The drinks are really good. Outdoor arena with TVs for drinks and dining. Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere.

We joined some friends here last night for a birthday party. ***only outdoor seating*** The drinks were very good. The music was great. The food so-so. The staff bland. I ordered the spicy lemon pepper and they were so salty I could only eat two. My friend's order came after, and her's were super salty as well. She is diabetic and had to send her's back to be remade. The staff was lacking in personality and one would expect someone in a daiquiri shop to be a bit more lively- at least smile. We moved to the back patio where it was very dark, but the music was louder and felt like we weren't disturbing families with young children. A few minutes before closing the staff turned on some bright strip lights that would have been useful the entire night, not like a bar or club when they are trying to get customers to leave at the end of the night.... read more

The Thirsty Chicken - Spicy lemon pepper - Chicken Wings Near Me - Leander, Texas

Great food and good service. Order takes a while but worth it. Everything cooked fresh so it takes time. I see workers come in and have their orders ready when they get there. Call ahead if you're in a rush. Nice folks. My wife says it's the best wings she's ever had. Won't break the bank like those mother pluckers. read more

Always good. Def best when eaten on location for the integrity of the crispy freshness!

Delicious chicken and fries. Perfect spot and can go next door to the beer garden to grab a cold brew. Highly rate this place.

Visited this place for the first time and we were super impressed. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful navigating the menu and drink options. The wings were some of the best we've had. We ordered 4 different types and enjoyed each of them. The drinks were equally great. Generally frozen drinks I'm not a fan of, but these had a great flavor and you could tell they didn't skimp out on the alcohol. Because the food is made fresh we expected a little bit of a wait, but was very surprised by how quickly the food did come out. This will be a go to place for us when we are craving wings or drinks. read more

Writing this review solely for the fried cauliflower. Food is overly salty. It makes you really thirsty. Even water costs money.

Food was so good and we loved the fun patio with bright colors, tv's and great music! The daiquiris were also very good! Highly recommend!

We ordered food to go from here over the weekend. It was packaged pretty great and no spillage. It was all of our first time trying it and it was pretty delicious! The wings were perfectly cooked and we got all the wing flavors except for the BBQ and the naked wing. The flavor was incredible, but the spice wasn't there. We ordered Buffalo hot and it tasted more like Buffalo mild. The Asian heat was probably our favorite flavor! The fried pickle was my least favorite thing as the batter just tasted like flour and no seasoning. Took a star down because of the lack of spicy and the fried pickle not being tasty. read more

They are slow and will not take cash. I avoid using credit card and pay apps as much as possible. There wings are not good enough for me to make an exception. read more

Amazing customer service and yummy wings!! Love this spot. Side note: lemon pepper wings were perfect

What a hidden gem in Leander! I had heard some rumblings about this spot opening up, and couldn't wait to check them out. They just opened this past week, and boy am I glad they're here in Leander. Located in the heart of Old Town Leander, this spot definitely has a relaxed and cool vibe. Very colorful building, and as another reviewer stated, has a very Downtown Austin feel to it. On this particular occasion, I ordered some wings to go, and let me tell you...they were excellent! I'm talking right up there with Pluckers and maybe even slightly better. Juicy and full of flavor, these wings definitely had some meat on their bones which was such a welcome sight. For only being open a week, the service was excellent, staff was friendly and upbeat, and they definitely paid attention to detail when food was coming out to make sure it was accurate. The owner was there greeting everyone as they walked in, and it was a nice feeling. I LOVED the way the food was packaged to go. It was a tray of wings and then they had a paper lid that slid right over the top to keep the food warm-much better than the styrofoam! It was easy to transport and eat at home. We will definitely be back to enjoy some drinks and wings on the patio! I will make a return trip to review the chicken tenders and chicken sandwich!! Welcome to Leander! read more

The lemon pepper wings had no butter sauce to it, and were very dry. The fries were good and the shape is different. Seating is only outside and in 100 degree weather, the fans don't help at all and was quite miserable. Maybe their sauced wings have more flavor, but I love some garlic parmesan and lemon pepper wings, and I'm worried to take a chance on the garlic. Plus they were closed for maintenance and said would be open on Friday, and wasn't open then or that following Monday. I know things happen but a note on the door would have been nice read more

The Thirsty Chicken - Daiquiris and chicken strips - Chicken Wings Near Me - Leander, Texas

Waited 1.5 hours for our food. Drinks were great but waiting that long for food. They said they had to fill orders for Uber first, rather than take care of customers at restaurant. read more

This place was one of my absolute musts to take a friend who was visiting from out of state to! I really love the food here, and since everything is made to order it's super fresh and tasty. I don't even mind waiting a while for food (sometimes when it's busy the wait can be 40-ish minutes, but the time goes by fast with good friends and good music on the patio deck) because I know it will consistently be great. The staff here is really friendly, and have always had excellent recommendations. Before moving to Texas I never realized how popular daiquiris were, but I can totally see why now. I love the variety of flavors they offer for them. Every time we come here we always leave happy and content, as well as already looking forward to the next time we can stop by! The owner is so kind and personable and I'm super happy for her and her family for the success. Thanks for creating such a cool space! read more

I saw this place on yelp. Wanted to try something new. I got a Frozen Mangonada and my bf got a watermelon version. The drinks were great! Food: He got 10 wings (spicy lemon pepper and garlic) he said the sauce was tasty and they had a good crisp too. I got the Cauliflower bites (spicy lemon pepper). They were good, could have been more crispy (but that's preference, could ask next time). Fried pickles didn't love, probably wouldn't order again. Kinda pricey but still bomb! read more

Delicious! We loved everything we got. You have to eat outside but they do their best to keep it as cool as possible.

Y'all really need to go to the thirsty chicken. They have out done pluckers and Buffalo Wild Wings. The service is great and the wings are on point and beyond!! I recommend everyone goes here and if y'all don't I'll give you the bird myself. Outstanding job these guys and gals have done!! read more

Oh yeah!!! Tender chicken, sooo flavorful, his sandwich was perfectly done, great sauces, and the fries (jo jos) were the best. We have finally found a chicken place! read more

This place is DELICIOUS!!! The ambiance is relaxed and ready for a good time. I love how juicy the chicken is, the fries OH MY GAWD, topped with a fried pickle YUM! Their drinks are fun, their sauces are to die for and the music is THE BEST MIX, taking back to my high school days. Of course I had to buy some chicken for the pups ‍ read more

I liked everything I had! I got the cauliflower bites, two piece tender, and a daiquiri. Had to wait about 30 min but it was worth it to have hot and fresh food. The place is cute and fun. Service was great. I'll be back! read more

Came here with the whole fam bam (wifey, 7 year olds, and 2 pups). We sat in their outdoor patio which has pretty sweet decor. Their menu is simple and refined - chicken and fries - because they have absolutely nailed it with delicious food. They also have several daiquiri and adult beverages - which we'll try out next time. Then we finished it off with a cookie and brownie for dessert, which were also bomb. Overall highly satisfied and would absolutely recommend!!! We'll be back many more times for sure. read more

Best chicken ever! Im not a french fry kind of person snd these Fries are my LIFE. Service is always amazing as well.

Wings cooked perfectly, juicy , sauces amazing! Best ranch ever! And the Daiquiris are Amazing! White Russian my favorite!! Best place in Austin Area!!!! read more

Great wings and service. I am very specific on the meat and I hate the big retailers as the quality of chicken is so bad. Thirsty chicken was great and the spice level was decent. I will try the hottest one next time to see how good that is. read more

Outstanding food. Husband says these are the best wings and we are definitely coming back. The daiquiris are great.

Wonderful staff and atmosphere, always very welcoming and never too crowded. They also have great deals on something almost everyday

I've never submitted a review in over 10 years. This is my first. I guess I never thought any place was worthy enough for me to spend the time to do it. This by far the best wings in all of Austin. I've been here over 20 years. Great flavor and the quality was amazing. Can't wait to try it in person. Thank you! read more

I've been here a few times and definitely recommend it to others even though it's a pretty long wait time. Placed a pick up order through grub hub and it said it would be ready in 15-35 minutes. Showed up about 50 minutes later just to be safe. The man behind the counter said it was going to be another 30 minute wait. The he small inside area was pretty packed with others waiting on their food too. With my kid being hungry I asked him to just cancel the order as it hadn't even been started yet. He rudely said ok fine it's canceled you'll get a refund in 7-10 business days. That was on 1-27-23. I contacted grubhub today and was told he never canceled it so I'm still waiting on a refund. If you feel like waiting for a while, order the bone in wings. The tenders had a weird texture. Big red sauce is the bomb though and so are the fried pickles. I probably won't be back just for the face that he was just so rude and they definitely need an extra fryer in the kitchen. read more

I went here for lunch with my husband. The girl at the counter was nice and friendly. I got the jailbird sandwich and Cajun fries. My husband got chicken tenders and regular fries. He said they were good. But mine was so delicious. A little messy but they give you wet wipes. The many flavors of daiquiris was a delicious treat on a warm day. We sat out back and enjoyed the fresh air read more

This was really a great place!!! Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but so far I haven't heard anyone complain. Just go!!! See for yourself read more
