Friday's Fried Chicken

Great food at a great price!We ordered fried chicken and sides for dinner after leaving the Shiner Brewery.My gizzard dinner was very tasty. Awesome breading and seasoning on the gizzards. The lady who took my order brought extra white gravy for dipping. We had mashed potatoes, green beans and mac & cheese for sides, but the chicken was the best. The pies and cookies in the glass counters looked delicious, but we didn't try them.

Great people, great pies, fantastic catfish, fried chicken is always good!Probably the best food in Shiner!

My partner and I love this place! We go here almost every Friday! If your in the drive through you will probably wait a good while but the food is pretty good! They're wings are outstanding and beautifully breaded.

Food is good desserts are awesome But the employees omy scary mouthsA young lady with a headset on took my order in the counter and was extremely upset because the other cashier was busy so she proceeded in using cus and bad words to whoever was on her headphones all while her rolling her eyes at me when I asked for banana pudding

Good Fried chicken and really good chicken fried steak sandwich. If I lived closer, I would try everything! Very Friendly staff! Nice desserts too but only for to-go because the food portions are so huge there isn't enough room to have it all at once :)

Our Monday Evening at Friday's: A review from an out-of-towner (Settle in and grab you glasses if you need them)Immediately upon walking into this fine establishment we felt right at home. The atmosphere and vintage/kitsch artistic imagery (common throughout Shiner), coupled with the wonderful food smells, were pleasantly overwhelming. We were welcomed by Nedra (AKA Nini), who kindly guided us out-of-towners through their menu. We ordered the Cock and Bull sandwich with fries, an order of boneless spicy chicken nuggets (I forget what they called them), and a separate order of onion rings to stay, as well as an order of gizzards for the road. Nini offered to hold off on the gizzards so we could take fresh ones with us. After a bit of social banter, we sat down and took in the surroundings. I love the color of the tables and felt like we were in the Nighthawks painting. Nini was so accommodating and playful, offering different types of sauces for our various foods (my favorite of which was the spicy ranch, but they also had brown and white gravy). Upon receiving our food, we opened the Cock and Bull (featuring both beef and fried chicken patties) to add some fries and onion rings (see pictures) . Nini then offered to have the kitchen cut this in half for us to make it more manageable. "Everything was delicious!" is an understatement. "Delectable" even falls short. The onions rings were perfect, large but crispy so as not to be overwhelmingly onion-y. I could go on and on about the food. We were so impressed by the establishment (kitschy and immaculate), and the food, and the service, that I asked to meet the manager (Ms. Lisa, who asked me to just call her Lisa). Lisa indulged my questions and compliments, and took the time to talk to me about the history of the place and the current owners. I also asked to speak to the cook, Mike, who (unlike me) was a man of few words but graciously accepted the compliments and handshake that I had to offer. He did state that he loves to hear such expressions of appreciation. As we were nearing the end of our meal, Nini asked if we were ready for the gizzards to go into the fryer. She asked what kind of gravy we wanted (which I've never had gravy with gizzards before) but I couldn't decide, so she gave us both and some more spicy ranch since I was such a fan. Let me tell you, that box of gizzards was overflowing - so much so that I had to share them later on (see my next review re: Shiner on Sixth). While we waited for our gizzards, Nini talked to us some more and even said that she didn't want us to leave (so sweet)! I asked about their soda, called STUBBORN. Nini offered us a sample and I immediately regretted having gotten water. This soda actually inspired a series of photos that I'm titling STUBBORN, featuring my beautiful wife - the first of which you'll see here and were all taken that night into the following morning. The only other regret I have, other than getting water instead of soda was not meeting the back of the kitchen staff. I think it was just one guy, but he seemed very busy and I didn't want to intrude further. Just in case you didn't catch it, this team must've been destined to work together. Lisa, Mike, Nini (LMN), and they all have four letters with two consonants and two vowels. I thought that was at least a little serendipitous. My recommendation? Add this stop to your itinerary for your next Shiner trip. And make sure to wear loose pants. Last bit: This place is a home run's distance from Spoetzl brewery. Also, I thought I got a picture of their menu board to update it, but I didn't. The scoop is that they also sell beer here.

I don't come here as often as I would like to but it's worth the trip every time. The food is delicious. I always have trouble reading the menu online so I've added my own pictures. Hopefully they will help.

Fantastic staff and manager. We love this place. Don't underestimate its food. The gals working here are so friendly and so fast. Never a disappointment or unhappy tastebud here. We go here quite regularly and it has added to our happy and comfy lives here in Shiner. Great Chicken fried steak, solid burgers, and pies are tasty!Always a good choice!

used to be good but pricy under original owner. Now iT's trash. Chicken strips are processed parts( cmon you're a chicken joint, not McDonald's. ) You kinda get tired of hearing " we're out of that right now." Food is cold and desserts are old and stale. Only reason they're still open is lack of options. I imagine visitors to Shiner are awful disappointed to find the legendary Friday's has fallen this far. Locals know it's awful.

I always go to Fridays when I want the best fresh fried chicken and fresh deliscious deserts. Great service and friendly staff! I give them 5 stars
