My first time trying Cowboy Chicken and it was surprisingly good, the twice baked potaters were the star of my food, they were delicious I’m glad they recommended them to me, I can’t say the same for the baked Mac and cheese, they were not that good.

The pictures on their menu look way better than the food actually is. The chicken is on par with H-E-B rotisserie chickens… The sides are pretty gross, the twice baked potatoes I got were cold. The star of the show is definitely the cucumber jalapeño lemonade, and maybe the roll.

The chicken here is good, but honestly it was pretty expensive considering the sides were only ok. Also as some other reviews have hinted, the people at the counter didn’t seem too excited about us being there (we did not go before closing). I think the chicken by itself is worth buying (12 bucks for a large chicken isn’t bad), but the sides didn’t taste authentic (besides the fries, those were good) and they were pretty low in portion sizes for takeout as well, so spending $30+ on two plates didn’t feel worth the price.

The customer service was amazing and so refreshing! The owner or manager on duty was so very attentive! It’s one of the very few places where the food actually looks like their photos! Will be going again based on the friendly service from their team and quality of food!

Excellent choice in the McAllen area for anyone looking for a convenient, fast and healthy lunch / dinner option. Service is the fastest I have experienced at any restaurant. Most times you will have your food at the table within 3 to 4 minutes after ordering.

Usually have the best experience with food & overall atmosphere, but the past few times I’ve been the tall male cashier has made my experience pretty uncomfortable. Does not offer any time to order & rushes/pushes food I do not want to order. I would have no problem trying new food if I didn’t feel obligated to hurry up & decide before he loses his patience. LOVE the food, do not like HIS “customer service”. Rude & pushy. Not a good look.

So I liked this place the first time around. But today’s customer service was downright embarrassing. First, I ordered a beverage from their fridge that required a bottle opener. Then they can’t take it from my hand because I grabbed it, so I must go around the counter myself to open it. Then, I found a long hair across my food shortly after my first two bites. I politely address the concern to my cashier, Avery, and she confirms with whom I assume is a superior cashier. He then asks if I only want the side replaced that had the hair that he saw. I don’t understand how you could offer that as a remedy to the issue of the contaminated plate. Sad to say that the red flags kept on piling up. I then hear those same two cashiers joking about whose long hair it was likely. No manager ever came out to note the concern whatsoever. I’m not sure one was even on duty because then I see staff come out sitting by the condiment bar area drinking a Coors beer and chit chatting with all the front staff. This experience just continued to progressively get worse by the minute.
