Fried 2 Tenders Plate
Kelsey D.

Big fan of Nashville hot chicken, however have never tried the Hattie B's location in South Austin until this visit. The parking was a little wonky, with limited parking options in both the front and back, but I was able to find a spot at the tail-end of the dinner rush. My friend and I ordered quickly at the counter, and sat at one of Hattie B's outdoor tables to enjoy the Spring night. I ordered the quarter bird dark plate, medium spice level, with pimento Mac & cheese. The Mac & cheese was creamy with just a hint of pimento peppers, and the fried chicken was hot and crunchy, although a bit salty and less spicy than expected. (Next time I'll probably move up a level to "hot".) My friend ordered a fried two tenders plate, also medium spice level, and fries. We enjoyed the crispy crinkle-cut fries with Hattie B's special seasoning. We chose the Nashville Comeback Sauce for our dipping sauce, which is like a mustard-ketchup-mayo aioli: pretty good! Liked how quick it was to order and receive our food, and the perfect portion size for a lunch or dinner. Pro tip -- check out the cute hot chicken wallpaper in the restroom. Adorable! Will be back the next time I'm craving hot chicken.

Grilled Sandwich
Terence S.

Quick lunch stop with coworkers before a flight, and Hattie B's Austin came through. The fryers were down because of the storm the night before, which normally would have been a letdown, especially since my coworkers had never been to the original Nashville hot chicken spot before. But the staff handled it really well. They were fast, apologetic, and refreshingly colloquial, not stiff or robotic, just real people taking care of customers and keeping things moving. Since fried chicken was off the table, I went with the grilled chicken, and honestly it was excellent. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and flavorful enough that it did not feel like a consolation prize. Maybe this was the universe giving my cholesterol a temporary reprieve. The collards were just okay and not the strongest part of the meal, but everything else made up for it. The restaurant itself was super clean, and you could tell this newer location is well cared for. At about two years old, it still felt sharp, polished, and well run. I've been to several Hattie B's locations over the years, including the original in Nashville, Franklin, and Atlanta, where I once saw a woman riding a horse down the street in front of the store, which remains one of the more unforgettable restaurant-adjacent moments of my life. Austin compared well with all of them. Bonus points, there was no line, so we had a quick lunch with coworkers and still made it to the airport early. Not the exact Hattie B's experience we expected, but still a very good one, and a place I'd absolutely come back to.

Loves: the warm welcome, fast service, fun music at a volume where you can still talk with your party, a number of TVs with the game on, plenty of seating, and a small yard area with games like big connect four. And Barq's on tap. It's better than the North location (which was so SALTY I didn't think I'd try a Hattie B's again). The portions are pretty generous. It's about $15-20 per person for a meal and a drink. We ordered the three big chicken tenders, fries, a blue cheese chicken sandwich, waffles, 2 sodas and a beer. It was all fine; it's just not my absolute favorite.

Hattie B's is an incredible value. The service is top-notch. They bring the food out very quickly consider considering it is fried. The chicken portions are very generous, and the chicken is cooked so well- I do not know how they get the chicken so juicy! Ambience is fast casual. You order out a counter and get a number. Our favorite is the crispy chicken sandwich with the special sauce and fries. Only negative I have to add is some of their sides aren't the best- the coleslaw wad over-sauced and sweet, and the mac n cheese tasted very bland. Fries are A++ though!

Tav S.

I've tried a few different hot chicken spots -- including a well-known one here in Austin that I won't name -- and Hattie B's beats them all. I ordered the Medium Hot Chicken sandwich with a side of fries. The chicken was juicy, the sauce they use was perfect, and even the coleslaw was good... and I'm not even a coleslaw person. 10/10 on the sandwich. The fries were perfectly crispy but just a tad too salty for me -- 6/10. The vibe was dope. There's bar seating, a full dining area, and plenty of room on the patio. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice breeze, which made the experience even better. If you're ever in the South Lamar area, definitely check them out.

Fried Sandwich, Fried 3 Tenders Plate, Fried Pickles, Pimento Mac & Cheese, Comeback sauce, Watermelon Marg
Danny W.

Let's cut to the chase - the hype is real and the fried chicken won't disappoint you whether you get it in a sandwich or not. Not the best I've ever had but juicy and worthy of a visit. As far as the sides go, I'd definitely recommend getting the fried pickles and dipping them in the comeback and/or ranch sauce. While the mac n cheese is really popular, I wasn't too fond of it but maybe I'm just not a pimento guy. The watermelon marg was a little sweet but I'd still get it again. Even though the line was long, the staff was friendly and I'll definitely come by and try some other dishes (desserts looked great).

Dirty Fries with side of coleslaw
Stevie K.

LOVE that a Hattie B's was brought to Texas and in Austin, for that matter! I always make it a point to stop here when in Nashville, so happy I don't have to travel as far now! I love everything on the menu- seriously! You cannot go wrong, and you have a choice in heat preference when ordering that will appease to anyone.

Blu M.

I tried Hattie B's for the first time and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I ordered the chicken sandwich in mild because I have a low tolerance for spice, and it was perfect still had a nice kick, but totally manageable. The chicken itself was juicy, crispy, and flavorful, and honestly every bite was amazing. The sandwich comes with a side of your choice, and I went with the pimento mac and cheese. It was super cheesy, creamy, and delicious -- definitely a standout. I also tried the coleslaw, which was fresh, crunchy, and the perfect balance to the heat of the chicken. Overall, a great meal from start to finish. Highly recommend Hattie B's if you want quality hot chicken with sides that hit just as hard!

Introduced my hubby to Hattie B's chicken. He loves fried foods and especially wings. I do not prefer fried foods, but sometimes you have to take one for the team. Our server, Genie, recommended the chicken tenders as the post popular food item. My hubby ordered the 5 wings and I ordered two chicken tenders with grits (love me some grits). All were deep fried and super crispy. The chicken tasted like it was made at home...well seasoned and crispy as if it was emersed in oil and immediately served. Our order was filled almost before we found a place to sit. The chicken came out super hot. In fact, you could see steam hoovering over the chicken. Our meals were tasty. Hattie B's is a cross between a fast food and sit down restaurant. Their decor is the standout with bold red colors, enlarged writing on the side of the walls and a retractable door that leads to outside seating.

Okay after hearing all about Hattie B's, I had to try it. The food came out fast and parking and the wait on a weekend were not bad at all. We ordered Chicken and Waffles as well as a Fried Chicken Sandwich. The Mac and cheese was yummy (I always love a good Mac and cheese). Overall everything was pretty good.

Fried Southern Salad
Richard N.

My girlfriend and I went here for a Yelp event and were pleasantly surprised by the food. She got the chicken sandwich. It was a little salty, but really good if you put the mac and cheese in it. I loved the mac and cheese. I had the southern chicken salad with ranch and while it was good, it was nothing special. The service was very friendly and welcoming, which we noticed right away and there is plenty of seating inside and a small outdoor area as well. Surprisingly, the drinks were very good. The soda was carbonated and crisp and the powerade tasted fresh, which is a big plus. I would definitely come back again.

5 Jumbo Wings
Ashley M.

Oh shit I forgot to leave a review!! First off; I'd like to apologize for Tumble for cheating but this place here!!!! Top Tier!!! That leg quarter changed my life lol!! The greens taste home made and the potato salad was decent (good for cooling your mouth down if needed. I just ordered the jumbo wings and THAT they indeed are!! JUMBO!! Update on the sides: the greens are starting to be a hit or miss, one day they taste fresh and some days they taste like "yesterday or 2 days ago" The grits!!! Chefs kiss!! I'm a sugar in my grits girl unless it's for shrimp and grits and I could eat these alone! The beans... bruh! TRASH!! Tastes like straight black pepper, as if someone loosened the cap and wayyy too much poured out. The black eyed peas were different...cold; not nasty; but not something I'd get excited for. The Mac and Cheese made me wanna fight!! Disgusting the coleslaw taste like basic coleslaw so no biggie. Now last but not least that banana pudding made me sad I had such high hopes and that shit tastes old as shit!! Like it was in the fridge from last week or maybe thawed from the freezer. Now I usually stick to my leg quarter (HOT) and either greens, potato salad or maybe even grits

Kim D.

Medium spice was pretty good but I could have done mild for a little less spice. Chicken sandwich was delicious! Lt the best one I've ever had but definitely hits the spot. The ranch is not the best. Service was amazing! Really nice people! Also got a watermelon margarita and it was a big size but was a little too sweet.

Ask the Community - Hattie B's Hot Chicken - Austin - South Lamar

Does Haddie B's use pepper-infused oils to achieve different heat levels post frying? I'm pretty sure Tumble 22 does this while Gus's does not. My experience favors Gus's approach purely for the uniformity bite-to-bite, relative to crunch and heat.

Hey Robert, we add our spice blend to our oil base and dip the chicken in it after it comes out hot and fresh from the fryer! Hope you got to come in and experience some authentic Nashville hot chicken with us. Thank you!

Amazing Food, Incredible Drinks & Fantastic Service!…read more What an absolutely fabulous experience at Moonshine Grill in Austin! From the food to the drinks to the service, everything was fantastic! Jessica took great care of us and made our visit even more enjoyable. The ambiance was also really nice, with cute rocking chairs out front and lots of mirrors all over the walls. We had the grilled cheese sandwich with burnt ends, and WOW! The combination of the amazing onions and gooey, delicious cheese was out of this world! We also ordered the sweet potatoes, and I cannot say enough about how good they were! Perfectly sweet and absolutely delicious. Seriously, SO SO good! And the drinks? The lavender lemonade was AMAZING! Refreshing, delicious, and the perfect complement to an already fabulous meal! Between the incredible food, fantastic drinks, and Jessica's wonderful service, this place was a winner all around! If you're in Austin, Moonshine Grill is definitely worth a stop! We loved every bite and sip!

We somehow snagged nearby street parking and a table for two with no wait despite it being a busy Saturday evening after a UT football game. Make a reservation if you have a large party or are on a tighter schedule. It's a bit loud for those seated in the lobby/entrance area, but totes a vibe. For food, we ordered the blackened catfish, brisket burnt ends quesadillas, and harvest bowl to share. Everything was delicious and served quickly, even with the aforementioned dinner rush. 10/10 would order the same items again. I was so appreciative of the server splitting the entree over two plates without us asking. Did I mention the complimentary popcorn and cornbread? Twas a FEAST. I'm already thinking about the next time we're going back! If not for Moonshine, definitely for the speakeasy downstairs.

Every single bite was perfection…read more Let's start with the biscuits--hands down the best I've ever had in Austin (and honestly, anywhere in Texas). Flaky, buttery clouds of joy. The house-made blueberry preserves? Unreal. The local honey and butter? I could have eaten them with a spoon. My mouth is literally watering just thinking about it. Then came the cinnamon roll--crispy, golden edges with that gooey center that makes you involuntarily close your eyes and do a little happy food dance. We also shared The Old Fashioned biscuit sandwich, featuring house-made sausage that was so good it made us question all other sausage. Naturally, we had to "research" the bacon too--perfectly cooked, smoky, and absolutely worth it. We sat out on the porch with my pup, Lily, who was treated like royalty (fresh bowl of water and plenty of adoring attention). She gives the bacon two paws up! The staff? Absolute gems--Mark & Marie were warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to have us there. It felt more like breakfast at your favorite relative's house than a restaurant visit. We can't wait to go back and eat our way through the rest of the menu. Hissy Fit, you've officially ruined us for all other breakfast spots.
