Tex’s Chicken & Burgers 7.7
Astoria (North)-Ditmars-Steinway
Vibes: Cheap Eats Budget Brilliance Quick Bites Champions Late Night Legends Solo Dining Sanctuaries
A late-hours counter spot where wings work best as a straightforward, repeatable craving order rather than a complicated meal. Go crispy, go spicy if you want heat, and keep sides simple so the chicken stays the point.
Must-Try Dishes: Spicy chicken wings, Fried chicken wings, Chicken sandwich
