I'm not a big fast food guy, but since BC is in my area I have been several times, it's a little different than most fast food places.

1. Don't use the drive thru. All the burgers are cooked to order and that takes a few minutes, so if you have a car in front of you, you will be there for a while.

2. As I said, everything is cooked to order and that is what makes the burgers so good, fresh and hot with a nice assortment of topping, avocados etc..

3. The hot dogs are excellent, large and loaded with toppings. Wraps and salad above average for a fast food place.

4. Beer is available, but I think it is limited to evenings.

5. The staff is Chick Fil-A - Cane's friendly and efficient. No snarling, surly malcontents.

This is in the old Arby's location almost across the street from the new Willie's.

Thanks, I had not seen the earlier review. I didn't realize it was family owned. That explains the service.

I use made-up names for restaurants. I started off calling them Bull Dykes, but Bull Shits ain't a bad choice either.

Months ago, I drove up to the drive-thru menu board. Waited. Waited. Hello. Waited. Drove away. That's my experience with Bull Shits.

I'm a bit of a mark for their tequila lime chicken sandwich.

It's solid, good food. By far not the best sandwiches I've ever come across, but it's definitely not bad and it's a nice lunch option when I'm in the area.

As others have said, you probably won't want to go there if you only have 20 or 30 minutes and need a fast food lunch because they're not really fast food. They make it a point to tell their customers this through signage and let you know that their thing is to cook and prepare the food only once its ordered.

I've been a few times since I work really close. It's nothing I'd drive across town for, but a decent option for lunch when close by and very fairly priced.

I like the teriyaki chicken wrap.

You're the Kenny Banya of the Food Board. Your attempts at humor go over like a turd in a punchbowl.

Are you saying a turd in a punchbowl isn't funny?

As we said, the drive through is slow because it's cooked to order. Be a man, get your arse out of your car, pickup truck, tractor, mule, the walk isn't going to kill you.

That doesn't explain being ignored while waiting to order.

Then close the drive through. They offer drive through service and it's complete shite.

Went once, drove through (apparently I should be greatful they answered), it took forever, the food was somewhere between McDonalds and Chili's, haven't been back

Ha! It's true. But fortunately for Bull Chicks, that Wal-mart Market thingy opening across the street will save them. If it wasn't for that bit of luck, they would be closing soon.

I'm always glad to see families who invest in our community by opening businesses, providing jobs, services and opportunity, are rewarded. I didn't think they had a chance when they opened, and it was pretty lonely in there when I visited, but they were very busy at lunch today and they seem to be builing a clientele.

Offer a good product at a fair price and if you are lucky, you will succeed. I wish the same success to Willie's across the street.

completely agree... I'm glad to hear their business is good and wish them the best of luck, but being local doesn't excuse them from fair criticism.

That whole place screams fast food from the building to the silly name to the goofy logo. I had no clue they were a cook to order restaurant until someone posted that here.

I just thought they were another random shitty chain or start up that had crappy service.

Just to be clear, Bull Chicks is a chain. Started in Corpus Christi, TX. According to their website they have 9 locations. They have one in Louisiana (Baton Rouge). Basically, someone in Baton Rouge is a Bull Chicks franchisee. It isn't some independent, mom and pop restaurant.

You sure they weren't closed?
I go there all the time and they are waiting on me to roll down the window. Family owned makes a big difference in service attitude. Up there with Chick Fil-a as far as attitude. They are slow because they cook to order but worth the wait. You might have been there on a Sunday, check for cars next time. The staff doesn't take the bus like a lot of the other fast food choices.

They were open. I know it's hard to tell sometimes with them, but jeez, I'm not that oblivious. It was on a Saturday. Probably around 3 o'clock. This was over a year ago, when they just recently opened. I didnt' know anything about the place. I wanted a shake and they looked like a place that might serve shakes so I went to the drive thru. I didn't see any shakes on the menu, but I was going to ask to make sure. I waited, said HELLO, but didn't get a response. Waited a little more, then I drove away.

So basically you telling me they are slow. So I imagine they are real popular with the 30 minute lunch crowd. I tell you the real reason they cook to order is because they have so few customers. Cooking anything in advance would kill their food cost because they will be throwing half of the stuff away, waiting on customers that will never show. It's a shite business model for a fast-casual restaurant... with a drive thru. A drive thru that isn't open on Sunday by the way. That's called confusing the customer.

I go all of the time. It's really good. Mushroom melt with the seasoned waffle fries is the real deal. It's the only fast food burger I'll eat in town.
