Wingzup

We were pleasantly surprised by the food here! Just passing through Austin and had a craving for wings! I didn’t expect much from a sports bar, as we do not appreciate the overstimulating environment with so many tvs and games and noise, but decided we wanted to try the “best wings in Austin.” The Old Fashioned was the best one I’ve had! The medium flavored wings were perfectly cooked, wet with sauce and super flavorful. The curry flavor was rich, aromatic and deliciously spicy! The garlic Parmesan fries were evenly coated with seasoning and were crispy even after sitting as we ate our wings. The only negative was that I never received the lemon I requested with my water, and we didn’t receive a “bones bucket” that we saw other tables had. This was a fantastic eating experience and would recommend the food here over and over!

Best Wings for sure. Got to try their smoked wings, they are amazing. I had the grilled on the right and smoked on the left and they were a hard choice... but definitely smoked wings is where its at. Atmosphere is nice, staff is awesome. Great experience, Rohan was our server and was awesome. Definitely see why they are the best wings in Austin for sure. Definitely try the smoked wings you wont be disappointed.

When Good Eats Austin asked it readers for suggestions of good places to get chicken wings, Wingzup Bar & Grill was suggested a bunch of times. I decided to check them out this week and, our readers don’t lie – their wings are lit! I decided to try both traditional bone in and boneless to get an idea of how both taste and of the quality of the meat. For the traditional, I always get a Medium Buffalo sauce so I can compare the taste from restaurant to restaurant. For the boneless, I usually get them plain and ask to taste their most popular sauces. Wingzup Medium Buffalo is everything you want in a wing, generous size, cooked perfectly with a sauce that sticks to the meat. Wingz up generously sauces their wings, so there are leftovers in the tray to dip your fries. If you don’t do that, you should start today. I always get Bleu Cheese dressing with wings, it was good and thick. For the boneless wings, I tried five different sauces – Jalapeno Ranch, Buffalo Ranch, Mango Habanero, Korean Sweet Chili, and a Korean Buldak. My favorite sauce of the five was the Korean Sweet Chili. The sauce gets its distinctive taste from a fermented red chili paste (Gochujang) combined with sugar. The combined flavors give you a sweet taste at first with a follow-up of a tangy, spicy (but not too hot) finish. Many of you may be familiar with the Buldak sauce which is often used to add heat and flavor to chicken ramen dishes. Like the Gochujang, Buldak used both sweet and spicy flavors. It is most often made using a chili extract and then adding in onion, garlic, soy sauce and corn syrup. The amount of chili extract controls the level of heat. Wingzup is not trying to smoke diners too bad, but if you’re not used to the flavor it will hit you a bit on that first bite. I really liked that one too. Stephanie, my waiter has been at Wingzup for almost five years. She recommended the Jalapeno Ranch, but let me know she loves to dip the fries in it. I definitely agree with her, and I has to ration some fries from my earlier medium buffalo sauce dipping ritual to soak up that goodness. The Mango Habanero is also very good, but once Stephanie brought me out the Korean Sweet Chili, I abandoned the rest of the cup. All of the sauces at Wingzup are homemade. Yes, you heard that correctly. A Korean couple own the restaurant, and the wife prepares every sauce from scratch. There is no Sysco truck bringing big jugs in this place. The couple came to Austin, after a stop in Canada for a few year. That is why you will see both a Korean and Canadian flair to some of the dishes. As an example, they offer four different types of Poutines on the menu, which is a dish of French fries and cheese curds topped with a brown gravy. It comes form the Centre-du-Quebec region of Quebec. Wingzup has the original version and some tasty variations. Wingzup has a full menu of items to choose from including a great burger that they run as a special on Thursdays for $10. You get the third-pound burger with fries on the side. I would forego my normal ketchup and mayo condiment combo to put some of the Sweet Chili sauce on top. Stephanie recommends trying the Fried Sliced Pickles as an appetizer. They also do a Fried Pickle Spear. Where do you ever see both on a menu? The ambiance of Wingzup is sort of sport bar-ish. There are a TON of televisions where you could watch ice hockey, curling or some of those American sports if you are so inclined. I really liked the wings a lot and would put this right up there with Anchor Bar in Round Rock and Wings and More in Pflugerville. Don’t forget Tater Que’s too. I’ve got eight other wing stops on this list, so we will see which of those make the upper tier. #MattGoodEats

Probably the best Wings Ive ever had before, they are that good! Food and service were exceptional. Only minor complaint is that the AC was set too cold for my liking, otherwise you gotta come try this place.

First time eating in the facility. I've had it delivered at work and the wings were great...so I had to try them straight to the table and it did not disappoint! This is our new spot (hopefully you guys stay busy enough but still not hours long of waiting) what I mean is, it's still a hidden gem and once word gets out it's over!!! Anyways, give them a try, even when they do hear about yall-IT WILL BE WORTH A WAIT!!! I had the boneless buffalo ranch wings and the golden jalapeno ranch wings, both very tasty! Whatever the seasoning is on just the Golden wings is to die for!!! We will be back! Oh yeah, and the price is just right!!! You are paying for huge wings!!!

Ordered the fried mushrooms, waffle fries, sweet potato fries, Original, Country, and Golden style wings. The mushrooms were huge and ok. Both the waffle fries and sweet potato fries were very good. Nice simple fries made great. I wasn't a big fan of the Country style wings. I thought the batter was light and the taste was off. The Original were tossed in hot sauce. The wings were really good. The hot is HOT. I could taste the heat after the first wing. By far, my favorite were the Golden wings. I did dip them, but mostly ate them as is. The place had a great vibe if you're a sports fan. The service was great. Our waitress was friendly and checked on us regularly. I would come back for the Golden wings for sure.

Smoked wings is where it is at. Great tvs everywhere find a seat and post up. Good amount of parking great comfort food.

Ordered the Smoked Wings in Scary sauce!! Wings could've been a bit crispier, but that sauce was DELICIOUS & SPICY 🔥 Fries were good as well!! We went bc we wanted to try the smoked wings!!

If you're craving wings with endless flavor possibilities, Wingz Up is the place to be! The wings are delicious and cooked to perfection, with so many sauces and rubs to choose from that it's hard to pick just one. Whether you like your wings spicy, tangy, or sweet, they've got something for every palate. But the real star of the show? The frozen swirl margaritas! They're smooth, refreshing, and taste so good you might forget how fast they'll sneak up on you. Perfect for pairing with a basket of wings or enjoying on their own--just be careful, they pack a punch! Great food, great drinks, and a fun atmosphere. Wingz Up is definitely worth checking out.

We discovered Wingzup on Instagram and decided to visit since it's rated the number one wing spot in Austin. Our experience definitely lived up to the hype! Everything we ordered was delicious, starting with the Spicy Lemon Pepper wings. Although I don't typically go for spicy foods, these wings were so good they left me feeling exhilarated. The heat was just right, adding an enjoyable kick without being overwhelming. The fries were crispy and fresh, complementing the wings perfectly. We also had the fried pickles, which were phenomenal. The breading was thick and stayed perfectly on the pickles, making for a satisfying crunch with every bite. We tried a variety of wing flavors, including Garlic Ranch, Teriyaki, and Garlic Parmesan. Each one was distinct and delicious, showcasing the range of flavors Wingzup has to offer. The drinks were cold and came out quickly. I especially enjoyed the Wingzup Margarita, which was a great deal at only $8.99! The pricing here is fairly affordable, and we had no complaints. Our server was amazing, maintaining a positive attitude despite how busy the place was. Overall, I would definitely come back to Wingzup. If you're debating what to eat for dinner tonight, I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Very conflicted about giving a 4 or 5 so ideally I would give a 4.5. Our server AJ was great! We came at about 11 am so the place was pretty empty but that changed real fast. We ordered the spicy lemon pepper wings original, golden jalapeno ranch, and smoked spicy garlic. The smoked was horrible in my opinion, it had such a strong smoked flavor that it tasted almost like artificial smoke. You couldn't even taste the sauce. I recommend getting the spicy lemon pepper; it was possibly the best wing I've had. I could eat a whole plate of that by myself. If you want to try other flavors, I would recommend not getting anything smoked, and the heat for these wings are definitely there. Also the fries were good! I will be back for those spicy lemon pepper. I've seen reviews complaining about service, but our server was great! They do seem a little short staffed though, and we were told the golden would take longer because it's made to order... we already know we were going to wait a while but if you are on a time crunch perhaps look at other options. We came in and sat ourselves, the place is a little dark for my liking and they closed off a section so the seating arrangement but a tad bit tight. Overall it's a classic sports bar place with lots of TVs which is kinda fun during Olympic season.

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

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 .

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!

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!

Wanted a spicy and hot chicken wing party in my mouth, got exactly that here. The curry chicken wings are TOO GOOD and TOO SPICY also tried the smoked wings, turned out fine! Seating is very basic, it's a sports bar.

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!

yum! we ate that shit up forgot to take pics before. pretty sure our servers name was jon -- great service! and they let u try flavors

Our server was sweet howeverrrrr the food was so mid!! I have no clue how this is considered "the best wings in Austin" should be called wingz down. Waffle fries were rock hard. Won't be coming back honestly had better wings at food trucks.

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.

Mango H and lemon pepper were just alright. Had the loaded fries too and the cheese wasn't even melted. Better off just making your way to pluckers

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.

I'm going to guess that if people are rating this place on the lower end it's because of the environment/ambience or something. It's not the nicest furnished place or anything, but the wings here are the best I've ever had by far. I am super picky about wings (they are one of my favorite foods) and these wings blew me out of the water. I was in shock at how good the quality was. Not only that, but our server was so attentive and so nice, his service deserved five stars on its own. This rating is purely for the food and service, I know Austinites are really picky about ambience and whatnot but I'm literally daydreaming about going back to have some of those wings in my mouth again LMAO

Wings are good but this wing was undercooked! Me and my kids cook get sick from wearing something like this!

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 .

Great wings just make sure you don't have anything to do because your order will probably be wrong and if you do take out they'll probably forget you even ordered. Nice meth head staff t

The food was decent, the main issue was the service. Our serve CJ was ok at first and progressively got worse, we waited over 20 minutes after the appetizers came to get our entree order. he was snappy with us after he forgot our side sauces, CJ must stand for complete joke because i don't understand how he could get hired with how rude he is to customers

Addicted to their fried mushrooms. The wings are great too, especially the gochujang ones but nothing beats a good fried mushrooms and fried sliced or speared pickles combo. The drinks are pretty good too and fairly strong. The margaritas never miss. Minus one star because the service can be a little bad sometimes. Not sure if it's cause they're understaffed or something but overall a decent place to go have a drink and some wings as long as you don't mind having to fight for your waiters attention a bit.

Look, if you're in Austin and you want wings don't mess around anywhere else. Get some friends, get some poutines, get some beer and get a bunch of wings and you will be happy. Jalapeño ranch is the GOAT here but all the flavors are cool, staff is cool, the whole code is cool. Jest get here already

A great place to watch Sunday football and eat delicious wings! We came here for week 1 of the NFL season and loved how many TVs there were. They also label each TV with a number that corresponds to each game, so you can pick the best seat for yourself. Onto the food - wings and tenders are where it's at! Wings are large in size and sauced up with great tasting sauces. Tenders are big and super juicy. For the tenders, I got the regular version which wasn't as crispy as I thought they'd be, so I'd recommend going with one of the premium options like Country style. We also ordered nachos as an appetizer but these can be skipped. They tasted fine but save your stomach for their chicken! It does get packed during game days so come a bit earlier to snag a good table!

Terrible service! Waitress forgot to bring out everything ordered for us. We had to asked several times for the rest of our order.

Best Wings in town ! Service is always great and plenty of TVs for the games. Would recommend catching a Horns Game there.

Seat yourself when you walk in and they will bring you the menus. The prices are very good. We got the grilled jalapeño ranch wings and the spicy garlic smoked wings. Both were good. I will be back to try the actual fried wings when i visit. It's very dark inside but they have hella TVs.

Location is way different once inside. Great staff open to discussing their menu. Mixed crowd happy hr and families.

If you're looking for a good wings place, this is it! My husband LOVES chicken wings, he can literally eat them every day and we found this place when we moved to Austin several years ago and have been here more than five times so far. It has casual sports bar vibes and they have good selection of beer with happy hour deal as well. I love variety of sauce they have, we've tried most of them so far and my all-time favorite is spicy lemon pepper dry rub! For food itself, it's definitely hands down with no doubt and service is fast, but the staff? Well, it depends who will take care of your table. Some of them are really friendly and attentive, some are not. One had 'I don't give a f' attitude every time we saw them and we actually stopped going to this place because of that. But food-itself, absolutely worth it to try!

Food was okay. Came out barley warm. Service from CJ was terrible. If I could give a zero star rating I would because we never saw our server through the meal or even to check if everyone wad good. Also awe had to have someone from our party of 10 give him our cards which he held for another 15 min. And when I say held I mean left at the POS unattended where anyone could grab or even take a picture of our cards. Sorry but I hate to be that person to complain but coming from being a server myself I would leave the tip of "you need more training". Having to tip 20% due to our party size being over 6 was still 15% too much. The only good thing to come from this experience was the drinks and the fact they had every game on the tvs.

I saw this got rated as best wings in Austin and I been going now every other week since I live right around the corner The wings are good. Sauces are great and a wide variety. Best wings in Austin? Nah, that's Tommy want wingy for sure. But great spot and the bartenders are great. Must try for wing people

Great place to root on the Horns while having the best wings in the ATX. Staff is super fun and engaging

The food was delicious. The staff were accommodating and had great service. The ambiance was chill and welcoming. The only thing keeping this review from being a 5 star is the condition of the restroom! I thought I'd catch a new disease touching anything.

The wings were okay but the order was wrong, received traditional instead of the boneless we ordered and regular instead of the smoked wings we ordered. The service took way too long. We had to go up to the counter to request menus, drinks, and the bill. And the bill was wrong every time they brought it out to the table until they finally just said they couldn't figure it out and we could leave. We won't be coming back.

Honestly that tiktok that went viral overhyped this place. The wings were okay and more expensive than I thought they would be

Fresh , hot , tasty, flavorful wing's! We love this place because of the fresh wing's , (they are never cold) good beer, fun ambiance, great service Totally worth it. Great selection of beer, great selection of tap beer also. I love a good Pale Ale or IPA. The swirl margaritas are also good, nice & strong will do the job for a great price. My husband enjoys to watch sports on the big TVs they have all over the restaurant, every sport that is playing that day actually. Pretty cool. Our waiter is usually Paulie, he's always nice & sweet. Always provides great customer service every time we go. A must try spot for some good wing's! Get nice & messy you will not regret it!

Friendly and professional staff, very nice. Ordered the original wings with classic fries; delicious!

We really enjoyed our meal here. We ordered a 10 piece smoked spicy lemon pepper and ghost bbq .The food was delicious. You could taste the smoky flavor in each wing and the sauces made it even better. The ranch was also really good. Our waiter was awesome. We asked for sample sauces and other things and he fulfilled it. The ambient was loud and energetic it made you feel like you were in the right place to enjoy a meal. However, I wouldn't recommend if you're in a rush. The place gets busy and the food itself also takes time to be served and your waiter will probably be busy attending others as well.

didnt even get a chance to try the food!! got there around 12:10-12:15? sat myself as there is a sign right at the door that says: Please Seat Yourself. waited maybe 5? 10? minutes and no one came up to me or offered me a menu. saw some people lining up by the register and thought maybe I have to order there after all. went up and stood there for at least 10 minutes waiting for anyone to acknowledge me and there WAS a guy there at the computer hitting buttons, walking away, going to the back, delivering food etc etc. I get it, it's busy but maybe don't ignore your customers? after 10 minutes another man from the back comes up, does something on the computer thing and then finally asked if I needed help. I said yes do I have to order here or sit down? and he said just find any open table. so I sit down AGAIN and wait maybe another 5 minutes before the waitress comes over and asks if I want something to drink. she leaves and comes back with the menu and a water and leaves again. I already know what I want at this point because I looked at the menu online since it took 20 minutes just to get one. White couple comes in and sits at the table next to me and IMMEDIATELY gets attended to?? SAME WAITRESS TOO... (I am very obviously not white) Interesting ....... Again, got there maybe 12:15ish? And didn't get asked what I wanted to order until 12:45.. Yes they were busy, it's lunchtime and they seem very poorly staffed but completely ignoring your customers isn't a good look

Wingzzzz Wednesday, couldn't resist trying a new place and thought this place was pretty legit. We tried several different sauces. I really liked the spicy garlic. The side of fries is huuuuge. Like so many fries. They were hot and crispy - we tried waffle and did garlic parmesan. The wings were a good size and cooked nicely. Service was a bit slow but seemed like one guy waiting on the whole place so ok, we weren't in a rush. There are lots of TVs around and sports vibey feel, I'd check it out to watch games.

Great wings, though they are on the pricey side. Service has been a toss up the three times I've been here, but you just have to come on a slower day/night. Good sports bar with plenty of options.

Alright so me and my mom went here for my birthday last month January 10th after looking up wing places in Austin and this popped up first with the highest reviews, so we went here. Took us forever to get there because my mom kept making the wrong turn. But when we finally got there I thought about turning back because it didn't look fancy but I am really glad I didn't my mom insisted we sit down. Not even 2 minutes pass by and a lady(didn't get her name) greeted us and gave us menus and we got drinks which were pretty big and good. My mom then ordered fried mushroom which are appetizers and goddamn they were the best appetizers I've ever tasted they were huge(as you can see in the photo) and juicy with a crunch 10/10 will be eating those again. Then I ordered the 10 piece wings sampler and got 5 extra hot wings, and 5 Cajun wings my mom ordered 5 curry and 5 extra hot. And the food didn't even take long at all to come out maybe like 20 minutes or less. But thats probably because we came in the place early like at 3 which I think is the best time to go. But anyway the wings were 10/10 I didn't even finish all of them, the fries though were not that good they were bland ngl 3/10 needed more seasoning. It wasn't a noisy place they had tvs all around playing different stuff they also had a bar. The restrooms are 1 person and a little dirty, hopefully when they get enough money they'll upgrade it, my mom also loved her food but also didn't like that the waiter did that tell us her name nor had a name tag, but again the food is good and was the experience we felt welcome grateful that I ate here will come again and I will be reviewing more places in Austin.

The Triple threat! Great atmosphere, great service and great food/drinks. Will definitely be visiting again when in ATX!

If I could put 0 stars I would. Was excited to go try "#1 wings in Austin" according to their sign at the front door. Right away the service was terrible and couldn't even get to try the wings before my friends and I decided to just go somewhere else instead. The server had the worst attitude ever and looked like she did not want to attend us whatsoever. (girl with pink hair, piercings, and face tattoo)

Wings were large. They were cooked and tossed perfectly. What more should be judged when talking wings.

First restaurant in Austin, so it was hard to find lol. Off jump I absolutely loved the sign at the entrance makes me think of Mario the game. The customer service is excellent. This is my first time seeing a gender neutral restroom so I was pretty surprised. The fried Mac and cheese was nice and hot when I took my first bite! They even give you a side of ranch dipping sauce. I haven't ever had my wings smoked from any restaurant so I had to try them; and I'm glad I did because I think I've been missing out. The place was a little hard to find but was worth the search. This establishment has a good road ahead of them. I wish the location was a little bit bigger, maybe that's why they have outdoor seating. Great food, great service ! 4 stars

This is hands down my favorite wing place. At Wingzup they have any style of wing you could possibly want. I'm a huge fan of the golden wings. My kid likes the grilled wings. They have tons of flavors and sauces to choose from. I'm in love with the jalapeño ranch. The French fries are delicious and you can get them cheesy. The place is super comfortable. If you are into sports there are tons of TVs all around. The service is excellent and the beer is cold. I just wish the had a location more convenient for me down south. We will definitely be back!

The wing variety here is great. You can get wet or dry wings, smoked, golden, fried. They even have some things they call boneless wings that are really just chicken nuggets for the kiddo's. They have lots of low carb options. I feel like you can actually eat somewhat healthy here if you want. They also have a great beer selection. Wingzup has become my favorite spot for wings.

My server Jax was not only extremely helpful, but very attractive as well. 5/5 stars. will be coming back.

Their wings are top notch. Try their hottest sauce. The best so far, the ghost pepper one. Left me sweating. I love the sweat.

I have been keeping an eye out for a good wing. This ranks ehhh on the scale. Better wings are to be had. Wingzup is down there with Wingsstop imo.
