Hartz Chicken Buffet - Delicious chicken tenders made fresh! - Southern Near Me - Houston, Texas

Fresh hot buffet w/ dessert Great fried chicken and fish Also have livers and gizzards! Yeast rolls are SOO delicious! Love this place! read more

Hartz Chicken, located at 1215 Pinemont Dr, brings back so many memories for me. I used to own a business nearby, and even though we rarely took lunch breaks, we would take 15 minutes to rush over to this location and enjoy their two-piece special. Hartz has always been a great spot for classic, no-frills comfort food. I would often choose the two-piece special, which features crispy, well-seasoned chicken that is consistently delicious. Surprisingly, I would opt for two wings, despite this being the only chicken place where I would pick wings over dark meat. For some unique reason, their wings were always large and incredibly moist. Paired with a side of coleslaw, it's the perfect balance of flavors. Of course, I always add pleeeeeenty of hot sauce--the spice elevates the meal to another level. (If you haven't had their hot sauce, you are certainly missing out!) If you're in the mood for comfort food that truly satisfies, Hartz Chicken is always a solid choice! read more

UPDATE: I discussed this issue with the owner over DM (he did not call me despite me giving my number). He ignored/refused to answer my request for info on what policies and procedures he would implement to make sure this does not happen again. read more

Ordered fried chicken livers since it had been awhile since I had them. Not only were they just cooked fresh and tasty, but twice I received much more than I paid for. They know the value of great customer service and yes, I will be back. read more

I love the food. People are friendly. Inside looks clean. I will buy here again and again.

Always good food and flavor... no service it's just a fried chicken buffet joint... get your styrofoam plate and go at it

$8.99 (+tax) all you can eat with drink included! What can be better than that?! I'll tell you what! Check in to this location on Yelp and pay $8 + tax! Yeah, you read that right. EIGHT FREAKIN' BUCKS! Come in, pay up, get a plate, fill up, pour yourself a drink, and then chow down. Once you're done? Go back to the cashier, ask for a new plate, and repeat the process. Fresh chicken, strips, wings. They also have fish (or at least I think they were fish). Downside? They don't label anything (hence I wasn't sure if I actually saw fish or not). But everything else is pretty much self explanatory since they are fried chicken after all. Another downside? No fries. Like, really? Fried chicken but no fries? That just ain'r right!! Will be including this as part of my lunch rotation in the area! read more

Haven't been to Hartz in years...always used to go with my papa when he was living. Fish was amazing...the guy who took my order was cool too. I'll be back!!!! read more

Very good chicken. It rivals Popeyes. The tenders are better than Popeyes and in my opinion are better than Cane's. They are large very tender and crispy. I also like the cream gravy that comes with them. Love the yeast rolls and mashed potatoes and gravy. too. I have been a few times and the man working the drive thru was always friendly and polite. read more

There is no buffet. The drive through is the only thing open. We did not even eat. I feel deceived.

Hartz chicken in Texas City is the worst. They fry they food to hard. And I don't like it when you order food to go they take it off the buffet line. Nasty. Never rotate the food. New on top of old. What ever happened to fifo. First in first out. Out of 1-10 with 10 being the highest I rate them a 3 read more

If you like chicken with absolutely no flavor, then this is your place. I tried the roll because it wasn't a dried up hockey puck like the other joint. It was rubbery. At least now I know this is a pass for me. read more

Great place to eat. Same great taste for the past 5 years I've eaten there. Keeping it tasty!

This is the best Harts buffet I've ever been to. It all had to do with the caring and polite employees who work there. The stewed Okra and tomatoes/onions were excellent. The Cabbage was well flavored with pork and so were the green beans. The rolls were perfect, not too much yeast like some Harts. I love fried liver and it was great! The employees were so nice and immediately added more Fried fish, chicken fingers and fresh hot chicken for us. The freshly made Broccoli rice casserole came out and was great. The peach cobbler came out freshly made and it had the perfect amount of sugar and cinnamon. You can tell that they really care about the quality of their food here! I will be back soon! It's at the corner of Pinemont Dr and Ella Blvd. read more

All the reviews are correct, both good and bad. The chicken is crispy, sometimes piping hot, mostly in need of seasoned salt. Most of all, the chicken is affordable and cooked for you. I love fried chicken but hate frying chicken. The oil, the heat, the burns, and the smell that can last for days all pushes me to pay someone to do it for me...at about $1 a piece. Yes, you want a two piece it's $1.99. So for that price I'll take it home, add my own salt, open a fresh can of soda, and wish I went ahead and ordered a yeast roll. Which by the way taste like bread. Nothing has ever been disgusting. (I've been 4 times, and have gotten party orders before With no complaints )The employees have always acted nicer than I would act if I had to cook fried chicken all day. Today they were especially nice, (maybe because they get a day off tomorrow). Either way I appreciated they're helpfulness today. I don't want to repeat the bad so I'll only mention my biggest complaint and what makes them loose a star (probably two stars). Inside needs a makeover. Probably not going to happen with the current trajectory of the location, so I would highly recommend they hire someone (or pay someone more)that will go around frequently to clean the place. No one wants to eat in a place that looks and feels dirty. No one. It doesn't matter if your paying Hartz prices, KFC, or CFA. The dining area should be clean. The place is not always busy so two staff should constantly rotate checking the tables, hot plate area, floors, and trash and tidy up. Bottom line: If you have a love hate relationship with fried chicken, you're hungry and don't have $8 for yummy but salty CFA, and scared to go to other nearby Hartz locations then go through the drive through or order for pick-up. The worst reviews were obviously from people who entered with their eyes closed. Note, with restaurants it's never nicer on the inside. So take a chance and judge a book by the cover. You'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

Hartz Chicken Buffet - Hot and crispy. - Southern Near Me - Houston, Texas

Friendly and quick service. Food is consistent and yummy. My daughter is a fried chicken lover, as am I. I recommend picking up to go for a good family meal. read more

How are you a chicken place but, refuse to cook any chicken. I'm so confused at the moment. So you are losing money because the rep said you are bot cooking. So why are you even open?? read more

Been coming here at this location in northwest Houston for many years and they still argue and fight when asked for fresh desert, peach putting and bread pudding and the cobbler never fresh looks like it has been sitting for days. Make no sense, when a valuable customer ask for fresh desert. Makes me wonder if the chicken is even fresh. The restaurant employees are good until you ask for food, then horns come out. The character of this place could use some training. read more

It was awesome! Great chicken, great sides, and an affordable price. I could eat the livers all day

Tammy is a person who was working behind the counter. She was incredibly rude and refused to wash her hands after accepting money from other customers. She did not wear gloves while serving from the buffet line. To make matters worse, they wouldn't even give us a cup, as the one they gave us fell on the ground. Very very dissatisfied!! Side note: Food was very good read more

290/Hollister. They have this buffet/ in room dining operations down great. They basically have servers working the floor. If you order the buffet, the server has to get your food. Just tell them what you want and they fill you up. Drinks are self served. If you want more, just tell the server and they will get it for you. And when you leave...they spring into action with the spray bottles, cleaning the table and chairs. read more

I came back after the storms to support Naro for all that he has done to help Houston and I must say the quality has improved dramatically. We will be making this a weekly lunch spot. Some key highlight items is the chicken of course, but the strips are amazing, rolls, and sweet corn. Come by and support him! read more

fish undercooked, drive thru very slow, no condements, napkins or utensils. very disappointed.

If you're in to fresh, hot and crunchy friend chicken then look no further. #thatchickenman does it right and there's always a little more than expected when you receive your order read more

Went by they forgot to give me large rice and beans, the fish was jelly looking on the inside really bad. Messaged the owner a couple of times-he completely ignored me. Lost money with the missing item and the bad fish. Went by to help out since the neighborhood page posted they needed customers. Rude of him not to respond. read more

Great chicken...tasty sides! Clean...with friendly service! This place is DEFINITELY a guilty pleasure of mine...especially for GIZZARDS... Don't let the older building fool you...I've been to a couple around town...and this is definitely the best by far!!! read more

Great find in Independence Heights! Awesome baked chicken for those on low carb keto diets!! Ducked into this place for lunch today, and it was really clean! In addition to the normal fried chicken, mashed potatoes and other goodies, the lunch buffet inside had baked chicken, cabbage, green beans and an awesome "creole" chicken dish with tomatoes, peppers, celery and no sugar! Great find on the north side! Don't be deterred by the construction out front. read more

Gizzards, gizzards, gizzards....my run to Hartz to pick up gizzards for someone, turn into a deep conversation in the drive thru lane. The gentleman running drive thru was super friendly and talkative in a good way. Love their wings sauce on please, and hot rolls, you have to visit for your self. read more

Had my first experience of the Hartz Chicken buffet, and was completely blown away. All the vegetables were delicious and scratch made. The chicken livers were the best!!! So glad this place in the neighborhood!!! BTW don't miss the yeast rolls. read more

Why is it you can get the buffet for less than$10.00 but but 6 pieces of fish with red beans and rice an two rolls and it's $22.00 now that's a rip off. Don't recommend going there if that's how they over charge there customers the lady at the window was the best I've ever seen but the price is unfair best fish around but no more I'll go somewhere else thinking about reporting them read more

So happy I found out they have chicken livers and they are really good. Haven't tried the fried chicken yet because I was so excited to learn they have livers. read more

Loved this place so much I can't wait to be back in Houston even on a hot humid July day!!!! Great service and value. read more

Hartz Chicken Buffet - Best chicken in Houston ya'll!!!! - Southern Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great chicken strips but the sides were average at best. We ordered to go and it seemed the sides had been on the Warmer for a while. Service was average, but overall it was nothing special. About on line with a Golden Chick or Churches Chicken read more

All of the food was tasteless. The bucket of chicken was mostly wings and the wings had no meat on them at all. I also waited and waited to get my food when the place was not busy. read more

Chicken was ok, but the rest was just disappointing. You have to pay extra for okrah? Really?!!!

Really like this place alot. Food is always good, service is always good and the Chicken Man is always helping out the community. Will always support a place like this. read more
