July 6 is National Fried Chicken Day, so in honor of this momentous occasion, we rounded up a list of the five best places in town to get your chix fix. On the side, we’ve served up the Capital Metro routes to get to each:
Lucy’s Fried Chicken
Lucy’s is an Austin mainstay offering fried chicken and cocktails in a laid-back atmosphere. It may also be the only place in town to get fried chicken spaghetti, so don’t miss it! MetroRapid 801 – 2218 College Avenue
Gus’s Fried Chicken
For a fun night out downtown, start your evening at Gus’s. You’ll find great chicken, a slew of hearty sides and scrumptious Southern pies. Baked beans, slaw and white bread round out each delicious plate. Route 4 – 117 San Jacinto Boulevard
Fixe
It ain’t your grandma’s fried chicken but, if you’re open-minded, try Fixe’s fancy take on this Southern staple. And, don’t miss the delicious Fixe biscuits with whipped butter. Route 4 – 500 W. 5th Street
Foreign & Domestic
Foreign & Domestic offers family-style fried chicken dinners on Monday nights. Each meal includes sides and pie-a-la-mode for dessert, so come hungry. Route 7 – 306 E. 53rd Street
Dai Due
Sunday is tallow-fried chicken night at Dai Due. As part of their supper club menu, you can get half a chicken fried in beef suet (can anyone say indulgent?) with a selection of seasonal sides and dessert. Route 22 – 2406 Manor Road
