    Happy Chick meal
    Mary L.

    It's a chicken joint, with tenders, sandwiches, salads, and a decent variety of sides. I've often driven past it on my way to T22, and wondered whether to give it a try. Today, with a BOGO coupon in hand, I did. It's a counter-order fast-food type setup, but I thought it strange that the big menu board didn't mention prices. I had to search around to find that info, in a battered 8x10 frame on the wall. Hmm. $13 for a meal of 3 tenders and fries, with no drink or biscuit included? Seemed a bit much. I got mine to go, and asked for one order of original and one of spicy tenders, but at home, neither of us could tell the difference, so I guess they didn't give me spicy. The tenders varied in size from big to skimpy, but were fresh and tasty--though I would have liked to try the spicy type. The fries were also good, a nice medium cut, in between the dreaded shoestring and chunky steak fry. The sauces we got were good, but if you use a lot, looks like they charge "Just 99 cents!" for an extra tablespoonful. With my BOGO, the price seemed about right. But at their posted price point, (which seems designed to go up at a moment's notice) I'm much more likely to spend that much for table service and excellent chicken a few blocks further north on Burnet--or half that for Cane's or Popeyes, if I want to order at a counter and eat out of a box.

    5* to Matt for his friendly service and great music in this little chicken joint on Burnet. While I admit I originally had set out on foot to Fly Rite (now closed) I was relieved to see this sign and enjoyed a delicious chicken sandwich while I was getting my car serviced at the nearby Mazda dealership! A plethora of sauces offered, I enjoyed the avacado plabano.

    Quick bite to eat at this small chicken shack. I got the happy chick which consisted of 3 tenders choice of original or spicy fries and one extra side; I chose a side of Mac and cheese. The tenders were very crispy and fresh. The tenders were seasoned well. I opted for the spicy tenders however, they were not spicy at all. I liked the flavor of the white Mac and cheese but unfortunately it was served Luke warm. The fries were good (I like battered fries). They have a lot of sauce options. I had the honey mustard which was delicious (tasted home made) and garlic ranch (good but wasn't super garlicky as I hoped). Overall this was a nice little quick meal and if I come back to town I would come back.

    10/10 this place hit the spot for my chicken tender craving Tenders: quality white meat chicken, no weird gristle or tendons, meat was tender and seems like they fried it just for my order Fries: well seasoned and crispy, can't ask for anything more Mac and cheese: good cheese flavor, I liked it Wish they had prices on the menu- my plate came out to $11 after tax and tip which I think is fine for how quality each piece of my meal was

    So good. This is the spicy/hot chicken. Wasn't nashville spicy, but it had a good kick. I wish they gave more fries.

    I'd recommend trying once to cross it off the list. Overall the quality is good but I wouldn't be coming back. Here's why. 1. The spicy isn't spicy at all. I'm now curious to see the difference between the regular and spicy. 2. But not curious enough to pay these insane prices. Seriously this is the most I've ever paid for 3 tenders and a chicken sandwich. And while good, there really wasn't anything special or unique about it that warranted such outrageous prices. 3. Service sucked. For these prices and having the word happy in your name, I expect joker smiles and energy. The dude did not smile, nor ask us if it's our first time, or explain the menu, or engage in any form. I get it, it's chicken tenders, I can figure it out but I have a feeling the sauces are a big selling point and may be the special thing about this place? Wouldn't know from this guy. 4. After looking at the many sauces and not receiving too much guidance, we decided on our safety ones - jalapeno ranch and chipotle ranch. Jalapeno ranch was pretty good. Chipotle ranch was a bit runny and the consistency did not work with the tenders. I saw some cool ones like Raspberry chipotle and avocado poblano but didn't get to try them. Overall, it's worth trying once. But I'm sticking to Chick-fil-A for my spicy sandwiches for over half the price and triple the taste and T22/Popeyes for spicy tenders.

Finally I stopped by with a friend after a long bike ride and we took home a whole chicken to split. Um. Everything was DELICIOUS! The whole chicken came with soft corn tortillas, salsas, and a side each of beans and rice. An grilled/roasted (aka slightly charred) onion was wrapped up in parchment with the chicken, absorbing yummy chicken flavors that was pulled apart for tacos. Everything was flavorful and the beans were studded with bacon chunks in it. Yes, it was that good! The chicken was really flavorful. Very savory and perfectly charred. . It's mesquite grilled chicken but I don't think I've had anything like it.. Unlike typical American barbecue, this wasn't sweet at all. Some of the white meat pieces were a bit dry, so I ate them with the beans and all was well.

As a coleslaw connoisseur, I get coleslaw as a side whenever it's offered. The slaw here tasted like it was out of a tub. Similar to the sandwich, it was very watery and I didn't want to finish it before we left. All that said, I will be returning here and will probably order something totally different next time. This place has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Our host and waiter were incredibly attentive and kind to us on the patio, and I enjoyed a chat with some of the wait staff as I was leaving. Really - the staff here was incredible.

I was…read morereminiscing about some memorable fried chicken I had in Tennessee, so we decided to stop in Austin and finally see what makes Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken so "world famous." We started with the fried green tomatoes. They didn't quite beat the unforgettable ones from The Front Porch Cafe at Dollywood, but they were still tasty and we happily finished them. I ordered the 2-piece dark meat while my cousin got the 2-piece white meat, both with baked beans, slaw, and white bread. The baked beans and slaw were both satisfyingly delicious. When my plate arrived with a thigh and two legs, I thought I had ordered wrong! Our wonderful server, Kamber, explained that the legs were especially small that day, so they have to serve two instead. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and delicious, and I loved learning they use peanut oil. The fresh, natural quality definitely came through. And placing the white bread underneath the chicken? Brilliant--it soaks up the extra oil! Service was fast, friendly, and efficient even though it was a busy Friday lunch hour. Amber was great about answering our questions and regularly checked up on us. She even introduced us to their homemade Chess pie--a classic rich southern custard dessert pie--which we were too full to try this time, next time for sure. We'll be back, especially since there's another location in San Antonio. Next visit, I'm coming hungry for the fried okra, mac & cheese, and seasoned fries! Just wish they also have corn on the cob and corn bread as other sides options. Southern fried chicken craving: officially satisfied.

    A little hidden gem up north!…read more I got a chicken sandwich, seating hot fries, and a fountain drink. Chicken sandwich was amazing. I loved it. Juicy chicken. Tasty sauce. Fresh soft bun. But those fries. Man, they sneak up on you. The first bite, I didn't notice any heat. The second fry, ya, they're spicy, by the 4th fry, whoa! Ya, they're hot. And I was all over it. The fries were so good my lips started to burn a little. It's a bit of a drive. But I do shop at the Sprouts in Cedar Park, which isn't that much further away.

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.
