The walls and decor seem to be from the 60s and the food is amazing. This is a hidden gem of a restaurant. Even their prices are good. Service is also great. read more

Dallas Famous Chicken and Biscuits - 2 pc chicken meal was excellent. - Southern Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

Dallas Famous Chicken and Biscuits is a fantastic place to grab breakfast, whether you're dining in or picking up a biscuit or two. Their bacon is perfectly crispy, and the sausage has a great flavor that complements the biscuits beautifully. The breakfast platter is a great way to start your day, offering a biscuit/toast, eggs, a protein, and a side of your choice. You can enjoy a biscuit and platter for about $13 when you're at Dallas. While I know they're famous for their chicken, it doesn't quite live up to my expectations. The chicken tends to fall apart and can be a bit tough to eat. However, the rest of the meals are fantastic when you consider the great value for money in Dallas. The staff is always friendly and the old fashioned theme lets you go back in time as you bite into one of their biscuits. read more

Getting 4 stars because the mashed potatoes are instant. Fried okra was frozen from a bag, but tasty and much more acceptable than instant mashed potatoes. Meatloaf good. Fried chicken good. Cornbread was so good. Sweetened only by the cornmeal and milk, not by adding sugar and making it into corn cake. Will come back another time to try the chicken gizzards/livers and chicken dumplings. Inside of the restaurant was like walking into your old southern restaurant with tables of locals hanging out in fellowship. Love this. Friendly staff. Will be back. read more

This hole-in-the-wall place is regularly listed as one of the best fried chicken and biscuit places in NC. I originally saw it listed in "Our State Magazine" but could never bring myself to eat here because the photos of their fried chicken on styrofoam plates always look less than appetizing. After 43 years of business, the owner announced the establishment would be closing its doors in August, 2024. The Mayor of Apex reached out and helped develop a plan to keep the restaurant going. Since its reopening in Nov, 2024, it seems to be going strong! I was happy to stand in a long (but fast!) line to place my order! My husband ordered the fried chicken filet sandwich and I had the chicken snack: 2 pieces of fried chicken and a biscuit. The photos can't capture the crispness and flavor of the juicy fried chicken! I think the biscuits aren't the best I've had, but they're still excellent! We will definitely be back. I want to try their blueberry muffins that everyone raves about! There's a drive-through window, too! read more

I absolutely love the food here. I have been here many many times for breakfast. I normally get chicken wings and a biscuit with a side of grits, or I get a breakfast platter with sausage, eggs, potatoes and a biscuit. Each time the food is always amazing. The chicken is so crispy and flavorful. I also grab a piece of bread pudding. The have them wrapped into separate pieces right at the register....so good! read more

My favorite biscuit place in the area. Early morning is best when the biscuits are freshest. The country ham is my choice, followed closely by the biscuits and gravy. read more

Hubby and I along with his brother really wanted chicken biscuits for breakfast. We ended up at Dallas Famous Chicken. We all ordered the white meat chicken biscuit. My brother-in-law added on a steak biscuit as well. I thought the biscuit itself was very good - flaky, soft, buttery, salted well. The piece of chicken was an entire chicken breast, breaded and fried. The breading was tasty. Unfortunately, the chicken breast was pretty dry and could have used more seasoning. Jam, jelly, ketchup were a must. Not the worst chicken biscuit I've had but not the best either. I wished I would have ordered the dark meat biscuit instead. The service was great, the employees were helpful and friendly. The ambiance was old fashioned, southern laidback vibe and the prices were excellent! read more

Huge portions, flavorful, tasty and you don't have to worry about breaking the bank. This should be your fast food alternative to other well know chains that aren't nearly as "natural." I stopped by for a steak biscuit while someone else in my party had a chicken biscuit. The steak biscuit was messy...this is a good thing. Homemade gravy that the tender piece of steak was simmered in in between a homemade biscuit. The chicken sandwich was well seasoned, moist and cooked perfectly. A massive piece on a homemade biscuit. These types of sandwiches require no sides...just something to wash them down with. I was sustained for the next 6+ hours for the low cost of about $6. The facility is dated and isn't much to look at however, consumers aren't visiting for the ambiance - the food (and service) is the attraction. Give them a try and thank me later. read more

I had breakfast here today and it was very good. I didn't realize breakfast ended at 10;30 and I went in just after that. They didn't have any more scrambled eggs but the young boy cooked some for. I appreciate it very much! That's good customer service for sure! The portions are big...I am sure I got more than 2 eggs...and the bacon was perfect. There's no butter here but they do have honey and several jelly choices. I like the old items they have in the area where you come in. A real down home country environment. This breakfast was Much Better and much cheaper than the new place across the street. I will continue to come back here. read more

Every couple years I get amnesia and a craving for a chicken biscuit and try this place. And every time I do, I get mad that I forgot how underwhelming it is. The biscuits are more roll like- not particularly buttery, flakey. The white meat chicken I got was from a bone in breast they ripped off the bone and threw on the biscuit. I can't speak to any of the other food, but with this being North Carolina, just drive a little further and get a good chicken biscuit elsewhere- this won't hit the spot. read more

There's a reason this is a famous chicken and biscuits restaurant! Went here for breakfast early in the morning, and it was so refreshing to see all the locals and regulars. They're having conversations and just catching up on life. The ambiance was incredible knowing that everyone was part of the community, and it was really cool to see that! The food was really hearty and delicious, And for the value you really can't beat it! They are super efficient with what they do and definitely plan to make my way back again! read more

So good southern style chicken good texture juicy decent prices for what they give you.

Look at that plate of food. Yeah, it's good to be back in the South. Were the sides probably from a can? Maybe, but this food will heal you. Everyone in the area has probably known about this place for a million years, but i'm sure thankful they exist and want to drop them a note as a certified southern food joint. In addition to this plate of food I also got a bologna and cheese sandwich to go and that was also the right choice. If you want an authentic meat and three experience this place is certainly authentic! Support this local business! read more

Dallas Famous Chicken and Biscuits - a plate of food on a tray - Southern Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

We tried. We wanted to see what all the hype was since this was recently closed and then reopened. It's sadly a no go. We ordered fried chicken and our whole family that ate it got stomach aches afterwards. Very bland, no flavor. My husband decided to try again and order breakfast a few days later. The pork chop in the pork chop biscuit wasn't cooked all the way. Then the sausage biscuit he got had pieces of metal in it. Very disappointing. Hope they can figure out something. read more

a staple to apex nc culture. been eating here with my family since i was a baby. banana muffins and any biscuit with an OJ and ur set. nothin like it. 100/10 best place in apex for breakfast. cheap too. kind staff who works hard. fried okra also a 100/10 read more

hearing how "famous" this place was, i was highly disappointed with my first experience. The food wasn't terrible, but it wasn't anything to write home about. The main issue was with the service -- we ordered two egg & cheese biscuits with a single order of fries. Got to the window and they asked if we ordered steak, we said "no, two egg and cheese biscuits" then proceeded to be given 1 semi-cool biscuit and fries. would choose bojangles over this place any day. read more

We was coming back from Cary, NC. Search up and came across this little gem.

Cool part is they even have a drive thru. read more

I wish I knew more about this local treasure. The menu is delicious. The options for breakfast and lunch are filled with biscuits and chicken. I love they offer white or dark meat for breakfast. The menu also offers huge muffins in blueberry or banana nut. The portions are LARGE. The service is QUICK. The food is So good. Home town southern that must be serving recipes 50 years old.

Dallas Famous Chicken and Biscuits - An original oldie and so worth checking out! - Southern Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

I've been in the area a few weeks for a training and decided to try this place out. If you're not familiar with the area then you may pass it and think nothing of it by the exterior but it's a staple in the community. I went during lunch so it was starting to get busy but the line or wait wasn't unbearable. I ordered the bbq chicken wing meal with mashed potatoes. The bbq chicken was very flavorful but IMO the mashed potatoes were just bland. I also wanted to try the peach cobbler (I love the crust more than again). Well I don't know if it was because the peach cobbler was fresh out the oven but the crust was firm enough for me. It was more filling which made the crust kind of soggy for me. Some may like theirs like that but I don't. Overall the food was good and the customer service was nice. It gives the feel of down home cooking. read more

These folks done stole my Mommy's fried chicken recipe!!! Well, almost anyway...it's a freaking close 2nd to her's and that says a lot! I got a white meat chicken biscuit, a dark meat chicken biscuit, sausage gravy biscuit and a blueberry muffin. Don't judge me... I just love trying different items other Yelpers commenton plus those I find interesting. First the chicken biscuits were off the chain delicious! The biscuits are perfectly baked, tender and buttery without being too much or greasy. The fried chicken was well seasoned, had an element of crunch to the skin and super moist while being deep fried to perfection! I'm a dark meat eater and devoured the entire thing. I tasted the white meat out of curiosity to see if it was as flavorful and moist and IT was! The blueberry muffin was enjoyable as well, but I only ate the top because I like the texture of muffin tops. It was super flavorful with tons of blueberries throughout! Great job. The 5 stars are for the items above. Unfortunately the sausage gravy biscuit was horrible. The biscuit was fine but the gravy was lumpy and quite unpleasant to the palate. Avoid this item...unless I just got it on a really bad day, which is possible. Didn't post pics if the chicken biscuits or the muffin because the ones posted by others are on point. read more

This place has had consistently great fried chicken since Ive been coming here over 30 years. I don't live in Apex but whenever I'm in town and Dallas is open I can't pass it by. Even if I have to take it to go for later it's still great cold. I also recommend the Beefaroni and iced tea. Staff is friendly and efficient and the restaurant is clean. read more

Good food, friendly patrons, great country diner atmosphere. I look forward to going back to try more from the menu.

I always pass this place and finally stopped in to check it out for lunch. I ordered the lunch plate which includes 1 meat, 2 sides (a 1 side option is available) & a biscuit or cornbread. I chose the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, cabbage and cornbread. The portion was huge for the price. The food was just okay, I wasn't too crazy about the sides and the cornbread was dry. If you are in Apex, give it a try. read more

I was looking forward to trying them; they smelled great when I walked in. However, not a single person working there, including the cooks, was wearing a mask. Ironic, too, considering most people working there would be, shall we say, politely ignored if they showed up at the hospital. If they don't care about their customer's health, or their own, fuck 'em. And fuck you if you disagree. I'm tired of the wrong people dying from covid. There was also a smushed roach on the floor. read more

Great authentic Southern food. Best meatloaf and Southern style vegetables in town. BBQ chicken is outstanding. Friendly staff.

Good country cooking. Meat and two sides with biscuit or cornbread. I had the fried chicken which was good for the price. Fried okra and mashed potatoes were good but I wasn't fond of the gravy they put on the potatoes. Interesting decor - very old and country. Place was very clean and staff was very friendly. Not great, but a good meal without spending a fortune! read more

It was not the "best ever" but I agree with other reviewers that the chicken here is pretty good. I had dark meat and wings and neither was over or under cooked. I would've liked them just a little more moist but I can easily do this again. The collard greens were a little bland for my taste but the cajun rice is excellent. I also had an order of fried livers and gizzards. These we slightly over breaded and overlooked, particularly the livers. read more

I've heard good things about this spot and we decided to grab something while on the way to visit family. We ordered the popular white meat chicken biscuits and fries. Apparently if you want homefries you have to get there early so we missed out on those. This isn't your typical chicken biscuit. It's not a filet, it's cut right off the bone after it's fried and served on a flaky biscuit. It was perfectly seasoned and crispy. I suggest drizzling with honey and hot sauce for a treat. Not really a fan of the fries but I'll be back to try out one of the home style dinner options. read more

Definitely a local spot that's been a staple in Apex for years. I've lived here and never tried it so I decided to give it a go. Prices were great for what you get. Staff works hard but English is not easy for them. I'm used to different accents but hard to understand. The food was OK. Not great not bad. Something you'd get at a cafeteria. We tried the fried chicken and the bbq chicken. Bbq sauce was yummy but not baked in. The sides tasted like they came from a can. Served cafeteria style. The biscuits were good. read more

Outstanding fried chicken! Batter was flakey and super crispy. The chicken was also very juicy, with the perfect amount of seasoning. Biscuit was just okay, but the fried chicken thigh was really the standout for me. read more

For what it is, it can't be beat. Don't come here looking for avocado on toast. Come here for a darn good breakfast, home fries cooked to perfection, eggs from someone who knows what "over medium" means and the best chicken biscuit in the Triangle. (WRAL got it wrong!) Fresh baked muffins and biscuits are just like mom would make. The chicken biscuit is more than you can eat. Prices are super low. And the staff is as friendly and welcoming as you could ask for. Come early bcz they close at 3 PM. read more
