    My dinner: 4 huge tenders, fries, bbq sauces, and toast! Dr. Pepper chaser.
    Sharon B.

    My family and I recently moved here. This is our second time eating at this location. And they did not disappoint. We ordered the Family Meal. Omg! It came out quickly. They apologized for the wait. Um... what wait? Baby. We were laughing and talking. We didn't notice. (Drive-thru has a wall of stickers that you can either add to or gaze at.) We enjoy our conversation about them. Our food was delicious and hot -each trip. The customer service was great! Thank y'all! We shall return!

    Stay in your Layne's

    You could go to Raising Cane's instead... or you could just stay in your Layne's, bro. This is the little local version of Raising Cane's for this area. We appreciate it and we're glad that there is a nice alternative to the chain chicken. Having said that, the other location has absolutely nightmare service to the extent where I gave them one star and they deserve less. Treated us like dirt. And as for this location the service wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. The chicken on the other hand was juicy and hot and tender and delicious. I mean they're called tenders so I guess tender goes with the tenderitory? We were pretty happy with it altogether. However they close dine in a little early and that's why I'm knocking a star off when otherwise it would have been a five-star meal. And dirt cheap too, although if you've been to Lowe's lately you know dirt isn't as cheap as advertised.

    Fries are too die for! I don't know if it's because I ordered the spicy chicken tenders but I feel like the size has shrank since I last ordered. The toast at Canes is better because it's Texas toast (with glaze and all that) and not just a slice of toast.

    This meat is dark black.

    I love this place but how y'all going to give me a piece of chicken that looks this bad.

    Great chicken! Everything is good, but their chicken beats Raising Canes. You can tell that the chicken is fresh. For 6 tenders, fries, toast, and coleslaw(I sub for another sauce) the whole box is $6.50 with tax. If you want 3 tenders, toast and fries and one sauce, get the half box for $4.50. The service is great and the employees are always so friendly! The drive through is usually pretty fast. Update: Don't go on really busy days, like move in days and family weekends because their quality drops significantly when their demand goes up. My chicken wasn't seasoned and cooked as well as usual, so my chicken was soggy in spots. I really am partial to the Wellborn location, because of the employees. I had a coupon for a free box so I went on a Wednesday night to the drive thru. The line was long and slow so I put my car in park when I was at the first window. Unfortunately, my car would not come out of park. 3 of the employees tried to fix my car, and were googling and calling around to see what was wrong. It took my insurance forever to find a tow, and I was stuck in the drive thru, blocking the entire drive thru. Never was an employee rude, only encouraging. After an hour they offered me a free drink. When I was finally towed 2 hours later the employees cheered from the window. In a terrible situation the employees made my situation bearable.

    I was a little worried about this place because there was a long line in the drive thru, but I was pleasantly surprised by how fast it moved. I enjoyed my meal. I am not a big fan of their sauce since it's super peppery but it's still good nonetheless. Honestly can't go wrong here for the price.

    Good no frills tenders for college kids. Cheaper than canes and about the same flavor

    Layne's doesn't offer a huge menu, but their chicken is worth a try. Layne's menu only consists of fried chicken tenders, french fries, potato salad, and toast. That's it. Prices are reasonable, but the lack of options make it a one time stop. Their chicken and fries are decent, so if you're really craving some chicken tenders then I'd give Layne's a try. They also have a drive through which is super convenient. However, their "special sauce" is nothing special. It literally tasted like a black pepper vinaigrette, and it was super overwhelming. I'd recommend bbq sauce instead.

    Spent the day at Texas A&M and had to go get Laynes for lunch!…read more One cannot go to CStat and not get lunch at Laynes..Canes and Zaxbys do not compare.. However, I will say that all the chicken tender places since Covid went from their signature large tenders to half size smaller tenders. Not sure why or why they never went back to the larger size tenders after Covid. I ordered a 3 piece and you can see how small the size of the tenders are and I remember when two of the tenders would of equaled 1 tender before Covid. The service was great, the tenders were hot and fresh since made to order and the fries were crunchy. Nothing wrong at all with the service, taste of the food, the only complaint is how tiny the tenders are now. With all that said of course I'll still go to Laynes and glad we have one in Houston by my job.

I was quite impressed with the texture, breading, and seasoning. It wasn't overly greasy and spice level hit the spot. Temperature: we dined in to experience the freshest chicken strips possible. It did not disappoint. I think I burned the roof of my mouth on the first bite but it was worth it. Presentation: nothing to praise but no complaints either. See the photo and judge for yourself. Ambiance: small and cute. Nothing nice about it but fairly clean. Staff: friendly but not over the top. The verdict: Chick-Fil-A is still #1. Then Layne's. Then Raising Cane's. Yes - in my opinion - Layne's beats Cane's. And all 3 are way better than Whataburger and Dairy Queen. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself!

    The Burger house... or should I say Shack cause that's what it looks like !…read more I was in C station trying to find a good burger place. I used to live around Hempstead, Prairie view and Waller a couple years ago when I first came to Texas and it was kinda hard finding good places to eat ' I'm not gonna lie I was scouring yelp for about 30 mins before I stumbled across Burger House. I even got to the point where I asked some locals and they said Burger House was a burger staple in C station. Upon looking at the photos, it seemed like a burger that you make at the house to be candid. When I pulled up, I was like "oh wow this place look like a straight shack that's fasho." I decided to go through the drive-through & when I pulled up to the drive-through the gentleman who took my order was hella welcoming and just overall nice like he was happy I pulled up. I swear I was the highlight of my visit. I ended up getting the combo , bacon cheeseburger with fries and a drink, and it was for decent price too. The burger itself was mediocre if I'm being honest, the meat lacked some seasoning, though the fries were pretty decent with a soft inside, light crisp outside. I like the fact they put the lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles on the side instead of in the burger which can make it soggy. So there was some attention to detail. The Bun though? That thang was soft on the outside and was lightly toasted on the inside, which was dope. Would I be back? If I'm being honest, just to say wasup to the gentlemen who took my order and that's about it!

Very helpful and efficient workers. The lady that we visited with actually recommended the burgers. But we were there to try their specialized item. Next time we will try the burger.

    I was SO EXCITED to find out that there is a Cookshack in College Station!…read more We stopped here for lunch on a Sunday before heading home. We were BLOWN AWAY by the number of college students, dressed in their Sunday's best, openly praying over their food before enjoying some awesome chicken. It was SO NICE TO SEE! We ordered a family meal (20 pieces), 2 sides of fries and a chicken sandwich meal. We paid around $40. Great value! The food came out quick and arrived hot and fresh. I had a slight "issue" where I thought my chicken wasn't fully cooked and the manager reassured me that it was just breading but happily remade my sandwich to give me peace of mind. I REALLY appreciated that. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals, literally leaving "not a fry left behind." The size of my chicken on the sandwich was HUGE- had to be hanging off the roll by 2" on each side! Staff were phenomenal. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Love the laid back decor.
