    Dined: 9 people on 4/14/26 We stopped in to celebrate winning our high school tennis match. We've never tried HHC but have tried Dave's HC and Twist HC. We LOVED HHC and feel it's slightly better than DHC & much better than THC. The hot is better and the chicken is juicier and moister! The chicken & waffle is AWESOME! Loved the fries and coleslaw as well. We will DEFINITELY be back!

    Earning my Yelp Elite status from exploring Houston's food scene, this interstate chicken chain made me proud. You order at the cashier, then listen for your name to be called at the register. I ordered the 3 tenders & fries, served with pickles (I opted out) and 2 house sauces (which I opted to keep as house sauces). I also got a regular strawberry hibiscus lemonade. My spice level was mild, but that did not at all take away from the explosion of flavor in this food! The chicken tenders were juicy and made with real chicken with its meat striated. The tenders and fries were coated with their house spice mix, which paired perfectly with their house sauce, which tasted like a comeback sauce but a bit darker and heavier on the tomato. Amazing. My drink came without ice and was very sweet and delicious. Next time, I'll try it frozen for an additional $1. Overall as a Texan who's been generally unimpressed with Arizonan food thus far, this chain cured some homesickness and provided a deliciously flavorful meal at a reasonable price.

    I came hear during lunch time and the restaurant only had a few people in it. I ordered and received my to go order within about 15 minutes. The cashier was super nice and made to sure to hand me silverware and a straw. The restaurant is extremely casual and has multiple large tvs on 3 out of 4 walls. There is outdoor seating. I wasnt super impressed with the food, the frys were good but they started to taste too sweet after a few bites. The chicken was a little bland, I did the mild level and I would definitely not get it again. I did order a side of their house sauce and unfortunately that didn't really help with adding flavor. I will say that the coleslaw was phenomenal!!! If you are going to go, I would definitely recommend that you ensure you have their coleslaw.

    Whenever I'm craving a hot chicken sandwich I always come here. The store is always clean, the employees are always friendly and the food is consistently tasty, I've had no complaints!

    Came here with my husband who wanted to try it. Houston TX Hot Chicken is on the corner of University and Rural. There is a small lot with free parking. Service was fast and friendly--can order at the counter or at one of two kiosks. I hadn't looked at the menu beforehand and quickly realized there wasn't much in the way of vegetarian food--possibly some loaded fries or a salad but there's no "chicken" substitute. I got cheese fries and a fountain drink. Husband got a chicken sandwich, fries, drink. Bill was around $30. While I wasn't thrilled with the vegetarian menu options, the crinkle cut fries were solid as was the cheese sauce. Tried the husband's mild sauce--lots of flavor. The atmosphere is sports bar-ish. There are 10 huge TVs and a giant painting of a sports car. There were two different songs playing--pop in the kitchen area and some kind of world-techno blasting in the dining area so loud it wasn't possible to have a conversation--at noon on a Thursday. I get every restaurant near ASU has to be able to serve food and transition to late-night drunk-food hang out, but honestly, the 10 screens in a small space and two different songs blaring was so overwhelming I debated fleeing to eat in my car.

    I recently made an online order through the app and it was so convenient! My order was ready once I got there and everything came out perfect. Once again this place is great! The food, service, and ambiance of the shop is still going good. If they were closer to me I'd visit more often!

    I'd been eyeing this place for couple weeks after seeing it on TikTok. I finally made it in, totally ready for some serious heat. I ordered the medium spice level and was waiting to cry because of the and... nothing. It tasted like the kitchen forgot the chili at all!!!!. I came specifically for the kick. Here's the rundown: * Medium-spice sandwich: no detectable heat. !!!!! * Chicken tender - butter honey, non spicy, ordered plain as a backup in case the sandwich melted my face off--turns out they were the only flavor on the plate. Juicy, yes, but zero spice. * Fries Classic crinkle-cuts. No special seasoning, but hey, fries are fries--they're hard to mess up and still tasted fine. * House sauce - not creamy enough, watery. So for now, it's a solid 3/5. I'm willing to give them another shot, but next time I'll either go a notch (or two) hotter or chat with the staff to make sure I'm actually getting the spice level I ordered. If that sandwich finally delivers the burn everyone raves about, I'll gladly bump the rating up.

    Not Hot! I had to sign a waiver. For What?? lol It's not for the weak though. I did sweat a little. Cogburns Competition Sauce is a lot hotter. Chicken was good. Looks bigger on the website. The staff was friendly and the restaurant is clean. I tried it at least.

    Love it. Just went by today and the chicken sandwich was delicious. The bun was soft and the chicken was flavorful. The fries were crispy and delicious. The house sauce tasted good. It reminded me of a creamy sweet and sour dipping sauce in a way. The medium might be a little much for me. I think I need to go light spice. There were lots of people coming in and out. It is a popular restaurant. The drinks are good. A little unusual with the flavor combinations with the lemonade, but fun to try. Hibiscus. Lavender. Cucumber. Lots of sports tvs. I hear they have happy hour discount for drinks. I would like to see food happy hour discounts. Service could be a little more professional. I suppose if they open a location further away, they might have more professional employees.

    This is by far my favorite fried check-in sandwich in the valley! The seasonings are on point! They have hot and then they have Houston we have a problem HOT! You can even get an alcoholic beverage to help put out the fire! You can sign a waiver and test your limits! The service is always great and never a long wait. You can sit inside and watch sports several TVs or you can get some fresh air and sit outside.

You can tell he actually cares about the dining experience and keeps up with his tables really well. Service alone was a 10 out of 10. Before coming in, we saw reviews complaining about a 20 minute wait for the food, but honestly that did not bother us because they let us know right away that the chicken is made fresh and would take around 15 minutes. If you know good fried chicken, you already know fresh chicken is worth the wait. I would rather wait a little longer for crispy, hot chicken than get something sitting under a heat lamp. And let me tell you, the chicken came out exactly how fried chicken should be. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, piping hot, and perfectly seasoned. The crunch had that fresh fry texture where you can actually hear it when you bite into it. For sides, I got the okra and mac and cheese. It was my first time trying fried okra and now I completely understand the hype. The seasoning on it was insanely good, especially paired with the Louisiana hot sauce. Definitely ask for the yellow peppers too because they add this juicy little pop of heat and crunch that takes the chicken to another level. Overall: 10 out of 10 service 10 out of 10 food 10 out of 10 atmosphere If you actually love fried chicken and appreciate fresh food made right, this spot is absolutely worth checking out.

The outside honestly looked like one of those cozy restaurants you'd see in a K-drama with the glowing lights and busy vibe. When we walked in, it was already pretty packed, and more people kept coming in after us, so that's always a good sign lol. The service was also amazing and everyone was really nice. Obviously we had to order the fried chicken, and I loved that all the sauces came on the side so you could dip and try different flavors without the chicken getting soggy. And the biggest surprise for me was the cheesy corn topped with pork. I would have never thought of that combo myself, but it was actually so good. Creamy, savory, cheesy perfection. We went pretty late at night, so parking was easy for us, but I could definitely see it getting hectic during the day since it's in the same plaza as H Mart. So best to double check before going!

The flavor was very off and not enjoyable at all--I ended up throwing the entire thing away.

The food was good, but it's frustrating when you go out of your way to make a simple request multiple times and it gets completely ignored. If someone orders three meals and asks twice for extra sauce, one packet isn't exactly what comes to mind. It may seem like a small thing, but barbecue sauce is a quintessential part of the Chick-fil-A experience. Hopefully this location pays a little more attention to customer requests in the future.

There is also the usual interior decorations you see at every cane's like disco balls and other music era decorations. But again the inside needs to be cleaned a bit better and the parking lot could be better. Since it's so busy there is almost no parking and it can be a pain to park. Also need to be careful when driving in as the way in is right near the exit of the drive thru. So that could also lead to frustration when trying to drive around to park or get in without running into close encounters with other drivers. Overall, this is a good Raising Cane's but it can be a mess to park and really frustrating to get in and out since it's right near the ASU campus. That will lead to it being super busy and other chances of not being able to find a place to sit or long wait times.
