Amazing chicken!!! I didn't expect such a gem inside a Shell, next time you drive by give it a try Edit: it didn't sit super well but hey risk it for the biscuit!

Walked in with low expectations at the end of a Friday drive from the north country. They were about to close, but rustled up a family order of chicken tenders that made everyone happy.

Its not Krispy Krunch anymore.Its Hot & Spicy Chicken now.Menu is changed but some food is still exactly the same. Unfortunately drinks are not included with combo choices anymore.I dont know why restaurants are normalizing this.If no drink included why even label it a combo?

Sure it's inside a Shell gas station but dang great crispy nicely done chicken. Might be the best fried chicken I've had. Worth a try if you love fried chicken! Price was good too!

The chicken was ok. I asked for a fish fillet and was told 9 minutes; I said ok. The girl barely spoke English but didn't speak any other language. I speak Spanish and German along with English . She then told me no fish. Anyway the chicken was dry.

The chicken tenders were a thousand times better than I expected! I could only eat two they were so big! Cooked all the way through but still juicy with a crispy outside. Originally stopped merely due to convenience while I was at a job and was thoroughly impressed. Staff was efficient and effective. Might even go back on a day off!

Good chicken but they won't serve you close to closing time. No chicken tonight got here at 740 pm

Same 5 stars here. Was searching for fried chicken and was drawn to the reviews. They are right! When we have leftovers I warm them up in the microwave then a few minutes in the air fryer, good as new. It's hard to stop eating them. We are hooked. Hope this place stays just as it is. Will add photos in an edit.

Like many people, I was skeptical of chicken from a gas station, but after repeatedly being disappointed in the fried chicken at the only other place in Dripping Springs, I decided to try it. Oh. My. Goodness. It's SO good!! I'm not a fan of Cajun chicken, but it was hot, fresh, and juicy, but not greasy. I bought 3 pieces and planned to save one for the next day. It was so delicious, I scarfed it all down when I got home. I've heard from others that they'll make it fresh why you wait if you go inside. I may try that next time, but honestly it was perfectly fresh at the drive-thru. I hear they have fried okra, so I plan to try that next time. We don't have many dining choices in Dripping, so that makes this place extra-special. I'll be going here regularly, now that I've discovered how good it is.
I was on my way to a job and stopped by a gas station to grab a snack... saw they had fried chicken and I was iffy but I got some anyway... best fried chicken Ive had down here hands down. Super crispy outside and juicy inside... This chicken had me in my car like flipping out like "Yo how is this chicken this good?" Lucys/tumble/Gus never had me feeling like this chicken does... if you see a sign for Krispy Krunchy at a gas station pull over and get some... I promise you will not be disappointed.

Y'all. This is the magical chicken you never know you needed and wanted. But you do. Yes, it's inside the Shell gas station. Don't let that stop you. Wrap your mind around it and strut proudly into that gas station. Get the chicken. Get the okra. Get the mashed potatoes and gravy. And whatever else you do, DO NOT FORGET THE BISCUITS! Everything is cooked to order so be patient. And be kind. You won't regret it. No greasy belly aches. No sluggishness afterwards. Just delicious memories. Get some.

Among the very best fried chicken I’ve had in my 13+ years living in the Austin area. Simply fantastic! Everything was great - 2-piece mix, cajun tenders, boudin, jambalaya and the honey butter biscuits. Highly recommend!

One day I had to pull over to look up something on my phone and I was like what, chicken at a shell station?! I laughed and didn't think about it again until today! I was starving and didn't feel like having a sit down lunch somewhere. I ordered the chicken tenders and a honey butter biscuit, my hubs was even wanting a snack so he got these ball things that had sausage in them. I can't remember what he had because I was so focused in on my chicken but he said they were good. Now for my chicken it was so good! Crunchy and flavorful!! It was also real chicken meat and not that questionable processed meat. Now for the biscuit!! Ohhhhhh that biscuit was the best biscuit I've had all through Texas!! I actually went back inside and got four more! They are lightly sweet perfectly buttered and the flavors are addicting! It also has a slight crunch on the out side but soft and not to doughy on the inside. I swear I'm glad I live close! I look forward to trying everything they have on the menu for sure!
