It seems hot chicken is the latest craze. They're popping up everywhere. Simple concept - chicken tenders with your flavor of sauce on a bun or not, fries, pickles. The wife and I have tried several and like the food. So we were out the other day and saw Urban Bird HC. So in we went. Again, simple menu, but with some interesting combinations. We split a basket and kept it simple, 3 strips with 3 different sauces and fries. Oh, and a slice of bread on the bottom - that's important. The chicken tenders were huge. Just enough sauce so it wasn't over kill and messy. Really good crispy FFs. And remember that bread in the bottom, a slice of buttered Texas toast and it had soaked up all those flavors - now that was good. We really liked this place and definitely will come back. Gonna have to try those loaded fries. Later. read more

Craving for some fried chicken and around the corner was Urban Bird Hot Chicken. The staff was patient and courteous. Had their popular Tenders Basket in lemon zesty flavor, and was pretty disappointed with it. The tenders were definitely not jumbo size, and they were dry. The lemon zesty flavor didn't come through for me too. The toast was the only decent food in the basket. The store is pretty small and definitely not for big crowds. Parking is easily available surrounding the store. read more

First time here in Texas and I wanted something... Great and fast service food smells and taste amazing read more

I love this place, I love their chicken and waffles, the service can be great and ok sometimes and the ambiance is good.

Quick and convenient. Like that they had a half order available of the urban fries. My fries did not come with the pickles as advertised and were heavily over sauced but I still enjoyed it. Food here is a bit salty as each thing is seasoned (fries, chicken, sauce) so if you need to watch your sodium intake be mindful. read more

They won't take TX tax exempt- just FYI- I can't put tax on our purchase card and I had to cancel the order. I guess they didn't want us to use our money there- we went somewhere else. I've never had an issue at other restaurants/retail. read more

Because I did so bad on my cheat day I thought I should counter it with some protein (heh heh). I think There used to be one of these shops on Kirby. But I didn't get to try it before they closed shop. So I thought I'd give them a try while in the burbs. The girl at the counter was super nice. She seemed new but she was really helpful and smiled and was everything you'd want in an employee. The tenders were soft and tasty. I got the Nashville hot and it was medium spice level for us Asians. read more

Hot Chicken Sandwich still going strong, tried @urbanbirdhotchicken for the first time and was impressed, definitely would say it's one of the better hot chicken sandwich spots. we ordered the Sando (Nashville Hot spice level), Urban Fries and the Tender Basket. the Sando was perfect, the bun to chicken ratio, the flavor and slaw was all on point, also the Nashville Hot spice level was ideal for me, anything more and I would be able to handle it but you wouldn't enjoy the meal Also enjoyed the Urban Fries, Fries, Chopped up chicken tenders, Mac & Cheese drenched with sauce just can't go wrong with that. Richmond TX location is Halal read more

Urban bird turned out pretty good on my visit. We ordered the chicken sando and the tender and waffle meal. The sandwich was massive. It was a big, juicy chunky breast of chicken that came with all the fixings. The tenders were also very decent size and accompanied with a Belgian style crispy waffle. Once again, the tenders were good and flavorful. The waffle needed to be toasted a little bit more, as it was soft and tender. Perhaps, 90 more seconds would have done the job in the iron. Orders can be done via app or in person. I ordered thru the website. They also have.a reward program. There are enough seating inside and a decent amount of bar stools. I'll be back soon. read more

Urban Bird Hot Chicken - Sando sandwich. FF and waffle - Chicken Shop Near Me - Richmond, Texas

Tried 3 flavors (mild, spicy pickle, lemon pepper). Mild and spicy pickle were good, lemon pepper was very underwhelming - Couldn't really get a taste of seasoning. Fries were very mediocre, nothing special about them. read more

Walked in for my to go order and nobody greeted me. The 2 workers continued to converse in Spanish. Nobody else was at the front of the restaurant to help me. Had to stand there and wait for them to finish their conversation. Really rude and unprofessional. read more

I came here on a Sunday looking to try the chicken, but I was a bit disappointed. I got the 2 piece tenders basket and the Mexican corn to sub for the fries. I got Nashville Hot, but didnt think it was too spicy, nor flavorful, and it also tasted a bit sweet (which I am not a fan of). The corn was really disappointing. The bird sauce was also not anything special to me. Staff was nice though. Overall, it was ok. Maybe I'll try the other spices to see if it's better than Nashville Hot someday. read more

The food here is all right but overpriced for hot chicken. The bird pack gets the most value in terms of dollar, but the other options aren't worth it in my opinion. There's not enough chicken in each of the entree options to merit getting them. I would say it's the best halal hot chicken place in Richmond and the easiest one to go to if you live in Aliana, but the last time I went, they forgot all of our bird sauces. What's even the point of getting hot chicken, if we're not gonna get sauce with it. I like the seasoning on their fries. But I'm seriously reconsidering going again if we really don't get sauce with the chicken anymore. If you get the mac and cheese with hot cheeto side, they don't mix the mac and cheese with the hot cheeto 'powder', you have to do it yourself. The side is mid at best, the cup is also too small to easily mix it yourself. Not worth it, I like both of the fry options more if you're going to get them. read more

I had the dry rub bbq chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. I enjoyed it. Hubby didn't like his mild spicy hot chicken sandwich as much. They had strawberry lemonade, mango drinks that were good. Overall I enjoyed my dinner. Service was fast and friendly. read more

So I've only ordered from Urban through door dash, so not sure how the restaurant looks inside. The first time I ordered they forgot my sauce on the side, so the chicken sandwich was mid. The second time I ordered it with the sauce on, the sandwich was so much better. Sweet potato fries were also pretty good. They don't taste bad after reheating so that's a plus read more

Amazing food and great service! I ordered half fries with Mac and cheese and Nashville hot chicken

Good chicken spot mac was way better than expected, sadly the toast was very soggy and our chicken we ordered was way too spicy, we were told it wouldnt be spicy but once we got it the spice was 110% there. read more

Mac and Cheese was amazing, top tier. Chicken was super crispy. Pickles were refreshing. Bread was served underneath the chicken, so it got pretty soggy. Great value and polite service. read more

Hot chicken is popping up EVERYWHERE and unfortunately nothing about this place really stood out to make me return. The best part were the sauces, especially the Bird Sauce (probably a ketchup and mayo mix, but tasted great on the chicken). Feels like they're kind of the Cane's of hot chicken and how you feel about that establishment will likely drive how you feel about this. read more

Need to Work on improving the taste of food more, and also service we waited long time until some come ti help us we had to ask too many times read more

Service was amazing, food was delish, would recommend getting the loaded fries they are very much every bang for your buck. Ambiance is bright and lively. read more

Food is amazing!! Service is top tier!!! I love going here to stuff my face and enjoy juicy tender seasoned chicken.

There was a slight issue at first, but they quickly solved it and were very kind!! The food was very good and fresh. Definitely recommend.

Great service & food! It was very juicy & very large portions for the price. I was just very confused they didn't know if they were HALAL or not yet that's what they advertised and when I called they stated that but then when my sister called they said they weren't, so yeah that's not cool. Other then that I loved it! read more

Best food in the area it very good and has great Costmer service and very fresh and it just melts in your mouth I have to come back

Bread was not toasted on one side. The meat was red.... Overall a waste of my money do not come here It Is Pure Trash.

Racist workers cooking food!!!! Choose who ticket order they will fix. This was my second time going through this with this location ONLY! I waited 35 minutes while others whom came and placed orders AFTER me at the counter were given their food. Once I asked how much longer I was told 30 more min. Which in the process of that very moment a customer was handed their food who ordered 5 ppl behind me. Point proven!! Staff continued to stated that Uber eats gets their food differently which I totally understand and my issue was not about that. I literally sat and watched them ignore my ticket and choose who they wanted to cook for. I know it sounds crazy but it's my experience. Also the guy who works behind counter cooking the food will look up at me several times "eye contact" as if he's observing my patience!! Totally unacceptable!!! I will never go back here. Lastly a family and one other customer did observe this as well. The family ended up leaving before placing their order and the nice lady who came after me and got her food looked at me like...and shook her head in disbelief. We gave each other a smile as she walked out. But just knowing i wasn't the only one noticing it made me feel validated. Do better at this location all other establishments are wonderful and amazing customer service. Can't believe you all. Sad!!!! read more

the nashville mac is my go to order and it's phenomenal. the mix of nashville sauce and mac is such a good combo

The food was great and worth every penny! However, I believe some employee behavior should be addressed by the manager so that customers can enjoy their experience. While sitting and trying to enjoy lunch with my husband and daughter, one of the female employees left a back door open and left the entire restaurant, especially where we were sitting, hit with a cold breeze. Mind you it was 40 degrees outside. My husband finally had to get up and ask her to shut the door. This same employee and another female coworker did the same thing as they were leaving, this time leaving the front door open and sending another extremely cold breeze that hit all the customers in the dining area. Finally, one of these female employees was at one point sitting on the kitchen floor and chatting koudly with her coworkers. The young asian man at the register provided great service and stayed focused while his coworkers seemed to goof off. We'll be back unless this silly behavior happens again. Date of visit was 1/20/23 at approx 2-3 pm. read more
