    This chicken is the bomb.com! The last two times that I was in Dallas, I make this a required stop. The only thing that would make it better is if they 1) had hot sauce (which is lowkey crazy for a fried chicken spot not to have lol) and 2) actually had some koolaid prepared! I legit never drink koolaid so it would be like a special treat, ha!

    Since the 90's I've been a fan of Rudy's. It's been a little over a decade now since I've been back but today that nostalgic smell and taste took over my body. I had the 3 pc leg basket and it did not disappoint. Love a hot crispy chicken and French fries. The wait wasn't so bad and the service was southern and kind.

    The 2 legs that were tuck under those dehydrated fries!!!

    I came before and the chicken was amazing the wings at least. So I came back for another try so I got the 4 wings with fries again. I made it home started to eat the food which it was a wing on top but when I went for the next piece of chicken and pulled it out and it was as a leg. I checked the other chicken and it was another leg. I got 1 wing and 2 legs tuck under the fries I don't like legs and that's not what I paid for. I felt like that was real lazy of them and if it wasn't anymore wings they could have said so very disappointing. Fool me once shame on you I'm not giving 2 more tries.

    This place has been a favorite of mine for many years. Yes there is always a line and you will have to wait but it's more than worth the wait. Rudy's has some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. I usually order their chicken wings combo which comes with fries, pickles, & bread. Their seasoning is so good! They also have regular chicken, whole chickens, and chicken tenders. I recommend Rudy's Chicken but also advise anyone to pack their patience when going to the location.

    It's a Dallas staple. The prices are reasonable. The food is good. The lines are usually long unless you come super early. I wish the service was better but when I'm in the area I'll stop by. Also, this isn't a sit down restaurant. You can walk up and order at the window or wait in the drive thru line.

    Great chicken place. I used to frequent (as a paramedic in Dallas) the original Henderson's Chicken when Herman Henderson ran that at Thomas and Hall decades ago. I've tried both of his grandkids' places and was not impressed. This is much closer to that bit of heaven that Herman created (hey, it's still not as good as old man Henderson's chicken, but I suspect none ever will be). Everything we had here was great. Another patron encouraged us to be sure and get some Rudy's sauce, and we were glad we did. You should do that too. Will return next time I am in Dallas.

    So after getting home I come to the realization that they changed...what happened to the seasoning and fries.

Typically, I rate based on several visits to get an overall picture of the place, but I will bypass the rule if the experience was exceptional (#1). Mike's was downright excellent. I ate the food warm and I ate it cold, and I'm still thinking about it. I tried to save some time by ordering online and also bypass any potential lines. Thankfully, there were none when I arrived, but a very full house of happy eaters despite being well past primetime lunch hours. The staff was friendly in the front but fielding many orders at the same time. I missed the literal pick up window outside, but was happy to get a gander of what it looks like inside. There's plenty of seating for groups and the place seemed a lot cleaner than the divey narratives folks emphasized. Prices were not astronomical, as I paid $14 and $13 for an order of 4 tenders + 2 sides, as well as 2 wings and 2 sides. The tenders were nothing like a Raising Cane's with skimpy portions and high price tags, instead it was plump, crispy, and perfectly fried. The accompanying sauces (Mike's sauce + buffalo sauce) were excellent additions and complimented the crispy fries. I was extremely impressed with the mac & cheese and very flavorful, mashed potatoes and gravy. The wings were no different: soft exterior with a nice crunch, meaty chunks off the bone, and wasn't too greasy. While the green beans weren't the most memorable side, the creamy corn was strangely addicting. Next time, I'm ordering the sides separately and in a large. I can only hope the other locations are just as good and will make good effort to visit them all. It's a rare occasion to be this infatuated with a place, but I'm confident it will be the first on my return list when I'm back in Dallas again. ___________ (#1) Or exceptionally bad.

    Funny how I've never even heard of this place until tonight. I was starving, and my kitchen is…read morecurrently out of commission because I tried to shove a few pounds of dry, charcoal chicken breasts down the garbage disposal (I thought the blades would just crush them into protein powder or something? Bro, plumbing is confusing). Naturally, I had to ask AI where to get the absolute best fried chicken in Dallas, and it sent me here. Ordering online was super easy, though I wished the menu had pictures because I like to see what I'm getting. Exactly 20 minutes later, I got the text that it was ready. The parking lot is tiny. If you drive a big truck, be prepared to maneuver like a pro if it's packed. Inside was busy, but there was zero heavy grease smell lingering in the air. You could easily grab lunch here and go about your day without smelling like a literal fryer. Plus, the crowd was surprisingly chill. Nobody gave off that chaotic, sketch energy you get at a KFC or Wingstop where you feel like you have to lock your truck doors three times just to walk inside safely. It's a really calm environment, which is awesome if you hate loud crowds. Pickup took less than 5 minutes. After a 15-minute drive home, the chicken was still loud-crunchy and insanely crispy. Puts fast-food chains to absolute shame. Fair warning: my first drumstick was a massive sodium bomb that almost made me rage quit and leave a two star review. But I was so hungry, so a quick drink later, piece number two and on were absolute perfection: juicy, meaty, and flawlessly seasoned. So that first piece of chicken just was coated in not-fully-mixed-well seasoning batter or something like that. I am officially obsessed. Come September when bulking season hits, I'm literally going to live here.
