    Sweet and Sour Chicken
    Adonis Z.

    Disgusting, vile horse shyt. Rice was clearly not boiled correctly, it had way too much water and yellow when it was supposed to be brown rice. The chicken was not chicken. It was chewy and weird tasting my stomach hurts after one bite. The service was pretty nice. Now I'm going to Tiger Noodle House to spend double for good quality

    Do not eat here. They don't clean their vegetable. I ordered a fried rice and I found a worm on broccoli after I finished half of the rice . Very disgusting! Food tastes greasy, I wonder if they ever change their cooking oil.

    Timmy Chans is a hood classic. I used to live in this area back when I was a little girl and it always hits the spot. This isn't a trendy or upscale place. This isn't a place you'd take a first date. This is the kind of place you come with your friends to get your weekend to a start. You stop by Timmy's and get your grub on and head to your next stop either a liquor store or the gas station for drinks. Timmy Chans has become a part of a friend outing ritual of ours for years. The amount of people I've put on this place they should have a photo of me framed here. This place isn't in the nicest area so stick to the drive thru so you can just grab and go. I don't typically eat in. The main things you need here are wings (Buffalo specifically with extra sauce), fried biscuits, Eggrolls, and general joes of you are into mall style Chinese food and are craving it. Their wings are huge and they have generous portions here. The employees here have been working since I was a little girl. They are some of the most patient people I've ever met. Seriously some people can be so disrespectful and racist towards these workers and it's heart breaking. Support your local hood favorite. I only wish they'd bring back the Boudin Balls :(

    The food was delicious, I got the wing combo with 6 full wings and some delicious fried shrimp with rice. I would 100% return again

    I've been to many Timmy Chan's all over Houston and I have to say that although this location is looking kind of sketchy from the outside, the inside was surprisingly better looking than I expected. At least, it's a lot better looking than the Timmy Chan's that I frequent in the SW side of town on Bissonnet. The order counter has a partition glass (that I assume is bullet proof) which is a new for any Timmy Chan's that I've been to, but not surprising considering the area. If you've been to a Timmy Chan's before, then you know that their chicken wings are pretty awesome and this location is no exception. four piece wings + roll + rice will run you a little over $5 after tax which is super reasonable. Will definitely include TC's in my lunch rotation!

    The other day my co-worker and I were talking about fried chicken while eating at popeye's during their two piece tuesdays special. And we talked about why, can't you get a good cheap chicken meal other days of the week and we both were like we need to visit timmy chans! So when we were hungry today, we drove to the nearest location. I must say this is one of the cleanest locations I have ever visited. It is spotless in the dining area. The inside was actually quite cool. I had the wing and shrimp fried rice special. I added in one of their sweet kool-aids too. Their combo is so much food. I eat a lot and I could not finish it all. It comes with 6 full wings, so 12 buffalo wings. And a full container of shrimp fried rice. This will give me my Asian Soul Food fix!

    This is my cracked tooth

    This is not a good place. I was eating some chicken and my tooth cracked. Tried to contact the owners but was given the run-around. The lady at the drive through told me that my tooth was already cracked and that I needed a receipt ( use the cameras that y'all have). I'm still waiting on someone to contact me

    Jamaican Pon Di Road understood the assignment…read more The oxtail cheesesteak was . Tender, flavorful oxtail loaded onto the bread with melted cheese, peppers, and onions. Messy in exactly the way a cheesesteak is supposed to be. And the fries weren't just there taking up space either. Then came the jerk chicken egg rolls. Crispy on the outside, STUFFED on the inside, and full of jerk chicken and flavor. They definitely weren't stingy with the filling. Oxtail cheesesteak + jerk chicken egg rolls = chef's kiss. Houston did what needed to be done. Palate don't lie. ‍

    We were fiending for Caribbean eats after our trip to St Croix a few months ago and noticed this…read morespot was near where we lived. So we made the drive here on a Saturday in the Texas heat to check it out. Pulling up here, it's got the island themes with the Jamaican flags, island memorabilia, and afro-beats music blaring from the inside; felt like we were visiting one of the Caribbean restaurants on the islands. We placed an order for the jerk chicken eggrolls, the jamaican beef pattie, a jerk chicken platter w/ rice & peas & curry veggies, and a brown-stewed chicken with steamed cabbage and mac & cheese. About 9-10 minutes later, they called us for our food and we dug in. Everything was absolutely bursting with flavors and island spices. The jerk chicken eggrolls, both entrees, and the cabbage & curried veggies sides are definite must-orders. The chicken in all of those dishes are super tender and melt in your mouth with the spices and sauce. The Jamaican pattie is pretty good although it's the same that I've had at other spots. The rice & peas is a pretty big portion and you can taste the thyme and other spices in it. I didn't care for the mac & cheese but my fiance loved it; wasn't blown away by it. All the seating is outdoors with minimal indoor high seats so it may be best to get it to go. The beverages are island drinks such as the ocean wata (blueberry lemonade) and the Ting (grapefruit soda) which are popular island staples at the convenience stores. They pair great with whatever eats you're ordering. Other food items here that I need to try is the red snapper, the oxtail cheesesteak, and the curry goat. We'll definitely be back to try those! They also do catering as well so that may be another option we'll consider!

    Over the years and after a move or two the food has morphed slightly, but the yummy quality remains…read moresolid here. As of April 2026, it's probably the best hot chicken sandwich in town. We always order from the spicier side of menus, and there's no question when you get your food that they aren't playing around. The chicken is juicy, full of flavor, served on a perfect bun with cole slaw and a couple dill pickle slices. The lightly-battered, seasoned waffle fries are exactly what they should be. The woman who took our order was so nice it almost felt like a hug from your favorite aunt.

    I'm a little torn on how to rate this place. Mico's was one of the first hot chicken spots to hit…read moreHouston. I remember the hype this place got as they started out and moved from their original spot to this new spot on Shepard. Now that they have inside seating, I figured it was time to check them out. I was in the area at a local bar with friends, and a few friends ordered Mico's through DoorDash. It looked and smelled so good that I decided I had to have it that night, but at the restaurant. I pulled up to what looks a new building. They share a lot with other businesses but I was able to get a parking spot easily. The restaurant is spacious with lots of seating. They also have bar seating by the register. When I looked around, I noticed alot of people waiting on food. It was a mix of food delivery drivers as well as patrons that had ordered and waiting. There was a customer at the counter going off on the employees and I got to commend the young staff for keeping their cool. That being said, the young staff was friendly and trying their best, but they were drowning and the mood in the place was off. Items were forgotten. People were not getting their food in the order of when they ordered. Four parties ordered after me, with similar items and everyone got their orders before mine. I think I was forgotten and only after one of the staff noticed me waiting did they come and look at my receipt. Time from ordering to receiving my food was close to 40 minutes. This is a hot chicken place that is trying to be somewhat fancy. I was served my food on a nice plated plate. Nice touch, but it felt off for the food being served here. They also give utensils in cloth napkins. No paper towels or napkins in sight. Hot chicken is messy and the cloth napkins was not doing it for me. I ended up up knife and forking my sandwich to keep the messy hands from happening. They also serve their fountain drinks in small cups filled to the brim with us. A few swigs and my drink was almost gone. For a place serving spicy food, a soda fountain with refills or readily available water should be available and out front. Now to the good part. The food was outstanding. I ordered the Chicken Sandwich at their hottest level which also came with a side. I got the waffle fries. The sandwich was voted one of the best dishes in the state by Texas Monthly and I can see why. It was a hefty sandwich with a large chicken breast seasoned to perfection. I always love when their is a little hangover of the chicken outside of the bun. The chicken was crispy but juicy inside. The heat was there but totally bearable with the cooling component of the delicious slaw on top. I usually pick pickles off sandwiches, but the pickles here were good and the acidity added a pleasant touch to the sandwich. The waffle fries were also excellent. They were the battered and seasoned kind which I love. The food most definitely saved the overall experience on my visit here. I will say it is one of the better hot chickens I have had in Houston. Now if they go back to their roots and not try to be fancy and do better on their customer service, I can see this place sticking around for a long time. With my experience, I don't see myself hurrying back anytime soon.

We have a monthly event and I love to learn all about new businesses, since I'm new to the area. My husband placed our order and was so impressed by the hospitality of the gentleman that took his order. He added that he mentioned it was our first time trying the food and got several suggestions for ways to upgrade the waffles and wings, which was a hit for our family. We ordered: 1. Fish and waffles (upgrade: cookies and cream waffles) 10/10 2. Wings and waffles (upgrade: red velvet waffles & spicy lemon pepper wings with a sprinkle of buffalo seasoning for added heat) 10/10 3. Wings and waffles 10/10 The waffles were light and airy, the texture was delicate. They had the perfect balance of sweet and savory when paired with the breading of the wings. The chicken was juicy, well seasoned and hot! You could taste the freshness of all the ingredients, I was impressed. Highlights: The staff were professional and very welcoming and helpful. The menu was simple and straight to the point. The food was fresh and hot. The presentation of the food was consistent and very appealing. Overall, this is the standard of overall quality that all chicken and waffle establishments should strive to achieve.
