BussinBuns - Austin, Texas

First time here, and my initial impressions were—honestly, not great. The area is a bit of a dump, and the server wasn’t particularly engaging. The music was too loud, making it hard to hear when ordering. We got the Bussin' Combo at X-Hot spice level, a mac and cheese for the kiddo, and a drink. There are a few benches to sit at, so we decided to eat there. They text you when the food is ready, which was convenient. While waiting, I noticed it's really popular for pick-up orders—it stayed busy the entire time we were there.

The food took a while, but I don't mind waiting for something freshly prepared. When it finally came, we split everything among the three of us. The mac and cheese initially had spicy seasoning, which wasn’t too spicy for the kiddo. We asked them to renove the seasoning and they kindly replaced it with one without it, which we really appreciated. The mac and cheese was delicious, and the kiddo loved it.

As for the chicken—it was excellent! Fresh halal chicken that was tender and juicy, yet with a crispy outer batter. The seasoning was properly spicy, just how I like it. Honestly, X-Hot was intense, so I wouldn’t go higher next time, but I also wouldn’t go lower either! It definitely cleared out my sinuses with all the tears and water streaming from my eyes and nose.

Despite the initial poor impressions, we really enjoyed our meal and left satisfied. I’d definitely come back, but since they’ve opened a north location closer to us, we’ll be supporting them there instead!

Amazing food. Not too spicy. Served piping hot and was plenty to fill me up. Staff was friendly, I ordered online and picked up. Took a bit of time, even after ordering online. No napkins offered, but I made due. I’d recommend this as a good dinner option to satisfy your spicy cravings.

Bussin' Buns' fried chicken is a game-changer with its crispy, golden perfection and juicy goodness. Every bite is packed with flavor. Excellent spot for spicy fried chicken tenders and sandwiches. Can't wait to come back.

We ordered online super easy and our food was ready pretty close to the estimated time during dinner. The honey packets are a nice touch and amp the flavor of the food up. We loved it and will definitely be back.

I ordered online the Bussin’ Fries with the Mild spice level and I gotta say, pretty darn good!! I will definitely come back! I would love to have more coleslaw and sauce, but there was enough fries and pickles. The chicken was crispy and well seasoned but also juicy!

Instant favorite! The flavors, the portions and the service were perfect. You won't come here for the ambiance, though. There's limited seating outside. The lot itself looks a bit rundown. The food, however, was amazing. We ordered the double buns, and a bussin combo. The chicken was well marinated, with a perfect amount of spices and seasoning with a generous portion of fries and sauce. Their menu has halal chicken.

On July 14th, I finally tried Bussin Bun after many recommendations from friends and family. Luckily, it's not far from where I live. Let me tell you, everything was fantastic! I ordered the sandwich and jumbo tender combo with the hot flavor—it had just the right amount of spice. I can handle spicy food well, so I'd rate it about a 4 out of 10 in terms of heat. I'm definitely planning to go back and try the 'x hot' level next time. Highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't already!
