Well we Are here their first week open, so we are keeping an open mind. We've been to Bojangles several times as we've lived in North Carolina where Bojangles are as common there as Popeyes is here. Bojangles is a fave for us.
They are slammed busy, inside and out in their double lane drive thru. I have to admit, how busy they are does surprise me, I mean, we like Bojangles, but it's not something that I would wait an extraordinary amount of time for. We chose to go in to dine, much better decision than the drive thru.
Again, keeping in mind this is their first week, I am not going to be overly critical. Opening a new restaurant is fraught with issues for every business. I'm just going to state a few things. The dining room is a hot mess. Trash on the floor and the tables that are empty are dirty. The staff is not at all welcoming or friendly. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and blame it on being overworked and stressed during their grand opening. We were just at the grand opening of a portillos in Willowbrook, that grand opening, the staff was friendly and welcoming and despite being even busier than this place, the dining room stayed in tip top shape. But back to Bo's.
We have learned that the Bo's here in Texas are not going to serve fried chicken like they do in NC. What the eff kinda BS is that? They are going to regret that decision for sure, because while we are here for breakfast today, and their breakfast is for the most part really good, the fried chicken is what would have made me a frequent customer. That's a damn shame. Back to our breakfast.
So we ordered a couple of combos. The sausage egg and cheese combo and then the steak sandwich combo. First , the combos are well priced. I think they were like $6.99 each. Definitely worth it for a sausage egg and cheese biscuit a drink and the potato rounds. they're called Bo rounds here. The other combo the steak biscuit, I wish I hadn't ordered. Definitely not a fan of their version of CFS. We are in texas, this little Patty that they call a steak is not going to fly here in texas. The biscuits are huge and good not dried out. I gave up on the steak sandwich about halfway through, definitely not worth it and tried my husband's sausage biscuit, I should have ordered that. The french fries were so so, maybe fresh they'd be okay but ours were old and cold. I do love the Bo rounds and I will definitely order those from now on. They are nice thick hash brown type potatoes and way better than their fries at this point. We also ordered a side of biscuits and gravy. That was definitely worth the $3.29 for a biscuit and gravy. Good sausage flavored gravy and again a nice big biscuit.
The tea was good. They did have a little mix up with the teas in the dining area, both were unsweetened despite one being marked as sweet tea. Again I will attribute that to being brand new, / grand opening issues. It was easy enough to fix I just went up to the counter and told them the issue and they gave me some sweet tea from the back. The sweet tea is good, being a company from the south they damn well better be and they were. So kudos there.
As we left there were a couple of guys out directing the drive-thru traffic which was definitely needed and they were nice and friendly and welcoming. They should be inside greeting guests instead of outside wasting their friendly attitude on people in cars. So good job to those guys.
Overall, I'd say wait a bit to go so you don't get frustrated with the lines and the wait time. Don't expect fried chicken, and don't order the steak biscuit. I am teetering between a 3 and a 4. I don't think a 4 is really deserved, but a 3 just doesn't seem enough. So it's A begrudging 4. I will go again and see if they are deserving of a 4 next time.
