"This Southern fried chicken restaurant at The Shops at Willow Bend is a buzzy, family-friendly brunch spot where kids can play in the outdoor courtyard when they get too wiggly. The pickle-brined chicken is everywhere on the menu: We love it packed between buttermilk biscuits and topped with pepper jelly and honey butter in the Whistle Britches Sandwich. For a lighter lunchtime option, we go for the fried green tomato BLT, with thick cornmeal-dusted hot house tomatoes and a hefty spread of pimento cheese. And what’s a good brunch without a good cocktail? The Cantaloupe Frose takes like summer for grown-ups, and the Killa Bee, with gin, strawberry, and orange blossom honey, will have you quoting Steel Magnolias." - erin booke
"Chef Jeff Bekavac noted he was saddened by its closure and added that he expects Omar to come back to that space with "something really cool." - Courtney E. Smith
"This chicken shack from chef Omar Flores has earned a loyal crowd of regulars, and for good reason. The birds here are brined in pickle juice and covered in a crispy batter, available on the bone or in ridiculously good chicken sandwiches. Try the Hot Dang, Flores’ take on Nashville-style hot chicken." - Courtney E. Smith
"For those who think fried chicken and the Fourth of July are the best combination, great news: Whistle Britches in North Dallas is celebrating its seventh anniversary with $7 specials July 1 through the 4th that will be announced that week." - Courtney E. Smith
"Hit this fried chicken favorite on the weekends for brunch, when the “WB” bloody mary is served. Spiked with Tito’s vodka, freshly made mary mix, and lime, this bloody mary is garnished with veggies, a fried chicken wing, and a hard-boiled egg." - Amy McCarthy
