Cajun Fries. Spicy garlic Parm. Asian heat. Cajun dry rub. Fried pickle. So so good.

Jacey L.

The Thirsty Chicken absolutely snapped The green apple slushie was insanely good, and the 10 piece wings with spicy lemon pepper + Asian heat were NEXT LEVEL. Crispy, saucy, packed with flavor, and honestly some of the best wings I've had in a while. I'm already planning my next order

Austin-Right off the bat...VERY friendly, informative young man at the front. The gal working with him was not happy to be working today. We loved the divey vibe of this place. No indoor seating, so take note. We had 3 types of bone-in wings, deep fried cauliflower bites, and some chicken tendies. The garlic parm flavor was great but was WAY over-sauced. So incredibly messy, they were not enjoyable. Lemon pepper would have been great, but was so salty they were inedible. Bbq ones were ok. All the wings were super meaty which is a huge plus. The deep-fried cauliflower was a huge no for us. Way too much breading and way too much black pepper in the batter. The chicken tendies were ok. They were huge too. Fries were a hit. Crunchy on the outside, soft and yummy on the inside. The frozen daiquiris were delicious!! We did not get a chance to try the fried pickle. We brought some things home because we were tired of fighting the "million flies army" that descended upon us when we sat down. This is probably a one and done for our group, but it was a fun idea!

Found this place online and had to stop by while in town, it was pretty good. I like the vibe of this place a lot, they have open outdoor seating and a family friendly vibe. The cashier was nice and she answered any questions we had. I got a creamsicle daiquiri and it was pretty good, I wish I tried a different flavor though it was a bit too sweet. My mom and sister enjoyed their drinks: michelada and margarita. The food was good, I personally liked their different fries but my family not so much. The wings were good but almost too saucy for me.. I would definitely like to go back and try everything differently!

You haven't been to The Thirsty Chicken in Leander yet--what are you waiting for?! This place is a hidden gem. The wings are absolutely fire--crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. I tried the Garlic Parmesan and the Hot Cheeto Chick (yes, Hot Cheeto!), and both were insanely good. The fries were perfectly seasoned, and the fried pickles? Chef's kiss. But the real star of the show? The daiquiris. They have SO many flavors, it's almost impossible to pick just one. I went with the strawberry mango and it was the perfect mix of sweet and refreshing. Also loved the chill, laid-back vibe--GREAT music, fun crowd, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Shout out to lady boss! Hit me up! Whether you're coming for the wings, the drinks, or the good vibes, this spot delivers. Definitely coming back! Highly recommend!!

Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 8/10 Food: 10/10 I was really impressed with how clean the bathrooms were and the restaurant as a whole. The customer service was great!!! Each employee was very friendly and welcoming. We made it an hour before closing and our food was made fresh and was very delicious. I like my wings fried hard and these were perfect. I only wish there were some inside seating due to it being particularly cold this evening. The space heater outside did help some with the chill. We also appreciate the employee coming to change the channel to the football game. I'd def come back here more so during the warmer temperatures or order to go. This is prob some of the best chicken I've had in the ATX area.

Munsa M.

Came here to pick up some wings and I thought they were pretty good!! I got the spicy garlic parm, the Asian one, and the hot Cheeto one. I liked all the flavors a lot they were all seasoned really well and so flavorful!! The only thing was I wish there was more sauce on the first two flavors. Also I'm not sure if this was just bc I did takeout but the chicken was a little dry, I would've liked them to be juicier. The fries and fried pickle were so yummy too!! The wings came out pretty quickly too esp considering they are made to order!!

New local spot in Old Town Leander. Limited menu is based around chicken, but they do it right. Recommend the juicy flavorful wings. The daiquiris are surprisingly strong for being wine-based. They are a little sweet, but they also have beer if the frozen daq's aren't your thing. The best part is the ambiance in the outdoor patio. Fun spot to chill with the whole family. read more

I've no idea how this place has 4.5 stars. The owners must have a lot of friends. Anyhow, here is my review, I'll start with the niggles. 1. It takes way too long to make a simple order. You'll be waiting a good while just to get a simple order of wings. Expect to wait at least 30 minutes if not up to an hour. I have no idea what's so involved about cooking some wings. 2. Unlike the Thirsty Penguin, they don't put their daiquiris in sealed plastic bags. I've had the drink start spilling out midway back home. That's not what I need in the BMW. 3. The drinks seem to melt fast, they aren't very cold, so better drive home fast if you've got it to go! 4. Seems like no one answers the phone. 5. Everything is ridiculously expensive, but perhaps this is just how it is in Biden's economy. Thirsty Penguin is far more reasonably priced. Pros 1. For what it's worth the chicken does taste damn good, it's just not worth waiting so long. read more

Went here yesterday placed my order online due to all the reviews saying it's a long wait. Came inside I was greeted by everyone. So that's a plus I made sure they knew It was my first time they made sure to tell me to do a review. So for one I live 10 minutes away. Made it home food was still hot . The fried pickle was amazing. Fries were good . Tried the lemon pepper and the rooster which was hot . I'm very impressed chicken was very crispy. The sauces were good. I will definitely recommend. I wanted a daiquiri so bad but I'm pregnant so once I drop I will be back with a review for the daiquiri that's my kind of thing. I highly recommend this place. read more

A friendly gentleman, who I presume was the owner, greeted us at the front counter. He mentioned a couple of things they were testing at the moment and while we studied the menu, he brought out some samples. We ended up loving the cherry bbq sauce and my boys both selected that for their chicken. I chose to try their maple gochujang. Caspers has a few two top tables where the boys played a game of connect 4 while we waited. About 15 minutes later our food came out, including some house made cherry limeade and peach lemonade. We took it to some nearby picnic tables and dug in. I'm happy to say, the chicken was outstanding! All three of us were very impressed. I'd like to get my hands on a bottle of the sauce!

We took a chance to start a new tradition. Normally on the…read moreFriday before Spring Break we go as a family and enjoy the good talks and wings are good. Now the flavors have changed but not Barman drinks and pickles. Our server was great and she was on top with what we needed to make our visit a good one.

I went here last night and grabbed dinner at the bar. Maybe I caught the server at the bad time but…read morethe vibe I got was that I was bothering them. The food here I got was the Larry bird sandwich which used to be delicious but the chicken had the texture of rubber, and the fries were cold. Dr Pepper sauce tasted different too. Used to love coming here but not after last night. I wish I could have given feedback about the dinner but I was not even asked how it was except for before I started eating it. Honestly I could have microwaved a hot pocket at the hotel I was staying at and it would have been a better dinner than what I got here.

Whether I'm dropping in to get some deep work done or just meeting up with a friend, the atmosphere is always spot on. Why I Keep Coming Back: * The Vibe: It's curated without being pretentious.

Everything is top-tier. * The People: The staff is consistently friendly and genuinely seems happy to be there, which makes a huge difference.

It took a FULL HOUR for the final entree to reach the table. $35 seafood hotpot that contained 3 shrimp, a partial piece of crab that was almost entirely shell, the toughest squid you've ever eaten, and some muscles. For $35 and an hour wait. I said something about the wait and the one person manning the dining area said that's the wait for quality food. BS. Go to Korea House or head to H Mart and their quality blows this quality away. the guy said I have other customers than you. three other tables came in while we were waiting making 5 tables in total. No offers of drink refills. It was a waste of time never again.

I recently visited a place that used to be one of my favorites, but unfortunately, my experience left a lot to be desired. The wait time was incredibly frustrating; we were told our food would take 20-25 minutes, but it ended up taking a full hour. Had they been more transparent about the delay, it would have helped manage expectations. When the food finally arrived, it was a huge disappointment. The chicken was burnt, and the green sauce on mine had a strange, off-putting color, almost black. Needless to say, it was unappetizing. We spent $60 for food we couldn't even eat, and unfortunately, it wasn't just the meal that let us down. It seems the quality of both the food and experience has declined significantly. It's almost as if the excessive drinks are intended to mask how bad the food really is. In some ways, the long wait time worked out, as I sobered up and could actually taste how poor the meal was. While the service was fantastic, the overall quality of the food and experience has diminished so much that we won't be returning. Sadly, we've lost our trust in this place, and I won't be recommending it anytime soon. -Beto G read more

Everytime I come to Leander Texas I always make sure that i stop by The Thirsty Chicken. We had a big ordered and they got everything right which I really appreciate. The garlic parmesan wings were rich, buttery, and packed with flavor. Each bite had that perfect balance of savory garlic and salty parmesan, with a crispy outside that held the sauce just right. The lemon pepper wings were the real standout--zesty, bold, and full of that tangy kick. The seasoning was on point, giving that perfect mix of citrus and peppery heat. Crispy, juicy, and bursting with flavor in every bite. Overall, both flavors were a win--perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and definitely worth ordering again. They have karaoke on some days you should go and try it out. read more

The Thirsty Chicken is everything you want in a hometown favorite--killer food, chill vibes, and drinks that hit the spot every single time. The wings? Unreal. Perfectly crispy, juicy, and loaded with flavor. I tried the Hot Cheeto Chick dry rub just to see what the hype was about, and now I'm hooked. They've got over 30 daiquiri flavors, and each one's a party in a cup. I went for the Strawberry Henny, and let's just say... I'm coming back for more. The staff is friendly and fast, and the energy in this place is always on point. Whether you're here for game day, a casual hang, or just picking up some wings to-go, it never disappoints. This isn't just a restaurant--it's a vibe. 10/10 recommend. read more

I had the misfortune of dining at The Thirsty Chicken, and it was an experience I wish to forget. The service was abysmal; it took ages for anyone to acknowledge our presence, let alone take our order. When we finally managed to get the attention of the staff, they seemed utterly clueless and uninterested, messing up our orders not once, but twice. Their lack of professionalism and courtesy was astounding. To top it off, they had the audacity to mix up our bill with another table's. The Thirsty Chicken's staff's incompetence and blatant disregard for customer service ruined what could have been a decent meal. Avoid at all costs if you value your time and dining experience. read more

Absolutely Phenomenal! Thirsty Chicken is hands-down one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time! The food was absolutely delicious -- every bite bursting with flavor that stole the show. The customer service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was a whole vibe from start to finish. My family and I left full as a tick and grinning ear to ear. We will absolutely be back -- and next time, we're bringing friends so they can experience the magic too! read more

Really looking forward to them adding more sides at one point (Mac and cheese please :-)). Loved the customer service and good to see a well run family business. Will DEF be back!!! read more

Upon ordering a four-piece tender, I experienced an additional 15-minute wait beyond the initial notification of readiness. While the quality of the food was satisfactory, I found the extended wait time, approximately 50 minutes, excessive for a simple order consisting of a tender and fries. read more
