Coming in, the pool table sat amongst beautiful wood floors and walls. I never saw this place before, but it was perfect. Nostalgia gleaned in the quietest way. Ordered: 1. Patty Melt with fries 2. 1/4 lb cheeseburger with fries 3. Shrimp basket with fries 4. Hamburger Steak with sweet potato fries Delicious! Happy to see the place up and running.

Walking through the doors of Chicken Oil is like stepping straight back into Aggieland history—and I am here for it! 🙌🐔 From the moment you see the vintage décor and gorgeous animal mounts to the walls and tables etched with decades of names and memories, it’s like every inch tells a story. You can literally feel the history in the air (and smell the burgers on the grill—perfection!). 🍔🔥 The food? Absolutely outstanding—every bite tastes like tradition. And the staff? 100% pure gold—smiles, laughs, and that genuine Texas hospitality that makes you feel like family the second you walk in. ❤️ Chicken Oil isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a living, breathing piece of Bryan-College Station history, and I’m so grateful it’s back!

Chicken Oil Co was a great blend of modern country restaurant with a nostalgic blast from the past! The restaurant has several areas to spread out and accommodate a group of any size. The old school signs and animal mounts were fun! The food was good old classic southern food! No need to get a side of fries as most meals come with fries.

Love the inside of the restaurant. Lots of seating inside and a lot of TVs. Very friendly and efficient staff. Keep their tables clean and clear. The chicken strips were tasty but tasted much like pre-breaded prior frozen strips, sweet potato fries were delish, my husband said the burger was good but not something he'd crave to come back for.

We went and it was super packed and crowded but it was good. We had to with for a table to open. Only complaint I can say is a man had about 3 tables saved for a birthday party the time it took the party to arrive 4 families could've used the tables and left. And the side choices are very few. Just fries, onion ring, chips pretty much was all.

Had looked forward to the reopening. Was very disappointed. The food was average, small portions, especially for the price. When you pay, of course there is a place to add a tip…let’s see you order standing up at a counter, you go pick up your own food, and then clean you own table…what the heck is the tip for? There is no service. Probably won’t be back.

My first time back since they opened so I was excited. It was not crowded and we did not have to wait in line to order. I was disappointed because the burger and fries were cold, not even warm. Both kids did not eat any of their fries but I did eat all of my cold Tijuana fries. To the gentleman that was tending to the dining area, you were doing your thang brutha.

Had not been to COC since pre-pandemic. We were not impressed with the current burger/fry offering. The cardinal sin of any burger joint is serving fries that are: 1) room temperature and 2) chewy. Our fries were both.

I was very disappointed in the food. I was so excited to try it again since its reopening but the food is not the same smh. Cold, soft fries after we asked for crispy fries... no salt/bland. The burger was like a jr burger small & not bad but not worth the price when you can buy better food cheaper elsewhere. Shame my family & i will not return. Chicken strips were bad. I guess you just get 2 strips??? 🤦‍♀️ My 9yr old son said fast food is better, sadly i agree. Pics & vids.

Our friends took us here to try a local place. It was a bit disappointing that they didn't have a main ingredient for their burger of the month and it was only the middle of the month. We also stopped by hours before they closed. Their fries were unseasoned. We did enjoyed their fried pickles and I liked my Buffalo chicken sandwich.

Ok ladies and Gents this one is going to hurt. But as you know i always tell it like we eat it. I love the rustic look and feel of this place. You enter order sit down and they call out your name to get your food. Unusual but for some fantastic, as you know me, I prefer to order sit down and they bring it to the table. Not here its mostly self service. Table was clean, I ordered pickle chips, motz sticks, a Duffy special, a Duffy burger with onion rings, and drink. We are sitting there talking and our order comes up. I get it and bring it back sit down and try a fry then a pickle chip. Immediate notes. Fries are soft there is 0 crunch, and very little seasoning. The pickle chips. Also from a frozen bag, not cooked fully through, no crunch and the breading rubs the roof of your mouth wrong. But it doesn't stop there, trying a mozzarella stick we get hit with the same frozen bagged junk, the same breading and let me be frank, the star of these dishes was the RANCH dressing. Now im expecting a burger that wows from Bryan's beloved burger joint. The patties are frozen, and they taste like the cheap patties from McDonald's and Burger King. But those at least have some flavor. They try to ramp up the taste with the mayo, ketchup, mustard, and toppings. Unfortunately it just makes it more obvious to those that are burger people. Fake it til you make it, ya know? The onion rings also the cheap frozen bagged kind, not very tasty and we ended up throwing half of the pickle chips away, and 4 mozzarella sticks because they just were not enjoyable to eat. I give this place 2 forks. Food was not worth the price. Nostalgia is what your going here for. Will not be back.

I was excited for Chicken Oil to reopen, but was a little hesitant to revisit after hearing some mixed reviews. After visiting today, I can unfortunately see where the complaints are coming from. I ordered a steak finger basket. Not only was the total $20 (!!) for 5 steak fingers and fries, plus a drink and tip, but I was surprised to see how much the portion sizes shrunk. The quality of the food has significantly decreased and was mediocre at best. The steak fingers were tiny and extremely bland, almost as if they were store bought. Although the meal is 65% fries, they tasted no better, and the gravy was practically water. Even the Cherry Coke didn't taste right. Super disappointing experience overall ):

Tijuana fries just cheese fries. Nothing special about it. Just order cheese on the fries that come with your tiny burger. Beer is $5.50 per bottle. I grew up in bcs, and this is not the chicken oil I remember.

used to go here as a kid and would love the hamburger baskets did they served? Visited for the first time in 20 years and was very disappointed. Paid 799+ tax for a burger that was the size of a kids burger. Over priced, maybe a good place to drink!!! But not the place to get a bang for your buck!! Not a cheap person, but not paying for noting that’s not worth it… pictures to prove it. Look for your self😂😂😂baby burger for eight dollars plus you have to pay three dollars for the fries
