Bush's Chicken — Restaurant in Waco

Five Stars Just Isn’t Enough for This Experience

From the moment I stepped into Bush’s Chicken, I could tell I was in for something special. The warm, welcoming atmosphere immediately made me feel at home, and the staff were as sweet as the tea they serve—genuinely kind, courteous, and eager to make my experience a great one.

Now let’s talk about the food—because wow. I ordered the 4-piece tender meal with a side of fried okra and a sweet tea, and every single bite was a reminder of why Southern comfort food is in a league of its own. The chicken tenders were perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. You could taste the seasoning in every bite, and it wasn’t overpowering, just flavorful enough to make you want another piece before you even finish the one in your hand.

The fried okra deserves its own standing ovation. Golden, crunchy, and piping hot—it had just the right amount of salt and crisp without being greasy. A true Southern staple done right. It paired perfectly with the tenders and brought the whole meal together in the best way possible.

And of course, the sweet tea. Let me just say—Bush’s gets sweet tea. It was ice-cold, not overly syrupy, but had that smooth, refreshing sweetness that just hits the spot. Honestly, I’d come back just for the tea alone.

I left feeling full, happy, and already planning my next visit. Bush’s Chicken has earned itself a regular customer with this one meal. If you’re craving great food, friendly service, and a meal that satisfies from the first bite to the last sip, this is the...

The service was very poor, and the server seemed to not want to be there. I am from out of town so I was asking questions and she was not thrilled. After I placed my order, I realized I was never asked about a sauce option for the tenders. So, when she came back I asked her the options. Again, wasnt thrilled. Then I asked for select sauces nicely still, and she informed me it was $.60 more. First, my chicken tender meal should come with sauce to begin with, and if she had of asked me the first time I would of paid additional if it was needed. Instead I had given her my card twice now. The second time she handed me the sauces and receipt. I got back to my hotel and started looking for my card, only to find out she did not give it back to me. I called the location and they told me that they would search for it. Then they found it and asked me to come back. They didn’t apologize once I was there or on the phone. Then I sat there waiting after I’ve told two different service members what I was there for. So now I am back at my hotel, having ordered my food 20 minutes ago, which is now cold and they didnt even offer me anything when i went to get my card such as a drink or to replace my now cold...

Went to this location on 11-20-2017, the rude girl with the hoops an tattoos on the back of her neck was very very rude to me an my family. She walked to the counter wit a attitude to take my order, told us it would be ten mins for the rolls to be done an it was 12:10pm then walked away. We asked her when she return if we could sub for fries she said the only thing she could offer us was jalapeño or cookies(wow).then walked off again. Then after we told her we wanted four sweet tea's she mumble they think that there going to get it for free charge them (like really I just sent 35.00$ on rude service). Was very unhappy that our tea was unsweet an we couldn't have dinner rolls wit our meal after waiting 20 mins for them.after we talked to the manger the Spanish lady she was just as rude as the lady that had on the hooks...
