“Love the food, and the service! Will be back“

“Straight up, amazing. We loved the food. It is spicy hot, and the waffles were tasty.“

“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!“

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

“So glad Nando’s made it out to Austin, TX!! Been craving this food since I had a taste in London 3 years ago and might have found a new spot for lunch or dinner!“

“Great crispy batter, great fries, great sauces and great coleslaw. Food is always hot and fresh. Never had a bad experience.“

“1/5-Something has happened in this Popeyes in the last month or so. It used to be slow. Something was always out or broken. Never greeted at the door or at the register. Store was dirty. In the last month, the store is clean, nothing broken, always greeted. If there is a line, it moves quick. Employees smile and are kind. Food is hot and ready. What a wonderful place to eat. Thank you Popeyes!
1/6-Went back today to see if it is consistent. It was amazing yet again. I'm so excited to see this place delivering excellent, and consistent, product and service. Outstanding!“

“Great all around! The workers are all so sweet and on top of it there, food comes out hot and fast! Really good place!“

“yummy macaroni with the chicken straps ahh“

“The cashier (i wish I remembered her name) was absolutely amazing. It was our 1st time there and she was very helpful and patient with us and helped us with our order. The food was fantastic beyond better than Dave’s…our new food obsession“

“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 chicken! Street corn as very tasty.“

“Awesome, Awesome, Awesome service by Anahi who welcomed us in. They were super busy and she remained calm and very pleasant. The food was perfect and smoking hot. Best Cane's in Austin. The staff needs to appreciate how Anahi is attentive with friendly customer service.“

“1000 times, YES. The chicken is delicious--the best chicken I've ever eaten--the portions are huge and the sides, banana pudding, cesar salad, fries. All delicious. The hand-made sauces range in heat and are all in-freaking-credible. 5-stars!“

“Nice and clean restaurant awsome Manager“

“Yummy hot made to order chicken 🐔“

“I have only been to the Brodie location (many times) and I've always found the service and the food to be great... well... every once in a great while the service dips down to adequate but that's what I expect and don't get at many other places. Good Job Y'all“

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

“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.“

“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 ❣️“

“UPDATE 6.2.26- I have been back several times after making this review. It is apparent the chicken has improved and stayed consistent over many visits. Thank you for listening and caring about your customer reviews.

Good prices, flavors are amazing, wait time is always 10 mins or less.. But please stop over cooking the chicken.“

“I came in and it was busy for people not being in eating I guess a lot of people order to go. I ordered the two scoop plate with the sweet pickles and eggs and the bbq scoop they are called Olivia’s Old South and Barbie Q they were soooooo good! As a bariatric patient it’s easier to eat this cause it’s not SUPER chunky the consistency is nice and the grape salad and pasta were great also I was able to finish the grape salad would love to take a big bowl home with me. The staff were nice and attentive and the lady at the register gave me a good amount of crackers when I asked for extra and the pickle was crispy food was fresh and tasty will for sure return don’t forget to download the app for rewards I forgot 😞“

“yummy macaroni with the chicken straps ahh“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Chick-fil-a is always nice to visit, the employees and managers are great. As busy as they are, you never have to wait a long time for your food. I wish I could say that about fast food restaurants who aren't as busy and take forever filling your order. They all need to take a lesson from Chick-fil-a“

“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“

“I had got a beef burrito and the kids meal with the chicken and rice and all of it was great. It was seasoned and it was fresh and I really really love it. The reason why I’m writing this is because I am extremely picky about my food and I took a chance and I’m glad I did“

“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.“

“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!

“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.“

“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!!“
