    #4 Two tender sliders with fries.
    Jim J.

    I was going here on opening day and the line was out the door. We decided to wait until the rush was over so finally went today for lunch. A line in front of the door was not going to deter us this time but when we got to the door, the line was for the Game Stop store two doors down. My caution flag went up, you can't go from lines out the door to an empty store at lunchtime in a few weeks unless... Inside only two people in there but it's only 11:00 am. Then looking around I thought to myself "it's only 30 minutes past opening and two people are here yet the floors are dirty, the fountain is dirty, and leaves are on the floor". Definitely one star off for lack of cleanliness at opening. Counter person was friendly but gave us the wrong order; we wanted two, #4's which is a tender slider, fries, pickles and Cole slaw. Drinks are extra. He gave us one #2 which is two sliders and an order of fries. To resolve the issue, he gave me an order of fries, still shorting me from what we wanted. Second star removed for twice getting the order wrong. Now the chicken; Mind you we are 30 minutes after opening and the fires and chicken are cold. Clearly both had been pre-made and sitting, waiting for someone to order it. Bite into the chicken and the spice was nice but it was dry, no moisture to the sauce at all yet looking at the menu pictures, the sauce is glistening. This sauce was not glistening. $20 for a single order is too much, especially when it is cold. Another star off for cold food. Final point is pre-tipping at the register. The counter guy made a point about reading the first screen which was tipping amounts. I gave him 15% for less than two minutes of interaction and then received the wrong order, cold food and a dirty dining experience. For my future counter service people, thank this guy, as I will never pre-tip counter people again.

    I was impressed! There are already a lot of places you can go to for chicken, and for chicken tenders at that. This place did not disappoint. It was busy but staff gave great customer service and food came out in a reasonable amount of time considering the big Sunday lunch rush. There aren't a lot of places to sit, but if the weather is nice there are extra spots outside to sit. Chicken tenders were big and crunchy! Crinkle fries (my fave) and an added bonus to have cheese fries. Not a lot of places offer cheese sauce for cheese fries so this was nice to see. The Dave's sauce is tangy and good. I love how you get a small pile of pickles on the side. There are options of what spice you want your food. I got no spice because I'm a wuss. Will be back!

    Absolutely awesome! Staff is amazing, customer service is 10/10! The food is wonderful! Chicken is made to order and hot and crispy when it arrives! Ambiance is cool, music is great and the dinning room is super clean!

    It's nice to have a Dave's Hot chicken in Denton.. It's grand opening so of course this place is crowded. The spice levels are not a joke. Eat at your own risk. I'm either a mild or medium kind of girl but I felt spontaneous and tried the Hot and it was so SPICY that I could still feel it burn after. Gave it 3 stars because their AD was a lie. They don't have the fries with all the fixings on it and if you try to order it they'll look at you like you're crazy and I don't like the Dave's sauce or cheese sauce. Both tasted really fake. Wish they have ranch.

    It was busy so the food took a minute, which is OK I understand. The chicken was over breaded in my opinion, but the spice was good. The sauce just tasted like mayonnaise to me. The pickles were amazing. I would do anything to eat those pickles all day every day. Fries fries were so delicious. I would go back just for the fries. Although the seasoning on the tenders was a lot, felt like I was eating straight powder for a second.

    Food is amazing I recommend mild for maximum flavor. Sai was the cashier and was extremely hospitable and went above and beyond to help us.

    The chicken had no taste and it was dry. The spices sprinkled on top didn't help at all!

    This review is because of a petty manager. Snippy, short, frustrated due to rush and me asking for…read moreextra pickles when picking up my order. If it's 15 minutes past when my order should have been ready, give me pickles and let me go instead of making me wait to now pay 1.08 for some pickles, 5 slices of pickles. Instead you took more of your own time and got this poor review from me. Get a new manager that can run a rush without becoming overwhelmed and petty.

    KFC at 1516 Teasley Ln, Denton, TX 76205…read more I do want to give a shout out to the cashier "Ms. Mynor" because this is who this review is about below. First I'd like to start this review off by saying everyone has a bad day every now and then. I have purchased food at this KFC multiple times in the last couple months and what I've always noticed is they were pretty fast with their service. Also I noticed there is somewhat of a language barrier cuz it seems a lot of people speak Spanish as their primary language and English may not be their first language. That being said I've always been treated friendly and kind and appreciate it as a customer. Today there was a lady in front of me and she was having a bad day. She was not getting the service that she felt like she needed and wanted to express her feelings to the corporate office. At the same time she was trying to run off the customers that were in the building and I felt the staff held their composure very well and did not get disrespectful towards the customer at least while I was there and the lady left the building right before I ordered my food. I placed my order and got service that I needed without any problem or any anger from the employee who had already been in the situation before time. This gets a kudos from me because a lot of people might have had an issue with how the other customer was talking to them and they held their composure very well. I truly appreciate this type of customer service. Because if they had done anything negative I may have never come back to this KFC again and might have been discouraged from going to another KFC and not eating this delicious chicken . Also the new potato wedges are back and they are way better than they were before and they were fantastic before. This is the main reason I was there today . I love the potato wedges and I love their coleslaw . So getting to the food part of the review. It is KFC you're going to get what you're going to get because it's KFC but they do have some phenomenal deals as of 2025 and that's probably one of the reasons I'm back eating at KFC. Because of the deals and the potato wedges. Lol

    When I'm in town I make sure to always stop here and order food. I usually go through the drive…read morethru, but yesterday I decided to go inside. When I walked in two families were dining, a few couples waiting for their food, and a woman in line ordering. The restaurant has great natural light. I was not greeted when I walked in. The dining room was not the neatest. Customers weren't cleaning up after themselves at tables, employees weren't wiping down the tables or sweeping the floors. There were straw wrappers left by the drink station along with drink spills by customers. The women's restroom was nasty. Someone had urinated on the floor and put tissue over the mess. When I got to the register there were two middle aged men, (who were store managers, because I asked) tending to the register. They were not friendly at all. They acted as if I was invisible when standing there waiting to place my order. They never said, "Sorry for the wait. Someone will be with you shortly." or "Hello." I patiently waited and looked at the menu until a nice college aged male came and greeted me. He was friendly, kind, and patient. The receipt said his name was Zachery. I hope he was checking out under his name, because I want him to know how great he was in this experience. He had glasses, dark hair, with a shaggy haircut. He was the BEST! Thank you for being kind and having great customer service skills. Placing my order was a breeze with Zachery, even after I forgot to add something originally. I ordered two meals and an a la carte item. The first meal was a 4 piece regular chicken tenders w/jalapeño ranch, okra, mashed potatoes, and a roll. The next meal was the 3 piece catfish w/tartar sauce, okra, and hush puppies. The a la carte item was a 4 piece spicy chicken strip w/jalapeño ranch and a roll. Everything was fresh, hot, and a large portion size. I always get their sweet tea when I visit. I waited about 8 minutes for my food. The staff working behind the counter all seemed young college kids. They were working hard cooking and prepping orders. Great job to them. Despite the dining room/bathroom cleanliness and store managers lack of customer service; the food and Zachery made the experience better. I would definitely stick to the drive thru on my next visit as it is quicker.

I also ordered a sweet tea... the 40 oz cup. When the girl handed it to me, I thought it slipped but as I was brining it in my car I realized it was split and it gave and the top half of the cup collapsed and spilled sweet tea all over me and my car... my brand new car. Now this wasn't necessarily the workers fault but she kind of shoved the cup in my hand and was turned around and on her phone so fast she missed the rest of the transaction. I had to honk my horn and ask for napkins and when I said the cup collapsed she said oh and gave me two napkins and closed the window again. That wasn't very good service. I didnt ask for a new drink or anything, I really just wanted to clean the mess. Ended up having to have car professionally detailed due to the stickiness that lingered everywhere. They had to use an extractor and shampoo almost the entire passenger side and middle of car. The window person could at least pay attention to what is happening and when you're told a cup collapsed and it's shown, maybe show a little concern. maybe you can't replace it but 40 oz needs more than 2 napkins and a shoulder shrug. I'll just drive to a different location in the future or try another franchise all together. I was very disappointed.

Idk if there is an actual portal to NYC installed in the door or what. There are elements of Denton scattered throughout, though, which are pleasant reminders of the unfortunate reality we face upon finishing our sandwiches. The first time I came here was 9pm on a Tuesday. I was craving some cheesecake and the staff was very pleasant in accommodating me. The cheesecake is very good especially for the price. That can be said for all of the food I've had thus far. Today I got the All stops sandwich (and a slice of cheesecake), which was impeccable. The sandwich was so filling I ended up saving half for later! I'm a pretty large guy so that's unusual but a great surprise for me! The service is fast, place is clean enough to eat off the floor. I was surprised it wasn't busier to be frank. The bathrooms were clean, and there was a newspaper above the toilet from a couple days ago. How cool!
