    Very nice hot chicken sandwich and strips. The sauces are actually spicy. Delivery service was quick and easy through lunch drop. Price was okay.

    We really enjoyed trying this place. The employees were very cool. The food got to use super quick and wow you get a bang for your buck. The meals are massive, we had leftovers for a whole other day. The original with no spice I will say lacks a bit of flavor but the texture is great. The fries are soooo delicious. I want to come back and try their new Mac and cheese.

    The food is great, made to order fresh! The tortilla soup is wonderful. Great flavor. The loaded fries is enough for two people! Better come hungry!

    Chicken tender "lift off" style. SUPER spicy

    To all of my SPICY LOVERS out there... YES. I came here with an old friend to explore some of the menu items. My friend ordered the strawberry hibiscus frozen lemonade. I had the cucumber watermelon (not frozen) lemonade. I highly recommend the lemonade not frozen. You are gonna need the drink! Extra side of water would be even better. I ordered the spicy sandwich combo that came with a tender. I asked them to make the tender "lift off" style which was SCORPION PEPPER SPICY! Super good and loved the flavors. Everything from the taste of the spicy chicken sandwich to the amazing flavor of their fries. If you are not a sweet/ spicy fan.. im not sure this would particularly be " your jam" but it was ours. We LOVED it. Service was very friendly and helpful. The wall painting was so cool. Such a "hip" vibe. Highly recommended!!

    Was in the area and saw that Houston TX Hot Chicken is around the corner. It was a no-brainer that I had to eat here again, especially after I was left impressed the first time I had their food at Katy. This time I had their secret menu, and tenders with slaw. The secret menu was 2 Belgian waffles with tender and slaw. I had the honey butter rub which was so good. The Belgian waffles were served hot and crispy. The tender was cooked perfectly, and it paired well when dipped into the mild spicy house sauce. I love the tenders and slaw too. Everything was served piping hot and fresh. Food was served to my table and the staff were so polite. Though this restaurant isn't as big as the one at Katy, there is still a good number of seatings for big and small groups.

    Another hot chicken restaurant in Houston. I had lunch here a couple of weeks ago for the first time. It's in a nice strip center with parking in front. Inside it's a counter service eatery nicely decorated. I ordered the original hot chicken sandwich w/fries for $13 and added a drink from the self serve drink fountain. They have several heat levels and I went with mild. The food took about 10 minutes before ready. The sandwich and chicken tender is a little smaller than some of the competition however it was still big enough and plenty of food. It was a good tasting sandwich. Also the crinkle cut fries were hot and had Cajun dust sprinkled on them and good tasting too. I would be glad to return and order this meal again.

    Greatest chicken, better people. Best service in college station and definitely best chicken. Spicy as you want it. Can't wait to come back.

    Original hot chicken, nuggets, and fusion fries.

    I really wanted to like this place a lot but I think Hot Chicken is just not something that I enjoy as everyone else does. Having said that Houston Hot Chicken has a lot of sauce options and it's a great addition to the growing halal scene in the Houston/Cypress area. I have tried their Original hot chicken, nuggets, and fusion fries. On another trip I tried their classic chicken sandwich. Between the original hot chicken sandwich and the classic I think I prefer the classic one. The classic one does not have the sauce on the sandwich but it's also lacking the coleslaw. If I go back I will probably get the sauce on the side for the original and have the sauce on the side. I remember really liking their coleslaw but the sauce is just not for me. I dipped my fries in the sauce on my most recent visit and I just did not like it. I found it to be a bit sour and the flavors did not really sit well with me. It's a good spot if you are in the area and want a quick bite to eat especially if you are looking for a halal spot. Service was nice and friendly.

    Inside

    Service was nice, and the ambiance was clean and with modern decor. The chicken was decent. I got the honey which lack seasoning but was good with the dipping sauce. Others ordered medium which had a decent amount of seasoning. I wonder if the no spice means no flavor??? About that waffle.... It's a big no for me. It was super sweet with chucks of sugar crystals- a huge turn off. One was so big it looked like a tooth. We also tried the red velvet puck and it lives to its name. It was gross and crumbly. Recap: Chicken decent Waffle gross Red velvet Puck- puck

    Everyone is so friendly and helpful. They greet you as soon as you walk into the restaurant and thank you for stopping by when you leave. It feels great to be acknowledged right away. The food tastes amazing as well and their milkshakes are soo delicious. The place is very clean and welcoming. I would definitely recommend it. Overall great experience every time my daughter and I visit.

    Chicken sandwich- get in my belly!

    Super awesome the third time. Highly recommend this place again. Went with the spicy again and it was awesome

    Loaded Fries
    John W.

    I love this place. Their chicken is so good. Perfectly spiced and juicy. It's not an artificial spice either, it's that good stuff. I got the loaded fries and they were yummy. The coleslaw adds a nice touch, and the chicken was amazing as always. The fries are the weak point, but the chicken makes up for it. They give so much food here, i took half of it home for leftovers too. The vibe of this place is pretty cool. It feels kinda bougie while still being a fast casual restaurant. The service is always good too, i never have any complaints. The food is usually out pretty quick. I'm looking forward to coming back here!

    Came here for a Thursday lunch, as I was craving a chicken sando! Initially found this place from a Yelp Elite week, and the first go round was super yummy, so the choice was easy when we were looking at places to go! We arrived during lunch rush hour, so parking lot was full, but there's plenty of places to park. Came in to a clean, and bright restaurant, love all the bold colors and paintings they have on the wall. Our wait wasn't long, and were greeted quickly by smiling staff. The lady who took our order was super patient as we navigated the menu with questions on spice level and drink options! I got the plain chicken sandwich combo, which comes with housemate pickles and no cole slaw and a side of fries with the strawberry hibiscus lemonade! Let me tell you, this sandwich is big, I could only eat half, and the portion of fries is quite large too, and seasoned deliciousously! We also got the original chicken sandwich combo which comes with the pickles and coleslaw and then an order of the strips, all of which looked delicious! They've got a great variety of specialty lemonades, which all taste yummy! Will definitely be coming back here, I saw someone with the fries, and they looked stacked and loaded, so that'll be the next order!!

    My husband and I ate here many years ago that it doesn't even count since we couldn't remember our…read moreexperience. We ordered in the drive-thru during that time. Thus, we were literally in shock when we entered into the venue and realized that it is a SIT-DOWN RESTAURANT! I didn't think it would be fast food style like Popeye's or KFC. However, I imagined it would be along the line of Cane's, but a little more upscale. My first reaction was, "Aww man, I'm going to have to pay more for something that is already sort of pricey." I'm thinking in terms of tipping. HOWEVER, I actually had a really great time here. The menu is simple, yet unique simultaneously with monthly special burgers and Korean inspired flavors. I LOVE the fact that you can substitute the crispy chicken for GRILLED. I'm all about eating out, enjoying food, but also trying to select better options. Healthy eating doesn't mean boring! This place seems like an American/Korean fusion restaurant, or an Americanized version of Bon Chon. The vibe is really cozy, intimate, and chill. It's a great spot to casually hang out with friends or family. The wait for the chicken was long, BUT it was worth the wait. The food was hot and fresh. The Korean BBQ OG Grilled Chicken Sandwich - It was huge! Even though I am a petite 95 lb lady, I devoured that sandwich. The flavor wasn't an authentic Korean flavor, but it wasn't bad! It was more sour and salty for my taste. I think it would balance out more if there were no pickles, and a mixture of the kimchi carrot slaw + regular mayo based coleslaw. Szechuan Fries - The Szechuan mustard sauce is powerful and incredibly overwhelming. I do NOT recommend that sauce at all. I think if you order these fries, just OMIT that mustard sauce. I felt like all my sinuses cleared up and my eye balls were about to pop out. Dirty Fries - You can't go wrong with cheese fries. I am not a sour person, so I didn't enjoy the pickles on the fries. Our server, Brenna, was INCREDIBLE! She is the main reason why this review is getting a 5 star. She didn't know that it was basically our first time and she still gave us exceptional service. She was friendly, patient, and sweet. We ordered the Szechuan Fries because it was a free offer upon signing up for their rewards program. I told her I didn't like the mustard sauce and she offered to get us the Dirty Fries! I was like, "What?!" The fries were already free, so I didn't expect her to even offer a substitution. ALSO, for the Kid's Meal, she let us know that the side could be substituted for something else at no extra charge. If she didn't make that known to us, we would have had no idea. I'm glad she mentioned it because the boys LOVE mac & cheese, so that was perfect. Also, we were already getting fries, so it helped us to get more variety. All in all, the place is a little expensive, but I had a great time. The service was superb, the food was great, and I noticed that they are involved in the community. I love supporting businesses that give back. Thus, I would recommend trying this place out, even if it's just once!

    Accustomed to Houston hot chicken, Red Chickz and the like, I causally walked into Tumble 22 fully…read moreexpecting a fast casual, order at the counter experience. Boy was I surprised to be seated by a hostess only to glance around to find a bar, enclosed patio and semi open kitchen. Did the meal itself differ from its fast casual counterparts? Not by much, but the offerings were more robust. I love to see pie on the menu alongside shakes, and while Mac and cheese and fries are welcome, orange chicken, Korean spices, broccoli salad, collards and heavenly eggs are a welcome change of pace. Our first trip (dine in) was about a 4-5 star experience. I waiter was not the most attentive and the food took quite awhile but the experience was positive enough for me to return. The second trip was a drive thru experience and it was...not as pleasant. Our service wasn't the best, our attendant less than enthused to be doing their job. A matter of fact, I felt like I was bothering her by ordering. While my food was fine, my sandwich came without napkins and again the food (one sandwich) took quite awhile. I'm unsure if I'll return with so many options in the area, but I'm glad I experienced them twice!

    While I have never been inside the restaurant and only utilize the drive-thru, the exterior and…read morevisible areas always appear clean and tidy. Additionally, the service representatives in the drive-thru are consistently pleasant, which I truly appreciate. Regarding the food, it is always freshly prepared, well-seasoned, and perfectly crispy. I particularly enjoyed the option to substitute fries for onion rings or corn nuggets, though I did note the $5.00 upcharge for these substitutions. I also noticed a white powder found on all the items that has a unique, tasty flavor--almost like a salt and sugar mix--though I wasn't quite sure what it was. The only negative I've found is that the food does not seem to reheat well, even when using an air fryer. However, when eaten fresh, it is delicious. Thank you for the consistently good service and quality.

But their attention to detail and chaotic scene behind the counter caused delays and mess ups on my order two times and they still messed up the when I got it. My wife and I ordered the tilapia and tenders as well as the snapper and wings. These dishes were amazing, first star gets knocked here. When I ordered I asked for the snapper and wings and he rung up snapper and shrimp. No worries I'll tell him to change it, told him and he said no problem. Messed up the order three times and had to remind them every time that it was the wings. My oldest got the chicken sandwich which looked amazing. Here's the second star, I asked them what came on the sandwich which was sauce and lettuce. My daughter is a plain Jane type lady so I asked for no sauce. What do we see when she opens the container? It's absolutely smothered in sauce and lettuce. I had to end up going to the store and buying buns to put tenders on the new bun.
