"Whether it's wings, tenders, or crisply fried drumsticks you crave, Mike's is an ideal choice. Order a four-piece chicken tender combo served with a selection of housemade dipping sauces (including a peanut butter-infused Buffalo sauce) or combine dark & white meat for a perfect on-the-bone combo. In addition to the Maple Ave. location, Mike’s also has spot on Forrest Lane in North Dallas." - Courtney E. Smith, Amy McCarthy

Little backstory: I just arrived from Jacksonville, FL having only eaten a fruit bar, biscotti cookies, a energy drink and a coffee. So to say I was hungry when I arrived would not only be accurate but slight understatement. I dont believe my gut grumbles swayed my thoughts on the food but want to be honest cause we're friends here. Now those thoughts. . . I had seen a few foodie videos regarding Mike's as "the best chicken" and being super crisp. While I can't speak to it being the best in Dallas, I will say it was CHWISP and pretty damn good! I ordered the 3 piece spicy dark with mac and green beans as a side, a jalapeno, a churro, a reeses cookie and went with the mike sauce and gravy. Washed down with a beer. As mentioned, the chicken had a solid crunch. I think they used purely a starch like corn or potato because its light and kind of has a stick to your teeth. Maybe sweet potato starch? Either way it retains the juiciness of the chicken and the spice on it was approachable, nothing anything crazy. The jalapeno gave more heat imo. The gruyere mac was creamy and righteous. The green beans were fresh and almost pickled? I cant quite put my finger on the almost twang but i liked them. Salt, pepper and simple. Delicious. The biscuit had a sweet top but wasnt anything to put into my pocket for a midnight bisc nib. A good presence and nice to dunk in their creamy white gravy. The mike sauce is your seemingly standard, creamy pickle juice kissed sauce. The churro was fresh and filled with cream. Classic churro that my tastepit appreciated. I went with the cookie because the cashier Han, mentioned just pulling them from the oven. This thing was gooey with a peanut cookie, chunks of reeses. Rich and righteous without a doubt. For the first place for me to hit in my short visit, Dallas is setting a nice tone for my gut. Would come back for sure.

Delicious Chicken! The sides were honestly a let down especially when compared to how amazing the chicken tasted. We were offered Mac n Cheese which wasn’t even on the menu. The Mac was basic at best even though it looked great. The creamed corn was good just left me wanting more from it. The mashed potatoes were good, but the chicken stole the show. This place makes everything once you order it, so be prepared to wait at least 15 mins if not more. It’s usually crowded for a good reason. Their prices are fair for Dallas. Staff were friendly. Overall if you love perfectly fried chicken with crispy skin and juicy inside then come give Mike’s a chance.

Solid fried chicken spot! Mike’s Chicken knows how to do fried chicken right—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and super fresh. The sides were legit tasty too (don’t skip the mac & cheese!). Great place to satisfy a comfort food craving. I’ll definitely be back for more!

Chicken was spicy and incredibly crispy! I really enjoyed the meal as the seasoning wasn’t overpowering and the heat was just right. The green beans were seasoned and tasty as well, but the Mac n Cheese needed some help. Overall solid chicken option. I will be returning over and over again❣️

Mike’s Chicken serves up some of the best fried chicken, perfectly crispy, golden-brown skin with a juicy, flavorful interior that hits the spot. The staff behind the counter were super friendly and welcoming. Be prepared for a short wait (about 20 minutes) since all the chicken is made to order, but trust me, it's worth it. I also tried the biscuit—flaky, buttery, and absolutely delicious. The mac and cheese was decent, though not the standout. Overall, Mike’s is definitely worth a visit if you’re craving quality fried chicken done right. Highly recommend!

Amazing Fried Chicken & Great Service! Mike’s Chicken is hands down one of the best spots for fried chicken! The chicken is always fresh, crispy, and perfectly seasoned—every bite is juicy and packed with flavor. The sides, especially the mac & cheese and mashed potatoes, complement the meal perfectly. Beyond the food, the service is top-notch. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and even when it’s busy, they keep things moving efficiently. The portions are generous, making it a great value for the quality you get. If you’re craving real, homestyle fried chicken, Mike’s Chicken is the place to go. Highly recommend!

First time customers, won't be our last.. The prices are so decent for the quantity servings. The chicken is so delicious and crispy whether spicy or regular! My second favorite is the Green beans and Mashed Potatoes!!! Then everything follows. I-say Mike is a 5star Chicken Spot..💯

The fried chicken was amazing! The recesses cookie was delicious and the chicken sandwich was good too. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the Mac and cheese. It was ok. Great service and good atmosphere

Their 3 piece dark is my go-to! The mashed potatoes are soo good and the mac is good too, I heard they changed the recipe and it used to be even better! The buffalo sauce has a good nutty flavor and spice. Their chicken stays crispy the whole meal! They also have free water cups so that's a plus! The service is good but it can get really busy so wait times vary. The atmosphere is very fast-paced and busy usually. Follow @aanthonyate on Instagram/TikTok for more eats in Dallas - Ft. Worth and abroad!

Mike's Chicken sandwich is my guilty pleasure. With a side of their house made ranch. Perfection. Great and hard working staff.

Food: 5 Decor: 2 Service: 3 Came here for lunch with a friend. Probably the best fried chicken I've ever had. 3 PC DARK 2 Legs + 1 Thigh or 2 Thighs + 1 Leg served with 2 sides, 1 biscuit, and 1 dipping sauce ~5/5. The chicken was amazing. Perfectly fried crispy on the outside and amazingly moist in the inside. Biscuit was also delicious, and I'm usually not into biscuits. The creamed corn was also good, although I thought the gravy for the mashed potatoes could have been better. Glad I don't live in Dallas anymore or I'd probably be coming here almost every week. Definitely one of my favorite spots in D-town.

Yelp
Mike's Chicken has the best spicy fried chicken hands down. I always get their dark meat spicy and it's ALWAYS so good and super crispy. The green beans, cream corn, and mashed potatoes are my favorite sides. Even if you get it to go, it's still AMAZINGGG. They also have a lot of sauces you can choose from and their buffalo sauce is unique compared to other places. I'm so glad they added online ordering because calling this place used to be impossible. Staff is super friendly. This location is the smaller one compared to their new location so I'd recommend getting it to go. There are seats inside though if you prefer eating there. 5/5

10/10 would come back again. The wait was exactly 25 mins from when we paid to when we picked up our order. Food- fresh as can be The spicy chicken had a little kick, not too spicy. The crust on the chicken was so crispy, reminded me of Korean fried chicken. The green beans were fantastic! They still had a crunch to them, and you can tell that they were fresh green beans, not canned ones. The baked beans and Mac and cheese were good, nothing to rave about. The spicy chicken sandwich with the Coleslaw was great, and the fries were super crispy. The dining area has very little airflow, so eating piping hot fried chicken in a hot room isn't very comfortable, but not a big deal. About $30 for two people.

I love good fried chicken and my name is Mike so to me it made sense to eat dinner here last night! Upon arriving I found it humorous that this restaurant is attached to a coin operated laundry and shares the same parking lot. Inside it's a counter service restaurant with a self serve fountain drink area with plenty of seating. I ordered a 3 piece dark meal of 2 thighs and one leg (cooked regular and not spicy) with sides of baked beans, sweet and sour coleslaw and a biscuit for $11.50. All the food is made to order and my meal took almost 20 minutes to prepare. This was a very good tasting meal. The chicken was easily a 4 and maybe better. Nice crust served hot and juicy. The baked beans were excellent (5). They surprised me being so good with a rich flavor. Finally the slaw was fresh tasting and served as a nice palate cleanser. I can't say I could taste the sweet and sour part but I still liked it. Finally the biscuit was very good too. I can see why Mike's is such a popular chicken shop here in Big D. Come here to get your fried chicken fix....and don't forget about those baked beans!

My friend told me to check this place out and bring him back some chicken to Houston. Five minutes before opening there were already 5 people lined up outside. I ordered 20 pieces of dark meat chicken. They told me it would take about 30 minutes and they would text me when my order was ready. I wanted to try a piece before making the drive back to Houston. Damnnnn.... So juicccccy and crispy. So HOT and tender. Stuck it in the air fryer and it was still good but not damnnnnn good as fresh out the fryer.

Mike's is a mainstay for us now. The chicken is quite literally the best we have had. The construction is complete at the Maple location, and there is plenty of seating now. Whether you get tenders or traditional fried chicken, you will not be disappointed. The crispiness and juiciness are magical.

Yelp
This is the BEST fried chicken I've had (even slightly better than Gus'). I've been twice to make sure the 1st visit wasn't a fluke. They cook all chicken made to order (expect to wait 15-20 min for food, but worth it). The skin is done to perfection and steam comes out when you bite in with the chicken moist & juicy. Sides are average but you come here for the friend chicken. Come hungry as portions are good sized and reasonably priced. Parking can be a pain, but more parking around the corner. I'll be back again and again, try it out.

I totally forgot I've been here years ago. But how could I forget? The chicken was so good here! The batter skin is done just right. It's located in a tiny parking lot. Next to a laundromat that I think they own as well. There is only outdoor seating here. You can order from their window. I got the two piece chicken with mashed potatoes and creamed corn. A great and filling meal. People love this spot and I can see why. A must visit for fried chicken fans. Best I've had in Dallas so far Recommendation: Fried chicken and creamed corn

Carissa L.

Yelp
Mike's chicken was good! Got the thigh & leg plate and added a tender to try them out too. It came with 2 sides and a biscuit for around $10.50 which I thought was a decent deal. The chicken is the crispiest I've had in Dallas. It had a nice flavor too. I liked the green beans but they were more solid when I added more salt and pepper to them. The fries and biscuit were cool too. Food came out in a timely manner although it was PACKED with the lunch crowd.

Been coming here for years! A lot of renovations done which is awesome. Took away from the small shop vibe haha (miss it but means they're doing well!) They have an amazing story, growing this restaurant and pride themselves on hot, fresh chicken to order. The wait is always worth it. Love Mike's Buffalo with its sweet, vinegar, spicy flavor. I usually get the 3 piece dark or the tenders, all very good! Hope you give it a try and hope Mike's keeps its reputation and top notch quality and service!

This place is it! Best fried chicken I have had in a long time! Super fresh and hot! Made to order. The seasoning is wow outstanding and the sides are okay...but I dont come there for the sides. Staff is friendly and the service is on point. I dont even bother with the fast food junk. Not for chicken anyway

Kendrick D.

Yelp
10/10 recommend! This place is jumping nonstop. The food is so fresh and the employees are so nice. That spicy chicken sandwich can get all of my money and it's worth more than what they charge for it. I was at a burger spot and I didn't find anything I liked on the menu and the owner of the burger spot recommended that I try Mike's. I knew that if another restaurant owner was willing to walk me outside and suggest another restaurant to me I had to go. Shoutout to these people for being so great at what they do. That chicken will sell itself, and they have others vouching. Gotta get this place whenever I'm in the city, making it tradition moving forward.

DALLAS, TX 75219 / FRIED CHICKEN / FRI 11-24-23 / TAKEOUT DINNER +You can tell they use good quality chicken, as each piece had very little to no blood and it did not taste like Jim Purdue. +Each piece of chicken was cooked to perfection; super juicy on the inside and insanely crispy crunch on the outside. +The 'spicy' has a nice little kick that's addicting and Mike's buffalo sauce is a nice take on 'hot' sauce. +The handwashing station is pretty thoughtful. -The sides left a lot to be desired. They upcharge for certain sides; i.e., mashed potatoes (which tasted like grocery store instant mashed potatoes). -I skipped ordering the fries because they looked like the frozen seasoned fries you get at Checkers. -The biscuits were meh and the chicken tenders were okay. -No loyalty rewards program or mobile app, but online ordering can be done via the Toast app. Mike's Chicken has the potential to be a regional super star, because the fried chicken is ridiculously good. Hopefully, they can continue to improve and further their success. Go check them out and give them some Yelp love y'all!

After multiple fried chicken tasting sessions from most of the popular chicken joints around Dallas, Mike's Chicken has come out on top. Both the bone-in and chicken fingers are well-seasoned and dripping with delicious juiciness with every bite. Great quality chicken with great technique and seasoning makes a dangerously delicious combo. Mike has mastered the balance between maximum crispiness with limited greasiness. If you are craving some superb fried chicken, Mike's has to be on your top list. The only downside is that they have their online ordering system. You can't place orders over the phone. If you go during rush hour or in person, you will be expected to wait up to 20-30 minutes depending on your order. All the orders are made to order hence the wait and the quality. The price is reasonable and the sides are alright. Their sauces are fantastic as well but it might cost extra. The physical store is on the smaller side and it's attached to a laundromat, perfect for when you make a mess after devouring all that fried deliciousness.

Everything was great until I went in to pick up my food. Allowed celebrity and males to be served first while I came to the counter first and never greeted me. Inside was packed but very organized. Food was great but I won't return because I do not support business that don't treat EVERYONE with respect.

Yelp
Best chicken in dallas - 10/10 My order: 4 pc Spicy Tender w/ creamy corn & baked beans + honey mustard & Mikes buffalo (great value for around 12$) I've been here for 10+ times and have never been disappointed with the quality. I bring all my friends here and they always love it. Takes about 15-20 minutes to get your order so I typically order online and pick it up as indoor seating is pretty limited and fills up fast. If you want to impress at party, cater Mikes! Parking is a bit tough but always worth. Super happy they opened up a new location with more indoor seating and better parking.

Came in here for lunch and man this place don't miss! The chicken comes out juicy in the inside and crispy on the outside. I do reckon that you place an order online to bypass the wait time because the chicken is made to order.

Location: B Food quality:C- Price: C Customer service: A 4pc tender dinner $13.00 Mac n Cheese $5.50 Extra gravy $1.00 for 1.5oz The tenders had a wonderful flavor, crispy, light, and juicy. The mashed potatoes were fluffy, creamy, and buttery. The mac n cheese and green beans were absolutely disgusting. Mac was overcooked, salty, and dry as a powder house. They need to remove that revamped version of Kraft Mac n cheese. Lastly, the green beans were unevenly cooked as some were soft, while others were crunchy. Nothing about this meal moved me to go back. Roni's pick

FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz **** WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR: one of the best fried chicken places in DFW. I believe it's Vietnamese owned too! THE VIBE: casual dining. When you see a place with metal tables you know it's gonna be good. PRICE: ~$15 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! **** Overall Rating: 11/10 - My mouth is watering just looking at these photos. Omg when I tell you this is one of the best meals I've ever had I'm not kidding. I took @tien.eats order recommendation and I will never look back. - There is not a touch of sogginess AT ALL in the fries or chicken. Me and @utibae_ were joking how they must've changed the oil every time they fry the chicken because it's THAT fresh and Omg I'm not exaggerating when I say this is one of the best meals I've ever had. - Every single side was phenomenal and full of flavor. The coleslaw was sliced so thinly so each piece had the coleslaw seasoning and sauce and the cabbage was so crispy and amazing too. - Creamed corn was WOW full of flavor and not too soft. Mac & cheese wasn't super special but it was yummy and creamy. THE FRIES!!! they were SO crispy and omg they were perfectly seasoned. THE HONEY GLAZED BISCUIT???? Literally jaw dropping. - Y'all go try the one on Maple Ave. just go try it!!!

Bruh, if you ever find a chicken shack next to a laundromat, GO THERE! They know what's up. I came here after one of my AirBNB guests raved about it. And now I can't get enough of this place! The Mac 'n Cheese is some of the best in Dallas and the spicy chicken tenders are so divine that I can no longer call myself a vegetarian. Get the Mike's Sauce and Mike's Buffalo. You'll thank me later. Oh, and maybe add an extra biscuit. Cuz Mike loves you and wants you to be happy.

Tien L.

Yelp
coming back to say this is still my fav fried chicken place in Dallas. Tenders and sandwiches are good but you HAVE to get the bone-in chicken for the full experience. My favorite- 3 piece dark meat (juiciest and crunchiest combo ever) with creamy corn (this sh*t cleanse my soul) and coleslaw (to balance out my palette with the fried and heavy food) And a sweet tea if I'm feeling extra :D lol Mikes buffalo is my sauce of choice, it has a hint of Asian peanut sauce in it. Like a tangy buffalo peanut sauce. Love. Even when they're jam packed busy, my orders always come out within 15 mins, 20 min tops. Friendly staff, quirky interior that's joint with a laundromat. Parking is a bit hectic but this is one of my fav places in DFW

This is starting to be my new all-time favorite chicken shop. Bush's chicken, step aside... you have some stiff competition. Yelp has voted this best chicken shop in Texas. There is some merit to it. First off, I'm rarely in this part of town, but I happened to be at cars and coffee event in the early morning so I stopped here for lunch. Even at 11:45am, there were already large orders coming through (some place ordered for a party of 40). My order took almost 15 minutes to make. It was well worth it because they just put in a fresh batch of chicken. I had the spicy breast and wing. This was juicy and probably would've been even better if I had eaten it on site. It held up even with a 30 min drive back, so this place passes the litmus test.

Yelp
I am so glad my friend told me to check this place out because wow, it's been a week & im still thinking about that chicken. Came here with my family of 9 & we found 2 booths to sit at. After looking over the menu, everyone ordered a variety of things. Me personally, I had to get the leg & thigh, with cream corn & coleslaw. It also came with a biscuit. 10/10 chicken, the batter was amazing. The crunch? WOW. The cream corn was also a 10/10. The slaw was okay, not really my favorite. I personally didn't go order so I can't speak on service but my family didn't mentioned anything either so I'm assuming it was okay. We also ordered the churro before we left & it was fresh & hot. It had a vanilla filling which was okay. Tons of parking but do keep in mind that the wait can take some time but trust me when I say it's totally worth it. Can't wait to visit Dallas again so I can come here.

Yelp
Mike's Chicken was a worthwhile visit, recommended by my kinfolk. I tried the three-piece meal with fries, a biscuit, and a drink. The chicken, made to order, had a nice, crispy skin, though it required a 20-25 minute wait. The fries were also crispy, but the biscuit was slightly overcooked. The environment was pleasant; according to my cousin, they have expanded the interior and played some enjoyable music.

Kim P.

Yelp
All I have to say is the hype is REAL! We picked some up to go on our way back home to Austin after rewatching hours of Mike Chen's YT videos he filmed in Dallas (who has nothing to do with Mike's Chicken except he really enjoyed it). Between my husband and me, we got three piece bone-in as well as the chicken fingers. Both were so good! The bone-in prices were crunchy but juicy, and chicken fingers were very well marinaded - all were so fresh. We were surprised that there are ample tables inside, despite how small it looks from the outside. Will definitely stop by for pick up whenever we're in town next!

Yelp
In a city full of good chicken places there is no place better than Mike's. The store on Maple is under renovation so we ordered online and picked up at the window. When you see folks standing in the parking lot eating chicken off the tailgate of their truck.... It's gotta be good. Everything we ordered was fantastic. Strips, dark meat combo, white meat combo, all the sides spot on. 2nd place is on Forest and both are great.

Marcus R.

Yelp
Friendly staff, quick service, and chicken that will change your life! Highly suggest the spicy tenders - not necessarily full of a kick, but just the right amount of flavor and pepper to make things interesting. Also highly recommend the fries and coleslaw - all so delicious!

I was looking for places to eat in Dallas since I was gonna be there for Memorial weekend and tour the city a little bit afterwards. Found this place cause of all the good reviews, and I'm so glad I stopped by! This location has a fairly small parking lot that is shared with a laundry mat, so get here early if possible. It's also a small dining area too, so make note of that. We saw most people actually get their orders as take out, but luckily there were still some tables available. You'll place your order at the counter then pick up whenever it's ready; it's made to order, so it maybe took about 20 minutes. We had ordered the 3 piece spicy fried chicken, which comes with 2 sides, 1 buttermilk biscuit, and a dipping sauce. Our sides were the creamy corn, coleslaw, and French fries. I had also ordered a medium Mac n cheese cause this was our first meal for the day, and we were starving! For our dipping sauce, which really wasn't necessary (more to this later), we got the honey mustard and chipotle mayo. Reason why you don't really need the dipping sauce is cause the chicken was so juicy on its own that you didn't need it. Hot, fresh, and just downright delicious, we were in absolute fried chicken heaven. The sides really just amplified the flavors; coleslaw was nice and tangy, and the fries were seasoned and fried just right. The Mac n cheese was ooey, gooey goodness, and the buttermilk biscuit was the cherry on top! Buttery and flaky all at once. If you are ever in the area, or even if you're not and have a hankering for fried chicken, please find your way here. You really have got to try it!

Mike's is the chicken restaurant you want all your DFW chicken restaurants to imitate. The spicy crust is hot but not overbearing. The meat is good. The sides are wonderful. You get the idea? You'll be gnawing at the chicken to get each shred off the bone and picking up each piece of crust crumb. Are they on par great fried chicken options in Tennessee and Louisiana? No, but they're great chicken for the Dallas area. I'd happily return, especially if the white meat dryness is overcome. The only food gripes I had was that the white meat was somewhat dry, however tasty. The restroom being around the building with an outdoor entrance was the only other inconvenience. Still, this is an essential chicken joint to try in the DFW area. Tenders and traditional fried chicken are offered in plates or by the piece. Chicken sandwiches are also an option. The biscuits are a must as are the sides in general. Staff is quiet but nice, and they're incredibly prompt at cleaning the tables. It's a fairly small restaurant so I'm sure seating needs to be available quickly.

Came back to Dallas and of course had to make it a stop. Brought some people with us too. THE BEST fried chicken. Perfectly juicy, and crispy.

Matthew W.

Just came back from New Orleans, so I wasn't sure expecting to be impressed by Dallas takeout fried chicken. However, upon hearing such rave recommendations of Mike's, I just had to try it, and was pleasantly surprised. Ordered the spicy chicken tenders (4 piece) and chicken thighs (3 piece) and I couldn't have made better choices. Crispy, juicy, fresh, and tender! All for the low price of $13 each. The orders included 2 sides and a biscuit, making them incredible values. We even got an extra thigh (likely accidentally). The staff were very friendly and the food was relatively fast for the number of customers in the restaurant. I'm taking any new visitors to Dallas here and I'll be a repeat customer myself soon! Would definitely recommend this place and I can see why everyone loves it here.

Really amazing chicken tenders in dallas! Taste very fresh compared to other tenders.

Found this gem thanks to the 'Hot & New' feature on Yelp, and I'd say this is definitely a hot spot! Food is made to order, so it does involve a little bit of waiting time, but it's worth it. We arrived a minute before opening, and there were already people waiting in their cars. The place only got busier the whole time we were there. There's plenty of seating so it looks like it would be accommodating for solo dining or larger groups. The sides were great, and the chicken is chicken I'd come back for! It was crunchy and delicious. The spicy one had a bit of a kick, but is still very much recommended. Check this spot out if you're in the area! Oh, you can place your pick up order online as well.

Mikes chicken is a small shop but man it's so worth it. The chicken is extremely tender and don't sleep on their Mac n cheese. The pricing here is ridiculously cheap for what you get and I think its way better than raising canes. It was so good I bought an extra box to eat the next day! Check this place out if you want some cheap heavy food!

I'm a fan. I love chicken tenders and these didn't disappoint. I got the spicy which was just enough spicy to leave a little tingle in my mouth without making me gasp for air. Now let's talk about the biscuit.... Chefs kiss. The Mac and cheese was good not great, overall good experience and I will be returning.

I come here all the time. Today I came and waited 30 minutes for my order. When I got my order, my sides were hot but my chicken was warm (on the cold) side. I had 2 wings. I thought maybe the thick skin made it feel warm so I broke the wing open and the meat was warm as well. I didn't EAT the chicken because it was cold to the touch. I went to the register to let them know my chicken wasn't "made to order" like the sign says because it was cold. They came back and said they were only "warming up" ONE WING. Excuse me? Warming up? I waited 30 MINUTES!!! The lady said the manager said to give me ONE hot wing since the other one was broken. I asked for the manager and she told me the manager wasn't in. I'll will never come back and I've been coming for YEARS.

Mike's is good! This was my first time and I split the half chicken with a friend. Service is great- the place isn't big but they have a solid flow that gets you in and out. We only waited about 15 mins for food. We chose the spicy chicken with baked beans and fries. It also comes with a biscuit and pickles. The chicken has a unique crunch and it's well seasoned. The spice sneaks up on you but it's not too much. The beans are spicy and they have pork in them. And the biscuit was buttery, moist and delicious.

Best fried chicken ever. Full stop. Seriously. Do not leave Dallas without trying this place. The chicken is crispy, hot and juicy (and spicy if you get it as such!!). It's hard to explain how good it is, just go try it. Keep in mind it's all made fresh to order so you may need to wait 15min after you order. Get yourself a thigh and drumstick plate and don't forget to try their tenders either. Best fried chicken, and best tenders. The mikes sauce is fantastic. Their buffalo sauce is a bit on the tangy/sweet side for my liking. Mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese are great though I would really just focus on the chicken. Omg and their biscuit. To die. This will now be on my must have list whenever I visit Dallas, alongside Koryo Kalbi and Taiwan Cafe.

Always consistent with their food. Best fried chicken in Dallas! I love their creamed corn and Mac and cheese! Their chicken tenders are always juicy and flavorful.

Wanted to try something new, something different from the normal tenders I get at different places. I was a bit disappointed on why the mash potatoes were an upcharge..they were good but not something that should've been an extra charge. Tender were HUGE! My only complaint about them is they were a bit greasy but they did have a good taste.

Tasty chicken. Takes a little longer but worth the wait. Don't let the fact that it appears to be a hole in the wall to discourage you from giving Mike's a good try. Your taste buds will thank you.

who knew one of the best chicken places in the DFW area would be a little area next to a laundromat? The food feeds your eyes and your stomach. While the building and parking lot may be small and quaint, the service, ambiance and FOOD are 10/10. They make you feel at home as soon as you step in the door and the decor is a nice cozy feel. I went a little after "dinner time" and the place was chill and quiet. The food was made to order and I'm sure they have perfected every item on their menu because everything tasted like perfection. The tenders had a nice light, crispy outer layer with a very juicy, tender, flavorful piece of meat inside. The fries were perfectly cooked, not too soggy or well done, and the creamy corn was not too sweet or creamy, but just right. Also, comes with your choice of homemade dipping sauce which is not needed but definitely complements the chicken perfectly. I got the buffalo sauce , which was recommended, and it was a very delicious sauce if you like the buffalo sauce flavor. Not to mention, the price was very well worth and I was contemplating going to order seconds. I tried some of my friends bone-in chicken, and it was just as good, if not better as it had me wanting to get some breast and wings as well. Just as juicy and flavorful with a crispy outer shell. I need to go back and try the dark meat, and all the bone-in chicken after getting just a taste. You have to come here and enjoy this delicious chicken. Worth the price, drive and wait.

The chicken was good. Great flavor, nice and crispy. I didn't really enjoy the sides. The Mac n cheese was flavorless and the coleslaw was basic. I probably wouldn't return. Decent service.

The fried chicken has good seasoning but VERY OILY. We ordered family 10pc non spicy and 3pc spicy. They looked the EXACT same. When we told them. They just said yea! The big box doesn't have spice on it. And the 3pc does. It did not. But we found the large box was a bit spicy too. I did not find my 3pc spicy chx hot at all. Popeyes is spicier and better for sure ! Creamy corn was good. Mashed potato bland. Fries okay. Coleslaw basic. The gave me the wrong order and almost looked annoyed they had to fix it. I even showed the receipt and they couldn't deny it. Def go somewhere else for spice. For the price it was not worth it. And service was terrible here. Parking lot is tiny. The bathroom is on the other side of the laundry mat. Overall not worth our dinner here.
