Had to grab some food quickly so I stopped by Hartz Chicken and went thru the drive thru to pick up a 4 piece chicken tenders, mashed potatoes and gravy with a roll and sweet tea. The service was slow but efficient and the tenders were bland and crispy. The cream gravy was the only thing that saved the tenders. The mashed potatoes and gravy were good but the roll was delicious. The lowest part of the meal was the sweet tea which tasted terrible. The placed looked quite rundown from the outside. read more

I miss what Hartz used to be. This review is for this location only. I visited on a Sunday around 5/6 pm. The lights were off so we were unsure if they were even open. When we walk in, the staff behind the counter flip the lights on just for the front counter and ask what would we like to order. She explains she is saving energy. We order a couple meals with fried chicken to go. While waiting, I fill my drinks and the floor is sticky everywhere I step. The whole place looks like it is on the verge of falling apart. Looking up the air vents are caked with dark stuff and there are stains and pieces hanging. Dirt is packed into every nook and cranny in the corners. We get our chicken and head home. Once home it is cold and somewhat stale. At least the rolls were still hot. The most concerning thing is the buffet was in operation the day we went. While we didn't get anything from it, it was a sad presentation. No one was in the place and that side of the dining room was dark as the counter lady did not flip that light switch. The chicken was dark brown...almost burned looking. I am guessing from being reheated in the fryers. Who know how much of that is stored for reuse the next day. Overall, I have visited this location in the past (actually over 15+ years). It has steadily had zero reinvestment to the building or grounds as it looks more and more soiled and worn out each time. I will likely not return as this was kind of the breaking point for me. It was never a new or super clean place but whatever my line is, it has crossed beyond that for me. It is just dirty and worn out inside and out. I fear the current operator is running on razor thin margins and I am sure struggles with inflation. I wish them well but the place just does not provide quality or the cleanliness I seek in a restaurant. read more

The chicken was cold the price for the buffet was to high. When I payed with my credit card they charged me a credit card fee they would not give us plates for dinne in when we ask for it they were rude the people next to us where also telling us that the food on the buffet didn't look good and how it tasted really bad. read more

Hartz Chicken Buffet - This the Front of Hartz Chicken that we went to. - Fast Food Near Me - Spring, Texas

Have had good, tasty, and fresh offerings each time our family stops by. Staff varies from location to location. But hey, we're here for the grub not the staff :) Would recommend. read more

I just moved to Texas from Washington. Never been out of my state until now. Not sure if it's normal to have dead cockroaches on the ground in the South but I wouldn't eat here again. First time I ate from them was when my bf brought home some of their food and it was bomb af. Chicken seasoned good. But today I went in and it looked nasty and when you talk to the employees they seem like the careless type. My boyfriend said "the more ghetto the better" which is stupid af lol I'm not going to eat there again. read more

Hartz Chicken Buffet - Cockroach - Fast Food Near Me - Spring, Texas

Ok. Every body makes mistakes in life. Even God screws up every now and then. Like why make left handed people. Can't they learn be like every one else. Well, today was my error. Hartz chicken at this location is a dump. I repeat a dump! I came in and the lady next to me was upset. She drove all the way back because her roll was missing from her drive through order. They told her "tuff beans" and she left angry. Seriously? Anybody willing to drive all the way back to complain just about a missing roll. Just to make them happy. Give them a roll. But the ladies at the front counter put no effort in customer service. They could care less. The interior is incredibly dirty and they have some of the worst smelling bathrooms I have ever been in. They put absolutely no effort in trying to keep the place up. Salad bar, cheap iceberg lettuce w/ fake bacon bits, stale croutons, and an assortment of the cheapest dressing you can find. What a waste. Chicken buffet. This is why people come here. Because for $10?you can cram as many pieces of cheap chicken into yourself as you possible can. The highlight of the buffet is the mashed potatoes and gravy. The rest was of the lowest quality, but, largest quantity ( it's a buffet after all) choices of trash you could find. Yes I know this is a harsh review but when a restaurant strives this hard to set the bottom mark on the totem pole they deserve it. Heck they are proud of it. The patrons who come here by and large are hard working guys mostly looking for a cheap , large quantity, low quality meal. This is not a place to take the family. If so McDonald's and Sonic are right next door. I really wish someone with the health department would find the time to come here and inspect this place. read more

a dumpy old place with tasteless food. We paid 12.00 for the buffet which I think is overpriced. They only offered paper plates and they were not readily available,so you had to ask for another one.I will never return read more

I always heard this place was bad, and read it on here, so avoided it for 4 1/2 years in the area, eating all around it instead. Even pulled up in my car, expecting to look and leave. Instead, I found a nicely kept up buffet, with many items. The place was quite clean- much cleaner than some others. It was 6:30 at night on a Tuesday. I feel like a fool, having missed out on it all this time. I'll post pics. Updating this, I've switched to a different Hartz chicken buffet, after getting diarrhea twice at this one by Sonic and McDonalds. Never having that problem at the one at 5037 FM 2920 Rd. Spring, TX 77388, after 6 visits, and tasting everything including drinks and ice cream. read more

I went here for the first time and it was absolutely disgusting! the first thing they told me when i pulled to the window was the roll machine was broken and offered me an extra side with my chicken tenders. I took them up on that. They handed me my unsweet iced tea and while waiting for my food i tried it. it just tasted like dirty water... when i finally got my food and got it home the tenders were ok... not up to Hartz's standards though the white gravy was watery and had little flavor, the mashed potatoes and the mac n cheese they gave me... it tasted... weird. i couldn't finish it. from what i could see on the inside too it looked dirty. Do not eat here! go to Popeyes if you want some good chicken! Now if you'll excuse me i need to get this disgusting taste out of my mouth.. read more

I dont give out bad reviews lightly. That being said, this trip to Hartz wasnt so great. There was a cloud of flies by the drink dispenser machine, right next to the food. I told the employee who wiped the counter ONCE and walked off, pretty much ignoring the flies. The bathroom is pretty rotten looking too. Onto the food. Im pretty sure these guys have a jihad against salt. None of the food i got had any kind of flavor. The dirty rice was bland and rubbery with hard pieces of gristle, the fried fish was hard as a rock but very thin, so pretty much inedible. The bread/peach pudding was burnt on the outside from sitting in a superhot pan all day i guess. The mac and cheese was runny and tasteless. The bread roll was ok. The premade icecream was ok. The sweet tea was good and sweet. The food however is very bland and unsatisfactory. It pains me to write this because this Hartz was my happy place. Im the -only- person in here on Saturday at lunchtime. (1pm) this place should be packed. The employees were nice but didnt care about the cloud of flies. No more Hartz for me. :/ read more

What has happened to this Hartz? Ate the buffet last night and it was not good. Chicken seems undercooked and greasy. No longer have fried okra. Rolls were cold. Mac and cheese tasted like mac sat in water until it soured. Could not eat it. Gave up and left. Will not go back! read more

This location was great. Went at around 7:35 at night and the food was moist and flavorful, even after the drive home.

I think they need to change the grease more often. Seems like meat items taste burnt or over cooked. Have eaten there several times and it never changes. May just be the cooks version of well done. read more

The restaurant was clean and everyone was friendly. The buffet featured a broad selection of items. The food quality itself was lacking. Chicken tasted like it was pre-packaged/frozen, then cooked and served. The mashed potatoes were instant. Gravy likely from a can. Simply okay. Not great, but not horrible. Just okay. read more

I'm am really surprised this place hasn't been shut down. After having a horrible experience this week, I will never eat here again. I ordered chicken tenders in drive thru, got home, bit into it and immediately had to spit it out. It literally tasted like a rotting dead animal!! I called just to let them know they are serving chicken that had gone terribly bad, the manager was very nice but I think The health department should really check this place out! Many others I spoke with said they stopped eating here a long time ago. Too bad though, they're rolls were good. read more

The food is good, little flies here and there but the foods really good. I feel this place is very underrated.
