"The wings at Tommy Want Wingy have developed an almost cult-like following in Austin, with people clamoring for their distinct, frenched chicken wings. There’s no debate about flats vs. drums here—all the wings start as a drumette before being cleaned into a lollipop-like shape with a little bone handle. It makes them easy to eat, which probably comes in handy when you’ve got the munchies after a long night out. There are two locations: one at Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden, the other at Barton Springs Saloon on South Lamar." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"The chicken lollipops at all three locations of the Tommy Boy-inspired trailer arrive alongside sauces like spicy pineapple and Holy Schnikes. There’s this location at Cosmic Coffee in the Dawson neighborhood, one on South First, and the other at Barton Springs Saloon. Takeout orders can be placed online; host sites typically feature indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The frenched chicken wings at Tommy Want Wingy have developed an almost cult-like following in Austin. There’s no debate about flats vs drums here—all the wings start as a drumette before being cleaned into a lollipop-like shape with a tiny bone handle. There are a few locations in town, but we like the one at Cosmic Coffee since it’s a bit removed from the busiest part of South Congress, and it also comes with a great patio to sit on." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"Yes, the Tommy Boy-inspired food truck is best known for its French-cut chicken wing lollipops. But if bones aren’t your thing, you can order tenders. Sauce options include chile limón, spicy pineapple, garlic parmesan, and a super-hot Holy Schnikes flavor. There’s this location at Dawson neighborhood cafe and beer garden Cosmic and one at South Lamar bar Barton Springs Saloon; takeout orders can be placed online; there are typically outdoor and some indoor areas at host sites." - Eric Webb
