Don't be a chicken! Try Pluckers!

Eat at Pluckers!

Chicken wings have taken the nation by storm: these dippable, saucy, deep fried treats elevate bland foul to tasty bar fare. When a phenomenon such as this gains popularity, multiple chains pop up to grab some dough before the fad disappears. The debate rages on as to whose wings are the best, as for me, my mind is made up. Of those places I frequent, Pluckers is by far my favorite wing joint, hands down. Not only are their wings absolutely incredible, the fried cheese is enormous and always hot and stringy.

In Texas, you can always categorize the quality of the restaurant by the iced tea, let me just say Pluckers’ tea will knock your socks off. Plus, when you ask for a To Go glass, they don’t give you a child’s sippy cup size, oh no, they fill a 32 ounce glass up to the brim. Little elements to this joint are what really make it worth your while, they let you try the wing sauces before you place your order so you can catch a preview before your food arrives. The bleu cheese and ranch dipping sauces are the perfect condiment for your wings, it’s just as important to have an excellent sauce to dip your wings in as it is to have a solid wing sauce foundation. Another fun thing about Pluckers versus places like say, Wing Stop, is the reward card program; each month they feature a different appetizer or dessert which comes complimentary (with the purchase of two entrees). Thanks to this program I have tasted fried macaroni and cheese, fried oreos, and loaded potato chips. While I would not recommend any of these specific dishes, I am glad that I tried them, and especially happy that they were free. Everything tastes better when it’s free! (Except for the fried oreos, nothing could make those taste better)

The waffle fries are crunchy and salty, an excellent side dish for the wings; you can also request the fries tossed in your favorite sauce if you like. I am never disappointed when I sit down at Pluckers for a fun, filling and fattening meal, (we can’t pretend they aren’t deep fried and covered in sauce). And for you vegetarians, Pluckers serves animals who once at vegetables!
