This month's book club was at St Elmo's at Springdale which led me to the onsite food truck SPICY BOYS! I ordered the Tingly Gai which was not very spicy for me actually, probably a spice level one but, nonetheless I enjoyed the chicken sandwich. The pickles were more zesty than spicy. I also liked the Sichuan seasoning and the lemon chili oil. I ordered a side of spicy pickles and tater tots too, everything tasted fresh. They had an interesting papaya salad on the menu I wanted to try but the worker did not recommend it so I skipped it this time. Parking is plentiful onsite but it was filled today. read more

I stumbled across Spicy Boys when looking for a fast delivery dinner option. It seemed to have a good reviews and fried chicken sounded good. I was quite excited that the food was still quite warm, including the single wrapped side roti when it arrived. The chicken nuggets in addition to being a sizable portion are also large themselves. Their texture is crunchy on the outside and yet juicy on the inside and their regular seasoning has good flavor with just a hint of sweet. I tried some bites with both the spicy sauce and the basil ranch But ended up eating most of them without any dipping sauce because they were just that delicious. The tater tots are a tingly Sichuan. I admit that I have about a medium tolerance for spicy. The tater tots on their own and even with the spicy sauce aren't too spicy, but Sichuan seasoning does increase as you eat it so not sure that I could eat a whole serving of the tater tots due to the heat level. But I really enjoyed alternating between the flavorful hint of sweet chicken and the spicy tots. I got the side of roti because I had been very tempted to get the curry and roti dish, but wanted something with a little bit more protein today. I am so glad that I tried the roti because it was delicious. It really was flaky with a bit of chewing us and a bit of a buttery hint. It pulled apart so nicely and was so enjoyable to eat as much as I loved the chicken . I'm definitely gonna have to try the Curry and roti option next time. If you're finding yourself craving fried chicken or something spicy, I highly suggest you check out spicy boys whether it's in person or via delivery. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

Spicy Boys Fried Chicken - Classic nugs with basil Thai ranch sauce, spicy tater tots with spicy ranch sauce, and a side roti (in the pink wrapper). - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

I just moved to Round Rock with my boyfriend and brother. We drove here to try this food because it looked good online. Came here and my boyfriend was immediately shooed away and told "ooh you have to order online and the guy closed the window" . So him being him he was like no I still want to try it. Okay so he gets his food and then goes back for some ranch and comes back and says once again they the guy at the window was rude. Well myself and my brother are waiting on our food, because customer service is everything to me, I used to be a server so I know. And while we're waiting, 2 guys go up to the window to order and the guy takes their order with NO ISSUE ! Great customer service and even a smile on his face ! I try not to play the race card but this was unacceptable. read more

Spicy Boys Fried Chicken - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

Spicy boys!!!! This food truck really knows how to make chicken! Spicy boys menu is fried chicken with an Asian twist. Their OG fried chicken sandwich is a well bread/ seasoned piece of chicken with honey, basil and papaya slaw. The meat is juicy and the chicken is fried well. The honey, basil and papaya balance the bold flavors of chicken. The toasted bun is soft and flavorful. My mouth is watering just thinking about this sandwich. Actually I might go pick up another one right now. If you prefer spicier versions, they them on the menu but I personally would recommend the OG. At higher spicy levels, the flavors get drown out by the chili oil and peppercorn. I look that the OG has some sweetness to it and you can taste the basil and papaya. location is at st. elmo's brewery. Plenty of seating and sometimes an event will be happening. Monday nights have $10 sandwich + pint. Service is quick and efficient through an online menu and they tell you your order is ready via text. read more

Spicy Boys Fried Chicken - OG - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

Came to this food truck on a hot ass 90 degree afternoon and I nearly died, but thankfully this location is situated by a brewery that has plenty of indoor seating and, more importantly, AC. Anyways, the food was fantastic. I got the OG sandwich with the fried tempeh and the tempeh was delicious with a slight meaty texture; I also loved how the papaya salad gave the sandwich a nice crunch. The classic tots were some of the best tator tots I've ever had--it was beautifully crisp outside while still maintaining a nice soft interior. The best part though was probably how much my boyfriend enjoyed the 5 piece bone-in chicken. He was basically suckin and fuckin that thing, and I felt satisfied just watching how much he enjoyed his meal. I think this deserves 5 stars just from that alone. read more

Spicy Boys Fried Chicken - og sandwich (fried tempeh), 5 piece bone in, classic tots - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

Swung by Spicy Boys last week to satisfy a serious hot chicken craving -- and they did not disappoint. We ordered our usual: the famous hot wings, and as always, they were perfectly crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. That signature crunch? Chef's kiss. The location is a bit off the beaten path -- tucked next to a taco truck and a coffee spot in a somewhat quirky little corner. It might feel random, but it kind of adds to the charm. Pro tip: Go in the evening. The outdoor seating is cute and chill once the sun sets, but earlier in the day it's a little too hot to really enjoy it. String lights and the casual setup make it a relaxed, no-frills hangout vibe. Parking was super easy, and service was friendly and efficient -- no complaints there. read more

F**ing WOW 5 star !!!!! The GOAT.. I tried them ALL, and I mean all. I saved spicy boys for last because everyone kept saying it was the best and original. I didn't want to love them more than all the rest, but now we too understand. LOL I may well be a zombie for this place. We ordered the FRIED CHICKEN (5PC),FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH HOT GAI and the tingly gal , CURRY & 2 ROTI, and SPICY PICKLES. Where do we even start. everything was amazing. My wife was literally drinking the sauce that came with the ROTI. If there was a 55gallon drum of it she would not be able to stop. The Hot Gai was perfect amount of spicy, not so much it kills you, but enough to remind you you are still alive!!! The 5 piece of perfection pushed me into a small coma and after a few hours of heavenly napping, we split the tingly Gal and a movie. The funny part was how we missed the movie because we were so happy just talking about the food. She kept saying the spicy pickles would be a mainstay in the house if they would sell it by the gallon. Look I tried the ALL and now we know why Spicy Boys Chicken is the GOAT and OG. When I was there the pick ups were steady, I see why this little secret is expanding! people love it, and now I know why. The twisted bastard that perfected the recipes has captured our hearts and loyalty. F**ing perfection!!! It is all over for the competitors after 3 years of trying everyone else in the city, we must have Spicy Boys!! Now it is a regular affair to get an order and settle in for a movie and long nap. Start here, do not save it for last! read more

Spicy Boys has been on the list for a minute, only to find out recently how close they are to the house at St. Elmo Brewing...Super friendly and fast service....Great set up with the food truck, along with outdoor seating as well an spot inside to stay cool. Wife went with the Classic Nugs...great crunch, tasty chicken and plenty to be had...We both shared a Tingly Tots...spicy yes but we have a pretty high tolerance so it was just right for us...Superiorly crunch and there were 2 sauces....red and green..to be honest not sure what went with what...but both were delicious. Also shared a double order of Roti with both sauces...Roti was ridiculously good and both curries were great...First for both of us trying curry....My Sandwich was the Tingly Gai...Messy, Spicy and down right Amazing...I savored every bite...The Green Papaya Salad was refreshing and can tame the heat a bit...super fresh and crunchy....Definitely on the list to return....You nailed Spicy Boys. read more

I have brought so many friends visiting internationally to spicy boys because it is always consistently delicious. At the end of their trips they almost always say it was the best meal they had in Austin. I love how this location always has plenty of parking and can use the nice St. Elmo's beer garden. There are large tables that are pretty spaced out so I never have to worry about getting in anyone's space read more

Best fried chicken in town! Can't get enough! The flavor is always so great and food is always fresh!

If you find yourself at the St. Elmo brewery, I would recommend this food truck on site. It is their fourth location in Austin. They have an Asian take on chicken and their spicy tots are addictive. You can get your chicken at different heat levels. Keep in mind, this is a cashless venue so you'll need a credit/debit card. I noticed their tip screen changes depending on how much you're spending. They'll ask for your phone number so they can text you when it's ready. Everything is loaded into a big pink bag complete with napkins, ketchup, and towelettes. Great spicy chicken that goes very well with cold beer. read more

Love this place. The curry and naan are a must! Never had fried chicken like I get here!

Amazing chicken! I got the nuggets and tots both "tingly" and I loved every bite. Super crunchy and juicy chicken. The heat was perfect! I found this place because I was running DoorDash and they are hands down in my top 2 chicken joints tied with Donkey Mo's. read more

finally tried spicy boys chicken at elmo's and yeah... it's legit. super fresh, perfectly crispy, and you can actually taste the quality. nothing greasy or heavy, just really good food. plus the spot itself is such a chill place to hang out and eat, definitely worth it. read more

Simple meal with extraordinary flavors. Both the chicken and the tater tots have a mild spice with sweet asian flavors. Super unique! You can order the chicken with extra spice or plain no seasoning too if you have kids with you. read more

Always love their spicy nugs to go with some St Elmo beer, but I wish they'd double up on sauces. I had to ask twice for the correct sauce and it lasted maybe two or three pieces of their nugs. However, the nugs are great and I'd recommend to anyone going to sit and have some beer to enjoy some spicy boys chicken. read more
