    the interior of a fast food restaurant
    Amigo K.

    Brand new location on east end of Rowlett, TX going past the Tom Thumb. Grand opening was Jan 25th, I waited a bit before stopping in. Drive-thru and limited Dine-in right now, must wear mask to enter. Staff is pleasant & helpful, ready to get your order going! First time I ate at Golden Chick, I tried the Chicken Tender Salad $6.89 which was a huge green salad with cherry tomatos, grated cheese, grated carrots, and a few fresh brocolli florettes. Everything in this salad was Very Fresh! The lettuce had been selected without any wilted pieces. Above-average for fast food, and it was great. Next, the Cholula Chicken Tortilla Soup did not score the same points, no medals. The large is $5.99, not served like the advertisement shows. Kind of watery, but full of right ingredients... flavor was not restaurant quality. This one is more a marketing dept idea. Not bad, but I won't miss it when it goes. The tables here are sectioned-off for distance. They allow guests to self-serve their own drinks. Two restrooms, in good condition. Two big screen TV's in lobby, one with news. Overall, the crew is positive, wanting this location to succeed. Manager I saw is actively engaged, coaching the action.

    Yes, Happiness does lie within.

    The drive thru line was long, so we decided to head inside to place the order. Glad we did too, they were well staffed and friendly. Just the kind of service you'd like to see for a newly opened location. I can't resist their rolls and the roasted chicken never disappoints. So, we are really glad we drove across town. We are also really hoping they have a long life here in Rowlett. Plus, I really love a drive thru chicken with healthier options such as the roasted chicken and green beans (especially since KFC did away with their grilled chicken - shakes fist).

    They never get my order right. Something is always missing from zing sauce to french fries.

    First off, the name they claim for this location, isn't the name on the sign. The *actual*…read moreLouisiana "Famous" Fried Chicken is in Dallas. This is just Louisiana Fried Chicken, you can see there is another entry in here with that name and the reviews are not nearly as kind. Service was perfectly fine, the place is small but seemed clean enough. There endeth the passable things. I ordered spicy fried chicken 3pc (LWT), red beans and rice and a pint of gumbo (holy trinity, chicken, sausage, crab and shrimp - more on that to come and it isn't good). Those are a trinity for me, if you will, when sampling and then judging Louisiana fried chicken places. So, Enter Sandman... I got food poisoning, which is an automatic 1. I don't like to give them out, but for extreme circumstances; this being one of those circumstances. The food: The fried chicken was not golden brown it was dark brown, which says old oil/grease. It was bitter, but edible. I ordered spicy, and if they consider whatever I got as spicy, they need to dial it up. I detected no spice. The lady at the counter asked if I wanted hot sauce, I said yes, but it didn't meander its way into my order. The red beans and rice... I don't know what kind of black roux they use and how hard they cook the rice for it to be this mushy. It smelled like it should be good, but I had to add my own Cajun seasoning and some Tobasco to liven it up, even still it was more of, "I paid for it so I'm going to eat it" at this point. Popeye's RB&R is WAY better, and that Popeye's on the corner isn't even a good Popeye's. Now what I believe to be the criminal, the file seafood, chicken, sausage (note I didn't say Andouille, because this was straight up garbage Eckrich). It was a pint, and it was almost black (me assuming because they made a file gumbo, now I'm not so sure). It was packed with a thick mush of *mostly*, onion, celery and green pepper. Scattered among them were stringy pieces of boiled chicken, 2 or 3 pieces of sausage, I did not identify if there was indeed any crab in there because I never saw it and two soggy ass fried shrimp on top. I should've just tossed the whole thing in hindsight. I did pitch the shrimp. I didn't trust how they looked. I dumped the pint (it had that odd colored overcooked rice too), i added quite a bit of water, brought it to a boil, reduced to simmer. I had to add seasoning to this as well as some tobasco. I ate about 1/3 of it or so, then just pitched the rest. *a few hours later (said in that French accent you're now reading it in)* I'm pounding Nauzene, and pounding the toilet. Let's say, oh... about 8 -9 hours? The easiest way to explain how long. As the very unpleasantries began, I put on John Wick, I watched all 4 before finally being *done* and able to go to bed about 0500. Suffice to say, I will not be back. I give this two thumbs down and a raspberry.

    Just had my first visit to Lava Hot Chicken and it did not disappoint…read more Such a great lunch spot--portion sizes are solid for the price, and everything came out fresh and flavorful. Jason ordered the Lava #1 (2 mild strips) and I got the Lava #2 (2 hot chicken sliders). The "hot" was more of a medium kick, while the mild still had great flavor without much heat--so definitely approachable for anyone easing into spice. I also helped myself get some mac & cheese since it was a cold and rainy day, but to be honest I probably would've gotten some mac & cheese anyways. Delicious! Also have to shout out Alex--super patient, helpful with the menu, and honestly just great service all around. He anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask, which you don't see often. Really made the experience even better. And I have to add--I'm usually not a fan of crinkle fries, but these were actually spot on. We'll definitely be back!

    New spot in Rowlett, TX behind the CVS at Dalrock Crossing Center…read more I tried the next-to-hottest level of spiciness, and not even as spicy as Chiloso's. Very polite & helpful counter staff if you are not familiar with their menu. For regulars, self-ordering is done on the screen on the counter. Take-out, or delivery boxes are sturdy, and sealed with a big sticker. A buddy gave me his coupon, I had never tried Lava Hot Chicken before. So, to get their new Hot Chicken Tacos.... You MUST purchase a #1, #2, or #3 Meal. I got the Sliders meal to go with the 5 tacos deal. Got home, everything stayed warm in these boxes, and the spiciness was not as hot as the hype! Good ingredients, good bite & chew on the white chicken meat tenders. Buns were soft, fries were a bit hotter than the chicken! Hot Chicken Tacos were decent, the flour tortilla had a nice texture, did not fall apart, easy to eat! I did not try the Maple Waffle fries, sounds delicious! Desserts are cold parfaits; crumbled Oreos & creme, or creamy Mocha BEERS in bottle or can, sold for dine-in only, must have ID. Sodas, juices, waters, and Ice slush drinks. The facility was spotless! Two very clean restrooms, locking, ADA complaint. Simple small tables for 4. Outdoor umbrella-covered small tables. The urban spray paint "art" theme is not seen around here, is very colorful. Parking situation is cramped with popular Chiloso's nearby, so be careful of others in a rush. 4 stars because of the narrow menu offering, BUT adding Cold Beers bumped it up to 5 Stars, well played!

I wish more places would use these, but perhaps I'm in the minority and people prefer the sterile coldness of cool white LEDs. Also, the food tastes pretty good. Sure, it's full of all the ingredients the other fast-food places use, like all the preservatives, seed oils, and other flavor enhancers, but it tastes pretty good. The problem for me, though, and it's a big one I've noticed at other places as well: the food tastes like artificial fragrance. At least the bun on the burger did. So it makes me think they are storing the buns in an area with fragrance (air freshener of some sort), or the plastic container the buns are stored in was stored in a room with an air freshener. It's pretty nasty to bite into a burger and taste a chemically crafted bouquet of flowers. I managed to remove the outer layer of both buns, and that got rid of the fragrance and made the burger edible. So, my suggestion for Culver's, and any food business, is to get rid of the stinking artificial fragrance. It's nasty, it's toxic, it tastes terrible, and it sticks to everything, especially plastic and anything that plastic touches. The sad part is, most people live their lives surrounded by fragrance, they can't even taste it when it's in and on their food.

My first impression was that this place was insanely busy, which honestly gave me hope that the food would speak for itself. I was greeted in the drive through by an employee who was extremely friendly and took my order while I was still in line. Then it became a waiting game. From the time I placed my order until I got to the window, it took about 15 minutes. That may be normal here, but I would not call it fast food in the usual sense. That said, there are signs everywhere saying everything is cooked fresh and made to order, and if that is true, the wait is a fair trade for hot, fresh food. Sitting in the drive through was actually a cool experience because you can see into the kitchen through the glass. It was interesting to watch the team work, and the kitchen looked very clean and organized, especially considering how busy they were. I ordered the Animal Style meal since everyone says that is the best way to do it. It was about$11 which feels pretty reasonable these days. I also liked the packaging. The burger came wrapped in paper, and it made it easier to eat in the car without making a mess. As for the food, the burger was above average for a drive through restaurant. It was served hot, and the vegetables tasted fresh. But compared to a genuinely great hamburger, it was just okay. The biggest thing holding it back for me was the patty. It needed more seasoning, and that alone would have taken it a long way. The fries were the weak spot. They were overly salted, almost too salty, and they were not very hot by the time I got them. They ended up feeling like average fast food fries. Overall, if you are craving a hamburger and choosing between typical fast food options, this is worth a stop. I would take it over most chains, though I would still pick Five Guys if I wanted a better burger.

    Not Truly Military Friendly-…read more I was extremely disappointed to learn that this Chick-fil-A location only offers a military discount to current active-duty service members and does not extend the same respect to retired veterans who have already completed their service. What makes this even more frustrating is that there are no military bases anywhere near this area, so realistically there are very few--if any--active-duty service members coming through. In other words, it feels like a policy that allows them to say they support the military without actually honoring the people who live in this community and have already served their country. Many businesses proudly support all who have served, including retired military members and veterans who dedicated years--sometimes decades--of their lives to this country. Limiting the discount only to active duty sends the message that once your service is finished, your sacrifice no longer counts. Our veterans carried the weight long before the current generation put on the uniform. A truly military-friendly business recognizes active duty, veterans, and retirees alike. It's disappointing to see a company with such a strong reputation in the community fall short in honoring those who served. Hopefully the "Rockwall" Chick-fil-A's will reconsider this policy and extend appreciation to all military members past and present.
