It's a shame that a space this huge was empty at Sunday lunchtime, because the dirty Mac I got was delicious! Can't say anything about the fried chicken though haha. read more

Main Bird Hot Chicken - #4. Dirty Mac - Chicken Shop Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place was absolutely delicious from start to finish. The spice level was perfect and actually delivered real heat without sacrificing flavor. I ordered two spicy sliders and they did not disappoint. They were truly spicy but still juicy, flavorful, and well balanced. The chicken was cooked perfectly with a great crunch on the outside and tender on the inside. The fries were just as good as the sliders. They had a great texture, crispy on the outside and soft inside, with excellent seasoning that did not overpower the food. The side sauce they serve really elevated everything and paired perfectly with both the sliders and the fries. The overall experience was great. The food came out fresh, hot, and clearly made with care. If you are someone who enjoys bold flavor and real spice, this is definitely a spot worth checking out. I will absolutely be coming back. read more

very very disappointing they charged me 19 dollars for 1 chicken poor customer service they will less fires. I would recommend not to waste your money at such bullshit place read more

The food is really mid, just over seasoned tenders they basically charging 10$ for a chicken tender here because I got the number 6 which is one slider and 1 tender...the slider is just a tender inbetween bread . 15.99 and if you don't way crinkle cut fries and you want waffle fries instead it's an upcharge . And the combos don't even come with a drink.... If you want a sauce that's an extra charge. If you want to sub any side it's an extra charge lol then in the drive thru they have the nerve to ask for a tip also lol. It's a drive thru why am I tipping? Chicken wasn't crispy. The waffle fries were really good but you just simply don't get the bang for your buck here, Dave's hot chicken runs their place much better tbh. read more

A fun spot. Fun and clean atmosphere ands they are dialed in on chicken. The kids chicken tenders were good and I enjoyed my two slider dish with waffle fries. If I had a critique, they could use a healthy option as a side dish but if you aren't worried about health, this is a good spot read more

The place was completely quiet--just a single worker at the front taking orders. The only sound was my footsteps echoing on the sticky floor as I walked in and out. I ordered the Slaw Slider and asked for pickles on the side. I even confirmed it again after she mentioned it, and she assured me she heard the request. Got home... no pickles. Great. As for the sandwich itself--definitely not winning any presentation points. The bun was smashed, the bottom soggy, and the chicken fell out the moment I picked it up. Compared to other hot chicken spots, the appearance was a letdown. Now, for the good part: the taste. I got the mild level, and the seasoning was spot-on. Just enough spice to enjoy without it being overwhelming. What really made it hit was the hot honey I got on the side--drizzled it on top and it brought everything together. Overall, I'd come back--but only based on taste. read more

Absolute delicious fried chicken tenders, chicken sandwich, salad, and their dirty Mac and also they cluck it fries. I felt like the combination plates were a good value for the price and the overall flavor was delicious. This location made the entrées, fresh and hot. The staff were friendly and welcoming as we ordered and also checked in on us while we ate appreciate that kind of attentiveness. Maggie and Alex are very professional and kind. The atmosphere is inviting fun music clean. The parking lot is large, but you might not get a spot directly in front of the restaurant as it shares it with other retail stores. I recommend this location and plan on coming back. No, this is a rating based on a fried chicken tender place and it's five stars based on that kind of food. Note my rating system: 1 Star: I wouldn't recommend 2 Stars: Didn't hit my standards 3 Stars: Average (nothing special) 4 Stars: Above Average. Would recommend. Still looking for the 5 Star. 5 Stars: Top of their game. Great food. Great service. Would recommend and plan on returning. read more

Don't let the location fool you as this spot is worth a visit! The interior is nicely decorated, and ordering is done via kiosk. I got the tender meal for $14 which was a good portion, crispy chicken and fries, and flavorful seasoning. The "medium" spice wasn't spicy, but the sauce was delicious. Overall, a solid place to try. read more

Main Bird Hot Chicken - Tender Meal - Chicken Shop Near Me - Houston, Texas

Visiting the area and landed here off the food offerings in my immediate area. Enjoyed the Dirty Mac with Main Bird Sauce, added pickle and the Hot Honey + Main Bird Sauce. Will just be going Pickle + double Main Bird Sauce next time, as a preference. Food was great! Anthony helped me understand specifics with the menu and offered recommendations to get me what i was after. 100% recommend stopping in for a visit! read more

My first time trying this place. I ordered the 15 piece wings and crinkle cut fries. The wings came with a choice of 2 "wet" sauces. I requested bbq (worst bbq sauce I have ever eaten) . The sauce tasted like a poor blend of ketchup and some other indistinguishable flavors. The sweet teriyaki was just ok. The crinkle cut fries, which I requested extra crispy, were also some of the work tasting fries I've ever gotten from a fast food joint. Tasted like they may have been made first thing in the morning and sat under a heat lamp most of the day, not at all crispy. I had high hopes for this place, but was sadly disappointed. I'll go down the street and get my wings from Southern Yankee Crafthouse..the best wings imho. read more

I stopped by Main Bird Hot Chicken and decided to order the wings, as they are the only item on the menu that doesn't come with pickles. I tried two flavors: the Mango Habanero, which was billed as more sweet than hot, and the Hot level. I could not tell the difference between the two. neither had a flavor. I did not get "waffle fries, I got crinkle fries. and they charged me for a drink I did not get. my 10 dollar wings ended at 18 plus change. It was my first and last order. read more

This is by far one of the best hot chicken places I have ever been to. I had the chicken wrap which was so delicious and really fresh! The chicken was so tasty and I am looking forward to trying other dishes. The atmosphere was really cool and I loved the red and black theme! The customer service was really great and they were generous to give my boyfriend and I free drinks as a first time customer. They have some of the best macaroni and cheese I have ever had! I can't wait to come back in the future. read more

Ordered drive thru. Solid hot chicken, what you would expect. Faith and Tina were great!

We visited this location during their grand opening when everything was 50% off so we tried the cluck it up fries, dirty mac fries, chicken tenders, and bird wrap. I'm completely obsessed with the dirty mac fries - not only is it an absolute steal, but it's a crazy large portion and every single component is delicious. I end up eating this over 3-4 days and to put in perspective how great this place is, I've had this menu item 3 times now and they only just opened a few weeks ago. I docked a star because their bird wrap is pretty terrible. The lettuce is soggy, and I'm not sure why they use ranch instead of their comeback sauce. Truly seemed like a miss to have this as a "healthy" option because it doesn't blend in with the rest of their menu. read more

I went for their grand opening, and got a free slider. I also ordered their waffle fries, crinkle fries, and mac and cheese. Everything was really tasty, but since I got the free slider, I didn't get to choose the spice level. It was a medium (I think) and for me, it wasn't spicy at all. I'm also not sure if it was supposed to have coleslaw (it only had pickles) but it was still tasty! I really enjoyed the seasoning on both types of fries. The Mac and cheese was good but nothing special. I didn't go inside, so I'm not sure how it looks, but every employee I encountered was really nice. read more

yummy, yummy, YUMMY! We were going to get some Dave's hot chicken, but remembered we never tried this place, so we headed over to check it out. IT did NOT disappoint! The sand which you see below forgot the name but I give it a 6.5/10 cuz it's pretty. (Nothing special to it really, tastes like any other chicken slider burger) BUT THE DIRTY MAC. It's cheaper than the cluck it up fries and has mac n cheese w it. SO GOOD! 9.5/10! read more

We have been to the food truck before but when we saw there was a brick and mortar, we had to check it out. They did a super cute job with the decor. We both got the original comeback sliders which comes with their OG sauce. It was good but I will say that it doesn't beat Dave's Hot Chicken. I did enjoy their crinkled fries, they were seasoned well with a light crisp. The service was great though, they have a self checkout kiosk so it's super quick and efficient. Not bad if you're in a rush. read more

The food was great and I enjoyed the whole seatings and the place itself, it's just when I asked the cashier that I didn't understand a part of the menu when choosing the different types of food he didn't care to explain and laughed at my question, this is my first time here and I'm just getting mixed feelings read more

Daelani was very helpful great with communication, food was amazing and fresh she was very nice too I had a very great service with her!!

Food was ok, service horrible I took 20 minutes to get my food. I never got my received. will not return to this place.

I recently placed an order for DoorDash. As I was not able to edit my order, I reach out to the store. The numbers listed for this location is not in service. This is a disservice to customers. If the store doesn't allow special instructions, then we should be able to call the store, especially if we want to remove an ingredient that can cause a reaction. read more

the lady at the drive thru got to be the rudest person at a drive thru i've experienced. Big back lady with the pink hair, cheer the hell up. No one accepted the job but you and if you're a decent business owner this would be addressed. it is only my second time here and both times it's been awful customer service. Mico's, Dave's, and almost any other hot chicken place is better than this place. You'll get yelled at for ordering food read more

I've been on a hot chicken kick lately and while driving down westheimer road after hurricane beryl trying to find a place to eat. We came across this place so we decided to try it ! We ordered the dirty Mac half cheese sauce/comeback sauce with extra chicken (still barely any chicken) and the slider meal with hot honey on one and come back sauce on the other. We ordered hot for both orders but there's not a slightest tingle. The chicken was bland and the hot honey tasted off. I'm also not a fan of their cheese sauce. Definitely not worth the calories. read more

Main Bird Hot Chicken - Dirty Mac with extra chicken half cheese sauce and half comeback sauce - Chicken Shop Near Me - Houston, Texas

Main Bird wants to mirror Raising Canes with a hot chicken version of tenders. Let's see who won battle tenders. The Vibe: very clean and decorated nice in a black and red motif with some edgy murals on the walls and a big sign proclaiming that their chicken is "Hot AF." Guy behind the counter friendly and helpful. Neon open sign was off and a secondary open/closed sign said that they were closed, but they were open on a Tuesday at 12:15 PM. I was the only customer which is a bit of a bad sign. Looked like the drive-through had some cars. A few people came to pick up orders while I was there. The tenders: I got the two tender meal. The tenders were large and juicy. I was a little concerned they might have been undercooked. You can choose from five different levels of heat which are applied in a dry rub. I chose the "mid" and I could have gone hotter. In battle tender, Canes wins. Crinkle fries: Main Bird's crinkle fries were crispy and the best part of my meal. They were excellent. Only two little ketchup packets provided. This round goes to Main Bird. Toast: I love the Cane's buttered toast that comes with your meal. Even better if you get it buttered on both sides. The Main Bird version is plain white bread toasted on one side. Each tender sits on a piece of bread. Some of the tender seasoning had soaked into the bread. It was good. I ate both pieces. Winner: Canes. The sauce: Cane's sauce is legendary. Main Bird's "comeback sauce" is a dupe of the Cane's sauce. It tasted pretty close and looked to have more black pepper. Main Bird gives you one for each tender in your order. Canes can be a little stingy with their sauce. But, Canes is better. Winner sauce:Canes. Pickles: Main Bird tenders each had a couple of pickles on top. I like pickles, but didn't try these. They looked house made. They were bright and fresh. Since Canes doesn't offer pickles, MB wins this round. My drink: I asked for iced tea and was told they only offer fountain raspberry iced tea or a sweetened tea in a bottle which was not displayed anywhere. I consider this a mortal sin of Texas restaurants. In Texas, you have to have brewed iced tea. Main Bird had the equipment to brew ice tea, they just don't. I went with Dr Pepper from the fountain which was totally watered down. Canes has iced tea. Main Bird's hours said they are open to 4 AM seven days a week. This seems great for the late night crowd. I'm usually in bed much earlier. All in all, not a bad experience, but probably one that won't bring me back. Will probably drive a little further to go to a Canes. read more

First I would like to say this was my wife and I first time ever patronizing Main Bird Hot Chicken, as we walked to the counter the young lady with the piercings left the front and went into the back for a moment. She then came back never said anything just stood back from the counter. While standing at the counter along with overlooking the overhead menu. We told the young lady we were ready to order, she replied you can use the screen. We were like this is our first time ever coming here, she still stated to use the screen. On the other hand another guest came in and she quickly began to take his order and assist him and also took his order at the register. Go figure!!!! First and last time never coming back.....,, read more

First time coming and I thought it was very good. Might come back if in the area. I would recommend this place. I tried their dirty mac mild and thought it was a very good combination. I ordered on the drive thru and thought the service was very fast. I think the quality and quantity price relation is fair. Didn't go inside so no idea what it looks like inside. read more

Got the cluck it up fries with both cheese and comeback sauces, and they were good! The waffle fries were crunchy and seasoned well, and for the chicken, I got extra hot. The chicken was as crunchy and seasoned pretty well, but, I'd say it was more of a medium flavor compared to some of the competitors hot flavors. I had been forewarned by a friend that the chicken wasn't very spicy/hot at all really...and he was right about that unfortunately. Maybe a good place if you don't like your chicken too spicy and want to play it safe. The crew was very friendly and helpful, and the place is new so it's very clean. Worth a try! read more

Services was amazing, Eric was super attentive explaining the menu. We ordered from the main chick options! Everything was excellent! Macaroni and cheese was definitely amazing. A good must try! read more

great place with awesome costumer service from someone named Mickey. He has a great personality and super funny

This was my first time eating Main Bird at their storefront. I've only had it on their louetta location. The fries tasted just as good as when I first had it. I ordered Cluck it up fries with half special sauce / cheese and their mac and cheese. The fries are a good portion of food! You can order on the kiosk or with a worker. Worker was really friendly and recommended the most popular entree. The vibe is cool with great music! read more

Great service but the food was less to be desired. Not alot of flavor and chicken was dry on my and my 2 sons meal. Probably won't go back.

First off, I was welcomed when I walked in and asked if it was my first time here. I ordered on the kiosk and went to get a drink. Unfortunately, the soda machine was broken. I paid $3 for a fountain drink and was not told until after it was broken, which is kinda shady. Instead, I was given a bottle drink. When the food arrived, it was all room temperature to cold. It seemed like I was basically handed leftovers and not something made fresh. Overall, I was disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The service was not up to par and the food was not fresh. I hope that the restaurant can improve in the future. read more
