    Fried 2 Tenders Plate
    Kelsey D.

    Big fan of Nashville hot chicken, however have never tried the Hattie B's location in South Austin until this visit. The parking was a little wonky, with limited parking options in both the front and back, but I was able to find a spot at the tail-end of the dinner rush. My friend and I ordered quickly at the counter, and sat at one of Hattie B's outdoor tables to enjoy the Spring night. I ordered the quarter bird dark plate, medium spice level, with pimento Mac & cheese. The Mac & cheese was creamy with just a hint of pimento peppers, and the fried chicken was hot and crunchy, although a bit salty and less spicy than expected. (Next time I'll probably move up a level to "hot".) My friend ordered a fried two tenders plate, also medium spice level, and fries. We enjoyed the crispy crinkle-cut fries with Hattie B's special seasoning. We chose the Nashville Comeback Sauce for our dipping sauce, which is like a mustard-ketchup-mayo aioli: pretty good! Liked how quick it was to order and receive our food, and the perfect portion size for a lunch or dinner. Pro tip -- check out the cute hot chicken wallpaper in the restroom. Adorable! Will be back the next time I'm craving hot chicken.

    Loves: the warm welcome, fast service, fun music at a volume where you can still talk with your party, a number of TVs with the game on, plenty of seating, and a small yard area with games like big connect four. And Barq's on tap. It's better than the North location (which was so SALTY I didn't think I'd try a Hattie B's again). The portions are pretty generous. It's about $15-20 per person for a meal and a drink. We ordered the three big chicken tenders, fries, a blue cheese chicken sandwich, waffles, 2 sodas and a beer. It was all fine; it's just not my absolute favorite.

    Hattie B's is an incredible value. The service is top-notch. They bring the food out very quickly consider considering it is fried. The chicken portions are very generous, and the chicken is cooked so well- I do not know how they get the chicken so juicy! Ambience is fast casual. You order out a counter and get a number. Our favorite is the crispy chicken sandwich with the special sauce and fries. Only negative I have to add is some of their sides aren't the best- the coleslaw wad over-sauced and sweet, and the mac n cheese tasted very bland. Fries are A++ though!

    I've tried a few different hot chicken spots -- including a well-known one here in Austin that I won't name -- and Hattie B's beats them all. I ordered the Medium Hot Chicken sandwich with a side of fries. The chicken was juicy, the sauce they use was perfect, and even the coleslaw was good... and I'm not even a coleslaw person. 10/10 on the sandwich. The fries were perfectly crispy but just a tad too salty for me -- 6/10. The vibe was dope. There's bar seating, a full dining area, and plenty of room on the patio. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice breeze, which made the experience even better. If you're ever in the South Lamar area, definitely check them out.

    LOVE that a Hattie B's was brought to Texas and in Austin, for that matter! I always make it a point to stop here when in Nashville, so happy I don't have to travel as far now! I love everything on the menu- seriously! You cannot go wrong, and you have a choice in heat preference when ordering that will appease to anyone.

    Fried Sandwich, Fried 3 Tenders Plate, Fried Pickles, Pimento Mac & Cheese, Comeback sauce, Watermelon Marg
    Danny W.

    Let's cut to the chase - the hype is real and the fried chicken won't disappoint you whether you get it in a sandwich or not. Not the best I've ever had but juicy and worthy of a visit. As far as the sides go, I'd definitely recommend getting the fried pickles and dipping them in the comeback and/or ranch sauce. While the mac n cheese is really popular, I wasn't too fond of it but maybe I'm just not a pimento guy. The watermelon marg was a little sweet but I'd still get it again. Even though the line was long, the staff was friendly and I'll definitely come by and try some other dishes (desserts looked great).

    I tried Hattie B's for the first time and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I ordered the chicken sandwich in mild because I have a low tolerance for spice, and it was perfect still had a nice kick, but totally manageable. The chicken itself was juicy, crispy, and flavorful, and honestly every bite was amazing. The sandwich comes with a side of your choice, and I went with the pimento mac and cheese. It was super cheesy, creamy, and delicious -- definitely a standout. I also tried the coleslaw, which was fresh, crunchy, and the perfect balance to the heat of the chicken. Overall, a great meal from start to finish. Highly recommend Hattie B's if you want quality hot chicken with sides that hit just as hard!

    Introduced my hubby to Hattie B's chicken. He loves fried foods and especially wings. I do not prefer fried foods, but sometimes you have to take one for the team. Our server, Genie, recommended the chicken tenders as the post popular food item. My hubby ordered the 5 wings and I ordered two chicken tenders with grits (love me some grits). All were deep fried and super crispy. The chicken tasted like it was made at home...well seasoned and crispy as if it was emersed in oil and immediately served. Our order was filled almost before we found a place to sit. The chicken came out super hot. In fact, you could see steam hoovering over the chicken. Our meals were tasty. Hattie B's is a cross between a fast food and sit down restaurant. Their decor is the standout with bold red colors, enlarged writing on the side of the walls and a retractable door that leads to outside seating.

    Okay after hearing all about Hattie B's, I had to try it. The food came out fast and parking and the wait on a weekend were not bad at all. We ordered Chicken and Waffles as well as a Fried Chicken Sandwich. The Mac and cheese was yummy (I always love a good Mac and cheese). Overall everything was pretty good.

    Fried Southern Salad
    Richard N.

    My girlfriend and I went here for a Yelp event and were pleasantly surprised by the food. She got the chicken sandwich. It was a little salty, but really good if you put the mac and cheese in it. I loved the mac and cheese. I had the southern chicken salad with ranch and while it was good, it was nothing special. The service was very friendly and welcoming, which we noticed right away and there is plenty of seating inside and a small outdoor area as well. Surprisingly, the drinks were very good. The soda was carbonated and crisp and the powerade tasted fresh, which is a big plus. I would definitely come back again.

    5 Jumbo Wings

    Oh shit I forgot to leave a review!! First off; I'd like to apologize for Tumble for cheating but this place here!!!! Top Tier!!! That leg quarter changed my life lol!! The greens taste home made and the potato salad was decent (good for cooling your mouth down if needed. I just ordered the jumbo wings and THAT they indeed are!! JUMBO!! Update on the sides: the greens are starting to be a hit or miss, one day they taste fresh and some days they taste like "yesterday or 2 days ago" The grits!!! Chefs kiss!! I'm a sugar in my grits girl unless it's for shrimp and grits and I could eat these alone! The beans... bruh! TRASH!! Tastes like straight black pepper, as if someone loosened the cap and wayyy too much poured out. The black eyed peas were different...cold; not nasty; but not something I'd get excited for. The Mac and Cheese made me wanna fight!! Disgusting the coleslaw taste like basic coleslaw so no biggie. Now last but not least that banana pudding made me sad I had such high hopes and that shit tastes old as shit!! Like it was in the fridge from last week or maybe thawed from the freezer. Now I usually stick to my leg quarter (HOT) and either greens, potato salad or maybe even grits

    Medium spice was pretty good but I could have done mild for a little less spice. Chicken sandwich was delicious! Lt the best one I've ever had but definitely hits the spot. The ranch is not the best. Service was amazing! Really nice people! Also got a watermelon margarita and it was a big size but was a little too sweet.

    Waffles, The Ultimate Biscuit, A Classic Biscuit, Dirty Bird Fries, and A Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Marissa G.

    My husband and I decided to stop by Hattie B's Hot Chicken while on our Ebike ride. We pulled into the parking lot and parked. We walked in through the back. I noticed an area outside with games, and some patio seating. As we walked in the building I saw a section of seating with booths and tables, we walked past the fountain drink area, and headed to the front to order. The menu is on the wall. As we approached the front of the line I was still a little unsure about what to order. The man working behind the counter was friendly and patient. My husband and I eventually placed our order, got our drink cups, paid, and got our number to display at our table. The whole process was quick. After getting our drink cups we filled them up with water and then found a place to sit and wait. We eventually got our food and began tasting different items. My husband and I shared our food. We ordered Waffles, the Ultimate Chicken Biscuit No Cheese, a Classic Biscuit, Dirty Bird Fries, and a Fried Chicken Sandwich No Cheese. We ordered all of our chicken with no heat or what they call Southern Style or no burn. The Waffles were delicious. They were belgian style waffles served with butter and syrup. They were super sweet and reminscent of a funnel cake. The Ultimate Chicken Biscuit was good. It comes with fried chicken, bacon, fried egg, and cheese but we ordered ours with No heat and No cheese. The biscuit was good, the chicken was a good size with a crispy exterior, the egg was okay, and the bacon added flavor. The Classic Biscuit was good. The biscuit was warm and soft on the inside with a brown semi crunchy outside. I got mine with strawberry jam. The Dirty Bird Fries were tasty. They came with fries, pimento mac, bite size chicken tenders, pickles, chives, and comeback sauce. The fries were somewhat crispy and with the pimento mac they eventually got soggy but that was expected. The chicken tender bites were good. They were a good size with a crispy exterior and a tender center. The pickles added texture and the chives added additional flavor, and the comeback sauce added a hint of spice. It was a good mix of ingredients and very filling. The fried chicken sandwich was yummy. It came with a piece of fried chicken, coleslaw, and pickles. We ordered ours with No cheese and No heat. The fried chicken was a good size with a tender interior and a crispy exterior. The coleslaw gave the sandwich flavor and the pickles texture. In hindsight I wish I would have gotten it with the pimento cheese. I will try that next time. Overall it was a good lunch stop. The atmosphere is spacious with seating inside and outside, the service was friendly and the food was really good.

    Ask the Community - Hattie B's Hot Chicken - Austin - South Lamar

    Does Haddie B's use pepper-infused oils to achieve different heat levels post frying? I'm pretty sure Tumble 22 does this while Gus's does not. My experience favors Gus's approach purely for the uniformity bite-to-bite, relative to crunch and heat.

    Hey Robert, we add our spice blend to our oil base and dip the chicken in it after it comes out hot and fresh from the fryer! Hope you got to come in and experience some authentic Nashville hot chicken with us. Thank you!

We sat at the bar, and I believe his name was Darby. He was serving us and mentioned that he had been working there for 12 years. He suggested a few local brews and recommended the three-piece chicken combo with two sides. We went with the mac and cheese and fried green tomatoes, and everything was delicious!

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.
