    Somehow my first time at Pluckers - it was pretty busy and a little loud - but service was good and also quick. Their lunch special for $13 of 8 wings plus fries was great! I got spicy garlic parm and mild - both flavors were solid. Overall good bang for buck I'd say!

    Came to Pluckers for lunch and the ambience wasn't bad, honestly the emptiest I've ever seen a Pluckers. Our server was pretty good so no complaints there, but when we first walked in nobody greeted us at all. We were standing there for a while and the staff at the bar definitely saw us but didn't say anything like "hey just a minute." My husband even turned to me and asked if I just wanted to leave, but I was really craving the fried cheese because I've been in a cheese mood lately. We got two soft drinks and the fried cheese blocks which were fine. Not as good as Big City Wings but they're huge and worth the money if you just want to eat cheese. My husband got his usual 10-15 piece wings and I normally do the same, but I didn't feel like getting my hands dirty today so I ordered the boneless wings basket. That was a big mistake. I'm not sure who their vendor is or if they check the meat before battering and frying it, but I regret not opening them up at the restaurant. I ended up just eating my tater tots and getting full, which was fine since the portions are big and I planned to eat the wings later. When I reheated them tonight I used a plastic fork and knife to cut them into little pieces because it's almost bedtime and I didn't want to get messy. Thank goodness I did because I wasn't even looking closely, just dipping pieces into blue cheese while watching TikTok, and I bit into something that did NOT feel like chicken. It tasted weird and kind of rancid. I looked down and saw what looked like a cyst in the chicken strip. I'm honestly horrified. I spit it out immediately. I love blue cheese so for me to react like that was crazy. I'm so disappointed in this location. Pluckers is known for big portions but these boneless pieces were literally the size of whole chicken breasts and I'm thinking they use a lower quality vendor or don't cut the chicken down enough to catch stuff like this. Between the lack of greeting when we walked in and then finding that in my food, this whole experience was just unfortunate. I'm still grossed out writing this at 9 pm. I'm giving it two stars for our friendly server, but I am grosssssed out. Booooo

    We came to Pluckers on a Thursday night at 9:15 PM and this place had a wait for inside seating. We opted for outdoor seating on the patio to get seated faster. Pro tip, if you are coming to this Pluckers, you can get in line on the Yelp app before you arrive. We are Pluckers Club members and the Fried Pickles was the free appetizer for members. Service: service was a little slow because they had one server on each side of the patio seating. Our server tried to be as attentive as possible but we had to ask for refills and flag him down for the check once we were done. Food: we got the fried pickles which were very good. They came out piping hot and crispy with a side of ranch. They are fried as spears and not pickle chips so that is a big difference between these fried pickles and other restaurants we've been to. We had the boneless wings basket and were able to get two wing flavors for the 4 tenders. This basket comes with a side and a side of ranch or blue cheese. The tenders in this basket are massive so this is the most bang for your buck if you are looking for a lot of food. The chicken bites basket comes with chicken nugget like pieces and you can pick your sauce flavor. The Mac and cheese here is actually very good. I would give it an 8/10. The bone in wings here are also very good and fried well each time. Pluckers may have some of my favorite sauce choices. Parking: parking at the Pluckers on Shepherd is tough because the parking lot is small and it is very busy once dinner starts. You can park across the street along the street but those streets are also really tight. Just be mindful of this when you come to this location. Overall, this place is still one of our favorite Pluckers to come to because of the central location and good food. Expect to wait a little for your table at peak hours but also expect good chicken wings!

    Came to Pluckers with some friends to watch the final football game that determined the Superbowl picks. We came in about 15 mins before the game started and were seated immediately. Tehya was our server and she was super sweet. Since I was the first one to arrive, just caught on pretty quickly that I'd be waiting for a few people, so said she'd grab my drink order, and give me some time. As each of our party arrived, she was quick to greet us, and bring out more waters. I hadn't been to Pluckers in years, so I had an idea of what I wanted, but Tehya was great at explaining the rewards program to each of us, so we all signed up, which comes with a free appetizer! So we went family style on some apps, we tried the mozzarella sticks, fried pickels, fried mac and cheese and taternachos. I am a sucker for all things mozzarella, so that I'd have to say was my most fave. The taternachos were stacked sky high, and were filled with ALL the ingredients, so good!! The seasonings they put on the fried options, are all good, and flavors are on point. After chowing down on apps, we then placed our order. We knew with the game being on, and how crowded they were, that it would be a while, and we were in no rush. Tehya kept coming by to check on us, keep us updated, and keep our drinks full. She was on it. When the wings came out, it was game on, they were soooooo good. Hot, fresh, the way I ordered, and right on time! It was raining pretty hard this day in Houston, so when the tv's lost signal, or the volume went out, the manager would play music to keep the vibe going, and would walk around checking in on all the tables. For as busy of a day as it was, they were prepared, and we had a great time!

    Randy is doing a great job here but let me tell you what as soon as I walked in we waited quite a while as the lady was taking a photo order to go however, you saw several employees made eye contact with us and just ignore us. Someone could've sat us down Then we wait for service. Randy comes by and addresses our concerns and he's top-notch and make sure we're taken care of . After that, there's a lady in training and we don't even get silverware, they overcharge us so I had to correct the bill. They bring out a Philly cheesesteak with no cheese. It was a big letdown, but I'll say what Randy is doing his best. he's doing a great job, but the staff really needs to step it up here. No one is paying attention. Everyone has their head down. No one is looking up to see if anyone needs anything. Guys you really need to work on your customer service and overall operations here. Things to work on ASAP. If you got people sitting at the host stand sit them down, and then when they get sat down, don't let them sit there and wait, Send a waiter to address them and take a drink order right away. Make sure they have silverware. Make sure they have their refills. Make sure the bill is right. Guys you gotta get it together here when I reviewed this place seven years ago it was a five star review. After today, I had to drop it down to a three.

    Frozen food with a bland taste would've did better by buying chicken at Kroger H-E-B. The service was slow, of course.

    Hi all. Does anyone know who does the valet for this location? I went this past weekend, had my vehicles valeted, and one of their workers stole my gun.

    I just searched the reviews for "valet" and pulled a few up who had issues with the valet as well. There's one review written by Nancy B that mentioned her having to contact the company. Maybe you can message her and ask her the name of it. I hope… Read more

I stopped in on a Friday evening for a night cap. The bar is a pretty decent size and they have their own parking lot. They have a large patio out front and there was plenty of seating indoors as well. It's a sports bar so there were a lot of TVs throughout. They also have arcade games including Skee Ball and Pop-A-Shot. The menu had beer, wine, and cider, but they do have a full bar. I didn't see any specialty cocktails on the menu so I just asked the bartender, Marc to make me a gin based cocktail. Marc came up with his version of a Corpse Reviver.
