Babe's Chicken Dinner House - Granbury, Texas

We LOVE Babe's! Fried chicken is always my go-to! Biscuits melt in your mouth & Ara served with molasses or honey. They serve sides family style, which are all wonderfully yummy! Fun family environment as well!

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!!

Straight up winner. However, bring your appetite and if possible some friends too! Great place and I'll be back next time I'm in Granbury. Dang good food!

Babe's is a solid meal for any family gathering or just a Saturday in town. It's nothing fancy or spectacular but you'll leave full and generally happy with the experience... and isn't that what it's all about?

I'd personally like to see the protein portion size a bit larger but to be honest that's splitting hairs because the sides are really the highlight of the meal. The salad is unique as compared to other side salads and is a favorite of both mine and my wife. The corn is quite the treat too. Lastly, let's not forget the biscuits that are hot, fresh, and almost always perfectly prepared.

The servers are attentive, upbeat, and pleasant. They "read the room" well and seem adept at engaging or standing off as the situation calls for. Moreover, they are responsive so don't hesitate to communicate your needs.

Enjoy!

Meal: smoked chicken dinner x2
Pricing: $50 + tip

The meal and service was excellent! Sierra, our server, was attentive, kind, and courteous to us as newcomers. She helped build the experience that is Babe's.

The lemonade, smoked chicken, and sides were cooked with some major TLC. Kudos to the chef tonight! The overall vibe of this place was very easygoing, family-style. I enjoyed being a part of tonight's culture and, most importantly, the food! It's better than most chicken joints and won't break the wallet for 2 people.

From the tang and bang BBQ sauce, to the creamy delight of the gravy, to the smooth tenderness of the smoked chicken, Babes is a real deal. Definitely would give the location another round of good times!

We have been coming to babes for a long time. It depends on what waiter/waitress we get on whether or not we had a good experience. The food is always good.

We came in one night last week and we have 3 kids (8,5,4). Instead of ordering 3 kids plates, we chose to order an adult meal for the younger two to share and the oldest kid a kids meal. We were told we would be charged a vegetable plate for one of the kids that were sharing. We tried to explain that we were ordering an adult plate because there’s simply not enough meat on a kids plate to fill them. They don’t eat most of the sides so we order more meat. Which in turn is spending more money than the 2 kids meals put together. I understand charging extra if two adults split a meal, but charging for 2 small children to share was absurd. Sadly, we won’t be back because of the business practices. But like I said in the beginning, it depends on the server you get. We’ve done this other times and haven’t had any issue. This young woman wasn’t comprehending so we ended up leaving.

We were seated promptly, and our server was very attentive during our entire meal.
The atmosphere was what I would have expected it to be. Mostly clean, only off things were the Lazy Susan on the table was greasy, and one of the chairs at our table was an office chair 😂
Our server first brought out biscuits, (super good), and a salad (okay, but was overly drenched in some kind of house dressing).
Ordering was super confusing, no menu, no mention of prices (our fault for not asking).
My husband and I decided to go with the smoked chicken, as we wanted something a bit healthier
(We came here with a few others, and they had chosen the place ).
The food came and it was awful! The smoked chicken was very, very greasy, and quite small pieces (one tiny breast, tiny thigh, and tiny drum; way smaller than a normal size you’d expect). The sides were so bad that we (my husband and I), couldn’t eat them: instant mashed potatoes, and I’m pretty sure the creamed corn and green beans came straight out of the can. If we weren’t with a group we would have sent the entire meal back (sides were served family style), and went somewhere else. We quietly sat and tried to eat the smoked chicken.
The check came and I felt for what we got it was outrageous! $18.99 for the tiny three pieces of greasy “smoked” chicken, and $10.99 for the instant potatoes and canned veggies that we didn’t touch. Also this is the cost for one person (so $32 per person); we chose to share a meal, thank goodness. I did quietly speak to the manger; and he took off the price of the sides.
We had eaten other places during this weekend visit, and got huge wonderfully made meals for half that price.

It was a busy Saturday night in Granbury and we were getting hangry. We decided on Babes, which is located in the downtown area, where there is little to no parking. We illegally parked in the church across the street. (Sorry Lord, please forgive us) 😁we only did because there were no services in session.

We were immediately seated and our server explained the non-existent menu. You could pick from several kinds of chicken and then all of the sides were shared. We were very surprised to hear alcoholic drinks were not being served. My partner chose the chicken strips and I picked the smoked chicken.

Biscuits and salad were served. Both were delish. The chicken and sides came out. Both chicken dishes were very good, as was the mashed potatoes. The corn was just ok and the green beans were awful.

The music of the night was very loud, making it hard to hear the server and each other. We asked for a box to take the chicken strips home and was told there were no boxes, just bags. We bagged up our chicken strips and made our way out.

The family style serving was nice. It would have been nice to have a beer or a glass of wine as well. The place was busy and obviously good but it was not a place I would return to.
