The heart of Chicken Express lies in its menu, which features a mouthwatering array of fried chicken options. You can't go wrong with their crispy 4 Express Tenders, available in regular, spicy, or half and half — perfectly seasoned and cooked to golden perfection, accompanied by a fluffy roll or biscuit. For those wanting to indulge a bit more, the 3 Pieces Chicken meal offers a generous serving, bursting with flavor and accompanied by saucy goodness.

As one satisfied customer, Adam N-A, highlighted, this is "the only place that makes chicken livers that I like," showcasing their consistent ability to deliver quality.

Sides are a hearty affair here too. Whether you choose the 24 Fried Pickles, a crunchy delight that adds a zesty crunch to your meal, or the creamy Family Cole Slaw brimming with flavor, you'll find every bite complements the main dishes beautifully. And if you have a sweet tooth, Chicken Express offers a variety of desserts like warm Cherry Pie and Apple Pie that are simply irresistible. A delightful ending to any meal!

The atmosphere at Chicken Express is welcoming and energetic, often bustling with laughter and chatter from both teenagers running the place and appreciative patrons. It’s this youthful spirit that adds a fun vibe to your dining experience. Customer Gia P describes it as “the best chicken express in Texas" — a reflection of the warmth and consistency they deliver time and again.

Great, consistent food. This is the only place that makes chicken livers that I like. Chicken is great. This place was out of gizzards and gave me extra tenders to be kind. It was clean inside, nice people. This place is the only restaurant where I like the obscure animal parts

The tenders the spicy ones are just a little too crunchy for me but other than that the food is amazing and the people are great there
