    The monstrous Cali salad before I dove in
    Shyla B.

    Found this place on Yelp when searching for a place with salad. Anytime I have a craving for something specific, I peruse the pictures other people have posted. lol This method has worked wonders for me. This little place is located inside a gas station FYI. When I walked up to the counter, the gentleman working was a bit distracted by his phone but once he acknowledged me, he was awesome! He told me all about their loyalty program, discounts if you do a Yelp review, and answered my questions about the food. I chose the Cali salad and decided to go ahead and try the broccoli pasta as well because someone's picture online looked yummy! The salad is huge! Soooo much stuff in there! I didn't have enough room to mix in the ranch but that's ok.... Just means the remaining salad won't get soggy since I couldn't even eat half lol! The broccoli pasta was a tad salty, but overall delicious!! I will definitely get this any time I go there now lol.

    Cesar wrap (well what's left of it!)

    I've only had the cesar wrap, but it was AMAZING! So much food, and one wrap can easily feed two people, maybe more! My teenager's wrap didn't survive the trip home! A MUST TRY!!!! The service was excellent and friendly, great voice by the way! He sounds like a Hollywood star. The first time I tasted this wrap, a friend shared a bit of hers with me and I had to know where it had come from. My friend's husband had picked it up "somewhere off Brodie at a gas station" and I thought he was kidding. I finally made it out there today and bought the whole family dinner. It is in a gas station, but don't let that sway you, it's quality food and lots of it for the price!!

    Half bird

    YUM! I visited Ollie Birds for the first time today and it is delicious! We got the half bird (all white meat) and will definitely be back to try the sides, wraps, and salads. The all white half bird is very generous. The breasts were huge, and one of them was plenty for me and my toddler and 1 year old. The service is excellent and super friendly. Don't miss out on this place!!

    Love this place! Just what we needed in the neighborhood, good fresh food that's a great price and super delicious ! The chicken is very moist, properly seasoned and the salad portions are large! If you've had California Chicken Cafe from Cali, you will love this place! Go support the business! Top it off, the owner operators provide great service!

    It was so good! Was trying to find a new salad/bowl place and saw this on my google search so decided to give it a try! Def worth it, the portion is huge and chicken is so fresh

    A small "pop up" inside the Valero gas station, unassuming but everything I saw behind the counter was fresh and looked delicious!

    Quick lunch stop with coworkers before a flight, and Hattie B's Austin came through…read more 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.

    I have to say I've become a Hattie B's fan. They do chicken very well!…read more The flavor and quality of meat are both quite good. The team is nice and efficient. The cost is reasonable compared to other places nearby. If you're on the lookout for a tasty takeout option with prices that are tough to beat, give them a try!

    Gus's was fantastic. We came on a Saturday at 6pm and had no issues with seating. We ordered the…read moretwo piece dark chicken and the special that comes with four pieces. We both subbed beans for mac and cheese. My friend appeared the most jolly I'd ever seen him and thoroughly enjoyed the chicken. I really liked the mac and cheese, and I liked the chicken as well. The coleslaw was decent, and I often don't like coleslaw. The skin was tough and too much for me, but the food itself was great. The two piece was substantial for me, and the four piece seemed to be a little too much even for a big boy. The restroom floors were suspiciously very wet. I feel like they could provide some moist towelettes because the chicken was very greasy, and we had to just pour water on the napkins. Downtown street parking was a struggle, but I found 2/3 of a spot close by that I decided could count as a spot.

    I heard a lot about Gus's and finally got to try it this weekend…read more I ordered the 2 Piece Dark Plate and substituted the beans and coleslaw for seasoned fries and mac & cheese. There was a small hiccup with the sides, but the staff was quick to fix it. The sides were good, and the chicken was juicy, flavorful, and didn't need any extra seasoning at all. I just wish the chicken pieces had been a little bigger! Overall, I had a good dining experience. The restaurant was clean and cozy, the service was great, and the chicken was delicious!
