July 6 is National Fried Chicken Day and the perfect excuse to dive into a bucket of delicious, hot, fresh fried chicken! Our friends at Top Notch have been cooking up favorite comfort foods since 1971, which means this old-school Austin institution has perfected a menu that keeps customers coming back for tasty dishes served with plenty of happy nostalgia. Sourced by local purveyor East Poultry, delivered fresh weekdays, and marinated for 24 hours, their fried chicken is hand battered with an original house recipe. Place an online order to go for pickup at the vintage drive-in restaurant.

Did you know that Top Notch happens to be located in Austin’s Fried Chicken District?
At 7525 Burnet Road, you’ll find that Top Notch is the original on this stretch of fried chicken hot spots that runs along Burnet Road from West 49th Street to West Anderson Lane. With so many places to find finger-licking chicken fare in one stretch, our pals at Do512 have deservingly dubbed this Austin’s Fried Chicken District. Is it a powerful magnetic poultry drawing these eateries to Burnet? Read Do512’s article about the many restuarants on Burnet Road.
