Best Chicken Wings in Austin Restaurants | Eater Austin

"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; most locations feature indoor and outdoor dining areas." - Nadia Chaudhury

The 8 Best Spots To Eat Near Barton Springs

"The wings at Tommy Want Wingy have developed an intense following in Austin, with people clamoring for the crispy, 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 with a little bone handle. Yes, they make you feel like a giant snacking on drumsticks. But they’re also crispy, well-seasoned, and easy to eat. Find the trailer parked on the patio of Barton Springs Saloon, which is also conveniently an excellent cold, dark, and cheap place to grab a drink. " - nicolai mccrary

Best Chicken Tenders in Austin | Eater Austin

"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

Tommy Want Wingy - Review - Zilker - Austin - The Infatuation

"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." - Nicolai McCrary

Amazing wings, fries and tots! The Buffalo sauce is incredible if you can handle the heat. And if you can’t, the lemon pepper sauce packs excellent flavor without the spice. I always order using the app and have had zero problems with getting my order the way I want it. Every time I pick up my order from the trailer, the people working it are chill and direct. Honestly I cannot say that I have ever had a negative experience ordering from this location (Barton Springs Saloon). A lot of the negative reviews I read on Google seem to be written by people who: A) Do not understand their own spice tolerance, B) Do not FULLY read the menu and instructions that are clearly posted on the restaurant’s website, or C) Are not from Austin and feel uncomfortable with interacting with workers. Overall, Tommy Want Wingy is a choice spot for hot wings if you want a significant step up from Buffalo Wild Wings. If you can’t read menus or are a self-righteous consumer, then perhaps look elsewhere.

South Austin at its core. The atmosphere and energy at this bar/intersection is always electric. Having stellar wings while you enjoy a cold brew, what could be better? Go check it out and tell me I’m wrong.

The wings are always crispy, packed with flavor, and the fries? Absolutely killer. On top of that, the staff is fantastic — friendly, fast, and fun. Huge shoutout to Stefan for going above and beyond. This spot is an instant favorite!

I got food here Tuesday night just before they closed. The wings were excellent, and the sauces were absolutely outstanding! The customer service was fabulous as well. I will definitely be back, and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for great wings.

Wings and sauce were great. 5 wings for $9.50 is absolutely criminal though. All I wanted to do was take down a bunch of wings but had to opt for the 5 wings + fries basket so I could at least be near full (for ~$16 still)…

Easily some of the best wings in ATX! Mind you, if you’re a classic buffalo fan their buffalo sauce is HOT, but sooo tasty. Assuming they make food to order, I’d recommend placing your order then walking next door for a drink while you wait. It’s located conveniently in the heart of south Austin with plenty of places to walk and park. Can’t wait to come back!

Good wings, fries, and tots. Service can be hit or miss. I am personally not the biggest fan of the lollipop style of wings but they are made well. Of the 2 times I’ve gone, one time the wings were a little dry the other time they were perfect.

Best wings in Austin, especially the UG. Fair warning, they do charge a premium, the tenders are terrible, the fries are fantastic and the ranch on fire is indeed insanely spicey.

Challenging review because I planned to try the wings, but this location (Barton Spr) doesn't open til 3pm on any day. So, based solely on the tenders and the tots: The tots are great, four stars! Garlic parm came with an unexpected amount of black pepper, but flavorful and a *great* size for nibbling. Crispy outside and fluffy inside. A treat! The tenders are two stars because of serious over-breading. Far more crust than chicken. Sweet chili sauce satisfyingly hot and flavorful. At $10 for an order, that's $2.50 per tender: overpriced for what you get. No complaints here about garlic tots price, nor about ordering process. It takes a while, but they're up front about how it works. We waited maybe 20 minutes for this small order, but it was a busy Saturday at the dive-y Saloon, and our order was hot and fresh when ready. If the schedule ever works out, I'll revise this review to include the wings.

Holy shit. The wings were fantastic. The fries were amazing. The people were awesome. Thank y'all! I didn't get a pic because I had to dig in.. immediately.

Amazing tots and flavors for their wings, skimpy portion of wings for the price. After the forced order fee and tipping paying about 15$ for 5 wings not much more than a bite or two of meat on some of them.

Sweet chili and lollipop style was great. Good crisp to wings. Definitely worth it a stop to grab a beverage at the bar and some wings while watching the Horns.

Amazing wings here! They were done all drumstick style Asian style. Nice and tender and crispy and meaty. We got the buffalo, OGs, garlic/Parmesan, Ranch on Fire. All of them were very good. I'd recommend ordering two dipping sauces per person. We got 10 wings each so for a total of 20. I don't recommend ordering before you arrive there through their app you have to order from the app anyways. Remember to order the celery and garnishes, which are à la carte. Decent but relatively expensive. Cool little bar attached to you where the food truck that runs the wing spot is at. Limited parking.

The best boneless chicken wings I have ever had. Not going to bother with anything else next time I am seeking out fried chicken. Give the holy schnikes sauce a shot it you think you are ready for Hot Ones. They would not share the ingredients, but told us it was "well over a million scovilles". Recommend that sauce on the side.

These wings are delicious. 20/10 ordering again. Make sure you order before arriving because it does take a while for you get your food. I recommend the chile limón and ranch on fire.

Great wings, great service! Dropped in before hitting the Drafthouse for a movie and had heard so many great things. Got the lemon pepper wings, they french cut their wings (aka lollipop) and made for a great and clean eating experience!

Life-changing wings!! We have been wanting to try TWW for awhile but it's a bummer we live about 45 minutes away. We got lucky and found ourselves in town and decided to stop by for dinner. And WOW! Wings are cooked perfectly and the lollipop cuts allow for easy eating. Sauce flavor was perfect. Wings were crunchy and super flavorful. Wish we had one of these closer - but they are good enough that we will make the long drive just to come here.

Food is good but, people who work there are not happy with their lives. So, I had to get handled by the fry cook what a douche bag!!!

Expensive as hell. I paid $25 with tax and tip for 5 chicken wings and tater tots. They tasted good but I feel shame at what I agreed to pay. Never again lol

No complaints regarding the food. I never got what I ordered. Ordered through door dash via the website. Confirmed pickup at 7:10. Over $100 order. Showed up--never got order. Snarky ass guy at window said "sorry man we door dash order in advance doesn't work here." If that is the case FUCKING TAKE IT OFF YOUR WEBSITE. Won't be coming back. Baaaaadd service.

One of the best wings you'll ever had, what are you waiting for? Only if I lived in Austin to have this every week.

Yay, first review. Too bad it's not a great review that it could have been. We are occasional visitors of Barton Creek Saloon and we asked the bartender about the chicken wing/tender trailer in their parking lot. The bartender said he thought they were the best tenders he's ever had. Great recommendation, right? So I walk up the trailer to order and the guy running the place said I needed to order using the QR code (shown on the trailer/part of the menu). I explained to him that I scanned it with my phone and it came up to a 'broken' web page that didn't let me see anything so I couldn't order via phone. I also told him my partner's phone did the same thing, both phones having a good internet connection. His reply incinuited there must be something wrong with our phones because he's been getting orders. So at this point I'm waiting for him to say, "no problem, let me take your order" but he doesn't, he just continues to look at me like, "why is he still here?". So I tell him, well since I can't use either of our phones, I guess I can't order then, still expecting he'd manually take my order (he didn't). So I left. Shortly after my partner went outside of the bar to show him the screen that comes up when you use the QR code. He was unmoved and didn't 'recognize' that screen with ads (this is *their* landing page for the QR code!). So I walked next door and PTerry's took my order the old fashioned way. This was very poor customer service and came off to us as being arrogant. If their business model is to only accept orders by QR code, well, I don't understand that when you have someone perfectly able to take your order from someone who is standing at your window wanting to give you money. To automatically imply something must be wrong with our phones (both phones, really?), and still, to not offer to take our order? Good luck Wingy, we won't bother you again next time we're at BSS.

Delicious Wings! I live nearby and order from here often. I ate them every evening after ACL as they were on my way home and offer the ability to order online so I don't have to wait long. My favorite flavors have been sweet chili (not super spicy) and spicy pineapple (a little spicier than sweet chili but not on fire). I get reflux if things are too spicy and these are perfect. Always order them with a side of blue cheese.

Absolutely loved the wings here! Usually hate boned wings because of the hassle it takes to eat one. But these "lollipop" wings make it super convenient to eat. Along with the ease, the quality of chicken and seasoning is superb. I've seen people comment on the pricing but if you google the process of making lollipops wings every single cent is justified.

This is an ideal location, at a great dive bar with a patio! Best wings in town with a little larger menu at this location.

fresh wings with great flavors. would really recommend this place you have to order online once you're here but it's worth the wait.

We were willing to pay $32 for 6 chicken wings and fries because we were hungry! However, after we weren't able to pay for the order online because it wouldn't go through, we went to ask to order at the window. We were told there was nothing he could do. Terrible answer! The owners needs to know this is losing them business.
