Best wings in Austin! Ranch on fire are my favorite also ranch on fire tots with some ranch! Order online, pretty quick wait time. I went on the Wednesday.

Elite chicken wing execution. Cool, chill service. Got 10 wings to go--pleasantly blown away by the flavor, texture and meatiness. Will return.

Could do a much better job and packaging

Very spicy but very good. Would be nice if you had a list spicy buffalo option. LmkBoneless Wings

Spicy ranch wings, sweet chili wings
Steph S.

Really wanted to love these wings, but they were really average. They were dry and the lemon pepper didn't have much flavor. The garlic tenders were so heavily breaded and dry. The garlic parm fries were really good though! The sweet chili wings were better because the sauce helped with the dryness of the wings. Would not come back here, especially for the high price.

Honestly pretty expensive at $12 for 5 wings, but the texture and flavor of the chicken lollipops was great. It has the meatiness of flats but the ease of easy of a drumstick. Got the OG flavor, which was my favorite, Chile Limon, and Spicy Pineapple.

chile lemon flavor, buffalo
Inshal B.

Great place for wings! Highly recommend to try their wings. They are more on the pricey side in my opinion. The service was good, did take 15 min for our wings to come out. We ordered the buffalo hot flavor. The overall taste was great and had a kick to them! Wish the wings were a little more a crispy. The other flavor we got was chile limon. I wouldn't get these again please the flavor wasn't as strong. Overall solid place for wings but pricey in my opinion

Buffalo and Garlic Parm Wings, and Garlic Fries
Poonam P.

I have nothing really to say except that I LOVE TWW! I literally only go to Rainey Street now if I know I'm going to get to eat here. Best time to go when they open for the day or during lunch! I also like the Cosmic location when I just want a chill vibe. I don't do super spicy, but here I tolerate it just for the ranch on fire wings! And you have to get the garlic parm fries and lots of sides of their ranch (cause bring down the heat without taking away the taste you really want!) with every order!

Sweet chili
Mary B.

I went to get a cocktail at Cosmic coffee and found Tommy Want Wingy food truck. . These wings are delicious!!! I got the sweet chili and lemon pepper. Both were delicious and tasty. They look attractive since they make them into a lollipop style, something I hadn't seen. They were quite busy so it took about 20 min to get the food. You order and pay through your phone. This area has plenty of picnic tables. Some shaded and some in the sun. Dog friendly too

OG 4 piece tender and garlic fries
Megan S.

This place has the best wings!! I usually get the 4 piece tenders with the OG sauce with the garlic fries. The fries are never disappointing, they have a crunch. I've also had the garlic tenders which is a dry rub and just as good. Although I love this place and have been here many times, last time I went I got a tender with no chicken, all it had was breading. I will still be returning because it's too good not to but hopefully next time I'll get all the tenders.

Ok so is this place 21 and up? I went there once and my friend and I walked in normally and as we were eating there was a guy who was carding people at the door, so I was like crap we are in here illegally.

It's inside of Lustre Pearl, which is a bar, so you need to be 21 to get in.

Any time I visit Austin. Aside from BBQ, Gus's will always be on my list. Who's gonna hate well…read moreexecuted fried crispy chicken and quality sides. How many places can you say that both main dish and sides are good? Also, for it to be reasonably priced? Ordered the 1/2 chicken plate. Comes with (1)breast, wing, thigh, and leg. Sides were beans and Cole slaw. Ordered a small order of Mac and cheese. Total was ~$26. Whenever my wife and I travel, we usually share plates so we have more room to try other things. 100% enough food for two people to hold you over for a solid meal with out making you take a nap. If you're hungry, that plate it self will absolutely keep you full for the 50% of the day. Staff has always been friendly. Service is generally quick but there can be a line depending upon when you arrive. Pro tip is to order to go if you have a nearby hotel or to door dash. If you eat inside, inside has plenty of tables and chairs. Cafeteria style more or less where you sit what's available. Plenty of staff to lend assistance. Generally people are chill

The other day, I passed by Gus's World Famous Chicken and today I am dining in. Rustic looking…read moreinterior with photos, signs, two tvs, and very crowded at lunch time. I was warmly greeted at the entrance by the gentleman manning the cash register and takeout orders. My server was Hannah C. and she took great care of me and her other customers. She was pleasant, thoughtful, attentive, and had a great personality. She told me about their Saturday special (today only) on fried chicken wings. She was thoughtful in bringing one of those fly fans to my table because I sat in the corner where they seem to congregate. She was a joy (10/10)! I ordered the starter of Fried Green Tomatoes, served with ranch dressing (4/5). I finally got a chance to try it. It had a nice seasoned coating on them. The tomato itself was firm and slightly bitter but I liked them. I ordered the Snacks 2 piece Dark, which includes the chicken & white bread (4/5). The chicken was crunchy, juicy, and had a little heat. YUM! Come check them out. Support your local business.

I ordered an UBerEats from Donkey MO's for the first time because after watching Netflix Korean…read morecooking shows ... the craving of Korean fried wings was real. First time trying Donkey MO's and I was so surprised how good it was... even for take out delivery! I ordered the 10 Wings combo with French fries . The wings was super crispy and still hot! The plain French fries was good but nothing special. It paired well with the wings and to dip it in the wing sauces. Flavors Soy Garlic: super delicious! Highly recommend! and holy donkey : my gawdddddd I died eating this! It was so freaking spicy I couldn't feel my mouth, started sweating immediately, and my stomach was turning. Somehow it was addictive and I was able to eat 2 before surrendering. This wing sauce is definitely for those who love spicy. it's hot! And that is coming from a person that can eat somewhat medium spicy. Do I recommend this place? I definitely want to try this place in person instead of take out. It was really good and I feel the wings were good size and the perfect amount of crispy even being coated with sauce. It's good! I definitely recommend this place ! If take out was great .. I'm sure sitting down at the restaurant and eating will be even greater!

I stopped by Donkey Mo's and ordered the 5-piece jumbo wings with the soy garlic sauce, and let me…read moretell you...these wings were HUGE! The skin was incredibly crispy (just how I like it!) and the soy garlic sauce had a great balance of sweet and savory flavor without being overpowering. They definitely didn't skimp on the size either--5 wings was more than enough! I skipped the sides this time because I wanted to focus on the wings, but their onion rings caught my eye, so I'll definitely be back to give those a try. Now...the only downside was the parking. It looked like the front parking lot had been freshly painted because every parking space was blocked off with cones. Everything appeared dry, so I wasn't sure why the cones were still there. That forced everyone to park in the back, which was already super congested. I mentioned it to the staff, but they didn't seem too concerned. Honestly, if I hadn't been determined to try this place--or if it had been any hotter outside or I hadn't gotten lucky finding a parking spot--I probably would've left. Thankfully, the wings made up for the inconvenience! If they can get the parking situation figured out, this spot will be an even better experience. I'll definitely be back...and next time, those onion rings are coming home with me!

There's a lot of food trucks in Austin. There are a few that I consider above the rest and Spicy…read moreBoys is one of those joints. Spicy Boys has four locations in the Austin area, with probably their most popular at Zilker Brewing. They are a spicy chicken establishment and their spicy chicken comes in different shapes and sizes from bone-in fried chicken, chicken sandwiches, and nuggets. I have only ever ordered their fried chicken sandwich and every time, I have been a fan. I always get their middle option in heat, the Hot Gai, which is sandwiched between the OG and the Tingly Gai. It hits every time. The mayonnaise, the pickles, the perfectly crisp chicken: you can't miss it. As a side, I ALWAYS without fail get their Tater Tots. They are consistently crispy while remaining soft on the inside. Sometimes I will get it seasoned with their Tingly Sichuan, but the heat is sometimes too much. I cannot recommend the tots enough. Spicy Boys is one of those places that is always there for you. They are consistently open and the people making the orders are putting a ton of dedication into making them smack every time. The sandwich alone comes at $9.50 with the tots at $3.50, which seems on par or slightly lower than a typical food truck if my memory serves me right. I recommend giving them a shot whether you are at Spokesman in Pflugerville, St. Elmo Brewing, or Zilker off 6th Street. It's in the upper echelon of food trucks. RIYL: peak chicken sammys

Spicy Boys is one of two food trucks at the Zilker brewery…read more The other truck is a burger truck. Everyone else tells me this is spicy zingy chicken. It just seemed like chicken chicken to me. No big deal. But then I had been drinking Zilker Brewery's own beer. Out of self protection - my body may have turned off its sense of taste To protect me from the worse than mediocre Zilker beer. If the price of protection from Zilker beer was not being able to taste a chicken sandwich, I was definitely ahead of the game.
