    2 Tender Meal $11.99 8/23/2025
    Jaewoo S.

    Placed order though Uber Eats. They had buy one get one offer and got the 2 Tender Meal for $11.99. Mild and medium spicy for each of the tender, fries and two house sauces. Order was ready within 15 minutes! Super fast so when I walked in, I was able to pick up right away. The chicken tender - absolutely amazing! Tender pieces were huge! I did not expect to get full with just two chicken tenders but as seen in the photo, these chicken tenders are huge! Even with mild/medium spicy, it is pretty spicy. Never expected that Houston chicken tenders would be this juicy, tender with full of flavors. I recommend their chicken tenders!

    Orginal Hot Chicken-medium spice with fries and a side of ranch
    AnneMarie M.

    Stopped by just before noon, and the place was already buzzing! Even though the young woman behind the counter was busy, she made eye contact right away and let us know she'd be with us shortly--great first impression. I ordered the Original Hot sandwich with medium spice. My colleagues got the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, the Cheesy Hot Chicken Sandwich (mild), and the Caesar Salad with Habanero Chicken Tenders. Everyone enjoyed their meals and agreed that the spice levels matched their expectations--so trust your instincts when ordering, and you won't be caught off guard. I also tried the Watermelon-Cucumber Lemonade. It tastes like a liquified Jolly Rancher--fun but a bit too sweet for me. I'd definitely come back, but I do have a few critiques. First, it's pricey. My sandwich, fries, and drink came out to just over $20. For a family visit, it could easily top $100, which feels steep for what's essentially fast-casual dining. Second, they don't offer sweet tea or even iced tea--something that would pair perfectly with hot chicken. That's a missed opportunity. Lastly, I'm not a fan of the tip prompt for counter service. It feels out of place and adds pressure where it shouldn't. Businesses really need to reconsider this trend.

    The staff was friendly. However the food is a miss. It's not crispy or spicy enough. Also, the meals don't include drinks. I don't think I'll eat here again.

    Tenders & Waffles

    They hooked me... went once during a workday and came back 2 more times within the next three weeks. Their crinkle fries are crack seasoned and have a perfect crunch on every fry, their "tenders" are more like "breasts." They have a flight of different sauces. The waffle has like a crunch of sugar in it and they still have the gall to try to give you syrup. Each lemonade is family kool-aid perfect. I've felt so much shame smashing this whole box of food... they don't have any calories posted anywhere and I know why... because if you show up you're not worried about being a gluttonous chicken eating beast for the day. Treat yourself!

    The location is perfect, as soon as I walked in the door I was greeted by not 1 but 2 employees!! I didn't think that even happened anywhere outside of chick-fil a. I have been in search of Michigans Beat Hot chicken sandwich all of my life, while this didn't take over my #1 (Eureka eatery in Monroe, MI) it did any rocket to my #2. If they fix the bun issue (discussed below) it would be a close contender. Fries: crisp and well seasoned. Very delicious. I am not a fry person but I ate all of these Sandwich: I ordered the spicy habanero, it was not hot hot but a great flavor. (I like spice so my not hot hot might burn your mouth). It had very little coleslaw however that is how I like it. I ordered the cheesy chicken sandwich and the cheese was an amazing touch! The bun seemed a little small which made it very messy to eat! Very such a great cut of chicken I would prefer a different bun however it was so so good! 100% recommend. Between the staff's friendliness, the cleanness of the place and the excellent taste I will be back!!!

    Texas From Bill

    I wasn't going to leave a review. But the manager texted me following up with a survey I took. I am giving two stars because the flavor of my chicken sandwich was okay. And the lemonade was so good. I would go back for that. But overall not likely. Shall I? Yesterday 04/05/25 we tried this place. I have been watching and waiting for it to open. Only to be disappointed. 1. I got the mild spice chicken sandwich and one no spice tender meal for $15.99 and a strawberry hibiscus lemonade ($3.99). I got the coleslaw on the side to avoid sogginess. And a side of house sauce for dipping. Like I said the lemonade was so good. But that's about it. The fries were cold and stale. Like barely edible. The chicken sandwich had decent flavor but it was so soggy that it fell apart. I had to use a knife and fork to eat it. Not cool. The tender wasn't battered enough and it was completely soggy too. The bottom of the chicken tender was bald. And what batter there was tasted undercooked. 2. My poor husband got loaded fries for $13.99. Totally disappointed. He had the same cold stale fries. He said the only saving grace was the juices getting the fries soggy. Same gross chicken with mild heat. 3. We got two chicken kids meals and again same chicken and same fries. It comes with 5 nuggets, fries and a juice box. ($6.99 each so $13.98). The nuggets were missing breading and soggy. My kids wouldn't eat them. They were so bland and again the batter tasted undercooked. It literally tasted like raw wet flour. The fries were stale and cold. I wanted to note there was what appeared to be a child running the fryer. That could explain a lot. So after I completed the survey I got a text from a Bill from Houston Hot Chicken thanking me for my feed back. Also an apology. He then goes on to offer me ONE 2 piece tender meal ($11.99). That is suppose to make up for 4 meals? I didn't even purchase a 2 piece tender meal to start with. I wasn't even going to leave a review until he sent that. It was like a spit in the face. Not cool. Daves Hot Chicken is right by there. Maybe I'll return for a lemonade. But probably not.

    Fast, friendly service. The food is comparable to Dave's hot chicken across the street, but there are a few more options to choose from. The spice level is good, I ordered spicy (4th level) and that was perfect for me. The fusion fries had a really good sauce on them as well I wasn't expecting. Will definitely eat here again.

At each table gloves, chopsticks, hand sanitizer, plastic straws, and plastic utensils were provided. Which is such a thoughtful touch. The fried chicken was SUPER juicy and tender with a cornflake fried batter covered in chosen sauces. There were so many flavor options to choose from, which made it fun to decide. The pieces were huge, so the price felt completely worth it. The servers were especially kind and patient with us as first-timers. They took the time to explain the most popular flavors and gave great recommendations, which we really appreciated. The only downside were the sides. The onion rings and fries didn't seem to have any seasoning. So, they tasted a bit plain compared to the bold, flavorful chicken. I'd definitely come back for the chicken alone. If you're craving crispy, juicy fried chicken with tons of flavor options, this is a spot worth trying!

The inside is pretty small, so with the crowd it felt a bit cramped and busy. They have a screen that displays order statuses, which definitely came in handy, because no one was calling out names. I'm glad I was paying attention, or we might've missed when our order was ready. With how crowded it was, you really had to be mindful moving around, it was tight!

We tried Houston Hot Chicken so naturally we had to go back to Daves for comparison. I ordered the singe slider meal, medium heat and a side of cauliflower bites. I had high hopes for the cauliflower but I think they rely on the seasoning to be the coating as well. The result is an overpowering chili powder based crust with a super mushy inside. It just didnt pair well. I think if maybe they used a true coating and then the seasoning these might have been better. Onto the comparison, the chicken itself was tender and juicy. The kale slaw was good but not a true slaw and a bit dry for placement on a sandwich. The seasoning here vs HHC; has a bitter finish if you dont use the DHC sauce. However, the bun was better with DHC and held up well on the sandwich unlike HHC. The service was top notch, the cashier managed my party of 7- different orders patiently and was very pleasant. I honestly felt like they were grateful for our patronage. Dont see that too often! As with the competitor the pricepoint on these high end fast food joins is just too high. $20 for lunch is pretty high. Oh and of course they have the tipping option on the kiosk. Those need to be banned. There is a good amount of seating both inside and outside at this location and I really felt valued as a customer.

    Personally I am probably not coming back, but that does not mean you should not try it. We heard…read morethat a TX Chicken place was coming to Novi, so we decided to try an already established location. The parking lot was packed, but not for this place. For most of the time, it was empty and we were the only customers. A couple other parties did come in, but it was not as crowded as other big name chicken places. The décor was cute, but my husband was confused by what the actually theming was. Was it Houston? No clear direction. But it was eye catching. The people who worked here were mostly friendlyish, but the main person was super dry and not at all personable. It seemed like we were bothering this person even though she was fair and efficient. Just not friendly at all. The food was super expensive, especially for the portion size. The meal cost more than a typical sit down restaurant, especially for the experience, portion size, and the quality, and that's not okay. I guess I would rather have a sit down experience compared to this. I can go to our favorite Mexican restaurant for cheaper chicken and fries plus chips and salsa for less money. The fries were really good, well seasoned, crispy and thick. The cheese dipping sauce was really good, but pricy for the amount given. The house sauce was not bad, but the BBQ was just a brand name pre-made cut, and not a house sauce, surprising for a chicken place. And the syrup was also a pre-made cup, not a house made syrup for a place that wants to do waffles. The waffles were good, very sweet, seemed like a Belgian liege style, I would recommend it and they do offer a la carte waffles. The chicken sandwich was probably the best of the chicken. Both kids got the honey butter sauce. They were tasty, but so small for a $12 price a la carte, and even more with fries. The strips were disappointing. The chicken was not juicy enough and the actual chicken had very little flavor. We got plain, honey butter, mild and medium. The plain one did not have much flavor, even good seasoning to it. The mild and medium were red in color but lacked flavor. The lemonades were very good, but super expensive. Honestly, go to Shake Shack down the street, their lemonades are great and refillable, also larger and less expensive. Personally, Dave's Hot Chicken would be my go-to in the hot chicken category of fast food. And Shaquille O'Neil's chicken place is the place I would return to for a variety of options plus milk shakes. The shakes here were honestly too expensive to try even though they looked good. Since parking was limited, I imagine most people were at Panda next door, where the prices are better and the portions are bigger. Plus there are so many wing a strip places around us, I would need an amazing experience to come back soon and this was unfortunately not it. But, if you are a hot chicken fan, give this place a try and see for yourself.

The building itself seems to have been updated recently. There's tons of seating indoors, and it seems like they do a lot of takeout business. The staff is friendly, and the menu is pretty expansive. You'll find your usual standard fare for hot chicken, with a splash of Indian (Desi) and Korean thrown in as well! You can tell the menu is catered to the current hot chicken craze among Millennials/ Gen Z (see also: "tendies"). The service can be a bit slow right after they open.
