Continuing to evolve this review. The Boneless Hot Bites, consistently excellent. The fried fish, always exceptional! Sadly the Spicy Tenders are inconsistent. When they are freshly made, exceptional. but today, sadly they had clearly sat under a heat lamp too long, disappointing as they are usually great. read more

Went close to the closing time and they gave me STALE chicken tenders, once I tried to get it remade or even a refund, they wouldn't allow me to because I didn't have the tenders from the night prior. ALTHOUGH I WENT CLOSE TO CLOSING. The owner called my cell phone and didn't help at all. read more

This place solved the "gotta have fried chicken" dinner fix. We are used to KFC and Popeyes so the salts and sauces were a unique feature. Other than that it is about the same as everyone's chicken . . . but different. Dicks read more

Chicken Express - The chicken. What are those people in the picture behind the chicken looking at? - Chicken Wings Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

This was okay! Nothing more or nothing less. I stopped here for a quick drive thru dinner. I ordered the chicken tender meal with a side of corn nuggets. Across the board, the food could have been hotter. The chicken seemed pretty standard for fast food fare and the sauces were alright. The cashier was sweet though and I was reminded of the fact that I was in Texas by the colossal soda that came with my meal. I can't say I'd be back if the opportunity presented. read more

Chicken Express - Drive thru POV - Chicken Wings Near Me - Austin, Texas

People who take the orders can't even count I mean I might come at this a little harsh but it's not that hard to count just double check next time whoever's drive thru girl was retrain asap read more

Absolute best staff in the world! Carla and team do an amazing job! Never had a wrong order, they are all super polite, and the line moves fast considering it's fresh food! read more

Good good and service in Burnet on way to Marble Falls Texas with a variety on the menu chicken and fish etc!

The fried catfish, chicken and chicken strips are all very good. Hi I have eaten there many times and it seems that they have put too much sugar in the coleslaw and the creamed corn was way way too sweet also. I like their food hopefully they'll correct the recipes on those two items since they seem to have changed. Otherwise, I would give it 4 to 4 1/2 stars for the value and quality of the food. Perhaps if they get the sugar out, things would taste better and I can increase the number of stars I give. read more

I really like chicken express because it's one of the only places nearby that sells fried fish (until rolling rooster came in further down 620). I love that they make the fish fresh to order so you do have to wait but you know your fish is being cooked fresh instead of sitting there in the heater for hours. The only issue I have is the time frame when you order online and time it takes for the location to actually confirm the order. I had to wait 45 min one night for my order of 3 fish filet to be ready and that was with no one in the to-go line. Sometimes it's difficult to have a car of kiddos waiting 10+ min. For your order to be prepared but that is just something you deal with when your order is prepared fresh I guess. read more

Decided I had a taste for fish so I went here just because I was in the area, normally I wouldn't go to a chicken place for fish but somehow it was calling my name, ordered just the 2 pc with hush puppies, I see my fish is made to order so that's a plus while waiting the aroma was smelling so good I thought I was in a soul food restaurant. The whole time I'm thinking I hope it tastes better then it smells. Y'all the fish was absolutely delicious, and fried to a golden brown not too soft, not too hard it was just right. The hush puppies were good too. For my fish fix I know where to go. The restaurant is very clean & the staff are friendly. read more

The chicken tenders are really good and I can't get enough of their mozzarella sticks! I highly recommend this location-the staff have always been very nice and helpful. read more

Love this place always hot and fresh and they're very nice and helpful it was my first time here and they walked me thru how to order and what comes with the meals read more

I don't wright a lot of reviews. I just had to for the new Chicken Express that just opened by me. I had a great experience with the staff being friendly and helpful with my orders. Maddy & Mark are so nice and helps when I'm placing a order, because I have trouble reading the menu. The food is also very hot and Fresh every time I get my order. So, try the Chicken Express on 281 & Wilderness Oaks exit. Thanks Maddy & Mark read more

Huge fan of chicken express! This location is great, very convenient to my home and the staff is friendly as well as helpful. I've been here quite a few times, and have not had a bad experience yet. Will probably continue to visit at least once or twice a week until my opinion changes or I can't fit into my pants anymore, whichever comes first. Pro tip: With the combos, you can choose either 1 side and a beverage or 2 sides! read more

Chicken Express - #2 (7 tender dinner) half spicy, half regular. Fried okra, corn nuggets, gravy, and a roll. About $12, worth every penny. Very good - Chicken Wings Near Me - Austin, Texas

Not only is the chicken impeccable everytime i'm there, they give the best customer service of any fast food restaurant and it's not even close. literal perfection and i hope everyone gets to experience the perfection that is chicken express read more

Tea is watered down. Chicken and fries was old and cold, gizzards cold and greasy. The staff was nice and the roll and biscuit were good . I get they they say Express but they may want to not have so much old product for sell. I would have rather waited to have fresh cooked food read more

Greasey, greasy, greasy. My experience was that the chicken was so oily it is disgusting and vomit worthy. Horrible. Do not recommend unless you love grease. Drink a large glass of cooking oil. Drink it straight. Same thing. Just my humble opinion. read more

I haven't had fried anything in a while and didn't want it but sometimes we sacrifice. I was excited to see the salad choices and decided to grab two of them and the Old famous gizzards. read more

I think it's under new management because the service and food is disgusting now. Not going back. I'd rather drive 10 miles out of my way for chicken. read more

Service is top notch! The owner is on top of things here. The chicken is the best I've had in a long time. This is not fast food. It's fresh food! 10/10 will be back. read more

Unacceptable!! To come to this place and go to your lunch and this is what you get, this is not what anyone craving for great tasty chicken will accept! This happened to me today read more

Chicken Express - This is unacceptable!!! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Austin, Texas

I came here during lunch last week and one thing that stood out more than the chicken was the service I got and I was just getting take out! I recently move to the area and was looking for a quick bite with limited time. I perused around for somewhere I never eaten from. Chicken Express! Jackpot. Upon first glance I wasn't sure, because it looks like a restaurant you will find in a move a la Los Pollos Hermanos from Breaking Bad. I decided to give a shot. I was greeted upon entry with a great big smile and welcome to Chicken Express there was a also Yelp check in special I didn't need. The lady ( I forgot her name) read me my options, which was different varieties of bone-in or boneless chicken. I was disappointed that there wasn't a spicy chicken option (especially in Texas!) I ordered the lunch special which included 3 strips a drink and a side with gravy included no matter which side you pick and your choice of a biscuit or a roll for $5.99. The lady made small talk while the cooks prepared my meal as I made myself an Arnold Palmer. The chicken was good, crispy, above average for mild chicken, but again I prefer spicy. I would be back only because of the great service I got. The mac n' cheese side I order was your average Joe, far from outstanding and disgusting. Great place if you like mild chicken, for spicy chicken lovers do check out Gus' Fried Chicken downtown. read more

Not a huge chicken person but this place is next to my new job. Got the snack pack for lunch and it was delicious! Pretty quick through the drive-tru and food was super fresh and hot, not overcooked. The fried Okra was really good as well, perfectly fried not burnt or undercooked. 96¢drinks, the sweet tea is one of the best I've had at a fast food place. Look forward to trying the fish! read more

Chicken Express - fried chicken and a bag of chips - Chicken Wings Near Me - Austin, Texas

Ordered combo meal for fish...when the manager what is going on as it's been 24 minutes with nothing. He hardly spoke good English and keep saying sorry....finally got my refund after the dummy figured out how to do it. Recommend new management read more

if I create this a zero, I would I am a fan of chicken express and often when I don't want to cook I will stop by and grab a three-piece. however, today I picked up food on my way home and it was gross almost as though the chicken had been sitting under a light the whole entire day I asked for fries that did not have salt. I was given old fries that look like and felt like they had been sitting out for hours. When I reached out to the manager Alex and explained to him that I had gotten home, chicken express is kind of far and there's a lot of traffic. He basically told me well there's nothing I can do. At this point I will never go there again and I would advise others not to also. read more

I ordered 15 chicken strips with gravy and rolls and a family mashed potatoes through Grub Hub today for home delivery. When I opened the bags, there was no gravy for the chicken or potatoes. I immediately texted the Grub Hub driver and he texted back that CE said they had included it. I then tried for 15 minutes to call the restaurant and it just rang and rang. I then went online to see if there was another way to contact them and found nothing. I guess negative reviews are the only way. $35 for dry chicken and potatoes...SWEET! read more

We love it, eat there all the time! The folks who work there are all friendly and super nice. Their sweet tea rocks! read more

Service was quick no issue. But man idk if this is how their sweet tea normally taste but wayyyyy to sweet. Also the mac and cheese is the worst mac and cheese i've ever tasted in my life. No exaggeration either. Absolutely horrible. Chicken was great and so was their buscuit. But half of my meal sucking especially the beverage. Definitely a little disappointed. That mac and cheese. Gross you guys really need a new recipe. read more

My family and I eat here probably every other week or so. As far as food quality goes, it's great. We've never had a complaint about the food itself. My issue, for the third time now, is accuracy of the order. Each time we have an order of more than 3 meals, one order is wrong. And that order is always mine. This time was the biggest miss. The strips weren't spicy, my okra was missing, and I got a roll instead of a biscuit. I did get jalapeno ranch, so that's positive. You may ask yourself, "If you have had this issue before, why didn't you check the order?". You see, I did check MOST of the order. I checked the top 3 boxes in the bag then I assumed the bottom box, which was mine, was right. I assumed wrong. Basically, the food is good just make sure to check EVERYTHING!! read more

The chicken was fresh and delicious! Food came out extremely fast! The customer service was A1!

The customer service is the absolute best! And the food is soooo good. The fish is made to order and none of the food is greasy at all! Oh my gosh I'm coming here more often read more

this is getting worse and worse. I ordered a side of fries and this it's what I get? I'm don't with chicken expresa. they are the worst read more

Chicken Express - Literally a hand full of fried. This is bullshit! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Austin, Texas

Was visiting Austin and decided to try Chicken Express and was glad I did! I thought it was really good. I ordered the catfish fillets and and they were hot but not greasy at all and so delicious -- much better than Popeye's. They had EVERYTHING from tenders to fried chicken livers and gizzards! The mashed potatoes were served with real chicken gravy -- not the brownish stuff KFC serves. The hush puppies were good as well. I even liked the lemonade -- it wasn't over sweetened or acidic -- just right. The servers were excellent too -- courteous, friendly and it was fast. I will definitely be back when I'm in Austin! read more

Love the spicy chicken tenders and the corn nuggets and the hush puppies! Chicken TendersCorn Nuggets

The food is decent but you'd better check your bag for the correct or missing contents. The resturarant is notorious for shorting orders. This isn't a rare occurrence. It happens enough that it is a chronic problem. The failure is entirely crappy store MANAGEMENT. From now on, when I'm in the drive thru line, I will sit there and take my sweet time checking the contents of my order while you sit in your car getting irritated. read more

Really great chicken and gizzards here. Better than the Lakeway location somehow. Share the recipe with them!

This place is awesome! The owner is incredible, definitely a family establishment. The food was great and the atmosphere was too! Definitely would recommend!! read more

You know you're in trouble when the best part of a fried chicken strip four-piece lunch is the cole slaw. It was good. Most Express franchises are consistently good. Here the strips were two layers of batter with about 1/8" chicken meat between. It's like the manager took chicken meat and ran it through an old fashioned wringer to flatten the meat and make it go farther. Mostly breading. Ick! If I'm going to eat unhealthy at least give me some meat to dip into my white gravy! It's also phenomenal how much styrofoam this place uses. That made me feel even more guilty. read more

Chicken Express - Dining in - Chicken Wings Near Me - Austin, Texas

Food is ok but service isn't. Person taking order did fine but when I got to the window, the girl was literally eating a piece of chicken in one hand and reached for my card in the other. So disgusting. Especially during COVID. Food was cold this time but didn't feel like turning around so just popped it in the air fryer. read more

Really good fried chicken and chicken strips and gravy. Italian style green beans were good too. Service and cleanliness were both AWESOME! This location is nestled right off of the main road but like everything else in this neighborhood, it is hidden behind the trees, so slow down and keep an eye out for it! Down side - pretty loud inside for such a small place. I would also stay away from the "hot wings." Although they were pretty large and meaty, they were nothing like you would imagine normal hot wings to be like. There was no sauce on them and they were actually kind of crispy. Had a mild spice to them but they really seemed more like regular fried chicken without the breading. Looked kinda weird. read more
