Perfect Tender Hot Chicken - This is the Buff-a-loaded Fries - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Pretty good chicken-centric restaurant with a sports bar vibe. Plenty of easy parking, and plenty of space to spread out inside. Definitely a place to go grab beer with the boys. Service was alas a bit slow, especially considering I went on an off hour and there were only a couple people in the place. Also, if you're not up for a sports bar vibe the loud TVs can be a little overwhelming. I tried the chicken & waffle sando, which was quite good. Fries were hot and fresh and the waffles are tasty as heck. Fried chicken tenders were a little lukewarm, as if they'd been under the heat lamp. Definitely would come back if the mood struck me. Recommend! This place scores a 4 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either. read more

First of all this place is near UTSA. The food menu is not large but it's all about the yard bird. Let me tell you the portions are what you say for and it always good. The service is pretty decent they kinda use the pager to always let you know when your appetizers are ready. The drinks are refilled by you on the soda machine. The atmosphere is crazy but fun because of all the tvs and people. I have been there twice now and I have had a great time both visits. read more

Man, walking into this place transported me back to my college days. It was totally a place I could have seen myself eating regularly with friends. Nice sports bar vibe with plenty of blue/orange theme, plenty of room, and plenty of TVs. I walked in around 1:30p on Tuesday; the place was pretty empty...which I preferred. There was just one other active table. Ordered the two strip sandwich and fries. Ya know...it's tough these days to find somewhere that gives your moneys worth...but this joint definitely did. I'm fairly certain those two tenders were the largest I've ever seen. It made it practically impossible to eat the meal like an actual sandwich, I had to deconstruct and get creative, but it was so good. The fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy. I've found a lot places shorting people on fries...but this place didn't. They gave me plenty. The only thing I was a tad disappointed in, was the length of time it took to get my order. Especially because the place was empty. I can't imagine how long it would take when they're really busy... Overall, I'd definitely go back! read more

Perfect Tender Hot Chicken - Two strip sammie - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

It's definitely a yes all day! This chicken is right and tight! I think we ate there three times in a week! First my husband had the lemon pepper wings and waffles and I had the lemon pepper tenders! Mm mm mm! The flavor hit the flavor fan because my taste buds said you have to go back! The place was packed because it was Sunday and who doesn't love great chicken on a Sunday afternoon church? Or after chillin'? Or at a party? We want to try the golden chicken next because we gotta go up the heat flavor scale. Crispy, tender white meat on the tender bursts with sweet flavor in every bite. The churro waffle is okay but the real star to me is the chicken hands down. No extra sauce needed! Thank you Perfect Tender! The name says it all! read more

We saw this place on Texas Eats on KSAT and added it to our "need to try" list of restaurants. My daughter goes to UTSA and has an apartment right around the corner, so after a visit we swung in to give it a whirl. The place itself is unassuming and is in an unassuming shopping center. It very much has a sports bar vibe- TVs, high tables, and a bar where, presumably, you could order just a beer/drink. Food orders are taken at a walk up counter where you are given a pager and off you go to find a seat. We ordered a 3-piece chicken tenders meal (medium heat) that came with fries and a tea (we also ordered a couple of beers because you can't have spicy chicken tenders without beer???). We also ordered a giant mozzarella stick. Both were delicious! The medium was plenty spicy enough for us, but they did have 3 levels hotter than that for all of you that like a little pain in your life. The tender was well brined and nice and juicy! The batter had a good texture and was covered in a dry powder medium seasoning (not "sauced"). A very good chicken tender to be clear. We know the giant mozzarella stick was a novelty, but we had to try it. It had a pretty thick batter and the cheese on the inside was well heated and had a great "cheese pull". It was served with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. It did taste the same as little cheese sticks, hence my referral of the "novelty" of the size. I would try it again, but perhaps get the "hot Cheetos" version next time which comes covered in (presumably) crushed hot Cheetos. All in all, a very fun place to try! Not upset at our lunch choice at all- if in the area...check them out! read more

I was recommended to this place from my bf's friend! we love chicken tenders so we said hell yeah! decked out in UTSA colors, the environment is super sporty and very cool. Went on a rainy friday afternoon, we knew what we wanted to get prior. got the 3pc tender combo with fries and a drink. got ranch and honey mustard on the side. This is chicken tenders right here yall! absolutely delicious, no complaints! chips and queso were delicious, the chips were homemade. Great selection of beers and they had white claw so i was a happy camper. read more

Been here many times --- here chillin... great wings and love the fries!!! Always the staff is great (with a few exceptions of course) but the ones that count always come thru with flying colors! Quick to take my order with great recommendations!! The guys are always friendly and hustling. Only wish they had more adult beverages!! Otherwise it's my stop for chicken wings !$ read more

Whew, talk about hot! Can't imagine the last 2 levels of hot. Hot was just right, spicy but tolerable. Not a huge fan of the sauce, unless you like sweet, I'd recommend getting a side of ranch. Fries were just bland but chicken made up for it. Tried one of their mozzarella sticks and surprisingly it was pretty much cooked and cheesy all the way through. Soooo much cheese! Breading was very good. Haven't eaten here, have taken it to go both times but seems like a laid back kind of place. read more

First, the service was great! You go to the counter to put in your order. There is a large menu hanging and also pamplet menus. We ordered the Bird's Nest, 8 pc wing (garlic parm), 3 pc tender and Waffles and the Chicken & Waffle Sando. Let me tell you! That Sandwich was sooo big! All the portions were huge. The food was perfect...I'm not kidding y'all...PERFECT! I like my fries a little crunchy so they don't get soggy with the cheese and sauce on top. The bird's nest was ! It was pretty chill in the place. There is music playing with multiple tvs going. It wasn't rowdy or anything which I love since we had our 8 yr old with us. We will be coming back! Loved everything about this spot. P.S. The restrooms were clean clean. read more

This is a wonderful place for chicken! We started with the HUGE mozzarella stick (regular & hot cheeto) and then I had the chicken tenders wrap (the perfect sauce is just as described-perfect). My companion had the chicken & waffle sando. It had crispy & juicy chicken with a fluffy & flavor-filled waffle. The spice levels are spot on. The portion sizes were huge-in a good way. We had lots of leftovers. There are TV's lining the walls playing football today. They must have NFL Sunday ticket. Elena was so nice and informative about all the food. read more

My husband's coworker recommended this place so we decided to try it! It's a very casual sports "bar" but pretty family friendly in my opinion. We saw plenty of families with kids. They're known for their oversized mozzarella stick and perfect hot chicken tenders (hence the business name). However, they do also serve wings and other appetizers. My husband and I both order hot chicken tenders (medium hot). I had the 2 piece, he had the 3 piece combo. We also shared fried pickle spears and fried mushrooms. The chicken tender combo comes with a piece of Texas toast, crinkle fries, sauce, and drink. Overall food was good. The tenders were so moist and seasoning was good! Service was excellent! We even got a chance to talk to Chris, the manager. He's awesome! There's indoor and outdoor seating. So many tv.'s for sports (duh) lol and even some "arcade" (basketball) games!! Really fun ambiance, aesthetic and vibe! read more

The wings and tenders here are solid--crispy, flavorful, and definitely hit the spot. The price isn't bad either--$17.99 for an 8-piece wing order is reasonable for the quality. That said, there are quite a few limitations that take away from the experience. They don't allow mixing wing flavors, won't do all flats, and they don't even offer lemon pepper on the side. Just feels a little rigid for a wing spot. Still, the food is good and the service was friendly, which goes a long way. I'd come back, but I hope they open up the menu options a bit more in the future. read more

Our first visit was so fun and delicious! We failed to take any pictures because we were so hungry, but we ordered the app trio, chips and queso, extra fried pickles, churro waffles and Buffalo hot tenders, medium Buffalo wings, the snack tender wrap, and the tender salad. I think there were a few other things, but you get the idea that our group ordered a variety of items. Our highlights: the salad with the perfect sauce was an excellent lighter choice, the sweet churro waffle combined with the hot Buffalo seasoned tenders was a delicious combination, the fried pickles were outstanding with a curious coating that popped, and the dressed up snack wrap with added Cole slaw and multiple salad ingredients. Everything is made to order and super fresh. We ate at an off time so it wasn't packed when we got there but continued to get busier as the evening went on. Perfect place to watch sports with multiple TVs around the area and a ultra HUGE TV on one wall. The space inside is bright, super clean, and spacious. The staff is cheeky fun and all were friendly and eager to accommodate our many requests. Thanks Chris (and Ricky) for a great time. We'll definitely return, especially for sport events. read more

I immediately fell in love with this place and need to make a mental note to try the sandwich made with chicken and waffles, which sounds amazing. We had the giant mozzarella stick, and one of the loaded fries options. Awesome, not greasy or unpleasant, and the sauce was so good. The restaurant itself was spacious and clean and easygoing. The one slight complaint I have is that it was a little bit slow even during lunchtime when there were only one or two other customers, but otherwise, a great spot! read more

What I have tried I immensely enjoyed: the tenders with well-seasoned crinkly fries and the garlic parmesan wings with well-seasoned crinkle fries. UTSA Roadrunners fans will also appreciate the shared fandom expressed in the colors of the ordering counter and chairs therein and the font of the restaurant name. read more

I was briefly in San Antonio and wanted to try a local spot. My sister and I stopped by here. We came some time between lunch and dinner, so the crowd definitely was not there. That's a good thing. The place has the sports bar vibe going for it. It didn't take long to order and our food came over fairly quick. As for the food: - We had a HUGE cheese log for an appetizer, however it was a bit bland. - Did not try the marinara sauce because I don't care for it - Fries were a bit too salty - My chicken wings were dry - Chicken tenders were moist and seasoned well Overall, it was decently good. I'd probably come back and order the chicken tenders instead of the wings because they were delicious. read more

Chicken is very juicy, the cheese stick is super flavorful. Marina and buffalo sauce were delicious. Ordered the tenders with FAFO and Hot flavors. Unaware they were DRY rubs. Have never been a fan of dry rubs. They were hot but had the gritty dry rub feel. I ended up dipping them in the Buffalo sauce to add flavor, which did the trick. Had to sign a waiver to get the FAFO. Guess i should have read the paper, maybe thats where it stated it was a dry rub. Definitely get the cheese stick: its HUGE!!! Service was good, you have to order at the counter and go sit down and they bring the food out to you. Ill be back but as a Buffalonian, ill stick to actual wings and Buffalo sauce with blue cheese and my c&c on the side. read more

Perfect Tender Hot Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Place was very vibrant..... place was empty for being a Sunday night. This isn't a very family friendly place. Anyways on to the food, it was pretty good! I got the hot and it was perfectly hot and very spicy. The golden flavor which is plain was also pretty good. Chicken was juicy and had a good crunch. Fries were average but were also fried to perfection. The food was good I just don't see myself returning due to the price and ambience. I don't think 6 tenders some fries and two small drinks are worth nearly $50.... Over all the food was solid and if I was looking to get drunk and yell at a screen I'd come here again. read more

I haven't been to the brick & mortar but the food truck was pretty good. I will say that when I went to grab my food when it was ready, I was standing outside for a few minutes saying hello and putting my hands up for someone to see or hear me. I'm not upset, I enjoyed the food which is why I gave 4 stars but I just wish someone was at or by the window when I tried to pick up. It just took a bit for someone to come by the window. It felt a little embarrassing saying hello with my arms up for a bit. The truck is very high up. Probably the tallest in el Camino so I really don't mean to sound mean or needy here, I just suggest maybe putting out a mirror or camera and screens in the truck or something so people in the back of the truck can see if someone is at the window? read more

Listen--if you're craving hot, crispy, flavor-packed chicken that might just change your life a little... this is your sign. I tried the hot chicken and wow. It's spicy in the best kind of way--like, clears your sinuses and heals your childhood trauma kind of spicy. And don't even get me started on the Cheetos cheese sticks. Who had the audacity to invent these? Because I owe them a thank-you card and maybe a hug. Crunchy, melty, cheesy madness. 10/10 would order again. And again. The vibes are chill, the service is fast, and the food comes out hot and cooked perfectly tender (see what I did there?). If you haven't been yet, fix that immediately. This spot is dangerously addictive, and yes, I'm already plotting my next visit. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday. We started with the giant cheese stick. You can definitely share that with four or more people. It is cheesy and the crust is pretty tasty. I did try to order the fried pickles and the fried mushrooms, but they were out of them. I ended up sharing a half order of loaded fries. You get two options to choose from. We chose the one that had the queso. It comes with chunks of chicken tenders and you do get to choose a sauce to dip your tenders in. You can order a half order or a full order. The half order is good for two people. My friends got the chicken tenders and I know they seem pricey on the menu, but the serving size is huge. The tenders are huge. You can definitely share this dish. Our food did take 45 minutes to come out. Even though it took so long to get food, between our waitress and I believe the manager, we were being updated periodically . They have a full bar. Drinks are not too pricey. The beer prices are fair. I got a ranch water and it was perfect. Parking is available on site, but shared with the other businesses. They have inside and outside seating. Inside has some games. This may not have been a great weekend to go as the restaurant was recently in a popular social media site and maybe that's why they were out of food and slow. I will have to try them out once more. read more

Chef Cody and his team at Perfect Tender are absolutely raising the bar. The chicken tenders were by far the crispiest and juiciest I have ever had, cooked perfectly with incredible flavor in every bite. The mozzarella stick was massive, easily the biggest I have seen in Texas, and it completely lived up to the hype. The fried pickles, onion rings, and the Bird's Nest were just as impressive, all prepared with the same level of care and quality. To top it off, the Nutella and Pretzel Shake was phenomenal, rich and creamy with the perfect salty-sweet crunch. The atmosphere is just as enjoyable as the food. There is plenty of sports entertainment for fans, a great shuffle of music from pop to rock with a jukebox to spice up the setting, and even a fun two-hoop basketball game machine setup by the entrance. You do not just get great food here, you get portions that truly satisfy with flavors that put other chicken spots to shame. If you are looking for the best tenders, fried comfort food, and a lively spot to hang out, Perfect Tender should be at the top of your list. Highly recommend. read more

Food is great. However, the service is horrible. They all wear airpods so they don't have to acknowledge your questions or need for service. I overheard the staff trash talking a customer that complained about the staff getting her order wrong, rightfully so. My order was also mixed up with someone else's and I had to discuss with the other party who's food is who's. The food is the only thing that keeps me coming but the staff and service is putrid. They need to get off their phones. pay attention to customers. read more

I was really disappointed with my first visit. I took my wife to try this chicken spot she always talked to me about and we were both let down. The seasoning on the chicken tenders felt very gritty and had a bitter taste. The house sauce, lemonade, and giant mozzarella stick were the only items we enjoyed. We were also expecting a nicer environment due to all the hype on TikTok, but the table we sat at was covered in crumbs from a giant Cheeto mozzarella stick. read more

Place looked pretty cool and inviting. I was so excited to go in and try the huge mozzarella stick.

From what my friends experienced, while I was still waiting for my order, the spice level "hotter" on their chicken wrap was inedible. I took a little nibble to see why she was crying, big mistake, it was so unimaginably spicy to where you couldn't taste anything. It certainly didn't taste like any habanero I know. "Hotter" wasn't even the hottest level on the menu, it had me thinking they must've given her the "F.A.F.O" by mistake. She just took the fries to go and left the wrap, it's just hard to believe anyone would actually enjoy that. The employees didn't seem to have a sense of urgency when I informed them my main entree still wasn't ready, despite them reaffirming me it was on the way (when I picked up part of my order). A while had passed and it seemed like everyone around us had received their orders, so I asked again only to find out they had no plans of making it until I said something. I don't know if they had told me someone else must've taken it, just to not take accountability, but there needs to be a better system. A friend's buzzer didn't go off at all, but somehow managed to get their food. Whether they meant to or not, there was an underlying attitude from employees that just made me feel embarrassed to be put in this situation. I lost my appetite and asked to take the order to go (my friends also were ready to leave at this point). Overall the atmosphere and customer service is a really important aspect in making or breaking a place and it just didn't evoke any good feeling. read more

I don't recommend this place at all I've seen the Google reviews and it looks like the owner can't take a bad review he replies with so much hate and anger like bro get the message you messed up apologize and fix the problem if you hate customer service do something else Idk who the owner is but you need to have much better customer service I don't even want to know how you treat your employees food was ok it would have been great if the cashier "guy with a beard" would of been nicer and I'm guessing it's the owner since you treated us just like you reply on the Google reviews All I can say is take a chill pill and some customer service courses read more

Huge portions. Unique choices. Everything comes out freshly made not frozen. Above all, friendly service!

Great vibe and fantastic food. The crust on the chicken tender was crisp and tasty-- medium level had just the right amount of spice. Their "perfect sauce" was the prefer compliment to the spice on the chicken. We ordered the giant cheese stick Nashville style-- so good and it was enough for four of us!! My favorite part -- the customer service was exceptional!! Can't wait to come back here on game day. read more

Perfect Tender Hot Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Finally got around to trying this place and it was just ok. My favorite thing was the fried mushrooms. They're small mushrooms but the batter is nice and crispy and it comes with ranch, which is also a good flavor, not like a hidden valley ranch. I got a hot sandwich. Their hot is the same level of hot as competitors. There also was barely any sauce on my sandwich. So little that I wasn't sure that it came with sauce and I would have had to purchase extra sauce. The tenders were fat and juicy, but it was relatively dry like a chic fil a sandwich, just chicken and pickles. We also had the wrap which had so much sauce that it became soggy before it was even halfway finished and was kind of gross. The small portion of fries is a shareable size. The cashier left a side item off the order by mistake. I didn't bother bringing it up. All the TVs were showing just two games. I did not try the infamous cheese stick but I'm glad that I did try this spot. read more
