The Chicken Express Dripping Springs permanently closed in January, the business announced in a Facebook post Jan. 10.

The details

Chicken Express operated in the area off Hwy. 290, serving fish and chicken piece combos, livers and gizzards. The menu also featured fried okra, fries and more.

In December 2023, local Eric Hamilton took ownership of the Dripping Springs location and held a ribbon cutting ceremony in April 2024 to mark the transition, as previously reported by Community Impact. The business did not disclose in their Facebook post the reason behind the closure.

Going forward


Texas-based Chicken Express is still operating in locations across the Austin area, including locations in Austin, Round Rock, Kyle and Lakeway.
