    love their food but they could have put more fries

    LOVE this place! i drive an extra 20 minutes to eat here all the time because it's my favorite! the chicken is always juicy and everything comes out fresh and hot! i think how much they charge for sauces is a little ridiculous. and sometimes they really skimp out on the togo order fries, but have to give them 5 stars because their food is really just the best when it comes to fried chicken!! their fries are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft in the middle

    Cheesy Hot Chicken Sandwich and Chicken strips

    We thought we would give this place a try. My husband got a sandwich and I got the chicken strips. My husband did mild hot I did honey butter so mine wasn't spicy at all, my husband said his was okay, mine too was just ok. The fries were good but I didn't like their sauce they served with them. It cost us $30 for a Sandwich, 2 chicken strips, fries and a drink. The employees were really nice. The restaurant was not very clean the bathrooms were dirty and so was the dining room floor. We probably won't go back again.

    Great food! Their original hot chicken sandwich is the best! On the sandwich there is pickles, slaw and their house sauce. It's so good! You can pick your spice level. I always just do mild spice and it's very flavorful. Their fries are delicious and seasoned so well. I always get their house sauce to dip the fries in.

    Spicy heat level Chicken and Fries.

    First time at Houston Hot Chicken. Ordered the following: Spicy Heat level Chicken and fries - the head was tolerable and flavorful with nice deep heat in the after ear bite. Chicken was moist and juicy. Fries were Kringle cut and crispy with what appears to be season salt. I would give the chicken 9/10. Seasoned fries 7/10 due to some burnt fries. The entree came with 2 sides of house sauce. The house sauce seemed on the sweeter side which I didn't mind with the spicy chicken. Service: Efficient and fast service style. Order and take number to the table and the workers bring your food. Overall good meal and value is priced good compared to previous concept they had. Ambiance: Music is lively and loud.

    I work near here and wanted to give it a try. Got takeout, spent $12 on a sandwich and fries, and the patty on the sandwich was barely bigger than a chicken nugget and paper thin. The food was good, seasoned well. But if this is their regular portion size, I would not recommend this place.

    I love chicken and this place knows how to cook it!! The food is delicious!! The service was great and the food came out super fast! I love all the art work and the whole vibe of it! I do wish it wasn't as expensive as it is, since it costs a lot to feed our whole family.

    This place always blows me away. The food is always amazing no matter what I order. I haven't had a bad meal yet. I'm pretty sure if have had one of everything at this point. The tables aren't always clean but they are always willing to help if you just ask. The staff is absolutely amazing and always make my kids happy. We have even been given free cookies for the kids. Seriously too teir employees.

    We tried the chicken sandwiches and tenders, and the tenders were my favorite-crispy, juicy, and super flavorful.

    My favorite hot chicken place, and I've been to a bunch. I prefer the one on Lehi Main Street compared to the traverse mountain location. It's more comfortable and roomy. Service is quick and friendly. Food comes out quick and fresh and hot. I haven't been all that adventuresome and ordered something blazing hot. The milder spice levels. Always a great sandwich. We also ordered the tortilla chicken soup which was pretty tasty. We'll be back again soon.

    Tenders

    Well, I can say we gave this place a try and I simply do not understand the hype (or the prices). Sorry, but chick-fil-a makes better sandwiches at half the cost. I know it's meant to be a trendy spot and maybe it's more about a place in Lehi to socialize (and park your cheap lambo out front) but the line was out the door last night. I just can't imagine its for the food. You could taste the flour in the breading/batter. Fries straight out a bag. I'd say it's just "ok". If your whole theme and menu are based around chicken sandwiches, i figure they ought to be amazing. The pros? The service was outstanding. Every employee we interacted with was friendly and very helpful! It's not crammed full of tables and it's easy to move around in. This matters when visiting places. The dipping sauce for the fries is pretty great. 2 chicken tender meals, 2 chicken sandwiches = $60.

    Very good chicken, not dry. I love the most how both spicy and non-spicy chicken sandwiches and tenders are equally delicious.

    Place is clean. Medium spice was dry and unappealing. The mild was OK. Service was fine. We won't go back.

    Sonora on Main Street Do not let the location fool you…read more Tucked into a corner spot near the freeway entrance on Main Street American Fork, Ocotillo is easy to drive past and a mistake to miss. Step inside and you will find a beautifully decorated space with an open kitchen greeting you at the entrance and a staff that is genuinely enthusiastic about the food they are serving. Ocotillo specializes in the cuisine of Sonora, Mexico, a region known for bold meat and seafood dishes. They also offer a daily brunch menu that is worth planning your weekend around. We ordered the tres leches pancakes, a triple stack that delivers exactly what the name promises. Bathed in a three milk mixture and topped with fresh berries and whipped cream, moist but not to sweet. The Sonorense combination was equally impressive. Arrachera steak strips, chilaquiles made with poblano chile, a tamal de elote, and two eggs. The arrachera was excellent and the chilaquiles were crispy, which is exactly how they should be and not something every kitchen gets right. The menu is long enough that choosing something different next time will be a genuine challenge. Omelettes, chilaquiles, brioches, and other specialties give you plenty of reasons to return. We are already looking forward to exploring the lunch and dinner menu. Slightly more expensive than a standard breakfast spot, but the generous portions and the quality of the ingredients justify every dollar. Five stars without hesitation.

    Epic brunch adventure for us. Delicious sauce on the chilies and the meat was incredible. Loved…read morethe chips and salsa as well waited. Having a wife from Mexico she approves the menu and the food.

    Amazing customer service and our food was served super quickly but not at the cost of quality!…read more The vibe was chill, even 45 minutes before closing time. All the customers were happy and the employees were smiling and kind and responsive. I had the Jonny burger and my wife had the caesar salad- both of us agree they were delicious! Leslie and Megan were the two outstanding employees who helped us order and brought us our food and answered our questions. I didn't interact with the chefs at all, but they sure whipped up some good food super fast so they deserve credit too! One thing I noticed is that Megan and Leslie were super kind and cheerful from the minute we walked in. I overheard Leslie mention to Megan that she was working a "clo-pen" which is a closing shift followed by an opening shift. The thing that stood out is that Leslie was HAPPY to work the clopen. I've never heard an employee (even my wife who is a manager for Dutch Bros) not complain about doing a clopen. Props to her!! The staff who worked tonight 8/14/26 should all get raises. Management, take note. You've got some amazing employees who proved to the customers tonight that they deserve raises, and they proved it without even intending to. Great food, great service, great staff, and a lovely environment for us to enjoy!! (Of course, I wouldn't suggest everyone come in right before closing but even when we did, we only had the best experience- as if it were the starts of the staff's shifts)

    I really wanted to like this place. I really tried to like this place...but I have to be honest…read more Let's start with the good--the bbq vibe was strong (country music, chalkboards with drawings, bbq smell wafting thru the air). Now for the not-so-good. We usually call ahead because we have a few family members with food allergies. We called ahead and everything sounded kopacetic. We arrived and ordered our food. One member of our 6 person party ate a couple of fries (which she asked about ahead of time due to her allergies) and she noticed something different about the fries. We asked one of the workers if they put something on the fries because they were crispy on the outside. The worker said "I don't think so." We asked if he could check to be sure so he went to ask. He came back and said "it's just crispy coating." So again we asked "can you tell us what is in the crispy coating because we are trying to avoid an allergic reaction." He replied "it's just crispy coating I don't know what's in it." So we asked "is there anyway you can find out what's in the crispy coating?" He replied "there is definitely a way to find out." He goes to the back...again. When he returns he says, "we fry the fries in a fryer with our chicken tenders. I would suggest not eating the fries." His suggestion is well-taken but we still don't know what's in the 'crispy coating.' When we were ordering, one member in my group asked for the two meat plate with brisket and pork ribs. The menu says "pork ribs." The worker said "We don't have pork ribs. We have ribs." So ribs it was. Giving a little room for grace, he was a young man who seemed to be new. BUT if you are at the cash register taking orders, you really should know what's on your menu. As for the food, it was disappointing. Portions were small. For the two meat plate with brisket and sausage, I was given one piece of brisket and a small hot link. To be fair, the menu says "8 oz" for the two meat plate so you kind of know what you're getting. When the order comes out, it looks very small. The brisket was a little on the dry side. The hot link was tasty but small. Buyer beware. TLDR; not coming back
