Spicy Boys Fried Chicken - St. Elmo

Soooooo good!! I got the sandwich with massaman curry flavors.

The bread is just enough to protect your hands from getting too dirty. Soft brioche(?) type and not thick so it focuses you on the chicken.

The fried chicken -- all thigh meat so extra flavorful, tender, and never dry. So so so much flavor throughout the whole thing. And the chicken was also busting out the sandwich, as you can see from my photo.

And I love the massaman flavor!! Not too spicy but added such a great warmth throughout the eating experience (and after). Absolute genius to add this flavoring to a chicken sandwich.

Food: 4/5 I had the OG sandwich, the tingling tots, and the nuggets. The tots were my favorite because they had a spicy seasoning on them which I never had before. They also came with a Spicy Ranch which was amazing. The sandwich and nuggets were also very good although not super crunchy like I had expected. Going to come here again FOR SURE!

Service: 5/5 The service was super quick and it only took about 7 minutes from the moment I ordered to have my food in hand. The staff was very friendly and made sure we had napkins, sauces, and the right amount of spice in our food before leaving!

Environment: 5/5 You really can't beat a food truck that's built on the side of a brewery... right? Even though parking was a bit rough, we still managed to find a spot close by and there were plenty of picnic tables to sit at outside!

You can find this food truck right outside St. Elmos brewery. There's plenty of patio seating around the area.

3.5 stars rounded to 4 as they had vegan substitutes for some of the items on the menu.

Sandos, i.e. burgers can be ordered with a soybean patty rather than chicken and they also have cauliflower nuggets as a vegetarian substitute.

The burger was quite filling, although a little dry and did not include a side of sauce or ketchup. Papaya salad in the OG burger was refreshing.

Why ever go to Chick-fil-A when you have Spicy Boys? It's 10x better. Service was fast and friendly. The hot gai and og where both delicious with unique flavor profiles. Tots and banana pudding are also a must. When that fried chicken craving hits, this is the spot you want to flock to.

Always delicious and fast. I would love it if they could order gluten free options, but that is my only complaint (more like a wish than a complaint, though).

What a gem of a place! This was such a special treat. Went with friends after a concert and we tried all three levels of spicy chicken sandwiches. They are all tasty just depends on your preference. Their slaw with papaya was a delicious surprise. Their pickles are divine. Their tots are yummy. They also have tingly tots and those will get your mouth tingly. The area is fun to sit and enjoy a drink with your meal but we took ours to go. Service was friendly and food was cooked to order. Worth the wait!

I have been itching to try this place since it opened due to the hype. It did NOT disappoint. Went with some friends so we got to try multiple things:

Fried chicken - top favorite. It was perfectly juicy and the honey with the tiny spicy kick to it was literally perfection. I couldn't think of a change needed if I tried.

Boneless Nugs - we enjoyed sharing these. Since they are smaller, you don't get the same juiciness as the full chicken, but the flavor is still there. These were fun to try the multiple dipping sauces we got.

Fried Chicken Sandwich - the people's favorite. Can't go wrong here.

Tater Tots - we tried both the regular and tingly Sichuan spicy ones. The seasoning was perfect on the regular ones. The spicy ones had so much flavor. Hard to choose which one we enjoyed more.

Spicy pickles - I am a pickle addict and wanted to try these. They were different. Everyone said they were just okay. I would not get them again.

Banana pudding - Not your ordinary pudding at all. It's more of a water gravy consistency which was weird at first. The flavor is very good though and the black crunchy sesame made it truly unique.

Everything was soooo good, I had to come back 3 days later with my partner to get it again. She was just as hooked. Ironically she can't do spicy, but the fried chicken is so good, it did not even bother her. Prices are fair. Since this is a food truck, we took our order to Still Austin to pair it with a flight of whiskey. Beware, the whiskey enhances the spices lol.

The man who took our order was extremely pleasant as well. I live up North so glad to know there is one of 969 Sign Bar or Metric to try next.

Wowww so **** good!! I am not the biggest fan of fried chicken but this place slaps!! Sooo yummy- would totally come back.

Chicken:
Had the classic nugs- aka to die for. Not spicy so I might level up next time. If you're a Texan spice level is none. The ranch is delish, just wish there was more. For the price, there is a lot of chicken. I would love to try more things here, the food was hot and delicious and staff was great! Wait wasn't taking either. Will be back.

This just might be one of my favorite fried chicken places in all of Austin. My friends have been recommending me try for over a year now and I regret not listening to them earlier. Each piece is such a flavor bomb, just spicy enough to add a good amount of flavor without overwhelming the taste buds. The tingly tots were also a hit. I don't think I've ever had a mala sauce like that before.

We ended up going on a very rainy evening. Luckily St. Elmo's had live music indoors so we grabbed a drink and hunkered down inside to enjoy our chicken and music.

3Fs: Fast, fair priced, and fried

Took less than 10 mins to get food
Two chicken sandwich and tots were like $27

The sandwich and tots were decent tasting but i probably will not go again.

Customer service was great tho, and the atmosphere was nice and open in a dusty construction area
