“Great chicken! Street corn as very tasty.“

“Couldn’t order chicken and fries without a drink so I had to pay for something I didn’t get. The friends were kinda fees and mostly good. But those chicken tenders were hot, fresh and came out fast! Will come again when it’s not peak hours to see if they cook to order. Yum!“

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

“yummy macaroni with the chicken straps ahh“

“I walked in today with some of my friends for a quick bite to eat. We were in a hurry so we placed it to go, however, an issue occurred upon us getting our food. Almost immediately I dropped it in the ground by accident, and the worker dropped instantly to clean it all up. He offered to replace everything and even add on some as compensation. The service here is truly immaculate and we will be returning, well done Gabe!!! ( and the rest of the popeyes crew)“

“Great quality, fast service and the management team is outstanding.“

“Love the Chicken, Tenders, Roll, Green Beans and more. I especially love the Sweet Tea!!! The employees are ALWAYS nice and helpful. Also when you go as much as I do they remember your likes... Keep up the great work and I’ll keep coming back for more!!! Hwy 620 my favorite location Loyal fan and customer ❣️“

“Yummy hot made to order chicken 🐔“

“I don't know why I like Popeyes so much, but I regularly eat 3-5 chicken tenders with Mardis Gras Mustard.
Service is always slow. They do one car at a time in the drive thru and ignore me when I walk inside to the counter. I always order on the app ahead, but plan on waiting 10-15 minutes for someone to hand me the food that was already made.
This isn't exclusive to this location, so I assume it's part of their standard operating procedures to be generally inefficient.
I'm going to continue to eat here regularly, but I know what to expect when it comes to the service.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 was SO stoked to see they were open this late because I needed something fresh, hot, and good, and Cane’s came through! 😂 The tenders were fresh and hot, the fries were good, and that lemonade was POPPING. Even the bathroom was clean, which I definitely appreciate, especially late at night. Everything was on point. No complaints over here! 👏🏾“

“I had ordered a delivery and it’s nowhere to be found. Now I’m stuck on hold with their support.

Waited on hold for about 10 minutes to talk to their support only to hear they have to contact the store. And my food is still nowhere to be found and is probably cold by now.

This has been a terrible experience and there is nothing anyone can do. Support can’t do anything and there is not any other recourse if they mis-deliver your food. You will just have to sit and wait.

Edit: I received a call from the store and they made it right. Thank you.“

“I just wished that pollo campero would have a restaurant here in San Antonio Texas...I don't know why they can't expand their business lots of people would go to one of them here in my city !!!
My husband and I went to the one in Houston we bought a big meal it was delicious and I crave for more now ...so whomever is reading this please bring it here thank you!!!“

“Visited the food truck near our hotel based on reviews! Yup! All 4 items ordered were delicious along w/ friendly service & food was hot & quick…. Definitely a must try ❤️“

“The best Nashville style chicken“

“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.“

“Simply the best fast food experience in Austin!
This Chick-fil-A location in Austin is consistently outstanding in every single way. The food is always fresh, hot and absolutely delicious with their iconic chicken sandwiches and waffle fries delivering pure satisfaction every single time. The service here is genuinely in a league of its own with a team that is remarkably friendly, efficient and goes above and beyond to make every customer feel genuinely valued. The drive-thru moves at an impressive pace even during the busiest periods and the order is always accurate and handled with a smile. The restaurant is spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained throughout. Chick-fil-A in Austin sets the gold standard for what fast food service should look like and it is a place I visit time and again with complete enthusiasm!“

“Very quick and friendly service“

“Nice and clean restaurant awsome Manager“

“Went to chicken salad chick for the first time with my sister. The food was amazing and came out in a timely manner. My complaint would have to be the staff. Mary who attended us was super rude and unprofessional. She was short when asked questions on the menu and how to order. She really dampened the atmosphere. Walking up the counter felt very intimidating.“

“We went to a show at Drinks Backyard, and none of the food trucks inside had gluten free options. This truck behind the venue had a couple of options, and the potato was delicious. It is a large portion and a reasonable price. Service was very fast. They are cash only and Spanish speaking, so come prepared!“

“I went in to grab a good ol classic chicken burger and let me just say! Great service; Shelby (the girl with the purple glasses) was an exceptional worker! Greeted with a smile, great attitude, and quick with getting my order and asking all the right questions! I was in and out in seconds and didn’t even feel rushed! Now that’s customer service!“

“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.“

“An Austin Original, full of local flair.“

“Whenever I go to Chick-fil-A, I always get the Spicy Deluxe Combo. The subtle kick really whets my appetite, and dipping it in Chick-fil-A sauce is just amazing. Burgers are great, but chicken leaves me feeling nice and full without feeling heavy.“

“We had the BEST experience catering our wedding dinner through Flaming Bird!

Lee was extremely helpful in the planning stages. He answered every question with care and patience. We would like to thank entire Flaming Bird/Deli team for their help. We knew we were in good hands and had no issues in the delivery process. Our guests raved about the food and many said it was the best meal they've had at a wedding in a long time!

Incredible value for great food. If you find yourself needing to cater a meal, consider Flaming Bird. Absolutely recommend!

“I really enjoy their chicken at Krispy Krunchy Chicken, it is very flavorful & tender, the prices are moderate, while this may be located inside of a gas station, don't let that deter you from coming here as the fried chicken is great.“

“I got the chicken bites with the red velvet waffle in Washington today 10/10 definitely recommend😍“

“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.

“Has to be some of the best quality chicken tenders in Austin atleast compared to fast food places and at a great price. The tenders are huge, juicy, and fresh while also being seasoned with just the right amount. Dont forget the homemade hot sauce either. 5/5 will be coming here often. The lady serving them is also incredibly nice.“

“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!!“
