I don't think it'd be crazy to say these are the best wings I've had in Austin. Pictures don't do the food justice. The woman working today, I'm not sure if she was the owner or not, was so sweet and kept apologizing for the wait. Don't apologize for having business, there's a reason why you're busy!

It could've been done a lot better. It was not up to crispy crunch and juicy standards of let's say Tumble22. I was excited to try a small food truck that was just outside some store I was stopping by. I liked the cashier's easy going vibe and loved that they were able to take the next person's vague order of "chicken and a bunch of spices" in stride. Their menu, albeit full of personality, was a bit hard to parse with all the emojis. Food itself: the fry was a bit too hard even though I ate it fresh in my car (was freezing out). I like that there was plenty of batter but juiciness was a bit lacking. I wouldn't go out of my way for this but down to give a second chance! read more

Takeout had numerous problems with the experience from the beginning: (1.) too long of a wait, others were also waiting (2.) disinterested staff, in the weeds (3.) not enough food for the price ($) (4.) three tiny wings and soggy fries, ick! (5.) food truck atmosphere w/ poor lighting, and loud gas motor running - so loud you couldn't hear the order or the reply (6.) sub-optimal location at Cherry Creek shopping center on Menchaca. The food wasn't very good and not a good value. I will not come back, nor should you! Try the new Raising Cane's at 5601 Brodie if you want fried chicken wings!

First of all, these are hands-down, the best wings we've had in Austin- and we've been through a lot of wings. The gumbo and the red beans and rice were incredible as well! Most, notably, however, is the service... There was some complication with our delivery, which I really believe was the fault of the delivery service, not the Potluck. Ron went out of his way to make sure that we got our food, and even threw in a ton of extras, since it was going to be late . Seriously the most kind and generous person I have ever encountered in a food truck. 100% going back soon! I absolutely recommend the spot!! read more

Man! not the review I wanted to give. I had been following the instagram page for a while and was looking forward to trying the wings. I went on a Cold night tonight 2/21 around 630pm. The place was being run by two teens who were very nice. I placed my order for gumbo (which was not available even though they opened at 5) I also ordered 10 wings and ordered buffalo and loose cannon flavors . My food was ready in 6 minutes which was a red flag. I opened my order and the wings were extremely large and when I bit into them it was soggy and meat was rubbery like they were previously frozen. I was very disappointed and for $20 for 10 wings I feel like I could have got what I wanted from elsewhere. I only was able to stomach 3 wings/10. On a good note flavor was there but the quality of the chicken was not good and they definitely were not fresh being my order was done in 6 minutes. Very disappointed and a waste of money. read more

SOOOOO good! Highly suggest... we were looking for good wings in Austin and struck out everywhere else so didn't have high hopes for this place but they were BOMB. the flavors were so delicious and the chicken quality was amazing. We got the heat check which is basically a traditional Buffalo but pretty spicy. It was fantastic. We also got crack because the guy working there said it was his favorite - did not disappoint. Last flavor we tried was the loose cannon which I loved. read more

It's a family owned restaurant with genuine service that really does focus on customer satisfaction. The seasoned fries make your mouth water, and THE SEASONING on these wings is mind blowing. I have yet to figure out how they come up with so many bomb flavors, but oh my lanta should you try every single one of them. I'll be here early evening or late at night; the food is consistently delicious, the family is consistently warm and welcoming, and I am consistently happy each and every time.

We went here because my son loves wings. Never again. There website states that Wednesday is $.75 wing day. We ordered our wings and realized that the girl did not charge the right price. I went back and asked her and she said that I had to ask for the special or I didn't get it!!! What is this? She refused to credit back the difference. On top of this, halfway through my wings, I noticed they started tasting like soap. That means I've thing... they aren't cooked. Too late though. I've been sick all afternoon.

The batter on the chicken is delicious along with the plethora of sauces and flavors available. We ended up getting the F*ck dem kidz & Sue wang flavors both delicious! The chicken was cooked so well all the way thru and fried to perfection. I would definitely recommend and will eat here again.

I went to see a live band (Honey Made) and they were talking about the best wings in Austin (Potluck) and I knew I had to try. Context: fried wings went from being a childhood favorite food, to my adulthood food adventure mission. Before I left Brooklyn, NY I made it a mission to try every wing spot and rated them. Now that I'm living in Austin, the wing adventure must continue. Potluck's wings are hands down the best thus far. Some of the reviews here surprise me, because I enjoyed every single bite. I got the Hot Girl and Stardust. It was a bit hard to tell the difference but either way they were delicious. CRISPY. FLAVORFUL. Finger licken good. And to top it off, music was poppin and the peeps in the van have the best energy and customer service. read more

I saw on the austineater instagram advertise this food truck and the wings looked bomb AF. So my friend and I wanted to give it a try. Thankfully it's in south austin right down the road from where we live. When we arrived, there was no menu to look at and the girl had ask "what can I get you" like we knew what to order but had no idea since it was our first time and asked if there was a menu. She gave us one but all the wings listed had no description and she had closed the window of the food truck while we ordered. Lol it was a strange first impression. Any way this guy opens up the window up and asked if we had questions, we ordered and he ensured he would provide the sauce on the side. We got lemon pepper wings and something else I can't remember the name but they were both dry rub wings with fries. DAMN THEY WERE SO GOOD! They were juicy, tasty, 5 is enough for one person I'd say. however, they forgot ranch or dipping sauce!!!! Super bummed about that. We should've checked our to go boxes before leaving. We made it work and whipped up some ranch with the leftover seasoning on the wings and made our own. We will definitely be back to try some of the other flavors including the wet wings. Make sure you check your box before leaving!! read more

We ended with an order of the rum cake with vanilla ice cream, which was deliciously decadent. Counting down the days until our next visit at this fun spot. The only negative was the bathroom line -- there are only a few individual bathrooms, so be prepared to wait.

The portions are generous, which means count on bringing a doggie bag home. The flavors are bold, authentic, and the food comes out hot and fresh. Standouts include the wings, fish, oxtails, and their soul food egg rolls. Some of our favorites include the sweet potatoes, greens and grits. While the standout for us is the food, the service is exceptional. The owners, family members and servers are Texas friendly and super kind. It is not uncommon for you to see the owner cleaning tables or mopping. We love their work ethic. Whip My Soul delivers traditional Southern comfort with heart, soul, and consistency. If you're craving satisfying soul food in Austin, this restaurant should be #1on your dining list. The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming.

Rushed home & took a 3 hour afternoon nap. Shaded Tables to enjoy their Delectable Food. Located on side of Exxon Gas Station. Many customers told me to get their Etouffe!
