I came with my cousins this afternoon/evening. It wasn't that busy when we got there and wasn't a wait to get a booth. I got the Caesar Salad with no protein, I had split the happy hour items Amanda's Trio with my cousin and we got the fries, collard greens and ranch beans. I got the adult lemonade that was spiked with peach favoring. When I got the caesar salad I didn't finish it b/c the anchovy smell was too strong for me. The collard greens were good, the fries can't complain, and the ranch beans I didn't eat b/c my cousin ordered them. Andi our waitress was very nice and patience b/c it was our first time. She cracked a couple jokes and glad she was our waitress. The next time I am in San Marcos I will try to make it here. read more

Great chill location, staff attentive but give you space. A great Austin vibe Ordered the chicken sandwich hot, they made a nice sandwich and fries, the bun as good and didn't disintegrate would have given it another star if the heat was there. I was looking for something comparing to Popeyes spicy chicken burger but upmarket a little and definitely a better vibe but guys bring the heat a little more. read more

I live and breathe for the buttermilk pie. That's all you need to know. Well, also, everything else is darn good too. Big fan of the chicken cobb salad as well as the original chicken sandwich. The food is always freshly prepared with lots of flavor and it kinda feels like you're in a real old school southern kitchen with every bite. We end up with leftovers for take home because the portions are generous. Good service. Good food. Big fan. read more

We recommend visiting Tumble 22 during happy hour on Mon-Fri between 4-6 PM for the best value. This Texas chicken joint serves spicy fried chicken and tasty sides at a reasonable price. Our favorites were the Lil' O.G. and the broccoli salad. Both the sandwich and tenders included sides, which we appreciated. We recommend clearly noting on the menu that entrees include sides to make ordering easier and faster. There is a small parking lot and a large outdoor seating area. read more

Rating: 4.1/5 [delivery] Wow, I forgot how massive these sandwiches are. They are definitely worth the price! Korean BBQ O.G. ($14.75): We chose the Dang Hot heat level, but we didn't really feel any heat. The burger was very saucy, so it was a bit messy to eat, but it was full of flavor. It was better than the first time we had it. Vodka Chicken Parm ($15.95) + Szechuan Fries ($4.15): We picked the Dang Hot heat level and it was the same as the Korean BBQ O.G. I thought the ciabatta bun would be hard, but it was actually soft. The flavors were delicious, and I loved the fresh arugula. The chicken stayed crispy and juicy even with all the sauces. The fries barely had any sauce and were pretty soggy so we had to air-fried them. The pulled hot chicken wasn't dry this time which was nice. However, we thought the Szechuan fries were much better the first time around. Two Deviled Eggs ($4.80): These were also better the first time we tried them. This time, they were just okay. read more

So Austin and I love it! Started as a food truck in Austin and now has a few locations. I frequented this Lake Austin location in high school while it was inhabited by the iconic Magnolia Cafe since the 70s and part of me didn't want to embrace the change but after getting the OG chicken sandwich, I'm a convert. It came with a VERY big, crispy and juicy chicken breast. They also have a smaller size if you're not that hungry. There are 6 spice levels and I got it "mo-hot" (3rd spice level) and it was spicy enough for me (and I love spice)! I ordered to go but this looks like a nice local hangout spot to grab some fried chicken and drinks. The gentleman at the to-go counter was very friendly. You can park and text the number on the sign and they'll bring it out to you though it was just as easy to go in and grab the order. The Sichuan fries looked good. I think I'll try the Korean sandwich next time. read more

QUALITY CHICKEN COOKED TO PERFECTION. GREAT PORTION SIZE (a real "Bang for your buck") and......Yummy, yummy, yummy!!! What more can I say?! Definitely our new "go to" spot for a casual dining, family friendly, experience. 6 stars from this mom of 3. 9 year old Jay Jay says "Way to go. He'll be back, because the skin was crispy and the chicken was moist". Special shout out to Gabriel the manager for his kind hospitality. Big hugs Y'all.....and see you soon. Finally, the location is great. It's just a 2 minute drive from our house in Westlake, and another 2 minutes to downtown. They have ample of "free parking" outside and if you sit on the patio, you can watch your car/vehicle. Safe area and clean atmosphere. A MUST GO TO IF YOU'RE COMING TO AUSTIN AND WANT A GREAT MEAL FAST. Thanks Tumble 22.......We'll be back!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox read more

I love coming to this location, their sandwiches are so good! Staff is always so friendly and considering how busy they always are we always get seated super quickly. The southern chicken sandwich offers a variety of spicy level options, Mo' Hot is my personal favorite if you like a kick of spicyness. The Mac and Cheese actually grew in me, at first it was alright but over time it just hit! The Lil OG sandwich is a good basic sandwich, not spicy at all. Overall great place to eat with friends and family, definitely recommend:) read more

This was the first meal we had after landing. I was referred to Tumble22 by a friend who was recommended by their friend. Anyways, walking into the restaurant, it's a smaller indoor place with a large patio for eating. I could imagine it being really nice when the weather gets cooler, but at 92 degrees outside, it was not for us. That being said, it's got a rustic/quirky design language and decor inside, with images of chickens and barn-esque things. Sitting down, we got to ordering. An OG sandwich and 3 boneless thighs for us, along with some sides: the broccoli salad and some ranch beans. The food came out really quickly, and it was fresh as hell. Shoutout to our server for bearing with us, because us foreigners can get annoying, I'm sure. Onto the taste. The fry was fantastic on this chicken, y'all. The sandwich came with pickles, slaw, and some sauce that was perfect. The crunch was crunching, and the juice was juicing. Great acidity from the slaw and pickles, and the richness of the chicken was fantastic. Textural flavor wonderland. Much to enjoy there. I also liked the thighs a lot. They were super tender (as they should be), and we got them a lil mo' hot, because I wanted to feel at least a little alive. Great cook as well and the breading was perfectly crisp and shattered in my mouth. Beans were pretty liquidy, but tasted great and porky. The standout side was the broccoli salad, though. It was super refreshing with the raisins and parmesan cheese. What a combo! If you're debating on sides, this is probably the one to get! What are you waiting for? Tumble22 must be the chicken for you! read more

I've never actually gotten the sandwich here before but I did this one time to see how it all comes together. Usually I just go straight to the "Star of the Show" and don't bother myself with any distractions like bread or sides of any sort. But hey, this was a great experience. I can surely understand how folks come in for the sandwich all the time and love it. It may even be better than just chicken itself all the time because the sides + burger/sandwich construction lends itself to nicely balance the meal. Service was as good as you'd expect at a fast food chicken joint with good ol southern hospitality. Great and great. We came here during lunch time so it was a bit of a rush but not too much that the staff slowed down or our meals came out late. I will definitely be back here again when I can. Love me some hot chicken! read more

Looking for a quick meal while in Austin over the weekend and Tumble 22 gave us a chance to sample another Nashville Hot chicken sandwich. The crowd today was the hard working class, mainly men, that were more than capable of handling this very generously sized sandwiched. The huge portion of chicken requires compression in order to get your mouth around the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The wood framed building reminded me of a beach house. Our friendly waitress welcomed as a first time diners with a complimentary deviled eggs appetizer. We also followed up with OG Southern Nashville Hot chicken sandwich with bread and butter pickles, Duke's mayo, creamy slaw on a potato bun. The deviled eggs were good with a crispy bacon wedge. The OG Southern Nashville Hot chicken sandwich was good but not as flavorful as I had expected. The chicken was moist, slaw was tangy and the pickles had a good crisp crunch. Tumble 22 tautes itself as a good hot chicken stand and are true as advertised. The lunch crowd was packed with mainly big hungry working men. This clientele is very loyal. The sandwich and deviled eggs were good but just not memorable to me. It is hard to argue though with a crowded restaurant of happy eaters. Tumble 22 produces a good chicken sandwich. read more

Scammy group tip by server We come here often on our tourist trips. Love the chicken sandwiches. However this time our wonderful server turned a little scammy with our group of 8. We assumed a 20% required group tip, however he brought the credit machine to table before showing a bill. The machine displayed "Add a 3, 5, 7% tip" and he watched us twist in agony what to tip. He even said something like ..."as a manager I get less tip"... So we of course manually typed in a 20% tip. When the bill finally arrived we see our group actually double tipped. When confronted he disappeared and another person in charge kindly refunded our tip. read more

Food: 9.9/10 hands down some of the best hot chicken in Austin.

Can't go wrong with spicy fried chicken. Wasn't too packed so we got to eat right away. Service was fast and friendly as well

The food was amazing. Everything had a great flavor and was cooked to perfection. The spice levels were accurate compared to their advertising. The customer service was very good. The manager and servers were outside laughing and giving the customers complete hospitality. One of the best customer service I have experienced in Austin. There really wasn't any negatives to this experience and that is why this place will always be one of my favorites in town. The only negative about the experience is trying to find parking. It is best to go during odd hours because it will be a decent walk to get there! read more

Korean sandwich was delicious but messy! Needed a shower after eating it. Need to rethink structure of this offering. Wet ingredients break down the soft buns and chicken pieces too thick to make a clean bite. It's a knife and fork undertaking. Slaw was fresh and delicious. read more

I have been driving by this place a few times a week. Hungering for some fried chicken this evening I tried to order online but the site had a glitch...so I drove up and ordered from host. OMG! These Chicken Tenders were the best I ever had. I ordered the 3 pc and was surprised at the size of the order. I went with Mo' Hot which was the perfect blend of spices. A little hot but not too much. I opted for BBQ and Ranch for my two dipping sauces. The chicken tenders were thick and juicy. Unlike some flat ones any other places. Excellent fast service and food. I will be back for more! read more

Came from California and just wanted lunch. It was in Texas for a wedding. And while all I can say is that was the best experience I've ever had Elizabeth, the waiter was amazing.

Any day for food that was absolutely the best ever. Should really open one in California. read more

SO good. It's an Austin classic, and you can never go wrong with Tumble 22. I will warn you and say that for someone who can't handle spice, I would avoid getting their most spicy level. I love their salads and devil's eggs. I'll keep my review short and sweet - Tumble 22 is popular for a reason! I have a lot of fond memories of visiting here when I was in college, so it's nostalgic to come back. read more

I haven't been here in a while but the sandwich was just ok - chicken was dry and tough, luke warm, I ordered the HOT but could hardly taste the spice. These sandwiches used to be sooooo good - when they were serving from a truck behind Star Bar they were the best I ever tasted!!!! Too bad when you get big the quality goes down. read more

This place was recommended by our duck tour guide as the best fried chicken sandwich in Austin. I have to say it's pretty good. The chicken is tender and has a good crust on it. I ordered hot spice and it wasn't too hot. I liked the slaw and pickles for texture and vinegar balance. Only gripe was the "strong" drinks was not strong! My Bloody Mary was extremely disappointing! Hope that bartender can pour a better Bloody Mary next time! Decor is super cute and eclectic with southern charm. read more

If you're craving delicious hot chicken in Austin, check out Tumble 22! Word of caution: Parking at the Lake Austin location is tight and can be tough to find a spot. If you're lucky, you can get a spot right in front. Other times, you'll need to carefully inch your way out of the lot (basically turns into a cul-de-sac situation with all the parked cars), find street parking, and then walk over. It seems like Tumble is always bustling when I come by, but service is consistently efficient and you get your food quickly! 1/4 Dark (Mo'Hot) - 5/5 - The meat is super soft and juicy with delicious crunch. Just the right amount of spice and the seasoning of the chicken is delicious. - Comes with a slice of bread, bread-n-butter pickles, and a choice of 2 sides. One time I tried the collard greens, and it was just ok. Now I always get 2 sides of their coleslaw - tastes great and cuts through some of the greasiness of the chicken. - Total came out to be $12, which is super worth it for the amount of food you get. The reason I give 4 stars overall is because Tumble's spice/seasoning seems to vary slightly by location. I've been to the Burnet Rd location and got 1/4 Dark (Mo'Hot) there, which was too spicy. At this location, I then tried their OG Chicken Sandwich and 1/4 Dark (both Hot) and there wasn't enough flavor. Overall it took some trial and error to figure out the best spice level/flavor balance but the sweet spot right now seems to be the 1/4 Dark Mo'Hot at Tumble's Lake Austin location - would highly recommend! read more

Tumble 22 - OG with mac and cheese and kimchi slaw - American Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place has a clear culinary point of view and does what they do very well. It's all about the chicken and the egg. The chicken they're most famous for is their fried tender, though there are other options. They even had meatless options. But the restaurant is a celebration of the chicken tender, which they do very well. What could compliment the chicken better than the egg. And which came first? Here, it's the egg. Their deviled egg ("heavenly egg") is their most famous appetizer and it is extremely good. Our server was hip, made us feel at home, and took good care of us. We had the deviled eggs (five halves - so I guess the chef gets a half, lol). They were creamy, well seasoned, had a little kick, and were liberally topped with candied bacon. Yummo! We are big deviled egg fans and have had many variations. These stand up to the best! My wife had two chicken tenders with a side of fries. Two was plenty. It's like a whole chicken breast cut in half lengthwise. Crispy, moist and flavorful. The fries were standard though not excellent. She says next time she'll try a different side - probably the broccoli salad. I had the cobb salad with chicken tenders. I highly recommend this. It's not available with blue cheese dressing, which is usually my preference. But I wouldn't change a thing. It was perfect. So delicious! And it also comes with a whole deviled egg (two halves). It's not exactly a healthy, low calory salad. It's a cobb. It's a bowl of decadent flavor. But it's amazingly delicious and you still get to check the box of, "I'm making healthy choices; I had salad for dinner." :-) For any chicken you order, there's a scale of heart level (spiciness). I choose, "hot," which has a detectable but lower level of heat. They offer several degrees higher than that. My wife had "mo spicy" and she has a pretty high tolerance but it was too spicy for her, so we traded out one tender each, to balance the heat. They're spiciness chart is as much about the source of the heat as it is about the level of heat. "Mo spicy" has ground, dried peppers of some sort dusted onto it. It was very unevenly dusted, and in some places downright coated. It was a very flavorful spice mix. I really enjoyed it. But don't go for 'mo unless you're really prepared. I loved it, but it made me sweat a bit. My nose ran and my lips burned. But I couldn't stop eating it, lol! I tried a drink there that sounds wierd but I really liked it! Their bar advertises, "stiff, cheap cocktails" (clever marketing). I had the 60/40. It's a beer glass filled 60% with Modelo on draft and 40% filled with a frozen blood orange margarita. Sounds crazy. But dang it was good. Bright and refreshing. I will absolutely order that again next time I'm here. And I'll order another cobb with hot chicken tenders. But since that comes with a deviled egg, instead of ordering an appetizer, I'll save room for their buttermilk pie, which looked amazing. read more

This place is busy. Parking is at a premium. Glad I ordered curbside! Ordered curbside. Waited 10 minutes. Had to go inside...Pick-up was painful. Because I ordered curbside. "We'll take it out to your car as soon as our runner clocks in." Or...give me the bag? I'm standing right here. Don't offer curbside if you don't have a runner. Chicken is good. The hot covers up any actual flavor (and I like HOT!). Collards are still pretty good. Beans are not. Fries are not. Mac & cheese is mid. A little disappointing after my jury duty experience. Maybe it's just the discombobulated service. read more

Ya know. I really wanted to like this place. I had heard nothing but incredible things about this restaurant, especially for their chicken of course, but I was left wanting more with everything. I got the Korean BBQ OG and I do not recommend it at all. The bun was too soft for the style of chicken I felt it was holding. On top of that I request for the heat level to be a 4 and felt that no spices had been added at all. On top of that, the gochujang was decent but I felt lacked any depth of flavor. The main redeeming factor is that the chicken was moist. I also ordered their Szechuan fries. Don't get them. Fries were soggy, lacked salt, and there was little to no overall flavor. The outside would be fun with a small group. I went back again just to make sure it wasn't a hoax first time but had the same experience with the OG tenders. Maybe I'm just a hater but I feel there is probably better chicken in the area. I hope so at the very least. read more

I don't know how Tumble does it, but my chicken sandwich (the OG) comes out perfectly crispy and stays crispy even way after I begin to eat. The OG is tje perfect combination of spicy chicken breast with amazing flavor, complimented by sweet coleslaw and pickles. The only downside is that the bread can get a bit soggy from the coleslaw but that's typically how it goes for most places that put coleslaw on burgers. I'm not sure what's in the cheese sauce but the Mac and cheese is a no-skip every single time. This location can be tricky with parking so keep that in mind when you visit. While it looks small, I like that they have a heated patio on top of the physical location. The inside does get really loud and can be sort of cramped but I'm not knocking stars because the food is just too good. I will say our server did not visit super often to refill drinks or give the check (I opted to not take the little bit of my sandwich to go because I didn't want to wait for him another time). I have had great service before and our server this time was still friendly so no points off overall. read more

I tried the regular sandwich, collard greens, and lemonade. The sandwich was a lot bigger than I thought so I appreciated that given the price, and it was pretty flavorful. I wasn't the biggest fan of the greens but they weren't bad by any means. My favorite part of the experience was the lemonade crazily enough. Extremely tasty and refreshing and I can't stop thinking about it! The wait wasn't long though parking was a challenge at this location. read more

What a great place. We ordered a 1/4 white plate hot which was the perfect blend of spice and flavor. The greens were incredibly flavorful and the house made Mac and cheese was one of the best we've had. The manager came by a couple of times to check on us and the server was attentive. Overall, a great experience! read more

I was in the area, Googled fried chicken, and found this location. I had never been here before and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I got the two boneless chicken thighs and a mac and cheese side. It also came with the best pickles I have ever had. It was terrific. I was concerned about the hot part, but you can order without hot. I sat outside on the patio, where they had heaters and tents over the patio. The menu is a QR code. My server was friendly and attentive. This was previously Magnolia Cafe before they closed this location. The parking lot is tiny, but I came at an off-hour and was able to park.

Was debating between here or chick-fil-a, and am disappointed I chose here. I would not order a chicken sandwich again. The chicken itself was good, but the bun completely disintegrated from the sauce. I would not use potato bun for a saucy sandwich. The fries were so bland, I could tell they were frozen. It even seems like they're trying to skimp on their packaged goods. The cutlery was so dimpy and barely able to cut through the sandwich. Overall did not feel like they put out a quality product. read more

I've passed by this place SO MANY TIMES! Ive never had the chance to go in but my sister also was curious and wanted to try it out on a Friday night. Despite the very limited parking we were able to find some street parking around the corner which made for a short walk (no complaints). We assumed it would be a little of a wait due to how busy it seemed but as soon as we walked up to the host stand we were able to be seated inside. Service was extremely fast. We got an appetizer to start and we were just taking a few bites when our main dish came up. The inside got a little loud at times since it's so small, at one point we considered being moved to the outside seating because it was just so loud you couldn't hear your own thoughts. After a while it calmed down and we enjoyed our food! I got the OG sandwich in hot which was not super hot for me, but comfortable. I think next I could probably do 1 level up from it and this is coming from someone who can't eat more than 3 hot Cheetos without tears in their eyes. Can't wait to come back. read more
