Pluckers Wing Bar

We make wings for people who know the difference: The difference between fresh and frozen; between hand crafted sauce recipes and something squeezed through an industrial tube; between layering on flavor instead of trying to cover it up.

Very cool wings place. Much more than wings with hamburgers and chicken sandwiches . Lots of good appetizers like fried pickles . Cheech & Chong Chicken Sandwich very good with a little heat.

Sheila

An Austin staple. I had to live next to it and smell the delicious smells emanating from here. Do yourself a favor and order the bakers gold wings with a side of waffle fries .

Rawad Al-awar

One of the few places worth cheating on my diet for. Bakers gold rules them all. And I am pretty sure Pluckers has a proprietary Ranch recipe because I haven't tasted one quite like theirs

Heather G

Best (and most popular) sauces: bakers gold, spicy ranch , lemon pepper , medium, and teriyaki . Great new sauces: hallelujah and spicy lemon pepper . (Chicken sandwich also ranked #1 by Austin Chronicle)

Jeannette L.

Just a heads up - the Buffalo Mild sauce is still pretty spicy . Still delicious!!

David Colunga

I didn't leave my waitress a tip, so I guess I'll leave one here...just kidding! This restaurant is the best restaurant in the ATX and the best wings I've ever had!

If you can, ask for Chelsea as your server. She is an angel. Warriors attempting the "Fire in the Hole" challenge must know, the journey is hotter and more grueling than a trip to Mordor.

Kyle James

Holy macaroni w strawberry chutney is a must. Try the sweet tea or the Batman (alcoholic ).

Sonia Joshani

Taylor Jesmore

Thursdays are the best night to drink up here! $2 margs , tecate , Jose cuervo. $4 Mex martinis and $2.50 dosxx, corona, negra modelo and modelo especial . Plus beer pong @ 9 w/ $1.50 domestic pints! :)

Make a pluckers club card because you get free stuff if you bring some friends and they order two entrees!

If you're brave enough to embarrass yourself and all your friends with the Wall of Flame challenge, those 25 Fire in the Hole wings are going to burn. Remember: no pain, no fame.

Fried pickles and Baker's Gold tossed Monster wings ????????

Cynthia Villarreal

Become a Pluckers member! Really worth it!

Austin Powell

The wings are average. The big mug beers are Pluckers only redeeming qualities. Go to Wingzup instead on 41. Much better wings for the same price. Also, you won't have to wait hours for a seat.

Brandon B-staff

Dr. Pepper sauce is the way to go!

Antuan Egeaux

Go to pluckers and in less than 2 hours you'll be shitting out barbecue sauce #wings ???? ????⚡️
