Now Hiring: Cook

• Compensation: $9 per hour - $11 per hour
• Location: Brownsville , TX

Come join the original Texas chicken finger restaurant—serving great food and good times since 1994! At Layne’s Chicken Fingers , we take everything seriously—except ourselves.

Established in 1994, Layne’s is the “Born and Breaded in Texas” chicken finger restaurant. Our culture stems from our roots in College Station, where we perfected our chicken-finger frying technique. True to those roots, we are a fun, fast-paced, dynamic team that does not take itself too seriously—but we take our food and service extremely seriously.

We are looking for great people—huge emphasis on great! Our team is full of positive, friendly, hardworking individuals, and we strive to keep it that way. That is a huge part of what makes Layne’s such a great place to work.

We are proud to say that we do more than provide the community with great food; we offer awesome opportunities for anyone who wants to learn and grow. We work as a team—no one succeeds alone, and we understand that. This is why we offer leadership training and life skills you can take with you wherever you go.

Working on the Layne’s team will give you real-life experience, endless opportunities, and the chance to say you are part of something special. Most importantly, you will have fun doing it.
