The service was fast and ok. We arrived at peak lunch hour and they were serving and taking orders and moving quick. The price is ok and the place is clean but the tenders were just ok. They were small and not very breaded. Not terrible and not amazing. They were good. read more

Tenders - Big Daddy! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Huntsville, Alabama

This place has great customer service and great food, 10/10 when it comes to fast food chicken.

(3.5 stars. This ain't fine dining, folks, but you'll enjoy your food!) I lived in HSV for 15 yrs and never went to tenders; I have no idea why. But I finally went the other day while visiting town! I was first super confused by the prices; I thought the menu was full of typos. Really great prices here! These are the kind of chicken tenders I really enjoy; not too bread, juicy inside, crunchy outside, and piping hot (temp, not spice). I like to hear that crunch when I bite, but I don't want the roof of my mouth to be all bloody when I'm finished eating. Tenders has a great fried tender. Their wings are good as well. I got mine with honey gold sauce. The fries were fresh and not lumpy or soggy. The Texas toast is either made with crack cocaine or fashioned by the angel Gabriel....either way, it's delicious for no reason. I typically skip on the random slices of white bread that come at places like this, but this Texas toast??? It's thick, buttery, golden brown. Yum! I also ordered an apple turnover because, why not? Gooey inside, but you'll kill your taste buds if you're too excited so be careful! I recommend either not eating it right away or splitting it in half so the steam in the middle can waft out of it. I'll definitely return! read more

20 piece wings for over $30 bucks. No thank you. I walk into the and it was not clean. No one greeted me for a minute or two and I was the only customer there. read more

I love them way more than Zaxby's! Everything always so fresh and hot. I'm in love with their honey gold sauce, I put it on everything . Only thing I don't like is that the drinks are sold separately. read more

I always enjoy the customer service at this tenders location. They are always super friendly and nice.

Customer service is always great. To begin with before coming here I was gonna go to Chick Fil A which is on the other side of the road, but since I don't get full I came to try this place. And wow I don't regret it at all over here with the same price of getting a chicken burger you get 7 tenders with a Texas toast. Plus you get full. Moreover the the tenders are really tasty and also the Texas toast is very good. On the side they also give you some sauce which is very delicious with the tenders. Furthermore if you love chicken I recommend and trying out this place very affordable and good too. read more

Pretty tasty. The slaw here is sweet and reminds me of KFC slaw. The special sauce is actually quite similar to Raising Cane's. The bread was beautifully toasted buttery goodness. The tenders were juicy. I think it deserves 4 stars. It's not super cheap, but not expensive either. Atmosphere isn't great. It's clean for sure, but feels dated. read more

I grabbed lunch today at Tenders. Now this is not THAT Tenders, this is the chicken strip place. Tenders is similar to Zaxby's, Raising Cane's, and Cajun's. Tenders specializes in...wait for it...tenders...chicken tenders, that is. I ordered the Tenders Plate which is 4 chicken tenders, fries, slaw and Texas toast. I swapped the slaw for extra fries. My order was taken right away and the food was prepared and available in just a couple minutes. I had just enough time to get my sweet tea. The tenders were a little chewy, but the fries were very good. The dipping sauce was a little runny and not good as Zaxby's sauce. Tenders is located in the old Dunkin Donuts building and has plenty of seating. This is a local establishment and you will see policemen, paramedics, utility workers and other locals seated at lunch time. My ticket was $9.00 with no tip. I love supporting a local establishment when possible, but Zaxby's and Cajun's are better and cheaper. read more

Tenders - The Tenders Plate - Chicken Wings Near Me - Huntsville, Alabama

First of all, you come to tenders to get exactly that. Some deep fried perfectly breaded chicken tenders that have that perfect blend of seasoning and spices. If you are hungry, which I am guessing you are, get the Big Daddy Plate. It comes with six pieces of wonderful tenders, fries, toast, slaw, and don't forget about the homemade tenders sauce. The fries are just above par, crinkle cut, could be cooked a bit more crispy to my liking. That toast is buttered and grilled on the flat top so you get this flaky toasty outside with this super soft interior. The sauce, this homemade sauce is unbelievable. I want to take a wild assumption and say it is similar to Zax Sauce (think mayo, ketchup, hot sauce, and some spices) that turns into this extremely creamy wonderful concoction. I dip everything from tenders, to fries, to sopping up the reminder with my toast. Get there early, or you will experience a wait. read more

Fast service! Great food! My "go to" is the Tenders Snack. Perfect amount of food for lunchtime.

FIrst time earing here snd not impressed. The Chicken Tenders whete mote like Chicken fingers. The chiken was over cooked (dry and tough) and lacked seasoning. Thank god the sauce helped to cover up the taste. No clue as to why this place was so busy if this is what they serve read more

Tenders has always been a great place to stop in and get some of the best chicken tenders in the area. Perfectly breaded tenders, tasty seasonings, and perfectly fried. And to top that off the homemade tenders sauce is the perfect compliment to the tenders. There crinkle fries however are a little below par in my opinion. They are not the best I have had, but are not covered in salt like some places tend to do. The Texas toast that comes with the meal (such as the Tenders plate or the Big Daddy) is absolutely on point. Now one thing on their menu that I am disappointed with is there chicken wings. I had not tried them in a long time, but I remember them being pretty good. The last couple of time that I have ordered them they have been dry and not much flavor to them. Luckily they have some good wing sauces that improve them a little if you add it to them, my favorite being the honey gold sauce. However, you can't penalize them to much since there specialty is chicken tenders. Lastly, the service at the Wynn Drive location is always superb. They don't have servers and it's more a a fast Food type of restaurant, but it is always quick. I went in today for lunch and it was fairly busy and I had my food in under five minutes. read more

Not what it used to be. Quality and quantity are not worth the money. Tenders are now like nuggets and wings are obviously not fresh and flavor is absent. Too expensive to eat out without value or quality. Won't be back until I hear people say they improve. read more

Yum! I love tender so much! The staff is always very friendly and helpful whenever I visit. Their food is truly great and has amazing flavor. I'm normally not a fan of chicken because of chewy bits but this place never has chicken like that. They really have the best quality chicken in town. read more

This was my first time trying tenders in the employee was very rude.No thank you, no welcome,no hello..The food was very messy as well.

Kinda rude workers. I wasn't, they were. Like they were doing me a favor. $12 for 2 chicken tenders also....legit, no bs.

The drive thru is always busy, but that's because of the great tasting chicken they have inside! The food is consistently delicious and reasonably priced. The staff is always friendly and work the window as fast as they can push 'em out! Get your share of chicken fingers, after all, they don't use 'em! :) read more

Spoke to Blake the manager! Tenders policy is no refunds allowed without proof of the original receipt or food. Guess they had been closed due to Holiday and I ordered a salad @ drive-thru. The lettuce had gone bad on the bottom. It looked freezer burnt and cucumbers see-through like glass. Nasty smelling tomatoes and juice slushing around in bottom. What I did it wants to come back up! Maybe they inspect food after the holidays next time! Chica-fil-a across street will get all my business from now on! read more

Two stars rates this perfectly. Meh. I've had better. My coworker brings in the Big Daddy Plate often for lunch and it always looks SO good. It's also on the 100 Best Dishes to Try in Alabama brochure. So I went there and ordered exactly that, knowing it was too much food but couldn't order anything less than what had made me salivate before. I got there and the drive thru was wrapped around the building. I placed my order inside and was 11 orders behind the last one called. They were shooting out orders quickly. I couldn't help but think, "man this place must be good. " The Big Daddy Plate comes with 6 tenders, fries, slaw, toast, and 2 cups of their sauce. The fries are just plain crinkle cut. The breading on the tenders doesn't have much pizazz either, it really lacks in seasoning. I was hoping the sauce would dress the tenders and fries up to be pretty for my taste buds but I overestimated its potential. Sure the sauce is creamy and unique but not a lot of spices, I found myself trying to locate pepper flakes to scoop up. The slaw was pretty good but really runny, it actually had a good seasoning level to it. I'm glad I tried the infamous Big Daddy but I probably wouldn't go back. If you've ever had Guthrie's then this is a step down. Guthrie's has MUCH better slaw and sauce. read more

2 Stars for the service and the cold lobby, but 4 stars for the fingers! I think the service would have been quicker if the cooks would actually cook instead of playing around with the other workers in the kitchen. read more

Tenders - The Big Daddy!!! Pretty impressive and enough for sharing if you not greedy!!! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Huntsville, Alabama

Good and simple. The chicken tenders are awesome, along with their sauce. Their slaw is pretty good too. The toast is usually super good but every now and then I've gotten one that was a tad too "burnt" for my taste. Only con I have is the amount of employees. Usually when I go in there the person working the front counter is also working the drive-thru, so that's a bit annoying..mainly just because of the impatient people whining about having to wait an extra 2 minutes when they can clearly see that the employee is helping someone else. read more

Seems to be hit or miss. Have had a few times. The chicken itself is better for sure. However. They charge for water cups which seems wrong. They give out small portions of sides and or dressings and they sometimes hand you 3 chicken strips each the size of a quarter and sometimes they are normal sized. They taste fine and it seems like real chicken. If I ate meat I would probably go back read more

I am really shocked about this place. I ordered the Big Daddy and it's great! These chicken tenders, fries and dipping sauce beat Chik Fil A hands down! Great prices for quality food. read more

This place used to be great. As in they used to have the best chicken tenders around, by far. But something has changed, and definitely for the worse. Portion size has gone way down, the salad I ordered was tiny. Even worse, the chicken tenders are now small and extremely dry to the point of being barely edible. I hope they get back to their roots and bring back the old delicious tenders they used to make, but until then I will be taking my business across the street to Chick-fil-A. read more

So I use to go here for years and the tenders were always thick and juicy and the fry portion was healthy. Now I come here and the fries are barely covering the bottom, and the tenders seem like they crush them to be so skinny that the meat is way less than the breading on it so all you are really doing is making your mouth bleed on fried breading. I literally will never come here again after years. And the chicken was dry as hell. I use to come here all the time with my fiancé and this will be the last..... I get y'all are growing but don't change who you use to be... acting like this is a McDonald's.... ratchet place to eat read more

Absolute FRAUDS. I love the city of Huntsville and all it offers. This one instance where I wanted to try something more "organic", than the ordinary, but legendary Chick fil A. This place has all the looks and potential of a greasy spoon. Little did I know, I basically ordered a more expensive but cheaper quality Canes. I couldn't believe it...the sauce horrible, asked for ketchup- SIKE- and then I really only got 4 and a half tenders inside a 6 box. SMALL TENDERS AND THEY FRIES NOT SEASONED. The only reason they got a star was because, unlike Canes and Guthrie's, this place grills both sides of the toast- not bad. Please just go across the street to Chick Fil A until this place goes back to what they were 15+ years ago. read more

My family love Tenders. We go here just about every week. Their tenders are always tender and the tender sauce is perfect but the drive through wait is too long every time we go. But I would rather go here then Chik-a-fil any day, I hate waffle fries. read more

I can't believe I'm having to say this about what once was my favorite place for tenders. The price has increased but the quality has decreased. We eat here for lunch at least once a week and recently the best thing about my $7.17 snack is the fries and bread. The tenders have been consistently thin, dry and stringy. I can't justify paying that price for 2 dried up chicken tenders. Please take notice and make some changes, Tenders management. read more

If I amazing highs school kid this place is good. Friendly chatty staff. That's the high point. I would guess that most if not all the food is made off site!!! In a place like this you should be making all your own food, at least the fries. read more

Pretty good chicken joint this place it packed at lunch time. I compare them to Roosters in Athens, AL. The staff is friendly and on top of everything. I ordered the chicken fingers and they were hot and juicy. I will return to this restaurant when I am in the area and craving some chicken. read more

Yea!! This is what a tender place suppose to be like!! Only try this Tender location. The other location taste very different....

3 stars because they're inconsistent. The tenders are very very good if they're HOT. But any chicken tender loses its appeal real quickly once it becomes lukewarm. By the nature of their business Tenders needs to fry their tenders in big batches and throw them in a holding pan, which is OK if the turnover is at a maximum. It's hit or miss - sometimes you'll get them piping hot, other times piping lukewarm, as I did yesterday. I've eaten at Tenders many times over the years but always gotten tenders. Yesterday I made the mistake of trying their wings. Tiny, dry and lukewarm, they were frankly some of the worst I've ever had. The "XX hot" sauce was not that spicy and had a weird taste, overly sweet and vaguely bbq-ey. The fries are decent, the tenders sauce is very good, and the Texas toast is really good, so you can do OK at this place. However, there's better elsewhere. read more

A simple menu, friendly staff, clean setting and no-frills are the basics at Tenders. If you're looking for tenders that aren't smothered in thick batter but are freshly prepared and served with a smile, this is the place to go. I passed on the Texas toast but another customer raved about that and the fresh, hot fries. Maybe next time but for now I'm sticking with the tenders at Tenders. read more

Tried some tenders and wings on Friday night. After going through the reviews I was expecting some good stuff but honestly nothing great. Tenders were fine but the wings were not so good. I like my wings nice and crispy on the outside but these were not. read more
