Arguably the best deal in harrisonburg is available every Thursday in a small nook of a restaurant in downtown Harrisonburg on the corner of Water and Main. The restaurant is Billy Jack’s Wing and Draft Shack. Sister restaurant to nearby burger joint Jack Brown’s, Billy Jack’s offers wings, loaded doughnuts and craft beers in a rustic-chic atmosphere. Although best known for its wings, Billy Jack’s offers a varied menu with plenty of options for the carnivores among us. Personally, my favorite item is the sticky nuggs. These pieces of crispy chicken are served smothered in your choice of sauce and with a side of ranch or bleu cheese dressing. Although there are many sauce options are available, the best is their classic “sticky sauce”. The sweet and spicy sauce is perfectly complemented by the mellowing dressing (ranch of course, is the superior option) and the steaming chicken. If I haven’t sold you already, let me just say that this delicious item, served in a Chinese take out box, only costs $4.99.

But the best part of this whole wonderful scenario is that on Thursdays, sticky nuggs only cost $2.99- truly a steal. For just three dollars, you can get a delicious meal which is enough for lunch easily and dinner at a stretch. Some choose to buy two boxes of sticky nuggs for dinner but even then the total price is only six dollars. For a tasty meat entree, it’s hard to find a competitive product in sit down restaurant that isn’t fast food. As you can imagine, this isn’t the only popular item on the Billy Jack’s menu.

Whatever is it that they’re doing, Billy Jack’s is doing right. Many nights there is a line out the door and people wait to get a chance to sit and eat. This delightful eatery offers good food at good prices in an atmosphere that makes you want to keep coming back.
