Somewhere between the chaos of a drive-thru and the commitment of a three-course meal with linen napkins exists a sweet spot in the dining world.
It’s the place you go when you want your food fast but still want the option to sit down, breathe, and eat with actual silverware. Casual enough for jeans, fast enough for your lunch hour, and tasty enough to text a friend mid-bite to brag about your meal.
Some meals are meant to be quick. Others are meant to be enjoyed. But every now and then, a place comes along that manages to do both without breaking a sweat. It’s not fancy, but it’s far from forgettable. The food comes out fast, the atmosphere is relaxed, and somehow it all just works.
Whatever the secret recipe is, LoveFood found the one Texas spot that does it better than the rest.
According to LoveFood's list, the best fast, casual restaurant in Texas is Mike’s Chicken in Dallas.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about the best fast, casual restaurant in the state:
"There’s tough competition, but many say that Mike’s Chicken serves the best fried chicken in Dallas. Whether that’s true or not, it’s certainly a popular spot for convenient fast casual eating. A full plate, with two sides, a biscuit, and a dipping sauce, comes complete with your choice of chicken (pick from tenders, wings, breasts, or even a half bird). But if you’re all about the meat, skip the sides and dip to your heart’s content into Buffalo, ranch, white gravy, or Mike’s signature tangy, peppery, salty sauce."
