Dallas Gourmet

Dallas is doing it right. My order: Chicken Fillet Burger meal + 1 side-breast piece. Cost: £5.49 ------------------ Fillet Burger: This is the star of the show. It's a weighty, juicy fillet that ticks all the boxes. Substantial and filling - yet full on flavour too. The lettuce was relegated to the bottom of the burger and made comfortable bedding for the fillet. It was not overloaded either, so there was no moat of lettuce brazenly scattered around the burger (which is a ubiquitous practice of most Fricken shops). The breading of the fillet is sublime, crisp - with a punchy amount of heat tickling the taste buds. The coating was generously peppered. Those that do not like spicy food, or black pepper - be warned. ------------------- Side-breast piece: Succulent and hefty, with plumes of steam emanating from the bone, as I peeled the juicy meat off with ease. Each bite was a pleasure. The coating is not as peppered as the fillet burger, so those of milder palates should be happy with this. -------------------- Chips: Crisp, not too greasy. They were decent. -------------------- Drinks: Pepsi products mostly, but Mirinda is served here (hood rats rejoice!!) ------------------- Location: Great. 2-mins round the corner from the main entrance at Waterloo rail station. ------------------- Premises: This is where they falter. It is a very diminutive shop, and not the most salubriously pleasing either. There are some seats here, but it can get very claustrophobic. You may suffer temporary blindness too, from all the luminous construction clothing around you. Builders and those in the construction industry are the main patrons of this branch you see. Get your order to takeout, walk round the corner and go to Waterloo station - there are plenty of seats there to anonymously munch your grub whilst laughing at running commuters. --------------------- Overall: Dallas does not rely on its looks. Do not eat-in. They deliver on taste and serving your food steaming hot. Dallas is a great choice for a stop-off on your commute. If you are brazen enough to withstand the looks of other (hungry and jealous) passengers, eat your Dallas on the train - go ahead (JR Ewing would be proud). ------------------- Professor Poultry's Grade: C+. If they made their premises more clean and appealing, they would get an easy B+.

The best tasting chicken I've ever had. Came here as recommended by the Chicken Connoisseur, wasn't disappointed. Although it's small, it had seating available, and is usually clean (as clean as it gets with that frequency of customers). The staff are very friendly even under pressure, and respond very well even to troublesome customers.

Peng. I give it 5 stars relative to dodgy hole in the wall fast food places. Chicken wings were on point! Whoever spices that chicken knows whats up. The flavour was there, and the spicy heat was subtle but not tame. For pre-bagged fries, they were good. Obviously they aren't home made, but what were you expecting? very well cooked. Best wings I've had in London at that price point.
