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

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

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

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

First time visit for me with friends (party of 8) and this spot did not disappoint. Our server was attentive, fun, and polite. The food was on point and portions were generous. I went with the OG chicken sandwich paired with a Big Larry (dangerous). The ambiance is casual and chill. Overall solid experience - I do recommend! read more

Tumble 22 - The OG - American Near Me - Austin, Texas

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

Busy place , I always wanted to try it . I guess it's a place you only try once. It was the most tasteless chicken I ever had. No flavor at all. The Cole slaw was also the most tasteless coleslaw ever created. Cabbage and cheap mayo. No other flavor. What a waste of money and the service was just as bad. Flirting old women wanting a good tip. They couldn't even get the order right.They didn't give me the sauces for the tasteless chicken that I paid for. I give them zero stars. read more

Very solid chicken with great flavor. I liked that you can choose the spice amount. Mac and cheese was very cheesy and creamy. 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. I will be back! read more

Man oh man, I just love this place!!! Anytime my partner and I are craving "grub" or "homie" food, we always go to Tumble 22. We have been here so many times! Our go-to is the jumbo chicken tenders with some spice. SO good - honorable mention to the honey mustard and ranch sauces. We love to share a large mac, side of fries, and side of potato salad. The food is consistent, so juicy, perfect crisp on the chicken -- something I definitely can't replicate at home. Additionally, the staff is always so kind and friendly. The restaurant vibes are laid back and clean, and I love the decor inside. Plus, the lights on the patio are such a cute addition - and warm enough to sit in the winter!!! PLUS this place has an unbeatable happy hour for drinks and food! Their frozen blood orange margarita is super good (& strong!!). I can't wait for it to get warmer and start ordering these again. Highly recommend - great place for a date, to bring family, and to bring friends! read more

Tumble 22 - Chicken tenders - American Near Me - Austin, Texas

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

This chicken sandwich was ridiculous. It came with spicy fried chicken, coleslaw, pickles, and duke's mayo on a buttered bun I'm not the biggest fan of coleslaw but it just elevated this sandwich and added a nice cooling aspect because that chicken was spiiiiiicy The flavors were just so great and I thought my spice level was perfect. The spice levels are: wimpy, hot, mo' hot, dang hot, cluckin' hot, and stupid hot :) Also, keep in mind we got the LIL' sandwiches... THERE'S A BIGGER SANDWICH THAN THIS ON THE MENU!!! #crazy I love Texas sizes. Thank you Texas for your big sizes and thank you Nashville for your beautiful hot chicken ‍ 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

Best restaurant I've ever been to. I try and go here at least once a week, and there has been times I go twice a day. I love tumble 22, this will be catered at my wedding one day and I will be getting a tumble 22 tattoo. The chicken is amazing and there is a spice level for anyone to enjoy, the chocolate and buttermilk pies are also very delicious. Their MAC AND CHEESE IS PHENOMENAL, they have the best ranch in ATX, they have plenty of seating options inside and out. You have not lived if you haven't been to tumble 22. read more

Tumble 22 - Large Mac-N-Cheese and Lil' Chicken Sandwich and Ranch Dressing and chicken 12 Piece Bites - American Near Me - Austin, Texas

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

Not a bad place to dine-in, if you're craving an easy chicken sandwich. But I would say be wary ordering online for pick-up, especially during peak hours. Despite the menu simplicity and order pickup estimation times, you will likely have to wait way beyond that time. read more

Don't order to-go. Everything in my order was half of what I ordered. Not one single container was filled all the way. Literally filled to half of the containers. My chicken was not the level of spice I ordered (cluckin hot instead was served naked). Even the $10 Big Larry wasn't even close to the top of the cup. Didn't receive the ranch that was supposed to be included with my order. Not the first time this has happened so I'm finally writing a review to complain bc the service manager only offered an apology. read more

Tumble 22 - Big Larry looks pretty small when it's to-go. Also not even frozen anymore. - American Near Me - Austin, Texas

We arrived on a Monday afternoon, and were quickly seated. They have lots of benches inside and seating, and was great AC on a hot day. Spice Level (Hot)- in this location, it seems that it was not that hot. We barely tasted the heat, and it seemed that they didn't even put any spice on it. At other locations, their hot might be a little spicier. At this specific location, we would have gotten the next level spice. Dark 1/4 (Mac Cheese, Cole Slaw), Hot- chicken is delicious, juicy, and super crispy. For the price with the amount of food, this is a great deal, since it comes with 2 sides. Mac and Cheese was delicious, creamy, and gooey, which was a great contrast to the fried chicken. Cole Slaw overall was good, but nothing memorable. The OG, Hot- HUGE chicken, super juicy, and an overall great sandwich. Wish that we got a spicier level, because "Hot" did not have enough spice either. Maybe if it were spicier, the sandwich would taste even better. read more

Amazing, fresh chicken and incredible service! We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and while it was busy they seated and served us very quickly. Between two of us we got a 3piece tenders, and a 12 piece nuggets with Mac and cheese and fries and everything was fantastic. The chicken was not greasy but perfectly crispy and the spice was incredible. We got the Serrano and habanero spice rubs and they did not disappoint! We will be back. read more

We got the Lil Larry frozen (I can see the hype), the loaded fries, and spicy chicken sandwiches-OG and southern. All of the food was really good and the lil Larry was surprisingly strong. Our server was attentive and kind. Go grab a bite and walk town lake- or Vice versa. read more

Best chicken I've ever had!! I love that there are different levels of spicy, from "whimpy/painless" to "stupid hot". I'm definitely more of a whimp lol but my husband definitely loves a good kick and loves their spice! The chicken is always tender and perfectly breaded, their coleslaw is phenomenal and I freaking love the fries!! Highly recommended read more

Chicken is great go gets some big Larry's. Amazing service from the manager Gabe and out waitress Ivonne!

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. She knew everything about that menu, very personable, made our experience. One of a lifetime and the manager was the sweetest lady. I would come from California to Texas. Any day for food that was absolutely the best ever. Should really open one in California. read more

Amazing food! Staff is very nice, manager came over to greet us as the restaurant was just opening. He was very nice and we told him how much we enjoyed it, we were traveling to Austin from Dallas for ACL weekend. We will definitely be back to try the spot and enjoy the great culture. read more

Tumble 22 has some of the best-fried chicken I've ever had. On top of that, all the sides I've tried were also delicious too! I love the 1/4 dark meat combo with two sides, it's the perfect amount of food. The best sides are the mac and cheese, coleslaw, and broccoli salad. Everything tasted great. The service was good too! They were super welcoming and friendly. Always happy to come back. read more

Tumble 22 - 1/4 dark meal - hot - American Near Me - Austin, Texas

Sandwiches are ~$13 with crunchy pickles, delicious slaw and with hearty fried chicken, the sides are so good (i don't know what they do to their mac and cheese but it's perfectly cheesy and creamy with corkscrew noodles), the service is extremely fast and they're so nice here! I'll definitely be back. It's a louder rowdier ambiance with a sports bar but a great lunch spot with friends and family or a quick bite. read more

Vegetarians, we can now hang out here with our carnivore friends! I got the Lil OG with the plant-based chicken and it was really good! The Lil OG is about the size of a chik fil a sandwich and it's the only one you can make plant-based. The pecan toffee pie is insanely good. Would come here just for the pie. Parking is limited so you'll have to do street parking but it's not the worst. read more

My wife is a fried chicken lover, it's her go to food. As we were moving out of the West Lake Hills area to Lakeway, for work, we wanted to try one more new place - to us. I'm so grateful we found Tumble 22. The service, eating area, and food were all divine. Parking can be a bit tough, but it's well worth the hassle. And it's Austin, where is parking not tough? First, they have decent size outdoor seating area that is covered, dog friendly, and features a TV if that's your thing! They also feature indoor seating for those less humid inclined. We were seated promptly and our server was amazing the whole time we were there. She provided exceptional explanations of the menu in terms of the true spice level, and we were provided a complimentary appetizer as first timers which was a very pleasant surprise. The most important part: the fried chicken. Absolutely amazing! Hands down, this is top tier chicken. Not only that, their spice levels actually include spice. I can't tell you how annoying it is to go somewhere that claims their food is spicy only to be met with a pinch of salt as the actual spice. This place makes some actual spicy chicken and it's delicious. The sides were on point, and their margaritas hit the spot. read more

Second time dropping into this chicken joint and it seems like it only gets better. By far one of the top fried chicken sandwiches I've had. We've gotten their OG, Cobb salad, and bite sized chicken pieces. The bite size pieces are pretty good. The OG is my #1 for this place so far. Each bite is loaded with chicken, crispiness, and spice. I've only tried their medium spice level and this seems to pack a good punch without being too overwhelming. Highly recommend checking this place out and getting at least the OG (medium spice level)!! read more

We ordered a broccoli salad, mac n cheese, 3 boneless thighs, tenders and a chicken sandwich. By golly, fried chicken places in Austin are done right and we both quickly ate the food we ordered. The food is all delightfully crispy and flavorful. The sides are so fatty in all the right ways and tastes so good~ read more

We really have it good here in Austin. It's easy to see the negative and complain, but when you think of all of the great people around us and our great dining options, it puts some of the quibbles into perspective. Tumble 22 is excellent. You will eat good food here. At the risk of blasphemy, I prefer it to Hattie B's in Nashville (which is also excellent). Along with great food, the service here is fast and friendly, the location is great, and - as mentioned before - you get great food in a great city. Are we perfect? Of course not. Is there work to be done? Absolutely. That we get to forge ahead with our bellies filled by places like Tumble 22 make it all worthwhile. Onward and upward! If anyone feels like "OMG, that wasn't even about chicken!", accept my apologies. read more

Love tumble! Two piece boneless thigh, oh my!! Just a little spicy with some broccoli salad to calm it down. Solid chicken spot!
