I came here for lunch with friends, a late, late, late lunch around 2.30ish. It's a low-key place,…read morefast casual vibes, very basic. It was empty save for a large catering order being worked on and just one staff member, so it took a bit to get our order in, and even have our presence acknowledged, the last bit being the only complaint. Let's talk food then. Our group all ordered the zinger, a fried chicken sandwich along with fries and mozz sticks. The mozz sticks are stock restaurant depot caliber. Good for their purpose. The fries, not sure if house made but damn did they deliver the bite. Crispy outside and mushy soft on the inside. Can the chicken live up to that? HELL YEAH and moar! God damn was the chicken done right. The bird should be honored to die if it goes in this restaurant's fryer. Awesome crust, juicy inside and topped with a yummy sauce, this was one of the best fried chicken sammys I've had in a long while. Sincerely, wholeheartedly recommended!

Tried the new zabihah halal fried chicken under the new management and it's incredible. At the time…read moreof this review, the fried chicken isn't listed on Uber Eats or their in store menu but it's available and absolutely worth the 20 to 30 minute wait. The chicken is crispy, juicy, and spicy but not too spicy. Hands down the best halal fried chicken in Austin. My kiddo doesn't like spicy food but he will eat this chicken, taking huge sips of water in between bites. That is a testament to how good the chicken is! As far as I know, this is the only spot in Austin serving Middle Eastern broasted fried chicken. Halal Wings is probably the next closest option but this is better in every measurable way. I think there are just a few standout items here. Besides the fried chicken, I have also heard good things about the Zinger and the chicken tenders. The fries are average but get the job done. That said, the overall dine in experience leaves a lot to be desired. As we were walking in, a guy walking out warned us they are very rude here. Inside the place was empty and remained so, except one other family came in to eat. Most of the tables were dirty. There was only one person working and doing everything so I'm giving her some grace on both the mess and the unfriendly vibes. With that said, the ambiance, cleanliness, and the service do not match the menu prices. We will keep coming back for the fried chicken but definitely not to dine in. Hopefully this will be added to Uber Eats soon. Ratings: Cleanliness 2/10 Prices 3/10 Ambiance 3/10 Fried Chicken 10/10

Chill spot with surprisingly good Korean food…read more Great late-night spot to eat with friends and family. Legit casual comfort Korean food and a few Japanese options. There are two private karaoke rooms. Service was friendly and attentive. We started with some pork belly skewers / yakitori. There's a minimum of two. Decent-sized juicy flavorful pieces of pork belly. The spicy pork was good; tender and flavorful, but it was a bit oily on the bottom. The yangnum chicken wings had a good, bold flavor and were fairly large. The soy garlic could have had more sauce. We enjoyed the wings, but they could be juicier. It was a bit pricey at $28 for 15 wings. Definitely a great late night food option.

The lovely cashier was super helpful and immediately asked if we'd been here before. Since it was our first time, she went through the menu and its entirety. She suggested the chicken tenders for my friend however I went for the bone in wings. They come with or without sauce. They have numerous of daiquiris both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. I ordered the chicken, which is five wings that come with fries and a fried pickle. I added a bottle of water and this ran me a little less than $17. They put your order in for you and then you can make your way outside to one of the many seating areas. We chose to sit on the patio. I love everything about this! Especially the fries. They look like a crossbreed between a curly fry and a naked potato wedgy. My wings were not only sauced with the buffalo sauce, but they came with a ranch drizzle. I also received a small container of ranch on the side. My friend got the spicy garlic Parmesan chicken tenders (2) and a Coke on the side. The wings were meaty. The sauce had flavor, and the ranch was amazing and comparable to Wingstop ranch. I can eat those french fries all day. And the fried pickle was the added touch though a bit spicy for my liking, but it was still a great addition. I will return to try different options.

Outstanding French fries. Huge wings!…read moreSauce flavors are mediocre at best (we had bbq, spicy parm, buffalo medium) The daiquiri (a $20 mistake) tasted like something I should clean the bathroom with (the dodo bird (creamsicle)) i'm not sure if it's the alcohol base or the artificial sweeteners in the flavor, but it was just gross.

I really did not appreciate that the waitress did not clearly explain the water bottle situation…read morewhen I asked for clarification. I have been to the Airport location before, where each guest received one complimentary bottle of water. Since it had been a while since my last visit to KBBQ, I wasn't sure whether the bottled water would be complimentary or if we would be charged for it. When the waitress brought out the bottled water, I asked whether it was free. She simply said, "No," so we asked for tap water instead. She gave us cups, but then told us the restaurant did not have tap water. I explained that if the bottled water was not complimentary, I did not want to pay for something that most restaurants provide for free, it's the principle, all restaurants will at least have tap water. We decided to keep only one bottle, and it turned out that the first bottle was complimentary after all. Thanks for not explaining simple things clearly to your guests and made the experience not very pleasant.

A friendly gentleman, who I presume was the owner, greeted us at the front counter. He mentioned a couple of things they were testing at the moment and while we studied the menu, he brought out some samples. We ended up loving the cherry bbq sauce and my boys both selected that for their chicken. I chose to try their maple gochujang. Caspers has a few two top tables where the boys played a game of connect 4 while we waited. About 15 minutes later our food came out, including some house made cherry limeade and peach lemonade. We took it to some nearby picnic tables and dug in. I'm happy to say, the chicken was outstanding! All three of us were very impressed. I'd like to get my hands on a bottle of the sauce! That cherry bbq would be amazing on a smoked pork butt or some ribs. The maple gochujang was sweet and mildly spicy. The crinkle fries were also crispy, hot, and delicious. We washed it all down with those homemade drinks! Home run!

Romen is 23 and I need that on record because I refuse to believe someone that young is allowed to have this much control over a room. Came in for drinks and somehow left feeling like I had just met the mayor, my therapist, and my long-lost best friend all in one shift. Romen was our bartender and I genuinely cannot explain the experience. First of all, this man has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen behind a bar. Like, sir??? I came here for a drink, not to start rethinking my entire personality and whether I should move cities and start over. The service was genuinely exceptional. He was attentive without hovering, hilarious without being annoying, and somehow remembered everything we ordered while simultaneously making everyone around the bar feel like they were his favorite customer. At one point, I watched Romen handle a situation so smoothly that I genuinely thought, "This man has either worked in customer service for 40 years or has survived something absolutely unimaginable." He looked like he could talk someone down from a breakup, a panic attack, and a tax audit all in the same breath. The funniest part is that he has this innocent, sweet smile while saying the most OUT-OF-POCKET things imaginable. I was not emotionally prepared. One minute you're casually ordering a drink, the next you're laughing so hard you're choking on air and questioning if he's legally allowed to be that funny while pouring tequila. 10/10 service. 10/10 personality. 11/10 smile.Would absolutely come back and let Romen financially ruin me one cocktail at a time. If you see Romen behind the bar, sit down immediately. You are in good hands.
