    Barely seasoned wings, they ran out of drumsticks WINGS & DRUMSTICKS COMBO
    Tammy N.

    We've dined in before and it Hasn't been this bad until we did pickup recently. When we got home, the Wing Combo was barely covered and lightly seasoned with sauce on only half Of the wing each. They ran out of Drumsticks. The Spicy Soy Garlic Chicken was not spicy. The Kim chi fries tasted gritty/floury with barely any kimchi or spicy sauce. Such a disappointment on how it has gone downhill.

    Half/half, Wings & Drumsticks Combo

    Well done. Before I go into details of my positive experience, let me offer tips for the business to truly wrap up five stars (weren't worth the loss of a star, but would make the experience the BEST). Suggestions: - wet naps, at least 1 per person, since the wings (and most finger-foods served) are wet/sticky. This would reduce traffic to the bathroom just to wash hands after the meal, and was my only true complaint. - history/story on the menu! When I asked why the "soup" option on the back of the menu was $30, our server Lauren explained it's based on a wartime meal and serves 4! That fully explains why it's $30, and hearing about its origin made me bookmark this place to bring back some family to try it out! Prerequisites: know what kimchi is, and be open to giving it a shot if you've never had it. It compliments dishes very well, and fits the theme of this place nicely. Our experience: Kimchi fries (spicy mayo makes this wet, can use fork to eat), delicious, large portion serves two hungry people, or would stave the appetite of 4 who've other things coming. The fact that the fries are so crispy while covered with wet ingredients boggles my mind and makes this fry-"meh" girl a fry LOVER. I will come here for the fries if they're always like this! Fried dumplings (need wet naps, hard to use fork only... would need knives if depending on utensils to eat). The spicy ones have a little heat to them! Both have great flavor. I suggest the combo to even it all out. Wings (definitely need wet naps), half and half and combo wings/drumsticks. Good flavor (soy ginger, spicy soy ginger). We preferred the spicy soy ginger on these. Drinks: I'd venture water is a good thing to have on hand (I dropped water onto a napkin and made my own wetnap) at least to cleanse the palate. Alcohol: Plum Collins was sweet, light, delicate, okay - not sure if it's worth $10. Beer: the Mango Cart pairs SO well with this food, if you're into that! They have 3 different sized "beer towers" - we didn't get one, but it looks worth it if you're having a time out with 3 of your best buds! Will definitely visit again soon.

    Service was spot on-joint effort! They helped us through the menu items. Wings were great, plan on the time to cook them! I'm not much of a spicy person (at all), so the plain wings were great for me. Soup was ok, but I won't get it again for $10. I didn't get pics of everything- but 2adults 2 teens, did have leftovers...but not of the chicken!! It was super tasty! Hubbie liked the flight with the exception of 1- but I liked that one as it was a cucumber something!! Will be back, hubs really liked it~ but he likes "flavor"/spice. I'd go back for the wings!!

    Decent combo!

    Tenders were pretty good as well as the sides. I can see this place being good for watching sports due to the fact that it has bar setting and multiple TVs. Service was wonderful, I just hate that the floor is sort of sticky!

    My wife and I had a lunch date at this location in southern part of Flower Mound. Wood barn feel with suspended rail road ties on the ceiling. Has a full bar area to the right of the entrance. Quick specifics: Korean influenced place that appears to pride itself on the Korean style chicken wings. There is also selection of Korean dishes. Price is probably a a little higher than average. Lunch special costs $14 and comes with six chicken wings, fries, and a soft drink. It was an ample amount of food and my wife and I could have split the fries for sure they were so plentiful. Love that Korean style fried chicken...pretty good. You can upgrade the fries to Kim-Chee flavoring but that was an extra $3 and my wife and I didn't think it's worth the extra cost. We ordered the spicy garlic soy flavor and hit the spot on flavor. We also ordered the bulgogi bowl. Comes in that really awesome hot stone bowl that seems to keep everything hot forever and fries rice at the bottom of the bowl by the time you get to it. We got a a fried egg added on for $1. The bowl was ok, and by that I mean the bulgogi was more sugar flavored than I prefer. Others for sure might like it but I thought it a bit strong. I would have thought my wife would like it more as she really has a sweet tooth but she said it's just ok as well. Staff super nice and good about explaining things. Asked for a recommendation and was told the lunch special. It came through and again it's good, I just don't know that I'd drive south 15 mins to get there again. But if already in the area I might stop by. Each night it looks like they have a special going on as it flashed on the tv as we were waiting for our food. On that note, the wait was pretty long compared to what we thought....so much so that the server apologized and said the kitchen was running behind. Appreciate honesty. It didn't ruin our date as we got to scroll through and plan our next vacation while waiting. They do offer 5% discount if you pay in cash, which we did and they honored it when they brought back the change. For both those meals table came to $31....after the 5% discount was just under $30. The place is a little loud with that peppy hip hop style music that might have you dancing in your chair, so not an ideal place to take a work call...LOL...I think it might be a good place for after work meetup and to take advantage of the specials they have on each day. There's an energy in the place. Nice bathrooms.

    Complimentary popcorn. So yummy. An unexpected sweet and salty tasting treat. It's nothing like you've ever had. Very good!

    I was in Grapevine and decided to check out Mad Chicken. Korean fried chicken is so good, one of those iykyk kinda deals. I was not disappointed. Service was nice and pleasant. They served complimentary popcorn that has an unusual flavor. Sweet and salty and addictive, it's not a flavor that's easily identified but wow, so good. We had lunch there and tried their chicken tenders, lemon pepper wings and the bibimbap bowl. Everything was made to perfection. I will definitely be back in the next few days!

    The staff (plenty of) kept congregating right by the kitchen/pick up area
    Melika M.

    Went there on Saturday. The concept is nice, restaurant is clean, but almost empty at midday. I believe this partly related to the "dead beat staff." I don't mean to sound mean (lol) but I'm being honest. In my third photo you can see an example of staff congregating where the food pick up area was. We were there for an hour and half and our water was never replenished...and empty when we left. Our server was nice but she and others seemed clueless. Maybe this is their first time...? But still, it's so awkward when 90% of the staff look like high schoolers grouped in one spot with their phones and mouths running. Anytime something was handed aside from the fries, it was awkward lol. They just kept putting it at the opposite end of our booth table and immediately walked away. Also no silverware when we sat down, had to wait for that. The odd popcorn starter on the house provided comes from this big plastic bin. It's not fresh and simply tastes tasteless. I received my meal 20 minutes after my boyfriend got his and he didn't eat until I was able to. I kept eye on the time and not once did we get checked on or mentioning of inconvenience until my food was actually served. /: Food Comments: (1) The toppoki was so oddly sweet. I've had this before at other restaurants and it was nothing like that. But if that's your choice go for it. Also there was no fish taste to the fish cakes. (2) Bulgogi was not good. It tasted like teriyaki beef jerky (that's not dehydrated ofc). It was so sauced and sweet, and the way it was cut?? Never had that before either and I didn't touch it. Texturally and flavor wise unappealing. (3) the Just Fries, were the only great thing we ate there. Portion size is not an issue here. The fries were large and hot. *edit* (4) chicken combo: they were supposed to be a crispy chicken combo but his were soft/sauced? Chili's has crunchier chicken that are sauced. Last side note: one kid had black converse as his shoes - which is fine, but they were *so* unhinged and dirty. The white part to the converse were so blacked and scruffed I was baffled that it was worn at a place of work. This restaurant's concept has potential but the staff is weak. Their bar is made nicely but nobody used it while we were there. We both wished there was more integration between cultures within the menu. Also their menu online is not updated to what was offered in person. Lastly, their actual menu appearance is confusing. Example, you don't know when the appetizers become not appetizers lol. Anyways my reviews are kinda honest and brute. No sugar coating and little tolerance because at the end of the day we go out for a nice experience and leave disappointed.

    Complementary popcorn!
    Suki B.

    A wonderful rustic/urban style place to sit down and eat! NOTE: the vibe and foods weren't really Korean-style in my opinion, but rather a more hipster version? My friend and I were seated right away when walked in; Crystal was our server. Loved the complementary popcorn because I was starving when I came. It's like kettle with some other seasoning I couldn't tell but it was amazing (maybe paprika?? Idk) Free refills! The popcorn was an awesome touch to our stay. The burger was great, but our chicken in the burger was very unseasoned. Like they just slapped breading and put it in the oven or however they cooked it. The sauce and cheese inside the burger tried to make the chicken taste more appetizing but it didn't really work because I could still taste the blandness after a few more bites. Fries were amazing! They were super hot, crispy, and seasoned well. I could eat them with or without the ketchup and it would still taste yummy. Soy garlic wings were crispy (like ASMR crispy) and well seasoned, but the meat inside wasn't. Basically, all the flavor and taste is outside, which isn't really Korean style. Crystal was up on her game with refilling our waters, but towards the end she went somewhere so we couldn't ask her what we needed (more popcorn, the check, picking up the check). It's quite hard to wave servers down because it's dark in the place and because the servers were one step below us. For reference, we sat in the booths, which was up on one stair step for some reason (odd interior choice). It was a pretty slow Saturday, and some servers were just standing near the kitchen so I don't know why it was hard for us to ask for what we needed. Overall, it was a good experience, but could've been better! TLDR; -GET FRIES! -Do not be afraid of getting refills on the popcorn -If you want ASMR-sounding foods, come here -Foods could do better with seasoning -Service could also be better

    Awesome bar!
    Chelsea J.

    This place is unforgettable!!! The food was absolutely delicious in every single way. Every bite punches you with flavor. The chicken takes a bit to come out but as they say, good things come to those so wait! we ordered some appetizers, the quesadilla was one of the best I've ever had. Chicken is SO CRISPY, so full of seasoning, sauce etc. Its unreal how good this place is. I highly recommend, please try them out. You won't be disappointed. P.s- on top of the above mentioned... the service is FIRE! The waiting staff are wonderful. Great establishment.

    Beer tower
    Rachel C.

    I was craving chicken wings for dinner and discovered this place opened right down the street from us. Little did we know we would be here for 4 hours playing games, watching sports, and socializing with the most amazing bartender Hayden. Hayden was a breath of fresh air and one of the most incredible bartenders I have ever had. He introduced us to a delicious Korean liquor. It was so great we ended up taking home a bottle to go. Mad for Chicken has great drink deals. While we were there we had the smoking beer tower. It was a show! Wednesday Thursday you can purchase half price Korean liquor and during happy hour Monday-Friday you get 2 drafts beers on the house with the purchase of a beer tower. We ordered the signature wings with spicy soy sauce. The wings are double fried, they basically melt off the bone and have a delicious crunchy outside. Honestly the best wings I have ever had. The Parmesan fries were a highlight of our trip. Served with a spicy Mayo and the restaurants ketchup. I especially enjoyed the spicy mayonnaise, it was like nothing I have ever had before. Can't forget the amazing house made ranch served with the wings and fries. Hayden and the owner Edward made us feel at home from the start. I have never been to a restaurant that is so welcoming and friendly. Both Edward and Hayden explained the Korean history behind the food items and drinks served at this restaurant. Not only does this place have delicious food, they also have fun games. I came for dinner and ended up staying for hours playing games. Behind the bar they have multiple games to dive into while you enjoy food or cocktails. Hayden even played the first round of the dice game with us, helping us get the hang of it. So helpful and sweet! This place is innovative, scrumptious, and a perfect place for a date night. I can't commend this place enough for the wonderful night they provided us at Mad for Chicken. I can't wait to come back for more! Thank you Mad for Chicken for the best dinner and date night I could've asked for!

    Fried Dumpling
    Amber M.

    Decided to go Monday night for dinner. The menu isn't that big, which could be a good and bad thing. We started out with the drinks. Monday is ALL DAY HAPPY HOUR!!! The drinks were really great. I had the peach crush and my friend had the MFC! Both very refreshing but strong! Starters we tried the fried dumplings. Man were they yummy and spicy! The dumplings were fried to perfection, seasoned well and the sauce had a good kick to it. We both ordered the wings. I'm so happy that the double fry them bc they had just the right amount of crunch. The same sauce that was on the dumplings was also the ones we got on the wings. However the wing sauce wasn't as spicy. I'm assuming the breading really soaked up the spicy garlic sauce Can't wait to go back and try those fries! Ohhh ohh ohh yeah the popcorn that they give you is also freaking amazing lol

    Some of the worst Korean friend chicken I have ever had lack flavor and was all breaded literally was separate from the chicken I don't know what this was but I don't recommend it at all there are so many other better options in the area

    Expanded Menu
    Jeff E.

    I debated on either a 5 or 4 star rating. The only reason for 4 is because it's pricy for fried chicken BUT this is Flower Mound anyone living here should expect that it won't be fast food priced chicken. We came in during the soft opening and now that the menu is expanded. Chicken is great. Very crispy outside and juicy inside. We only ordered the spicy soy for both the boneless and combo order. The boneless were not as spicy as the combo but still spicy enough. We were expecting the boneless pieces to be smaller so were pleasantly surprised that the size of the boneless chicken were a good size. The drums on the combo were also very large. We also ordered dumplings to go. These were great! During the soft opening we also ordered the Parmesan fries. The fries were very crispy but in my onion $12 is a bit much for the size of the order. Overall great service and tasty food.

    Best meat market/bistro/frozen adult beverages place on the planet!…read more There are so many different things to compliment. So, I'll start with the origin, the meat market. The butcher and market staff are top notch. They know their meats and have amazing quality for not an astronomical price. They are my go-to when I am looking to prepare quality proteins. The bistro is one of the best places to get a meal. Their menu is always changing, but they do keep a few staples. For one, their fried catfish plate is probably one of the best I've ever had (I was born and raised in Arkansas, and I have eaten A LOT of catfish in my life). Frozen Flurry's is a treat in itself. They have a rotating selection of various frozen adult beverages that are really good and just right to take home for your own party. We will get a couple half-gallon jugs to go at least once a month! In all of this, the staff and the ownership are friendly, helpful, and make everyone feel welcome.

    No More Brunch - at least on Sundays - Website not updated yet…read more Must be a new thing because in the short time we were there, a couple other tables came in then left once they found out the Brunch Menu was not available. We were starving so stayed and had catfish plate and smoked turkey sandwich. This is the first time we were not super satisfied with our meals. Maybe it was because we were looking forward to brisket tacos & chicken & waffles. We had great service from Nathan! We grabbed some meat to bring home. Love making griddle burgers with the flurry grind.

Normally, I don't consider people from St. Louis to be credible deli evaluators, but I was desperate and made the hour drive to Grapevine. We got there at 11:15 and the line was nearly to the door. Within 30 minutes, it was well out into the street. That was a promising sign. The sandwich menu covered the entire wall over the counter. Lots of non-New-York sandwiches like Cubans, gyros, etc, but over in the left corner were the classic Ruebens and pastramis. I went for the latter. A REAL NY deli usually has a few soups like split pea and chicken noodle and matzoh. No soups. Bummer. They had a half dozen sides - 3 kinds of potato salads and a few slaws. I went with the German potato salad. The drink option was spartan - they tossed a styrofoam cup at me and pointed to the soda fountain. The pastrami sandwich was OK for Texas. A SUPER pastrami sandwich on hard rye can get me moaning like Meg Ryan in "When Harry Met Sally" -- only I don't have to fake it. The German potato salad was watery and bland - I should have gone with the mustard potato salad. Turnaround was on the slow side. Napkins = paper towel roll on table. Flimsy plasticware. The overall vibe was affordable utilitarian. I'll give the sandwich a 4, everything else a 3. Next time I'll drive the extra half hour to Cindi's.
