    Bites and fries

    Tumble 22 is named for the 22 spices the chicken is tumbled in. The restaurant is fun and well laid out. We sat at the bar today and had immediate service and the bartender was awesome. I had the 8 piece chicken tender meal with fries and had the "hot" spice which is not super hot. The next level up is SPIcY!! The place is fun and has just great atmosphere. Also full bar with good specials.

    I stumbled upon Tumble 22 Chicken Joint literally! I just happened to be in the area and saw it. My coworker here in Austin recommended it so I decided to try it out. A great patio seating area with long tables and shade covering. The inside is modern with a good looking full bar with cocktails, etc. Two tvs with professional sports playing. The front area has a display case of their pies and cheesecake. House music mostly from the 80s. Two separate multi-user men and women's restrooms. The host was friendly and guided me to my shared table, which was fine with me as the place was crowded and the open tables were for 4 or more people. Dafne took great care of me. She suggested some popular items and also some of hers. She was friendly, outgoing, and had a sparkling personality. O.G. Chicken Sandwich: their signature features an all-natural chicken breast, crisp coleslaw, bread-n-butter pickles, and Duke's mayo on a toasted bun. Select your heat level (4/5). The chicken was brined well and juicy. The coating was nice and crunchy. The coleslaw and pickles cuts the spiciness. Seve's Collard Greens: Rich and savory collard greens cooked low and slow featuring smoked turkey, apple cider vinegar, and Crystal's Louisiana Hot Sauce. Peanut Butter Chocolate Mousse Pie: a decadent dessert that combines the rich, creamy texture of mousse with the comforting flavor of peanut butter, all nestled within a buttery, crumbly crust. Come support your local business.

    Service is on the slower side. My fries came out cold. The 1/2 chicken skin was way too salty. Portion for lil OG sandwich was ok. Probably won't be back :(

    Hot chicken isnt my favorite thing but I wanted to give this popular place a try! First of all, i liked the environment, it was clean and comfortable. Our server was attentive and gave really fast service. I got the "og" sandwich with hot spice level and it was perfect for me. The sandwich was bigger than I expected! The one thing that is really memorable for me is how creamy and buttery and sandwich buns were , it went really well with the fried chicken!

    Typically great service when I've come to this location. The service was a bit lacking this visit. The options for food always great. My half Cobb was the perfect amount as usual. The boneless thighs made my husband giddy. They took a lot less time than the bone in that he gets at our location. The feel is a simple restaurant that focuses what they are good at. It is usually clean for our visits and I feel was safe to bring out of town guests. I knew it would have something for everyone. The buttermilk pie was even Southern girl approved.

    My husband and I love love love Tumble 22! If you're looking for the best fried chicken in town, Tumble 22 is it--hands down. I always order the dark chicken with a side of fries and their insanely good broccoli salad. That salad alone is worth the trip--I could honestly eat it as a full meal. My husband always gets the OG sandwich with fries, and it never misses. Everything is crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection every time. Also love their key lime pie and heavenly eggs as an appetizer! Beyond the food, the atmosphere at this location is awesome. The back deck has super strong fans that keep things cool and bug-free even in Texas heat. We sat outside and were totally comfortable. Also, shoutout to our waiter he was fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed.

    For the price, Tumble 22 perfected their craft. Flavors are all on point. The broccoli salad is a bit sweet with the chunks of dried fruit which I enjoyed because it cut the fatty/oily flavors in the rest of the meal. The mac and cheese was amazing, gooey and the pasta shells had a bite to it! The chicken was flavorful, light crispy crunch. Highly recommend!

    I am a big fan of Tumble 22 but this was my first time eating at this location and I hate to say it, but this location is not up to par with the other Tumble 22's in the area. Me and my boyfriend were both thrown off with our sandwich and the dirty fries. We barely had any chicken on our fries and the slaw on the sandwich was really throwing us off. I couldn't figure out what was different about it but it was not nearly as good as it is at other locations. All of that aside, the service was still good and I hope we just came on an off day.

    The plus of Tumble 22 is the large portions of chicken. Korean style chicken is more about the sauce, rather than the crispy double-fry that I usually expect from Korean-fried chicken. The Cole slaw was decent as a side, but I thought the sides were got (I.e. collard greens) were only mid for me. After a little while, the meal feels a little one-note and you want something different. Fries are a good way to start off the meal. If you get the fries with the chicken, I wouldn't choose the Korean style chicken to change up the flavor profile. They tasted too similar to me.

    What kind of oil is used to fry?

    We use a blend of soybean and canola oil!

    I know y'all are a fried chicken place, but do you by chance offer a grilled chicken option for someone on a limited eating plan?

    I chatted with a server about this recently - they used to have grilled chicken on specific days of the week but they decided to do away with it. Apparently there’s a lot of flour in the Tumble 22 kitchen and the risk of cross-contamination for… 

    When is southern sandwich & oysters coming back? Really doesn't make sense to remove two of the best items on the menu during covid.

    Hey there, Rahul! If we do bring back any of our old specials, we'll be sure to make an announcement about it on our social media. Until then, you can enjoy our monthly O.G. specials, such as our Texas Twister for November!

    For someone that likes spicy but not overwhelmingly spicy, which level of spice should I get?

    Dang Hot.... or.. Cluckin' Hot. I would pick Cluck. Stay away from Stupid Hot if you're not trying to go overboard. Overall, they have brought the heat level as of late down. You should be good either way!!

    Are you guys buying precooked eggs (deviled eggs), and potato salad these days? I used to love both menu items, and now they taste like grocery store deli food.

    I was told wimpy is no spice. If you come at happy hour (4-6 weekdays) they have small portions that would work just fine.

    Do they have a kids menu...didn't see it on the menu?

    Unfortunately, they don't. But my kids usually share a plate as the portions (chicken and sides) are quite large.

    Are they open during Thanksgiving?

    No they're not

    Do they sell shirts and hats? If so how much is the shirt? and how much is the Hat? Before tax?

    Yes they sell shirts and hats. No idea on cost I'm guessing $20-30 range.

Had not been to this restaurant in a good while, and was a last minute decision. Good choice. The whipped feta is always a treat -- light and creamy with a solid feta taste, but not overpowering, served with a few orange slices and thinly sliced almonds, and pita. Special dish! Beet salad excellent, but the Fresno peppers had way too much heat, so pushed them to side. My wife had the Moroccan curry, which had a very spot on Moroccan flavor (been there 3x), and was a large, filling portion so brought home leftovers. I had the grilled pork chop which was large, perfectly grill with a tasty bourbon-based glaze, served with a large roasted garlic clove. Wonderful dish.

The standout was the Brussel sprouts...crispy with this absolutely delicious drizzle. I ordered the Mezze plate with a flavor explosion and many desirable texture. It had lamb kabobs, fresh salad (emphasis on fresh) with thinly sliced cucumbers, finely sliced onions and creamy feta (never had creamy feta), red round sweet peppers, hummus with the most delightful pesto like sauce, and olives. Oh my...what a delicious lunch! Morgan, our server, was attentive and accomodating. She moved us to another table when we notice our table was rocking a little. Great catching up with my brother and excellent meal!

It feels like more of a brunch / lunch place but it works for dinner too. This isn't a place where you come away saying "you have to order this one thing." It's more that everything is done well across the menu, which makes it easy to come back and try something different next time. I can't speak to the other locations, but this one was great.

For our main dish I ordered the shrimp and grits, and my daughter ordered biscuits and gravy. My dish had 4 small shrimp (which I ate) a lot of anduille sausage bits, and a lot of flavorful sauce over these soupy cheesy grits that was not what I expected. It was served as a "soup" with a spoon. There was some toasted bread on the side of the bowl. While everything was very flavorful, I did not like the soupy consistence, it was unexpected for me. My daughter's biscuits and gravy, on the other hand, needed more gravy... she liked the dish but she felt her gravy was too little for the serving. Then she also ordered a half order (1) pancake with cinamon roll French toast and we took that home. It had good flavor! Overall, I enjoyed the food, the flavors were good, the prices have definitely gone up a LOT. 3 stars for good flavor as expected- but I was not "blown away"... but yes of course I would come again! Enjoy!
