Tumble 22 has grown from a single food trailer to five restaurants in less than four years, blazing a trail with their devotion to all-natural, Texas-raised chicken that is hand-breaded and tumbled tw…
This was the best meal that has been delivered from this location. Everything was seasoned and delicious. Even the chicken breast was juicy and seasoned to the bone and that is always hard to do. Whoever was cooking tonight 12/21/24 needs to get a raise and be cooking ALL THE TIME.

Tumble 22 didn’t come to play. It came to fry, spice, and conquer.
Let’s start with the O.G. Chicken Sandwich . It’s called “OG” for a reason—this thing slaps. Perfectly crispy chicken, pillowy bun, pickles doing God’s work... it's the kind of sandwich that makes you pause mid-bite and stare into the distance like you just saw the meaning of life.
The Lil' Chicken Sandwich , which is basically the OG’s adorable little sibling. Still packs a punch, just in a more snackable, less "unhinged jaw like a snake" way.
Now, the broccoli salad and coleslaw? Thought I was just ordering veggies to feel balanced—but surprise! There’s a sneaky kick in there. Like they were blessed by the spice fairy when nobody was looking. Refreshing and feisty.
But let’s talk about the real curveball: the Dirty Mac & Cheese. This dish is just disrespectful—in the best way. Creamy, rich mac gets a glow-up with chunks of fried chicken mixed in. It’s what comfort food eats when it needs comfort. I didn’t need it. I ordered it anyway. No regrets.
Tumble 22 isn’t just another chicken spot—it’s a fried-food fever dream that delivers on heat, flavor, and attitude. Wear stretchy pants and prepare to make some questionable life decisions (like going back the next day).

Chicken is a great meat to work with because it's ordinarially bland which is why so many things taste like chicken, but it offers the cook the opportunity to build unique flavors that taste special, like here at Tumble22. Chicken is a southern delicacy that easily takes on the flavors of its seasonings and the character of its cooking. That's why we have so many great chicken places here in Cedar Park. If you make bland chicken you probably flunked cooking school. I think that's what happened to the former Zaxby's.
I ordered the Tumble22 whole fried chicken and it totally reminded me of grandma's home cooking. And it made my house smell good. These are large pieces cooked dark and well seasoned. Remember when Covid chicken looked like a Cornish hen? Tumble22 is so over that. Some places send out lightly fried yellow tiny bits of chicken that look and taste rushed out of the kitchen. Tumble22 chicken is dark, crunchy, warm, juicy and so tasty, and you can get it seasoned anywhere between mild and extra hot. Pieces are extra large so bring plenty of appetite.
A single order of fries is two helpings and they are seasoned perfectly. You won't need to add anything to these and you might not even use catsup.
I ordered some chicken bits and they are large chunks of white meat and very tasty, although not fried as dark as the bone in chicken. Get the ranch sauce with these.
I ordered a buttermilk (custard) pie and pecan pie. Both were large slices that are great for sharing. I wasn't as happy with the pecan pie but that's a matter of taste on my part so don't let my opinion scare you off. The buttermilk pie was great! The pie crust is cooked fully on the bottom which is nice attention to detail. A lot of places mess that up.
No shop is perfect. I didn't like the potato salad very much as the potatoes were grainy and over-cooked and the flavor a bit too much on the pickle and onion for me. The macaroni and cheese are probably best for the kids. I really like mac & cheese and some shops do a great job on this, but maybe order that elsewhere if you really want it.

We have been getting Chicken from Lucy's. No more. I was looking for a place that has good sides along with good chicken. WHOA!!! So good I ordered 2 nights in a row. 1/4 White is DA BOMB and the sides are delicious and satisfying in a great homestyle way, and if you like spicy, this is your place. So good. So very, very satisfying.

Tumble 22 has recently become my go-to hot fried chicken spot. I've always had a positive experience up until now. My bites arrived in a very dirty opened box with the sauces negligently thrown onto the top of the opened box. Also, the coating is off and doesn't taste like it used to, the meat is dry on the inside and I have some concerns over the freshness. It seems refried or repurposed from maybe grilled meat and then coated and deep fried? And what are those weirdly cut pieces with missing coating? Either way, I lost my appetite and will reconsider ordering from here again.
