    Deliciousness! When i learned of this Ricky's location I was looking forward to coming after having the Richardson location bookmarked for so long. We arrived about 30 minutes after they opened with the place practically to ourselves and we had plenty of time to review the menu and ask the cashier questions. I decided on the sando meal with the slaw on the side, heat level hot and my sis and I shared some fried pickles. Everything looked delectable when it came out. Starting with the fried pickles, these were the best fried pickles I've ever had they were super crispy, perfect pickle thickness and we got the hot seasoning on them which took them over the top! The ranch that came with the pickles was also very good. The chicken sandwich was so big, I was excited to tackle it and it also didn't disappoint. The chicken sandwich was very crispy, juicy, seasoned well and the hot seasoning was spicy but manageable and I liked the comeback sauce that comes on it. I asked a couple times while ordering for the slaw to be put on the side just in case I didn't like it but the slaw still ended up on my sandwich and an extra slaw was added to our ticket; unfortunately I didn't care for the taste of the slaw at all. The fries are crinkle cut and were fresh and delicious as well. Warning to the salt sensitive folk, everything here was highly seasoned but so delicious. Taking off a star for the slaw mix up and the table/napkin dispenser was dirty, but I can't wait to come back to try more of the menu!

    The hot chicken here is great and the heat levels are real. Xtra hot is really hot and I won't try what's hotter. They have seasoned fries or cheese curds, curds can be any level of heat. Only thing they should work on. Keeping the place clean and might want to get a milkshake machine.

    The sandwich was great. Super tender and packed with flavor. Easily a top three chicken sandwich I have had and I have tried many. Friendly staff and fast service. Great prices too. Keep it up guys.

    Nugget meal with vinegar slaw

    I really liked the food here. I was worried when I first ordered because they had a lot of chicken sitting under a warming light so I figured it would be old. It wasn't. The nuggets were well seasoned, juicy and fresh. The vinegar slaw was nothing special, but it did offset the spice from the chicken. My husband had the Mac and cheese and said it was good, not soggy and overcooked like most restaurants Mac and cheese. Prices were great. The spice level seemed to be a bit higher than when I order at Dave's or other similar places. This was medium and I probably should have tried mild. I deducted one star because meals don't come with a sauce, they are .50 each and the floor was sticky. Service was average. We would definitely eat there again.

    Menu.  Keeping it simple.

    Great chicken at a fair price. I tried 3 strips at one level below the hotest level. These were hot and i was warned when i purchased them. I ate them all, but it took a little time :) The staff was friendly and the restaurant was large and clean. I'd definitely go back the next time I'm in Plano.

    Great chicken and good flavor! Also got the Mac and cheese and it's so good! The wings are so huge!!

    I have heard so many things about Rickys fried chicken but unfortunately that wsnt the same for me. Service was great, I loved the ambiance and seating inside. But the oil they used that day was not fresh, the chicken tasted old and not fresh, my fries were so greasy from that nasty tasting oil. For some reason my wings tasted sweet, I hate sweet chicken if it isnt barbecue. I don't know what happened but after eating some of the chicken and fries I became so ill.... oh em gee! TMI: My stomach was so upset from the oil it was like I had a case of food poisoning. so I will not be back

    Mac and Cheese

    The service was friendly and fast. However, I think the speed is what led to the other issues. The chicken didn't have much flavor besides the spice on the outside. And it was chewy, tough, and rubbery. The comeback sauce was ok. There was a lot of food though. I only ate half but not sure if that was because of the quality or how much food it was. The Mac and cheese had good flavor and was cheesy. The disappointment here was that is was basically room temperature.

    Fried Pickles

    Probably the best hot chicken in Dallas. I really liked the spice blend and food came out fresh and fast!

    I ended up here for dinner because of their amazing teacher appreciation deal: an entire meal for free. So already that was a win for me, but the food was awesome! Flavor was delicious and heat was just right. I got the Sando (medium heat) with friend pickles. The medium heat has a little tingle but didn't have my mouth on fire. Service was quick and food came out hot and fresh. I will definitely be back!

    Chicken and waffles

    Decent chicken, pretty good prices, fast service. I was told that this particular location was not as good as others, but from what I had, the chicken was somewhat dry and a medium level was just chicken coated with raw spices. The waffles were also average... but I like the coated fries, the combo deals, and takeout service can be ordered online and collected pretty quick. Good place to grab some cheap and fast hot chicken, but definitely not one of the best.

    This place is on point every visit. The food is fresh, it never smells like old oil or stinky even with all the fried food selections. The open air kitchen is always organized and clean. Staff has a smile and willing to make your experience better. The only challenge we've had here is trying to put out the heat on some of our mouths and the slip and slide that is the bathroom! Mind your step.... Check out either Ricky's location, but this one has better seating options and closer to home for us to make the trek more often.... Also, don't sleep on those fireballs, they are amazing.

    Food was really good! I'd been to the Richardson location before, and happy this location is closer to home. We went one evening for dinner. When we arrived, there were a few people there but not too busy. By the time we finished, more people were flowing in. We ordered at the counter with the help of the worker some the rest of my family hadn't been there before. After ordering, we got our drinks and found a table. Food arrived shortly afterwards. Everyone enjoyed their food. I had the birds nest and it was tasty. My hubby loved that there we tv's inside and he could watch some football games. He'd definitely go back to watch games. Overall, good visit.

    WHAT A FIND!! Loved…read morethis place. We went on a Sunday night (almost at 9:30 PM), so we were not expecting anyone to be here, but the place was 60-70% full. Ambiance is perfect with K-Pop playing in the background. Lets talk about the main thing here - FOOD. We got the Kimchi Chicken Fries (KCF) and the 10 pc wings with Seoul Hot and BBQ Soy Garlic. Ok, KCF was AWESOME. My wife is not always a big Kimchi fan and I had to fight her on these pieces :D We basically almost were gonna lick the paper if there was no one around, so if you do go here, absolutely get this one. Next we got the 10 PC wings. These have to be some of the best fried chicken I have had in DFW area. Seoul Hot is an amazing flavor. Not spicy but just a nice sweet heat that feels amazing. BBQ Soy Garlic was great too, but next time we are getting 20 of just the Seoul Hot haha. We also got drinks - Wife got the highball which had a decent punch and I got the yogurt Soju which made sure that I was zoom zoom zoom-ed by the end (we were super tired that day too so it felt just good and right).

We decided to make things interesting and asked the waiter to bring us the spiciest dish on the menu just for fun. They brought out the spicy fried chicken wings, which I believe the waiter said were a level 5. They were VERY spicy, but surprisingly still tasty! I would not recommend trying unless you can truly handle extreme spice. I'd definitely come back.

With this new Plano location, I finally got to try it. The location is unassuming and the inside is just as much so. This is definitely a mom and pop place so don't expect a lot of fancy stuff but everything was clean. The host was quick to recognize us from the kitchen and since we were eating in, told us to get a sit wherever and they will bring a menu. Overall, they have many of the same offerings as the Dallas location but with it just opening they were out of some things and the soda machine was down. For food we ordered the cat fish, Mac n cheese, gumbo, and chicken fingers. Also got a cup of their kool-aid. The cat fish was the star. It was fresh and flaky, seasoned to perfection, and paired with their tartar sauce, was delicious. Highly recommend. The chicken fingers were good and not any major complaints just standard. Seasoned well and easily enjoyable. The Mac n Cheese was highly disappointing and can't recommend it. Might have been an off day but wasn't my style. The gumbo was good. Just your basic gumbo but you definitely need the hot sauce because it had no heat to it and I like mine a little more on the spicy side. Overall, I definitely recommend checking them out. They have some good offerings and glad to see a soul food style place in Plano.

There are so many options that you'll want to come back just to try more of them. The Korean fried chicken was cooked to perfection--crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor.
