Reviews for The Cookshack in Spring, TX
I never knew this place existed, I've been on much a hot chicken binge, so off the strength of that, I had to come to visit. The... place is what it is, it's a shack..a cook shack, so there is nothing amazing about the interior design (lol) but you're not herefor that, you're here for the chicken, salad, and/or ribs. I went with the mildly spicy chicken & waffles, and a kale saladwith chicken. In all honesty for a kale salad, was really good, not the best but if I'm in the area I may consider it. Now forthe chicken and waffles, I LOVE their waffles, I think it's the best fluffy + crispness to accompany chicken tenders of anyspice level. Most places just have crispy waffles and crispy tenders, I love the way the Chick en& Waffles has been interpretedhere. I inquired about the hottest chicken and discovered you have to sign a waiver before placing that order, I declined thatbecause I wanna still be able to taste the food after eating, but, ngl, I have to try it now, along with the ribs. Thecustomer service was the best I've seen in a while!!! Read more
Got the quarter rack of ribs and two tenders plate w/ side. Chicken tenders were very chewy. We each took a bite of a tender and... then no more. Ribs were fall off the bone, and had good flavor (we got Texas heat). Dragon fries were good and have a subtlekick. Read more
We purchased the family meal. There are 3 of us in our party. We have enough left over to take home. We ordered 1 AMF spicy... wing. I can do spice... this was hot. My eyes were watering. I love my spice, but I think I'll tone it down a bit next time. The ribs were great. The kale salad is my favorite. I feel it's a tad pricey, but overall staff is great and friendly. They keepthe place clean and worth the tip. I would give it a 4.5 Read more
We stopped by the newest hot chick place here in Spring. Salad with med hot chicken (had good flavor but it was not hot) you... should move up if you want some spice. Service was great! It was busy and they did clean the table for us just before we satdown! We would try them again but have to kick it up as we are spicy people! :-) Read more
The Cookshack is a nice fast- casual spot. It has a hip upscale industrial vibe, but more cozy than cold . There's a bar that... has a few liquors, wine and more beers. We shared a combo of a quarter rack of ribs, 2 chicken strips and we chose sweet potatowaffle fries. We don't like spicy so we got everything "not hot" as it comes. Everything was fresh, ribs were VERY tender andmeaty, chicken strips were large, yummy, and obviously hand made, and fries were appropriately crispy. We got honey mustard and"shack sauce" which is similar to a Cane's sauce. Both sauces were more creamy/mayo based, and we liked them both. Service wasfast and friendly, and seating was plentiful. They make their lemonade from scratch, and it's good, but it is TART. I mixed minew/ tea to tamp the sour some, which helped. We would definitely check them out again! Read more
The vibe inside the restaurant was really nice. By the time we left it got busy. I got the chicken and waffles - the fries were... a bit too salty and i wish they let the oil drain off the chicken longer so it wouldn't be soaked in oil. The waffle itselfdidnt have much flavor - I wish they were lighter and not as doughy. My bf loved the chicken tacos and the sauces they had!So... overall the food was good and I'd like to come back to try the ribs. Prob better to ask for fries without salt and add ityourself.

Family friendly, Great food and Wonderful service. The menu is just as big as it needs to be. You can get your chicken super hot... or mild enough that a baby could eat it. The Mac'n Cheese is the bomb.com and the butterscotch cookies are a dessert that isdefinitely worth trying. You can't go wrong with The Cookshack! Read more
There?s lots of ?chicken places? out there, but the sauce menu here is wonderful. The sweet heat sauce on the medium-hot... tenders, are my favorite and have a nice kick to them! Price point is on the high side but with inflation where it?s at- Iguess it?s not too far off from other places. This place has a cover patio and I will update my review when I find out if theirpatio is dog-friendly or not. Read more
