Pluckers - Mesquite

 Recently grandson number 1, CBoss, came in for a few days for advanced whittle and creek dwelling lessons. Gotta love the desire to learn and improve. Now CBoss is a big friend of the chicken wing or tender. Gotta be saucy though or forget it. So come time to strap on the feed bag, CBoss wanted to go to the new Pluckers in Mesquite. Since no is not in my vocabulary when it comes to grand kids we are off to Pluckers.

The first few months this place was open it was covered up with chicken eaten Skeeters/Stallions. However, finally the new has worn off and it is just a restaurant now. Mesquite was in bad need of another yardbird vendor. Like taco venders we have one on every corner.

We started off with fried pickles. Years ago I would have wondered why you want a fried pickle, but if it is battered and spiced nicely they are awesome. Pluckers are not. First of all they use a half a pickle spear. Fried pickles should be pickle slices heavely battered and very spicy. The batter here was ok and the spice was basic. The biggest problem here it is all pickle, limited batter and spice. If you need good fried pickles Razzoo's is the best. Buffalo Wild Wings are very good.  Don't bother with fried pickles at Pluckers.

I ordered the original buffalo flavor for my wings. The first thing I notice is what they call a wing, I call half a chicken. These things are huge. I prefer normal wing size which has more breading and flavor to the chicken ratio. These should be called yardbird breast not wings. The original buffalo flavor was disappointing. I have had this flavor in a number of wing shops in the area and this one is the least flavor I have had. This is how bad it is, Whatwings at Whataburger have a much better flavor. My wings (half chicken) had a good amount of grizzle. My knife couldn't cut the grizzle. So there goes a good amount of the wing (half chicken). You lose me at grizzle. 

Overall, I don't see the point here. My drink was good. That is the best thing I had. So don't look for me at Pluckers in the future cause I won't be there. Come see me at Whataburger, love those Whatwings.
