    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.

    We were told this was a MUST and I have to say...a must...No! It was crowded, drive-thru to the street so we just knew this was thee spot...but No! The employer taking the order had an attitude, we thought maybe he was having a bad work day so we brushed it off. The CHICKEN-EXTREMELY too much salty seasoning. It was crunchy tho. The fries were drenched with seasoning and I'm not commenting on that white bread at the bottom of the box. We had a large order so my daughter said she don't believe the chicken was clean because she had a feather and she was grossed by the veins. So my thoughts were...not a MUST, but if you just want some chicken I guess its alright. The sign where you take the order needs to be replaced, the building needs a fresh paint because its just old and if its that busy, they making funds, update the establishment.

    Chicken is bland at best. For the price that you pay, need to have more fries. I wouldn't go back

    The chicken is good hood chicken, but the service is horrible. It takes to long to just get your order taken. I will not be going back.

    Chicken just isn't great like it used to be. Flavor lacking and a bit undercooked; not worth the 40 minute wait.

    Chicken was dry and their fries have changed. Definitely not like it use to be! I miss the old Rudy's!

    I'm from Houston and everyone knows we know how to fry chicken, but they are definitely giving us a run for our money.

    The hype surrounding Mike's Chicken has been prevalent for years, and only until recently did I…read moredecide to give into it. 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.

    I really enjoyed trying out Mikes chicken for the first time. The chicken was so crispy on the…read moreoutside and had so much flavor on the inside. The spicy chicken is where it's at! All of the sides are really good too. Tip: Order online and don't call. I called 8 times trying to get an update on my online order and they didn't answer once. When I arrived they had everything ready and it was all correct though.
