    My family and I recently stumbled upon this hidden gem while traveling to the Houston area. Being from the DFW area we have plenty of fried chicken options. We wanted a place sit down and have some fried chicken for dinner but something quick and fast with lots of options. What better way to satisfy our appetite with a fried chicken buffet. After reading some of the past reviews, I was hesitant but learned that it was under new management. Photos are everything to me . So looking at before and after pictures, I could tell that this new owner gave this place a new vibe and a much needed face lift. Let me tell you this place did not disappoint. Dara, the new owner brought us fresh rolls right out the oven and chicken right out the fryer. YUMMY!! Unlike other fast food buffet places, Dara is definitely striving for freshness and quality in his food. The dinner rolls I learned are made in house and then right into the oven. It tasted semi-sweet, buttery and all so fluffy. Never frozen and rebaked. The fried chicken was crispy and juicey. I could tell that Dara is very personable and passionate in trying to rebuild this business that was established in 1972. So if you live in the North Houston/Humble area or just passing through , please check Hartz Chicken on 210 First st it's not like the others .

    Hartz Chicken Buffet is a go-to place if you want to get full, not spend a lot of money and not to concerned about quality. To be fair the fried chicken, gizzards and livers are not bad. Unfortunately the veggies are awful. They could be enhanced if they managed the heat of food better. Although all veggies sit in a steam table they're consistently lukewarm. Oddly the chicken part of steam table seems to stay hotter. I suspect it's a conscious effort to extend the life of unused veggies. The longer they're subjected to heat the faster they break down in texture. They also have some sort of dessert like bread pudding. Unfortunately they are so sweet it that it's rendered inedible.

    Stumbled upon this chain purely by chance. Ordered their southern style fried chicken strips with fries a yeast roll and gravy. The food looked delicious but it was surprisingly light in the flavor department. The chicken was nice breast pieces and not pressed like many chains. It was ok but too underseasoned. The fries and gravy were also short on seasoning. The roll was fantastic. Light and airy with a hint of sweetness it saved the meal from two stars. The food would be perfect for late night munchies.

    I really enjoy eating the wings here. Always fresh and don't forget the okra. And the service is really good. Will be back.

They also offered catfish, fried chicken, good sweet cornbread, Koolaid and soda. Desserts were down home also, offering banana pudding, peach cobbler, and cakes.

I visited for lunch on a weekday where they have daily specials which save a few dollars off of the regular price. Upon reaching the steam table their digital display still had the previous days entrees, so I had to wait to get up to the counter to see the selection for the day which consists of 6-7 entrees. With the regular meals, you receive an entree, 2 sides, rice and cornbread. They offer tea, Pepsi products and for alcohol, it's beer, wine and daiquiris. They have loud r&b music playing in the background. I chose the "red" meatloaf (they have brown or red sauce), collards and Mac n cheese. Keep in mind they serve your food and drinks in to go packaging, regardless of whether you dine in, or get it to go. Food portions are large too. The meatloaf portion I received was large, delicious and juicy. The slice was around 2 inches thick. The mac n cheese was good, and actually ended up being my favorite item. The collards are pretty typical with a lot of vinegar and cooked for a long time. Below the meatloaf was a base of white rice and brown gravy which is basically a filler. You receive 2 cornbread muffins, which I don't really eat but I ate a couple bites and they are pretty sweet. The owner/manager was friendly and greeted me while in line, stopped by my table to check on me, and even said goodbye as I was leaving.

    A great place for lunch with a group of friends! We are part of a group of friends who are mostly…read moreretired and enjoy dining out for lunch as a group once a month. We try to support local Kingwood are restaurants and hadn't been to Union Kitchen in quite a while. We arrived and asked for a table for 6, the dining room was busy so they said it would be a few minutes. Then 3 more of our group we hadn't expected arrived and the hostess quickly let the servers know to make our table larger. We only had to wait 8 or 9 minutes and were seated in the side dining room which was great as it was not crowded so it was easy to talk without a lot of ambient noise from the more crowded main room. I believe one of the assistant managers began taking drink orders as our designated server was finishing up some tables nearby. She had a great sense of humor and quickly went to get our drinks. FYI, they have both an All Day menu and a lunch special one which we hadn't seen before a their website so that is an option and is a bit less expensive with smaller servings than the All Day one. As it was April 15, they had a special small Tax Day menu where everything was prices at $4.15! What a cute idea! We all ordered our lunches and soon we were enjoying what was brought out. I had the special lentil soup and the blackened salmon tacos, my wife had the 1/2 lb classic burger and the house made potato chips. Everything was excellent. Glad we stopped by for our group lunch.

The food did surprise me aside from looking very simple it had such great punch of flavor. I ended up having the blackened fish with mashed potatoes and asparagus which was perfectly combined yet very simple looking. The half sweet unsweet tea was absolutely perfect it really gave the South Justice for tea. Overall I don't know if I would come back, I'm not a big steak eater but the steak did look great. It's in a shopping Plaza with plenty of parking in the front

    Service was excellent…read more Ambiance--usual diner feel Food: Ox tails delicious--tad too spicy but I enjoyed every bite! Rice & gravy gummy with no seasoning! Cabbage was good--greens very spicy! Gave to my sister who rated 9 out of 10 would recommend. Cornbread was like hard day old bread and went into the trash! Bbq platter: BIL loved his plate! Said potato salad was meh but all else good! Hotlinks, ribs, and beans! Sister got fried chicken and added mac&cheese along with yams! Chicken was fresh but not seasoned much! Mac&cheese good for diner menu option, and yams were okay she said! Greasy spoon Mac is better IMO but Granny's oxtails the best I've had here in H-town! Although spicy/hot food is not my favorite I did enjoy them If the cornbread were softer & sweeter I think the rating would be 4! Would I go back? Hmm! Yea for the tails of course! I saw they have catfish & black eyed peas so I may try those next time as well! Overall 3.5 but can't do half stars By default I left it at 4
