Hubee D’s

Wanted to eat some good wings for dinner so I decided to check out a new place. Hubee D’s doesn’t fry their wings, they smoke em. Compared to other fast casual, counter service places I thought the wing prices were high.
I tried three different sauces and wasn’t impressed with any of the them. They weren’t bad, but the dry rub blended with the sauce just didn’t do it. The wings were a bit tough, but with no crispiness. If I’m not going to get the crispiness of the fryer, then the meat should be more tender. Add on that they forgot to give me the blue cheese and we’ll call it quits on this place.

Extended good food! I got a goat island salad and it was huge! The price was great. The salad was delicious, this was my first time here and I was very happy. I came for lunch and got served right away with no wait. Very friendly service! Will go back.

Food was great and fresh

First time here. Fast. Tasty. Friendly. Cozy. Clean. Love love love this place. New fave. Goat island delight salad and grilled tenders w fries. Perfect in all ways. Xxx

I got wings to go. They were beautiful and I would have posted a photo had I not savagely inhaled them the second I got the box open. Most wing places undercooked the wings leaving them rubbery, these were golden crispy and gorgeous. I taste tested the buffalo, BBQ, and their Jerk sauces. I couldn’t name a winner, they were all stellar. This was my first time here but it won’t be the last.
Next time, I will also pick up a fried banana pudding. The cashier told me they batter and fry a banana and serve it atop a big scoop of banana pudding then drizzle chocolate and caramel sauces with a dusting of powdered sugar!!! Oh, Mamma!

After a quick shift at work and I can’t leave because of a meeting. I decided to try a place I saw a co worker was eating. I swear, I thought she was eating a burger and I had ‘burger’ on the mind.
Nope.they don’t do burgers, but since I’m here, why not try something. I ordered the chicken tenders, something called Banana Pudding. something and cole slaw. Chicken tenders were that. chicken tenders. Spiced not too bold and not too weak, enjoyable. The only thing with me was. I ‘breathed’ them in. They were done.gone.before the after taste set in. Note to self: Order a LARGER PORTION next time. Cole slaw. Though it was moist, it was as moist as I would have liked it to be but it did have a nice taste to it. The Banana ‘whatever’. I had a taste for banana pudding which was my first mistake. I saw on the menu ‘banana’, and ‘pudding’.so I put them together. Not what I was expecting but a VERY pleasant surprised. Nice on the outside and warm on the inside. Me thinketh this would do fine with ice cream.(2^nd note to self.)
The place is large. though I didn’t take a walk around. Do they have flat screen tv’s? This would be the place to be during Panthers Home games. but it might get a little nosey after a touchdown.
I have to come again to this place. first time wasn’t enough for me. needs further inspection.

Love this place… hard to decide what to eat… probably my favorite is the honey bbq wings w/​fries but salads are great too! Staff is always great.

This place was great! Awesome chicken wings, amazing wrap and great service. I got six tossed chicken wings in a mild sauce. They were perfectly dry rubbed with awesome flavor and are smoked before being fried. The mild sauce was delicious and topped them off perfectly. I also got a blue cheese chicken wrap that was as good as the wings. They put their delicious chicken tenders inside which is what truly makes the wrap delicious. Even their fries were delicious! The décor of the restaurant as well as the friendly service put this place into a five. Honestly I was gonna give them a four but thought they were being short changed by the overall three and a half they got on Unilocal at the time of my visit. So I want to help them get to their well deserved four. Give this place a try

Likes: The best chicken fingers I think that I’ve ever had! The wings, salads and wraps are pretty good but after having their chicken fingers I don’t know how I could ever order anything else here! They have a great variety of dipping sauces but in my opinion the chicken fingers are best on their own!
Gripes: This place gets very busy on the weekends with limited seating inside and a long wait to order at the counter. I recommend calling ahead your order and getting it to go.

I wanted something quick and inexpensive after a long day and decided to give this place a try. I got the chix tenders and fries meal and it was alright. The employees here are nice and helpful with any questions regarding the menu. The sauces are okay. The only issue was with the squeeze bottles containing the sauces. Some of them have buildup at the tip which can leave you with an unexpected mess if not careful.

Upon walking into Hubee D’s, I was impressed with the atmosphere. It carries a southern charm and locally grown theme that is complemented by a modern menu display. Ingredients in plain view, a nice dining room, and other touches make this place much classier than its price point.
I ordered a large chicken tender basket. The breading on the chicken was fried to the perfect crisp, and the tenders themselves were country thick. Paired with their signature (BBQ-​Ranchish?) sauce, this chicken is worth building a restaurant empire around. Fries, cornbread, and coleslaw also come with the basket. Fries were hand-​cut and pretty tasty, but i prefer mine a little crispier. Cornbread tasted homemade and fresh. The slaw was awesome — a very conservative amount of ranch-​vinaigrette-​like dressing makes it seem like a cole slaw salad as opposed to the frequent overly mayonnaised slaws. Overall, the basket greatly exceeded my expectations. Next time i’ll be trying the fried banana pudding.

You have got to be kidding me I ask you smoke your wings? They told me yes so I ask what type of wood do you used? After asking a few people took a wild guess and said Hickory.

We were just looking for a quick bite to eat when we passed by Hubee Ds. We tried the chicken tenders and the dry rubbed wings. Both of us liked our meals very much. It is a great restaurant for chicken on a budget and fast food. I liked the tenders better than Zaxby’s for sure. They also have crushed ice and fix your own fountain drink.
I recommed this fast food restaurant to anyone looking for a chicken meal. The staff was very nice and helpful, and the place was clean and quiet.

Great food! Finally a good casual place in Myers Park. Just chicken — tenders, wings, nuggets, salads and wraps. The BEST fries anywhere!
We will be back. It will be a tailgating staple.

I somehow always crave chicken on Sunday’s, so Hubee D’s was a destination of choice. I was slightly surprised to find out that it wasn’t a traditional sit down restaurant, (i.e. You order your food at the counter and they bring it to you at a table.) but no big deal. I ordered the grilled chicken tenders, cole slaw, and some cornbread.
The items I ordered were all good, but one thing I loved is the amount of dipping sauces provided at the table. Their signature sauce is really good (sweet, creamy, spicy) and the other sauces were fun to try, too.
Surprisingly, for a restaurant that isn’t a traditional sit down place, the service was exceptional… the person who took our order, also delivered our food, cleared plates/​dishes as needed, checked on us, and even refilled our drinks for us (filled them so high he had to walk a tightrope back to our table from across the restaurant. Well done!)…all while still running shop at the front of the house, too. (He was tipped well.)
This is a nice ‘tweener’ restaurant. Almost like a chicken-​centric version of Panera.

What a great surprise! I have had Hubee D’s on my «to try» list for months, but am not a huge fast food/​fried food eater so kept avoiding. So needless to say I was so wrong in what I thought I was getting myself into. The food was fresh, didn’t give me a fast food feeling and had amazing service!
Upon arriving I explained to the guy at the counter I had never been, but wasn’t a fried fan. He recommended the grilled chicken sandwich. So, I chose the grilled chicken sandwich basket, which included fries, slaw, and a piece of cornbread. I received a number and found a table, which was rough b/​c the place was packed. After only a few minutes I was delivered my meal. The sandwich was served on a kaiser roll with the Hubee sauce and pickles, which was fresh and hot, but I think needs some lettuce or something. The fries, OMG! Thin, crispy and served with the perfect amount of salt. I also enjoyed the slaw, but did find the cornbread to be a little sweet and dry for my tasting.
Overall, I loved Hubee D’s and look forward to my next visit!

So as a person w/​o kids who generally focuses on healthy flavorful eating, this is not really the place for me. The offer wings, chicken tenders (fried or grilled) and nuggets. They said that their crispy tenders are their most popular item so I gave them a try along with the Goat Island Delight salad they said was their best — a salad with craisins, almonds and champagne vinegarette. They seem to do a big business from the hospitals at lunch and their food comes out ultra quickly which is good if you’re on the go. They seem to do a good job with training their employees.
I just wasn’t crazy about the breading/​seasoning on the chicken– it tasted a little bland/​sour and when you say crispy, I guess I expected more crispy batter ala KFC on the outside and the batter was quite thin. The accompanying sauces named after various South Carolina places were boring (buffalo, jerk, bourbon, honey mustard, etc.) The best was the Old Edisto sweet honey BBQ sauce.
The salad was bland without the dressing but the dressing itself didn’t complement the salad at all. The saving grace of the meal was the delicious cornbread which was sweet and moist, and the frozen banana pudding pop in a dixie cup with caramel and chocolate, which incidentally is not a good thing to eat while driving. Consider yourself warned. It is, of course, absolutely delicious but despite being small (in a Dixie cup) it is quite dense and filling and I couldn’t finish one.
Is this a great place for families with kids? Absolutely. Will I be back? Probably not until I have a 4 year old I have to feed or I have a hankering for the cornbread or banana pudding pop.

We passed by Hubee D’s one day, said «What’s that?!», and then visited the next day to give it a shot when we were looking for a quick, cheap early dinner.
The menu is fairly simple — all chicken-​related — but there’s a little something for everyone: wings, tenders, boneless wings, sandwiches, salads, sides, and desserts. You order at the counter, get a number, and then the food is brought out to your table, so at least you know it’s cooked to order.
I tried the crispy tenders meal which included fries. For a dollar more, you can get the platter which also includes coleslaw and cornbread. I opted for the 4-​piece tenders for $ 1 more than the 3-​piece. Unfortunately, what I got was about 3 ¹⁄₃ tenders. Like the chicken wings, I figured you could also get hot sauce on your tenders, so I requested that the tenders be tossed in their «seriously hot.» Seriously, it’s not that hot. And I was charged an extra 50 cents. And they have five kinds of sauce (including buffalo hot sauce, which tasted the same) on the tables. I basically paid 50 cents for the labor of someone putting sauce on my chicken that I could have done myself at the table. And then another 20 cents for blue cheese. All of which should automatically be included with ANY kind of chicken.
The tenders (all 3 ¹⁄₃ of them) were very tasty and the buffalo sauce (that I could have just put on myself) was flavorful, too, although not very spicy. The big handful of shoestring fries (with skins on) were very good, too.
I’m not a fan of chicken wings, but looking at the menu, they seemed a bit pricey (about a dollar a piece). And their fried banana pudding sounded interesting… but not for $ 5 a pop. Seriously?
Would I go back? I might. The food was good and fresh. I’d know just to put the free sauce on myself, though, and next time I’d probably say something if I just got 3 ¹⁄₃ tenders for the 4 that I paid for. That should be part of their quality control, though, not mine.
I’m probably being generous with four stars, but three stars seemed too low. It’s probably more like 3 ¹⁄₃.

Hubee D’s caught my eye as I was looking for a quick lunch. I am not a fan of typical fast food but in full disclosure I just had my eyebrows done and looked a little weird (i.e bright red skin around my eyes) so I was trying to avoid spending any time in an eating establishment.
There wasn’t much of a line at noon on a Thursday, so I ordered the three piece fingers and fries to-​go. At just under $ 7 it wasn’t any more expensive than your typical fast-​food spot in my opinion. I concur with other reviewers that everyone I encountered was very friendly.
I asked if they had any sauces and they directed me to try one of their many varieties (6 or 7), I started pouring one in a to-​go cup and the sauce must have dried up on the top of the squeeze bottle because it came out like a rocket… all over my face, hair, clothing… it was safe to say I was covered. Many staff members mentioned this happens all the time which had me thinking «why hasn’t management changed the bottle???» I know they felt bad because they offered me a beverage and even a free dessert pop. It was definitely nice that they cared, but it won’t cover the cost of my stained dress. Luckily I worked from home that day because a shower was very necessary, I could not have returned to work in that condition. I abandoned my sauce collecting efforts after that.
The food was definitely better than your typical fast-​food. It was very well seasoned, if a tad salty but I liked it. The fries were really good, probably my favorite thing. They were thin and crispy. I didn’t find the food any more greasy than what’s usual for fast-​food. I’m still more of a Zaxby’s fan when it comes to fingers but I would return to Hubee D’s if I didn’t feel like venturing too far from home.

After a long wait, or what seemed to be long, for these guys to open their doors, we made it in for a late-​ish lunch the day after opening. What used to be a small gas station/​auto body/​lube has now been turned 180 degrees and is a full-​fledged restaurant chock a block filled with comfy seats, fried foods, and grating country tunes.
Upon entering, it feels rather familiar. You’d think these guys have been slapping locations down throughout the Southeast for the past couple years, but no. With only a handful of locations, and now Crown Town, HD’s barely qualifies as a chain. The décor is a little kitschy, simple, and familiar, but the seating arrangement is actually rather spacious and comfy. Gigantic booths available for larger groups… or anyone who just wants a comfy seat for the hind quarters.
Every staff member we spoke with was brightly smiling, cheery, friendly, and helpful. It felt like these guys had been open for a couple of months with how smoothly the whole operation was. Looked over the menu right quick and here’s was we came up with:
Buffalo Wrap: Meh. Obligatory flour tortilla, jammed with iceberg, cucumber slices, crispy onion straws, bleu cheese, and lightly breaded, sauced chicken nugget-​y bits. I’m not a huge fan of their buffalo sauce, as the spice mixture varies pretty far from what my expectations were/​are. I ate half of it and dissected the other.
Dry Rub Wings: These are the shining star. I’m a fan of wings in general, but dry rub is something that tends to fall short when it comes to execution. Hubee D’s mix is simple, slightly smoky, and has a twinge of spice. The bleu cheese was a little weak, so I forwent close to all of it.
Sauces: Think there are 5 in-​house varieties at every table. Not a one out of the bunch really stood out. The most interesting was the Bourbon Sauce. A little more vinegary and closer to home for NC.
Fried Banana Pudding. I mean… come on. What more do I need to say? Of course it’s amazing. Just get it.
For our entire meal, considering style of product, prices are pretty fair. We ordered quite the menagerie of menu items and still walked out only paying $ 25 for the two of us.
Parking, which I originally saw to be an issue, is not as horrid as one would think. About a dozen spots in the front of the building and also several in the rear.
I’m really glad this place has come to Charlotte. It’s an easy, familiar, accessible, and affordable concept. Fans of other chicken-​based chains will find an easy entrance into becoming a regular here I’m sure. Really kid-​friendly as well. Families will find the appeal of this spot in no time flat.
