Well, it's been a hot minute since we've been back to Wingzup (almost ten years!) but Sunday was the day. We actually went to try Chicken Salad Chick, but they were closed, so here we were. 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. read more

I visited Wingzup two months ago for the first time and it was an amazing experience. The wings were cooked perfectly and there were so many good sauces. 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. read more

I had heard so much about the spot that we finally had a chance to go while we were in town! The wings were really good, not just pretty good, but they truly hit the spot. We ordered the golden with lemon pepper and the original in lemon pepper, buffalo, and kfc. All of them were good. I didn't get to stop by and enjoy a drink, however, I will when returning for my next vacation! Everyone seemed to be nice and I was surprised by the space and TV's they had in the dining area. read more

I don't know what happened but I'm disappointed to recommend this place to friends coming in from out of town. The service was spotty, with incorrect orders that when we brought it up, the waitress wanted to argue with us about it. The wings were tiny and dry and too overly sauced. We finished the meal looking like that peanut butter baby meme. Very expensive for what it is. The garlic fries were SWIMMING in oil. Only saving grace is that this is a great place for sports fans. read more

Wingzup has been on my list because I've heard some people rank it as the best wings in Austin! I thought it was really good, but I think calling it the best really just depends on your preference. Because it's really good, but I think I'll always prefer Korean fried chicken over the traditional American style wings. That being said, I love how there are so many different styles of wings! I'm used to just seeing traditional and boneless, so things like country style and golden intrigued me. And I already knew grilled and smoked would be good. We ended up sharing the 15 wing sampler tray with 1) country style wings with jalapeño honey mustard 2) golden style wings with raspberry chipotle BBQ and 3) traditional style with lemon pepper. Part of me wishes the wings were tossed in the sauce, but I also really appreciate being able to taste the wings on their own, as certain styles already have a marinade. As well as being able to mix and match sauces and styles. And ensuring maximum crisp on the wings. I really loved the jalapeño honey mustard. But the lemon pepper and raspberry chipotle bbq were both so flavorful too. The golden style was probably my favorite. I almost always prefer fried chicken over any other kind. And this delivered! The batter was so crispy, but also super light. But country style was a close second. But they were all good and juicy, and decently sized! The workers were all super friendly, and while they didn't check in on you much, it was always easy to flag someone down when you needed to. And I think this place is a lot cheaper than other wing or chicken spots. read more

I've eaten here about three times over the last 10 years and the wings have been consistently great. There's so many flavors and styles it'll take me a while to try them all. On my last visit I ordered the wing sampler with original, golden, and smoked. The smoked ended up being my favorite of those, followed by golden. Jalapeno honey mustard is fire, but the Ghost BBQ was truly fire, and by that I mean waay too spicy for me! I think the third flavor was raspberry chipotle BBQ, which was solid. I've had other flavors in the past but don't remember which ones. Wings were good sized as well. Service though was weird. One female server was hustling nonstop with a great attitude, but the other guys were painfully slow. I had to wait 10 minutes just to be acknowledged for a pickup order. When I finally got my food, the guy didn't even ring me up. I would have gotten away with a free meal but unfortunately I was raised right so I had to track down the busy waitress to pay. Overall, I didn't get friendly vibes here, but hey we don't have to like each other as long as the wings stay good! read more

If you are looking for a place to kick back, eat wings, and drink beer, this place is definitely your vibe. This is nestled behind GNC in the Hancock Crossing Shopping center. When I walked in I noticed a lot of people were just getting off work or on lunch break. I ordered the 10 piece wing, spicy ranch and lemon pepper with garlic parm fries. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time. And I smashed everything. Added bonus you can get your wings smoked or grilled as well. Overall experience, I give it a 4 out of five. I will definitely go back to try the grilled and smoked wings. read more

I'll admit that I overlooked Wingzup for a while as the name sounds similar to a chain, but after seeing a number of recommendations I realized this is a local establishment open for many years, who have won several awards for their wings. Checking them out on NFL Sunday, it's a sports bar with TVs in every direction. The beer selection is quite good, and the simple cocktails are well priced. The wing menu is expansive with six types and over 20 sauces. The reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that I actually wasn't a huge fan of the wings, especially the smoked wings which seemed to clash with the raspberry chipotle BBQ sauce. The golden wings were better, although I'm not really sure what the difference is between golden and original wings, it mentions a marinade? It was also weird that the golden wings were dry with a dipping sauce instead of tossed. I would definitely come back to try other sauces and wing types, because I believe that they may have the best in Austin; it just wasn't necessarily the ones I ordered. read more

OMG, it has been 8 years since I was at Wingzup. My nephew, who was visiting from out of town, called me from Wingzup where they were having a lite snack and asked if I knew Wingzup and before he could hang up the phone, I was walking thru the door.  We had an amazing server, her service was beyond measure. I ordered 10 grilled bone-in wings, 5 tossed in teriyaki sauce and 5 tossed in the Korean sweet chili sauce. There was Ghost pepper sauce on the side that was used very sparingly. It was a great lite snack but there was a need to order an Old Fashioned, for digestive purposes only.  I am definitely not going to wait another 8 years to return and checkout more of the items that I was eyeballin' on the menu and it will be during Happy Hour, indubitably . read more

Came here for a friends birthday and they took great care of our large group. (We made a reservations/called in advance). I ordered the smoked wings which were really awesome.

Wingzup - Smoked jalapeño ranch wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is a pretty solid choice for wings. I would choose this over your typical chains simply for the fact that they offer grilled, smoked, and golden wings. The classic fries are elite and I would not recommend upgrading to waffle fries. My friends' waffle fries were definitely not as good as the classic. I got the grilled wings combo with mango habanero and spicy lemon pepper. Both flavors were good. A few of my wings were a touch dry/overcooked, but the majority of them were juicy and flavorful. Server was nice and brought us samples of some of the wing sauces we were curious about. read more

This place is definitely one of my top favorite wings place! I've been meaning to come here for months now and finally went this weekend and food was GREAT. They were actually voted for best wings in Austin, so definitely worth checking them out. You walk in and you sit wherever you want, server will come up to your table and take your order (keep in mind) they do get busy and may take a little while to get your food order, but hey it's a sports bar so watch a game while you wait patiently :) There is TVs all around and the staff is really nice. Pretty calm the night I went but great place to watch sports! The margarita swirl was gooood, pretty strong (not that strong) but enough for a slight buzz. & you can't go wrong with a mug of beer The fried pickled spears 5/5, nice and juicy, great fried crisp to them. The cheese fries 4.5/5, IMO I like a saucy cheese rather than shredded BUT these were really good! The waffle fries were really good tbh. The wings 'n burger basket with teriyaki wings 4.5/5, the burger lacked a bit of flavor and does not come with pickles. Only the cheese :/ The 10 piece (mild and spicy lemon pepper) 5/5, the dry rub took me by surprise. Such a good combo, never had a good spicy lemon pepper rub. Ranch dressing 5/5, it's up there with the wingstop ranch if you ask me not as liquid-y though bit more thick. Overall, I WILL BE BACK. This place is amazing, can't believe I passed it so many times and never went in. read more

The wings here are delicious! There is a lot to try and we really enjoyed the Golden wings with and without the various sauces. We appreciated our server Jax who was incredibly communicative and explained the menu process well. She was helpful with any questions we had and subsequently made sure to tip her well. It wasn't very busy when we went as well and the food was served pretty quickly. I found the paper towel roll at the table handy also. Will definitely return. read more

Once you walk in you sit yourself. Which is okay. I'd prefer a host. But not terrible. Service was amazing since we got greeted on by a nice young man. Drinks Are also great. Best part was the food itself. Wings are perfectly fried. I can tell they recycle the oil pretty frequently. Way better than pluckers. If you like the kind sport vibes this is totally your place. I could do without the loud tvs. But that's just my preference. 10/10 read more

These were some of the best wings I've ever had. Completely tossed in sauce and a great size for the price. This is an easy place for takeout or to watch sports as they have TVs everywhere. My only issue was the online ordering wasn't working when I tried to order so I had to call in. Once there, they forgot to enter it so I had to wait extra. However, they apologized and offered a discount to make up for the issue which we greatly appreciated. I will definitely be back again! read more

Wings were pretty good!! We ordered online for take out and it was packed when I went to pick it up which is a good sign. Service was good, I was taken care of almost immediately and other employees made sure I had everything I needed while I waited. Realized our order was wrong when I got home but it seems more a system issue between what prints on the receipt and what is selected online rather than human error. The waffle fries are delish and so is the mystery dark sauce we got (i think it's Jamaican jerk???). I just think I would still choose a regular chain over this for now but would be willing to try it again since take out isn't the best depiction. read more

Don't walk, Run! The best wings in Austin since I've been here. Started with the Veggie Poutine, bomb. Then order the 10 wings basket and our server Marlene threw in a slider to tease what the burger would taste like. Did I mention it was honey butter biscuit. Wings were half smoke lemon pepper and honey bbq. 10/10 with a side of large sweet tea. Everything was great even the coin game in the back. Can't wait to come back. See you in two days. read more

We went hoping for the "best wings in austin" as advertised, and left quite disappointed. These wings are ok but nothing special at all. The flavors we got were pretty average tasting and the wings were not crispy in any way. Sides were fine. This is pretty meh overall, there are so many better wings in austin (including the 2 popular chains). read more

I really love this place, their fried mushrooms are to die for! Well priced, better than pluckers.

I entered and knew this would become my go to when I am craving wings immediately. It was still before 5 o clock and I know it would be slow. The bar was half-full with 20 something year olds and I couldn't wait to get my hands on some poutine (I've been craving it for over a year now). I ordered that with an Italian frozen margarita. Perfect combo. The fried pickles came out and Paul kept me hydrated and well fed. The wings were actually insane -- for a 5 piece, I haven't gotten that much meat without stretchy fat ever in my life. Until today I thought I gave up on smoked wings. AJ was a delight to talk to and I cannot wait to return and hang out with the cool patrons and staff alike. God bless this 15yr old establishment! read more

Best wings in Austin!!! They the best fries as well! Great service and great pricing for the food!

If you are going to order wings from here, you have to get the Golden. They are so much better than their normal wings. They're crispy and juicy. We ordered takeout and had to sauce them ourselves which was okay but the lemon pepper sauce was more buttery than lemon peppery. The blue cheese is really good but the ranch is meh. We've only ordered takeout here so I can't speak on the table service. The ambiance is your typical sports bar. The inside isn't very big. FYI- They don't show UFC PPV here, at least not when we came but you can always call them just to confirm. read more

Amazing experience. I live close by to this location, but I have never really been there before. The service was really good, our server was knowledgeable about the menu and was very attentive the entire time we were there. The atmosphere was really nice, we went in after 9 PM, and there was a lot of commotion over a game on the TV, it's a nice spot to come with friends. I ordered the 10 wing combo, with jalapeño ranch and spicy lemon pepper, the spicy lemon pepper was bomb. My favorite thing that I ordered. The fried pickles were very delicious too, as were the fries. Definitely coming back, their wings are super crispy and well-done and they have a lot of options as to how you can get them prepared . read more

Great customer service, and wings are top tier! Didn't get to try the ghost challenge maybe next time!

The absolute BEST WINGZ ever! They won Austin's best for a reason. The service is always good but because it's a little place that gets PACKED , the wait varies. But I swear the host & waitresses always remember me & sometimes stop by to say HI. I love them. The games are always on, the vibe is super fun, friendly & totally Austin. I have NEVER been a wing eater. I don't even like pluckers. So that says a lot... THE ONLY WINGZ I will eat! read more

I had been here a few times but had never ordered the wings. The burgers, poutine, and fried stuff were great. Today I got the boneless wings, which were very disappointing. They were overcooked to the point of being chewy. If this place has been voted best wings in Austin, either they have gone way downhill or were having a very off night. These wings are so bad that they're going in the trash. Update: I am downgrading from two stars to one. I sent a message to the restaurant last week, but they have not responded. This place is at best hit-or-miss, and I won't take the chance if they are unwilling to respond to failures. read more

We ate here on a Saturday night and we are just sad we don't have a Wingzup local to us! We had the jalapeño ranch wings, buffalo ranch, and garlic parm. All were delicious!! Great wing sizes, fast service, and chill/fun atmosphere. Would highly recommend and will gladly come back next time we are in Austin! read more

Charles. Read this as a glowing review about him. He was extremely attentive to us Texas newcomers and truly made us feel welcomed. I highly recommend asking for him and tipping him well. He took his time explaining the menu to us and did everything in his power to make us feel comfortable. I was always told to provide constructive criticism in between positive feedback. So, I'll save this area to say, I would've given this restaurant five stars if all of the staff members were half as amazing as Charles. Our first interaction with Cody was awful. He was very rude and dismissive. All I have to say is steer clear of him. If he was the only person we interacted with, we would've walked away. This highly recommended, heavily awarded, establishment deserves the representation and Cody isn't it. He told us to our face that he would not serve us after waiting patiently for 20 minutes to have a seat and only served Hispanic patrons moving forward. Hopefully he'll be replaced sooner than later by someone with better character. So, shoot your shot, the GM seems like a cool guy. But let's talk food! The mozzarella sticks were yummy. Charles recommended the waffle fries and they were yummy too. I was craving a burger so my husband and I split one. The wings are for sure the star of the show. We did the 3 wing/3 sauce sampler. It was amazing. We had our wings Original and Country. We had gogujang, jalapeño ranch, and golden. They were all delicious. Highly recommended. read more
