Tex Bites was always the go to spot on a Friday evening or Saturday, Mexicana Burger meal with wings instead of a drink or some tenders on the side. Fast forward to Covid, backyard BBQ teamed up with Tex to perhaps keep Tex afloat. The Mexicana burger is still a goto burger with their crinkle cut fries, but sadly the Backyard BBQ division seems to be lacking and slightly overpriced. Albeit, I only tried Backyard BBQ when they first launched a few years back (I was a bit shocked at the pricing at the time, for a joint that used to be a budget takeaway spot) and returned to try their wings. Sadly, they were very disappointing. 6 backyard wings (basically grilled wings) for £8.50. I’ll get back to the price shortly. 4 out of 6 wings were burnt, not even charred. I’ve included a picture of one of the wings in my review. Since we got takeaway (which we always do) I wasn’t able to check them before I left the shop. Rather disappointing that there’s no quality control, if something is burnt, chuck it and start a fresh. Now for the pricing - Chicken cottage doesn’t even charge that much for their grilled wings. I’d expect at least 8 wings for the price they’re charging. Or jumbo sized wings OR full size wings. Overall, I think the OG Mexicana burger is probably the only good thing that’s on the menu, for the price point at least.

Consistent, quality, fast and efficient traditional Fish & Chip takeout. The previous team was much better than the current team, mistakes to my order have been made and quality isn’t as good. However would still recommend. Thick chips, delicious rotisserie chicken, very tasty fish not overly battered , recently over fried. Gets busy during peak times, for good reason! Best in the area.

Delicious fresh food and excellent customer service. Well recommend....5 Star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

0/5. Don't order food to take home. They place orders to couriers last. 00000000000

Customer service was terrible and average par fried chicken. Upon complaining about the amount i was given per price (not specified on advert) i was very aggressively told to go away as allegedly nobody had complained before. The reviews here would tend to disagree with that. Good luck to your failing business.
