    Came here late in the AM. I was eyeing the BLUE DREAM, and coming from CALI I had to get this (Was a popular choice too). The buffalo sauce on this is blazin! Probably the best buffalo hot sauce chicken I've had. That all AMERICAN hot sauce. I gotta get used to how sour it is! The fried portion was on point. Good crunch, with good sauce = HITTER! Spice level was HOT like Texas heat. No sweat though. The chicken sizes were BIG, but I don't expect nothin small out here. Also the young man was really nice to give food to homeless! God bless.

    Potluck wings are now our absolute go to when craving wings in Austin! Hands down the best you will find in Austin. You may think they are a bit pricey, but we compared the prices to a chain like Pluckers and it's the same. Our 1st time there we were given a few samples. All were great. I say try all the flavors at least once and keep track of which ones you like LOL they are all packed with flavor and huge wing size. The fries...ehh I'll pass, buuuut the wings soooo good! Fav flavors so far are the Loose Cannon and Crack. Check them out!

    The chicken wings are crispy and flavorful. I received a free sample wing to try while I waited for my food. It was hot and fresh. The dry rub was tangy and spicy, a great combination! I got my food to go. The fries were hot, crispy, and seemed to have a similar seasoning on top. They are crinkle-cut fries and were so good. The presentation was good and the portion size is great. The service was amazing. The women that helped me was super friendly and the free sample wing was a nice touch! The restaurant decor is fun and spacious. I can't wait to return and try other wings!

    I highly recommend this place! Everything we tried was delicious, and they have a great variety of both wet and dry wings. The Heat Check wings were excellent but definitely fire , and the Dynamite wings are a great dry option--like Garlic Parmesan with a twist. The service was also top-notch. Service was excellent. The only thing is that they advertised $0.50 wings on Instagram, but they don't tell you that you have to buy a side in order to get 6 wings at that price. The sides are between $10 and $15, so we ended up paying $40-something dollars for 12 wings and 2 sides. I didn't mind paying because the quality of the food was so good, but I think they should specify that rule on the advertisement.

    Loose Cannon wings

    We were pleasantly surprised. The Loose Cannon Wings along with the Crack Wings and Crack Fries were delicious! Great flavor and great crunch. Not to mention the R&B setting the mood. Highly recommend!

    We have been thinking about swinging by the Potluck for some time and we found them on "Too good to go" so we figure today was the day to try them. The staff were super friendly and welcoming when I walked in. The wings were huge and we really enjoyed the flavors. The fry's were great and well seasoned too. We will definitely be back to try all the different flavors they offer.

    We tried the truck potluck, and it was so amazing that we had to go to the actual restaurant!!! Annabell was nothing but amazing!!! we noticed their menu is a little bit different than the truck, but nevertheless it was still amazing!! from service to how clean the places it was awesome all around!!

    The Potluck is a great establishment! The wings flavors are vast and you can always find something you like! Our first wings were served a little soft so the kitchen redid them and they came out perfect! The staff is super friendly and nice! The ambiance is nice with R&B playing I can see this being a younger hang out spot! Overall I will be back!

    Crack. A little bit of everything with zest & lemon. Flavor explosion!

    Wow the wings here are next level. Like made in a genius mad scientist's lab of flavors. All the flavors just explode in your mouth!!

    Loose Cannon

    Food was really good! Wings were huge and stayed crispy even with the sauce. Blue Magic definitely had some kick to it and the fries had good seasoning too :)

    Wings, unlabeled so not sure on flavors

    I'll start by saying that we really enjoyed our wings! There is clearly validity to the talent and passion for their recipes and flavor profiles. However, I must give a full review on my overall experience. First thing we noticed was that the building was undergoing renovations and there was no AC. There was a portion of the front blocked off/covered and there was a portable AC unit in the dining area. There was no menu posted on the wall. So we grabbed a personal menu, but quickly realized that it only listed dry rubs and we were interested in wet wings. The cashier directed us to check the website for the list of flavors. Seemed very unprofessional/ strange, but we figured it out and proceeded to order. I feel like we asked a lot of questions which clearly indicated that if was our first time in. The cashier tried her best to help us out by asking flavor preferences, but did not offer us any samples. But a couple came in after us and they were offered samples by a different cashier. We are not complaining on this, just noticing inconsistency in practices and procedures. We paid $93 for 30 wings, 1 gumbo, 1 peach cobbler, and 4 cups of ranch. That is a lot of money to not recieve standard condiments with your wings. Each ranch cup was half filled and cost $1.50. The wings were so good I know for a fact they could have taken it to the next level with a homemade ranch but I believe it was store bought. When we arrived there was only one table dining in, 2 to go orders ahead of us and a few online pick ups. I'm not sure if they were short staffed but everyone was waiting a while . We waited more than 50 minutes from ordering to walking out of the restaurant. The cashiers apologized for the wait and offered us drinks to go to help ease the tensions. While we enjoyed our wings, nothing was labeled! And it was hard to tell the dry wings apart since they all relatively looked the same with the ranch type seasoning dusted on top. The rest of our order was not good. The gumbo was thin/watery and it was evident that it was not made with a roux. It was also very salty, and only contained sausage and extremely dry chicken. Definitely did not come as pictured with shrimp and rice (which is why we wanted it). We were bummed and tried to enjoy it but had to throw it out because it was too salty to save! I was particularly excited for the peach cobbler! But upon first bite we realized it was undercooked. The dough was raw and inedible. I was heartbroken. We are in the industry, so we understand being short staffed, long waits, etc. I just wish the food we got was actually edible and worth nearly $100 and a 50 minute wait! We won't be returning, but I do recommend that you stop by to get a wing or two!

    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.

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!
