I've never eaten at Bojangles, but apparently it's a big deal that 6 are coming to Texas. Houston-area's first store will open in Humble, the second in Conroe and the third in The Woodlands. 3 more opening in that Godforsaken market even further north Wink

For those in the Southeast, do y'all like Bojangles. If so, what do y'all like about it?

Here are the first three Houston suburbs getting Bojangles fried chicken

Popeyes, KFC and Church's look out; Bojangles is coming to town.

The beloved southeast chain is bringing its seasoned fried chicken and made-from-scratch biscuits to the Lone Star State and that includes a spot in the Bayou City.

Bojangles announced Monday it will open three stores in both the Dallas and Houston markets in mid 2022 as part of a new partnership with Sajib Singha and Asish Baidya of SAT Restaurant Group, LLC and Khalid Siddiqui of LASH Foods, LLC, according to a release.

Now, Hallie Dean, a spokesperson for the brand, said Tuesday the Houston-area's first store will open in Humble, the second in Conroe and the third in The Woodlands.

But she is certain this is just the beginning.

"Sajib Singha and Asish Baidya of SAT Restaurant Group do not plan to stop at three," she said. "They have plans to open 10 (plus) in the area over time. This deal just includes the three at this time, though."

The company will also simultaneously open corporate-owned restaurants in the Dallas-Fort Worth market in the first quarter of 2022.

“Get ready, Texans, because our delicious chicken and biscuits are headed your way, and we can’t wait to serve you up some real deal, Southern flavor like only Bojangles does,” said Jose Costa, the brand's chief growth officer in a release.

“We’re proud to be working alongside two experienced, multi-unit operators in LASH Foods and SAT Restaurant Group to make the move to Texas, and we look forward to the great successes that will come from those partnerships.”

This is Bojangles’ third major franchise development this year.

In March, the chain signed an expansion agreement with longtime franchisee Jeff Rigsby to open 45 new stores, including 15 in Columbus, Ohio, and in early May, it signed a deal with Chaac Foods Restaurants to open 40 new stores, including 15 in Orlando, Florida.

One opened by me recently. I remember eating there in college, their chicken is trash. Their breakfast sandwiches are pretty good, better than most fast food places. They were a 1.5 hr wait when first opened. Still takes 30 minutes to go through drive thru.

Stick to breakfast sandwiches, but skip the biscuits and gravy.

Best I can tell, Bojangles converted to a different sweetener about two years ago.

Before, it was good food at a good price. Since they changed it, everything tastes like a bad diet soda that has been left outside in the sun for two weeks!

So, um, yeah... I haven't been back since. Good luck.

Wow. Flashback to the 1970s. Nothing special. Here we have KFC, Chruch's, Zaxbys, Chick Filet, Raising Canes all within a mile of my office. All about the same level of mediocrity. There are also Mom and Pop places that are ALL better.

I like their chicken as long as it’s fresh and hot. Once it’s been sitting under the heat lamps for a little while, forget it. Their sides are good also.

Cajun pintos and dirty rice. The chicken was great, cant spell biscuits but they were good.. Big Grin. Their sweet tea was addictive and I could drink a gallon. Now I like Lees Chicken the best.

Not their first time in Texas by a long shot. In 1983/84 they had stores in Longview, Texarkana, Tyler and 4-5 locations in Dallas...

Not sure how long ago they left but after growing way too fast they shrunk quite a bit but in the last 4-5 years have started growing again at a much more sustainable rate.

The chicken is "just OK" (good flavor, the chicken itself is tough/stringy at times), the biscuit breakfast (served all day) sandwiches are good. The best thing on the menu are the Bo-Tato Rounds, mildly Cajun-flavored hash brown "nuggets."

Bojangles is our go-to chicken option here. We don't have Zaxbys or Popeyes nearby so I can't compare.

They are a good solid fast-food chicken option - well worth a try if the locations wind up near you.

The Cajun filet biscuit, roasted chicken bites and dirty rice are worth fighting for. Fight me.

Ate at one once. Didn't feel the need to do it again. It might or might not be a step up from KFC. That said, I live outside of Nashville so I'm blessed with a multitude of amazing chicken joints.

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

The best chicken place in Houston is the original Frenchy's down near the University of Houston. The neighborhood is a little dicey, but the chicken is the best. The chain Frenchy's are good, but not at all the same.

It's clear many people seem to like it, but I cant be the only one who thinks Cane's is only fit for consumption by pigs. I tried it 6 times total, 6 different locations and it has just sucked consistently every time.

I just don't see how they could have F'd up more.

I tried the one near me once. Once was enough.

I like Popeye's OK, but they stopped carrying their green beans so I stopped buying there.
