Me, the wife, and our 1yr old came here on the way to an Astros game. Location is just outside of downtown with free on site parking, making it convenient a spot as I can think of before fighting for downtown parking. The interior is pretty par for the course for a hot chicken restaurant, I think we all know what they look like now, but it was clean and well lit. Service was quite nice, we ordered quickly after being sat immediately on a Friday evening. Server/bartender offered to put in our little ones order to come out asap and it was very thoughtful and helpful. Our order on the other hand took about 30mins to get to us. It's my only gripe with the our visit, it wasn't but maybe 50% full when we came and it took longer for us to get 2 chicken sandwiches than it would for us to get a meal at a full service restaurant. I think the reason it bothered me more than usual is because we were thinking this wouldn't be more than a 30min meal all together before a ball game. Taking as long as it did t seemed strange especially with how heavily staffed they were. The sandwich itself was quite big and the crispy texture was there without drying out the chicken. I liked how the menu heat levels were described in types of familiar peppers. Always feel silly asking places "how hot is the 'Darn Tootin' Hot level'?", and I'm sure they're tired answering. Mostly different types of sandwiches populate the menu and there's some well priced drinks and some tasty sounding desserts and pies that are there as well. Fries are a separate charge, and really didn't add much to our experience. Ultimately I think I'd come back again for a another try since the main conceit is done right. read more

This is a cute little restaurant that delivers in a big way. The service is excellent. The food is delicious and hot. And it's all reasonably priced. We were seated promptly, and the amazing Ary took our orders. There was a slight delay in delivery but several servers checked on us to make sure we were okay and kept us updated on our order status. The portion sizes were HUGE and everyone was pleased with their dishes. The Korean chicken was a big hit. I'm a vegetarian and they adapted a Cobb salad for me without issue. All in all a five star experience! Shout out to Ary because it was her first day and we had no idea! She was friendly, attentive and professional! read more

Great fried chicken. Heard about this place and it is great Great staff and great cooks. Best chicken nuggets around We will be back read more

The service was superb. Ambiance is great though a speck chilly inside. If it's your first visit they will bring you a sample of each side they have plus the first 3 heat levels of chicken bites. We got the chicken bites with a side of dirty fries, a side of Mac and cheese and a chicken sandwich. The chicken bites were good, the chicken sandwich was a little plain, the dirty fries real good and the Mac n cheese good. Great place to eat if you like chicken. Also tried the comeback sauce, not a fan read more

After the chaos and stress of Hurricane Beryl, my family and I were desperately in need of some comforting, delicious food, and Tumble 22 in Houston delivered! Thanks to my mama n laws recommendation! We waited for about 35 mins before we were sat down, which was due to them being understaffed (Hurricane) and everyone wanting to eat there as well. First off, the chicken was cooked to literal perfection--crispy on the outside and tender/juicy on the inside, with just the right amount of spice. Shoutout to whoever the cook is! We also tried the mac and cheese, which was creamy and rich (queso based, which I'm not a fan of, but this one was great. It was a lovely compliment to the spiciness of the chicken. Each bite of chicken for me was like a warm hug, exactly what we needed to lift our spirits. Especially since it was my first cooked meal post Hurricane. The collard greens were another highlight. They were perfectly seasoned, with a nice touch of heat that made it more savory. Our server Trey provided unfiltered raw customer service that resulted in much needed laughter! In a time when comfort and quality were needed most, Tumble 22 provided both in abundance. To me, if you're looking for a place that serves flavorful Southern comfort food, especially after a rough time, Tumble 22 is the place to go. Highly recommend! read more

I saw this place with its good reviews on Yelp and wanted to stop by for a try. It's a nice place with friendly staff and an inviting atmosphere. The food came out at a reasonable speed and our server, Makai, was nice, too. However, the food wasn't what I expected, and my family and I didn't enjoy it. We each got a fried chicken sandwich and none of them were good. We got The O.G., Korean-Style O.G., and the Tupelo Hot Honey. The original was super boring with nothing special about it. Both the Korean and hot honey styles were sopping wet, to the point where it was difficult to pick up the sandwich. The liquids made the bread soggy and everything unappetizing. There was too much honey on the hot honey sandwich, and the gochujang sauce on the Korean one was just unpleasant in general. In addition, we ordered the Szechuan Fries to share. Personally, I liked them, but my mom and sister did not. They had more of a sweet wasabi flavor than Szechuan pepper, but I didn't mind too much. The only good thing we ordered was the Pecan Pie Shake. But, how hard is it to mess up a milkshake? They blended a piece of their homemade pie with some ice cream and whipped cream. It was delicious, but not enough to make me want to come back again. Save your money and go to another fried chicken spot. read more

Tumble 22 was sooo goood! Omg this is probably my now #1 chicken spot!ordered the full instead of half option and now realize the half would have been more than enough. Beautiful presentation of the salad, full of hot chicken, and served with 2 deviled eggs. I ordered the salad with the chicken bites, spicy level hot. The chicken was so perfectly flavored and fried. I was there around 6 pm on a Monday and there were plenty of open tables. The interior is nice and the staff are friendly. I plan to go back to try both of the loaded fries options.

Have loved tumble 22 since my experience in Austin and this Houston location is no different. I've come more than a handful of times since opening and no complaints! It's good and cheap tbh for a meal. It's a little odd to me that it's not just counter service because the food seems to be on that scale but the customer service is always great. had one of the best shakes here, hot bartender recommended cookies &cream shake but add peanut butter - my god. read more

We had dinner at Tumble 22 after a birthday bar hop. This was my first time dining at Tumble 22. They have a small parking lot on the side of the building. We didn't have any issues finding a spot on a Saturday evening. If the lot is full, you can also park on the street. Our server was Mike, and he was very nice and accommodating. I started with a Crawford Bock for my beverage. For my meal, I ordered the 2 Piece Jumbo Tenders and added a side of collard greens for an additional $2. The greens were a little heavy on the vinegar, but still pretty good. I originally requested BBQ sauce for the tenders, but it had a bit of a spiciness to it. I ended up requesting ranch instead and it was much better. The Painless (mild) seasoning was very flavorful. I liked them better than the chicken tenders at Gus's. At the end of the meal, we asked Mike if we could get a birthday dessert for our friend. He checked with the manager, David. After a few minutes, they both walked out with a slice of toffee pecan pie with a candle in it. We then sang happy birthday to our friend before sharing the pie. The pie was really tasty and very sweet! I get the impression that they don't normally do birthday desserts, so it was extremely nice of them to do that for us! read more

Tumble 22 was sooo goood! Omg this is probably my now #1 chicken spot! The service was great, and they have so much seating! The vibes were laid back and casual. Our server asked if it was our first time there and we replied yes, then he proceeded to bring us a "first timer platter" which had sample of sides and 3 samples of the bites which were "painless, hot, & mo'hot". I ended up going with the hot 2 piece tenders which were so good! They had a light kick but nothing crazy. My boyfriend got the 8pc mo'hot bites which were a bit more on the spicy side..he couldn't even finish them lol! We got a pecan pie shake which contained actually bits on pecan pie which was so yummy! It wasn't overwhelmingly sweet and was just right to satisfy my sweet tooth. If you're thinking of dropping by please do, you will not regret! lol read more

Tumble 22 - 1/4 Dark - Chicken Shop Near Me - Houston, Texas

Ok, don't hate me for the low stars.. I came here for the first time with a group. It was the last stop of the night for our Yelp friends' bday. The crew was already seated when I arrived, so there were no issues grabbing a table on a Saturday night. Service - was fantastic, I would rate this a 5 stars. Mike, our server was great and went above and beyond. David, the manager, stopped by our table, greeted us warmly. Pro's- -We also were able to receive a pecan/toffee pie at the end of the meal to celebrate the birthday boy. The manager David came out to present it. Excellent and thoughtful service. -We were able to get individual tickets at the end of the night for our group, with zero hassle. Food - was mid for me. But everyone else loved their meal, so I'm going to assume the food is solid and try again. I ordered the lil OG sandwhich -fried, and the dirty fries. The dirty fries portion was small, in my opinion, but maybe this just is what it is. I thin Overall, the service was fab, and I mostly appreciate that. read more

We were greeted and seated right away on a Friday night. I love the dim lighting. It made the place feel more intimate. We got seated at a corner table, so that's why maybe too it felt more intimate. The margarita was tasty! We got a sandwich and bone in chicken to share. Both were really good! I can't wait to go back and try the strips and up the heat level. We got the second lowest one and wasn't spicy to me. Usually I'm a pansy when it comes to heat but I should've got the next level up. The coleslaw paired very well with the sandwich. The food did take a while to come out, but not to the point we had to notify someone. We had time. read more

As soon as my fiance & I walked through the door we were welcomed with smiling faces & compliments! Set the tone right from the start... The food was delicious and fulfilling! I had the Three Jumbo Chicken Strips (mo hot) & those alone were enough to fill me up. But of course we didn't stop with those, my fiance ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich in which he couldn't stop talking about! Between the two of us, we enjoyed the Dirty Fries! If they come out fresh then they are delicious! We had just asked for them to be served with our food, so they weren't as fresh (which that is on us, not the restaurant)! Overall, a great restaurant! read more

Dined in on a Saturday at 4:30 for a pay of five and was seated immediately. Not the best location, parking is in the back. We were craving fried chicken but it did not hit the spot. Chicken was lacking flavor and the sides are not great. You can substitute different chicken parts which was nice. The dirty fries are good. It was the first thing that came out so we devoured it. The pickles that come with it are tasty. We ordered all the sides and it was bland. read more

So picture this--I'm headed to the airport a couple months back, bags in tow, little extra time to waste, and my stomach whispering, "feed me something good before this flight." On a total impulse, I swing into Tumble 22. Best. Decision. Ever. Now listen, I couldn't even tell you exactly what I ordered (airport brain is real), but I can tell you this: whatever it was, it was so damn good I've been thinking about it ever since. Crispy, juicy, seasoned just right--the kind of food that makes you close your eyes for a second like you're catching the Holy Ghost of fried chicken. The vibe inside? Chill and inviting. You don't feel rushed, but you also don't feel forgotten. The staff had me in and out quick enough to catch my flight, but still warm and friendly like they actually cared that I stopped by. All I know is, if a random impulse stop has me still telling y'all about it months later, that's a sign. Tumble 22--y'all got me hooked. Next time, I'm coming back on purpose. read more

The chicken was fresh and the service was fast! I got the bourbon mule and it had the right amount of kick. The atmosphere is chill and family friendly. Parking maybe tight but well worth it. Chicken was delicious i went with mild and it was perfect! read more

Tumble 22 - 1/2 Mixed Regular Collard Greens Regular Mac-N-Cheese - Chicken Shop Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came on a weekday afternoon for early dinner with my cousin. The restaurant wasn't busy so we got sat quickly. The restaurant has plenty of space with a full bar and a couple tv's. We got our orders quickly - I got the og sandwich with the heat level on the medium side (mo hot). The sandwich was delicious - the breast was incredibly juicy with a crispy exterior and the bun was toasted well. I personally think I could have gone a little bit spicier, but overall I enjoyed the sandwich a lot. I know a lot of hot chicken popping up, but this place is definitely a solid choice! Come check it out! read more

Tumble 22 - O.G. Chicken Sandwich - Chicken Shop Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is a cool rustic vibe restaurant. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and attentive throughout our dining. I ordered the Tupelo Honey OG sandwich with the 'Mo Hot' spice level. I'll admit that I could barely taste the spice in this one. The chicken temperature itself was extremely hot, but not at all spicy, which was surprising. The sandwich is tasty and you can clearly see the honey glaze evenly dispersed. They do not offer any kind of seasoning for the fries aside from salt so they were just okay. read more

Well, the chicken looked cooked on the outside... and was raw on the inside. Thankfully they remade the order, but it was wild that it had even occurred. We got Mo Hot and the Dang Hot spice, both of which were similar in heat level but tasted of the pepper, so choose based on that! Bbq sauce was sweet and smoky and the ranch was fine. The sauce containers were half filled. read more

Food was great ,service was great and the ambiance not loud and very chill. Great location and great spot to try some good food. The server and management present were great all food was fresh and full of flavor. The only down fall about this first visit was the fact that the kitchen was messing orders, everything else was great. I highly recommend the sandwiches they are delicious. I will be going back maybe just for the pie since that's the only thing I didn't try . If you're in there definitely stop by. read more

Yum! I tried the chicken sandwhich- it did take a while to come out... but once it did, it was yummy. Also tried a few of the sides Greens, beans, and mac- all were tasty. We sampled some of the chicken, "super hot"? And it had a lot of flavor...but once mixed with honey based sauce it lessened some of the heat we were hoping to have...no biggie. Server was great. I would definitely recommend this establishment...I look forward to going back and trying the bone in chicken. Seeing those plates come out for other tables had me reconsidering what I ordered- but once my food arrived it looked just as good - read more

Ordered pickup from Tumble 22 today and tried the Thanksgiving special sandwich along with the greens and mac 'n' cheese. The food was fantastic, as always! When I got home, I noticed the sandwich had a small piece of chicken that only covered about half the bun, with the rest being mostly breading -- an honest mistake from the kitchen. I called and spoke with the manager, who was incredibly helpful and immediately made it right. They offered to remake the sandwich on the spot or let me come back later this month for a new one, which I really appreciated. The customer service and the food were both outstanding, as always. And truly, they still serve some of the best greens I've had in Houston. read more

We had an alright little lunch here. Like others have stated it is a pretty chill laid back vibe. They have parking right behind the building for NO CHARGE WHAAAAT! I tried the sand which of the month which I thought was alright it was my mistake that I didn't know it was a thigh piece not tenders. I probably would have enjoyed it more as tenders. As for the heat if you like heat go above mo heat (jalapeno) i thought it was going to be spicy but it had just a little heat. We also had their loaded fries which I was all over they were great. all in all its a good little spot in downtown houston read more

First, it was delicious. The atmosphere... it's okay; Nothing special. The staff were okay. I was greeted and handed a menu. Order taken. Checked out. Done. Not overly friendly but not bad, just to the point. I took my order to-go and that skin stayed CRISPY - even 20min later, but holy cow was it spicy! I'm not into overly spicy food and I got the lowest level of spice ("hot") and I was snotty with eyes watering like MAD. "Gotta take breaks" kind of spicy. The sides - meh. Got the broccoli salad and I needed to fix it up a bit at home. The Mac and cheese was standard. Again, it was delicious but if you have any intolerance to spice I would go with "painless". Avoid the broccoli salad. Don't expect much from the Mac. I'd go back but I'll try other stuff. read more

Sit your keister down at the best bar seats I have ever had the sheer pleasure of lounging in--perhaps in my life. Bold claim? Maybe, but I dare you to find another bar stool that gives you a welcome hug and let's you settle in for the long haul. Tumble 22's shinning star is definitely the bartender, David! David and I go way back to when, prior to visiting the establishment, I called to inquiry about the level of dog-friendliness. Thanks to his guided expertise, I chose to leave my gigantic furbaby at home to experience this gem myself. David was also incredibly knowledgeable of the menu and food pairings. He was attentive and helpful at every turn. Their HEAVENLY deviled eggs with the dang hot rub: perfection. The blend of the creamy egg yolk, kick of the spice, and subtle undertones of brown sugar--you won't be disappointed. But, oh my...the chicken is divine. The mo' hot was plenty of heat for me. And their comeback sauce--while I can't correctly explain what it is--paired nicely with my chicken. In short, this could be your new favorite neighborhood haunt. read more
