We arrived near closing the other night. They served us anyway and with good cheer. Rickys Hot Chicken is amazing and HOT. No joke. They even loaded us up with extras on our way out. The place sells hot chicken but the staff, attitude and experience was pure joy.

Good chicken. Waffles are not so fresh which took away from the experience. The sauce is an extra charge, which is annoying when all they do is chicken and have a sauce thats supposed to be paired with the chicken. Daves Hot Chicken is definitely preferred.

Ricky s Hot Chicken is a solid alternative to Dave s Nashville, and I actually like it better. They ve got good mac & cheese, good fries, good chicken really, they ve got good everything. And the fact that its Halal? That s a big win for me. I prefer the Plano location over any other; it has way more seating and just feels more accommodating overall. But I have to say, the original location has some real drawbacks. The hours are ridiculous you never know when they ll be open. Sometimes they re closed when they should be open, which makes it hard to plan when to eat there. Plus, the staff can be a bit moody, which doesn t help the experience. Overall, it s a decent chicken spot, but the weird hours and service issues bring it down a bit.

Rickys hot chicken offers a poor tasting overly spicy seasoning. I ordered hot and my friend one heat lower, both were too hot. The atmosphere is horrible. Not enough seats to accommodate people eating inside, and if you do get a seat it is incredibly loud. Napkins arent included in the to-go bag and it is very messy. Tables outside are available at the next door restaurants, why not this one? I will not be returning to this restaurant.

If youre a fan of bold flavors and crave a new twist on fried chicken, Rickys Fried Crispy Spicy Chicken is an absolute must-try. The moment you take a bite, youre greeted with a perfectly crispy coating that adds an irresistible crunch. But the magic really happens with the seasoning its a vibrant blend of spices that delivers a spicy kick without overwhelming your taste buds. Each piece is juicy and tender on the inside, creating a delightful contrast with the crispy exterior. This isn t just fried chicken; it s an exciting culinary adventure that redefines what fried chicken can be. If you re ready for a taste explosion, Ricky s Fried Crispy Spicy Chicken will not disappoint.

Ricky s is well deserving of its rating, as my boyfriend and I loved our hot chicken. We got the Sando and Bird s Nest. The Sando at mild heat was great for me and the medium heat of the Bird s Nest was definitely a notch up. The shop is pretty small but the employees were so kind (and speedy!). I ve been hungry for this sandwich ever since.

Ive had a good amount of chicken sandwiches, and not only is this a very reasonably priced sandwich, but its also well seasoned and large in size at that. You can also choose from various levels of heat which is nice (X-Hot is pretty hot, although Ive had hotter - I would never try the Atomic here). Far better than a Chickfila sandwich, and about the same price. The crinkle cut fries were done very well, and actually retained their crisp. I will be coming back. My only criticism is it is a small place, but for someone who usually gets takeout this doesnt affect me. 9/10 Chicken Sandwich 9/10 Fries

Really dank and small chicken shop in the corner of a shopping center in Richardson off of Beltline/75S. I got nuggets and fries to test out what they re about a very baseline order. The menu is pretty simple, spicy chicken and fries. This is a nitpick I don t like how small the store is. Service was wonderful. Price was fair. It s fried chicken you know, who doesn t like fried chicken. They have sauces to complement the meal. Much better than your run of mill chicken fast food (golden chick, canes, laynes, etc) I plan on coming back and eating chicken and waffles one day.

Foods good, service is good, not much seating though. They need to get the neighboring restaurants to let customers sit outside when this place gets packed. The line out the door speaks volumes about the quality of the food here. Its best to get here at 11 am. At noon, the line goes out the door, so plan accordingly. Food

Rickys loves TEACHERS!!!! Awesome!!! The chicken is hot and fresh/fries krispy/ sauce delicious. The tenders are so big. They also know how to take care of area teachers. Rickys offered free meals to all educators for teacher appreciation. They were so helpful and allow us to take a meal back to our team mate that was wheelchair bound. So many people rave about the chicken and speediest of service. Definitely glad they are in Richardson and check out there Plano location as well.

I use to love this place. Today I went and got some wing basket as usual. I noticed several employees touching everything while wearing gloves- one guys specifically kept hands in the picked and and Cole slaw rubbing it continuously for no reason. I still ordered my order. And my food. I have had diarrhea all day! Never coming here again. They had cooked chicken sitting over the grease and raw chicken not in the fridge or being coated. What a waste!

Best hot chicken sandwich in Dallas, hands down. Big piece of chicken, loaded sandwich with really nice ingredients. The birds nest feeds 2-3 from its sheer size. I love the flight when we go as a group because it definitely rewards fake bravery if they get the hottest! Pudding and the cheese curds are fire. The line out the door speaks for itself.

The food is absolutely delicious and actually spicy. I used to think I could handle my spice but Rickys is on another level ! Ive often gone with Medium if you want something spicy yet comfortable to eat and enjoy. If youre feeling a little risky then definitely go for Hot , some days Im able to tolerate it other days it quite literally makes my eyes tear up but its still delicious. The cashiers however always seemed irritated with you no matter what time of day you go in. The place is really small theres no designated area to wait for your food so most of the time the line to order is blurred by the people waiting for their order , at most you can only sit 4 groups so it does get crowded easily , We mostly opt out for ordering To Go since its easier.

I was under the impression they were hand-cut halal. I ate there twice under this impression and I was blown away by the taste. Then I found out they didn t carry hand-cut and haven t gone since :( Edit 3/17 - Read the managers response and I think its totally fair. Will give them what they deserve, based on the food I had originally. I also apologize for my initial remarks, you are doing the Muslim community a favor by trying to cater to us, and we appreciate it. Maybe in the future, whatever is blocking hand-cut chicken from coming through can be unblocked. Thanks.

Went today for the first time. The line moved quickly and we got our food fast. This might be the best Nashville hot chicken I ve tried. I had the birds nest - medium heat - and it was a ton of food. Perfect ratio of chicken, fries, and toppings. I did order extra sauce just in case but didn t need it. Pair it with ranch for even more flavor. The medium heat had a good zing to it. If you re sensitive to heat, stick with the first or second level. The seating area is very small, so if you prefer more space, get it to go. Not a complaint, just a heads up. Overall a great experience.

Best hot chicken in the nation I go here at least 4 times a week I recommend any one I see to go and give it a try if you like hot chicken this is the place. The chicken is always perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The spice level is just right - not too mild, but not overwhelmingly hot either. The portions are generous, so youll definitely leave satisfied. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Whether youre a hot chicken aficionado or a first-timer, you wont be disappointed with the flavors and quality here.

The chicken was delicious and flavorful. My wife ordered a sandwich, mild, and I ordered the 3 tender plate with A-Bomb. The flavor of both was excellent. The chicken was perfectly cooked and served hot. The A-Bomb is probably one of the spiciest things Ive ever ordered in a restaurant. The cashier warned me before I ordered, so I was thrilled that it lived up to expectations. Most places that claim to have very spicy food really dont live up to the hype; those that do will often mix their sauces with capsaicin extract to artificially boost the heat without adding any flavor. Rickys stands out as the exception. The A-Bomb flavor is a mixture of hot oil (I think its cayenne pepper infused into the cooking oil), habanero, ghost, scorpion, and Carolina reaper peppers. I could taste all of those in the seasoning without a hint of extract or artificial stuff. There was just a hint of sweetness to it that blended nicely with the heat of the peppers. Ill say this: if youre not into hot peppers, do NOT order the A-Bomb. But if youre like me and looking for the holy grail of face-destroying, gut-bombing, euphoric-endorphin-rush-inducing Nashville Hot chicken, look no further than Rickys Hot Chicken. I will be returning soon.

The service was amazing! But my food was definitely a 0/10. I asked for medium and got mild, my chicken had absolutely no crisp and were soggy, my chicken tenders also were bland with no seasoning, and my fries tasted like it was cooked in old grease. I really was looking forward to trying this place but was highly disappointed. I didn t even eat the food that s how bad it was. Overall the service was great and quick.

The place is small and theres usually a line out the door, but the food is worth it. I usually get the jumbo tenders which is about $10 and comes with 3 tenders, fries, and a drink. I usually spend $1 extra for sauce. Im not the biggest fan of spice, so I usually order the medium or mild, which is enough spice for the meal. I really enjoy the seasoning and think Rickys does fried chicken really well (better than a Canes or Chick Fil A). Keep in mind that their hours are limited, but if youre in the area, you should definetly stop by. Parking: Their location is in a strip mall, so theres always plenty of parking.

If you re looking for Nashville HOT, this is the place to get it! Super friendly staff, simple menus, quick process, AMAZING FOOD!! It s a small place so don t expect to be wowed here. There is a big and clear menu with all the options and a Spice Meter as well. They have different varieties of chicken meat (tender, legs, thighs etc..), sides, and heat levels. Take your pick, order at counter, and wait till they call your name (it took about 10mins) We got the chicken n waffles which is available on weekends only- so hearty, so crispy, so juicy, and oh boy did it hit the spot (heat level HOT) And we got an order of the tender (XHot - ghost scorpion heat ) the server gave us a fair warning when we got this one! For the sides we got the Fireballs (cheese curds), Shake Fries (which were crunchy, with the perfect spice flavors) and the comeback sauce! Overall the food was super delicious and pretty much perfect!!! If you re looking for that kick in the a** - this is a must try!

Writing this after only a single visit, but since we are in the exceptional take-out only period of shelter-at-home virus response I think it warranted: Everything we had was perfect, even after the drive home. We got a Birds Nest, as well as both the XHot and A-Bomb Tenders. Everything was cooked to perfection with large pieces of meat that were juicy and tender, with the flavors spot on; the pickles really complemented the spice rub completing the nashville taste. As both of us are lovers of the hot we were completely satisfied, I slightly preferred the more earthy flavors of the A-Bomb and my partner slightly preferred the brighter and less earthy flavors of XHot. Since everything was so good as take-out, we are greatly looking forward to trying them again, likely another time as take-out, but even more when we can dine in. If their food was this good now, we look forward to seeing how great it is when served straight from the kitchen. Parking: Generally plenty of easy to find parking but can get busy at dinner time or during huge new movie release times due to The Alamo Drafthouse, great to combine the two though: grab Rickys before seeing a movie! Wheelchair accessibility: There is parking and an available ramp right in front of the door

Legitimately stunned at how good this was. Lots of popular fried chicken places in dfw, but none have been particularly good. Tried those new joints in deep ellum and it was all crazy prices and mediocre chicken. Was not expecting much from this place, but it was a solid 10. Grabbed a plate at the hot spiciness level and I honestly think it was just the perfect spiciness. Any more and you would not be able to taste much else. Any less and it would be too bland. Thr descriptions are exaggerated, however. The level below Hot was described as like a jalapeno, but I have never had a jalapeno that mild before. Chicken is greasy as hell but tastes great. Seasoning was kind of sweet and spicy, my only complaint was that maybe it was a touch too sweet, but for the first time the white bread and pickles actually made sense flavorwise when combined with the chicken. Nice quality pickle too... A lot of other places use those nasty, cheap fluorescent yellow pickles , but these had nice thickness and didnt seem to use too much food coloring. Fries were the starch dusted variety, which are usually terrible but once again, the ones here are cooked to perfection and have an outrageous, amazing crunch. Honestly been at least two years since I have found a restaurant in dfw that I liked until now. I just wonder what type of oil they use for frying.

I gotta say. There are only a few places that actually serve spicy spicy foods, and Rickys definitely one of them. I usually swap between quarter bird or the 3 wings, xHot. I have tried the A-Bomb & is hot hot, I mean I could probably do 1 leg in that level without crying. Oh, flavors are phenomenal even with the spices.

I love it but if they start order online and delivery it will be better because sometimes we wanna eat but we cant go because of many problems so that we can order online and enjoy our food in home.

After it trying it again, it was definitively a one of the best fried chicken restaurants in DFW. The birds nest was full of flavor and very filling. Will definitely be going here again. Hoping they open in the Plano/Wylie area!!!

The food is good but the staff didn t greet nor hand me the bag. They just left it on the counter after calling my name. Dude taking orders looked like he didn t wanna be there. What did my tip go towards? Will need to try a diff location.

Visited today. The food was really good. I got a mild chicken sandwich. Everything was fresh. The staff was rude. No one said hello when I walked in. I got in line and a male staff member just pointed to me and pointed for me to stand behind a line of tape on the ground away from the register. I liked the food I just may go to a different location next time instead of Richardson.

The best Halal Nashville hot chicken option I have tried. My favorite is the bird s nest, which is chicken, hot fries and coleslaw. All my family and friends I have taken here love it as well. Dietary restrictions: Great place if you are looking for a halal option.

Ricky s Hot Chicken! Can we say, the fire! Ricky s Hot Chicken is the FIRE! I live in Melissa TX and have hearing all this talk about Nashville Hot Chicken. Saw it on tv, social media and at the water cooler in the office. Now I consider myself a connoisseur of the yard bird. A professional chicken consumer since I was knee high to a duck. Ricky s Hot Chicken is so good, it was still hot and crispy filled with delicious goodness when I got back to Melissa TX. My family and enjoyed the hot Sauce soaked slices of bread. We were not able to finish it all in one sitting. We returned days later to finish it off. After being refrigerated we popped it in the toaster oven to heat up and it was just as good as it was on the first day. Ricky s Hot Chicken is in my Fav Five for Hot Chicken.

Came here my first time and it was just okay. The line was long so it took almost an hour before we got our food. When I finally tasted the chicken thigh, it was just okay and my fries were hard. Not sure if I want to come back. Maybe they were having an off day.

Im here literally once a week. Its the best chicken ever and at a decent price. Its not some frozen, deep-fried chicken that you would get at a fast food place. I just wish they had a bigger space, but they cant help that.

Our family tried a variety of options, but when we ordered no spice for our two year old, we expected no spice. Poor baby got her first introduction to spice and she didn t like it. We gave her a cut-up nectarine to counteract the spice. Please Ricky s check your orders. The ticket said that we ordered mild, when we didn t. PS-not enough fries per plate.

I always get the 12 nuggets 50/50 shake medium with fries and extra come back sauce- always hits the spot. My husband gets the 3 tenders meal, same seasoning, never any complaints. They do get really busy with lines out the door but theyre all very efficient. Even as busy as they are, theyve never gotten my order wrong. The chicken is always cooked well done and breaded evenly with generous amount of seasoning to coat. Parking: Plenty of free parking in the area, few spots in front of the restaurant.

I m surprised by how high the ratings are for this place. I got the chicken tenders, fries and banana pudding. Medium spice. It was good, but nothing to exclaim about or come back to. The medium was a good spice level but I felt like the chicken and seasoning was missing flavor. For being packed with seasoning it was surprisingly bland. The chicken was a bit dry as well. Come here if it s convenient for you but nothing to go out of your way for.

The food is pretty good. I got the mild for my chicken wings and didn t really have any flavor to it. It was surprising. The hot on the chicken strips were really flavorful, a bit too much spice for my tastebuds. I definitely I have to go back and try the medium hot, which is probably a perfect balance between the two.

Good price and flavor except I could taste stale oil (used too many times) which was a big turn off. Also place was crammed with very limited seating. I had the medium heat 3 tenders and that was just right, my friend got extra hot and started crying, turned red and went to the restroom couple of times from the heat, he had to throw it away because he couldnt handle it. Update: I saw response from owner, I dont want a refund but will give you guys another try and hope it doesnt taste stale. will update this review at that time.

Food is phenomenal with a wide variety of fried chicken styles. Service is also amazing regardless of the small store. Employees are very organized and have their routine mastered. It gets a little congested in there if your waiting which is the only reason I d take a star away from atmosphere, but phenomenal food with great service

Excellent fried chicken so well seasoned, tender, juicy, and flavored! Restaurant is a bit cramped for space but that has no impact on my score. You must try Ricky s if you are from out of town or if you live in the DFW metroplex. I tried the Hot heat and it packs a heavy punch (this is the perfect spice level for me) in case you re hesitant, I d suggest medium if you re eating it for the first time to get an overview of the flavor and still enjoy it.

Ok I can see why they have a sign out front that reads line starts here....the chicken is amazing! Obviously worth standing in line to get. I ordered the Bird Nest at medium spice and was not disappointed. The only con I would say about this place is only 6 drink options from the soda fountain machine and seating is crowded.

Honestly, Ricky s is the ONLY good hot chicken place in Dallas. Other places don t even compare. The spice level is actually spicy. Fries are crispy. Sauce is delicious. Prices reasonable. I also love their slaw, it balances out the chicken nicely. Favorite item here is probably fireballs. Delicious fried cheese curds covered in spice. Always get them.
