In my opinion, Golden Chick is the best fried chicken in Texas. The spicy tenders are a must try in my opinion. They also have amazing fresh rolls that I always use to make tinder sandwiches. The battered fries are amazing if you get them fresh out of the fryer, though they become soggy pretty quick, so start with them! This location is pretty ok, but I’ve had more issues with quality at this location than the Round Rock location. RR is on point 100% of the time.

Came through the drive thru today the gentleman working the window gave me some hope when I was in a hopeless place. It must have been all over my face. I thank him of course but I hope the company takes a moment a recognize the asset he is. We live in a fast angry world and for him to step outside himself shows the character of this man. I didn't get his name but find him and bless him.

BEST DIRTY RICE I HAVE EATEN IN AUSTIN!!!! Every bite reminds me of back home in New Orleans. Seriously! Not only that but the owner , along with his staff, never forget a face . Awesome service, delicious meal and more than enough food for the price. I was there for an early lunch and a late dinner today with a midnight cup of the dirty rice put aside. Much Appreciation!

Heard that golden chick was really good, so I was surprised to see a well stock counter of chicken and sides ready for purchase when I went to see for myself. The food was excellent and fresh. I will go back to that location. Oh, and the restaurant area and counter is really clean and neat. It’s a very well run restaurant.

Not always on the menu, but when they have it, the shrimp is excellent. Still the best tenders, too.
