    Best fast food hot chicken ever! The service was helpful and quick while providing high quality good sizes chicken tenders. Not only does it have heat but the ambiance was also just as stylish brining in amazing vibes with the great services!

    Great food and a little better take on the mild to hot range for their chicken menu. Did the habanero heat level, had a good kick. I'm ready to go up a level. They go all the way to Carolina Reaper hot, don't think I'll ever get to that level plus you have to sign a waiver for that one AND their is one part of your body that does not build up a resistance to the heat so you will be saying "OWWY OWWY AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" about 2 hours later. Staff was great and location in LA Centerra Katy TX is perfect overlooking the green. Nice bare and AC to at least keep you cool while you get that great tasting chicken with a nice mouth burn for those who love very spicy.

    Location is easy to find with plentiful parking in the shopping center. The service was great. You order cafeteria style and they'll call you up when it is ready. They also have a bar area which is nice. The food tasted great. I got a chicken sandwich meal and tenders. Spice level for hot was perfect for me.

    **Sandwich & Tender

    Sandwich & Tenders - One of the best hot chicken sandwiches I've had in Houston! Perfectly crispy with amazing flavor, but I personally preferred the tenders. They were even juicier. The sauce was light but flavorful. 9.5/10 Fries - A must-try! Super crispy, fresh, and seasoned perfectly. 10/10 Service - Friendly and helpful staff. 10/10

    Again, another great meal for the wife and I. Sat outside as it is a beautiful day. After seeing the size of the chicken tender, we split the 3-pc tenders and fries. We each ate one tender (about a half or a chicken breast? And took the other one home. Perfect meal for us.

    Got the salad with hot chicken and WOW... I wasn't expecting a salad to hit like that. The chicken was crispy, spicy, and full of flavor, and the salad was actually fresh and satisfying. A whole meal, not just a "salad.

    Classic chicken sandwich with iconic house sauce!!!

    If you love bold flavors and heat, Houston Hot Chicken is the spot. Their Nashville-style hot chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and comes in heat levels from mild to Houston we have a problem. The spice isn't just heat--it's full of smoky, garlicky, tangy flavor that builds with every bite. The sides are just as satisfying--creamy mac and cheese and savory collard greens pair perfectly with the fiery chicken. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it perfect for a quick, flavorful meal with friends. Bottom line: Houston Hot Chicken delivers on spice, flavor, and crunch. A must-try for anyone who can handle the heat!

    Me and my hubby love this place. We share a meal each time and it is always the right amount of food. The chicken is awesome! We have been 3 or 4 times already and plan to return several more times. Bar service is lacking so that the reason for the 4 stars and not 5.

    4.5 2nd time here! Loved it so much the 1st time I came back 2 days later. Service was fantastic once again. Decided to try out something different this time. I got the waffle milkshake (5 stars), fries, and honey butter tenders. Tenders were juicy BUT the honey butter lacks flavor unfortunately. It barely came through. My sister got lemon pepper and I wish I would've ordered that flavor instead. That being said, I'll be back anyways and will either order lemon pepper or mild. Place was clean as usual, music at a good volume, and service was quick and it was nice that the staff checks on us every now and then.

    **Three Tenders & Fries
    Steph W.

    Stumbled upon here as we were deciding where to eat. Great chicken store with extremely spicy levels. I got 3 chicken tenders and you can customize spicy levels, decided to try lift off for one of them. Booooooyyyy was it spicy but amazing. If you can tolerate good spicy food, you have to try them. Maybe will try the Houston level next time. Fries were ok, came with a sauce. They also served drinks aka full bar. Clean and tidy. It is $$$ for chicken, but better than many other chicken stores. Will be back!

    The temperature isn't the only HOT thing in Houston!! Stopped in to pick up some tortilla soup to go! Spice level "Houston, we got a problem" makes you sweat, but I love it! The spicier, the better! It's the best $5 you'll ever spend. The location is bright, clean, with modern decor, and spacious. The staff is super friendly, helpful, and patient.

    Chicken tortilla soup with spicy spice level
    Sharon T.

    The chicken tortilla soup is my absolute fav and it did not disappoint. I got the spicy spice level and it's just the right amount of kick. The customer service is A-1.

    Nicki M.

    Yes, yes, YES!! Every time it's amazing! I highly recommend the classic chicken sandwich with buffalo as the flavor sauce. The bun is perfect, the coleslaw adds a nice cool crunch, the pickles are crisp and delicious, the house sauce adds an extra layer of flavor, and the chicken that is moist and tender...so much yumminess! Have about 10 napkins on hand too! Besides the food, it has a nice vibe. Trendy bar scene or casual outside dining or even chill inside with friends- options! Enjoy this place- it's definitely my new favorite!

    This is the best non-food truck chicken sandwich in Houston. Mac & cheese is good. The shakes are even better. Can't go around here.

    My daughter ordered toekbokki using DoorDash. It took so long that a few dashers didn't want to…read morewait so it got delivered after a bit over an hour. For one dish, that's crazy. According to her, and I did sample it, the rice cakes were chewy and sauce was flavorful and spicy. I thought it wasn't enough for 16$+ door dash fee, but she thought it was comparable to other places, but not as good as Mama Noodle who didn't offer door dash. We may go back and try their chicken since that's getting good reviews; however, the increased prices are a turn off. We took a star off for the wait and price.

That said, my go to order is the Soy Garlic and Honey Garlic Wings. They're crispy, juicy, not over sauced and cooked perfectly. I love the pickled radish though be forewarned if you're not used to them. They will stink but trust me. They taste better than they smell. One important note about Korean wings: since they're double-fried, the bones will break and splinter pretty easily so BE VERY CAREFUL about giving them to younger kids unmonitored. Other items I've tried and while good, not what I would drive here to get (especially with how expensive the wings are). Traditional Original: Reminds of me Hooters wings a little. A bit too plain for me and while they're good, the flavored wings are why I come here. Boneless wings - Tried a couple and while they're good, not worth the price. But we do get these for the younger kiddoes. Secret sauce wings: I'd skip these. Flavor isn't bad, but way over-sauced and the wings are borderline soggy. Needless to say, they don't have the same crisp the Soy Garlic and Honey Garlic wings have.

I walked up and order the 2-pc London style. My wife, who was not down with the fried fish, went with the grilled chicken sandwich Came out pretty fast. And it was hot. Very hot. It came with fries (I guess that's their version of chips), onion rings and a hush puppy. Fish was just the way I like it for London style, which is a flour batter rather than corn meal batter. The sides were all good. It was just a lot of fried food. My wife's chicken avocado sandwich was huge. A massive chicken breast split and tons of avocado. I got a bite and it was very good. Good meal, reasonable price, friendly customer service so no complaints. I just wish they had real chips.

I really should have known better after walking in and it was warm and muggy, and the bathroom was kinda ran down grimy. Finally decided to give JLB another chance but decided to go to a different location. Walked in and was warm and muggy, the young lady at the register said she could turn on the fans, I was like yeah great idea . I went to the bathroom to wash my hands while my daughter and husband finished ordering, I came out and told her never mind we were not eating there and that the bathroom was disgusting. Also, I looked at the fans and thank goodness she did not turn them on! The dust was so thick and would have ended up getting all over everyone eating. What is it with the Katy locations A/C and bathrooms?! Is every JLB like this? I'm just trying to find a solid burger place since our move here. I'm just gonna stick to Old School Burger from here on out.

I'm not much of a seafood person, but my wife is. Thankfully they had a burger on the menu! Double smash burger and fries for me, Serafin's fish tacos for her.

The burger and fries were great, but when I saw and tasted the fish tacos I immediately knew I'd be getting them next time. I only got a bite, but it was yummy with the sauce.

    I hate writing this review because Half Shells at LaCenterra used to be one of my go-to places, but…read morethis visit was disappointing. The highlight of our experience was the service. Our server was friendly, attentive, and had a great attitude from start to finish. Unfortunately, almost everything else felt like a step backward. The menu has been reduced dramatically. Once you take away the oyster selections, there are very few entrée choices left. Many of the dishes that kept me coming back are no longer offered. The drink menu has also been cut down significantly. They used to have a much better selection, and it just doesn't feel like the same restaurant anymore. Another frustration is that they're in an area with poor cell service, yet customer Wi-Fi is no longer available. Whether you're trying to check a message, work while you eat, or simply stay connected, it's almost impossible. As for the food, it was just okay. Nothing was bad, but nothing stood out either. I ordered the crab cake with the arugula salad and a shrimp cocktail. Ironically, the small arugula salad that came with the single crab cake was the best part of my meal. The crab cake and shrimp cocktail were fine, but neither was memorable or something I'd come back for. Overall, it feels like Half Shells has lost much of what made it special. Between the limited menu, reduced drink options, lack of Wi-Fi, and average food, it's no longer the destination it once was for me. I truly hope they reconsider some of these changes because I'd love to see this restaurant return to what made it such a great place to dine.
