Chicken Express — Restaurant in Bridge City

When I received my spicy tenders they were soaked in thick brown grease and were extremely squishy and the breading was squishy and way darker brown than it should be. I worked at popeye's for a year when I was a teen so I know how this works, they aren't filtering the cooking oil often enough. I was told by an employee that corporate recently came up with some way to save money by filtering it less often but it doesn't work the way it's intended and lots of people have been complaining. This is not any employee, nor the manager's fault. When I go there nobody is anything but nice, polite and respectful to me but my one star review is for corporate. As usual corporations are out of touch with what needs to be done down here at the ground level and trying to pinch every penny they can so that CEO man can have his 50 foot yacht instead of a 30 foot one. I feel bad because the people working there are so nice but if half the time I go I get this disgusting slop that's a poor excuse for food, I won't be...

Visiting for spring break, I figured I’d just throw a pin on the map and eat where it landed. Lucky for me, it was here! I’ve never been to any Chicken Express restaurants, and honestly, I’d probably go again. The biscuits were to die for, perfectly buttery, fluffy, if not a little small, which is really my only complaint.

For the cost, the portions are quite tiny, I got the #1 with some cheese sticks, and the total was almost $13, which amounted to 4 tiny chicken strips, 90% of which was breading. They were delicious, but I would’ve considered them more nuggets than strips. Only 2 mozzarella sticks per order, a tiny cup of gravy, and a little biscuit. Other than that, the service was great, wait time wasn’t too bad, friendly atmosphere, IMO, kind of underrated.

I think I ended up getting like 2 or 3 extra biscuits. If you go, try the sweet tea, it tasted super fresh, and was perfectly sweet. All in all, I personally really enjoyed my experience here, and if I’m back in the area, I’ll likely give it...

If you’re anywhere near Bridge City, Texas and craving some top-notch comfort food, look no further than Chicken Express. This location truly sets the standard for fast, friendly service and consistently delicious food. The chicken is always hot, crispy, and perfectly seasoned — just the way it should be. Their sides are just as impressive — the mashed potatoes, fried okra, and sweet tea are my go to!

But what really sets this location apart is the incredible staff, especially Lisa. She is an absolute gem — welcoming, efficient, and always going the extra mile to make sure customers feel valued. Her warm attitude and genuine care for the people she serves bring an extra layer of comfort to the whole experience. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated and kind in a fast-food setting, and Lisa truly shines.

This place isn’t just a quick stop for fried chicken — it’s a little slice of Southern hospitality, served up...
