This place beats the Holy Crapola out of Boston Market (or whatever you call yourself lately). The chicken tastes better, the sides are better, and the name is better than Boston Market. All they have to do is expand their meats a little and they are ready to go head-to-head or mano-o-mano with the Boston Megalith. So they are a little small, 3 locations and one in Allen opening soon, compared to the 530 or so Boston Markets out there. Well so was David, and look what he did to Goliath.
Now I'm not going to say Cowboy Chicken couldn't use a little improvement. The sides need a little seasoning in some cases and the chicken is a little greasy to the touch and the rolls were a little bland. Also the demeanor of the guy who delivered the food to our table could have been a little more cheerful. I've seen zombies with more sparkle and joi de vivre.
I also couldn't agree with Texas Monthly that their twice-baked potato was all that great. It didn't taste of much of anything to me. More butter improved the taste, but then butter does that to about everything, doesn't it?
Pros: Good chicken, smoked flavor and tasty side, inexpensive
Cons: More seasoning on the sides
