Valencia H.

Been hearing about this place and finally gave it a try. I like that they had a wrap and sandwich options but I wanted to try the tenders first. Went with the spicy and tried the bbq and laynes sauce. Both were good. The toast was okay but not better than the competitors.

Newton D.

Laynes goes hand to hand with Canes. While I personally think that they have better chicken, everything else falls below Canes. The service is nice and clear. Ambiance is well lit, clean, and decorated with the history of the business. The food did come out a tad bit slower but surprisingly did not come out as oily. Definitely worth to try the fast food chicken tender contenders.

Josh V.

I asked where the Saigon Hustle restaurant was for an interview, and the manager from Laynes Chicken Fingers took me outside and pointed to a different building outside when the restaurant was actually in the same building. (I know you are going to refute this claim, or make something up, but I was there at 2:00 something PM) and the person working there pretended like he didn't know English, so I showed him the translation from English into Spanish :D Also, I tried adding a review on Google Maps, and they wouldn't let me. I have evidence and I am trying to add it, but Yelp won't let me for some reason.

Bryan V.

I saw that they have wraps now so I had to try it because I'm a wrap fanatic! I think this was a nice break from the usual tender and fries. It was wrapped tightly and the chicken was crispy and quite flavorful. The simple addition of lettuce, cheese, and a wrap really elevates the chicken to a whole new level. Dipped into ranch and you got the perfect bite! Great if you want a lighter meal.

Issie S.

Extremely disappointed and underwhelmed. The chicken lacked flavor and crispness, as if it had been microwaved before serving. The toast was only done on one side, and when I asked about it, I was told I would need to specifically request both sides toasted. Overall, the food felt overpriced and bland.

FB F.

They said that this place was a better Canes and yea they right Spicy chicken was 9/10 Fries are kinda the small as Cane The toast in my opinion is better but not a soft You can walk up or down drive thur

Tan N.

Man oh man I cannot wait till laynes has more locations because their chicken was AMAZING Super super tender and flaky and super crispy outside Their chicken actually has flavor without sauce compared to canes Their signature sauce was also different in flavor More tangier than canes but I liked it The chicken was the start of the show they also offer gravy which was nice but I preferred the signature sauce I can't wait for more closer locations

Layne's is a College Station Texas A&M classic, but unfortunately it's still mid for me. The chicken tenders I got were pretty small, and also dry and lacked any good flavor. It's hard to review this place without comparing to Cane's, and I think both the chicken and Texas toast are better at Cane's. The Layne's Sauce is more peppery than Cane's sauce, but has decent flavor and their fries are pretty good as well. The interior has cute TAMU-themed and College Station-themed decorations which improve the vibe overall, but I'd still go to Cane's for the better food.

Joel C.

I have only ever eaten at Cane's. I heard that this place was a competitor. I gotta say... when it comes to original, I still prefer canes, but this place has some very very good spicy tenders. I loved the spicy and I really like the variety of sauces available here. If I was in the mood for a tender with a little spice, I would be here for sure. It did not disappoint. Food was good. Sauces were good. And the shake was pretty good. I liked this place and would definitely come back. Service was pretty quick and friendly. And the place was clean and welcoming. I like Layne's just as much as any Cane's I've been to. Good place to get a quick meal!

Another 5 piece combo, spicy and regular chicken- so delicious. I can't wait to see what other new dishes are to come!

Not only is Laynes so nostalgic for me as a graduate of Texas A&M university, but I receive excellent service every time visiting the Katy location- as well as other locations, and Raahim has provided consistent great service and for that this is my new favorite location. It's about a 45min round trip for me but it's so worth it. Compared to Raising Canes, Laynes is king. From the sauce, to the chicken and drinks, it's a no brainer! Laynes consistently provides excellent food, regardless of the location. Growing up Raising Canes competed with CFA, once you try Laynes chicken you won't go back. Starting from a humble location in College Station, to opening another location across campus, to now having multiple locations I can enjoy across the nation. Raahim provides EXCELLENT service every visit, and embodies what Laynes is all about. From the great food, to the fantastic service, I am a lifelong customer. Raahim has made the experience so much better, by bringing great vibes and creating a welcoming atmosphere, and he deserves the credit due; my family, and friends are lifelong customers as well. I'll be eating here until I stop breathing. Laynes is simply awesome!!! Worth every penny.

Alex N.

Layne's is just like Raising Cane's. I got the chicken fingers with a side of sauce and it was amazing. The chicken was great, super flaky and juicy while not being too oily. The sauce was more tangy than Raising Cane. I'd come back.

Iman Z.

I would say this place is pretty comparable to Cane's. The spicy chicken was seasoned well and the fries were good. I personally did not like the piece of toast. Not my favorite type of bread especially since it just felt greasy. I've also had better side sauces. Overall I would go again but maybe try the sandwhiches since I did see they had beef bacon on the menu.

Vivian M.

finally reunited with laynes! my first taste of their tenders was at the original location in college station. im glad they've expanded into the houston area now! their tenders are crispy and well-seasoned! we went for the spicy option which was super flavorful. the best part is their sauce options! my personal favorites were the layne's sauce and ranch. and to wrap up our meal we got the oreo and strawberry milkshakes - a sweet treat and the perfect way to finish our meal! staff was friendly and our order came out quickly! what we got: - the 5 finger original - the club sandwich meal - oreo milkshake - strawberry milkshake ig: @whatsviveating

Okay, I can't believe I just found out about this place. First of all it's HALAL, I called to confirm!!! The BEST spicy chicken tender meal I've had (the chicken was actually spicy). We also had the club sandwich and it had (halal) beef bacon in it which, not gonna lie, made my day. The sauce is sooo good and everything is seasoned to perfection. I'm already planning to come back soon! read more

Ever since I switched to eating Zabihah/Halal only I've been missing places like Canes. I was so happy to see that Laynes (who has similar food) opened up and is serving halal chicken! The staff is really friendly and super patient when ordering. What I ordered: * Chicken Tenders - 9/10 Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside! I've had them twice now and I'm taking one star off for the taste and crunch for last times order. The chicken tasted really off and it had no crunch. Oh well, I'll still try it again! * Fries - 8.5/10 Standard crinkle cut, pretty good! * Texas Toast - 8/10 * Laynes sauce - 9.9/10 This sauce is bombbbb. Just get it! Nice and peppery and way better than Canes sauce IMO I've heard the club sandwich and the salted caramel milkshake are really good! Deff on my list to try next! read more

Came here after seeing it being talked about everywhere on halal food Instagram accounts. This place was super crowded, even though we can on Sunday around 3 PM. Our food was out it minutes and it tasted great! Staff was also really nice and helpful. We got the Club Sandwich meal. Portion was huge and chicken was seasoned nicely and was very juicy and tender. I don't think there was enough sauce in the sandwich, but I asked for some on the side to compensate for that. Overall, I'll definitely stop by again when I'm in the area! read more

June 2021. We visited this place during the second week of June and it was soft launch of the restaurant. Nobody knew about this place at the time, so everything had that new restaurant polish with no crowd, great service and clean tables. We ordered grilled chicken wrap and the five finger meal along with chocolate shake. The meal was delicious and their signature sauce added that missing flavor and punch to the chicken. The wrap was cold but had a vibrant note to it. Overall, a decent place a catch up with friends and have a bite. read more

Pretty good. Wasn't a fan of the spicy, it was too spicy for me personally that I didn't enjoy my sandwich. I wasn't impressed with their sauce. Other than them having more options than their competition, there was no wow factor here. It's tenders, toast, and crinkle fries. The only difference is their sauces and spicy option. read more

I tried the new chicken finger restaurant in Katy. It was not bad but texture more like Canes if you like crispy chicken. Very similar except for the sauce was more peppery tasting than Cajun like that other place. Overall not bad; not great. Everything was fresh and tasted good but it was nothing amazing that stood out to differentiate it from the other choice restaurants in the area. The only problem I have with them is that they are much higher than anyone else in price. $9 for 4 piece nugget meal...bit high in comparison. Overall if your into chicken fingers it's worth a try; support local. I did not take pics because it was pretty standard combo meal fare. read more

Overall, I'll be going again if I'm near and needing a bite. I was disappointed with the serving size of the potato salad. It's in the bottom right container that's not bigger than the side of sauce. I subbed the crinkle fries for it but I feel it wasn't an even trade. Ranch is excellent and the Laynes sauce is excellent, very peppery and complimentary to the chicken. read more

History

Established in 1994.

It was back in 1994 when Mike Layne opened the doors of our original location in College Station. The next year, a college student named Mike Garratt came by for lunch, and on his way inside he stopped to clean up the flower beds. Mike Layne noticed the gesture and thought Mike Garratt would make a good addition to the team. Turns out he was right. For the next few years, the two Mikes worked side by side. Layne taught Garratt how to make work fun and that food quality is more important than anything else. In exchange, Garratt taught Layne a thing or two about how to improve the business. The restaurant continued to grow and eventually Mike Garratt became the sole owner of Layne's. Flash forward twenty years of hard work later and, now, with the help of some friends, we're bringing Layne's to the rest of the country.

Excited to bring a College Station favorite to Katy! Once you try our tenders you’ll be hooked.

***Chicken Nuggets (level: mild) --- but nuggets are…read moreextremely well done and very tasty. The batter is very thin and Airy while holding lots of seasoning. It doesn't feel overly greasy at all either. ***Cilantro sauce --- this is a very noteworthy sauce here. The sauce is rich and cream by but not overbearing while the cilantro flavor is very pronounced and refreshes the palate. ***Fries - EXTREMELY crispy!!! This is honestly one of the best rides I've ever had. It's well seasoned and not overly salted at all. The crunch on every bite is amazing! It could not get any better. ***Sandwich (level: honey butter) --- honey butter was a bit lackluster in flavor and texture. Of note, the Whataburger honey butter sauce is much better. The staff here are extremely friendly. Elizabeth was very cheerful and helpful. This added to our pleasant experience and energy. Parking may be a bit tricky depending on what time of the day you go. May have to park further away and walk to the restaurant.

Counter service - looks like a full bar set up. Got the tenders and waffles- tenders were good with…read moremedium spice level and tried one with spicy- really nice that you can tailor spice levels for individual tenders. For me the waffles were too sweet with a dusting of sugar on top of an already sweet waffle so that was a meh for me. The fries were good, very crispy and lasted throughout the meal. Got a strawberry milkshake was good-thick and sweet to cut through any heat.

Usual restaurant wasn't open, so decided to dine at Hoodadak. Service was alright…read more Got the 5 wings combo (soy garlic) that included crispy fries & radish. Chicken flavor was not addicting, and I think hoodadak was better when they were located in the H-Mart cafeteria. The sampler combo is actually worth it. You can pick multiple wing flavors to try (4 flavors, 2 wings each). Came with kimchi fries that were pretty good. Fave flavors were honey garlic & galbi. Not a bad place for KFC in the Katy area, but there are better KFC options in Houston/Bellaire.

I asked for mine to be double sauces but it didn't really feel like it was? The Cole slaw tasted really dry. Maybe we came on a bad day? The staff was alright. Typically there's a button on the table to get their attention but it doesn't look like it was working. I had to get up and get their attention. They also forgot our sides that came with the chicken combo. But they did check on us a lot and refilled our drinks consistently. The tables and chairs are the same as before. Parking is free and out front.

According to her, and I did sample it, the rice cakes were chewy and sauce was flavorful and spicy. I thought it wasn't enough for 16$+ door dash fee, but she thought it was comparable to other places, but not as good as Mama Noodle who didn't offer door dash. We may go back and try their chicken since that's getting good reviews; however, the increased prices are a turn off. We took a star off for the wait and price.

That said, my go to order is the Soy Garlic and Honey Garlic Wings. They're crispy, juicy, not over sauced and cooked perfectly. I love the pickled radish though be forewarned if you're not used to them. They will stink but trust me. They taste better than they smell. One important note about Korean wings: since they're double-fried, the bones will break and splinter pretty easily so BE VERY CAREFUL about giving them to younger kids unmonitored. Other items I've tried and while good, not what I would drive here to get (especially with how expensive the wings are). Traditional Original: Reminds of me Hooters wings a little. A bit too plain for me and while they're good, the flavored wings are why I come here. Boneless wings - Tried a couple and while they're good, not worth the price. But we do get these for the younger kiddoes. Secret sauce wings: I'd skip these. Flavor isn't bad, but way over-sauced and the wings are borderline soggy. Needless to say, they don't have the same crisp the Soy Garlic and Honey Garlic wings have.

Of course I added a hot skewer à la carte because they're the best darn things on the menu. The manager checked on us to make sure we were having a great dining experience and the staff was super nice and accommodating (it was very slow for a weekend).

I walked up and order the 2-pc London style. My wife, who was not down with the fried fish, went with the grilled chicken sandwich Came out pretty fast. And it was hot. Very hot. It came with fries (I guess that's their version of chips), onion rings and a hush puppy. Fish was just the way I like it for London style, which is a flour batter rather than corn meal batter. The sides were all good. It was just a lot of fried food. My wife's chicken avocado sandwich was huge. A massive chicken breast split and tons of avocado. I got a bite and it was very good.

Finally decided to give JLB another chance but decided to go to a different location. Walked in and was warm and muggy, the young lady at the register said she could turn on the fans, I was like yeah great idea . I went to the bathroom to wash my hands while my daughter and husband finished ordering, I came out and told her never mind we were not eating there and that the bathroom was disgusting. Also, I looked at the fans and thank goodness she did not turn them on! The dust was so thick and would have ended up getting all over everyone eating. What is it with the Katy locations A/C and bathrooms?! Is every JLB like this? I'm just trying to find a solid burger place since our move here. I'm just gonna stick to Old School Burger from here on out.

I'm not much of a seafood person, but my wife is. Thankfully they had a burger on the menu! Double smash burger and fries for me, Serafin's fish tacos for her. The burger was good, I liked the fact that the smashed patties weren't smashed too thin. So often all I get is meat crust, these had body as well. The burger and fries were great, but when I saw and tasted the fish tacos I immediately knew I'd be getting them next time. I only got a bite, but it was yummy with the sauce.

I hate writing this review because Half Shells at LaCenterra used to be one of my go-to places, but…read morethis visit was disappointing. The highlight of our experience was the service. Our server was friendly, attentive, and had a great attitude from start to finish. Unfortunately, almost everything else felt like a step backward. The menu has been reduced dramatically. Once you take away the oyster selections, there are very few entrée choices left. Many of the dishes that kept me coming back are no longer offered. The drink menu has also been cut down significantly. They used to have a much better selection, and it just doesn't feel like the same restaurant anymore. Another frustration is that they're in an area with poor cell service, yet customer Wi-Fi is no longer available. Whether you're trying to check a message, work while you eat, or simply stay connected, it's almost impossible. As for the food, it was just okay. Nothing was bad, but nothing stood out either. I ordered the crab cake with the arugula salad and a shrimp cocktail. Ironically, the small arugula salad that came with the single crab cake was the best part of my meal. The crab cake and shrimp cocktail were fine, but neither was memorable or something I'd come back for. Overall, it feels like Half Shells has lost much of what made it special. Between the limited menu, reduced drink options, lack of Wi-Fi, and average food, it's no longer the destination it once was for me. I truly hope they reconsider some of these changes because I'd love to see this restaurant return to what made it such a great place to dine.

I'm proud that they have servers of this caliber at Asian restaurants in Houston, TX. Usually you see professional servers at upscale restaurants. There was a busboy there towards the end, and even he was super professional. Whoever the manager is at this location, you guys are doing an outstanding job training the staff here. Keep up the good work! 2. Price - about $15/bowl. 3. Ambiance - The decor here is beautiful. There are natural lighting from the front, with wood panels everywhere, lanterns hung high. They did a nice job decorating the place and you definitely feel as if you're in Japan somewhere. 4. Food - This is where this place shines compare to all the ramen places in Houston. They have the option of low sodium broth. I took one sip, and it felt like home cooked Ramen. I'm not talking about instant ramen that you buy from the store, but the ramen made from scratch. I often go to ramen places in Houston and I dread going because I know how salty they taste. There are 2 other locations I have in mind in Houston that are also my favorites. But I would say this is not bad compared to the bowl of ramen I had in Narita, Japan. If you're wondering what I've ordered, it was the CHICKEN RICH RAMEN and make sure to request for low sodium. 5. Cleanliness - Dining area is well kept, clean, and the busboy is on top of things. The restroom is questionable. The personal restroom doors are hard to close and lock. For management, have a look at the restrooms and see if you can improve things. SUMMARY: I would definitely come back. It is just THAT GOOD!

I was so hungry I forgot to get a photo of the initial presentation, but the noodles were perfect and the broth was tasty.

We also ordered some chicken karaage, but that never showed, and our waiter was too busy to stop by so I could tell him. I'm not familiar with the ramen scene in Houston, but Kizuki was a huge letdown, especially with their roots to Japan. ご馳走様でした

Layne's Chicken Fingers is a delicious spot that never disappoints! The chicken fingers are perfectly cooked--crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I love the variety of dipping sauces available; each one adds a unique twist to the meal. The fries are a great complement, always hot and seasoned just right. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, making it a perfect place for a quick bite or a laid-back meal with friends. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience. My only minor complaint is that sometimes it can get a bit busy during peak hours, but it's worth the wait. Overall, Layne's Chicken Fingers is a must-visit for chicken lovers. I'll definitely be coming back! read more
