Walk around POST Houston and you'll find an endless array of options to satiate any appetite. One of the best options here is Lea Jane's. You can't go wrong with any of the delicious chicken choices here but I highly recommend either the Hot Chicken Sandwich or the Chicken Waffle Cone. The Chicken Waffle Cone is literally the main, side, and dessert courses intelligently all mixed into one dish. The Chicken is juicy and flavorful, the Mac-N-Cheese is not overwhelming with just the right amount of cheese, and the Waffle Cone adds the extra unique touch of "bread" to the meal.

Located Post Houston. Serves juicy chicken with lots of oil if you like your favor that way. Make it spicy but removed the ranch is you don’t need it because it cost extra.

Great sandwich. I like the fact they use chicken thighs and the kale slaw had an interesting flavour. It was a good sandwich overall. Spice levels weren’t that hot. Fries were really good. I think they’re Costco fries.

I’ve come to POST quite a few times over the last year, most recently to see the Christmas Lights. Every time I come back I make it a point to try something new, and I do but I always end up getting a Hot Fish Sandwich at Lea Jane’s as well. This sandwich is fire!!! I feel kind of atypical for repeatedly ordering a fish sandwich at a Hot Chicken joint but it is what it is. I usually don’t repeatedly order the same item when I return to a restaurant, just because I like variety but this sandwich is making me break protocol. I get it as spicy as possible. I love everything about this sandwich. Intense heat on a huge, fried filet of flavorful fish, with pickles and sauce in between two buttery buns. Throw in those crispy, rough cut fries and we got us a delicious meal. Service is always quick and not complicated. The ambiance is typical of POST . Just find a table, pull up a seat and enjoy this huge, hot fish sandwich!

It's was my first time at The Post. It kind of reminded of the mall in Dawn of the Dead but in a good way. I was starving and there are so many options. I wanted to try something different and went to Leah Jane's Hot Chicken. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. It was one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever eaten. It comes in two pieces of Texas toast and some delicious,crispy, and fluffy french fries with a hint of herbs. The slaw in the sandwich was the wow factor. It brought the whole sandwich together . I can't wait to try some other items.

9 out of 10 for the chicken waffle cone. Seasoned to perfection, hot and tasty. I really liked this menu item. 13

This is some of the best chicken I've had. It was cooked to perfection. You can choose your heat levels from mild to clucking hot! They have sandwiches, tenders and wings. They serve everything with pickles, bread and their housemate ranch. The French fries were soooooo good as well. Things to note: It's located inside of Post Market across from the CBD stand.

Outstanding! Lea Jane's Hot Chicken was the food truck of choice at the Kirby Ice House on 17th August 2021. I ordered the 'Plain Jane' chicken sandwich with fries - but please note, there is nothing plain about the taste of this sandwich. You will get a potato bun stuffed with three very generous chicken tenders, pickles and a Dukes mayo. I chose the least spicy option, and it adds a great, flavorful heat to the very crispy, but amazingly moist chicken tenders. With perfectly seasoned, crisp fries, this is in my top five food trucks - and one of the best hot chicken sandwiches I've eaten. For 12tax Lea Jane's is excellent value, and highly recommended.
