Finally they have opened!!....Have been stalking there 6th Street IG since it was mentioned...So much closer and convenient for us coming from Manor...Not that we dont love the Downtown Location...Its the Downtown part for us...Place is small on the inside, but have ample seating out doors...Service was great...after I ordered I was waiting for my grub to hit the table and a new comer hits the counter....The cashier/server was super knowledgeable about everything on the menu and made several suggestions based on her own personal preferences...Shout out to her for taking the time to explain the menu options...Not sure of her name, but I visited on the 27th about 1130ish...On to the food...Tray hit the table with the Stock Happy Chick....3 tenders, cream corn, Fries and some Honey Mustard...Everything was piping hot...Always a Plus for me...I truly love there cream corn...and the seasoned fries are great...Tenders were big, crisp and Uber juicy. Wife was jealous that I had the chance to hit this place first, but we will be back for sure....and we need to bring the granddaughter, as she is the Tender Pro and I will get her option in my next review. read more

The first time I tried it out it was very tasty and very fresh. I had it again this evening and it was disappointing to say the least. The breading fell off the chicken and tasted old and dry. The fries tasted just reheated. You just lost a potentially loyal customer. read more

Hot garbage. Went to the new location off of research and the fries smelled fishy and tasted weird. Had to throw most of it away, save your money read more

Good chicken tenders I got grilled, and the fries were amazing. The sauces are bit pricey for the taste but aren't bad just definitely not worth a dollar a shot to try them all. They didn't give me my creamed corn with my meal so I was disappointed with that. Will try again because the chicken is good and juicy and we did like the sandwhich a lot and the fries are great just didn't get the full value of what we paid. read more

Great food! I loved that they did grilled chicken tenders. The place was clean, and had a great patio.

I drove by here a while back and finally took the plunge to Happy Chicks. It's a fast casual chicken place with some good sauces to offer. The young lady behind the counter, (Amy?) had said if I was on sixth street that their OG location was there, I loved the food so I might have to see for myself. read more

My favorite vegan BBQ "chicken" sandwich with French fries, and a fabulous Happy salad as well. They also have a great butter pie, too!!

Love love love Happy Chicks! It's become a tradition to take my high school age chicken-connoisseur son here. He says it's the best chicken around! And trust me this kid is picky. read more

Nice place! Fries are super good as well. Indoors seating is very limited, but outdoor patio is nice! A great meal for post or pre game day :) read more

Simple and tasty! Got the chicken sandwich and my wife got the chicken wrap and they were both delicious. Very dog friendly, Im not sure if it was an employee or the owner, but when they say our doggie with us, he brought out a bowl of water and gave her chicken strip. I'm not gonna say that he's going to do this for everyone's dog cause our dog is extra cute hehe. JK. In all seriousness, tasty food, well priced, and excellent service! read more

I took my little ones here last night after swim class and we had a GREAT experience! The lady working the counter was amazing and so very fun and generous with the kids. She has two little #1 fans now! We had the nuggets, fries, lemonades, and chocolate chip cookies - a kids dream! Thanks for the fast, friendly, fun, delicious experience, Happy Chicks! We'll be back! read more

Such a cool spot! It was about $30 with a tip for 2 meals and a 1 drink. The fried tenders are super yummy!!! They were fried perfectly and not too greasy- the fries on the other hand were greasy and more sweet than salty. Most of the entrees are served with cream of corn WHICH WAS AMAZING and probably my favorite thing. They have outdoor seating and play fun music, so it's a fun vibe for a sunny Austin day. They have tons of "happy sauces" the buffalo ranch was my fav! There is parking available to customers, indoor/outdoor seating, and the staff was super friendly. read more

Happy Chicks - Top is spicy tenders, bottom is 2 spicy 1 reg tender - Chicken Shop Near Me - Austin, Texas

Friendly service, they are chicken strips are super crispy and the fries are delicious. I will say the fries were a little skimpy and paying for a combo over $10 you would expect just a little bit more fries but that is the only negative thing I have to say. The meal was delicious and filling, would definitely go back! read more

Happy Chicks - Happy Chick Combo- original - Chicken Shop Near Me - Austin, Texas

One Friday night after I made a super healthy meal, my partner and I were sitting on the couch watching a movie. I hear a knock at the door. He gets up to answer the door and there is a bag waiting for us. He ordered the happy chicks 6 piece tenders, fries, Mac and cheese and roasted corn. It came with 2 side sauces that he chose. The chicken tenders were crispy and still hot. They might have been the best tenders I have ever had. The Mac and cheese was creamy and had some bacon on the top. The fries were ok. Some of them were soggy and some of them were still crispy. I think fries that travel in a closed container is difficult to judge. The roasted corn was different. A little runny but had great flavor. I wish the container of sauce was a bit bigger. I didn't know there was an option to order more sauce. Last but not least he ordered to slices of the gooey butter cake. Now I have been in the restaurant biz for quite some time and I have never tried anything like this. The crumb bottom and the gooey cake on the top...mmm. I would order a bigger slice next time! I can't wait to return or have my partner secretly order again! read more

Crispy chicken and delicious sauces. Fries are seasoned really well. Also the sides are pretty good too.

I just want to give a big shout out to Happy Chicks on Burnet. They were opened right after the horrible snow and ice storm and we're completely slammed with orders. The woman out front was amazing throughout an obviously stressful day - I think her name is Tasha? She never skipped a beat, and through it all, she was professional and kind. My heart when out to her and the kitchen staff. Thank you for feeding us after a really crappy week of no power no water. read more

Everything was amazing except for the creamed corn which was honestly pretty terrible. Which was a big surprise because everything else was top notch! Would order again, just sub something else for the corn. read more

Had them at ACL and they were so good I had to go to the restaurant to get more! Definitely try the vegan tenders with the pineapple s&s, it's to die for! read more

First let me say I LOVE Happy Chicks! I would dine-in almost weekly before the whole pandemic situation. The reason for the 4 star review, however, is based on my experience getting take-out for the first time. I know it is mostly a packaging issue and the serving is probably the same both dine-in and take-out, but the amount of fries in my box seemed so little that it almost broke my heart as I opened my box. Haha! Maybe putting them in a separate container will counter the illusion that they are so few?? Anyhow, love this place. read more

Happy Chicks - Serving of fries looks scarce due to how they are just thrown in there. :( - Chicken Shop Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is my favorite chicken joint in Austin. The spicy tenders are hands down the best. I also love their sandwich. The bun is delicious, chicken is tender and the breading is crispy, and I love that you can pick your own sauces to find the best combo. Also, their fries are incredible. I'm very sad to have moved out of Austin, Happy Chicks will be missed! read more

I ordered the 4 piece meal that comes with 4 chicken tenders, fries, mac n cheese, and corn. It was $12.99. To start off with the good, the chicken was amazing. The dipping sauces I chose (garlic ranch and honey sriracha) were very delicious too. The fries were nicely seasoned. As for the bad, the Mac n cheese and corn were both served in bowls that I can only describe as "bowls for ants". They were tiny sample-sized bowls. Think a bowl for condiments. I'll be back for the chicken but still mad about the bowl sizes. read more

We ordered from Happy Chicks for delivery and the delivery was way late. The problem was not with Happy Chicks, but with the delivery service. But I barked at the Happy Chicks guy about it, who responded with patience and courtesy. Not only that--he arranged for a major reduction in the cost of our meal. i love the food and was most appreciative of the kind response. Next time we will pick up! read more

What a total rip off! Long story short, this place is a joke. $10 lesson for believing the counter person. "I can get you nine big nuggets". Whatever! I used the sauce on Popeyes and gave the baby nuggets away. read more

This was sooooo good! The chicken was perfectly crispy and the fries were amazing. I got the original chicken sandwich with siracha on the side. read more

First time visit. The fried chicken options were the best -- so were the fries with their unique coating. Didn't care that much for the grilled wrap. read more

Ordered a Happy Salad with chicken tenders for lunch on 10/1. The salad was fresh with tasty ingredients, quite good. But, there was something off in the breading for the tenders. Tasted moldy, like the chicken had been frozen and then thawed for some time in a refrigerator before cooking. The creamed corn with green chiles had a good flavor but was closer to a soup than a side vegetable. Too much sauce and not enough corn. Very small place. Takeout is the way to go. Despite a friendly staff, nothing remarkable here. There are too many chicken joints on Burnet Rd. to justify another try, read more

I live in San Antonio but always try and stop here when I'm in Austin. The fries have a seasoning that's sweet and savory. The sauces list is epic and the gravy makes local Texans proud I like the cocktails, the last time I went the margarita was kind of odd but it's always been on point every other visit. read more

Online ordering options are not clear and staff was rude. Food was ok but not great.

Love it! First time today, I had the 2 tenders basket, one original, one spicy with fries. I just went with the regular buffalo sauce-Boy! Is it potent-but so flavorful you just can't help but keep dipping. And they're local-I'll be back! read more

Most delicious chicken tenders and fries I've ever had. Period. When you bite into the chicken, it has that wonderfully satisfying crunch. And the chicken is tender and moist and perfectly seasoned. read more

We came here as we were getting our car inspected so we weren't sure what to expect, but I feel led to write a review because the service was amazing. The lady who took our order was very kind and helpful. The food is really good too--the fries especially!--but the service is what made it over the top. We will definitely be back. read more

Awesome grilled chicken salad. On my diet and fabulous! Great people too. I love Austin! read more

Gotta say first food wasn't bad, chicken was of good quality. The bread left somthing to be desired, but all and all not bad. Here's my main gripe, $16 for a chicken Sandwich, fries, and a drink. Also, very few fries, I'd compare them to the smallest order of fries you can get at Popeyes. Just expected more. read more

Very good fried chicken sandwich - loved the batter they used and the chicken was perfectly cooked. Great fries. A little loud on the patio

We were in need of a fast dinner option with holiday events and this hit the spot. Delicious! All of the chicken was cooked perfectly. The salad was great and sides were awesome too. Overall the quality was surprising good for a quick chicken spot. We will definitely be back! read more

I come here a lot on my lunch breaks it's very very good and fast! Unique flavors, the fries are kinda sweet though? I dug it but some may not. The cream corn was good but the last time I went it was super watered down. They nailed it the first time, def worth a try. read more

The chicken is great, and the mac and cheese look and taste like it's baked in an oven with extra cheese and a nice crust on top...!mmmm if you haven't had them you're missing out. read more

Delicious chicken but you should write your order and hand it to the server because the music is so loud you will not be able to hear what he says and he cannot hear what you say. But the important thing is everything is real cool and hip. As long as the people working there are digging the music who cares if they can hear the customer? read more

Horrible food and even worse service. Person at the counter was not wearing a mask! Will not return!!

ordered ahead for a senior citizen, food was extremely dry,,..will not be going there again. chicken was too dry to eat.
