Excellent chicken fried in beef tallow instead of soybean / vegetable oil. Makes a big difference for folks with seed oil allergies. Nice restrooms, doors wide enough for adult wheelchairs, but restroom doors open inward, meaning little kids or wheelchair folks can get trapped until someone pushes the door open from the other side. read more

The fried chicken at Jenny's is absolutely the best in Southeast Texas! But they also have burgers, fried catfish, chicken fried steak, and a lot of other stuff on their menu! Service is a walk up order counter and they give you a number of your dining in and bring it to your table. Everyone is very courteous and friendly, and the ambience here is very laid back. There are TV's, and they have tables and booths for your comfort! We love Jenny's read more

I passed through Kirbyville and stopped at Jenny's in favor of something local versus a franchise. Wow, was the food amazing! I ordered the fried shrimp and mac and cheese. What I didn't know is that the fried shrimp was part of a combo including fried catfish, the fried shrimp, french fries, jalapeno hush puppies, and cole slaw, and a drink. It was a pleasant surprise, but the menu is confusing on how to order and what comes with the food, but the taste makes up for it by far. I could tell this was a local gem because it was barely 5pm on a Wednesday and there was a line of about 10 people. The service wasn't bad, but can be confusing if you aren't a local. read more

Alright. This place is pretty good. Is what I wish I could say, however, there are many things to be said about this place that are very apparent as someone who isn't exactly regular, but orders enough to notice growth and change in the place. So, I'll start from the top. Initially this place was rather small and cramped back when it was a smaller establishment, BUT it has expanded and now it's much bigger and there's so much more room now that I would never consider that a problem. The lights are a huge improvement too, making the place feel less like a hospital with lights that might occasionally flicker and ceilings that remind you of your school days, and it feels very, VERY welcoming to take a seat and eat in. However, that's unfortunately where a lot of the good ends. The service is so painfully slow you could probably place an order at another place in town and they'll probably have it ready before you even begin ordering here on a bad day. And that's just waiting in line, sometimes you'll wonder if they forgot about you by the time you've noticed five people probably already leave. That's just if you go up and order inside though, if you're lucky you can call and get your order prepared before you arrive, but sometimes the people there intentionally ignore the phone or their number doesn't work. So if you want something quick, do NOT come here expecting that. The food is one of their constants, if inconsistent could be labeled as such. While the food isn't disgusting or low quality, it's a real toss-up how it's going to be sometimes. Though, their actual fried chicken ends up being VERY oily to the point of where I question if they're tossing the chicken in there at right time when the oil is nice and hot so it doesn't soak up a bunch of oil that I simply do not want to eat. read more

Not sure if anyone reading this will ever make it to the metropolis of Kirbyville, TX, but if you do happen to find your way out their, please give this place a try. The food was great, the portions were large, and the prices were more than fair. This is a great place to eat. read more

This is the BEST Fried Chicken that You will Ever Eat! Oh! And the Corn Nuggets! And did I mention the Wednesday Special of Fried Fush and Shrimp?!?! read more

Food is okay. Service is absolutely TERRIBLE! It also wasn't as clean as I prefer the restaurants I visit to be. Definitely better options in the area that won't treat their customers poorly, and have better food. This place use to be a gem. Not sure why it took a huge turn for the worse. read more

5 stars for the food, 1 star for service. Had a customer come up that had been waiting 30 minutes for their food he told them to keep the food and they left. They didn't offer him a refund or nothing just said, "that's fine" then through away his order that was written down. Zero customer service for that family. Myself it was 45 minutes from the time I got there to the time I walked out with my order. read more

Jenny's Fried Chicken - the inside of a restaurant - Chicken Shop Near Me - Kirbyville, Texas

Fantastic Chicken. If you want some good fried chicken in East Texas make it a stop. Character characters

What to say let's see first of all the service is second to none then there's the price everything is priced very reasonable in some cases it's too reasonable where the areas of improvement that I feel could be made is there's no seasoning on the dog on chicken not even salt please for the love of god start seasoning your dog on food !!!! read more

The best food in town. Bake potatoes are always one point. Fried chicken is always fresh and crispy to perfection .

Food is okay but it's chicken. Service is the worse with the rudest people I have ever dealt with at a restaurant of any kind. The place is easy to get too. Place might be okay for locals but if you're passing through pick a different place. One more thing price is too high and last time I was there they had no menu's. read more

My husband and I stopped here on our way home from a road trip, and we were so glad we did. The food was amazing. Our burgers and fries were absolutely delicious, and our fried apple pie was the cherry on top. It wasn't the fastest, but it was worth the small wait. We are so glad it's only a 45 minute drive, because we plan on making a special date night trip back out, and we will do our best to route out-of-town family through Kirbyville whenever they drive down from the Midwest. Would absolutely recommend and can't wait to go back the next time we get a hankering for good ole American food. read more

The food is well priced but they have terrible service. The cashier was just rude for no reason. Overall rude, unfriendly service. I wouldn't return. read more

My family thinks this is a fabulous restaurant; however, if you're looking for low-calorie options, you are outta luck here.

Best 'mom and pop' in deep east texas. Great food and great value. My go to for old fashion comfort foods.

Coldest restaurant I've eaten in. Asked the manager to turn down the fans and she said she always brought jackets whenever she went to a restaurant. She refused to do anything. Ended up moving outside by the end. Poor customer service. Food is mediocre. I hope I never have to come back. read more

Three stars for the food alone. I sincerely hope someone from Jenny's reads this and addresses these issues; this could be one of the best places in SE Texas if the customer service was even passable, but it's so dreadfully poor that it's a struggle to give it 3 stars. Let's start with the wait. It's dismal. Don't order unless you have 30-45 minutes to wait for your food. Oh, and if you're thinking that you will avoid the wait and call an order in ahead of time to avoid the near-an-hour-long wait, make sure you take a list of what you ordered - they don't have much of a method for tracking or organizing call in orders by name or phone number. And you're probably still going to wait (I called an order in 20 minutes before I arrived and had to wait another 30 minutes after I arrived). This is not the place to go if you want halfway friendly service either...I've been here dozens of times and not once did I feel welcome. I in fact felt like my presence and my order were both annoyances to the staff. The last time I was there, the cashier gave me a sideways look and asked, "yeeeesss?" As in "whaddaya want?"I will say that usually the wait staff that bring the food to you are pleasant, or at least don't act like you're one of those pesky customers. The food is phenomenal though - gotta be some of the best fried fish I've ever had. The new building is also nice and doesn't smell like an ashtray. read more

The food is absolutely delicious. It all has so much flavor! I got chicken, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, macaroni, and it came with rolls. Everything was perfectly seasoned. We got a LOT for the price. I'll 100% be going back. read more

I've come here my entire life pretty much. The old lady at the register is possibly the rudest person I have met in my entire life. Don't expect to make a call in order without having to call 10 times. They take the phone off of the hook or let it ring until it just stops. They aren't friendly they just answer annoyed and say Jenny's. Food is good but the piss poor service outshines it read more

Was honestly a bit disappointed. Got 9 piece mixed. They were out of legs so we got thighs and wings instead. No argument with that. Got corn nuggets they were good. But from there it gets weird we ordered a shrimp poboy and large mash and gravy with brown gravy. The shrimp on the poboy had the tails still on???? And they were VERY overcooked. Lettuce turned to mush. had lots of shrimp poboys and never had shrimp with tails still on. Went back thinking they made a mistake and gave us white gravy on the mash potatoes. The gentleman said "that is our brown gravy it's a little weird tonight" . Sorry guys but quality control is severely lacking if you let weird gravy that looks like cream of chicken soup go out as brown gravy. I like eating and shopping local but not at this kind of disappointment. read more

I wish I could give this place no star but it's not possible. I can't believe how rude the staff is. It's not just one person it's everyone I have dealt with. Ugh. The food is just normal. Nothing spectacular about it. But the service is what puts me off. I don't come here unless it's with someone else or for someone else. Today's fiasco I ordered a to go bundle 20 minutes early and they tell me it'll be ready in 20 minutes for me to get there have to wait in a long ass line to pay for it for them to start making it after I pay for it thanks for nothing RBF lady and staff!!! read more

Amazing tasting chicken awesome e cashier. Really gives you a home cooked meal served fresh from mamma read more

Jenny's Fried Chicken - Seating - Chicken Shop Near Me - Kirbyville, Texas

I drove to Kirbyville recently to try some fried chicken that I heard was very good. The restaurant is called Jenny's Fried Chicken and it is located on Hwy 96, next to Brookshire Bros and across, plus a little ways down, from the high school. I did not know when I arrived that I would be entering a brand new restaurant and that they had just moved in it only three weeks before. The restaurant is large, beautiful, clean, with plenty of tables, six large flat screen tv's and I love the glossy concrete floors. They open at 10:00am every day (according to their fb page). I arrived around 11:30, and I'm glad I did because after that the line was to the door and it never got short. I have read good and not so good comments about this place. Mainly how good the food is but how rude and unfriendly the people are, so here is my unbiased review. Upon entering Jenny's around 11:30 I was third in line. I approached the register to order. They had one register and one senior lady taking orders by herself. This I thought was not fair. She never smiled and had little to no eye contact with me. I asked her questions because it was my first time there. She answered all my questions while writing and never looked up. The optimist I am tends to feel there is more to why she is not a people person then what others call just "rude." I ordered three pieces of dark meat chicken with fries and two jalapeños peppers. I also ordered a side of red beans and rice with a glass of ice tea (don't judge me). All of this for $8.00 and change. Let me start by saying I did not like the beans. They look better than they taste. There was little to no seasoning. All the hot sauce in Texas couldn't have help them. They needed to be cooked about six more hours. I like a creamy bean gravy and this was watery. Moving on, the fried chicken was fantastic. I absolutely loved the crispy crust. Not greasy and no hard crusty piece. Every bite I took was excellent. The fries were just straight fries and the rolls I didn't eat. It also came with three hush puppies that I ate and were very good. This place may have its faults, but it's not in the chicken. I plan to make this trip again. I see why the line stayed long. I highly recommend Jenny's if you're ever driving through Kirbyville. Their new building is also absolutely beautiful. They also have a covered area outside to sit. If you meet up with the senior lady at the register, give her a big smile. She just may need it and she might catch on and smile back. I highly recommend Jenny's Chicken. They are #BestBites approved. read more

I was there on Saturday to pick up food for brothers funeral. My cousin had placed the order a couple of days prior to pick up. The food was ready as promised and good. The service was fucking piss poor as usual. I would have rather driven to Jasper to Walmart next time. The rotten tooth piece of trash that runs the register with all them fucking cocktails rings is the worst! My thought for many years,the bitch was an owner. I find out just an employee. It's amazing that a business owner would allow that type of trash to be the first and last thing to see at their business. I've always handed my charge plate to her in hand and she returns it to the counter with pen on top of it. It's all good because I won't cross the threshold there again. I always say there's a bitch for every bitch! I'm sure hers will cross that threshold one day!!! read more

Been coming to Jenny's for 35 yrs. the food has always been jam up. And the customer service has always been shit. All the way from the Owner (also the mayor of Kirbyville) down to the servers (they actually get pissed when you ask for anything extra: condiments, eating utensils, napkins, etc. They'll never change. They could shut it down tmr and i wouldn't give a rats ass. I'm done. read more

This place has some good chicken and it has been around for what seems like forever - maybe like 20 years or something..They have a lot of different southern favorites to choose from (mostly fried hence the name). Sometimes they take a little long to get your order ready but the food generally speaking makes up for it..This is also one of like 5 restaurants in this small little town..So enjoy it becuase there is not much else to choose from! read more

Great place where the mayor owns the joint. This place has the best fried chicken!! Tried the catfish, shrimp and coke slaw all were fast and freshly made. Wait for the food was about 15 mins. Staff could be friendlier. Woman who took our order was wearing about 2-3 rings per finger, never smiled once or greeted my aunt. Girl who brought our order didn't smile either. Maybe they aren't happy with their jobs?? I have no idea, but a smile goes a long way!!! I've been in customer service and waited tables for a long time and that is just expected..I still gave them five stars. For overall experience. My grandmother who is 90 has been coming here since it has opened and loves it. read more

Four stars means I am a Fan. I believe this place is a little oasis in central east Texas. There is another place south of this restaurant, Tom Jr's, which makes it a special trip for us from Beaumont. We visited on Saturday, 3pm. The building was surrounded by cars and trucks with a couple vehicles in the drive through lane. Never fear as there is plenty of seating available inside. The menu is pure fast/convenience/comfort food. Chicken, fish, shrimp, oysters and hamburgers. This was our first visit to Jenny's Fried Chicken. The obvious choice was chicken. Two orders, 2 piece mixed and two piece white. Mashed potatoes and gravy, Dirty rice and fried okra. Comes with soft, yeast dinner rolls. Classic. Chicken is medium to light batter. Crispy and a bit salty although not overly so. The seasoning had bit of a tingle/sting that lingered. Pleasant. Meat was moist throughout and cooked through to the bone. The flavor of the taters speaks of the instant variety. You have a choice of white or brown gravy. The dirty rice had stand up character. Rice is brown colored by the meat and other spices. This side was even more assertive, rich in flavor and a good compliment to the chicken. Okra. $3+ for an order but, oh what flavor and golly, its a near mountain of them little okra. Watching the trays of food float by, I see all of it has possibilities. A friend of mine says the special of fried fish and baked potato is a steal of a deal. Can't make it there during the week but, we gotta come back for more. read more

First off this place is newly renovated and looks like it was a great job. High ceilings open the place up and help keep the noise level down. The menu had various side items like fried mushrooms and corn nuggets. I had a 3 piece white basket with corn nuggets for the side. The batter was homemade and the chicken was decent. Left feeling full and the price was not a robbery. Overall, nice clean place and a decent spot to stop if your in the area and want some home made fried chicken. read more

Terrible everything. Service was terrible and they were not friendly at all. The food was lackluster at best (chicken strips and other various chicken foods were pre breaded and frozen). I highly recommend spending your money else where. It was not a great experience (both times I've tried it) so I encourage you to eat somewhere else. read more

I had heard rumor of the fried catfish sandwich. I am so glad I stopped in to try it for myself. Their fish portion was ample on a sizable bun. It was hot and fresh and was oh so tasty. The sauce they put on the sandwich is very good and I don't normally like tartar style sauces. Obviously I will be back to eat here again. The sign says fried chicken so I must give that a chance soon. Come on by and tell me your thoughts. read more

This chicken calls my name at night. YUMMY It has the BEST flavor and always hot and fresh. A "MUST" stop place for sure!
