    Not a bad price for 3-4 mouths.

    Golden Chick in Leander, comes to the rescue for Friday night dinner for the family. We love the $13.99, 10 piece Legs and Thighs and just add the sides we want. I especially like their battered fries. But not too many make it home for the meal. The servers take precautions to protect you and themselves. The chicken is crispy and juicy. You can get your chicken Fried or for a healthier choice, rotisserie. They always get my order right. I've tried their Chicken Salad sandwich, another favorite. Try them out for dinner tonight. Tip the staff. They do a great job!

    Decent chicken Fries, Mac n cheese, mashed potatoes and rolls - meh Taters served cold The drive thru speaker is one you see portrayed in movies where it's Charlie Brown's teacher speaking back to you. There are too many chicken places to want to go here.

    Worst food my husband and I have ever had. Just spent $40 and we threw it all away. Tenders were so dry, sauce couldnt even hide it. Mashed potatoes ans gravy tasted like powder. Coleslaw was so very heavy on the Mayo. Such a waste of Money to still be hungry and have to re go out to get some edible food in the cold. Would never recommend this to anyone. You'll be wasting your money!

    Ordered fries got this! It is the nastiest thing I have ever put in my mouth! Explain that to a little boy.

    I really wanted to like it as this is what my grandsons wanted. So frustrating it took how many corrections to get it right. Once the order was right we pulled forward to pay. Got home to the missed side we paid extra for and the abysmal side they gave us, instead of fries, was not edible. No dipping sauces. You lost my business.

    Menu with Current Prices.

    Catching up on my reviews. (I take notes and keep receipts to ensure I'm on point when I enter it!) We visited this Golden Chick March 13, 2020 during lent. We enjoy Golden Chick for Chicken but we really like the way they cook their catfish. They are very flexible with their menu. They have many "combo" choices in roast chicken, fried chicken and southern fried catfish. Something that I had not seen on previous visits was fried shrimp. On this visit (take out as the news from all over the world was Covid 19 although we weren't under any orders yet) Friday the 13th it was lent and so we both opted for the Southern Fried Catfish Medium Combo. I ordered the 3 piece and hubby the 5 piece meal. This particular combo came with One Side and a Medium Drink. There was also a special where you could add three shrimp for $1.99 extra so we opted for one of those so that we could try the shrimp. Hubby got the macaroni and cheese for his side and I got the mashed potatoes and we also ordered an additional single side of their famous corn nuggets. Everything was hot and delicious and stay that way until I arrived home. I want to go back to the options to let you know they have a huge variety of sides -at least 9 options and you can get them in a single serving or a larger family style serving. We each tried a piece of the fried shrimp and it was good, however it is not something we would order again because we prefer the other main dish options over the shrimp. They also offer chicken and fish sandwiches, and several main dish salads along with a side salad. Their yeast rolls are light and fluffy and so tasty. They have several fountain beverage choices along with sweet and unsweet tea and pink lemonade. I have never had a bad experience at this location in Leander. I have use their drive-through, pick up, and dined in. The property is clean. Their associates are very friendly and very helpful! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and should you decide to go give some thought to trying the fish! It's so good even when it's not Lent

    The awesome crispy corn nuggets!  Try this.

Thought, on my way back, I'm stopping in. I arrived around 7pm on Friday night. The place was packed! All the seats were taken inside and a lot outside as well. Parking lot is kind of small, but it's in a shopping center, so you can find parking still nearby. As busy as it was inside, I walked right up to the counter, no lines. My cashier was nice and cheerful. One of her co-workers was leaving her shift for the night, and the 2 did a cute little hand shake. Took a minute to pick what I wanted. Basic cheese burger, fries, and a drink. I was given my receipt which had my order number on it. My whole meal was $9.00 Burger was outstanding. Crisp tomatoes, crisp lettuce. The bun is toasted but also soft. Cheeseburger also had a slice of white onion. Cheese was yellow cheese, and not melted on the burger. Loved the burger completely. Fries. Although the fries are fresh, and while I waited for my order, I could see a young lady putting potatoes through a fry cut slicer. I mean, you can literally see them being made. But they just didn't do it for me. They almost tasted stale. They were salted perfectly though. Very light salt. Perfect in that retrospect. I got a cherry Coke, although I don't drink soda often, I truly enjoyed the soda. Sometimes they have a syrup kind of taste. Cherry Coke didn't, and it was great. Didn't take long before they called my number. I sat along the bar against the window. I watched the drive thru cars leaving. The bar was clean, seat was clean, and the floor around was clean. The whole restaurant was super clean. One person was sweeping, another followed behind with a mop. It was like a perfect sync of cleaning duties. They had it down to a science. I did use the bathroom as well to wash my hands, and even the bathroom was clean, and well stocked with soap and paper seat covers and TP in the stalls. Even the trash cans looked like they had just been emptied. Even though they were cranking out food for the drive thru and inside, they still took time to keep the dinning area clean. Way To Go.

I quickly learned why it's a favorite among the elevated crowd, the sandwiches are named after different THC strains! Before anyone asks, no, the food is not infused. The names are just part of the fun. Now, I'm a toasted sub enthusiast, and a toasted sandwich is only as good as its bread. Thankfully, this place delivers. The menu is creative, the atmosphere is laid-back, and there are plenty of little touches that make it stand out. One of my favorite surprises was the drink fountain stocked with old-school Kool-Aid flavors. Instant nostalgia! They also have a full bar and outdoor seating, making it a great spot to kick back and hang out. Don't skip the house-made "smoker snacks" either. The Rice Krispie treats and cookies are dangerously good and worth saving room for. A heads-up: parking can be a little tight up front, but I've heard there's additional parking in the back. My biggest piece of advice? Go big. The small sandwich is basically foreplay, it'll leave you wanting more. Order the large and thank me later. Overall: Great food, fun theme, nostalgic drinks, tasty treats, and chill vibes. Definitely a spot worth checking out, whether you're a cannabis connoisseur or just someone who appreciates a solid sandwich.

The chicken was hot temp which I love! If I am going for fried, I want smoking hot out the grease hot! Cane's delivered that and the flavors, yes, the flavor is unmatched when dipped in the famous Cane's sauce. I now get all the talk on Sauce TOK. It's really that good. The Service was so friendly. Quick order & they were happy to provide my request for crispy fries. One thing about me, the crispier the fries, the better and if I am going to go fast food & with a non-complex carb, I want them HOT & Crispy. Not only did Cane's deliver the crispy fries, they surprised me with extra fries & BREAD (toasted on both sides as recommended).

First off, the service was good and we would give it 4 stars, but the food was lacking and more deserving of 2 stars. Our cashier was knowledgeable about the menu and patiently answered our questions. We were given a soda cup with a few pumps of vanilla and caramel syrups, then told to go get root beer to make our butter beer. Honestly, not a big deal, but we just didn't expect to have to put everything together. Our food came out super fast, about a 5-minute wait. The fried pickles looked appetizing at first (they're huge), but they use pickle chips and a ton of breading which affects the texture of the fried pickles. We were looking for a satisfying crunch to our pickles but instead it was mushy. The chicken tenders were also lacking the crispiness you'd expect from fried chicken fingers. The breading didn't seem to have much flavor, nor did the sauce they gave us. The chicken was no doubt tender and juicy. Happy hour prices give 1/2 off appetizers. But for the price we paid for everything, we didn't feel like it matched what we were given. We love to support small businesses and everyone deserves a second chance, but unfortunately this was a miss for us.

But that was some years ago, and I'm sure this cute multi-business of restaurants and stores wasn't here. Well, I'm in love, to say the least. I had to take care of some unexpected business today, and it happened to be in Georgetown. Well, how surprising it was that my business led me to this area. I think it's called Wolf Ranch. So after I finished, I took about two hours exploring, and Dave's Hot Chicken caught my eye. The building colors stood out, and the sign made me hungry. The hot chicken part of the sign stood out because I knew there would probably be honey with the garnishes, and I was right. But how good was the chicken sandwich! I don't want to call it a sandwich or anything like that. It's more than a sandwich. I like to call it a gourmet sandwich. One reason is that Dave doesn't use the traditional bun. Dave's buns are connected on the side, and they're very soft, petite, buttery buns, toasted. So, I went with the medium heat, and I love that the rub is placed all over the skin. The meat itself is very tender inside. I like that the skin is soft and crisp with the right amount of crunch. I love the pickles they chose to use along with the coleslaw as its toppings. It was really good. The fries are the old-fashioned kind. I love that too. They were thick, well-seasoned, and very tasty. I'm so happy I found this place. I certainly will be visiting again and again!!

From the moment you walk in, the experience is noticeable. The space is clean, modern, and welcoming without feeling overdone or impersonal. It strikes that balance where you can grab a quick meal or actually sit down and enjoy your time there. The staff sets the tone immediately. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely engaged, not just going through the motions. You can tell there's intention behind the service, and that matters. The food is where they really separate themselves. Everything came out fresh, hot, and exactly how it should. The burgers were flavorful, well-balanced, and cooked right. Not greasy, not sloppy, just done right. The crinkle-cut fries had that perfect crisp on the outside with a soft interior, and the shakes were exactly what you want them to be, rich without being overwhelming. It's one of those meals where nothing feels like an afterthought. Every item holds its own. What stood out just as much as the food and service was the environment they've created. There's a clear sense that this is a place where people are welcome, period. Inclusive, respectful, and comfortable for everyone walking through the door. That kind of atmosphere doesn't happen by accident. It reflects leadership, culture, and a commitment to doing things the right way. In a time where people pay attention to how businesses treat others, that matters just as much as what's on the menu. And that's really what this place gets right. It's not just about good burgers. It's about consistency, quality, and creating an experience people actually want to come back to. Whether you're stopping in after work, grabbing a quick bite, or bringing friends or family, it holds up. If you're in Cedar Park and haven't checked it out yet, it's worth your time. And if you have, you already know exactly what I'm talking about.
