    Definitivamente NO lo recomiendo. Ordenamos pollo asado que…read moreincluye los extras, en adicional agregamos cebolla asada y otra orden de arroz. Justo estaba habriendo el local y no tenian la comida lista, nos tubimos que estacionar al lado y esperar alrededor de 20 minutos, teniamos prisa y solamente agarrmos el pedido sin checarlo ( BUUU Error) nos faltaron las salsas y solamente nos dieron un paquetito induvidual de tenedor con servilleta, la cebolla parecia que la pusieron a hervir en vez de azarla, estaba toda sin sabor, remojada ya apachurrada los solamente nos dieron una mitad de limon y estaba completamente seco y duro. Bueno llame por teléfono al local y me dejaron que cuando tuviera tiempo podria regresar por lo que falto, al mencionar que estaba encamino fuera de la ciudad me dijien que igual podia regresar cuando pudiera y me daban las salsas y mas limones " HELOOOOO" mal servicio y la comida no es recomendable.

    I've driven by this hole in the wall (literally. A taco truck has more visibility than this) so…read moremany times and have been intrigued by the plumes of smoke rising from the back. Finally I stopped by with a friend after a long bike ride and we took home a whole chicken to split. Um. Everything was DELICIOUS! The whole chicken came with soft corn tortillas, salsas, and a side each of beans and rice. An grilled/roasted (aka slightly charred) onion was wrapped up in parchment with the chicken, absorbing yummy chicken flavors that was pulled apart for tacos. Everything was flavorful and the beans were studded with bacon chunks in it. Yes, it was that good! The chicken was really flavorful. Very savory and perfectly charred. . It's mesquite grilled chicken but I don't think I've had anything like it.. Unlike typical American barbecue, this wasn't sweet at all. Some of the white meat pieces were a bit dry, so I ate them with the beans and all was well.

    Rating: 4.3/5 [Delivery]…read more I found Delulu on UberEats (4.8 stars) and Google (5 stars) but didn't see it on Yelp. They were running a BOGO deal on Postmates so we decided to try it, and they did not disappoint! Generous portion sizes that could easily feed a family. The flavors were bold--sometimes a little overwhelming--so the whole meal felt like going from one extreme to another. Mango Crunch ($12.99): Lettuce, cabbage, kale, and mango salad tossed in green ranch, topped with LimeLu bites. This was yummy and could have been my favorite if it wasn't drenched in dressing. They added so much green ranch that I had to mix in rice to balance it out. Big Lu ($18.99): Comes with two chicken bites and two sides. The chicken was juicy, not super crispy after delivery, but still tasty. MadLu: Green curry, sour cream, and hot sauce. I expected Thai-inspired flavors since their sandwich version is called Mad Thai, but it leaned more Indian with the green curry. WaterLu: Hot maple, mustard, and smoked butter. I liked it better without the mustard since it was very strong and overpowering. Rice & Noods: Skip this side. The noodles were hard, and this side didn't add much. Fries: Nothing special, but good if you crisp them up in an air fryer. Corn Ribs ($5.90): Tossed with chili cream and spicy togarashi. The corn was soft, flavorful, and easily the best corn ribs we've had in Austin so far. Not sure which item the pickled cucumber, cabbage, and onion salad came with, but it was very sour.

    PRO TIP: If you're ordering for take-out, call the restaurant directly to place your order! When I…read morewent to go pick up my order, the cashier was graciously enough to inform me that their website is powered through DoorDash so if you order online, all the prices are unfortunately higher than their menu...so unfortunate to hear :( As for the food, I ordered the 3 Piece White Meat Chicken Plate, which came with 2 chicken breasts and 1 wing (they surprisingly give the full wing), and it comes with toast, baked beans, and cole slaw be default. You can exchange the default sides for some other options for a little extra charge. It was wonderful to see how generous the portion sizes were, including the sides! The chicken was perfectly friend and breaded in my opinion while keeping the white meat tender -- it was still like that even after I put the leftovers in the air fryer the next day. The baked beans were very flavorful and the sweetness complimented the savory chicken well. The cheer on top moment was the fact that the chicken was seasoned with a spicy seasoning so there was a bit of a subtle spicy aftertaste in each bite! I'll definitely be back again! :)

    Dry chicken is already a rough start, but when the place builds its entire identity around fried…read morechicken, it becomes the whole story. The chicken we had was dry enough that the crust felt like the only source of moisture. Flavor-wise, it never really arrived -- just basic chicken, none of that deep, savory, robust profile you expect from a place that claims world‑famous status. It wasn't offensive, just forgettable, which is almost worse for a fried‑chicken joint. Service was fine -- not warm, not cold, just functional. But being out of sweet tea, a southern staple and practically part of the cultural contract of fried chicken, didn't help the mood. And honestly, even if they'd had it, the chicken wasn't good enough for sweet tea to save the experience. Overall, Gus's felt like a place coasting on reputation rather than execution. Dry chicken, muted flavor, and missing sweet tea make it hard to justify a return visit.

    I was hopping into the Aristocrat Lounge for a private event and after getting there a little too…read moreearly, my buddy and I decided to hit up Happy Chicks for a quick bite beforehand. I've been to their location off 6th street, but I couldn't remember a thing. Here, I knew I wouldn't forget. Happy Chicks off Burnet is small. There's like 5 tables inside, and the line's path wraps around them. Their menu is simple. Chicken fingers? If so, how many? I ordered their Happy Chick with 3 tenders that I got spicy. All orders come with fries plus an extra side and a sauce. I got a side of their mac and cheese and some honey mustard. Chicken is an uphill battle especially if it's cooked shortly after ordering. 10 minutes later, and our food was served to us outside. The breading on those tenders was intense. They were crispy with an earth-shattering crunch with plenty of flavor. The spicy was not spicy whatsoever. Just a slightly more seasoned tender. The fries were crispy and a pretty standard affair at a local spot like Happy Chicks. The mac was a great side choice as I thought they did a pretty nice job with them as well. The prices were pretty fair with a chicken sandwich costing $9.99 and my 3-piece meal costing me a cool $12.50 There's so many chicken tender spots going around in Texas, but it's always cool to come to an Austin-localized spot to mack down on some poultry.

    Always solid Korean fried chicken here! In my opinion, they do the original fried chicken best,…read moreespecially if you prefer it crispy and flavorful without being covered in sauce. A cold beer or bottle of soju is practically essential alongside the chicken, and they always have both available. The food usually takes around 20 minutes to come out, but you can call ahead about 10-15 minutes before arriving to shorten the wait. The staff and servers are laid-back and friendly, making this an easy spot for a casual meal and drinks.

It is great paired with the rice, and the pickled radish is a good palate cleanser. However, the service from the male servers is consistently disappointing. Every time I visit when they are working, the service is significantly slower. I often see them standing around doing nothing while the female servers are running around doing most of the work. They rarely check in on the table unless food is being delivered, and getting the check takes forever even when they are just standing by the register. My party and I usually have to walk up to the register ourselves just to ask to be checked out. I feel bad for the female staff because they are perfectly attentive and seem to be carrying the weight of the service. Also, a heads up on their rewards program: it's pretty weak. You earn 100 points per $1, but you need 5,000 points just for a side of steamed rice. Spending $50 for a $2 side doesn't feel like much of a reward. I hope management addresses the service imbalance because the food is great, but the experience depends entirely on who is working that day.

    I stopped by Donkey Mo's and ordered the 5-piece jumbo wings with the soy garlic sauce, and let me…read moretell you...these wings were HUGE! The skin was incredibly crispy (just how I like it!) and the soy garlic sauce had a great balance of sweet and savory flavor without being overpowering. They definitely didn't skimp on the size either--5 wings was more than enough! I skipped the sides this time because I wanted to focus on the wings, but their onion rings caught my eye, so I'll definitely be back to give those a try. Now...the only downside was the parking. It looked like the front parking lot had been freshly painted because every parking space was blocked off with cones. Everything appeared dry, so I wasn't sure why the cones were still there. That forced everyone to park in the back, which was already super congested. I mentioned it to the staff, but they didn't seem too concerned. Honestly, if I hadn't been determined to try this place--or if it had been any hotter outside or I hadn't gotten lucky finding a parking spot--I probably would've left. Thankfully, the wings made up for the inconvenience! If they can get the parking situation figured out, this spot will be an even better experience. I'll definitely be back...and next time, those onion rings are coming home with me!

    It's been a hot minute since I've been able to try Donkey Mo's since they got a brick and mortar…read more I'd say this is still a very enjoyable Korean fried chicken place. I got the 10-pc jumbo wings, which allowed me to try 2 flavors. For one of the flavors I got Holy Donkey but I don't feel like the heat was really there. But still overall, tasty chicken! I got some sides to go and they were perfectly fried though I'm a bit sad to see a small side of pickled radish just doesn't come with Korean fried chicken (though you can purchase some but I had already bought 2 sides and didn't want to spend $5 for radish). Overall, the folks working there were friendly, my food was good, and I didn't have to wait too long for my food to go.
