Dipping Springs Tender

I just needed a quick snack the other day and wasn't feeling fried chicken. So to my surprise, they had Mac n cheese that slapped. Not literally, they'd be outta business if they did. But the flavors and pasta were on point. And not to mention the cheesy goodness. If you're making REAL Mac n cheese there is always a cheesy top and they delivered here. Crunchy cheese with a cheese pull. That's a win in my book. So even if you're not feeling polo then go for the cheese pull.Update: I actually had the tenders and they were not tender at all. Unfortunately, I received their fried tenders when I asked for "naked" but was already home so was stuck. The tender was over cooked and dry dry. I don't know if the TX sweltering heat + radiant heat entombed in the truck got to the cooking process but it wasn't pleasant, sadly. I would've eaten those Tyson chicken nuggets out of the bag instead at this point. I wish their namesake item was as delicious as it seems. But in my case, looks were deceiving. The Mac n cheese review is the saving Grace.

Really tasty stuff here! Love that the menu is simple yet has options to make your meal unique. I was so close to getting the naked tenders but got the og breaded tenders instead so I could get a better feel for this place. Tenders were HUGE, hot, and crispy! Fries were classic and plentiful. Loved the red curry sauce and love sauce. The ancho avocado ranch was definitely more of an aioli than a ranch but im a ranch fanatic so maybe it just wasn't what I expected. But we were overall impressed with all of the sauces we tried. 3 for $1 is an awesome deal for sauces too.They had a ton of orders so told us it would take about 20 min. Ended up taking about 13, so not a bad wait. I think they should consider texting through their ordering platform when your food is ready so you don't have to stay too close by. Staff was so friendly! We had a great time.

Convenient food truck right outside ABP and brewery. Unfortunately the chicken tenders tasted reheated and tough to chew. Maybe it just depends on the day.

Don't let the name of this delicious food truck fool ya! Grab these delicious panko-crusted tendies while having a drink at Friends and Allies Brewing. I was able to place an order with a QR code and within fifteen minutes, I grabbed my hot and fresh 2 piece tenders with waffle fries. Y'all the crunch was 100% there and I loved the combo meal. I have to say it was the right amount of food without feeling super full.You can choose your choice of dipping sauce but I had to go with their bbq sauce. What's slick about Dipping Springs Tender is how well they've perfected it. They also have vegetarian versions with a tofu-style breaded tender.

You'd be forgiven for dreading the drive all the way out to Dripping Springs to get your hands on food from Dipping Springs Tender Co., but this trailer is actually parked in East Austin, conveniently located in the Eastciders Taproom parking lot, no less. Their kettle chip-crusted Tempeh Tenders stand out for their resoundingly crisp coating and soft, subtly nutty interior. The combination of old-school ingredients and new-school technique creates a perfectly balanced wholesome junk food experience; healthy enough that you don't need to justify the indulgence, but decadent enough that it satisfies those fast food cravings. Pair it with one of almost a dozen vegan dipping sauce options, and check out the collard greens to get in a serving of vegetables with you meal.

The chicken is wayyy too overbrined :( it has the texture and look of ham so it's dryyyyy. I LOVE the dredge which is the sad part! Please brine them less!

Fast food, but options to make it healthy and accommodating to dietary choices!! Loved the gluten free naked tenders and omg the bean salad !! It was the perfect combo of protein and carbs that I needed to fuel up after a long day of work! So yummy I didn't get to snap a pic haha.

Dry and not able to choke down. Yeah, sure they are large sized tenders, but not juicy at all!! The only good sauce is the Love sauce. All overs seem fake and overrated! I so wanted to Love Sauce you......

Dipping Springs serves up the best fried chicken and mac and cheese in Austin--hands down! If you're on the East Side and craving a quick bite, this is the spot to visit. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and their wide variety of unique and mouthwatering dipping sauces is a game-changer. My partner and I crave this place every day!The chicken is fried to golden perfection, and the specials (like the weekend bagels) are as creative as they are delicious. Don't sleep on the waffle fries or the elote cakes--they're both must-tries. Dipping Springs is the perfect blend of comfort food and culinary creativity. Highly recommend!

Was working right around the corner from here and saw it was there so I walked over to grab some lunch. Man was very friendly and quick with getting my order out. i was worried that 2 tenders weren't gonna be enough but the size of the tenders were great and he even hooked me up with a 3rd one since it was my first time there. Would definitely Eat here again if I'm in the area again.
