We ordered the Peach Habanero and Lemon Pepper wings, and both were excellent. The batter was crispy without being too heavy, which made the wings really enjoyable. I also liked the ordering system. You order and pay from your phone, then ring the bell if you need service. It was simple, efficient, and made the whole experience smooth. We had a group of six, and there was plenty of seating for everyone. Good thing I live in Dallas, or this place would be taking my money all the time. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and looking for great food.

I do wish the fries came out after the chicken instead of before so we could eat it at the same time! We finished the fries and the wait felt long for the chicken.

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!

I was disappointed with my recent visit to Rolling Rooster. When we arrived, there was an employee…read morestanding behind the register with a mop and bucket, and I noticed that no one handling food was wearing gloves. The young lady at the register left quickly when we approached, and when I asked if we could dine in, she told us there was no room. That felt unusual, but we decided to order takeout. While placing the order, she mentioned there were plumbing issues and something was overflowing, which raised another concern about the cleanliness of the environment. She also seemed anxious and unprofessional during the interaction. We were told the food would take about 15 minutes, but it ended up being closer to 30-45 minutes. Unfortunately, the food did not meet our expectations, especially for the price. The oxtails, rice, greens, and macaroni and cheese were around $36. The okra looked like it had been refried, and the chicken wings tasted as though they were cooked in old grease. The greens had an unusual flavor, and the macaroni and cheese did not taste like traditional mac and cheese. The oxtails were messy but not tender. Based on the lack of professionalism, the long wait, and the overall quality of the food, I do not plan to return.

I was on the hunt for good soul food in Austin, and The Rolling Rooster absolutely delivered…read more The collard greens were some of the best I've had in a while. They were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of vinegar and cooked to that ideal tender texture without being mushy. The fried chicken and catfish were outstanding. Both were well seasoned, incredibly crispy, and tasted like they were fried in fresh grease. Every bite was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The baked macaroni and cheese was good, but it leaned a little more toward a Velveeta-style cheese sauce than my personal preference. Still a solid 9/10. I also ordered the Peach Passion Fruit Hennessy margarita, and it was superb. Smooth, flavorful, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the prices were very reasonable, and the portions were generous. If you're looking for authentic soul food in Austin, The Rolling Rooster is absolutely worth the stop. I'll definitely be back.

Most of the flavor is on the outside though and because the chicken is so juicy and big the crust falls off. The chicken sand which is HUGE. There is so much meat and the ratio seems really off.

Their pickles are sweet which is ideal with that level of heat. I got the hot which was perfect for me. The fries are amazing tbh, even after sitting in the fridge, they had a great flavor and texture somehow. I wish they put more sauce which is probably my personal preference haha It was a good meal overall, but not my favorite fried chicken spot. The burger with curry sauce WAS SO GOOOOD!!

Love this location of MOD Pizza in North Austin! Very accommodating of dietary restrictions. My…read morefriend's daughter is gluten free and can enjoy eating here worry free. Pizza is made to order - a standard size is enough for my two kiddos to share. They love a classic cheese or pepperoni. I always customize my mini pizza with my favorite toppings (pineapple, jalapeño, and pepperoni). Add in a pesto drizzle and it hits! They also have house made lemonades which are delicious. This location offers ample indoor and courtyard seating. Space is clean, comfortable and inviting.

I am so tired of paying actual money for food that shows up like it lost the will to live somewhere…read morebetween the prep line and the oven. Decided to give MOD Pizza a fair shot in person (because surely that's better than delivery, right?). Wrong. So very, very wrong. Let's set the scene: The staff? Hustling. Truly. Doing their best and keeping the line moving and the restaurant tidy. The manager? Perched on the counter like it's a front-row seat at a middle school talent show, sipping a soda and vibing. No direction. No urgency. Just... there. Now the pizza. If you've ever wondered what "emotionally unavailable" looks like in food form--this was it. Toppings? Sparse. Like they were being rationed during wartime. Onions & mushrooms? Practically still in their natural habitat. Crisp. Crunchy. Alive. Asked if they could cook it a bit longer... nope. Already cut. Apparently that's where the line is drawn. I had asked for spring mix on top after baking, but noticed it was wilted like it had been through a stressful week and a bad breakup, so it was a hard pass. Got home, opened the box, and just stared at it like... this is what we're doing now? Tried to salvage it in my own oven, because I'm an optimist with a baking tray, but no amount of heat was fixing the sadness baked into that crust. The real kicker? I could've driven a few minutes down the road, spent maybe a couple dollars more, and had a genuinely good pizza from Bellissima. Lesson learned. MOD Pizza, I wanted to root for you. I really did. But this visit felt less like dinner and more like a cautionary tale.

This location has a small play area for kids and we have seen young children enjoy their time in there in the last. Overall, a great experience and just what we expected from Chick-fill-A.
