    Half chicken
    Stephanie C.

    The best fried chicken in Dallas. The 3-piece dark is my favorite, always fried perfectly. Their sides are all fresh and delicious. The mashed potatoes, green beans and mac & cheese are my favorite. They also have a great selection of sauces. The staff is friendly and efficient. Can't recommend enough!

    It's good chicken, man. The kind of good chicken that makes you stop mid-bite and nod silently at nobody. I kept wondering who Mike was, so I looked it up--turns out Mike's Chicken is Vietnamese-owned, which somehow made me trust the operation even more. Fair warning: when you go, be ready to wait about 20 minutes--or order ahead like someone who values their time. They cook everything to order. I was like, what? In this fast-food age of heat lamps and broken dreams? But the wait is worth it. The chicken comes out fresh and hot as fuck. Crispy, juicy, and clearly made by people who respect the craft. This isn't grab-and-go chicken. This is sit down, shut up, and appreciate chicken.

    This place is great! Friends introduced me to this place and now it's definitely on my top places for fried chicken. The chicken was nice and juicy and flavorful along with all the sides. Service was great too, super nice and kind and helpful. Located in a pretty good area as well. Inside has plenty of seating, which makes it a great spot to go with family or friends.

    The best fried chicken in DFW honestly. I've never had a bad food experience here. Everything is made fresh so the order will take around 10-15min if there isn't a rush.

    Did not expect this place to be so insanely busy outside of "peak" meal hours, but I soon validated the hype. I kept it simple and got some tenders, and it took probably 20-ish minutes for the food to be ready for pickup at the counter. It took far fewer than 20-ish minutes for me to delete everything on the plate, both because I was starving and it was tasty. The place inside can get a bit chaotic when busy; but there are generally enough tables to handle their turnover speed. Parking can be tricky and they have signs informing customers that neighboring businesses will tow, so just be mindful of that. We found a spot behind the building.

    I have tried this place out 3 times at this point. I do like the battered crust on the chicken. The chicken is juicy. All ingredients are fresh. The chicken could use more seasoning. Fries are soft on inside and crunchy outside. The Mac and cheese was ok.... Could have more flavor. The cookie stole the show. Excellent!! It was filled with Reese's , moist, good size, gooey and yummy. I would probably go back. It is not most favorite style of chicken but it is worth trying and it is enjoyable. Chicken: 8/10 Mac an cheese: 6/10 Fries: 9/10 Reese's cookie: 10/10

    I've had Mike's Chicken on my list for some time and finally tried it on my third trip to Dallas. I arrived before noon and things were quiet but while eating and as it got closer to noon, it got really busy. My food took about 25 minutes to come out for a 2 piece with corn and coleslaw. Overall, it was tasty, hot, fresh. Loved the chicken and biscuit. Sides were ok. Like that this meal came with two dipping sauces. I can understand the hype.

    Came here on a Friday night and put our orders in right before the rush came. Everything is made to order, so once you place your order you have about a 15 minute wait. Staff is kind and informative. THE FOOD WAS FINGERLICKIN GOOD!!!

    Two piece and a biscuit!

    So, have been to the one on Maple several times, but it's a far drive so haven't been there in a couple years. However, I sometimes have to be in north Dallas for business, and this one on Forest is close enough to justify the side trip. I can still say that Mike's has the best damn chicken in DFW. I agree that the sides can be a little underwhelming, and nowadays I usually just grab a couple spicy breasts (yea baby) and sometimes an order of fries (nothing fancy, still good) and forget the plates. But honestly, this is one of those places that you come for the main attraction and if you're counting anything else, well, that's just not right. Yes, you can wait 15 minutes or more when you order at the counter. I've finally come to the point where when my work is done, I borrow someone's computer and order it online, and it's usually ready by the time I get there. This is the way to do it. It's so hot when I pick it up, by the time I get back to my main hub 20-30 minutes later, it's the perfect temp to eat. Don't listen to any Elite types who bad mouth any of the locations. I've never had anything but perfect chicken here. Try it for yourself.

    3-Piece Dark Fried Chicken with Creamed Corn and Mac n Cheese
    Andy L.

    Rating: 9/10 Date Last Visited: 9/19/2025 I ordered the 3-Piece Dark Fried Chicken ($12.50) with Creamy Corn and Mac & Cheese (+$1). The fried chicken combo comes with your choice of two sides, a biscuit, and sauce. The fried chicken itself was insane - perfectly fried, seasoned with spice, and super juicy. Probably some of the best fried chicken I've had. The sides were quite delicious too - the creamy corn is a must get and a perfect compliment to the chicken. The mac n cheese was good too, but not the best I've had. The biscuit was a bit dry, but still decent. For the price, this is such a good deal. The cashiers are really nice and the restaurant is pretty clean - free water with lemon is offered as well. Overall, I would 100% recommend this place if you enjoy fried chicken.

    Stopped by to pick up chicken dinner. 2 pieces crispy chicken with mash potatoes & corn. Not one bad bite.

    Yelp 100 Challenge - #22 This is my second visit to this location and I have been impressed both times. Food is made to order so visit with enough time to wait for your food and enjoy your food. Both times they have been busy but food is fast and people are in an out. You can also place your order online to avoid waiting. The wait is roughly 20 - 30 minutes for bone in chicken and less for tenders. I often order the chicken with two slides and an extra biscuit to enjoy later. Sides range from fries, green beans, baked beans, to mac and cheese. Parking is limited so depending on the time of your visit, you may have to park in the back or near and walk over. Casual ambiance with fast friendly service.

    Chicken Tenders, green beans, biscuit, mashed potatoes
    Walker C.

    Best chicken tenders in Dallas--hands down. I know chicken tenders aren't usually the true test of a fried chicken joint, but these blew me away. I ordered the 4-piece tender, and to my surprise, found a 5th in the box when I got home--an unexpected bonus I was very glad to have. The chicken was perfectly crispy with a well-seasoned coating, while the inside stayed juicy and tender. Each bite had that ideal breading-to-meat ratio. The biscuit was excellent--fluffy, buttery, and with just a hint of sweetness. For sides, I had the green beans and mashed potatoes, both of which hit the spot. If you're craving fried chicken, I can't recommend Mike's Chicken enough.

    This is how chicken should be. The chicken is crispy and juicy and their mashed potatoes are so good.

    Ask the Community - Mike's Chicken

    Do you still offer halal chicken?

    I don't think they've ever had.

    What is in Mike's sauce?

    I have no idea! I always get the spicy chicken, so no sauce needed.

    Do they serve alcohol? BYOB?

    No why would they.

    Nando's is such a wonderful place to go. I first experienced it in Eswatini and South Africa and…read moreimmediately felt in love with the vibes and food. Whether it be the African locations, in Toronto, or this Addison location, Nando's never disappoints. The service is always consistent and good. The ambiance is great with great music filling the room. And the food is wonderful. We got the family platter which comes with juicy chicken, delicious kebobs, and sides - we chose peri peri fries, Mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes. You can't go wrong with any of these, but the Brussels sprouts are fire - highly recommend them.

    Last I had Nando's was almost a decade ago in DC. So I was stoked to see this store in Addison. It…read morewas a gorgeous location, full of colors. Both indoor and outdoor seats were available. When I went on weekday dinner time, the place was packed. I was lucky to get one of the last tables. It was a semi self serve, I put in the order via website, got my utensils and water, but the staff brought the drinks and dishes to the table. I was looking forward to trying the chicken liver, but they were out of stock. That was a bummer! But I ordered the quarter dark meat chicken with mango lime sauce. I was glad the chicken still tasted so good, topped with really flavorful grilled skin. The coleslaw and fries were decent side. Prices were good for most of the items. The staff members were nice. The shift manager apologized for not having the chicken liver and processed the refund right away. They also checked with us multiple times if we got all our items. All the sauces, utensils, water bottles were constantly refilled in the condiment area. I enjoyed the peri peri experience here after such a long and also regretted at the same time that they don't have any location in NYC/North NJ.
