Gossip Shack GRAND AVE

Food was amazing! The fried waffle tasted just like a funnel cake 🧇 and the chicken tenders were perfect. Lost a star for not having any water and the lobby had little to no air circulation.(Also recommend the lobster Mac,chicken wings, and dirty rice)

Finally got out to the Gossip Shack to try their chicken wings and they did not disappoint. The only things that could’ve been better are the texture of the waffle, maybe unavoidable since it’s put inside of the to-go container underneath everything else and I guess the steam makes the waffle all soft and floppy it loses its crisp. Also, it’s not real maple syrup with the waffle. I ordered “THE BOMB” flavor wings which is savory/sweet not sure how to describe it but it lived up to its name it is the bomb. I love good onion rings and these are some delicious soft-crunchy battered thick slices of onion. I took a peek at the order before my drive home and was a little underwhelmed at the portion given the price so I was hoping that the quality and flavor would be on point and it certainly is. I’ll be going back to try out more wing flavors in the future!!

This was my first time trying Gossip Shack, and I was seriously impressed. The wings were super flavorful, crispy, and juicy—definitely lived up to the hype. I loved the variety of flavors, and the seasoning was on point. The staff was friendly and helpful with recommendations, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back to try more flavors!

First time here and I got the chicken with the dirty rice and some lemonade. Customer service was on point. I got the spicy Kenya flavor , it is very tolerable it isn’t overbearing with spice so if you like spicy food you will like them. Chicken was cooked and seasoned perfectly , dirty rice was also a hit. Nothing to fancy just good dirty rice like grandma a make. While writing this review , my girl said “this the type of shit you close your eyes and eat” she had the fish , shrimp , fries , and hush puppies. I don’t even like hush puppies but I enjoyed theirs. Egg rolls were also fire. Not from out here but would try again.

Ordered for the first time tonight and the wings are way too big. I ordered honey hot and there was no honey hot flavor on them. They aren’t saucy at all. They are full of straight up oil. The dirty rice is good and spicy but the wings are an absolute no.

New to TX so we are always exploring the many restaurants. My husband found this place and we decided to give it a try. Drove about 20 minutes around 1pm on a Tuesday. Not busy at all, but they had several online orders ahead of us. Greeted right as we came in. She asked if we had ever been there before, we said no and she proceeded to describe the food options. She said a lot because there are a lot of options for flavors . We decided on the 6 wing combo, I got dirty rice and my husband got fries. I got garlic parmasean and jerk, my husband got jalepeno CPR and he couldn't remember the other. We also got a waffle on the side and he got banana pudding. The wait was about 20min but All of the food was good! Fresh and flavorful! The cost was typical for what we got. The atmosphere was great, nice chill RandB playing on this day. We will go back! Thanks Gossip!

First time trying and I was not disappointed! The wings, dirty rice, & egg rolls are super good. The best wings in Austin for sure! The wing flavors are endless I’ll definitely be back to try more.

I stopped by Gossip Shack Wings and got the 4-piece wings with the flavors “Bust Down” and “CPR”, both were fire! The wings were super fresh, had a nice batter, and the crunch was on point. Shoutout to Nancy, Malachi, and Jaydon for being amazing. They answered all my questions and were super helpful and friendly. Great service and even better wings. I’ll definitely be back!

Food was amazing. Service was good always on time. Customer service is great. The food is fresh hot & crispy the cooker (ken) great worker & great service

Everything , Amazing !!! Highly recommend. Gives you a homey feeling and great customer service

My son and I stopped at this little shop after deciding it sounded better than our original plan. We were greeted by a lovely young lady who walked us through the menu and helped us decide what we wanted. I got three strips and waffle. I got honey garlic strips,and plenty of in-house made ranch dressing. When the food arrived, the smell made my mouth start watering. The chicken strips were huge, well-seasoned, and tender. Combined with the ranch dressing, it was incredible. The waffle, while not crisp, had a savory/sweet flavor. I was only able to eat half of my food, so I brought it home for my husband. My son got the monte cristo. Delicious! We both had a glass of peach-mango lemonade. Delightful! The only thing that could affect our positive experience is that it was quite toasty in the building. I had a fan in my purse that we set up and it made all the difference in our comfort level. We will definitely be revisiting Gossip Shack 2.

Okay so I found the secret!!! You gotta order the wings regular and get the sauces on the side to control the saltiness!! The waffle was TRASH!! I was throughly pissed off for wasting this man's money on that. It was NOT fried, no butter or powdered sugar Although I ordered through DoorDash the service was awesome! I called in with a million questions about the many different flavors and the young lady that answered the phone was very patient and willing to help. This is definitely my favorite wing spot in Austin (when I'm not looking for Korean fried chicken)

Have to give this place another visit as hadn't visited in a few years (too busy and pricey). Food quality was always top notch in both taste and variety. I'll report on my latest visit soon.

If you don't hit up Gossip Shack, you're missing out. The wings with bustdown sauce and fried pickles are delicious. But LET ME TELL YOU, that banana pudding is everything.

Heard about this place through some clients and had to try it out. They sent me to a good spot. I ordered the 6 wings with waffle and a side of fries. I went for the wings specifically and they didn't disappoint. I got the garlic Parmesan and garlic hot. Both had great flavor. The fries were really good too. Only complaint is the cold and tough waffle. I tried to eat that first thinking it'd be nice and warm. Not even close. As for the staff they were great. Super helpful and even over heard them helping another first timer. Let him taste test the sauce before he chose. I'd recommend the wings for sure! And I'll definitely be coming back to try it again. They have a lot of wing flavors to choose from.

Dropped in for a togo order! Had this place a few months ago -- loved it then and love it now! I'm a sweet and savory type of person, so I LOVE the Herdy Bird. Venturing out for something new, I ordered 3 Sweet Hell Wings. They're spicy but not in an overbearing way. The sauce pulls everything together so well. Those Sweet Hell Wing's definitely got the hell part right because they're hot!!! The dry heat just really accentuates the spice with an air of sweetness. Ambiance is personable. It's more known for the food than the friendliness. Wait time for food is not long if it's not busy but if it is, wait time and response time from the front counter might be long. I think it's worth the wait! ps. tried the rumble jumble-- it kind of tastes like blueberry syrup meets chicken ‍

The food and drinks were absolutely incredible 10/10!! I had the three-piece chicken and waffle Herdy Bird, and it did not disappoint. The service was amazing everyone was so helpful and sweet. The interior was the cutest thing ever!!! They have fun games around to keep you entertained while you wait, a photo wall and the music truly touches the soul and sets the mood. I highly recommend this place and will most definitely be coming back! Thank you Gossip Shack!

Best wings in greater Austin area; Cajun Parmesan. The wings were hot, crispy, flavorful, and juicy. My only complaint on the first visit was that I didn't get a larger order. Now I have to share with the wife!

Update: there is sometimes a boneless option. That's good! However, I've noticed a few times I've tried to order ahead and they do not have boneless as a choice. Additionally there are times when their ranch is not homemade which is a deal breaker for me. Otherwise, the employees are always very sweet and they're clearly working hard.

Best wings I've had. Loved it! The employees were helpful and it felt like we were welcomed into their home

Gossip Shack was soo good! 9.8/10!!! Got it pretty late night and still such fresh chicken! Preferred the wings over the tenders but would go back for both! Loved both sauces (bustdown on the wings, CPR on the tenders). The Mac is made fresh daily, since we went so late I probably wouldn't get that late night. So many sauce flavors and different options! The service was great, the girls were super helpful with explaining the menu and checking in on our food. Great ambiance too with the music and games. Such a vibe and chill spot with good food!

This wasn't my first time coming to Gossip Shack, however the previous time I came they were having issues that evening in getting orders out--waited one hour before finally leaving. That being said, I decided to try my luck again since I was in the area. The staff were very nice and greeted me right when I entered. I ordered food to go, which was a mistake on my end. My 30 minute drive back to Manor definitely impacted the quality of the food (I hope). By the time I got home my fries were very soggy and flimsy, and the wings I ordered--lemon pepper and Parmesan--were a little chewy. Flavors were definitely there, but the food wasn't the same when needing to be reheated and all. I don't recommend takeout if you live further than Round Rock or past Parmer Ln going South. I'll take the blame for how the food ended up tasting, so I'll definitely update this review if I'm able to eat at the restaurant or nearby and my assumptions are correct. Will be back when I'm in the area again.

Lived down the street from this place a few years and finally was in the mood for some wings so stopped finally to give them a try. Did a to go order. First off was greeted very kindly and given some great recommendations since it was my first time. Came out in about 15 min. Not long at all in my book. Means everything was fresh made. Sat down at home and ate the wings. And will say didn't disappoint at all. Exactly what I was craving. Got the buffalo lemon pepper and the honey garlic. Both great choices. And great size wings. Would recommend to anyone. Much love

Gossip shack is an all time classic in central Texas with fried delicacies seasoned to perfection. The operation is family run and has friendly staff, we ordered online and waited around but it was well worth it fresh out of the grease. Enjoyed the catfish and shrimp meal, and really loved the wings fried to perfection with the Cajun lemon pepper. They have so many flavors to choose from you can't go wrong. The Cajun Parmesan's ranch (CPR) and bbq bustdown also were stellar!

The food was definitely worth the hype. The inside is small and hot I would recommend taking the food to go.

This was my first time visiting. The owner was in and noticed right away it was our first time in. He walked us through the menu. The food was hot and fresh when we received it. I hate we didn't capture pictures but we tried the fish, wings, shrimp, dirty rice and fried Oreos. Everything was well seasoned and really flavorful. Oh and the vibe was bomb, 90s RnB makes everything better. Would def come back!!

Visiting from Charlotte, in town for Afrotech but staying near by. After looking for chicken wings this place looked flavorful and so I ordered online for pick up. I ordered fried fish, a waffle, lemon pepper garlic wings and fries. Food was ready when I arrived and everything was flavorful. I enjoyed the taste of the fish it had great flavor. The wings were great too. I was quite full so are my waffle later and after warming up it was great too. May stop by again before I leave but great work.

Best customer service. Wings fire Waffles fire fries amazing Key lime pie was amazing.

Best freaking wings J over had in my life! I also tried the banana pudding and the lemonade. So delicious!

I can comfortably and confidently say these are the best wings in town! All their food is great, great vibe, friendly staff. Their wings though are worth driving across town for.

Food was so good and came out fast. We had a big group and they handled it no problem. Food was so good, got the CPR and Buss Down, and the mint Oreo cheese cake for desert!

Gossip Shack has super friendly staff, the atmosphere was quite chill and relaxing during lunch when we went, and the music selection (90's R&B while we were in there) sounded great coming off a solid sound system. The wings were cooked to order, so you'll need to allow for a good 15 mins. or so for them to fix your food, but the wait will definitely be worth it! The wings came out fried to perfection: crispy on the outside, steaming hot, and dripping with juice. The wings were a good size -- one of my drums looked like the whole front section of a chicken breast almost -- and were cooked very well (and were delicious). The flavors were unique indeed and tasty, and that BUSTDOWN BBQ is not to be missed. It tastes like their own recipe of BBQ sauce and had a nice molasses or cane syrup taste to it. We tried fries and dirty rice (a.k.a. Cajun rice or rice dressing) and were well pleased. I might ask to hold the extra seasoning on the dirty rice next time, since the rice itself was already seasoned very well and was delicious. I am excited to explore more of the menu. We will be back!

For sure the best soul food spot in town! Cajun fried wings are my favorite and the portions and healthy!

Literally the best wings we have ever eaten by far. The flavor, the size, the lemonade was We will definitely be back for more

Dope 5 star wings and onion rings. Dropped a star for ridiculously high prices and extremely confusing flavor options. One sentence or even just a word would go a long way. What the hell is Kenya, WWW, Monte Cristo, Bustdown, GSO, Bomb etc?? Which ones are saucey and which ones are dry rubs? Wouldn't know from the menu. Btw, Bustdown is a wet BBQ sauce and Kenya is a wet hot sauce type. Both are pretty good.

For real.... Great wings and ranch. Great relaxed and sincere vibe. Bigs were massive. 6 piece with fries was way too much food

They advertise waffle fries.. the waffle fries were no where in sight. The kool-aid they have is straight sugar syrup. Drink at your own risk. The wings were okay

The service was excellent. The cashier was very respectful and friendly. Our food was nice, hot and ready upon entering. We ordered fried Oreos on the spot and they came out fast and fresh. They're the best fried Oreos I've ever had!! Love Gossip Shack and we'll continue supporting our small business owner Austinites!

I have been ordering here for a while and the food and customer service is always memorable. Would recommend calling ahead if you are in a rush. My go to is the GSO Tangy and Buffalo Lemon Pepper with a purpleade!

I didn't even get to try the food, i walked in and the two lady's in the back kept staring at me literally telling me to hurry up, they kept laughing and glaring at me acting like i wasn't worth the time. I wanted food, i had a long day at work, i was hungry, its a spot i haven't tried before. When i walked in i wasn't greeted, i wasn't told welcome in. The two ladies were on their phone connected to a bluetooth speaker, which isn't bad in my opinion, but you could tell she was texting cause you could hear the ios text noises (the bubble pops) When i went to the tablet to order, yes it was a tablet, the rude lady in the back said to hurry up cause i got ten minutes, mind you the apple maps and the website says they close at 12 AM. I work the night shift for my job. These ladies are back here dancing and slacking off talking non stop, when i was taking my time to order, they both kept starting at me, and i could hear them loud and clear. " he about to piss me off " " he doing this on purpose" And maybe I was, but genuinely I won't be coming back here, and i don't recommend anyone to as well, i saw four stars and thought it could be a good experience, but now i gotta waste more gas and go somewhere else. I don't ever leave reviews cause i feel like they're pointless, but this was a completely awful experience. I don't blame the owners or the management staff, however they didn't even try, and i recommend these people to be fired.

Real good wings! Love that it's family owned!! I definitely will be back for some more

Food was amazing season well flavors on point great customer service. Everybody was friendly engaging with the guest recommend 10 out of 10.

It was a cold night with rain and all the other places were closed but they opened their doors and gave us fresh warm food, excellente welcoming people

We stopped at this place after a full day of activities and we're not disappointed by the portion sizes or the food. The wings were delicious and my son got the chicken tenders that were also spot on. We dined in and the restaurant had a cute little aesthetic and board games and dominoes to play. The place provides counter service and the person was very friendly and accommodating with anything that we needed as well.

Service was great they greeted me right when i walked in and explained everything on the me u in detail. Very patient and helpful

Wow talk about price gouging and owner greed. Fix your prices. You are selling chicken wings not caviar. I can get a whole roasted chicken for $5 anywhere. Unless you have deep pockets steer clear. Ps all of my chicken was drenched in seasoning. I like seasoning but dang what a wast of time and taste buds

Food was awesome! 10 piece wing half CPR (Cajun Parmesan ranch) and Hot Honey Garlic. Wings are big, juicy, crunchy, and flavorful. They are breaded wings so keep that in mind. Waffle fries were so crunchy and even better with CPR seasoning. Homemade ranch delicious.

Ridiculously slow, good food. Waited an hour for a 6-piece waffle combo. Insane. Second time ordering after last time when they got our order very wrong. Sad considering the potential.

Ashley was great .. food was amazing .. definitely coming back .. wings and fish tasted perfect

It's ok! Lots of sauces and flavors to choose from without any reference or explanation so ordering online was difficult. The wings were really big but definitely not worth the price. The onion rings and egg rolls were just ok. Nothing special. I don't like in the area and there's so many other options for wings so I probably won't be back.

These are legit the best wings I have had in Pflugerville. Get the rumble in the jungle flavoring, and a fried waffle. absolutely delicious.

Since there's no real "wing" places in town other than chains I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately this place ain't it. At almost $3 a wing, these wings should be FULL of flavor, instead they are full of salt and NO FLAVOR! Are they meaty and big? Yes they are! The CPR and Le Ranch were SO SALTY I took one bite and spit it out. The honey garlic was literally just honey and had no garlic taste whatsoever. The dirty rice was bland, tasteless and greasy with the only flavor I could taste is spice! At $35 for 15 wings and a side of rice and a 45 min wait, I will not be returning.

Remarkable food that will make you go back. Visited on a Wednesday afternoon and the wait was only 15 minutes to retrieve our food. Located in a parking lot with ample amount of parking. Upon entering, we were given the option to order online or at the counter. We attempted to order online, but there were too many options and we want the restaurants input. My party consist of two, we ordered a side of regular mac & cheese, the egg rolls and a 10 piece wings. we did not get the Cajun mac & cheese but as you can see, it was very well seasoned. This was plenty of food, we left no . The eggrolls were unique with the dry seasonings on top, but it was our favorite. For the wings we got two different flavors, CRP and the bust down. CRP is their dry seasoning that they are known for, it was good but again... it's super dry so will leave you parched. We kept dipping it in the leftover bustdown sauce which made it so much better. Everything came out hot and you could tell it was freshly made. The chicken was juicy and tender. Overall service was good. She checked in on us to make sure we didn't need anything additional throughout our visit.

I was hyped to find a black owned business yesterday. Called the family and asked what they wanted. We got a 4 piece "JUMBO" wing and fries, 6 piece "JUMBO" wing and fries, A tender meal, side of brisket Mac, potato salad and a order of fries for the little nephew. It smelled amazing and they could t wait to eat. I was disappointed in the size of the "wingette" not wing. There is a difference between the two. Wording means things you know. The 4 piece for the price i paid should have been the whole wing. The food was tasty but not all what we thought. One person said they would go back and the rest said no. It's not worth the $54 we paid oh no it was $60 once i added the potato salad. We probably will continue to make them at home. But happy i got to support a black owned business.

Best wings in Austin! We got the Cajun, garlic Parmesan, lemon pepper and Buffalo. Each flavor hit! We tried the waffle fries as well as waffle...loved the waffle fries more then the waffle. But the waffle was good as well. The business seems very family oriented and Friday nights they have karaoke! We are definitely planning on returning and sharing with everyone we know. The service was welcoming and ambiance fun.

Gossip shack definitely has some of the best wings and great quality meat. The batter is the perfect amount and it doesn't feel super heavy either. Our favorite flavors are the CPR, bussdown bbq and lemon pepper. Wait time can be tricky, can be anywhere between 30 min - 2 hours depending on the time you order.

Great customer service the lady working in the front register was really helpful. Crispy fluffy fries with cajun seasoning on top. Good portions the wings were big and flavorful and they had many options to choose from.
