    Sandwich & Tender
    Kat O.

    I tried the chicken nuggets and fries. The nuggets were really good and moist. I love the dipping sauce it came with. I don't like things too spicy so I was happy with the mild option. The fries tasted dry and were disappointing. Husband got the sandwich and tender meal. He was a fan of the "lift off". He loves hot things and found it satisfying. He's looking forward to trying the hottest option. We ordered to go and the wait was minimal. Service was great. Overall we were happy and will most likely come back.

    It's been awhile stopped by for a quick bite ordered an Original with medium heat. Always a great quick bite and always consistent in quality and taste.

    I came here on a Friday late night since I was craving chicken tenders. It was a great choice. Starting from the service, angel took our order and he was super pleasant. We got mild, medium, and honey rub. They were all delicious. I usually can't take spice that well but the medium wasn't that spicy to me. I got the house sauce which is prob the best. It's gives sweet thousand island vibes? But it goes well with all the chicken. The chicken was also not dry like some places and the outside was crispy. I believe it was Pedro who made our chicken! Delish. There was also another cashier that was friendly to us, a young white dude. Wish I got his name too. Everything from the start to end was great and I'll be returning whenever I'm craving some tenders!!

    Houston TX Hot Chicken serving chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, chicken nuggets, salads, fries choices of different toppings with chicken, Belgian waffle, milkshakes, cookies and drinks. Chicken can be made with no sauce or a choice of flavored sauce. House dipping sauce is included and you can also get additional dipping sauces there are lots to choose from for $1.00. Clean inside, good lighting, good music and friendly staff. I like that the staff are keeps the dining area clean. On the menu: 2 Tenders no pickles and Waffle with French Fries meal. I like that I could choose a different flavor of sauce for each of the chicken tenders, I chose mild and lemon pepper. Good portions. I like the crinkle cut fries that are lightly seasoned. The waffle is yummy it is crispy on the edges. I ordered addition dipping sauces - cheese sauce and ranch. Their house sauce has a little sweet chili flavor. It was my first time here and I like it actually pretty good. I am adding this to my chicken spot rotation.

    Excellent fried chicken - based restaurant. Having lived in Houston myself, I was reluctant to try chicken as I felt there is no such a thing as Houston style chicken. However - it turns out it is Nashville style chicken!!! Very clean and hot environment, good music and good vibes. Original Chicken is pretty good with nice sauces. I tried nuggets as well as sandwich. Loaded fries were awesome!

    Medium spice level
    Kiara C.

    I really enjoy the Houston Hot Chicken Henderson location. The staff are very friendly and they will help you chose a menu option if you have trouble choosing. Customer service is A+! I ordered the Southwest Salad with the medium spice level and seasoned fries. The chicken was juicy and crispy. I love spicy food and the medium has a little heat with flavor. The salad could have had greens that were more fresh but overall it was a tasty salad. Also, I love the crinkle cut fries and the seasoning is perfect. If you not sure about the spice, start with mild or medium. I'll definitely visit again to try more spice levels.

    Made it back just in time for my Texas Caesar Salad with non spicy chicken!

    I was adamant even though I heard WONDERFUL things about this place but the name being hot I was assuming it was spicy and I'm a total baby when it comes to food that is too spicy (embarrassing I know) lol but when I picked up my chicken caesar salad non spicy and was amazed!!! It was delicious! I also got their lemonade it tasted home made not like Minute Maid or something it was more tart than that! Sooo delicious. This was on my lunch break at the time so I didn't get a chance to scope out the atmosphere of everything just grab my food, but YUM now I literally dream of this salad! Ordering and picking up my food the girl that helped me was super sweet and on top of it when I went in quick to grab it! I believe she was the same girl I talked to over the phone because she was that nice! The vibe there seemed busy even though I was in and out I loved how cute it was decorated!! Very red, CLEAN, the decoration was so cute!!! I would LOVE to return and try more of their non spicy options on my day off and get to sit down, enjoy and take more pics of their adorable lay out of furniture! The vibes of it almost reminds me of one of the restaurants from pulp fiction so I will for sure get more pics!!!

    This place is just going downhill. I come here on a regular basis. The last two times I've been here, I've waited for my food longer than what was listed for pick up time on my app. It's beyond ridiculous. I understand you guys might be short staffed. But you should probably try to fix that. Today, there were all these people waiting in line and I didn't realize people were sitting down and waiting for their food as well. There was at least four people working, I don't understand the delay. Maybe they just need to shut off their online services and focus on the people there if they are that busy. What really made me more mad was that my order was already ready, and the register Employee kept telling me it wasn't ready. I literally waited for 20 minutes for nothing. My food was in front of her face sitting on the counter, but she couldn't tell if my order was ready. How pathetic. This is why I do NOT TIP. After these last two times, I'm gonna rethink whether or not if I really want Houston's at this point even when that chicken was damn good.

    This place was great when it first opened a couple years ago, but like most corporate chain restaurants, they have gone way downhill since. I order from here fairly often and the decline in food and service decline noticeably every time. So while I would have given a 5 star review a couple years back, it has dropped all the way to one star now. I am writing this review while waiting for my food to be done which was supposed to be 10 minutes ago. The food is consistently not on time (they give you the time to pick up your order when you order online. The portions are about half of what they used to be (salads & fries) Food portions: small Food packing: sloppy French fry seasoning: none Napkins: cheap and covered in grease

    Chicken sandwich and tender meal
    Jaslyn S.

    First time here , got the sandwich and tender combo. Husband ate the sandwich w mild heat , he said it had the right amount of spice . I had the lemon pepper flavor on mine and it was perfect for this no spice gal. Chicken was tender and juicy . Very casual spot with great music while we were there and the service was quick.

    The best way in the healthiest way to eat chicken sandwiches. Alex is an amazing customer service employee makes everybody feel very warm and welcome and acknowledge being here. He has a great energy and a great vibe and really enjoys what he does and it's really cool to come into a store like this he's awesome and deserves a promotion. Always great, easy listening music short lines delicious meals. This is how food is supposed to be made. If you're out in Vegas it's worth coming out here to the Henderson area to grab this type of sandwich in a very peaceful environment with easy parking.

    Amazing customer service and with a SMILE Klyde is always…read moreamazing Location is clean and food taste on point every time

    I've had my eye on this sandwich shop for quite a while and we decided to try them out one night…read more It was the day after Christmas and we decided to do takeout, many restaurants would still be packed with the holidays still lingering. We placed an order online, where we both ordered 9" long subs. I got the albacore tuna sandwich and Kyle ordered the pastrami melt sandwich. This place isn't too far from my house so we would go pick it up right when we placed our order, which was ready right away. Both sandwiches came with our choice of chips on the side. The albacore tuna sandwich was delicious. I did go for the extra mayonnaise, I'm not sure why. The extra mayo did make it a little messy. Inside the sub were lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños. But the jalapeños, though, were suuuuuper spicy!! I've never had anything remotely spicy like this, like there were full jalapeños inside. Kyle said that his sandwich was hot and cheesy. Both of us ended up saving the other half of our sandwiches as our leftovers, but Kyle left his half behind at my house. I ended up having the other half of Kyle's pastrami sandwich so it wouldn't spoil in my fridge overtime. It was really good, but this one was also spicy. I was trying to find the source of the spice in this one and it turns out it was the mustard hidden behind the pastrami. With cheese inside, I believe it was Swiss, I only like cheese with other food items together, but it tasted like I was eating it alone, which gives a very weird, very strong taste to me. We also got two coupons each valid for this location (Green Valley Pkwy) only. I don't see an expiration date on them, so if I have an excuse to come back here again anytime, this is it.

It smelled heavenly, but the real magic happened when I put the fork in the bunch! Smokin' Sammich Is one of those places that's tucked in the back of a shopping center. But I'm telling you right here and now it is absolutely worth the hunt! I had read about this place online, saw some Instagram posts about it and decided it was about time for me to try it for myself. This is not one of those quick little snack places, this is when you are seriously hungry and need something to keep the wolf from the door. Everything looked so amazing on the menu, I really didn't know what to do. I opted for the bowl with noodles and rice, brisket, I paid extra to have the side of grilled pork belly, and it also came with a couple of egg rolls. I jumped into the egg rolls first, they were so good. At first I was a little put off because they seem so small, but in this case big things come in small packages! Packages! And the dipping sauce for the rolls, top notch! I had to use a lot of restraint, because I wanted to dig right in, but I wanted to taste the meat on its own, as that is the mark of a really good barbecue. I'll just say this, I would put this meat up against anyone in a competition! The brisket was fall apart tender, had great bark on it, and had just the right amount of smoke. It was still moist, and so flavorful. The pork belly was absolutely amazing. Like the brisket had great bark on it but was tender, and juicy on the inside. All I could think about while I was eating it was how awesome it would be on a cheeseburger. Let's talk about the rice and noodles. Most bowls use rice and or noodles as an afterthought. More of just a base to lay the meat on. Not this place. The rice was some of the best I've ever had. Had just the right amount of stickiness, and definitely tasted like it was just fresh cooked then and there. Same thing with the noodles. Absolutely flavorful and a great side dish. Okay, let's talk sauce. I brought home some of the spicy barbecue, as I like a little bit of heat with my sauce. And this one delivers in spades! Super delicious. Had just the right amount of heat at the back of my throat, and really complimented the meat without overpowering it. You could put this on the pork belly, the brisket or an old shoe.. anything would taste good with this sauce! Since I had rice, I knew I was going to want some of their teriyaki sauce. Wow! Just wow! You can tell this is not out of a jug from Costco. This stuff is homemade right there! Much like the spicy barbecue sauce, this had a little bit of a surprise kick to it. Definitely not overpowering and was an absolute joy to put on the rice and the noodles! Bottom line? This is going to be my go-to sandwich place for the rest of my life. I cannot wait to go back and try everything on the menu at least once. If you were ever in the area and you didn't stop by to get something here, then shame on you!
