Spicy Boys Fried Chicken

The service and food were deliciously exceptional. If you haven't tried it yet, you need to change that - now! 😁 I had the five piece drizzled with a honey chili oil and savory spicy tots. Give Spicy Boys some love and business; they need to stay around. Delectable flavor, great service, and not too expensive... just go for it - hurry !

One thing I know is good food. I’m new to Austin and am hooked on Spicy Boys food. I was introduced by a coworker, but I’ve grown to love them and now have to have it at least once a week. The Tingly Nuggs are amazing if you like spicy and the chicken sandwich OG is incredible. Flavors are sensational to the tongue pallet, with amazing service from the cooks. Nick has been one of my favorites at this particular location and he makes the food with love every single time! If you want a true Austin classic for food, do not hesitate to come by and ask for Nick!

Tried out the Spicy Boys today, not sure where the spicy comes from though, more like savory sweet boys. I should have tried their chicken sandwiches but I wanted to give their signature dish and other options a try. Tried the Nugs and they were not bad but if you don't like the combo of sweet with heat it can be hit or miss. My friend did not like it, it was OK for me. The tater tots had nice flavor but was pretty salty. The Panang Curry with Roti was a bit of a miss. The roti was made really well, but the Curry was watery and sweet, not good at all. What i liked was the Bone in fried chicken. The chickens thighs were a bit small but the flavor and crunchy are there. There is some sweet from the maple but just a little bit that I didn't mind it. I do prefer to eat my chicken with rice since it's Pan-Asian fusion, the rice would offset the sweetness for me. Overall, the prices and depending on what you get are good. I would definitely come back to try the chicken sandwichs or have the bone in chicken again, but I may need to bring my own rice & hot sauce .

I was in Texas on a business trip and was craving some fried chicken. I found this place, and it was absolutely amazing! The first time I tried it, it was unforgettable. Before leaving Texas, I promised myself I had to come back and try it again. The chicken is incredibly delicious, perfectly seasoned, and the meat is just so tender and flavorful. Highly recommended!

This chicken is by far the best I’ve had since moving to Austin hands down! It was hot juicy and the skin had perfect crunch. The flavor was amazing and the ratio of chicken to price was a steal. Not to mention Sign bar where the truck is located is a vibe on its own. Will for sure be back.

been wanting to try this place for so long! definitely did not disappoint! i got the wings and omg… so nice and crunchy and juicy 🙏 i also got the spicy tater tots and they were amazing! i’ve never had a place that serves spicy tots before but i’d definitely order it again! will say that the tots are a little small in portion so next time i wont be sharing it lol!

Best chicken in Austin! Always comes out quick and tastes like heaven. Obsessed with the Thai basil ranch and I also HIGHLY recommend the maple sauce with the chicken. Always a treat to come by!

Spicy Boys have the best fried chicken in town!! I’ve already tried the one at St. Elmo and decide to give the Metric one a try - 100% worth the visit! We ordered Sizchuan nuggets (the spiciest version) + bone-in chicken + roti w. green curry. Everything was absolutely delicious and the lady was super helpful when we asked for recommendations. This spot is right next to Fairweather Cider Co. and they share the parking space + indoor and outdoor seatings. Will definitely be coming back!!

The service and food were deliciously exceptional. Give it a try spicy boys Quick service

Fried chicken sandwich with a twist! I had the OG Chicken Sandwich and it was delicious. My husband and I shared some tots and those were really good too.(yes the sandwich and the tots are separate options) The sandwich was perfect as is- that's right, it doesn't need a sauce! My only comment was the stringy...ah! The papaya relish. I couldn't find the flavor of it, didn't know what it was, so it was more an "in the way" ingredient for me with every bite. The parking is not great, you can park at the location IF you hang out at the brewery. (Which we ended up doing) This place is a bit out of the way for us, but I'd be interested in coming back a checking out other locations and other food items!

I have passed by the Spicy Boys food truck several times before, one day upon having some fried chicken cravings I decided to give them a try. What a pleasant surprise, the flavor offered here makes it an easy stand out contender amongst most other fried chicken joints you can find in Austin. Atmosphere: Food truck type vibe, near a cider bar too so you can get your fill on drinks as well if you'd like. Food: I ended up getting just the chicken sandwich. Even from just that though I can tell the chicken is a stand out. Such a delectable combinations of sweet and savory with a bit of chili and honey. Reasonably priced and a good portion size too. If the chicken in the sandwich is any indication of what their chicken wings are like, I maybe more swayed to try. Service: I did a pick up order, service was pleasant, no complaints. Spicy boys, and even more delicious chicken. Easily worth a visit and then a revisit too.

Stopped by on a rainy weeknight. There were a good number of parking spots, but depending on the attendance at the truck and at Fairweather Cidar bar, it can get filled up. We ordered the fried chicken sandwich, the 5pc fried chicken, tater tots, and the curry & roti. It was raining, so once we ordered at the truck, we went into Fairweather, sat down, and picked up our food later. As we ate in the bar, they had trivia night, so we got some nice entertainment as well. The fried chicken was really good. The chicken was fried perfectly and the meat was so juicy and tender. Nothing gets me more excited when mixing sweet with savory, and the chicken with the sweet chili honey was pure magic. You could put that sweet chili sauce on anything, and I would give you money to eat it. The tater tots were also fried perfectly and the chicken sandwich was pretty solid. The curry in the Curry & Roti was strangely sweet, but I personally didn't mind, because, you know, sugar makes everything great. But definitely not expected at all for a curry to be that sweet. Great food truck with good service and food, and its teamwork with Fairweather makes a pretty great combo.

I ordered the 5 PC Fried Chicken and Classic tator tots and it was so delicious The chicken was crispy even with that awesome sauce. The food was hot and ready for pickup when I arrived at the time it said it would be. I will definitely be trying some other items in the future. There is an area with tables to sit out and eat but it was a bit too warm out for me but could definitely see doing that when it cools off.

This was such a nice surprise. My pictures do not capture the excellence of flavors that this meal encompassed. My favorite part was the roti with curry. I could just eat that over and over again. I didn't need any sauces as I used the curry to dip my tots which were perfectly crisp and slightly spicy. The OG chicken sandwich is like chick fil as exotic cousin that I would much rather spend my free time with. It is pricy for sure so not an everyday eat, but very tasty and worth the visit.

This place is such a creative fusion of the spicy chicken sandwiches you may be familiar with and what I believe to be Thai flavors. I usually get the tingly gai because I like the spicy, mouth numbing sensation of the Szechuan chilis. The spicy pickles and sauce balances out with the spice very well. I also love the tator tots and the sauce it comes with and also love the roti.

The food truck was tucked away in a small plaza with a few parking spaces. There were about three tables outdoors along the building for eating. Heard great things about the fried chicken sandwiches, so I went to try the OG (Original gai!) 10/10! Not too heavy, perfect ratio of chicken, bread and papaya salad (very refreshing). Would definitely come back to try the other sandwiches!

I've been wanting to try this place for a while but I'm never in the area. It's a food truck and there's decent parking. I can imagine it could get crowded but I went at 5pm so there was no line. I had ordered the food online and it was ready when I got there! I ordered the following: Fried chicken - the fried chicken was really good! It was tender and juicy. The flavor had a kick to it but wasn't too spicy where I needed to drink milk after each bite. The skin was crispy and overall it was really delicious! Nugs (tingly Sichuan oil & spicy ranch) - these were boneless but it was still so good! I'm not sure how many I had but it was super crispy and flavorful. Both the chicken nuggets and fried chicken had cilantro toppings on it. I love cilantro so it added a great flavor to it. Wasn't too spicy either! Tater Tots (tingly Sichuan & spicy ranch) - these were nice and crispy. I don't really eat tater tots but these were pretty solid. It wasn't too spicy either. Fried Chicken Sandwich (Hot Gai) - The sandwich looked really good! I didn't have a bite but my friends enjoyed it. They said it tasted like the fried chicken and it wasn't that spicy for

This was hands down one of the greatest and most unique chicken sandwiches I've ever had! I ordered the OG, because I was so intrigued by the idea of papaya salad on a sandwich. I'd never heard of anything like it and I am so glad to say it did not disappoint! First of all, the packaging? Top tier! Second, the sandwich itself? IMMACULATE. I can honestly say it is unlike any chicken sandwich I've ever had. As soon as I saw the Martins potato roll, I already KNEW what time it was! The huge, crispy, juicy, chicken thigh came out PIPING hot and it was the perfect blend of sweet and savory. The Thai basil ranch was an absolute treat. The papaya salad was super crunchy and fresh. It was honestly everything you could dream of in the perfect chicken sandwich! The depth of flavor was out of this world. Thank God I don't live in Austin or else I would seriously be here multiple times a week. 1000000/10 - HIGHLY recommend!

Been a long time since I went to any of the Spicy Boys locations and forgot how great, innovative and delicious their food is. Definitely remember you're signing up for a nap afterwards cause it ain't diet food, but it's worth it every time. Classic nuggets are chunky real chicken mini bites packed with flavor. If you ask nicely, you can get a half and half where you get some with the og seasoning, some with the tingle, etc. Massaman curry dip is very good, but the thai basil ranch is something truly special if you like that classic dip flavors with a twist. Don't skip the tingly sichuan tater tots. Fried perfectly crisp, it's the finest variation of a classic potato product with that numbing sensation. Don't sleep on the sandos or roti either!

Was in the area today so treated myself to my favorite chicken in Austin !! Spicy Boys never misses, they have the kindest employees, get your order out quick, and the food is bomb. I got the spicy nugs and tots. HUGE fan of the Thai basil ranch, highly recommend! The maple sauce with the chicken also is perfect pairing so make sure you get both!!!!

Yum yum yum! Spicy and delicious! The staff was super friendly and helpful! The food got out quick and was piping hot!!! Would definitely recommend!!

Get the 5 piece chicken and roti with panang curry. Absolutely amazing. We drive from houston often and this is my first stop when I get into town. Food is made Hot and fresh EVERY time. Also staff is great!

Run of the mill gentrification-themed food truck. Asian-fusion hot chicken and entrees that don't come with sides or a drink. You eat inside a weird garage that's been converted into to a bar that sells only pre-canned seltzers and has anime on a tv. Portions are more generous than other places like this I've seen though. Chicken was pretty good but not incredible or anything. Tots are not worth the price. If you happen to be nearby or something not a bad option but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here again.

BEST CHICKEN I'VE EVER TRIED IN AUSTIN (Maybe even in my entire life) !!! I ordered Bone-in chicken and its PERFECT! Meat is very juicy, and not too salty - you can taste good chicken meat's its own taste. Its covered with very unique and nice seasoning which is subtly sweet, peppery spicy, crispy, and has good limey hint. It doesn't taste as strong as it looks because meat is not salty. I'm happy that I tried bone-in chicken here. Will def try again. * It can be less crispy if you receive hot chicken and keep them in to-go box right away. Recommend to keep box lid open to keep crispiness.

Food is always amazing. Love the chicken and flavor. Their chicken grease is the best hangover cure after warm pho. I've always gone to the Rainey location, which is fun as it's placed near bars with live music. This location was in a parking lot in front of a drinking spot that's in one of those low rise industrial mass-made buildings. The ambiance was weird. Not because of the location, but the workers. And how they just stared at us from our car, stare when we're looking at the menu, and idk just weird vibes. Love the food tho! Can't get this taste anywhere else

Everything we ordered was amazing! We're usually very picky with how chicken tastes but we find ourselves excited to return! The ambiance of the place was also very nice and relaxing!! The service was quick and friendly. Definitely 10/10 would come again:D

I don't know if I just keep getting unlucky, or if I'm just destined to not ever try spicy boys. However, this is the second time I've tried to go to a location, and there has been no spicy boys present, even went through the gate and around the back of the building.

Well, what I can say is we were taken by the other reviews but ultimately disappointed. The short is it's a decent chicken sandwich but far from being the best I've ever had. The chicken they use was just "okay" but not really a flavorful, tender, fresh chicken breast like I've had at other places. We both had the "OG" sandwich and tater tots. The OG sandwich comes with something that looks a little like onions but it's not and we still aren't sure what that was. It's pretty flavorless so we ended up taking it off. The bun gets soggy quite quickly and you are in for a big mess. Neither one of us finished the entire sandwich. Just too greasy and the bun just falls apart. And the tater tots are just little cubes of grease. Each of us might have had two and that's all we could stomach. They might want to try and air fryer. We had such high hopes for this place but I would not recommend it.

The food is a 5 star. The guys there are a 1 star and need an attitude adjustment. I only go to the other locations now. This spot is cool though because the bar next door is pretty dope and they're a lot friendlier

Legendary chicken. The "hot" was good but not too spicy. Dip your nuggies in the panang. You will not regret it.

Seriously just drop whatever you're doing and go get the wings!!! They were absolutely delicious. It comes with 5 pieces and they are crispy, juicy and super flavorful. I hate that they're only 5 minutes away from my apartment because I could legitimately probably eat them everyday. I also got the tater tots but wasn't overly impressed. Overall 4.5/5. I can't wait to return!!!!!!

Everything is yummy here. The OG chicken sandwich is my go-to. It comes with sweet chili honey, papaya relish, and Thai basil ranch. It's the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. They also have a chicken nugget version that comes with the same chili honey and Thai basil ranch. Both of these are so addicting, the perfect mix of sweet, spicy, crunchy, soft - it's everything you want it to be and more. I also enjoy their yellow curry with roti. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars. I've come here multiple times because their food is fantastic. It's one of my favorite food spots in Austin! Unfortunately they have some persistent issues with getting orders on time. Most recently I scheduled an order for pickup on Thursday at 7:15 pm and didn't get my food until 7:30 pm. It's understandable when it happens once, but this isn't the first time. Be prepared to wait around for your order. The other issue here is parking. Their lot is always full and difficult to get in and out of. The guys at the food truck said that after 6 pm you can park on either of the lots across the street, so I'll probably try that next time.

I'm mad I've lived in Austin this long and never stumbled across this food truck! Went to the Metrix location. Tried the bone-in fried chicken and tingly tots and I was thoroughly impressed by both. Chicken breading was just enough, not greasy, sooooo much flavor that I had to stop myself from eating all 5 pieces in one sitting. The tingly tots had this Sichuan seasoning that was very flavorful, bold, but not too heavy on the spice. Such a great experience and will definitely be back!

What can I say. The OG chicken sandwich was banging! The tots definitely leave a tinge in your mouth. The staff was very friendly & the food was great.

I tried their OG sandwich with a side of spicy pickles, and it was incredibly flavorful. Definitely the best chicken sandwich I've had in a long time, a solid 10/10. The service was excellent; the people working there seem like good people. It's a food truck off Metric -- there are picnic tables available for seating.

Delicious spicy chicken sandwich and best tater tots ever (we got normal & spicy). Y'all - this food truck knows EXACTLY what they are doing with perfect fried chicken with Asian influences. The sauces are so good - spicy ranch, basil ranch, get them all! The guys at the food truck were really chill & kind. I also loved being able to enjoy this food at fairweather cider. Come check it out asap! You won't be disappointed

Flavortown is the best way to describe this place's food! So yumm, amazing flavor, crunchy spicy skin on the outside, soft and juicy meat on the inside. Easily the best chicken place in Austin (yes, better than korean fried chicken and T22, seriously.) Location is kind of weird, not a lot of space.

Pretty legit chicken sandos here! I picked up a sandwich and some tots to-go and very much enjoyed it. The chicken was prepared well-juicy and flavorful. Definitely recommend for a quality fried chicken sando

I don't believe that anyone should sell fried chicken unless they have something special and spicy boy does. Why make fried chicken at home when you can go to Spicy Boys Fried chicken. I can't wait to go back to have more!!!

Obsessed with the nuggets and classic tater tots! The flavors are so good and I love the Thai basil ranch. I find it best to order online and then grab it when it's ready. Parking can be a bit tough if the lot is full.

If you're looking for a spicy and delicious fried chicken sandwich, then this is the place to go! I come here with my coworkers pretty often now and the hot chicken sandwich is our go-to! Make sure you order ahead online if you're going to the metric location because they don't take orders in person. We always pick up our food at the truck and eat at the cider place right in front where there are plenty of tables and chairs. I highly recommend the spicy tots and and chicken sandwich.

Yum!! This might just be my new favorite fried chicken sandwich. Ordered online during lunch and it was ready in about 15 minutes. Parking is a bit tight so it's better to order ahead. Located next to 4th tap so great beer food. Got the hot gai and it had a great kick. Big sized sandwich, could have just ordered that. Has a great spicy sauce, pickles, and Thai basil. Cauliflower nuggets were bomb! I see how some people are vegan now, I could eat those for days. Super large portion, glad I shared them. Can't wait to try the other 2 spice levels. Has given me another reason to go back to 4th tap.

I wish I could have taken a picture of the food but I inhaled it. Easily some of the best chicken/chicken sandwiches I have had. Service was great and the pricing of the food is perfect. They need a rewards system because I will be back and probably go broke.

Y'all, these chicken sandwiches are out of this world good. My wife and I checked out this location while enjoying some delicious ciders. My wife opted for the spicy nuggies that were perfectly crunchy and spicy. I had the spicy chicken sandwich and spicy tots. I'm a sucker for the combination of different spice sensations of spicy ranch with sichuan powder. This is a top-notch chicken sandwich with some legit spice to it. Short and to the point, if you love spice and love chicken, you can't go wrong at any of the Spicy Boys locations.

Phenomenal!!! I've had chicken all across this country and this is one of the most interesting blends of flavor and pure great tasting chicken. Bang for your buck - not hammering you on the price and super affordable! Must try.

I would lay my life down for a Spicy Boys Hot Gai. Love bringing my people from ATX and from out of town here, and was so happy to see Spicy Boys nominated for best food truck recently. Fuck me up spicy boys, any time. Spicy tater tots + spicy ranch is also amazing but dip sparingly. The tingly sandwich is also a lot more tolerable ever since a recent switch in the hotness of the cucumber they use. It actually has flavor instead of just burning a hole in your mouth like it used to. Spicy Boys, you're catering my wedding, my funeral, and everything in between. Ily!!!!

I absolutely LOVE this place, I'm here at least once a week usually and it is some of the best fried chicken nuggs I've ever had! I do always get the same thing the chili honey nuggets, they always come out so juicy and piping hot, the honey chili oil sauce is slightly sweet and mild it's the best thing ever I dream of it. The guys that work in the truck are amazing and so sweet, picking up spicy boys is the best part of my work week :) 10/10 recommend (also you have to get the thai basil ranch)

Spicy Boys have the best fried chicken in town!! I've already tried the one at St. Elmo and decide to give the Metric one a try - 100% worth the visit! We ordered Sizchuan nuggets (the spiciest version) + bone-in chicken + roti w. green curry. Everything was absolutely delicious and the lady was super helpful when we asked for recommendations. This spot is right next to Fairweather Cider Co. and they share the parking space + indoor and outdoor seatings. Will definitely be coming back!!

Absolutely delicious. This was seriously the best fried chicken I've had in a while, and I had no idea what I was in for. Tons of delicious vegan options as well, which my fiancee and I were thrilled with. The food truck is located right outside of Fairweather Cider, you can't miss it. They allow you to order online via a QR code, then they'll call you when it's ready to pick up. Super easy. We ordered the Tingly Gai fried chicken sandwich, the classic cauliflower nugs, and tater tots. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection, to the point where I simply would not shut up about it to anyone within earshot. Do yourself a favor and try this place, you won't regret it.

The humble food truck has become iconic and a major fixture on the culinary scene in recent years. We're well beyond tacos and hot dogs with an amazing variety of chefs and cultures represented in these mobile kitchens. On the way home from running errands the other day, I happened to be in the mood for a chicken sandwich and while there's a ton of fast food options, I wanted something more than just a typical Wendy's or KFC offering. Looking through Yelp, Spicy Boys was nearby and highly rated so I gave it a try. Located not far from Q2 Stadium, Spicy Boys on Metric Boulevard is housed in a nondescript trailer in the parking lot of a local pub (Fairweather Cider Co, a drinkery that bears further exploration) and All Gimmicks Coffee. The Spicy Boys menu is compact and focused on chicken sandwiches and nuggets ensconced in Thai/Asian flavors. We ordered a couple of the OG chicken sandwiches and tater tots. While those were cooked from scratch by Chef Wes, I wandered into the coffee shop to buy some drinks. I've heard that the lavender lemonade is amazing but settled on the plain variety to go with lunch. Back out to the trailer, I picked up my sandwiches and dug in. The chicken was beautifully fried, piping hot and juicy nestled within a deftly seasoned light breading. A spicy honey drizzled over the chicken and paired with the basil ranch dressing, scallions, and papaya relish created an explosion of bright and sweetly harmonious flavor in every bite. The bun was appropriately thin and not bulky so that you could taste the contents instead of a lot of bread. I just absolutely loved the chicken though, so much better than the salty, desiccated hunks of bird flesh you sometimes get at other purveyors (I'm looking at you, Chik-Fil-A). This was the best chicken sandwich I've eaten in a long time. That papaya relish is awesome-I could almost eat a side order of that alone. Tater tots were tasty and what you'd expect, nothing extraordinary, but helped cut the heat a bit from the sandwich. I do like hot foods and the other menu choices give you the option of cranking up the sizzle factor, but I was very satisfied with my selection. I was going to try the key lime dessert but sadly it is no longer on the menu, soon to be replaced by a new item. After my meal I had a few minutes to chat with the chef. Wes manages this Spicy Boys location (there are four in greater Austin, I believe) and is a twelve-year veteran of the culinary industry. He's worked at all levels of food experiences and this one seems to be the most satisfying to him. It sounds like the food truck model allows chefs to have more control over the product and participate in the entrepreneurial side of the business as well, with better compensation than the big restaurants, which are known to have long hours and low pay. Spicy Boys confirms the reason why I love to check out food trucks. You often find incredibly delicious food at reasonable prices. Trucks also give restauranteurs and chefs with a new idea the opportunity to try it out without having to have deep pockets. BTW, you can also order ahead using an app and that's probably a good thing on game days at Q2, when I understand this location gets slammed with orders pretty quickly. Highly recommended.

Great spicy fried chicken for reasonable prices. We tried the bone in fried chicken, which came with mostly drums. Flavor was solid and the dipping sauce was sufficiently flavorful, not too spicy. The hot nugs were my favorite, with good seasoning and pairing well with the sauces. We tried the OG chicken sando and the tingly gai sando. The OG was a bit disappointing, with the papaya salad lacking flavor and the bread very soggy and limp. The tingly gai was a bit better, with more of a punch and the spicy chicken balanced out with the pickles inside, although the bread was sub-par as well. In general, the spice level wasn't anything super high even for the spiciest tingly level. Overall, everything was fairly well seasoned and I would recommend the bone in chicken or the nugs over the chicken sandwiches.

I found this place while taking a detour home from errands. What a great spot for some quick amazing food. There were so many things I wanted to try but since this was my first time I went with somewhat of a safe bet. I got the hot nugs! Let me just say these are not your kids Dino nugs lol. First of all the portion size is crazy big, you could totally share this ( not that you'd want to after tasting them) The seasonings were on point . I loved the hot flavors! Next time I'm trying the Nori panang curry for sure. They have proven they know how to hit the flavor profiles perfectly, I'm sure I will eventually try everything on the menu. Highly recommend! Oh, they have multiple locations around Austin so you can find a spicy boys by you

Off the beaten path a bit, just go, the food is amazing. I will be back again for sure. Got the OG and spicy tots...

i found the best fried chicken I've tasted in Austin! That discovery and a story. I pulled up around closing thinking they might be already closed. Bypassed it had to circle back. Got there and he said he had enough for one more order and I said I'll take it with a papaya salad the guy said he'd fix. Ten minutes later it was ready. And it included not one but two papaya salads! I was going to pay and he brushed it off, comped the whole damn thing! I was gobsmacked! When does that happen these days? But the best part was getting it home and tasting it! Superb hence 5 stars which I'm pretty stingy with!!

Let me tell y'all!!! I don't even like fried chicken & I just fell in love. My boyfriend brought this home on his way from work & he was raving about it so I tried it & I was amazed, crispy, super tasty, & like no other!! This is my first time actually taking time out of my dad to leave a review so that should tell you, you need to try this place out!! The pictures are terrible bc I took them in the moment while my hands were dirty but we cleaned them bones!

The wings and sandwiches are amazing! I recommend the spicy fries along with the spicy pickles as well.

Good very good. The chicken is addictive, the pickles are delicious. The tots are good but there is only so much a person can eat in one sitting. The food is spicy but a good spice that adds to the flavor of the food. It is not hot just for the sake of being hot. The app makes it so easy to order.
