Chicken is amazing, in whatever form you get it. I got fried, my wife got chicken fried steak. Both were great. The cost of your meal includes salad and sides. Standard sides are corn, mashed potatoes and gravy, and some kind of green beans. We asked for a bag or box to take home our leftovers and were straight up told “No” by our server. Basically, she will get you a bag or small box for your leftover chicken, but you can’t take home leftover sides. We thought this was bizarre, but the server wouldn’t budge. We asked to speak to her manager, who she went off to get. The manager explained that the sides are “all you can eat”, so they don’t let you take home what you don’t eat then and there. But we hadn’t finished the first serving of sides, so it seemed like at least that much should be considered what we paid for with the meal. I can understand they don’t want people polishing off plate loads of mashed potatoes and then asking to take home the uneaten last plate loads, as this I guess would technically be “all you can eat plus extra”. But we hadn’t asked for additional servings of anything and felt like we paid for at least the first servings worth. Anyway, the manager ultimately asked the server to bring extra boxes for the leftover sides so we could take them home. The about taking home leftover sides is not posted anywhere, at least no where conspicuous, so we weren’t aware. It’s a weird policy, I think. Somewhat understandable, but somewhat not. I guess we’ll know the next time we go in. New diners, consider yourselves warned.

We had a fantastic lunch and were really impressed with both the fried chicken and the smoked chicken—each was flavorful, well-cooked, and clearly made with care. Our server was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu, which made it easy to decide what to try. The overall experience was relaxed and enjoyable from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back and look forward to trying more of what they have to offer.

Family style dinner, constant protein offerings and always exceptional! It's a must do at least once on any visit near the Fort Worth area. My itinerary is planned around our family's meet up at Babe's (Granbury or Burleson locations, whichever works best for everyone.)

Delicious food. Always. I love their salad. I love how everything is served family style. Always lots of food. I was disappointed to see my daughter’s WATER was $1.79. I know it’s not much but I means a kids water? Our waitress was not great and not very friendly but the neighboring one was so she made up for ours.

Standard fare but the chicken was a little burnt and had a slight strange flavor. Service great. Need one in the Grapevine area for sure!

This was my first time going to Babe's. We were visiting the area and my husband had been to one before in another town. What an experience! Undoubtedly the best fried chicken I have ever had! It came with unlimited sides that were so good too. Chicken decorations all over the place! Great friendly atmosphere and a family restaurant for sure! Country and oldies music. We will be back. It was worth the 3 hour drive for us!!

We waited till the last minute to decide on dinner, 850 to be exact and they close at 9. The manager and waitress were so welcoming and fabulous. Food was hot and fresh, service was excellent and everything was on point. She checked on us regularly never missing a beat. Made sure our drinks were always full and bowls never empty. Thank you'll so very much for allowing us to come in, sit down to eat and serving us with smiles on your faces (after closing time). You'll rock and we highly recommend this place. Don't miss out everything was excellent!! You will regret it if you do!!
