I went to this chicken wings joint expecting oh just the typical average chicken wings but boy was I blown away! They offer boneless and bone in chicken wing. Of course, I got both 6 pieces each. They allow you to pick up to 2 flavors per chicken wings order. You can add a dipping sauce for additional 0.50 cent charge. They have plenty of flavors for chicken wings as well as dipping sauces. I tried the halal hot, mexican, honey bbq and buffalo sauce with creamy jalapeño dip. My favorite were halal hot and buffalo sauce. Their chicken wings were sooooo juicy, full of flavor, and have the perfect amount of crunch when you take a bite. Mmmm mmm! Their service was alright. The cashier seemed a bit out of it but the lady who brought us our food was super nice so that made up for the eccentric vibes I felt when I placed my order lol The place is spacious and you can eat with friends or family there. It wasn't too crowded when we went there and was quiet, casual spot. They have a gender neutral bathroom. It was not the cleanest so that turned me off a bit when I went to wash my hands. They do have a spacious parking lot so you will easily find plenty of parking nearby!

This place was awful. I wish I could get a refund for this!! The wings are soggy & taste like fake chicken & I'm pretty sure the fries were microwaved. Would not recommend. Very disappointed! Yuck!

Buffalo chicken wings

WE stumbled across this place accidentally and are so glad we did. My husband and I are always on the search for good halal food and often times it's quite far away, this place was conveniently located near a Starbucks. We ordered 10 pieces of bone in wings, garlic Parmesan and Buffalo. Both were delicious and the jalapeño and garlic sauces were to die for! I don't know how they tweaked the Buffalo sauce but it was so good, only wish they added more as the wings felt a little dry and could have used some sauce on top. We also got two pieces of fried chicken with fries and this was 10/10! Would be happy to come back here as the place had good seating and customer service.

Fries
Shayer S.

Been a year since we last ate here so it's definitely been a while. The spicy fried chicken was made to order so there was a small wait but appreciated how fresh it was. The skin was nicely seasoned and crunchy and the meat moist and tender. It tasted better than I remembered actually! The fries were pretty good too. I switched out the garlic sauce for creamy jalapeno and ranch and and that turned out to be a good choice. The pita given separates Halal Wings from the other fried chicken spots. It really elevates the whole meal to another level. Seems like a hot spot for takeout. Give this place a try!

Halal Hot Sauce
Amanda F.

My husband and I were craving wings and wanted to support a local business. I had been eyeing Halal wings since we moved to this side of town so it was perfect. I had done my research prior to ensure what sauces would be gluten and dairy-free. I have an intolerance and I wanted to make sure my body didn't pay for it later. My husband and I both ordered 6 bone-in wings apiece. I got the Halal hot and he got the curry. Note, the wings are smothered in sauce and the extra sauce tends to fall to the bottom. Once you bring the wings home, flip them over onto the plate to get more of the sauce back onto the wings. Halal hot was a nice good spice. I love spice and don't find most things spicy. The flavor was nice and I had a little glisten of sweat on my face after eating them. My husband's curry wings were just okay. The flavor of the sauce had fallen to the bottom and it was missing on the wings itself. I ended up using his extra wing sauce as a dip later for chips. I would love to try a few other flavors in the future.

To start off, the service here was great! The guy at the register was so kind and patient and we did take a while to decide what to order. We tried several different flavors and the chicken strip plate which was amazing! I'm definitely going back! Clean spot!

original fried chicken, okra and a tortilla
Wayne N.

Let me start off by saying the owner is one of the nicest people I've met in the restaurant business. Local, small business owners are always the best since you can tell they care about the customer experience, check up on you and take care of you during your visit. Lots of smiles too, which is a good reflection of their food :). Normally for fried chicken, I opt for 3 pieces - I find 2 to be a bit too little and 4 to be too much. There's no 3 piece option on the menu but the owner happily whipped it up accordingly for me with a smile. Since it was the first time, I decided to try 2 pieces spicy, 1 piece original since I normally find original chicken at most shops bland, with a side of fried okra. At Halal Wings, dare I say I found the best piece of mild fried chicken in Austin? Halal meat has the saltiness going for it, so it's almost like a natural brine, which translates well in fried chicken world. The chicken is moist, with a perfectly done dry fry - light breading, crispy crust and just enough grease without making you feel bad. The dark meat pieces are large and bronze in color and the light seasoning on the original chicken is almost like a kiss. I really wish I got all my pieces original style since I thought it was exponentially better than the spicy and will definitely do so on the return visits. The spicy is not all that spicy, just a tiny kick so you won't be breaking out in a sweat. The flavor profile is a bit hard to describe though - can't really put my finger on what it is but it's definitely unique. Okra is also well fried and dips well in the garlic sauce. My friend got lemon pepper and original wings with some fries and they looked really good too. The main thing I would advise improvement on is the "pita." It's basically just a tortilla, which I have nothing against but think its a letdown for two reasons: 1) this place is owned by the same awesome folks as Halal Corner, which is one of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants in Austin so I figure getting a real pita would complete the expectations, 2) the tortilla is cold, which does not juxtapose well with the awesome hot fried food. I ended up just skipping the extra carbs but if they warmed up the tortillas on a griddle I don't think I would have minded eating it. The venue is small and cozy, which is similar to many of the restaurants in the area so keep that in mind if you were thinking about bringing a larger group - or just ask for to go and hop to nearby Mueller Park for a picnic. And as for the wait issues in some of the earlier reviews, seems like they got that sorted out as the place was packed tonight and they had to go trays going out the door and we still promptly got our food. Overall Halal Wings is up there with the best chicken shops in Austin and especially at its price point, I'm sure it will have fans for years to come!

Boneless wings and fries
Amira B.

I ordered half lemon pepper & half honey bbq bone in chicken wings, spicy fried chicken and regular chicken tenders. The honey bbq wings were awesome. Great flavor and wings tasted great. (I ordered boneless wings from here in the past and didn't care for them that much). I was really pleased with how the tenders turned out and would have eaten more if I wasn't already full from the wings. The spicy fried chicken didn't taste spicy to me. I thought they were okay but I think most people would like them since they were very crispy and the pieces were huge. Definitely will be trying more wings from here.

All were breaded perfectly and fried to a nice crisp. They maybe a bit on the pricier side, but the quality of the wings easily justifies. Two servings will most probably fill most people. Service: Very friendly service, and of course the staff will geek with you on any Chris Farley movie, because hey that's why we're here right? Overall, I'd recommend easily if you're in the area.

And wow! Did they add, like, 20 more TV screens to the place?? It felt like we were in a war room. A bit much. Our server was a very nice woman who was on top of our table. We got beers (because: wings) and the fried buffalo wings with the korean fried wings. The buffalo ones were not crispy enough, so that was a bummer, but still, fine. We loved the korean fried ones, but they were more just like mini fried chickens as opposed to the traditional korean version (also, we did not appreciate the sticky sauce that it came out with). Our daughter was happy with her chicken nuggets. The only major party foul was the fact that our waffle fries came out cold, so we asked for new ones, and those were definitely not in the fryer long enough and they were scorching. Basically, we got what we were expecting when we came here. So, hope still springs eternal in the world of wings. Three stars, same same.

I returned last Sunday (Super Bowl Sunday) for lunch to see if my good experience was an anomaly or a pattern. The good news is, Wingzup is consistently excellent. I would be remiss if I did not recognize the service at this restaurant. Wingzup sits in the casual market segment for restaurants, but their customer service is on par with fine dining. Stephanie and Vicki helped me out this time and provided my wife and me with wonderful service. This service was in spite of the restaurant cooking over 5,000 wings for takeout for the big game. It was a constant flow of people picking up orders from a few dozen to a few hundred wings. Despite these drop in guests nobody in the dining room ever waited for anything. I was encouraged to try their grilled wings after my Google review. Customers said they are so good...and they did not lie. I got mine naked and got four sauces to dip them in, plus blue cheese. I loved the Sweet Chili and the Habanero Ranch the first time and got them again. Also the medium Buffalo. Stephanie suggested the Mango Habanero and it was on point. One of the best wing spots in the city! Try the pickle chips and the New York Putines. The Jalapeño Poppers are also great.

The restaurant is clean and spacious and you order by scanning a QR code. The waitress was friendly and she brought us water fairly quickly. The garlic Parmesan fries are a must order and they were expertly fried and had a spectacular crunch and texture. The garlic was very balanced and not overwhelming, and they were super generous with the amount of Parmesan. The chicken wings were also equally amazing with a super crunchy, light batter, well seasoned chicken and the sauces were delectable. I really liked the honey garlic Parmesan because it is unique and not something I've had before. The sweet soy was also nicely balanced and paired well with the wings. The Ruma's chicken crispy pops was good, but I wish the pieces of chicken were slightly bigger so that the ratio of batter to chicken would be less overwhelming. The sauce was more sweet than spicy and it would have been better if they added a Mala spice component. My diagnosis: come here for exceptional Korean wings and craveable garlic fries

So, when we proceeded to order that way, she got all flustered and was like, no, no, no you can't do that! Oh, and then when we asked about any of our dishes coming with sides, only *then* did she suggest that we turn it into a combo. So, yeah, welcome to AI generation! (Needless to say, the two kids working were both on their phones a ton the whole time that we were there.) *It was cold outside and the A/C was on, so it was freezing. *Re. the K-Buffalo sauce: nothing very K about it! It was straight buffalo sauce. *Charging for a side of ranch sauce that clearly tasted like it came out of a bottle? Seriously? Lame-o. Other than the above complaints, we actually really liked this place. The vibe is chill and, as aforementioned, we enjoyed most of the food. The dumplings are 100% not homemade, but they toss them in a decent sauce so they can be more palatable (we would skip those). The fries are nice and crispy, and the brussels sprouts are excellent. So, so good, and a decent amount as well. The radishes are the typical ones you get at these joints, and they are a must. As for the main star, the chicken, it was as it should be: with shattering layers of breading and hot meat on the inside. The coating was almost a bit too thick, though. We liked the soy garlic sauce and just wished there was some actual Korean aspect to the buffalo. Prices were consistent with portions, and they do have respectable beers on draft. We have some quibbles, yes, so it's 3 stars for now, but we'll definitely be back because it's close to home and will hopefully have a more overall impressive experience next time.

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
