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.

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!

we order carry out~ salad with chicken (not spicy) nuggets was wonderful, could have used additional dressing/sauce tho, really good with feta, various lettuces certainly large enough to share! The chicken sandwiches (3 were ordered, all spicy ) were devoured. Generous in size possibly the bun was larger than needed was the groups comment, but the chicken was tasty, cooked perfectly AND the spice was plentiful Chocolate pecan & Buttermilk pies are worth it and the slices also easily shareable. Never had tried Buttermilk pie but the description of custard took me in and it didn't disappoint & neither did the crust....yummmm The chocolate pecan was ordered by my SIL, looked delicious also, my husband makes this type of pie and it's one of my All Time Favorites. TUMBLE 22, great & we will be baaaaack

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

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.

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!

Chocolate pie and buttermilk pie were amazing. Definitely one of the best buttermilk pie slices I've ever had - loved that it was kind of citrusy! Chocolate pie was way better than expected, I feel like they're usually super mid but the bitterness from the cocoa powder on top offset the sweetness of the actual pie, and the whipped cream wasn't sweetened much so overall very balanced.

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.

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!
