This Tumble 22 is such a great and important part of the Austin dining landscape — delicious, down home comfort food (with heat that can be spiked up at will), a cool, modern industrial chic atmosphere, table service, well-priced adult beverages, comfortable booths, bar seating, and a lovely patio. It works for a quick lunch by yourself, a relaxed dinner with another, and a gathering of family or friends. It even has its own version of a happy hour from 3-6 M-F. The spicy chicken is the star of course. We got ours “hot” — just one click up from mild, but there were several additional steps up the ladder to ghost peppers and beyond. The hot, which is seedless jalapeños, was plenty spicy for us, and the slices of sweet bread and butter pickles helped with cooling. I prefer chicken wings and breasts, and I appreciate the opportunity to pay a reasonable up charge to substitute more breasts on the half chicken dinner. The sides are also done well. Of the six options, we got beans, Cole slaw (really good and thank you for not making it sweet!), and collard greens with lots of bacon. Pies for dessert are displayed in the restaurant entrance. We had the chocolate pecan and the buttermilk and loved both. There were about six or eight craft beers on tap. House wines are available. Over a couple of hours, we enjoyed a 512 Juicy IPA, a house white wine, a house red, and a margarita. Yum. We will be back again and again.

Best nashville hot chicken!! The chicken is always so well fried - crispy but moist inside. I've had the sandwiches, tenders, and the bone-in mixes, and they're all good. Their seasonal menus are always a hit too! I got the dang and cluckin' hot and they weren't too spicy - just the right amount. I'm usually not a mac-n-cheese person but theirs is SO GOOD. Make it dirty and it's even better. Their beans are good too!

Very good and Moist Chicken!! Got the 2 Chicken Tender Combo, and luckily hit Happy Hour to get a side as well. All the food was great and very quick service! Recommend the Hot Honey and BBQ Sauce, would definitely come again whenever I visit here.

This hot chicken hits hard in all the right ways. I got the “Mo’ Hot” spice level, and it brought the heat without killing my taste buds—just enough to make me sweat and smile. 🔥🍗 The chicken? Ridiculously crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Exactly how Nashville-style should be. Fries were perfectly seasoned, and the coleslaw was the cool, crunchy balance I didn’t know I needed. That combo? A 10/10. Casual vibes, quick service, and major flavor. Already planning my return—might even brave the “Stupid Hot” next time.

I’ve been coming to this location for a few years now. Everything is always fresh and delicious. A few coworkers and I usually come in once a month to try whatever wild sandwich concoction they’ve thought up for that month. Even during a busy lunch rush, the weekday service crew are always friendly and provide exceptional service. They also have my favorite pie in town.

Came In for early dinner, 6pm on a Friday. We beat the rush because it got packed after we finished eating. Plenty of seating and parking. We got the 1/2 crispy, spice level mo’ hot. Which isn’t spicy, but it does make your lips tingle. The bread and butter pickles are to die for. Get extra if you’re a pickle person. The Mac and cheese and collards were also very good. 10/10 recommend!

Well seasoned, spicy, and delicious fried chicken! The meat is juicy and perfectly crispy. The chicken is spicy but flavorful at the same time. It isn’t spicy for spiciness sake. The sides are also great. I love their Mac cheese. Be sure to try their desserts. I love their chocolate pecan pie. Note that that the servings are BIG. The service was great. Our server Amanda was amazing. I can’t wait to come back.

Umm I won’t shut up about this place lol Was interested in seeing how it compared to Hattie B’s. It’s not as greasy so right of the bat, I’m a fan. The chicken options are nice and I love the unique sides. But they NEED to STEP UP their French fry game my goodness. Please invest in better fries and it’s a 10/10. Oh and even the drinks were great. An $8 marg?? In 2026? Yes please. Also nice that it’s a sit down restaurant.

Good spot, went there for lunch and got the Southern chicken sandwich with fries. Nice size sandwich and thin tasty fries. Good food, good service, modern-ish type atmosphere.

I went to tumble 22 for the first time today. The service was excellent the price was reasonable and the portions good. The reason they got a three for food was that the chicken tasted like the oil was a little too used. A few too many drops of chicken in it. Other than that pretty good. It's a shame I was so looking forward to it as it was my first time. I returned tonight and the meal was excellent. I ate in the restaurant and service was outstanding. Thank you Kristin.

Service was excellent as always, which is what keeps me coming back. The food, however, was just acceptable this time. I’m used to the Houston locations where everything is made to order and comes out hot and steaming—never a disappointment. At this location, the fries weren’t at the temperature I’m accustomed to, and that was a bit disappointing overall.

One of the most offensively slow kitchens i've ever seen in my life. "Offensively slow" because there are about 8 people who are constantly doing prep, and yet for some reason, their orders still take about 20 minutes longer than they are supposed to. This on top of the fact that , as far as anyone with eyes can tell, all of the food is about ninety percent ready to go. There are literal trays of chicken just sitting there that no one seems to grab from.There's one guy who's constantly dunking chicken into the hot oil to make the chicken spicy, the sides are already made. There is absolutely nothing that should make this order take as long as it does. The time between ordering your food and receiving your food should be about 5 minutes, even on a busy night, and the people behind the bar in the kitchen should be drilled like a ballet. Yet, every time I go I find myself waiting 25 plus minutes to get any food. It feels like the restaurant actively deprioritizes to go orders. But again, all of the prep is done, all anyone needs to do is scoop food into containers and package them up. This doesn't take that long. No restaurant with this many people working should be as slow as it is. Absolutely embarrassing one star.
