ROUND ROCK
Pluckers Wing Factory & Grill
300 Mays Crossing Ste 300
Round Rock, TX 78664
Phone: (512) 671-9464
Pluckers' motto is "If you don't like our wings, we'll
give you the BIRD." The late-night, dine-in and delivery
poultry purveyor also cooks up chicken sandwiches and tenders,
hamburgers, baked potatoes, and cheese fries. Buffalo wings
undoubtedly have big bird billing, and they come in portions
of five to 100 (the mother plucker). They also have 14 sauces
to chose from and several nightly drink specials make it easy
to wash everything down.
TIM’S TAKE – A popular
hangout and a great place to watch the game.

better.
