"The Potluck is open until 5am every night, and if you need chicken wings after that hour, maybe consider taking a quick nap. There’s an element of surprise when ordering from this South Austin trailer. While a few options like “pineapple sunrise” or “supreme sriracha” give hints about the flavors, most of the wings have names like “hot girl” or “star dust” with emoji descriptors that only provide vague clues. If you’re OK with a little mystery, tell them what you like—spice level, and wet or dry—then sit back and enjoy your 4am snack." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs

"There’s an element of surprise when you order wings at The Potluck, a late-night trailer in South Austin serving wings, po’boys, and fries. The wings are huge, with a very fine breading that adds a little extra crunch.

My girlfriend turned me out!! Okay if you’re looking for some WINGS this is a go to and they are open late! I am not a dry rub kinda gal but yesssss these flavors are spot on! The crack wings & Donald Trump wings 🔥🔥🔥 oh and the crack fries the seasoning is so good! Such a cute food truck with similar-fast but it is worth the wait.

When we arrived they gave us two crack wings to try, and the crack was the best dry rub we’ve ever had!! We also got the Asian Girl Named Sue Wang, WAP, and Hot girl. They were all so good!! I would come back and get any of these wings again because they were all amazing. The wing size was well worth the cost, and all the food was so hot and fresh! I would probably pass on the fries in the future, but their seasoning was great!

I don’t know how I always forget to give this place a rating. It deserves a million stars if I could give it. I’m from SC and for awhile couldn’t find a good affordable wing place in south Austin. This takes the cake for being very close to what I can get back home. I notice at this location there is one employee most the time. A young attractive guy who is very polite. Sometimes there’s two of them, like tonight. I totally understand this bc it’s a small business. Customers like to hang out outside and complain about wait time. You come here for the good food not super fast service. So crazy to me that people forget how hard it is for 1 person to do not only in person orders but online orders. Anyways, like I said. You go here for quality and I say it’s top tier

we decided to try this gem before heading back to Houston and let me just say IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT.! hands down the ABSOLUTE BEST chicken my husband and I have ever ate. Shae was absolutely the sweet and her customer service was TOP TIER.! she had gave us a sample to try which helped us come to our decision on what to order. this place will be a MUST whenever we’re in Austin. we had ordered 20 HUGE wings in flavors trump, gamer, loose cannon and crack along with some crack fries. EVERY thing was packed with flavor and made fresh to order.!

Amazing wings!! The wings are packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and have just the right amount of crispiness. Great customer service and open 24 hours. Highly recommended!!!

Stopped by this highly rated wing truck for a snack but ended up pleasantly stuffed. The gentleman in the truck gave my boyfriend and I a sample while we waited for our order! Great service! The wings are XL and full of flavor. They have an assortment of dry and wet flavors. I got the Crack and Blue Angel(dry/wet mix) with fries. It came out HOT HOT HOT and so crispy. You don’t need any ranch , (i was embarrassed to even ask for it but my boyfriend just loves ranch). My boyfriend is pretty picky about wings and already said he wants to come back!

I came here at 1am on a Weds/Thurs night shocked that a place this good was open at this hour. The owner showed up and gave me a sample and helped me navigate their bomb menu and I was floored with how delicious it was. It’s gotta be the best wings I’ve ever had in my whole life. I’m hooked and gonna be a regular customer for sure! What a special place/find. So happy I turned my car around to try their food. Can’t recommend a wing place more than this place. And this review is coming from someone that lived in NYC for 17 years and has pretty high standards! Wow!
