The 15 Best Fried Chicken Sandwiches In Austin

"This downtown restaurant mostly specializes in upscale Southern food, like chicken-fried ribeyes, heritage pork chops, and Gulf seafood chopped salads. But our favorite item might just be their fried chicken sandwich. The toppings here are a little less conventional, but no less appropriate nods to the Southern theme. Kale slaw, sweet-tea pickles, chicken mayo, and sunchoke all accompany an intensely-fried slab of chicken between a benne seed roll. It just works. Everything feels thought out and portioned appropriately. We found ourselves immediately wanting another sandwich after we finished it, but without the requisite stomach capacity to do so.
