This is a good place that shoots itself in the foot with klutzy self-representation…read more. They call themselves a virtual kitchen located within Urban Chicken. They are NOT a virtual kitchen - and it is just as well that they are not a virtual kitchen. They make it sound like Chronic Fries is borrowing space from Urban Chicken. Chronic Fries is not "borrowing space" from Urban Chicken. The two institutions are one and the same. The menu for one is printed on the back of the menu for other. They may have a complicated ownership structure - But that does not get around the fact that this is simply a fast food restaurant where you can order both chicken and fries. * * * I don't see why Chronic Fries would want to be a virtual kitchen. Virtual kitchens are awful antiseptic places where there is no place to sit down. In a virtual kitchen, you get your food from a numbered box. In a virtual kitchen, there is screen against a wall from which you order. Otherwise, you use your phone. It takes effort to make contact with a human being. Virtual Kitchens are total THX 1138. Virtual kitchens s**k. * * * Chronic Fries/Urban Chicken is a nifty place for a fast food restaurant. They have tons of seating both indoors and outdoors. The crowd is heavily college-age which may or may not be collegiate. The crowd is diverse the way Round Rock is diverse. The crowd has a lot of church kids the way Round Rock has a lot of church kids. My male companion and I were the oldest people in the place. Virtual kitchens don't have crowds - let alone young ones. * * * The fries are super-duper. (Okay, for a college aged place, I probably should have used a term less dated than "super-duper".) For the maximum french fry bliss experience, get any version with chicken on top. Some versions give you chicken automatically. All versions let you order chicken on top as an add-on. Urban Chicken does a good chicken And what goes on your French Fries will be top notch. We got three kinds of fries. The standout was the BBQ Mac and Cheese Fries. Hot Cheetos Fries were just what they sound like. The sides that don't have much Hot Cheetos on them are not all that interesting. You get to the part with industrial quantities of ground up Hot Cheetos on top and, Suddenly things start to go live action. Plain macaroni and cheese fries are not that exciting by themselves. But they sell about half a dozen sauces to put on top of your macaroni and cheese fries. Some of those look like they could make a real compelling argument That they belong on your fries If your toppings are not exotic enough already. * * * Just for the record, they also run a soft-serve operation. That soft-serve operation offers milk shakes as a possible beverage. Thumbs up on the soft serve milk shakes. Their version of an Oreo Milkshake has about a truckload of Oreo crumbs dumped on top. On a milkshake that means that the crumbs end up all on the bottom with your maraschino cherry. Why oh why, in the 21st century, do we still have to put up with maraschino cherries? Why oh why, in the 20th century, the 19th century, the 18th century or any century that you can possibly think of, do we still have to put up with maraschino cherries? The church kids eating at the various tables around you can probably explain to you that because Eve ate the Apple in the Garden of Eden - and Adam ate the apple too - that they were thrown out of the Garden of Eden - and forced to have maraschino cherries on top of their desserts. God's love and the Forgiveness of Jesus Christ gives you the really good Oreo Milkshake that surrounds that maraschino cherry. I have no idea if that theology is sound ... But the Oreo milkshake is objectively good And the difficulty of sucking up those Oreo crumbs with your straw Is the exact equivalent of attaining heaven merely by the force of good works. * * * First rate fries. First rate toppings. First rate drinks. A corporate office with an identity problem. And religious people to talk to in the seats If the fries inspire you to seek a higher way. * * * What's not to like? (Outside of the identity problem.)

From the amazing sourdough bread to the smoked fish appetizer, everything starts off strong. For mains, you really can't go wrong--whether it's the shrimp and lobster roll or the classic fish and chips, every dish hits the mark. We also highly recommend the crab fried rice. I can't remember a visit where we haven't ordered andextra one for leftovers. It's a great spot no matter the time of day. Whether you're stopping in for brunch, lunch, or dinner, Salt Traders is always a solid choice when you're craving delicious, well-prepared seafood.

I knew better when I seen buddy put a sealed bag of cooked helotes in water to warm it, that this was 50/50 on good, but DAMN. The chicken tenders, tasty. Juicy & not small. The plain is basically like eating a canes tender.. boring. The lemon pepper & bbq ones were a lil better but very light on the flavor. Like, very light. Mid at best. The sweet potato waffle fries, fkn trash! They HAD to have been warmed/prepped in a microwave bc there isnt a CRISP to be found. Soggy and undercooked. The white mac. Horrible. Bagged boiled noodles & 50 gallons of cheese sauce that has not a pinch of flavor. It was so gross. But the one that made me spit out my food & write this review was having to wring the grease outta my "Texas Toast". 1st of all why tf do you use toast to line the bottom of the chicken box & seal it up?? I rolled a tender into a piece of bread & took a bite & it was like a mouth of melted butter. I was immediately grossed out. I literally smashed & smooshed the toast, wringing it out & it was like a wet towel. Dripping w grease. That was it for me. This was a definite waste of money!! Idk how this place was so packed!!!!

Last few times I've ordered my burger, medium rare, and the kitchen was able to deliver it as ordered. Unfortunately, this most recent trip come at the kitchen reverted to its normal over cooking the burger, standard fair. Thankfully, they did not make it well done there was still some pink to it so I did not have to send the burger back. The earrings were not as plentiful and generous of a serving as is normal, but they were still very tasty. The french fries were mediocre. Sometimes BJ does it well and sometimes they don't tonight was just one of those off nights.

My family and I had a great experience in the past so I decided to celebrate my birthday here. Our…read moreserver was Faith. She was great with drinks and taking our orders. Things started going downhill when my brother received his tri tip. He mentioned to Faith that it was over cooked and was not to his liking. He asked if he could get it corrected, and instead of being attentive to my brother's request, she replied with this negative tone that "tri tips are slow cooked (something along those lines) and that you may not get it the way you like it." There was no, "let me see what I can do." Just this is how it is and how it's done, take it or leave it. The vibe after that interaction killed the experience and set a tone of not wanting to be there. But knowing it was my birthday, I was at least excited for the free birthday pizookie. She asked if we were interested in dessert but not once did Faith mention the free pizookie or offered it. We paid our bill and she said Happy Birthday. While walking out, I wanted to confirm that BJ's still offer that complimentary pizookie. So I asked a server who was working on silverware before I exited the building. "Hi, do you still offer a free pizookie for birthdays?" She replied "yes if it's your birthday." I work in Customer Service and this was not it. But I do want to give a shoutout to Alexander. Our last server prior to this experience who made me want to come back to this establishment bc he was a 5 star server. Amazing experience! Faith could take some pointers from him.

It was the smash burger with pineapple and spam. Unusual but tasty. The sweet potato fries, steak fries and tater tots cooked perfectly as well. Service was amazing!
