We were delighted to see there was a Smoothie King near our hotel. Stopped in after my husbands procedure, we were promptly greeted in a barely audible voice. Everyone was busy, one customer ahead of us and two after us. The floors were a bit dirty, pieces of trash and paper. Like someone tried to clean but was in a hurry. We ordered, the young man was polite but very reserved. In my opinion, it's hard teaching our youth the value of a smile. I had the Immunity Berry, very delicious. My husband had the Island Impact without the protein (I don't know why?!??) I will return but maybe just use the drive thru. read more

Service has improved and im very much happy about it this location is so accessible to everyone Including helpful staff read more

First time trying this place and it was DELICIOUS!! Like amazing, everything tasted super fresh and they didn't skimp with filling out the bowl. I can't wait to be back and try the other flavors. We did drive through but they have plenty of parking as well. Those little cacao pieces were SO good. read more

Smoothie King - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

When you leave teenagers to run a store the level of professionalism typically declines. I pulled up to the store around 7:45 and as I was about to walk in the store employee locks the door and put a sign up stating the lobby is close due to short staff. Mind you the lobby still had a few customers inside. I went to the drive thru and waited for about 10 min behind other cars. While I was waiting a bunch of kids walked up to the back door and a few others came out to the store to hang out in their car. The line was getting longer and we were still waiting. Then they turned on a recording that they were closed. Very disappointed in this location. read more

The team here is so friendly. They walked me through how to get a 32oz for the price of a 20oz in their app! read more

Smoothie bowl would have been more enjoyable if the inside of the store didn't smell rotten wafting out of the to go window. Something is very unclean. read more

Very fast and friendly service. The chocolate hulks were very good flavor and consistency. They also gave our dogs massive pup cups which was very kind as well. We will be here again on our way to the dog park! read more

I was in the drive-thru from 6am to 6:07am waiting for someone to take my order. I pull around and the place is closed. I'm sure their morning flunkies overslept and had me sitting there. read more

After reading these reviews, I wish I'd checked them before going. The service at 3 PM was disappointing; only one other customer was there, with three staff members behind the counter all on their phones. One staff member, wearing a hoodie and headphones, seemed annoyed when I asked for a high-protein option from the limited menu. I took control and specified my order, which turned out to be good and served quickly. However, the lack of attentive staff reflects poor management, evident in previous reviews where management's response seemed to pacify complaints rather than address them. read more

I have come here every Friday at around 8:45 pm when j get off practice for the past 4 weeks and every single Time you guys are closed, today there was 3 people I'm line at 8:47 and I got to the speaker and was told they were closed. If you guys are going to close at 8:45 list it on your website because that is false advertisement and a waste of my time. Will not be returning. read more

This location has the best bowls. Full to the brim - they don't skimp like many of the other locations around here. Worth the price here. read more

Smoothie King - Goji Berry Bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Austin, Texas

Horrible service at this location. The staff are young and have zero sense of what good customer service looks nor sounds like. I can be sitting in the drive thru line for 25+ minutes bc the staff are too busy talking or haven't realized the customers order has already been made. This location is trash because of the service here. read more

I drove 15 minutes to this location and they closed the store 10 minutes before it was supposed to. VERY BAD BUSINESS read more

Smoothie King - Drove 15 minutes here and Store is closed at 9:50 pm when it it supposed to be open until 10. Wow - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Austin, Texas

Although, as I am writing this, this place has a 3 star rating, this Smoothie King is pretty great. Its very consistent and fast and its great. But after coming so many times through the drive thru, for the first time I was asked, would you like to leave a tip? These past months a lot of drive thru coffee/smoothie places have added that "forced" $1/nothing tip in drive thrus. I am so tired of seeing this forced around and it being more and more common to put the "pay increase" for employees put on the back of the consumers. Its not right. Its a subject where yes "you can opt out" but who wants to feel like an asshole. How dare you not leave just a little tip. Its like something that was played around a bit in drive thrus and now its a full on tactic being used. Its just not right. Pay your employees more. read more

I usually stay at one of the hotels close to this location when I come into town so out of convenience, I have chosen to come here several times over the past 6 months. At first I was having a great experience but over the past 2 months, I have had several issues. Today, I had a dry spot in my throat that caused me to cough just at the wrong moment when they were trying to hand me the smoothie I just paid for. The person at the window was extremely rude by shoving my smoothie into my hand (almost breaking the cup) and when I addressed it, said "that's not my problem". How is it not YOUR problem that you just so rudely shoved my smoothie into my hands???? Tried calling the store but the manager was no help and didn't even apologize. I shouldn't have went back at all because last time I was in town, I also had a bad experience. My smoothie was so watered down that it was like drinking an actual drink... and if you drink smoothies, you know that's not how it's supposed to be blended. I went inside to speak to the manager that day but all she offered was a complete refund instead of making a new smoothie that was of the right consistency... so I went to a completely different smoothie place to spend my money. They have been consistently rude over the past 2 months and more often than not, my smoothie isn't right at all (because yes they've also given me the wrong order and didn't care then either) or it isn't the right consistency. I travel ALL over and don't have this many issues with ANY other Smoothie King. I would avoid this location at all costs. I will be taking my business elsewhere in Austin. read more

Terrible! Immediately got sick after getting a smoothie there. Wish I could do 0 stars

I come to this location at least once a week for the past 6 months, as it's right next to my gym. The only positive thing I've found about this location is the drinks taste good and my order is usually correct. The cons are that the service is worse than any location of any chain I've ever seen. I usually am there around 6:30-7 pm. They close at 10pm. They will straight up stop serving the drive thru line at 7 saying "we aren't taking any more orders", or you just get the prerecorded woman telling you they're closed. If you somehow get them to take the order, enjoy your 20 minute wait, as they produce about 1 smoothie every 10 minutes. Many times I have seen people angrily drive straight out of line after waiting for 15-20 minutes, as a 6 dollar smoothie isn't worth wasting 20 minutes of your weeknight over. Some may ask: is drive thru the problem? If you manage to make it inside the building (they will lock the door hours before close), you'll notice every single employee is on their phone, drinking their own smoothies. Maybe it's poor management, uncompetitive pay, I'm not sure. read more

Normally I avoid this location because my drink is always watered down and full of unblended ice cubes, but it's open later than the Research Blvd store and was on my way home this week, so I ordered at the drive-thru. My smoothie probably jammed while blending, and the typical solution is to add a little bit of water. When I entered the store to let the staff know, there was a girl who seemed to be the manager who was full on yelling at the employees around her - all of whom looked very uncomfortable. I felt terrible. This girl (dark hair, pulled back in a ponytail, nose stud on right side) proceeded to berate everyone behind the bar, tossing blenders, lids, and ingredients at them. I have never seen this kind of outright abusive behavior in a customer service setting. Never mind me - I was feeling horrible for these employees who were being humiliated in front of other very uncomfortable customers, who shot me looks of "can you believe this?" I'll stick to the other locations, where the kids behind the bar aren't treated this way. read more

Great location with a drive thru! The drive thru takes a while at times though but it's nice to not have to get out in the Texas heat. The variety of items is great. There is something for everyone! read more

Smoothie King - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Austin, Texas

If I could give 0 stars... I would. I waited almost 20 minutes for a smoothie. Absolutely ridiculous. Don't come here. Not worth it. It's a damn smoothie bar, not a restaurant. It shouldn't take but 5 minutes MAX to make a smoothie. read more

This is my normal location, and I take full advantage of the mobile app. I order at LEAST 3 times a week. Being understaffed is NOT a customers issue. Since they are understaffed, they love to lock the lobby and only allow drive thru. The problem with this is that the people who use the mobile app to AVOID the long drive thru lines and save on time, now waste more time waiting in the line. This has happens to me many times, including this morning. I normally just wasn't but I had to leave the line and get to my client appointment after waiting 15 mins in the drive thru JUST to grab my already paid for smoothie. I called to get a refund or to come back and get what I paid for. I ended up coming to get my smoothie, but not with out the very young employee, with sticker stars on her face, to say "next time just come to the door because we can't give free smoothies for a long line," WHAT FREE SMOOTHIE!! I paid for this this morning, and iv knocked before and was denied entrance for short staff, she obviously has no idea what she's talking about. The lack of customer service shows, and this location needs to be avoided. I wouldn't have left a review if that girl hadn't said anything but and apology for this morning. SMH. read more

This location has horrible service, very rude disrespectful kids that provide HORRENDOUS customer service. These are the kind of employees that drive a location to the ground. The little girl that is working the window this morning is probably new as I go there about every morning well she is a prime example of that. read more

The slowest and more care free service I've ever witnessed. Imagine waiting 20 minutes in line with one car in front of you. They had staff too, was just chilling inside. Actually laughable. Do not waste your time here read more

I was super happy and surprised they were open at 7am! Professional courteous staff quick in and out.

Please fire your weekday staff! The kids that work there are extremely immature. I ordered from the drive thru and it took them several minutes to answer. And, when they did answer they told me "no one could hear you pull up because we were all in the back." Then she began to laugh after that. it is always the same 3 females that are unprofessional. I will get the names and make a formal complaint. it wouldn't be an issue if I only had a problem with them once. read more

First time coming here.. did you know they offer $5 32oz for any smoothie every Friday? I didn't. (& TODAY'S FRIDAY!) Well, that didn't stop the employees from hanging out in the back for a good minute before coming out to service me and then ringing me up for my 32oz smoothie as normal without mentioning the deal. I didn't even see the advertisement for the deal until after the fact of already being charged by Saray (according to my receipt) and waiting for my smoothie to be made, lol. Nice customer service. Just do what you gotta do to get paid. Nothing beyond. Nothing more. Customer service can benefit from some improvement. Smoothie was refreshing. read more

I ordered a couple of smoothies here for the first time, via the drive-thru, and they were delicious and on-point. The order-taker was extremely helpful even though it was through the drive-thru speaker box, and I used the Yelp $2-Off offer with no problem from the manager. I appreciated their service and product and, though a bit pricey, my smoothie served as a welcome meal replacement. My only request is that they add guava to the menu, please. You guys have definitely earned a repeat customer! read more

They made me the wrong drink but only were concerned that they didn't charge me the right amount. So my drink was wrong, price was wrong, had to wait again for my drink and then she charged me more. Something is wrong with the lady that works there. read more

I was pleasantly surprised on how close this place was to my home. I was craving a smoothie that wasn't going to be full of sugar but would be somewhat healthy. Came to the drive thru around 4:30 pm on Saturday. No one was in line, which is always a plus. They were really nice and they did have mask on. I ordered the Island Impact in 20 oz. it was very good and they made my order really fast. I will be returning back to this location soon! Also, if you check in you get $2 off of your order! read more

I love the variety of smoothies there very much recommend anddd for any people that have never tried smoothie king I suggest the hulk smoothie for a meal replacement and the angle food for a normal but still great tasting smoothie read more

order was late, wrong, and staff was rude. save yourself the money and hassle, go somewhere else.

Poor service, stood at the counter, 3 employees, no other customers yet no one greeted me nor bothered asking or took my order. Stood there for about 5 minutes. Just walked out! read more

I ordered the largest size with Kyle and mango smoothies and I did not feel very well after that (toilet!!! ) I don't recommend you.

Have a great experience every time I'm there. All the employees are welcoming and very friendly. My favorite location by far! Can't go wrong with a mango kale! read more

Love this location, AJ A. is really nice and makes a simple smoothie transaction a memorable experience.

The most welcoming smoothie place ever prices are great not too expensive ro me For having protein and they're very quick and love their app for rewards! read more

It's 8am. I'm at the drive through, hoping to get order taken. I wait for 5 minutes, say then say "hello" to alert clerk a customer is at drive through and not a word back*crickets*. I pull around to walk in. It appears as if one customer is waiting for her order and I notice the car that was behind me in the drive through is at the window. One team member inside the store says "we'll be right with you..." Then the drive through clerk begins to take a second order. It's 8:08. A young man emerges with a cash register til complains about something and goes back into the kitchen area. Still waiting. Finally my order is taken at 8:10 without apology for delay. I'm a very patient person, but this was poor performance by a team of 3 people. 2 stars reflects that the young lady inside the store alerted me, "I'll be right with you". One deduction for the drive through having me wait for 5 minutes and serve 3 customers who came after me. Another deduction for the guy that didn't even help the other two unbotheres employees. And the third is for taking nearly 15 minutes to get a smoothie! If I wanted to wait that long I would have went to a restaurant to order a hot meal to go! My son loves smoothie king. But this is exactly why I prefer Jamba Juice. Fresher ingredients and better customer service. Thanks for getting me off to a rough start and so I solidifying my reasoning to forgo this establishment. read more

Had a coupon for BOGO smoothies. The coupon only said couldn't use for those $5 medium smoothies on Friday and no other exceptions. I ordered the two smoothies and told the cashier about the coupon and showed it to her. She proceeded to tell me the total, which was the full price. When I asked about the coupon the girl just shrugged her shoulders instead of maybe asking someone or finding out more info or if my coupon wasn't valid she could have told me. Other employees just standing around, so they weren't too busy for her to ask. Didn't even get to try a smoothie from here. Very poor customer service. read more
