    Ignore the caprese salad , that was home made and has nothing to do with this post lol
    Myesha M.

    I have a couple of employees who have been bragging about Henderson chicken for a couple of years now . They were always comparing Henderson to both Rudy's chicken and hall's chicken, both of which I am also huge fans of . And I finally, got my hands on some and I have been stuck on it and craving it regularly, every since . One thing I'd like to say to give an idea of their chicken is they are in the middle of Rudy's chicken and halls chicken, where as Rudy's chicken is overly seasoned, halls isn't seasoned at all, but Hendersons chicken is seasoned to perfection. My kids said they have the best chicken strips in the DFW , and we'll continue to test their opinions as we come across other places . Now, It very important that you understand that location plays a huge factor in your experience. Personally, I love the Lancaster location not including the overwhelming level of anxiety that I get for them being so freaking tiny and having so many people standing around outside and inside of the restaurant, but because the Lancaster location workers are always so friendly , welcoming , I'm good spirits and the food is always hot, fresh and always good. Now I've read so many reviews regarding the drive thru locations in Desoto , and I can say my experience the couple of times I've gone have always been similar to the majority of the people's reviews. The desoto location, the workers are RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, GHETTO, IMPATIENT AND I can list a number of other unpleasant words to describe them. I exaggerate none when I tell you, I've gone before and was approached at the intercom with "what you want "??? And as I'm telling/listing to the lady what I want she would continue to interrupt me each time with asking " is that it"? Like I really wanted to snap and address her about her unprofessional behavior and rushing me as if I wasn't doing them a favor and aiding to their business with my hard earned money, but I also know better then to be aggressive with people handling your food. I will admit that her tone was different and changed when I got to the window , she even complimented me on my hairstyle. Or ??? maybe the lady on the intercom and the lady at the window are two different people??. Either way, they are always rude for no reason. And I only still go to that Desoto Location when I really want some Henderson chicken but I don't feel like getting out of my car and confronting my anxiety. My five stars is for the recipe it's self , all locations that I've gone to the food is always good and hot . but my 5 stars, are also for the great hospitality/customer service at the location in Lancaster.

    I love this place! No joke, I'm a huge fan of chicken! It's the thighs for me each and every time! Chicken is hot, fresh, and sizzling! Let's not forget extra crunchy!!! You can never go wrong here! Not gonna lie, I ate all this by myself! There's no sharing here, get your own basket!!!!

    favorite chicken in dallas and especially this location. I usually get the wings. wife gets some tenders. the fries aren't the worlds best but it's seasoned perfectly without being too much. crispy. good. best chicken. and stuff.

    The restaurant wasn't very busy but we waited for nearly an hour for our food. I'm assuming the wait time was due to the employees taking turns going in and out standing around outside smoking. They did appear to wash or sanitize their hands but they apparently for what we ordered because it was completely wrong. However the food they served us was good but wish it would've been what we ordered. Probably wait a while before going back there again or at least go on a different day and time.

    Good ole chicken shack!

    If you're hungry and want some hot, delicious, and reasonably priced chicken this is the place for you! I grew up on Henderson's chicken as a child since my grandmother lived in South Dallas and it's still the same. This was my first visit to this location in particular and like all of the rest, the customer service was great and the food excellent. Both my husband and I got a 3 piece white(2 wings and a breast) that came with peppers, fries, bread, and pickles for around $10. The breast was really juicy and not dry and the wings were heaven as always. There is one right up the street on loop 12 that is good but this one is really good. Stop in TODAY for some good ole hot Henderson's chicken. Yum!

Typically, I rate based on several visits to get an overall picture of the place, but I will bypass the rule if the experience was exceptional (#1). Mike's was downright excellent. I ate the food warm and I ate it cold, and I'm still thinking about it. I tried to save some time by ordering online and also bypass any potential lines. Thankfully, there were none when I arrived, but a very full house of happy eaters despite being well past primetime lunch hours. The staff was friendly in the front but fielding many orders at the same time. I missed the literal pick up window outside, but was happy to get a gander of what it looks like inside. There's plenty of seating for groups and the place seemed a lot cleaner than the divey narratives folks emphasized. Prices were not astronomical, as I paid $14 and $13 for an order of 4 tenders + 2 sides, as well as 2 wings and 2 sides. The tenders were nothing like a Raising Cane's with skimpy portions and high price tags, instead it was plump, crispy, and perfectly fried. The accompanying sauces (Mike's sauce + buffalo sauce) were excellent additions and complimented the crispy fries. I was extremely impressed with the mac & cheese and very flavorful, mashed potatoes and gravy. The wings were no different: soft exterior with a nice crunch, meaty chunks off the bone, and wasn't too greasy. While the green beans weren't the most memorable side, the creamy corn was strangely addicting. Next time, I'm ordering the sides separately and in a large. I can only hope the other locations are just as good and will make good effort to visit them all. It's a rare occasion to be this infatuated with a place, but I'm confident it will be the first on my return list when I'm back in Dallas again. ___________ (#1) Or exceptionally bad.

    Funny how I've never even heard of this place until tonight. I was starving, and my kitchen is…read morecurrently out of commission because I tried to shove a few pounds of dry, charcoal chicken breasts down the garbage disposal (I thought the blades would just crush them into protein powder or something? Bro, plumbing is confusing). Naturally, I had to ask AI where to get the absolute best fried chicken in Dallas, and it sent me here. Ordering online was super easy, though I wished the menu had pictures because I like to see what I'm getting. Exactly 20 minutes later, I got the text that it was ready. The parking lot is tiny. If you drive a big truck, be prepared to maneuver like a pro if it's packed. Inside was busy, but there was zero heavy grease smell lingering in the air. You could easily grab lunch here and go about your day without smelling like a literal fryer. Plus, the crowd was surprisingly chill. Nobody gave off that chaotic, sketch energy you get at a KFC or Wingstop where you feel like you have to lock your truck doors three times just to walk inside safely. It's a really calm environment, which is awesome if you hate loud crowds. Pickup took less than 5 minutes. After a 15-minute drive home, the chicken was still loud-crunchy and insanely crispy. Puts fast-food chains to absolute shame. Fair warning: my first drumstick was a massive sodium bomb that almost made me rage quit and leave a two star review. But I was so hungry, so a quick drink later, piece number two and on were absolute perfection: juicy, meaty, and flawlessly seasoned. So that first piece of chicken just was coated in not-fully-mixed-well seasoning batter or something like that. I am officially obsessed. Come September when bulking season hits, I'm literally going to live here.
