Flaming Bird By H-e-b - Kyle

Not gonna like, I was reluctant. But I love H-E-B...so I'm sure I would love their chicken concept. I wasn't disappointed. From flavor to price to service...it was awesome. Great job H-E-B...no one does more...

My favorite place to grab a quick bite. Very reasonable price and the food is good. They cook the chicken on the spot.

I placed an order through favor at about 6:30. I think that means the driver got there about 7. They were out of the mashed potatoes, onions and jalapeños. I also asked that they cut the chicken into 8ths, specifically asked them to cut the drumstick from the thigh, and the wing from the breast. They didn't do this either. I didn't care for the chicken, I thought it had little to not flavor, and for charcoal chicken the skin was barely seasoned and certainly not crispy in any way. I got the corn and the rice as sides (the rice replaces the mashed potatoes which is what I had really wanted) the rice was rice, not bad, not good, just rice. The corn was on, interesting, but again, nothing to write home about. They did give me extra corn tortillas for the inconvenience, but they are just store bought out of a package and they didn't even warm them up. Really, the only reason I gave them a 3 rather than a 2 star rating is because the price is certainly right...though maybe the reason everything was so mediocre at best is because you get what you pay for? Personally, I probably wouldn't be giving them a second try any time soon, or possibly at all. There are so many charcoal chicken places, not to mention just food options in general, when a restaurant misses the opportunity to knock it our of the park, they may not get another chance.

If you go in with the expectation that it is what it is you won 't be disappointed. I did not expect a 5 star restaurant and with minimal expectations for getting lunch at an H-E-B I was pleased. The chicken was well prepared and moist, the sides were tasty the service attentive, and the price was even more tasty. Certainly not a top pick go to but honest well prepared food at a great price!

Flavor. None. Chicken. Drier than an 80 yr old woman that had been laying out in the sun her whole life. Talking about a catchers mitt. I could have made a hand bag that Prada would have been jealous of with just the skin of that thigh. Halloween is coming up so I'm going to save the skin so my kid can be leather face. Felt like a buzzard picking at a 30 day old corpse. We call that jerky around here. I've got an 8 year old built like a line backer would look like a child from Ethiopia if this was our only source of food. I know they don't cook food like this at home. Smdh so much for a quick lunch.
