. I understand they cook to order but they need to be more efficient so people aren't left waiting when things aren't that busy. The chicken itself was good. They use halal so quality is good but the prices are exorbitant for what you get. $12 for just a chicken sandwich and an additional $5 to add fries and a drink, so $18 for a combo with a sandwich that wasn't that big. We had a coupon thankfully but I wouldn't pay that much normally. The fries were overly salty and I got the chicken at medium spice level and was surprised that it was still pretty mild and lacking flavor. They should use a bigger tray since everything was so tight you didn't have space to put ketchup or sauce. Overall, a solid place but a bit pricey and could improve with service and efficiency.

    The Frankenstein with fries

    If you like it hot, then this is a good place to get your heat. The crimson chicken fries are a must try, messy, saucey and so good. On my 2nd visit I ordered The Frankenstein, which wasn't listed on their menu on the wall. Filled with Mac and cheese, coleslaw, pickles, chicken and sauce served on toasted bread. The season fries were hot and fresh. This is a place you wanna definitely want to check out.

    Do NOT sleep on this place! The staff is so kind and amazing. Your food is made with love & care so be patient. Get the new snash burger, fried pickles, chicken tenders, Mac & cheese and every sauce! It's pretty small inside but they have counter seating which I thought is super smart for to-go orders. Enjoy!

    Tenders

    One of our favorite places to get fried chicken! We love the toast & tenders most! The staff are also helpful & friendly! It's mostly a takeout spot with couple of tables along the side.

    Amazing. Great staff. Amazing food. Only problem is i got full too quick. Very good meal. Got the Joey Eat fries and this was my 1st time hefe. Plenty filling and a good sample of several items.

    3 Tenders

    I really enjoyed this spot! The employees were very friendly and our food was served incredibly fresh. This is a quick service spot with plenty of dine in seating. I opted for tenders because I wasn't super hungry but the chicken sandwiches and burritos looked fantastic. My tenders were crisped to perfection and didn't lack any flavor. You get to choose from 4 different heat levels for your chicken and I believe they're all dry rubs. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in TX!

    Garlic twist
    Faz K.

    I have been here before but due to the higher prices it was not a consideration for the rotation. That said recently they dropped prices which kind of changed the game bit :) Quality of food is really good here imo. They give good generous portions and the sandwich comes with a beast of a breast almost twice the size of the bun. I do wish they would include at least one crimson sauce on the side. This round we also tried Joey fries which were decadent. The favorite here for me and the significantly better half is the garlic twist. I suggest getting an extra side of the garlic sauce to enjoy its full brilliance. If you haven't been here in a while due to the prices, worth checking out again.

    They are not playing around with the spiciest chicken tenders. It's spicy but quite delicious with the slaw salad. The Crinkle Fries were fun, but don't bother getting the Fried Pickles. Lots of batter so I could only taste the oil, not the pickle.

    Dave's Hot Chicken is tender and crispy! I ordered the small…read moretop-loaded fries, 10-piece Dave's Bites, and a spicy slider. The fries were perfect with the veggies and sauces -- not too thin or too thick, so they paired really well with all the toppings. I personally prefer the non-spicy chicken. It was tender, juicy, and crispy. The spicy chicken tasted more like fajita-style seasoning.

    The food is, mostly, a 4-to-5. Over my two visits in a three-day period (one lunch, one dinner)…read morethere were only two quality issues. The first is an overall criticism that they are ridiculously stingy with their "Dave's sauce," both on the slider (nearly non-existent) and as a dipping sauce. For what they are charging for their food, they should be including a larger portion of sauce. I mean, they obviously know how large the tenders are, and the little cup is large enough to dip half of one tender...then you can pay for more (if you can even get to the counter - more on that in just a bit). The second quality issue was with the saucy bites. The breading on our order was borderline burned. The hot honey sauce seemed to nearly entirely poured on the bottom of the clamshell they were served in. I really like the tenders, and the bun for the slider is nicely sweet. I ordered mine without pickles or "Kale slaw," as both disgust me, but that's me. The service, however...that is why the rating is mid. The front-line staff collectively have no personality whatsoever. At lunch, our food was served in nice little baskets. At dinner, and may I say go in at dinner at your risk as the lobby and available seating is far too small for the abundance of traffic jamming up and blocking the entire order area with their heads in the clouds. It seems like the overall clientele is unaware of how standing in line and being courteous to others works. Our dinner meal, for dine-in mind you, was served in clamshell go containers. I find that insulting. It was a cold, drizzly evening, so no one was choosing to sit outside, but the seating area , again, is totally inadequate for the crowd size. Even were you to order your meal to-go through the app, you'd be forced to navigate through large groups who apparently think everyone needs to come inside to get a go-order. I honestly do not know if the hassles in the evening are worth returning for dinner, and that is our primarily time to eat out.

    Excellent food and service. Atmosphere is different and cool. Best fried chicken I've ever had…read more Loved it since the first time I went and I don't each much chicken. This place is phenomenal. We ordered dessert for the first time. Pies are NO good. I will say - we didn't love it. In fact, the peach cobbler was very disappointing. Zero flavor at all. Shortcake and coconut were better but nothing amazing. Quickly regretted asking for it. Will not have it again. Definitely not the cherry on top. We'll stick to the amazing chicken and sides and then call it a day.

    It had been years since my last visit here and I remembered really enjoying it the first time…read more Unfortunately, this return visit got off to a rocky start. When I arrived, I was waiting on two family members who were about 10 minutes away, so I went ahead to put our name in. The hostess told me I could go right in, which made it seem like a table was ready, but she never took my name or wrote anything down. After I explained I was waiting for two others, she said "okay" and then started taking names and numbers from other parties, leaving me off to the side without her saying anything else. It was odd, so I sat down. After sitting for maybe 5-7 minutes, I noticed she was taking names for parties of 2 and 3, which was confusing. When I asked about it, she said she already had my party and name even though she had never taken it. At that point, it felt like the Chinese restaurant episode of Seinfeld, where somehow you're waiting but also not really on the list. She finally took my name for a party of three and quoted a 30-45 minute wait, without accounting for the time already lost. My family members arrived shortly after, and we still waited another 20 minutes or so. Once we were seated, the service didn't improve much. Our server was extremely slow, and everything came out at once. We barely had time to get drinks, salads, or biscuits before the food arrived. Refills and additional requests felt more burdensome than attentive. While the food and drinks themselves were great, the overall service felt very disorganized and subpar.
