    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!

    My wife and I visited a barbecue restaurant we hadn't tried yet, "Rosako's Soulfood and BBQ." (2816…read moreBrown Trail, Bedford, TX 76021) As soon as I got out of my car, I knew I'd found something interesting. The restaurant had a sign stating, "Electric vehicle charging available here." Just to the right of the sign were two Level 2 chargers. We each ordered two 2 meat plates, which included two sides. When we got home and opened the to-go boxes, we realized we had WAY over-ordered. We had enough for two meals for each of us! We had chicken and pork ribs, mac & cheese and flat green beans. It was very tasty with a sweet and spicy barbecue sauce. I spoke with the owner and thanked him for supporting EVs, to which he replied, "How could I not? It's what's coming. How could I not get on board?" He mentioned that quite a few of his customers found him on Plugshare.com and stop by regularly for a meal and charge. I had to Google "So mote it be."

    We decided to order from this restaurant through the Too Good To Go app…read more I rarely write harsh reviews, but this experience deserves every bit of criticism. What happened today was unacceptable from the moment we walked in. The place was visibly dirty and completely unappetizing. The back area was mostly hidden behind what looked like a shower curtain, which did nothing to inspire confidence. There appeared to be only one man working, and he came out only a few times during the entire 45 minutes we waited. Even more concerning, there was a child who looked to be about eight or nine years old wearing latex gloves and repeatedly coming out to the front, apparently helping with restaurant tasks that no child should be doing. Despite having prepaid through Too Good To Go, no one acknowledged us for nearly 10 minutes. We stood in a hot dining room with almost no air conditioning while the child wandered in and out and the adult remained behind the curtain. More people arrived behind us, also with prepaid orders, until there were about 10 people waiting. We watched three other customers receive their food before us. One was a DoorDash driver, which made sense, and one woman had arrived before us. However, another woman with a very small order was served ahead of us even though she arrived after we did. When the man finally came out, we showed him our Too Good To Go order. He swiped the app, marking our order as picked up, then disappeared behind the curtain again and never returned with our food. After waiting 45 minutes in a sweltering dining room on a nearly 100-degree Texas day, we gave up. We left without the food we had already paid for. At that point, losing the cost of the meal was preferable to staying in that environment any longer. This was one of the worst pickup experiences I have ever had. Between the unsanitary conditions, the lack of staff, the presence of a child apparently performing restaurant tasks, the complete absence of customer service, and the fact that we never even received the order we had already paid for, I can say with complete confidence: We will never return.

We also ordered a slice of Red Velvet Pound Cake. Every dish we ordered was delicious and flavorful. The wings were crispy and very flavorful. The Oxtail Soul Bowl was packed and loaded on top of a bed of corn bread and it came with a huge piece of corn bread on the side. The red velvet pound cake was something different, but good too. Just very sweet especially drinking their half gallon "Mystery" juice which was good, but also pretty diabetes sweet. I tried my best to get the mystery ingredients from one of the cashiers, but she held strong lol. Overall, it is a pretty expensive type of food, but the portions is pretty huge and fulfilling as well so it balances out. The staff were super friendly and the food didn't take too long to come out.

I expected to be able to sit down inside with my family and was pretty disappointed that the entire sitting area was blocked off and they're only allowing to go and take out orders. I waited about 35 minutes for two plates of food and spent $71 which I thought was way toooo pricey for just two plates. The soulful bowl with brisket was okay, the brisket wasn't super flavorful, the mac & cheese was a bit too salty and I had high hopes for the yams but they were pretty dry. The catfish and shrimp plate was also below expectations as the shrimp batter was falling off (not fried long enough) and the catfish was a bit fishy. Also I had to beg for cocktail and tartar sauce and got a little attitude when I asked for them. All around not the best experience and don't think I'll be making it back.

Good portion flavor was amazing.. (For me a bit too sweet), but overall good. Corn bread, now exactly how it was described, very velvety it melts in your mouth.

I am…read moregiving a very generous 4 star review mainly because of the woman who was plating all the food behind the counter and because this place is a soul food spot not southern. I came here today a little after 5pm and did not get a greeting like everyone else did when I walked into the door. They were pretty busy with to go orders around this time. There is an entrance area where you order and pay for your food and a separate area for dining in. I ordered a catfish fillet with Mac n cheese and sweet potatoes and fried shrimp basket with fries and greens to go. I ordered at 5:15 and got my food at 5:45 and let me tell you, it was the longest wait of my life. I think the A/C must've been broken because it was hot in the waiting area and it didn't help that one of the front desk girls kept complaining about them still being open for another hour. There were a bunch of flies everywhere and the front area doesn't seem to be cleaned throughout the day. I also feel for the woman who puts the plates together because she's doing it by herself and was constantly asking the front desk girls to bag the orders. She stayed calm though and still greeted people as they were coming in. Now for the food. The shrimp basket was $25.99 and the catfish was $19.99. The shrimp was good, kids approved. The catfish was good too. All the food was made fresh to order so I can appreciate that for quality. Onto the sides. I think the French fries were accidentally season with sugar instead of salt. The greens were ok, just drenched with garlic. The Mac n cheese, ehhh. I was looking forward to the Mac n cheese but it wasn't as cheesy as I was expecting but tasted ok. The sweet potatoes were really good, probably my favorite side out of the four. The cornbread was moist and good. Overall, food was good but definitely overpriced. However, I do support small businesses but still think it's a bit overpriced based on portion size. They do require you pay for your food before you sit down if you are dining in. This may be because of too many incidents where people dine and dash. I do think that the lady behind the counter putting the plates together needs better help. No offense to the young girls they have working there but either train them or get someone who can actually do the job. If you are looking for true southern food, this ain't it. Texas food vs. southern food are 2 completely different things which I am learning the hard way now having lived here for a year.
