Of course, in true good boyfriend fashion, he had to bring some home for me. He ordered the Blue Magic, half wet and half dry. The description says, "Frank Lucas would be proud of the perfect hot wing," not entirely sure who this Frank Lucas is, but my boyfriend agrees: crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Unfortunately, by the time they made it home after a late night, the flavor was still there, but the wings had gone cold and lost that crunch. If you're looking for the usual buffalo, lemon pepper, garlic parmesan, etc., you're not going to find it here.

I fell in love with the jalapeno ranch flavor, so creamy and flavorful. The fries were hot and crispy! It was a little bit of a wait to get our food, but it was worth it!

I never stopped thinking about how good that experience was eating here. I find many places treat spicy bbq 90% bbq 10% hot, but these wings were the perfect 50/50 for me. I had the fortunate opportunity to come back, and my first bite was a blast from the past. I'm sure the recipes change here and there over the years, but to me it tasted just like it did in my 20's. 10/10 experience. Other than that, poutine was delicious, service was good, atmosphere was Austin!

Our total came out to be ~$26, without tip. 5/5 Overall, great service, great food, and great experience! Parking is a bit hard since it's in downtown, but there is a parking garage across from the restaurant and it's only $5 for 0-2 hours, which I think is the best you can find. We also came on a Saturday around 2:30 pm. We got our food pretty quick so you can really just eat for 30 minutes and walk around downtown for a good 1.5 hours before coming back and leaving. We will definitely be back!

THIS PLACE IS LEGIT…read more I was a bit hesitant to visit Gus's because I've seen both positive and negative reviews, and didn't know who to trust. So I took some of the criticism (sides suck EXCEPT for collard greens and okra) into consideration for my order. I arrived at opening, and the restaurant already had a few customers. I got the 3-piece dark meat meal (15.25), and a refillable drink ($3 but you can keep the cup). My meal was ready in under 10 minutes, and could see that everything was freshly made. The hue on the chicken was beautiful --- it's not just a crust, that's some batter on Gus's chicken! The okra and the collards passed the test (DELICIOUS), and I was hoping for the chicken to be as "world famous" as I've heard. THE CHICKEN DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The crunch was undeniable, the slight heat from the marinade was present, and overall flavor was simply...pleasurable. My rule for chicken? Always get the dark meat. I took my souvenir cup with me, but I can finally say I tried Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken --- and it is world famous for good reason!

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!

I got the 10-pc jumbo wings, which allowed me to try 2 flavors. For one of the flavors I got Holy Donkey but I don't feel like the heat was really there. But still overall, tasty chicken! I got some sides to go and they were perfectly fried though I'm a bit sad to see a small side of pickled radish just doesn't come with Korean fried chicken (though you can purchase some but I had already bought 2 sides and didn't want to spend $5 for radish). Overall, the folks working there were friendly, my food was good, and I didn't have to wait too long for my food to go.

Upon entering, I was paired with THEE LOVELIEST SERVER Sanhya, and she was just the best. Ironically, I came on "National Wing Day", so they were running some pretty good specials: $1 Wings (min. 10 wings per order) and $2.50 pints of Dos Equiis. For my sauce, I chose a spicy garlic parmesan (yes, you can mix 2 sauces together) and paired it with dill pickle dusted tater-tots. Wings: they weren't "piping hot " on arrival which was a bit sketchy -- some were even cold to touch (YIKES!). However, most of them were at least a bit warm. Flavor-wise, do I need to go out of my way for wings at Pluckers?? NAH. These wings are decent, but nothing to write home about. Tater Tots came out dill pickle dusted, but they were either fried at a low temperature that they retained oil, or were not properly drained. Either way, they weren't very crunchy, light in color, and all the seasoning was wet and fell off the tots. Overall, unimpressed but still came out somewhat satisfied as I only paid $20 and some change for the whole meal. Not a 3. More like a 3.5. Inside was clean and could probably fit 75pp.

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
