At Whistle Britches, we’re all about chicken. In 2016, Chef Omar Flores had one thing in mind – serve the tastiest, juiciest and crunchiest bird in town. Our pickle brined bird, farm-fresh ingredients and soulful cooking will leave you wanting more. We believe comfort food never goes out of style. Our scratch kitchen is always baking fresh buttermilk biscuits and some of the best chicken sandwiches in town. Couple all that with a great local craft beer selection and inventive cocktails, you soon realize why we came up with the name Whistle Britches. We like to draw a lot of attention to ourselves, and we’re ok with that! So if you haven’t stopped in yet, what are you waiting for?

    it took over 45 minutes to be served after waiting a while to get coffee/order in. Pancakes were tough; I had a Cobb chicken salad which had canned chicken in it. Wife's salad was fair....

    We have been many times for breakfast. This time for dinner was just okay. I decided to try out the catfish. I don't care for fries. I asked if I could substitute. Waitress said.. No I don't think so. It is a new item on our menu. Really. I don't care for fries so I am wasting them. Meal was okay. Definitely won't get it again. Husband got wings. They were good and tasty. Service wasn't the greatest. Asked her for a honey mustard and had to remind her. Just not a great experience this time.

    Great food and our server was awesome. However, it’s clear they are understaffed and despite the current staff working their tails off, service was not as attentive as you’d expect (drinks late arriving, water glasses not filled, etc). Again this is NOT a criticism of our server who was as efficient as she could be given the limited staffing. I’ll return and hope this was a staffing blip since food was great.

    Service was not the best! Took 45 mins to get our order - nothing complicated fried chicken and a sandwich! Waitress didn’t check on us and had to ask someone else to give my husband the right drink. Later we were told they were down to one fryer, the reason for the delay on the orders. Chicken was very good! Bisquets were hard and didn’t seemed fresh. We may go back for the fried chicken although we found it a little pricey!

    The deviled eggs, and garlic butter fries were melt in your mouth delicious. The chicken tenders were the best we've ever had. My kid who doesn't like potato salad inhaled the potato salad that came with the chicken tenders. Husband got the WB sandwich and said it was amazing. My other kid who enjoys mac & cheese really loved hers. The biscuits were tasty and comes with a delightful jam & butter. The kids couldn't get enough. The WB mule was refreshing. Service was great, and quick - we were there 6pm on 3rd July to watch fireworks at the square. We were served and done eating under an hour. It was impressive.

    The food was great, the service was good except that it took forever to get our check ( at least 15-20 minutes after we were done eating and we had her box the extra fries we ordered 30 minutes prior), it’s louder than most restaurants so it was sometimes hard to hear our table conversation but still really great food.

    I had an 11am reservation and walked into the restaurant at 10:50am. There was no one at the host stand or the dining room. Employees in the kitchen looked up and saw me multiple times but didn't acknowledge or communicate to front of house that there was a guest waiting at the door. After almost 10 minutes, I was approached and seated by the bartender, whom ended up being our server. This same issue happened to the next 6 tables that walked in after me. It seemed like whomever was supposed to be at the host stand didn't want to be in their assigned spot. While placing our order, I inquired about the corn fritters and he recommended them so we added them to our order. A few minutes after serving us our drinks, the entrees came. I asked about the corn fritters and he first responded with "let me go check on them" but then later returned and said "honestly, I never added it to the order." Food was good, though portion on the chicken bennedict was a little small for the price and came on a plate that was a little too big for the dish, more than half of it was empty which made it look even smaller. The restaurant filled up by the time we finished our meal. Not too noisy but the booths designed for parties of 2 are a little too close to each other. My head kept bumping the person sitting behind me. May come back to see if it's a better experience with service but there are plenty of restaurants in the area to try first.

    We ordered one plate of tacos and a side of Mac & cheese. It took nearly 40 minutes to get our food and several other tables seated after us got their meals and were done before we got our food. The manager ended up comping our food. But it was still an unforced error on their part.

    Wife and I had a wonderful brunch at this establishment in Southlake. Food was excellent and came out hot and fresh. We had the Deviled Egg appetizer which was solid. The brunch meals for both of us were excellent, along with the garlic butter fries. We are definitely fans and will return and let others know.

    The chicken at Whistle Britches can’t be beat. It is always seasoned just right and, best of all, the chicken is always tender enough to cut easily with your fork. The portions are more than we can eat, so the leftover meal the next day is great. We tried the corn fritters last night and really enjoyed them.

    First time at Whistle-Britches and we’ll be back! Great service, delicious food (chicken & waffles, chicken sandwich, Cobb salad, BLTA salad). Nicely decorated - the only negative is the loud music. Hard to talk with people at our table because the music is so loud.

    This review would be 5-stars if they'd have some noise-dampening: curtains, tapestry, something to absorb noise. The noise came from other guests and music, but all the brick walls just made it dance all over the place. My old ears can't discern anything in that environment. Our server, Marina (?), was great, pleasant to work with and answered all questions, order was correct and she even offered to split the check (party of 7). Food was great!

    Good food and great service. Coffee was delivered chilly rather than hot and though the biscuits are delicious, they're structurally too soft for a sandwich. They could use some acoustic panels at the ceiling to break up the noise, not to mention lowering the music so you don't feel you're eating brunch at a night club.

    Delicious food! Waiter recommended the chicken tacos and I was surprised at How tender the chicken strips were! Came with an incredible avocado salsa! Yum! My table also ordered chicken and waffles, asian chicken wings and meatloaf. Everyone was happy with their food. Got the deviled eggs and guacamole for appetizers and the Mexican corn. Best dish, probably the tacos, weakest was the guacamole. Needed a bit more salt and a little cream. I liked the heat of the jalapeños. Suggestion to restaurant?? Add a little Mexican crema and the roasted corn and just a touch more salt and lime. It was all really good. Definitely coming back!

    My Guy took me here for brunch the day before Mother's Day, and we really had a good time. Casey, our waiter, was great, very friendly, and attentive. The mimosas and food were good. I just wish they had a more extensive brunch menu ( no shrimp and grits). I definitely recommend visiting!!!

    The food at Whistle Britches was very good! I had the Sir Mix A Lot fried chicken plate with potato salad. It was delicious and just what I was craving. My 2 friends both had the Don Chignon chicken sandwich and they couldn't stop talking about how good it was. We also ordered the Creamed Corn Skillet Cornbread and Jalapeno Pimento Cheese as appetizers. Yummy! A great way to start your meal and set your taste buds for fried chicken and big flaky biscuits!
