Lea Jane's has been a longstanding vendor at Post. If you haven't been to the best food hall in Houston, run don't walk. It's an awesome place. Over the years, I've tried this hot chicken joint three or so times. My most recent visit happened on a Wednesday evening before a performance at Alley Theatre.
Ambiance (5/5): Since Lea James is a food stand at Post, the ambiance extends to the food hall itself. It's an awesome place to dine, drink, and hang out. But that's Post's aesthetic and not really Lea Jane's.
Service (4/5): Similar to the ambiance, the service isn't a big part of the experience. You order at the counter, pay, and they text you when your food is ready. Quick and painless.
Drinks (N/A): I didn't order any drinks from Lea Jane's on this visit.
Food (3/5): Hot chicken was all the rage a year or two ago. And it's still going strong. I sadly can only handle a little kick. I wish I could do more but hey, genetics. I went with the loaded fries which comes with a generous portion of shoestring fries, queso, bacon, and fried chicken bites. You choose your spice level for the chicken. I went with mild. For mild at a hot chicken joint, I expect just a little kick. Which I can handle. Unfortunately, the chicken here had no spice at all. It was just fried chicken. So that was a bit disappointing. Give me a little bit and I would have been satisfied. The chicken was also a bit lukewarm. It felt like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for a bit rather than fresh out the fryer.
With a little more attention to the details, my experience would have been a very good one. I'm a sucker for loaded fries. With that being said, I still enjoyed it. And I love POST. Try a variety of vendors when you visit, and after you're done eating your heart out, walk up the picturesque spiral stairs to the sky lawn. Once you're there, you'll see scenic views of downtown Houston.
