Mikes is a Dallas staple with a lot of hype. After my first visit, I'm not sure if it's completely worth the hype, but is definitely very good. I was impressed by the quality of the chicken, the fried batter was great. The seasoning was pretty good as well, though I was hoping for more of a kick. My biggest qualm with Mike's were the sides. I felt that, while they were good, they didn't complement the chicken well, and were not on the same caliber of flavor. The fries were great but the corn lacked the rich creamy feel I was hoping for. The biscuit was decent at best and was not special. The sauces were pretty good, but did not stand out. Overall planning to come back to give it a second rate, but the chicken was a 9/10, fries 7.5/10, corn 7/10 and biscuit 6.5/10. read more

The fried chicken is outstanding--whether you go for spicy or plain. The cream of corn is delightful, and the mac and cheese doesn't disappoint. The biscuit, though a bit dry, pairs well with the meal, and the large mixed green salad with balsamic was satisfying. Ordering is simple: queue up, place your order, and grab a seat while you wait for your number to be called. Service is quick. Casual dining vibe. Parking can be tricky during peak lunch or dinner hours, but the food makes it well worth the effort! read more

Delicious mom-and-pop fried chicken spot in North Dallas! The chicken is fried to perfection with super crispy skin. The meat inside is well cooked and flavorful. The great thing is that you get to choose if you want 2 legs and 1 thigh or 2 thighs and 1 leg for the 3-piece dark. Coleslaw is more on the less creamy side which is my favorite. It's very refreshing with barely any mayo, which helps cut through the richness of the fried chicken. Creamy corn is also not heavy and slightly sweet. Their freshly brewed sweet tea is true Southern style sweet tea that makes your heart happy. Pricing is very affordable - each plate comes with 2 sides, 1 sauce and 1 biscuit and each plate is about $12-15 with $15 is for half chicken. The restaurant is very bright and clean with good country music played in the background. I highly recommend Mike's Chicken to anyone looking for comfort food in the area. read more

Chicken was decently seasoned, moist, and crisp. All the sides were very average 3/5 and nothing to rave about. The biscuit tasted like a premade frozen biscuit you could get from the grocery store. I wouldn't go out of my way for this chicken, but it's decent. They don't serve the orders in exact order of who ordered first. It depends on the sides and mains you ordered. For just this plate we waited 20 minutes and many people after us were served first. read more

Amazing fried chicken. While I love fried chicken I rarely eat it as I try to minimize fried food in my diet. However, when I do get it, it's from Mike's!! Juicy, crispy, seasoned to perfection. Piping hot and fresh. The green beans are great and seasoned well. Coleslaw is fine - it's tangy and not your typical coleslaw. Picked up the order, but it's a casual eatery inside and was packed! Service when picking it up was polite and quick. read more

Mikes chicken is the GOAT. Haha. They have crispy but juicy chicken. My fav is their mikes buffalo sauce. It not like buffalo sauce where it's tangy this one just super good can't explain. I usually get their sweet corn and mash potatoes. And their 3 piece dark. Honestly idk why I get 3 pieces I can't ever finish it. But it's so good! They fill out your food well. The inside is tiny I suggest to go unless not busy. But there usually crazy busy. read more

I love how fresh the food is fried here - everything is made to order, but each time I come, the chicken seems to get more and more oily. As much as I like it, I think my middle aged self can't do this guilty indulgence anymore. This chicken might be a young person's game. Recommend ordering online for pickup before you come to minimize wait times! read more

Apparently, this is a Dallas highlight for fried chicken. I came with a local but it was our first time here. They have all sorts of chicken - tenders, wings, leg, thighs, etc. There is a spicy option as well, but otherwise, your flavor choices are limited to their many dipping sauces. I ordered the tender sandwich and another 3 tenders for 2 people. The sandwich was super tasty and although it was heavy, it was not as heavy of a meal as I expected. The spice level was a nice, tolerable level. The workers were very friendly. They checked up on our order numbers and let us know how much longer it would take. Be aware, they make everything fresh and the wait times can be 15+ minutes as their signs indicate. Parking during busy hours can be tough. The parking lot is shared with several other businesses, and the compact spots are TINY. read more

Can't believe it's taken this long to get to Mike's but here we are. It's a very clean and quaint strip mall joint with no frills. Take advantage of the pre-order kiosk if you want to skip the line too. I don't know how else to say this, but these are the best chicken tenders in Dallas. They were so fresh and so hot, it felt like they were made specifically for me. Mike's sauce is far superior to Cane's comeback sauce and their Buffalo sauce is my new favorite. I love the subtle hit of peanut flavor I get with it. My slaw, despite being a little dry, was seasoned and flavored perfectly. It was peppery and lemony and it cut through the fried richness of the tenders. The biscuit is similar to that of the biscuit you might get at KFC, except if only KFCs biscuit was hot, buttery, and perfect, The mac and cheese was the only miss for me. It was kinda dry and not really hot. I'll try the green beans next time. Can't wait to come back! read more

First time here! I ordered the leg & thigh with green beans and Mac & cheese. I got spicy chicken. It was cooked to order, fresh, hot, crispy and accurately described as jalapeño spice level. The green beans were nothing special, steamed and lightly salted. I was trying to have some healthy aspect to the meal. The Mac & cheese was ok. I took a gamble ordering it bc the menu said it included Gruyère cheese but it left more to be desired. I wasn't a fan. Expect a wait since the chicken is cooked to order. Solid spot to get your fried chicken fix. read more

Mike's Chicken has the best fried chicken that I've tasted in Dallas so far. I only give them 4 stars because their sides are lacking. All of the sides are just mid. I'll often order their chicken and another places sides (including the fries). It's typically a little bit longer of a wait than pick up time during peak hours (weekends and around 4-7). Otherwise it's a typical fast casual eating spot read more

The chicken is moist and tasty. I like that i never have to add any seasonings to anything, once I get the food home. There is something special about the biscuits, that i can't put my finger on, and the green beans are my favorite side. read more

Was told to try Mike's when in Dallas, so here I am! Definitely top notch chicken packed with flavor and crunch. Everything is made fresh to order which takes a bit of time, but worth it. Great service from stepping into the restaurant to finish which involved a greeting, questions answered and a farewell. Everything looked well maintained with good tables and restrooms. Definitely recommend to try out Mike's if you're trying to get away from KFC or Popeyes. read more

For my birthday yesterday, we came here to celebrate with a simple meal -- and once again, the food did not disappoint! Though it took a little while to arrive, everything came out piping hot and absolutely delicious. The corn was okay, but we enjoyed the churros and peanut butter cookies for dessert, which were fantastic. After 11 years of consistently great food, it's easy to see why we keep coming back! read more

I am so addicted and I'm not alone. Mike's fried chicken draws me in with a thin, super crunchy crust and super juicy chicken. I almost never use the offered sauces, don't need them. The sides are top tier too. A vinegary slaw, good fries, and mac and cheese help make the 1/2 chicken two meals. read more

This place is awesome. The lunch time rush certainly gave credence to the hype and my first bite more than justufied it. I got the standard fried chicken with Mike's Sauce and Ranch, sides if green beans and creamed corn. Everything was delicious. The amazing thing about the chicken was hiw juicy it was inside while giving a great crunch. Thats all you can ask for in a fried chicken bite. The location itself is in a standard strip mall. A signaled intersection into the center allows easy access. Lots of parking but it was busy. The dining room is big and good for groups but during lunch time it was packed. If you love fried chicken this place is going to do right by you. read more

Ah, the hype train, and all over something as mundane as fried chicken. I just had to check out what all the fuss was about, and it did not disappoint. It's in a rather plebian pad with industrial fixtures, which is appropriate considering the food in question. Menu is simple, and straightforward, it's fried chicken and sides. I got the tenders with a few accessories to try, coleslaw, mac & cheese, and French fries. The chicken protein wise was higher quality than say Raising Cane's, seasoning was similar. Personally I prefer a medium spicy tender, which is not an option here, but nonetheless a stellar tender. The coleslaw was very natural, served without your typical mayonnaise/remoulade. It had a nice crisp bite and freshness. Everything was good, however it was a bit under seasoned for my palate. Some cayenne pepper would've done wonders, but I see why they do it like this. Conceptually it's much like Five Guy's, who does not season their beef patties, letting the user in theory add as much or as little seasoning as they desire. This does get a bit dicey with fried chicken though as the coating contains the majority of the flavor. Service was rudimentary but prompt and friendly, nothing anomalous. Sauce is of course the pervasive orange goop that you'll find everywhere, not to say it's bad, just not unique. read more

We only ordered a spicy chicken leg because we were so full already. It was very juicy and pretty spicy. Not anything mind blowing and I didn't feel inclined to take another bite. My boyfriend literally doesn't even remember eating it at all. That's how forgettable it was. read more

Until the Richardson/Plano location opens up, this is the closest Mike's Chicken to us, and it's still the best fried chicken around. My husband and I usually split a three or four piece tender combo and a two or three piece dark meat combo, plus assorted sides. Love how tender and moist the chicken is, as well as the nice kick in the spicy batter. Our favorite sauces are the house sauce and the gravy, and our favorite sides are the corn, the baked beans, and the fries. The biscuits are also so buttery with a light sweetness on top, and they go great with the gravy. Perfect comfort food whenever we're craving fried chicken! read more

I really enjoyed the food! The fried chicken was delicious and I love the sides they offer and not just fries like a lot of places. All of the dipping sauces are really good! I do wish they had honey or jam for the biscuit but it's not a big deal. The service was good and they were super patient as we ordered a lot to try out. Parking kinda sucks as it's in a small lot so just be mindful. I would definitely recommend! read more

Hands down best place for fried chicken in DFW. They are usual busy and fry your chicken fresh so be prepared to wait about 15-20 minutes after you order before you get your food. I don't know what they put in the batter or how they get it but it's always consistently crispy and juice on the inside. The sides are a good compliment to the chicken and they offer a variety of dipping sauces. Definitely recommend getting the spicy chicken vs regular. There's a good amount of seating; restaurant is pretty casual. When my husband asks which chicken place to go to, I always answer Mikes! read more

I've been meaning to give Mike's chicken a try ever since I saw Dre review them on TikTok. What I will say is I love when a business executes on all fronts, from concept to design to service. When you walk in to Mike's North Dallas location you're met with modern farmhouse decor (wood accents throughout, greenery, "lantern" lights etc) which is cute because they sell chicken dishes so the play on words & them bringing the "farm to table" to life is quite impressive. I ordered to go and my server was Larissa G. What I love is how warm her greeting was when I walked up. She also was sure to inform before ordering that there'd be a 20 min wait, as everything is made to order (really important to know if you have any time constraints & something to watch for as this place was pretty packed when I came). They also have a sign posted that tells you typical wait times throughout the week. For lunch I ordered their 2 wing plate, which comes with two sides, a biscuit & a dipping sauce of your choosing. I paid $11.36, which is not bad at allll knowing how overpriced food is in Dallas. It would've been a $1 cheaper but certain sides are an upcharge, which I'm not mad at. The They also have decent priced drinks ($2.50 for regular fountain drink, or free water stand) if you need something to wash the food down. In terms of flavor, not bad at all. The fries I had were cooked to perfection. I was suprised to bite into my macaroni and find it on the colder side, but it has a nice bite to it - definitely not your typical mac and cheese in terms of flavor as they use gruyère. The biscuit was nice and fluffy, slightly sweet from whatever glaze they use & the chicken...all I can say is CRISPY CRUNCHY DELICIOUSNESS, and although the chicken doesn't need any sauce their signature Mike's sauce is fire. Check them out if you haven't yet ! read more

People, if you want great fried chicken and really good sides, come here! I can't believe I didn't see this new location open. I had been driving the extra way out of the way miles to go to the other location. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful, and understand the term "customer service" which is lacking these days at most restaurants. EASY to find, easy to park and be ready to wait on your order to be cooked! (None of that hours old fried chicken at this place!) I like both the spicy and the regular fried chicken. can't go wrong with either. My last order, the chicken was bursting with moisture. No dried out chicken here., The coleslaw is really good, the green beans are good, the beans are really good and I LOVE the corn. The restaurant is light and airy with a modern vibe. Makes piddling with your phone while waiting on your order kind of nice. It isn't the cheapest chicken in town, but it is really worth it! read more

The skinny: Go for the chicken, nothing else matters The lengthy: Was in Texas to preach select passages from Ephesians for youth at a church retreat. As a Californian, I have had Korean fried chicken, Cantonese fried chicken, KFC, Popeyes, and various other non-chain offerings. When we got there around 515-30, the place was beginning to accrue customers. I ordered the 3-piece dark with cole slaw and green beans (double veggie because colon) and Mike's sauce, also came with a biscuit. - Chicken: hot and tender meat, crispy skin, not too salty. This carried the meal to 5 stars. - Green beans: a bit mushy, seemed like it was made from frozen, but i was not expecting much - Cole slaw: sweet and not overdressed - Mike's Sauce: To be honest, I could not tell if i was trying Mike's sauce or if i stole my friend's Chipotle mayo. I preferred the less spicy of the two. They have plastic gloves available to help prevent over-washing hands. That was a nice touch. My hand was super sweaty after, but considerably less greasy than if I had gone without the gloves. If ever in the area again, I would like to go back. read more

If you LOVE fried chicken the way I do? Do yourself a favor and checkout Mike's Chicken! Now I know what you're thinking. "Fried chicken is fried chicken, and this is just another fried chicken spot." But NOTHING can be further from the truth. Mike's Chicken puts their Vietnamese heritage into every crispy bite. Plus, the chicken is always made to order(with that being said, if you don't have 20-25 minutes to burn; order ahead). Ensuring that you consistently get fresh hot chicken every time! Since this was my first time ordering, I got the half chicken, which comes with 2 sides(we went with the mac n cheese and baked beans)and a biscuit. Just to broaden our backs a little more, we added coleslaw, mashed potatoes with gravy, and Mike's dipping sauce. The chicken was divine! Deep golden brown with flecks of black pepper embedded in the crust, this chicken was perfectly cooked. It was well seasoned, juicy, and had the most satisfying crunch ever! The baked beans were really good with a tangy and slightly sweet flavor (which I love), and the mashed potatoes were good as well. Now, the Mac n cheese and coleslaw was not what was up. The mac n cheese was surprisingly bland, and the coleslaw was as well( which hurt my poor little feelings). It was almost like they forgot to dress the coleslaw. The biscuit was fluffy and tasty, and the Mike's sauce paired well with chicken. Even though 2 of the sides we ordered were not a hit, Mike's Chicken is a solid chicken spot. So much so that when we have a hanckering for some fried chicken, the first thing out of our mouths is Mike's! If you haven't yet, CHECK IT OUT!!! read more

I finally get the hype! This chicken spot easily gets 5 stars from me. I really enjoyed the crunchiness of the chicken and the subtle spice. It was definitely the star of the show.

It was pretty busy when I visited but didn't take too long to get the food, I was able to place my order at a kiosk to avoid waiting in line so that was convenient. I'll be back here soon! read more

If you go during a busy time and weekend, expect to wait awhile because it does get really packed. Worth checking out though and would want to come back when I'm craving fried chicken!

I absolutely LOVE this place! Why am I just finding out about it! First I must say, place your order online for pick-up! The site is very easy to use and they cook the chicken right when you order! So takes about 20+ minutes! Nothing is sitting out! Which is awesome! My favorite is the 3 piece dark! 2 thighs and 1 leg, spicy - with the pickle and biscuit! All their sauces are amazing! Since then I've tried their tenders and breast just for kicks and it was super good as well! - always will order the dark however! They have a ton of sides that are delicious! I love the beans and slaw - needing to try the mac next! Great for dinning in as well!!!! The best thing about their chicken is the first bite! I'm not sure how the chicken makes that loud crunch, but it makes my heart melt! Love the lady that greets me each time I come in! She lights up with joy and gives the best service! I can't wait to come in this week! - for sure I will be here once a week! - read more

The best fried chicken I ever had! I got the 3 piece dark with coleslaw and creamed corn as the side. The chicken looked nicely crisped and the first bite didn't disappoint. It was a super satisfying light crunch and the chicken was juicy and tender. I'm a bit picky with chicken skin but with this one, I wanted to eat all of it. The skin felt light and not overly greasy. I learned that the chicken is fried when you order it so there is a 20min wait but this is a guarantee that it will be freshly fried when you get it . The chicken was definitely the star of the show but the sides were not bad either. The corn was a good complement to the fried chicken and the coleslaw was pretty standard, albeit a bit peppery. read more

I came to the original location a few years ago and was absolutely blown away!! So naturally, today when I came to this location, my expectations were high, and unfortunately, maybe they were too high?? Don't get me wrong, the chicken was amazing, and the Mac and cheese was a creamy delightful treasure, but that's pretty much where it ended. The buffalo sauce tasted a bit off. The fries definitely weren't as fresh as they could've been. The biscuit was missing the sweet buttery glaze that blew me away at the other location. The chicken was obviously the star of the show here. It was made to order, VERY well-seasoned, super crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. So yeah, overall it was solid experience but definitely didn't meet the expectations that I had based on my original visit! My advice is to go to the original location if you're able to! read more

Their chicken is some of the absolute best for both bone in and tenders. I picked up an order for my roommate and I one rainy weekday night. I got the 2pc Dark (Leg + Thigh) $6.75 which comes with a biscuit and a few pickles as well as Mike's Sandwich $9.00, both with Mike's Sauce. The slaw on the sandwich makes it pretty tasty but the tenders on the sandwich seem much smaller than if you get the tender meal. The bone in chicken breading is so crispy and the meat is hot, juicy and tender, just delicious. The tenders are basically perfect from texture in crunch from the breading to ratio to the meat etc. I love the Mike's Sauce with the tenders, amazingly tasty! I must have gotten a bad batch previously cause the biscuit I got was addictingly good. It had a crunch on the outside but was fluffy and hot inside. I skip their sides which they may have improved but will gladly go anytime for their chicken as it is bomb! read more
