I’ve been trying to get to this place for two or three months and was looking forward to my dinner tonight. Unfortunately, it was pretty close to the worst I’ve ever had. Granted, I probably made a mistake by ordering it to go. I arrived at 8:45 which was the pick up time. Checked my text messages when I got back to the car from picking up the order and it appears the order was ready at 8:33? I’m sorry, but if the restaurant is going to have an order ready almost 15 minutes early, they shouldn’t put it in a tightly sealed bag. I immediately opened the bag to let the steam and moisture out before I left the restaurant. Grabbed a tender for the trip home and it was a steamed soggy mess. Tried the pickle and the breading just slid off of it because it was also steamed. Same with the Fry’s. They really need to find a way to hold the meal under a heat lamp or something instead of putting it into a bag to steam, especially if it’s ready 15 minutes early. I’m sorry, but the meal was a complete disappointment.

Excellent juicy chicken. Great sauces. Fried pickle and chips were amazing. Took a good while for the food to be delivered, but it was worth the experience. Kinda cool location too, if you enjoy dining outdoors. Very eclectic and exciting vibe.

My review would be too long if I wrote how I truly feel. The staff is fantastic, the chicken out of this world. Please just go here. The end.

The Thirsty Chicken – Review
✅ What’s Good: - Fun Atmosphere: Casual, lively spot with a laid-back vibe — great for groups or catching a game. - Solid Comfort Food: Known for crispy fried chicken, sandwiches, wings, and pub-style sides like fries and mac & cheese. - Drink Selection: Good range of local beers, cocktails, and happy hour deals. - Friendly Service: Staff often praised for being upbeat and attentive.
⚠️ Things to Note: - Can Get Noisy: Especially during weekends or events — not ideal for a quiet meal. - Wait Times: Service can slow down during peak hours. - Limited Healthy Options: Mostly indulgent food — don’t expect many light or low-cal dishes.

Really delicious fried chicken with a huge variety of flavoring options! The staff was very friendly and took us through the different options on the menu. We got the Cajun, garlic Parmesan, and medium buffalo. The Cajun was the standout to us! Also, the daiquiris were delicious and transported us back to NOLA. We will be back very soon!

Best wing place around! The Garlic Parm is our all time favorite wing flavor! We also love the atmosphere and to sit on the patio with the kids and have a casual dinner, play some of the games they have, and watch sports.

Chicken was tender but the coating was overcooked. The fried pickles were not the original dill and were also overcooked.

Every experience I'd had with Thirsty Chicken has been phenomenal! from ordering for just myself, or for an event at the community I work for, the service and hospitality has always been top tier. The food is amazing as well! We received so much positive feedback from the residents we hosted this past weekend. Definitely worth the hype!

They were sponsored at a residence event where i live and it was super yummy! If you haven’t tried them i definitely recommend!
Get the 20 wing combo every time and really like the flavors they offer. The fried pickles are some of the best and a must go to if you live in Leander

The food and the service was really bad, this place used to be great but it feels like the owners just don’t care anymore.

Used to be a big patron and been here quite a few times, really loved the food the first couple of times but as of late the quality took a deep dive. Always out of something, sometimes food will be extremely overcooked and has been soggy more than once, and takes a looong time to come out even when there is nobody else in the place nor a bunch of online orders. Customer service is also VERY hit or miss, they could be decent but more often than not you will always feel like an inconvenience. Definitely not what it used to be, give it a try if you want to gamble $30 for a subpar dining experience.

Are you even kidding me!? SO good - lemon pepper wings have me feeling like I'm in heaven. Never going to Wingstop again. Super cool vibes inside- although we just did an order pick up. Will def be back... a lot
