We came here as part of a Yelp experience, but I ordered a combo for P2 to try out more of their food. We ended up getting their chicken fingers with fried pickles and butter beer. First off, the service was good and we would give it 4 stars, but the food was lacking and more deserving of 2 stars. Our cashier was knowledgeable about the menu and patiently answered our questions. We were given a soda cup with a few pumps of vanilla and caramel syrups, then told to go get root beer to make our butter beer. Honestly, not a big deal, but we just didn't expect to have to put everything together. Our food came out super fast, about a 5-minute wait. The fried pickles looked appetizing at first (they're huge), but they use pickle chips and a ton of breading which affects the texture of the fried pickles. We were looking for a satisfying crunch to our pickles but instead it was mushy. The chicken tenders were also lacking the crispiness you'd expect from fried chicken fingers. The breading didn't seem to have much flavor, nor did the sauce they gave us. The chicken was no doubt tender and juicy. Happy hour prices give 1/2 off appetizers. But for the price we paid for everything, we didn't feel like it matched what we were given. We love to support small businesses and everyone deserves a second chance, but unfortunately this was a miss for us.

Came as a customer, left feeling like family! Thanks Nicole for the laughs, warmth, conversation, and good food First things first, this place is CLEAN.! I came in and was greeted with a smile. There is good parking and seating, so that makes me happy. I came during happy hour even though I didn't take advantage of it. I will definitely BUY a drink next time . They have a dirty soda menu (very unique option). What I ordered: White Way of delight Dirty soda: TASTY. They ran out of peach flavor, but it was still really really good. I didn't want to put it down The classic daddy combo with seasoned fries: Next time, I'll get mild. My sandwhich was good and I like how all of the ingredients flowed together and didn't overpower the next. My sandwhich remained intact while eating. I had Daddy's sauce for my fries, but I didn't need it. It was a nice addition because the flavor wasn't super strong. It was just right Fried pickles (not pictured): seasoned to perfection, hot, and crispy ! Best I've had in a while War and Peach cider: listen, it was so good I almost took a bow at the machine! This was gooddd. That peach and vanilla with a little tart sprinkle make the perfect drink. Thanks for the sample Sidenote: check out the happy hour and ask about bingo night I will be back

I took my Fiance with me to visit Daddy's chicken shack last night. Since we're in Round Rock, I hadn't heard of them before but was excited to checkout a new hot chicken place. No line upon arrival at 8:15 and we were quickly given a friendly and warm welcome. It took us a minute to figure out what we wanted and we ended up getting the 512 (special) and also the nashville daddy but in a combo with fried pickles and Dr P. I appreciated that we could get fried pickles instead of fries as we were trying to figure out how to work the fried pickles into the order without ordering too much and that worked out well. On the Nashville, we chose the level III hot seasoning and then also got a side of jalapeno ranch with it. The restaurant has some cool and interesting decor and there are several tvs and also one of those newish self pour beer machines too: it looked like it had a hazy and one other option but since it was a weeknight and I wasn't drinking, I didn't pay super close attention. It took about 10-15 minutes to get our food and wow, the presentation on the 512 was awesome. It was huge and we weren't sure how to tackle it but I just decided to dive right in and take the biggest bite I could resulting in bbq sauce all over my beard lol. The 512 had bacon, onion strings and cheese in addition to the sauce. She tried the nashville first and said it had nice spice, which coming from her, scared me a bit as she can handle it a bit better than I can. After a few bites, we swapped sandwiches and I tried the nashville and she was right. It started warm and then kept heating up after I finished swallowing so I decided the best course of action was just to keep eating since it was already burning. They did have one even hotter option that I imagine spice lovers would likely enjoy. The fried pickles were pretty big slices with batter; maybe just a tad too much batter but dipped in ranch, there were none left behind. The service was really good and above expectations throughout: the person who helped take our order was friendly and helpful and also came to check on us several times during the meal to ask us how everything was and also see if we needed anything and then also the Manager stopped by and we had a fun chat with her about our meal and she left us with a smile

Yum! My favorite was the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Hot spice level was perfect for me. We also tried the chicken biscuit, which I was happy they still served at lunch. Only con for me is that it isn't in my neighborhood so I will come back when I'm in the area!

Amazing service, surprisingly cool vibes inside, and I'll say pretty good chicken, but not the best in town. I was most impressed with the service as I was walked through the menu, provided recommendations, and subsequently checked on a couple times after getting my food... but never in a nosey way. I also really liked the inside, with its numerous tv's and self pour draft beer station, giving it a pseudo sports bar feel. I got the Nashville chicken combo, and wished I went for the hot, because the medium spice level was, but wasn't as hot as advertised. The chicken itself wasn't the juiciest, but definitely better than fast food. If you're local to the Leander area I'd say give this place a go, however if you're in Austin and this is a hike for you, stick the to the tried and true Tumble 22, Gus's, or Spicy Boys.

Stopped by after church and we really enjoyed ourselves!! The customer service ALONE is reason enough to give this place a try. The staff is amazingly sweet, friendly and knowledgeable. They practically spoiled my little with activity pages and crayons. They have board games and it is decorated so cute and it's really clean. The dirty soda is phenomenal please try one of the flavors it's only a $1 extra and I'm not even a soda drinker. The food came quickly and was delicious. I definitely have a new spot to go to when I'm craving chicken. They have strips, bites, sandwiches and salads. So happy we found out about this place through Yelp!!

I visited Daddy's Chicken Shack just before Noon on a Sunday and was greeted by a friendly young lady immediately. I ordered the 12-piece Nashville chicken bites meal since it would give leave me with some left overs to take home. They definitely cook everything fresh cause it took close to 10 minutes to get my food (and there were a few other people ahead of me as well). But while waiting I looked around, filled my cup of soda, and discovered they have a self serve beer tap with several beers and cider (which has a happy hour during the week). When my name was called, my tray off food was walked out to my table so I didn't have to get up. The 12 pieces of chicken bites, 2 sauces (daddys sauce and jalapeño ranch), and seasoned fries filled the tray and were hot and fresh. They offer 4 levels of hotness for the chicken and i picked level 3 (Hot) and at first bite i didn't think it was all that spicy but within seconds the heat took over my mouth in a fantastic way! The daddy sauce adds a nice creamy flavor to the chicken and the jalapeño ranch really adds a very hot kick (i think hotter than the hot level of the chicken). So i mostly ate the chicken with the daddy's sauce and dipped the delicious fries into the jalepeno ranch. The fries had just the right crunch and softness in the middle and a lot of flavor deep fried into them. I like how they use a sauce or oil for the spice and not just a powder (like some places) cause it doesn't make a mess on your fingers. I hope they open more locations closer to Austin, since it was a 27 minute drive from the Domain area to Leander, and I would definitely be a repeat customer if it is closer.

I only have positive things to say about this place! Me and my boyfriend came here for dinner and we both thought the food and service was incredible. You can really tell that they care about the food that they're serving here. The fries were seriously perfectly cooked. The chicken was so crispy and the batter stayed on while eating. The slaw and sauces were great and we enjoyed the fried pickles. Only critique is that we wished the fries maybe had a little more seasoning on them. The owner came over to see how we were enjoying everything and we had such a nice conversation! She is seriously the sweetest and has the best heart. I will definitely be back soon!

Tried Daddy's Chicken Shack for the first time this afternoon. I ordered the Nashville fingers with fries. The chicken was tender and crispy. I liked the batter that the chicken was lightly coated with. I was not a fan of the honey mustard nor the jalapeño sauces that I selected. The fries were tasty and crunchy. I also ordered the fried pickles. I found that they had way too much batter that didn't have much taste and I did not care for the flavor of the pickles. The staff were friendly and were attentive to cleaning up tables when guests left. The restaurant had tv's for watching a little Sunday afternoon football. I would go back for the chicken and fries, but will skip the fried pickles.

My wife and I had an unbelievable experience at Daddy's Chicken Shack. First of all, the customer service was amazing. Everyone is extremely friendly and we had great conversations with the owner. When it comes to the food, the taste was top notch. We love spicy and the chicken had the perfect spice level (you can customize to your preference). The loaded fries were huge and delicious. The fried pickles were flavorful. And on top of that, the venue is full of TVs and playing sports games. I'm a big football and basketball fan so it was perfect. Very spacious inside as well. Everything was fantastic and we definitely plan to come back!

Second visit. I got the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich with heat level 1.I got the pressure cooker version thay is lightly breaded. It was quite good. Once I got used to the slightly different texture, I really liked it. It doesn't have the thick crunchy breading the way some chicken patty sandwiches do. Its kind of a thinner breading, but quite good. I also got the loaded seasoned fries. They were fresh and hot, and good. Finally, I also tried the Funnel Waffle. Form factor of a waffle, but texture and taste of a funnel cake, with a side of syrup. Really good. Service was good. I ordered at a touch screen kiosk, and they brought my food to the table. I will call the service good. Ambiance is simple, casual fast food.

My son and I ate here for the first time, but I don't think we will be returning. The store is clean, the staff is very friendly, but the food is mediocre. It's no different than Dave's Hot Chicken, or Tumble 22. The food wasn't bad, but nothing special. The season fries were all right at best, though they do not have seasoning on the outside of them just in the batter. They do serve beer here, that you pay for with a card and then dispense your own. My son had the chicken sandwich and hot strips. I had the Nashville hot sandwich with extra pickles. The pickles are sweet, which was disappointing. They add slaw to the sandwich which is very watery so it made my bun very soggy. I would suggest getting the slaw on the side and not on your sandwich.

Daddy's is the BEST! Mouthwatering chicken sandwiches, sauces, and perfect fries. The staff and owners are the sweetest, most wonderful people. Food is just delicious. Very family friendly atmosphere and immaculately clean. They offer catering, too!
