    Great food and friendly service! Always delicious. The wings are juicy and flavorful. Cajun fries are yummy. Love the vibe. We devoured our food and forgot to take a pic.

    Austin-Right off the bat...VERY friendly, informative young man at the front. The gal working with him was not happy to be working today. We loved the divey vibe of this place. No indoor seating, so take note. We had 3 types of bone-in wings, deep fried cauliflower bites, and some chicken tendies. The garlic parm flavor was great but was WAY over-sauced. So incredibly messy, they were not enjoyable. Lemon pepper would have been great, but was so salty they were inedible. Bbq ones were ok. All the wings were super meaty which is a huge plus. The deep-fried cauliflower was a huge no for us. Way too much breading and way too much black pepper in the batter. The chicken tendies were ok. They were huge too. Fries were a hit. Crunchy on the outside, soft and yummy on the inside. The frozen daiquiris were delicious!! We did not get a chance to try the fried pickle. We brought some things home because we were tired of fighting the "million flies army" that descended upon us when we sat down. This is probably a one and done for our group, but it was a fun idea!

    Cajun Fries. Spicy garlic Parm. Asian heat. Cajun dry rub. Fried pickle. So so good.

    The Thirsty Chicken absolutely snapped The green apple slushie was insanely good, and the 10 piece wings with spicy lemon pepper + Asian heat were NEXT LEVEL. Crispy, saucy, packed with flavor, and honestly some of the best wings I've had in a while. I'm already planning my next order

    Found this place online and had to stop by while in town, it was pretty good. I like the vibe of this place a lot, they have open outdoor seating and a family friendly vibe. The cashier was nice and she answered any questions we had. I got a creamsicle daiquiri and it was pretty good, I wish I tried a different flavor though it was a bit too sweet. My mom and sister enjoyed their drinks: michelada and margarita. The food was good, I personally liked their different fries but my family not so much. The wings were good but almost too saucy for me.. I would definitely like to go back and try everything differently!

    You haven't been to The Thirsty Chicken in Leander yet--what are you waiting for?! This place is a hidden gem. The wings are absolutely fire--crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. I tried the Garlic Parmesan and the Hot Cheeto Chick (yes, Hot Cheeto!), and both were insanely good. The fries were perfectly seasoned, and the fried pickles? Chef's kiss. But the real star of the show? The daiquiris. They have SO many flavors, it's almost impossible to pick just one. I went with the strawberry mango and it was the perfect mix of sweet and refreshing. Also loved the chill, laid-back vibe--GREAT music, fun crowd, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Shout out to lady boss! Hit me up! Whether you're coming for the wings, the drinks, or the good vibes, this spot delivers. Definitely coming back! Highly recommend!!

    Best chicken wings I have had in the zip code! Definitely go with the Cajun fries. The Buffalo hot is actually hot which is nice.

    Did they switch to regular fries permanently or were they just out of the potato wedges for a day? I ordered week before last and when I saw regular fries I wanted to flip…

    Are pets allowed on the patio?

    Hello. Yes, pets are allowed at The Thirsty Chicken. We have 5 picnic tables that they usually gravitate to as they provide more leg room :)

    Manny is a wizard, and this well marg is pure alchemy…read more Look, I've logged serious field research when it comes to happy hour margaritas across this town. I have consumed the good, the bad, and the distinctly "tastes like floor cleaner and bad decisions." So when I say a well margarita blew me away, please understand the weight of that statement. Usually, a well marg is something you order when you've decided quality is optional and saving five bucks is mandatory. Not here. Enter Manny. Manny isn't just bartending; he's running a high-level liquid chemistry lab behind that bar. This house recipe of his defies every known law of budget tequila. Whatever magic ratio he's using, it completely skips the usual sour-mix heartburn and goes straight to refreshing, perfectly balanced perfection. Smooth, freshly squeezed taste, and just enough kick to make you realize you're definitely calling an Uber. If you come here, sit at the bar and ask for Manny's house margarita. Hands down the best well drink in the city. Just leave a solid tip, because the man is out here doing public service work.

It's definitely a neighborhood bar, but with a slightly elevated vibe that makes you feel like you stumbled into the nice version of a local hangout, not the sticky‑floor kind. I ordered three rounds of Hendrick's and tonic, and my partner went with four rounds of Tito's and Sprite. When the bill came out to $140, I had to take a quiet moment with myself. Yes, Hendrick's is top shelf, but even with that in mind... whew. That total felt a little ambitious for a neighborhood bar in Cedar Park. I'm all for a good cocktail, but I also know what these pours cost elsewhere, and this pricing didn't quite match the setting. That said, the service was excellent. Our bartender was attentive, quick, and had that perfect balance of friendly without being overly chatty. She kept an eye on the bar, and we never had to wait long for a refill -- which I appreciated, especially since the place wasn't packed. Honestly, the smooth service was the highlight of the night. The vibe itself is cool -- a little eclectic, a little upscale, and clearly a favorite for the local crowd. It's the kind of place you go when you want to unwind without dealing with the Domain crowd or the chaos of downtown Austin. I can absolutely see why people love it. But between the drink prices and the overall experience, this is one of those spots I'd visit occasionally, not regularly. A cute neighborhood bar? Yes. A $140‑for‑seven‑drinks bar? Not for me.

Clearly, not at all, because the place was packed. Either at capacity or about to go over. We secured a little standing spot at the bar and enjoyed our little brews. As we looked up at the TV, the original Leprechaun movie was playing. The staff were very friendly and moving around at the speed of light to get everyone their green dyed beers. There was over an hour wait for food due to how obviously busy a bar is on International Wear Green and Drink Beer Day, which didn't concern us because we had already eaten. For everyone else, sucks to be them. Our Guinnesses were good, and I really have no complaints. The location is quite narrow, but they make the most of it.
