    Original Hot Chicken Sandwich
    Juvanny J.

    The hot chicken sandwich was delicious. Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender & juicy on the inside. The sauce really stood out too and pairs well with the flavor of the chicken. The fries were crispy and fresh. Exactly how they should be. The mac and cheese was also great. And the customer service was top-notch. Amber was friendly and attentive. And the service was fast. Overall great experience. The ambiance was relaxed alaid back.

    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 have eaten at this place several times over the years and it used to be really good, until today. I ordered on Uber Eats because I was off late.. when I opened the box, there was only a handful of fries, there was a tiny sprinkle of coleslaw, barely any sauce, and the chicken was tough and dry I couldn't even finish eating it. Terrible experience. Sad this place is going downhill. Used to be a favorite, not so much anymore!

    Went by the other day for their chicken tortilla soup which was phenomenal by the way! Highly recommend! The service was great, shout out to Vincent for always being so welcoming and kind.

    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.

    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!!

    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!!!

    AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!! My husband and I were on our way to a birthday party and we got to the spot…read moresuper early. Hubby just got off work and was getting hungry so we started searching for a place to eat and found this place. What a hidden gem!!! I wish I could keep this place my little secret but it's too good to keep. The food is FANTASTIC! You can feel the love that was put into the food here. It's hard to find a place whose food reminds me of my dad's cooking. My dad was the BEST chef in the world!! It's hard to find anyone who could come close. Chef Larry, did just that!! His food brought me back to my childhood. If you are looking for a taste of comfort, look no further...this is the spot. We ordered the Smokin Luau, which was a little bit of everything. All the items were on point!! Chicken lumpia...whaaa?? There's not too many people who serve chicken lumpia!!! This alone is a win! The pancit was yummy, chicken Katsu, oh my! Bbq Pork...I don't even eat pork but I did today AND that's what brought me back to my childhood. It was such a good memory. This will probably be the only place I will eat pork, it's that good!! The service was great! We came on the 2nd year anniversary...we got free cake!! That was a bonus!! The ambiance was cozy and pleasant. Very comfortable and just felt like home. The people serving and cooking were all very nice. If you're looking for great food, a comforting atmosphere, and fabulous service, you gotta check this place out!! We'll definitely be back, it's worth the 30 minute drive.

    Wow! This place is so good that I came back the next day to order another bowl. The first time I…read moretried this place, I ordered the chopped brisket smoking size with double pancit and lumpia. It also included a lemon for the pancit and sweet and sour sauce for the lumpia. They also have a condiment bar where you can also add bbq sauce or other sauces to your meal. The second day I had to come back and try the pastrami bowl with double pancit and lumpia (the lumpia and sauce not pictured on the pastrami bowl cause I took it to-go so it was in the bag). Both of the bowls tasted AMAZING!! The brisket was soft and juicy, and the pastrami was also tender and flavorful. They were both so good. The pancit in the bowls also tastes amazing. Probably the best tasting pancit so far in Vegas. The concept here of BBQ and Filipino food was such a good idea. I love that the portions are very generous! It's definitely worth the price. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the food items on their menu. The guy at the front taking orders was also very sweet and kind. I highly recommend this place if you haven't been. This place is a hidden gem! If you're reading this considering if you want to go- GO! I only went because I saw the highly rated reviews, and now I see why. I had to leave a review because it was THAT GOOD!

The bad news is the rest of the sandwich was disappointing. I ordered the turkey and salami on sourdough. For my toppings I got tomato, onion, pickle, mayo, oil and red wine vinegar. For my cheese I selected cheddar. I also got the "big" version of the sandwich, the 8 inch. I also decided to order a cup of the New England clam chowder. After all it was Friday and I can always eat some good soup with a decent sandwich. I tried the soup first. It was so not hot that it was thick like paste! It was extremely salty and had a very bad fishy taste from the clams. Almost where I wonder if they were spoiled. I threw the remainder away. As I unwrapped the sandwich, I had to look back at my order to see if I ordered the kids size or something. Not only did it appear small in length, but there was hardly any meat on the sandwich. As you can see from the pictures, the turkey is barely even an ingredient at this point. Such a sad excuse for a sandwhich. Like I said though, the sourdough bread itself is great. Everything else, not so much. Such a shame. I was really looking forward to having a nice fresh sandwich shop close by.
