I wasn’t able to get as many pictures of the establishment as I would have like to but I really loved the layout and cleanliness throughout the restaurant. They had a separate area for to-go and delivery orders which I also thought was nice.
The staff member that checked me in was patient and helpful while answering all of my questions and providing recommendations at my request. Once my food was ready they even walked it out to my table which was a nice touch. Customer service gets an A+!
I ordered the Nashville Hot sandwich (spice level hot) with loaded fries and a salted caramel cookie. The food came out fresh and hot and there was a self serve station to grab condiments and soft drinks.
The food was good, the loaded fries came out with lots of cheese and enough bacon to have bacon in pretty much every bite. I think sour cream and jalapeños would have been a nice addition, I’ll have to see if I can add those modifications on my next visit. The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich seemed like it was missing something flavor wise, but the heat was there. The pickles on the sandwich left me wanting more, it made me wish I’d ordered the fried pickles. After eating all of that food, I was too stuffed to try the Salted Caramel cookie, but I am looking forward to enjoying it as a sweet treat tomorrow .

WoW is all I can say. This place is amazing. The staff is super friendly. The chicken sandwiches are out of the workday good. They are loaded with all the beat toppings, and cooked to perfection. The chicken bites are so good crispy on the outside and juicy kn the inside. I would highly recommend if your in the area stopping by. The owner Nicole was pleasure to conversate with. All around great place.

Daddy’s Chicken Shack for lunch today I was super excited. It’s a bit of a drive, but it’s always worth it to check out a new foodie place I’ve never heard of before.
As soon as I walked in I was greeted with excitement and she told me all about the menu. There was a specialty item that was only at this location which was the 512 burger and it was a must-try most definitely as it’s only at this location.
I’m such a sauce girl and saw there were house-made sauces I chose the Daddy’s sauce & Sriracha mayo, the daddy’s sauce was my favorite out of them both the Sriracha mayo was more like a pickle taste to it I was surprised.
The 512 burger was good but felt like it was missing a bit more flavor which she did mention they were out of the grilled onion that originally goes on it which I’m sure would have made it a lot tastier but the best thing is it’s loaded with real thick bacon, creamy slaw, and BBQ sauce whoosh that was good! The loaded fries were seasoned with nacho cheese and a bacon piece on top giving it that extra flavor.
I’ll be back to bring my boys to try the fingers and bites

Courtesy of Yelp Elite: First off. Cat and Dom, great people. Amazing customer service and personableness. (Pretty sure that’s a word but if it’s not I still mean it :). This is fast casual and has some cool set ups. A dedicated to go door and window, plus the ordering electronic pad to the left of the window. There’s a happy hour for 1/2 price drinks 3-6. You pay for the card and tap it to get the amount you ordered. My son is a fried chicken connoisseur. He liked that the bun was warm and the meat was crispy. It met kid approval with no heat. They do have options for a heat range if you want more. They have board games available and we played Sorry. There’s a bean bag toss available. Pretty family friendly and perfect for anyone wanting a casual night out. Seemed very clean and in a new building. They do have a gf option of grilled chicken on lettuce. The housemade pickles did truly taste like the canned pickles my mom made growing up.

My wife and I stopped by for the first time after work today. We both got the Classic Daddy meal with fries and coleslaw and it was delicious. The batter was great, light and airy. It left us full but not feeling bloated.
Service was great, both the cashier and owner were super friendly and attentive. We also had a few beers using their self-serve machine. The machine requires you to fill up a charge card like you would at a Dave and Busters. At first I was a little hesitant, but after trying it I am sold. It allowed us to try more beers than we normally would without having to buy a whole glass.
Last thing I’ll mention is that the happy hour specials were great. Definitely feel like we got our money’s worth. Will be back!

My family ate lunch here for the first time today. The staff was very patient and kind. They took time to explain the menu to us. We ordered the All American Daddy sandwich (I asked for no slaw) at the number 2 spice level with fried pickles instead of fries. The sandwich was delicious, and the piece of chicken was thick. The fried pickles were very good. My only negative about the pickles is they were too thin. Breading was great. We also ordered popcorn chicken and Nashville fingers without any of the sauce mixes. They were good. The Daddy doing sauce and bbq sauce are homemade and very good. If you have kids don’t like spice, stick with ketchup because the bbq sauce also has a small kick to it. We enjoyed it. A little pricey after tax and tip. For 3 of us it was $47. We’ll definitely be going back.

My family and I have eaten food from Daddy’s numerous times, we’ve NEVER been let down! The chicken sandwiches are amazing, the chicken bites are amazing, the breakfast burrito, amazing, seeing a trend? Everything is really good. Their service is above reproach, exceptional, they are friendly and more than accommodating. I love spicy food, I asked them to make it burn your bottom hot and they did. My daughter picked up our lunch today, and they were great to her. Hard to believe customer service is still alive, at Daddy’s it sure is. They have a happy hour with serve yourself tap beer. There are chicken places popping up all over Leander, Daddy’s is the best. This place is an absolute gem, do yourself a favor and give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Oh man, I wanted this place to be good. I ordered the original chicken sandwich combo. The sandwich was really not that good – the chicken was dry and kind of bland, the slaw looked really old and soggy. I scraped it off because it tasted like wet tissue. The only saving grace were the hot and crunchy French fries. The place does offer beer which is great. I didn’t try the beer so can’t comment on that. Service is good enough and atmosphere is alright. Weird smell as soon as I walked in but the place wasn’t crowded. All in all, I would rather eat at Tumble 22. I’m disappointed as this place is close to where I live.

My kids love chicken places and luckily we now have variety in our area with the addition of Daddy’s! The tenders are so big and we had the medium hot and it was just right.
Service was friendly, prompt and we really love the Daddy’s sauce! We will definitely be back to try more on the menu and appreciate that they do spirit nights for local groups at the schools.
