Best Takeout Restaurants and Food in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"Not all takeout fried chicken is the same. That greasy platter that’s so good in the restaurant doesn’t always hold up when you get it home, especially on a heavy traffic day. Mike’s has none of those issues. The extra crispy skin is good an hour later and still crispy on day two — which is as close to a miracle as fried chicken can get. The sides all hold up well, too, but the most long-lasting are the macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes. If you can make it home without eating the whole platter in your car, it’s guaranteed to still be finger-licking good. Both locations have a walk-up window for takeout orders, and those orders can be placed on its website." - Courtney E. Smith

I had heard a lot about Mike's so I had to try it. I tried the original for the first time just to get a taste of the recipe, (though I was advised to try the spicy.) It was okay. Definitely a different taste, but nothing extraordinary. It's worth a try though. I will definitely get the spicy next time. Mike's is definitely on the pricy side too. One of my favorite discoveries was the free, delicious lemon water at the counter. It's worth a trip by itself.

Saw this was rated the best Fried Chicken in Dallas. Definitely, lived up to the hype. Spicy Chicken was great, Mashed potatoes were great, and the corn was good. I do not recommend going at noon. Hard to find a parking spot and place is packed. Well worth the wait.

Well we saw an instagram for this and decided to try it out on my visit to Dallas and it did not disappoint!! Super reasonable prices and takes about 20min to make since it's fried fresh. We got it spicy and it had a good kick to it. Super crispy and juicy! Delicious! I opted for cream corn which I thought was great. The green beans were a little overcooked for me. The pictures others posted looked a little better. My aunt wanted to try mashed potatoes after we ordered so we had to pay the side price. If you add it when you originally ordered, it's only a couple of bucks. Biscuit was soft and fresh as well. Super pleased with chicken and will visit when I'm back in Dallas! Yum!

The spicy chicken is the best I've had! The sides I wish had more flavor to them. The cream corn and baked beans are good, it's just lacking a bit more flavor. The biscuit was good as well.

Mike's chicken was one of the best chicken tenders I've ever eaten. Always busy for a reason. Wow, how have I been sleeping on this place. Get extra Mike's sauce, you will want and need it. Great job folks...

Crispy juicy and meaty. Sides built with love. Prettt busy so be prepared to wait a couple minutes. Stick with the chicken breast and thigh. wings can be skipped. Very fresh fried juicy chickens !🐓

Very juicy chicken with a thin, very crispy batter/skin. The sweet glazed biscuit was good too. Best enjoyed dining in or as takeout if you live nearby. The Mike sauce wasn’t my cup of tea. I wish they had some sauce samplers. Overall, the chicken is solid, and the service is great—the owner or manager even checks on customers. The setup has booths along the side, counter seating up front, and communal tables in the middle. We arrived around 2 or 3 p.m. on a Saturday, and it was packed with no tables available. Expecting about a 20-minute wait, we ordered anyway. Luckily, a table opened up just before our food arrived. Some guests lingered after finishing, which was fine, but it made it a bit loud for conversation. By the time we wrapped up, the place had cleared out. I’d stop by if I’m in the area, but I wouldn’t drive over 20 minutes just for it. The crowd and noise took away from the experience, and it’s not ideal for takeout.

The chicken tenders are made with the perfect amount of spices. The service is good, preparation is fast and the sides also taste great! The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the cost does not match the value of the meal. This meal here is $20. It’s great chicken just not great enough to pay $20 for it.

Was looking for "the best fried chicken in Dallas" and this before-unknown-to-me "Mike's" kept reappearing. Already very familiar (and happy) with Babes, it was narrowed down to Mike's and Slow Bone. Mostly because Mike's on Forest Lane seemed to have easier parking than either Slow Bone or Mike's on Maple and being a Saturday night, this location won! Even arriving early (5pm) the place was packed with only a couple tables open... but parking WAS a breeze. The 20 minute wait for the half chicken, biscuit, Mac & Cheese, and green beans was more than worth it! Piping hot... extra crunchy... and just the right amount of grease. The sides were fine but nothing mind-blowing. I was expecting more out of the Mac and Cheese since I fell for "Instagram" over reality. Ambiance is fine in a "glorified fast food joint" sort of way. Order and pickup at counter and bus your own table. Definitely worth a visit!

If you LOVE fried chicken the way I do? Do yourself a favor and checkout Mike's Chicken! Now I know what you're thinking. "Fried chicken is fried chicken, and this is just another fried chicken spot." But NOTHING can be further from the truth. Mike's Chicken puts their Vietnamese heritage into every crispy bite. Plus, the chicken is always made to order(with that being said, if you don't have 20-25 minutes to burn; order ahead). Ensuring that you consistently get fresh hot chicken every time! Since this was my first time ordering, I got the half chicken, which comes with 2 sides(we went with the mac n cheese and baked beans)and a biscuit. Just to broaden our backs a little more, we added coleslaw, mashed potatoes with gravy, and Mike's dipping sauce. The chicken was divine! Deep golden brown with flecks of black pepper embedded in the crust, this chicken was perfectly cooked. It was well seasoned, juicy, and had the most satisfying crunch ever! The baked beans were really good with a tangy and slightly sweet flavor (which I love), and the mashed potatoes were good as well. Now, the Mac n cheese and coleslaw was not what was up. The mac n cheese was surprisingly bland, and the coleslaw was as well( which hurt my poor little feelings). It was almost like they forgot to dress the coleslaw. The biscuit was fluffy and tasty, and the Mike's sauce paired well with chicken. Even though 2 of the sides we ordered were not a hit, Mike's Chicken is a solid chicken spot. So much so that when we have a hanckering for some fried chicken, the first thing out of our mouths is Mike's! If you haven't yet, CHECK IT OUT!!!

Great food and awesome service. Everything was crispy and fresh. Fries were crispy and hot but could use a little more seasoning . The biscuit was crunchy on the outside and buttery soft in the middle. Fried chicken had a nice thin crispy batter on the outside and was diabolically juicy. The noodles in the Mac and cheese were kinda overcooked but I was warned about that before so that's my bad tbh. Fries: 8/10 Chicken: 11/10 Mac: 7/10 Biscuit: 10/10

Yoo these chicken tendies slap so hard. I got the spicy batter (and I don't like super spicy) and it was the perfect amount of flavor and spice. Cream corn was delish, I think the mash potatoes could have used more gravy but overall it was yummy!

Holy cow! This may be the best fried chicken that I've ever had! Best in Texas fosho!! It's crispy! It's juicy! It's spicy! So much flavor and textures! They also have a large parking lot as well which was nice!

People, if you want great fried chicken and really good sides, come here! I can't believe I didn't see this new location open. I had been driving the extra way out of the way miles to go to the other location. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful, and understand the term "customer service" which is lacking these days at most restaurants. EASY to find, easy to park and be ready to wait on your order to be cooked! (None of that hours old fried chicken at this place!) I like both the spicy and the regular fried chicken. can't go wrong with either. My last order, the chicken was bursting with moisture. No dried out chicken here., The coleslaw is really good, the green beans are good, the beans are really good and I LOVE the corn. The restaurant is light and airy with a modern vibe. Makes piddling with your phone while waiting on your order kind of nice. It isn't the cheapest chicken in town, but it is really worth it!

I absolutely LOVE this place! Why am I just finding out about it! First I must say, place your order online for pick-up! The site is very easy to use and they cook the chicken right when you order! So takes about 20+ minutes! Nothing is sitting out! Which is awesome! My favorite is the 3 piece dark! 2 thighs and 1 leg, spicy - with the pickle and biscuit! All their sauces are amazing! Since then I've tried their tenders and breast just for kicks and it was super good as well! - always will order the dark however! They have a ton of sides that are delicious! I love the beans and slaw - needing to try the mac next! Great for dinning in as well!!!! The best thing about their chicken is the first bite! I'm not sure how the chicken makes that loud crunch, but it makes my heart melt! Love the lady that greets me each time I come in! She lights up with joy and gives the best service! I can't wait to come in this week! - for sure I will be here once a week! -

Let me say "greasy" chicken here you go! But it's Amazing chicken and the corn side and mashed potatoes was the best. The cookie wasn't my fav but I'm not a peanut butter lover and it was a PB choc cookie but I had to try it and glad I did but don't recommend it . Service was good and food was made to order so we did wait a bit but it was okay bc we sat down to eat dinner w group of friends and let me tell you the people never stopped coming in this place was super busy and popular! I mean the chicken speaks for it self - very good! Our fav was the spicy chicken dark. Next time I might try the tenders - will let you know!

I had been to the OG Mike's and was honestly kind of weary this location would be up to par. It absolutely was. The chicken was steaming hot and juicy. I tried the coleslaw, creamed corn, baked beans, and Mac and cheese. All were SO.GOOD. The mashed potatoes weren't worth the upgrade - they were bland and gummy. Remember if you come here, the chicken is made fresh to order, so it'll take ~20ish minutes to get your food.

Phenomenal fried chicken- I'm talking from Korean fried chicken to fried chicken from the South, I've had a lot. But Mike's chicken really blew it out of the ballpark for me. The star of the show- the chicken. incredibly juicy and tender and the batter is thin but has the best crunch factor. We got the spicy and it wasn't spicy but for how amazing the chicken is, I 100% forgive them. The biscuit is really good too, it's soft and buttery, not quite flaky, nor is it dry. The gruyere mac and cheese is creaaammy. Good food definitely takes patience, we got there 5 minutes after opening, there was already a load of orders before us and we waited about 30 minutes for our food. But if that's how they do it- fried to order with extra love, that's how I enjoy it. It's also such a bang for your buck. If I could eat a 10 pc bucket of this by myself, I so would.

This spot is so fire and I fear I could eat here everyday if I could! The mac n cheese is made with gruyere cheese. It's a different take from your regular cheddar cheese but it was very tasty. The creamed corn was super savory and seasoned. Now for what may be the best fried chicken I may have every had... they cook the chicken fresh and made to order. Place an order ahead or expect to wait a bit but it's well worth it. I ordered the spicy 3 pc dark meat plate with Mike's Sauce. If you like a little heat, order this or get it plain and ask for buffalo sauce. You can tell the chicken is of could quality, clean, seasoned and fried to utter perfection. The service I received was great and can't wait to satisfy my craving hopefully soon

Wow! I love that everyone's palettes are different! Thats life! But for mine, I just can't comprehend the hype. The crust of the chicken is good but the non spicy version had no flavor to me at all. It reminded me of a very plain honey kettles fried chicken in Culver city ( LA) CA! The biscuit definitely felt and tasted like KFC, the beans and mac were cool. I would need to try the spicy version as maybe thats where the flavor lies. The buffalo sauce I did not care for at all. The mikes sauce was a better version of cane's very disgusting cane sauce. Definitely underwhelming for me.

Mike's lives up to the hype! Their juicy, crunchy, and perfectly seasoned chicken is some of the best that I have ever had which is saying a lot having eaten my fair share in the South. There are a few tables inside to eat your chicken fresh but Mikes is more of a takeout joint. Need to get your laundry done? Their attached laundry mat is undergoing a makeover but still accessible. The price is also reasonable for the quality of chicken. I'm drooling as I write this. Go get some asap!

The skin was hella crispy and chicken comes out super hot! I put the mac and cheese on the crispy skin for a perfect bite. The skin was flavorful but the chicken could've had a little more flavor in my opinion. The biscuit looked so good but the glaze could've been a little sweeter too. The mac and cream corn were alright, nothing crazy. The true star is the chicken. Their buffalo sauce had a unique nutty flavor, which was really good. They never announced my order number so we had to ask about it after hearing later orders numbers announced. The restaurant itself is pretty clean and made for a good lunch date.

Do not be fooled by the unassuming exterior. Mike's fried chicken is the bomb. The tenders are outstanding - crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The three-piece dark meat fried chicken is also excellent. Super crispy exterior and quite literally dripping juicy on the inside. Takes about 15 to 20 minutes when you order at the counter. It's crowded, because it's good.

If you know you know but if you don't, Mike's Chicken is hands down the best fried chicken in DFW. This is the second location which has much better parking and more seating inside. Came here on a Friday afternoon and it was still busy with people taking out and some dining in. The ladies up front were friendly and patient with me while I was trying to figure out our order. Not sure when they changed the containers but they currently have a more eco-friendly paper based container. We ordered the 4-pc tenders with corn and mashed potatoes and two 3-pc dark meat with a thigh and two drumsticks with corn, fries, coleslaw and Mac and cheese. They fry to order so a lot of people call ahead or be prepared to wait 10-15 min for your food depending on how busy it is. Tenders were crunchy and juicy, great with Mike's Sauce (chipotle Mayo). The dark meat was so crispy and juicy, I almost started crying. It was seasoned well so honestly you don't really need the sauce, even though it comes with it. The fries are this beautiful crispy golden brown which are great for dipping in the sauces. My fav side though is the sweet corn. The Mac and cheese was ok, I wish it was more flavorful. But you're not coming here for that, you're here for the chicken. Highly recommend this location if you're coming with a group, there are larger tables in the middle, farm bench type style with a few booths along the side.

I got the chicken sandwich and fries and it was just okay. I didn't think it was too special. Fries tasted like frozen fries you get at the market. Service was okay, the lady working the counter was nice and patient with our large group. Tons of seating, tons of parking Would I be back? Im not sure - but my wife was obsessed with her leg&thigh meal so I know she will be dragging me back

I'm glad to have finally made it back to Mike's Chicken. This time at their new-er location off of Forest Ln. Hands down one of the best fried chicken in the metroplex and nothing can tell me otherwise. They still make their chicken fresh to order. You have a choice of spicy or regular, tenders or bone-in. Spicy fried chicken is always a way to go at Mike's Chicken IMO. It's counter service with a wait time of at least 15 minutes since they're cooking your chicken as you order. This 2nd location is much more closer to us, folks living north of 635. Still not as close as we would like but thankful as it is inching further north. They have more spacious dining area completed the original location right next to their laundromat. Either way, it's still the same awesome chicken and sides.

I had high expectations for this place, and it absolutely delivered. The space was small and cozy when we walked in. The menu was impressively large, which led to a lengthy deliberation with my partner on what to order. Once we finally decided on our dinner, we easily placed our order, guided by the cashier's helpful sauce recommendations. Although there was a wait, it only served to increase our appetite for the upcoming meal. I don't mind it at all, as I know it ensures the food will be extra fresh and delicious. They provided complimentary water cups, and the water was refreshingly cold. When the food arrived, it was piping hot, prompting us to wait a moment before diving in. The aroma was incredible, and the chicken's texture was perfect, a crunchy exterior and a juicy interior. The flavors burst in my mouth, and I couldn't resist continuously indulging until I couldn't eat anymore. The portion size was substantial, leaving me thinking, "Oh my god, I'm so full I can't move." I had to take a moment in the car to digest what I had just consumed. I absolutely loved it, and I'm definitely planning on coming back. Although I forgot the specific dish I ordered, I genuinely believe you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Hands down the best chicken in the area! I ordered a sandwich, tenders, 2 piece, fries and mac and cheese. Everything was amazing and the sauces were SO good! The food was fresh so there was about a 20 minute wait after you ordered but definitely worth it! The only down side was the service. They didn't greet us and it was not busy at all when we walked in. We had never been to Mike's before and let it be known when we got to the counter. They didn't acknowledge that or even try to offer any suggestions/customer favorites. They were very short and engaged in no conversation at all. They simply took our order and took our payment. We didn't feel very welcomed at all. Again, the food was phenomenal but we may try the other location on our next visit.

Parking: small parking lot in a shared plaza. Maybe 20 ish spots? There's a big pole in the middle of the parking lot making two of the spots a bit difficult Food: chicken strips were yummy and well breaded. Easily the best honey biscuit I've had too. It was too dry. My friends got the fried chicken, mash potatoes, fries, and gravy. They enjoyed it Service: you order at the front and wait for them to call your number to pick up your order. There's a sink in the front too so that's helpful in washing your hands quickly

PLEASE TRY IT! OMG! You will fall in love with Mike's Chicken! They are the best ever!!!!! We are so happy they are opening this store where near to us! YAY! We tried so many fried chicken place, no place can compare with Mike's! There will be no recommendation for y'all. Just order, you will love everything that you ordered :-) For the sides, we love Mac n cheese and their fries. So good!!! By the way, their honey biscuits is also so good. They made to order, which means all the food are fresh and tasty! The wait time will be around 20mins, but worth it!!!! The service is good and the store is pretty! There are many places to sit. The best fried chicken ever!!

Attentive staff moving at a decent pace. Plenty of seating. Conveniently located across from Medical City.Warning! Orders take forever! They say it's because they're cooked to order, but my guess is they may still need to work out some processes that could speed things up. Not sure if they accept call in orders but definitely look into it if you're crunched for time. Food was good. My fave was the Mac and cheese, had a little kick to it. Chicken had good flavor.

It doesn't even make sense how good this chicken is. I'm not sure if they're using actual witchcraft or what, but the CRISP on that yard pimp is otherworldly! The sides were nothing to write home about. Mike sauce is a 2/10. But who cares. Go for the chicken, stay for the chicken. I'll try the fries next time. Service was "normal". 20 minute wait, but I guess it's because they cook to order which I'm fine with. Place was clean, bright, and spacious.

Okay, let's just start here first the customer service is "AWESOME" when you walk in they greet you with a smile . Now for the friend chicken and chicken tenders 10 out of 10 always fresh and hot made to order. Nice size portions for the cost. The corn and cream potatoes with the biscuit is a must. Mac and cheese I'm not a fan rate it as a 4 greens beans a 1. That's the only reason I would give it 4 stars . Love this place go weekly ...

I'm a southerner and this is some of the best southern comfort food, that I have had in a long time. That fried chicken is wild. I love that this place feels very casual but clean and inviting. This place was decently busy on a Wednesday at 2PM. That is how you know it's good. I will definitely be back!

Only commentary I have is for my celiac disease pals. And the owners in terms of training staff. Obviously GF peeps know fried chicken is made GF by only some places so I didn't walk into Mike's with any expectation of that. I did expect however, to be treated like a human. There was no grilled chicken and the fries have flour on them. The only thing you can have in the whole place is green beans and lettuce, and possibly they sprinkle flour on that as well! Main issue is that the two staff members I talked with had terrible attitudes and were not open to answering my questions at all. It was a shameful experience.

The chicken and fries were extremely fresh. I got a 3 piece dark with fries and Mac n cheese. This comes with a biscuit and a dipping sauce, I chose ranch. You have to wait about 20-25 minutes for bone-in chicken since they make it fresh for you. It is worth the wait for piping hot & delicious fried chicken. I was very impressed with the biscuit as well. The mac n cheese was good but not amazing. I probably wouldn't get it again. The ranch was decent but I'd probably try a different sauce next time since it wasn't amazing.

After my last horrible visit at this Mike's Chicken location, I decided to go back and give it a 2nd chance after a year To my surprise, they changed their menu to include 2 sides with entrees now instead of 1 (or at least for my order which was 3 pc bone in dark meat) Service was better than last time for sure! But I will say the wait time still took a bit longer than the original location despite it being less busy. The chicken is impeccable as expected and I got it with creamy corn and coleslaw + Mike's Buffalo as my choice of sauce (my fav sauce). Creamy corn was wonderful but the coleslaw is a lot different from the OG location (less creamy, more dry, kinda like they forgot the mayo almost lol) I'm glad they improved their service and menu items to match the original place, definitely a better experience this time around!

This is the best chicken I've had in Dallas. Me and my brother went for the first time and as soon as we walked in we could tell it was going to be good because the place was packed. I can't wait to go again when I go back to Dallas

Love their fried chicken, it's their specialty. Unfortunately most of their sides are lacking in flavor and quality. Great price for the amount of food that you get.

I am not a fried chicken expert but I like this chicken place above Popeyes or KFC and it is about the same distance from my house. The thing we like about Mike's is the crispy hot chicken especially the wings and dark meat chicken. They have a good mix of sides included the cream corn, bake bean and cold slaw. The place itself is clean and bright. The service is prompt and respectful of its customers. I forgot to mention that they cook to order , so I found it best to do takeout.

Finally made it here. I need Mike's to come over here please. Simple place. Order at the counter. 15 minutes or so later, go get your food. I got the spicy 2 piece dark. Delicious. Crispy, spicy, and flavorful. Mashed potatoes were creamy and yum. Definitely coming back.

This chicken has a delicious flavor and is always freshly cooked to order. The biscuits are soft and all the sides are good. It can get busy, so it's best to order online.

I had ordered the breast and wing plate with a leg on the side on original batter. The food is prepared FRESH at order and not cooked in bulk or ahead of time. This does make your wait time approximately 20 to 30 minutes however i went with a friend so we didn't notice the wait too bad. We also could have ordered online to speed up the wait process. My order came with 2 sides, i got the corn and mac and cheese and a biscuit. The food, the food, THE FOOD!!!! not only is it gorgeous golden brown and perfect like you would see on television but it was so juicy and hot and full of flavor. The batter was so crispy and evenly coated. The corn was equally amazing. Love sweet cream corn and butter. Mac and cheese was spot on with a hint of smokey flavor and i just wish i would have gotten 2 biscuits because thats how awesome they were. Service was good and the place was clean. I would def go back and eat here again. Great spot.

After doing a bit of research on fried chicken places in the Dallas area I decided to give Mike's a try since it seemed to get very good reviews for the most part. I got there on a Saturday morning a few minutes after they opened and was third in line. It's a simple dining area, and was very clean which is appreciated. The service was good, at least as far as my order went. However, the two parties that were ahead of me in line had to wait forever to get their food. Not sure if it was because they had larger orders or what, but one party (three adults and two children) got their food about a half hour or so after they ordered it, and the other party (two adults and two children) still hadn't got their food when I finished eating mine and left the place about 45 minutes later. And during that 45 minutes quite a few other customers came in, ordered, and got their food. I wonder how long that first party had to wait before finally getting their meals. Puzzling ... The 4 piece tender meal is what I ordered, with the two sides being baked beans and french fries. It also comes with one biscuit. The total (with no drink) came out to a little over $14. About 15 minutes later my order was ready, and I picked up the food along with some ranch dressing and Mike's Sauce as the two dips for the chicken. The fries were good. Crunchy on the outside, hot on the inside, and not overly salted like fries can be at some fast food places. The baked beans were quite good. Very flavorful and went well with the chicken. And the chicken? It was also quite good. Not the best I've ever had, but the quality of the meat was excellent and juicy. The breading was a little thicker than I prefer, but at least it wasn't ridiculously over battered like another fast food's chicken was that I visited recently, and the size of the tenders were reasonable. The ranch dip was ok, pretty typical ranch dressing, and the Mike's dip had a nice flavor to it. The two cups were quite small though, and even though I used the dips sparingly on the 4 chicken tenders (and sometimes just ate the chicken with no dip) I ended up using every last drop of both dips l and wished I'd been allowed a bit more. Apparently you can order more but it's 50 cents each if you want to do that. The biscuit was not bad. Moist enough to keep from being too crumbly, it went well with the rest of the meal. Overall I found Mike's to be certainly a step above your typical fast food fried chicken places. At $14 for the meal with no drink I felt it was a little on the pricey side, but not overly so, especially considering the food is of good quality.

Eyes Eat First! Keep this one short. Location: Open parking lot, next to the car wash. Seating: More than enough seating. 2 things that stood out. Service: Service is fast, but there's a fine line of fast service & being rushed. I felt more of rush part in my opinion. I did appreciate the warning of how long the order would take since it's made to order. I don't mine that, as long as the food comes out good. Food: Ordered the Leg & Thigh with the fries. 2/5 Excited since I heard this was the place to go to for the chicken! Nothing really special about the chicken. It had a nice crisp to it, but weak on flavor. Mike's sauce was great! The biscuit was mid, kind of reminded me of a Jack in a Box biscuit with a little bit of gloss. Fries, they were alright as well. Nothing really to it. Overall: Kind of disappointed in the place despite all the hype. At least they had cold water, until the ice machine decided to take a break.

Potentially the best fried chicken I've ever had. It's a walk up window and I'm pretty sure they make the chicken for each order instead of pre preparing it, but it's really fast still. All the sides I've had are solid too but I like the fries best. Interior is very modern and clean. I come here all the time it's a great place.

I'm so excited they're close by me!!! They are just as good as the one in Dallas! Extremely fresh and has a nice crunch to the fried chicken. However, not sure if it was a one off, it took about 30 mins for our orders to come out. But the staff were extremely sweet. 10/10 recommend.

Newly opened location right off forest and 75. I'm no newcomer to Mike's as I usually go to the location off Maple. This locations quality and service is no different and the food was cooked fresh and customer service was helpful. The design of this place definitely has more open seating and space compared to the Maple location . I put some of my friends onto Mikes and they were pleasantly surprised by the crunchy goodness. 10/10 experience , love me some Mike's Chicken .

First off, they make food to order, meaning you shouldn't order at the counter if you're in a rush to be somewhere else. This pays dividends once you eat the food. Second, the windows of this establishment face a large hospital, as if to remind you that life is short and that if you're going to clog your arteries, the food better be good. With that said... Incredible fried chicken--thin crispy batter, well-seasoned, and made to order. Not reinventing the wheel here. I got "spicy" which was more like a hint of spicy but still enhanced the flavor. I ate it with the Mike's sauce which was great. 10/10 The green beans were also seasoned well with garlic and salt, and they were neither hard nor mushy. Nothing crazy here. 7.5/10 The Mac and cheese was a great take on a classic southern Mac and cheese. Nowadays though, new American restaurants are setting incredibly high bars for this side with their 5-cheese pull masterpieces. That bar is not met here. 7.5/10 The biscuit was fluffy, warm, and a very subtle sweetness from the glaze across the top. I can't imagine a better biscuit to serve this accompanying role to the rest of the meal. 10/10 Tl;dr This is a great spot on the South side of Forest Ln. I will eat it a lot but hopefully not enough to end up in the buildings across the street.

Freshly made chicken. Flavor is immediate. The crunch is beautiful. Very flavorful Fried chicken. Macaroni is very creamy. Fries are above average. Only complaint I have is the biscuit. A little dry but nice touch with honey on top. Expect a wait time if you get the bone in chicken because it is made fresh by order I believe. It's worth it though.
