“We discovered this place by walking by at Mueller. What a gem!! The Peri Peri chicken was delicious and I love all the different sauces that you can put on it, as well as ordering your preferred spice level. We got the french fries, which were really tasty, the coleslaw, which was had a good tan flavor and the skin on mashed potatoes. All were excellent. The food guy here really fast and everyone was really friendly and helpful. You scan a code and order at your table or you can order at the cash register. We sat outside on a beautiful sunny fall day. It was perfect.“

“Alright came in for the bomb chicken. Ended up with even better company and conversation! CJ doin big things in this place definitely kept a smile on my face. Oh one more thing pecan pie with the vanilla scoop on top set it off for the end.“

“I will never go into this Popeye’s location ever again. Disgusting, dirty, horrible service inside. Most of the people in there were either on drugs or insane. Half the sodas were out, no lids. All they care about is the drive-thru, no desire to take care of things in the dining area. I tried to find some water to clean the mess & dried catsup off my table, but there was some homeless guy in the bathroom with his dog (yes, dog in the restaurant). So I tried to get water from the soda fountain, but water wasn’t dispensing. Line of people 10 deep, no one taking orders in front. People were getting rude and irritated. One guy got kinda hostile and mouthy. It took 30mins to get my order...and I had to ask them for it. My mashed potatoes were not warm, but the chicken sandwich was awesome.“

“The OG sandwich was amazing! My wife said her hot nuggets were the bomb. This will be our go to for spicy chicken!“

“This particular Popeyes has the best employee ever. Miss Patricia. Super friendly, funny, and sweet. I'm glad I opted to come inside to order in lieu of the drive thru. She made my day! The chicken was delicious of course, but Patricia is the big draw here. Give her a raise immediately!“

“Just visited there. the new owners are so welcoming. and the new menu is great. had the Hawaiian Burger. Undoubtedly the best burger i have ever had in long time. love the surprise of pineapple in the burger. definitely coming back to try the other burgers.“

“Raising Cane’s on Brodie Lane in Austin is always a great experience! The chicken fingers are consistently hot, crispy, and delicious, and the Cane’s sauce is unbeatable. The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and the restaurant is always clean. Whether I'm grabbing a quick meal or picking up a family combo, they never disappoint. One of my favorite spots for comfort food in South Austin!“

“Today I walked in and I smelled chicken , I was greeted kindly and talked about swiftly about what I needed and found , I needed help logging and and was kindly given coupons to complete a order and save, I want to call that a blessing today.“

“We ate at Bush’s chicken yesterday. The counter service, food, and order was perfect. Employees all with great attitudes as always. Steven came around to the tables, introduced himself and checked on everyone’s satisfaction. He took the time to address each customer by name. This is a fine employee who is truly an asset to his employer!“

“Yummy hot made to order chicken 🐔“

“Delicious! Staff was nice and variety of food options“

“Excellent 1/2 chicken with excellent onion, usual sides. I missed living in the neighborhood near the #2 North Lamar location. I stopped by at a slow time of day, polite staff and great food. Took to go, but the place was clean and ready for business later on in the day. Grabbed a couple neighborhood newspapers as I left.“

“I didn’t catch his name, but the young gentleman who helped me with my order on 10/7/25 around 5:30 PM was outstanding! He was friendly, helpful, courteous and gave great recommendations. He seemed like an all-around great guy! I’d love for management to recognize him for his excellent service and positive attitude.truly rare in today’s world.

Awesome!“

Keep up the great work and I’ll keep coming back for more!!! Hwy 620 my favorite location Loyal fan and customer ❣️“

“Best place to grab a tasty bite. Much cleaner than any other fast food restaurants. The quality of ingredients are very good too. I wish they had a spicier burger sauce like KFC has.
People are very nice and kind, and the service is quick.“

“I would like to say that you have one great employee. Her name Is Erica she Understands what food is about and how it is supposed to be prepared with love, not just throwing it together. I have been going to Chick-fil-A since the 80s. And I've enjoyed your food for so long. But lately most of your employees just throw the food together. But after a few times that I have been upset how my food came out, I've talked to the manager Erica I explained to her how I like the pickles on a sandwich. Because every bite, whether it's a Chick-fil-A or a hamburger. Every bite should get a pickle down to the last bite. I understand that it's a fast food restaurant, but back in the 80s.When I used to work at a hamburger place and we were busy.We still manage to put a pickle in every corner.A square so that everybody gets a bite of a pickle. I stopped eating inside chick. Fil a for a while until this Saturday the 16th I went there and Erica was there and I asked her if I can have. My combo with an extra Patty with 4 pickles on the bottom, 4 pickled in the middle and 4 pickle on top of the chicken. And my French fries or waffle. Fries salted because I hate ketchup. She made sure that my order was properly correct and when She brought my order to me.She asked the taste of Waffle fries and they were perfectly salted and my sandwich Was made perfect even until the last bite even had a pickle. On that last bite, the sandwich was still hot with a pickle..Thank You For having such a caring Manager like Erica to make me feel good about eating good at Chick-fil-A.“

“This was my first time visiting this establishment. I’m here for a college graduation from Atlanta. I must say, being a chef and a person that serves, the service was immaculate and the food was simply amazing. Service was fast, cashier was very courteous, friendly & patient. The order did not come out correctly, however, the gentleman that waited on us was very quick to correct the order. Wow! What an amazing staff that was behind the counter. Everyone that was behind the counter began to pitch in when the dining room began to fill. I didn’t see anyone in particular instruct the staff to do that. I noticed that saw a need and filled it. Great job & great food. Highly recommend! I will be returning when I come back to Austin.“

“Pollo Campero is inside a mini mart so the atmosphere is not the point. It's comfort food fried chicken and sides with a delicious flavor. Nice and crispy, great seasoning. Great for days when you want a comfort food meal at a good price.

Vegetarian options: Not a vegetarian place

Dietary restrictions: Not the place if you're watching your diet for health reasons.

Kid-friendliness: It's in a Convenience Store. It is what it is.

“Very quick and friendly service“

“Nice and clean restaurant awsome Manager“

“I was so not expecting this place to surprise me the way it did!!! I travel a lot and try new places and sometimes get used to restaurants not caring about the quality of food they serve. Happy Chicks not only provided me with HIGH QUALITY chicken, but top tier customer service! Matt, was so kind, from beginning to end!! I even caught him helping a homeless man get food🥰🥰 instead of saying they can’t give food away! That alone made me a forever customer!! Then I bit into the chicken and was like “Wait, this is real chicken!!” It was hot, fresh, crispy and packed full of flavor! They’re also on the inKind app, and my entire meal cost $0.89 w/ rewards from inKind app. I will definitely be returning!!“

“This is a Food Truck serving some traditional and inspired dishes, and some unconventional items! In my visit I have their Sopes with Pastor and they were killer. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a fast and cost efficient meal.“

“I ordered the whole chicken and it came with a small container of rice and beans. It also came with a grilled onion, half a lime, several corn tortillas, red salsa and green salsa. Everything was amazing! The chicken was delicious, the rice was good, the beans were great both salsas are great but I prefer the red one. The green one was too spicy for me. The portions of rice and beans are small so if you are ordering for a large group, you should probably order extra rice and beans.“

“Leaving the review so no other parents try taking their kids here to have lunch and play on the playground. Unfortunately this Chick fil a has removed the play ground during a renovation. Leaving 4 stars so this doesn’t greatly impact their rating but how sad that they got rid of it!“

“Delicious roasted chicken for only 5.49, cheaper and healthier than the major fast food chicken chains.
Veggies bowl also good value. Highly recommend!

Vegetarian options: rice, corn, mac &cheese, mash potatoes, beans“

“It’s Chick Fil A, you know exactly what you’re getting. This location is close to my work and pretty much always packed to the point it’s nearly impacting nearby traffic. Let me tell you, this location knows service. I’ve never had an error with my orders here. They always greet you and say goodbye to you in the most pleasant way. This location is run well.“

“Just tried the big box of chicken!!! Its very very Good!!! I'm not sure how or why but this chicken taste much better and more fresh than the kfc or puppies it was very good!! I saw this the other day and had a craving for chicken so I finally ordered it. I wanted to try that and I will be making an order to try there wings!!! I prefer bone in wings which they have as opposed to other chains!! Only wish it was more nearby me so I didn't have to do deliver!! Was very very good!!“
