This is a 3.5 rounded down to 3. Let me start of by saying the people working here are really friendly. My first time here was at the drive thru. I ordered some chicken and also asked what gizzards were and a guy came out and handed my food and also included some gizzards to try on the house. That was very kind of him. I've been back a few times since then and service has been good each time. The reason for the low stars is that the chicken is really bland. There's no seasoning at all and more often than not, it's a bit too salty. This is particularly true for the gizzards. There are no unique dipping sauces to offset the blandness or anything offered in a cajun/spicy version. If it were a choice between KFC and Bush's Chicken, I would pick Bush's without question. But when you include other chains of fried chicken fast food restaurants such as Popeyes or Churches, the appeal starts to wear off. Even Raising Cane which suffers from similar issues as Bush's is still a little less bland and has that special sauce to go along with it. Their sweet tea is super good though! read more

Apparently unless you pull into lane #1 you are left to sit while everyone that pulled in after you places their order. That pisses me off.

Tender gizzards and delicious. Everything could use a bit more seasoning; the batter and gravy. But I could eat this stuff all day! Hot, fresh and delicious read more

Well it's fast food fried chicken with a nice dining room. The chicken is pretty good and they also have tenders and gravy. They have an interesting 3 lane drive thru where they will come out to the car and wait on you in person. To alleviate the back and forth trips you can have your money or credit card ready so they can do it all when they get your food. They have very good (sweet) tea available by the cup or gallon. read more

Bush's Chicken - Cedar Park - Fast Food Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Oh Bush's, How I do love you! Bush's Fried Chicken = divine Manager's Special, 3 tenders, one side (I prefer the mashed potatoes), a roll, a side of gravy, and a drink for $5.25. How can you lose? Breading is so light that you can eat a ton of these things, dipping them in gravy laced with some hot sauce if you are like me. Not greasy, crispy outside, tender and juicy inside. Good gravy.. oh did I say gravy? I meant goodness gracious! Yummm! Quick service inside. Never been through the drive-thru so I have no opinion on that. But inside is efficient, food brought out quickly, tables clean and kept wiped down, even during the rush. Why only 4 stars you ask? Because I've not been able to pull myself away from the tenders in order to try anything else! Don't worry, I will. read more

Pretty decent fried chicken, not terrific, but not bad at all. They closed the KFC right around the corner from my house, so after much lamenting I found this place farther out. Their chicken's sufficiently good, but their rolls are pretty tight. I'm a man of simple taste; I love rolls. read more

This is the best guilty pleasure fast food chain for fried chicken out there. Chicken has the crispy skin and juicy meat. They have sweet rolls and all the fixings for a good southern meal, fried okra and Mac n cheese. Service is usually very friendly and accommodating. They also have a happy hour menu good for snacking. read more

Incredible service! Along with amazing fried chicken, and biscuits to die for! Bush's is usually my #1 pick for fried chicken!

This is our first time to Bush's chicken and we were pleasantly surprised at how large the chickens are! We both got #2 and I should have just gotten one piece rather than two. They're huge! Came out super hot and fresh. I'm not a fan of their cole slaw so next time I'll try a different side but super please! And the cashier was friendly, informative and a jokester. read more

Love their chicken! They're always super customer service oriented even though the younger kids can be forgetful at times

2 stars cause the food is always pretty good. But not 5 stars because today as I bought my food with a debit card, I was told it was declined. Having come from the bank and depositing $1000, with $900 still in the bank, there's no way my card was declined other than the reason that your system is out of date. My encouragement- catch up with the times or continue to lose customers that frequent your business. Andy and or David (the managers on site tonight, 9-11)- one of you all attempted to "help" me tonight. I hope that your leadership teaches you empowerment. read more

The food was very tasty but probably not go back based on the size of the chicken tenders. Very tiny for the price paid. read more

Bush's Chicken - Cedar Park - Fast Food Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

I can't say enough Good about this place! Great chicken tenders, Great sides...we love the fried okra!! We have been here several times and will definitely be back!! read more

The Cedar Park location does NOT have outdoor dining, as shown on Yelp. They are takeout only. There is no trash receptacle outside. They never have livers and gizzards even at lunch hour (See other comments on waiting!). No time to wait for half a store. No idea if they are friendly, but I'd venture to guess they don't have to be since they don't have to actually offer service to customers other than drive-thru. Note to self - go to the location @ Lakeline. read more

To begin with, this is not about the food, service cleanliness etc. I think that all the aforementioned are good. This is about a stupid corporate policy and the employees, including the manager to understand reality. I went last night to get some chicken tenders for dinner. A nice young lady immediately greeted me and asked for my order. I chose the six piece chicken tender deal that included a roll, a side and a drink. The deal was reasonably priced at $7.99. I chose green beans for a side and declined the soda. The clerk then punched the register keys and the price magically jumped to over ten dollars. I wondered why the increase. I asked why the price went up when I was requesting less product. The clerk said "That's what we do". A younger me would have gone nuclear in a nanno second but now, a mature me does a slow burn that apparently, the clerk could see. The clerk called a manager who simply underlined the clerks explanation. I guess that I had turned the color of the Yelp banner by then because he opened the register and gave me some change. I stated that perhaps I simply should have taken the unwanted soda and then thrown it in the trash. I left. Would not a better policy have been to offer me a second roll in place of the soda ? I understand how corporate pricing works, they have a target guest check for each customer but cant deal with someone who is not asking for additional product at the same price, but rather someone who wants less product at the same price. A special kind of stupid. read more

Happy hour price for a gallon of tea, yes please!! Good food and the drive through is very organized and got us out of there quickly

Best chicken in Texas.. Even better gizzard meal. But because of covid, the inside dining is closed. So either eat in your car or have it soggy by the time you get home. Still good food, good portion, good price! read more

Don't know what others are talking about as far as bad reviews. Fort Stockton Bush's Chicken gets 5 stars from me. As far as chicken, it's really good home style chicken. Don't compare this to Popeyes because it's a different style. Breast was crunchy on outside and super juicy on inside. Okra was crisp and tender. Good mashed potatoes and gravy. Staff was 5+ stars. So friendly, courteous, and helpful. For young kids working at this type of restaurant, they were awesome (which you don't see much these days elsewhere). They know what teamwork is all about. Maybe that's the difference in a small hometown. Family values. Will definitely make this a regular stop on the road. read more

Great fast service. Very clean building and friendly employees. It was my first experience at a Bush's chocked and it was amazing. It has now just become my favorite and go to chicken place. read more

Tasty chicken at a reasonable cost. I hate that the macaroni is liquidy and bland.Try the pepper poppers, they are delicious. I would not recommend to go by when they are about close. The chicken at the end of the day is old and will upset your stomach the next day read more

Horrible service. Nobody seemed to want to help. Finally got someone to take my order and they forgot items then didn't want to help me again after they messed up my order read more

I don't eat their chicken because it's not sourced locally. Their rolls are insane, they know what Texas Sweet Tea is meant to be and their salads are fresh! Stop by and get some rolls for your next Sunday roast! read more

Really good fried chicken from a fast food place. I love dipping the chicken in the country gravy. If they only had spicy chicken that would be so perfect. read more

oh my gawd this sweet tea is to die for and dont get me started on dat juicey ass chicken

So being a fatty, I set out on a fried chicken lunch quest with my friend and coworker. In one week we hit Popeye's, KFC, Golden Chick, Church's, and Bush's. My notes for Bush's chicken (because I really did take notes) were: very good flavor, giant pieces, cheap, great gravy, awesome chicken strips, light, crispy, non-greasy, boring rolls as opposed to biscuits, no "spicy" option The chicken is always fresh and I can attest to it by the stroke I almost had when I saw someone take the WHOLE 20 pounds of chicken strips and send them to the trash can. I begged them for a justification to this heinous crime and the reply was "they were over [some ridiculously short time period] old and that's our rule". I asked if I may please take the trash out for him and he laughed and politely rejected my offer. This will always be my first choice for fried chicken as long as my heart still beats. wait..... ARRRRRRrrrrrgggghhhhhhhhh..................... read more

When I die, I will be buried with a bucket or box of fried chicken. Bush's is the best fried chicken I can remember. The batter is crunchy, but not hard. The chicken is very juicy. The spices are not overpowering so you can really taste the chicken. The rolls are buttery and soft. The mac n cheese is alright and my kids enjoyed the corn on the cob. 10 large pieces of chicken, 2 sides, and rolls for about $22.00. One thing about this place is they have an inefficient drive thru (3 lanes, a waitress goes outside and takes your order, goes back in to get the food, goes outside to collect the bill, and goes back in to process the bill, goes back out to give you a receipt). I can see this being a problem if there is a long line, but since, fatty foods are out of favor, I don't foresee a problem in the near future. read more

Chicken is cooked very well. Sides are good but someone didn't get the memo regarding MSG. The green beans and the seasoning on the table are loaded with it. The quality of chicken is fantastic and the freshness of the sides are consistent. Its a well deserved trip provided that you heed a MSG warning for anyone sensitive. read more

There's not much to say about fried fried fried fried food except this place does it better than most other fast food frying places. I don't know why I love gizzards, tenders, and sweet tea so much. Considering where my palette usually leans, this is truly a guilty pleasure that I cannot resist. Not sure what they have done to those poor little chickens to make them taste so delicious but there is no other place in the Austin area I have found that can do it this good. Service is also superb and they have the most efficient process down. I was impressed watching them. Whatcha' waitin' fer - get on over thar and eatem' you some vittles ya' hear! read more

Ordered my chicken only to get home and find out they gave me wrong order, called to speak to manager who said his name was AJ and his manger was "miss Rachel", he proceeded to tell me he couldn't verify that I got the wrong order because he wasn't outside when I ordered, , I thought I was in the twilight zone but turns out I was only speaking to a very uneducated mamager read more

Pull up to the drive thru and out come servers to wait on you! No window here! Best non greasy fried chicken in Austin! Happy hour here is like 3-5. Get big discounts on drinks and chicken biscuits! The service here is quick, with a smile and the chicken is very good. Rolls good as well. I didnt give it a five though because frankly the fries are not very good at all. Thank you Bush's for helping me add five lbs to my gut the last month!! read more

There is a clear difference between chicken fingers and CHICKEN TENDERS. One is BLAH and the other is BAM! I've got this inexplicable love for chicken tenders that borders on obsessive. Bush's sits atop the Chicken Tender Hierarchy (CTH for short, very scientific). When it comes to choosing local purveyors of chicken tenders, I rank them as follows. 1. Bush's & Chicken Express (tie) 2. Golden Chick (aka Golden Fried Chicken) 3. Bill Miller. What I look for in a chicken tender is one that is juicy, flavorful, meaty, and coated in a light-golden, crispy batter. Bush's is full of WIN. When I need to get ma' Fatty Fix on, it's just Tenders, White cream gravy, and Sweet Tea. The chicken is always fresh and the tea is absurdly cheap. Bush's has found their niche in the market and does an incredible job in the chicken biz. P.S. Recently, I strayed from my routine and discovered something new! I highly recommend the chicken gizzards to my fellow foodies. They are texturally fun to eat...similar to the joy I get from chewing tapioca balls in bubble tea. I'm quickly becoming addicted to them too. read more

I love everything about this location, however, the ice tea has a disgusting taste, perhaps the brewing system needs a good cleaning.

First of all let me say I love bushes chicken especially love their gizzards and livers. With that being said don't ever order from a delivery service. The reason I say this is because for the last four times I've ordered gizzards and livers from this store they have been so dried out they must've been sitting around for hours and they're not even chewable. It's disgusting and horrible I keep hope hoping that I will get a fresh batch but that doesn't happen when you order out. I've tried from several different delivery services and it seems that the bushes seems to dump all the old and crummy dried out stuff to people that order online. I hope this review corrects that. I wants went in there and ordered in person and the person that was filling my order said can you wait a few minutes and I'll put some fresh ones in these have been sitting out for a while. That's the only reason I would order them again. Get your stuff together bushes, we pay a lot more for delivery we expect the same that we get in person step up your game. read more

Love this place. There sweet tea is soooo good. There chicken is amazing. Always fast service and there employees are always so nice. I love that it's right down the road from where I live. :) I would highly recommend this place to my friends and family. read more

ENVIRONMENT: I hit the drive through on my way to Dallas so I don't know what the experience would be inside. But from the looks of everything it seemed that everyone was having a good time inside. PRICING: Surprised that was about to get as much food as I received for only $9.00. Yeah I said $9.00. It was almost a steal. SERVICE: There was a line wrapped around the corner so the workers came outside and took the orders curbside. Very nice and polite people. Got the food very fast. But what do we really care about? THE FOOD! I picked up a 3 price breast meal and boy were these the BIGGEST pieces of chicken I have ever seen! They had a good crispy coat of seasoning and although the chicken was crispy, the actual meat was tender and juicy. Whew.... I give it a 2 CB Thumbs Up! I have spoken..... read more

Clean restaurant. Great service, in a sort of organized chaos kind of way. Good prices. Nasty tea (I think maybe it was stale?). Rolls are just dinner rolls. Okra could use some salt, it's mostly just batter on okra. The fried liver was pretty good. I'll probably come back for the liver alone. I'd go more often if they had a real North Austin location. Driving that deep in to Cedar Park from Duval and Research is a bit of a chore...but not that bad of a drive, if I'm interested in driving. "God Bless" on the door going out indicates that they are probably a pretty heavily Christian organization. Not sure if they're just competing with Chick-fil-a for that niche, or if they're trying to be nice, but I'll personally keep an eye out for batcrap crazy fundie funding if they continue to grow. read more

Always have a good experience here. Friendly staff and the same manager is always there making sure everything is running smoothly with great customer service. Honestly every thing on the menu is great! I always get their chicken tenders with gravy or regular chicken and sprinkle their awesome seasoning they have on each table. Deeeelicious! :) I definitely recommend this location. Not sure what the new one is like near lakeline mall, haven't been to that one just yet. read more
