Wings are excellent, never had wings from here that weren’t good. Biggest downside is that they close whenever they want to, you REALLY gotta call before you show up because you might just show up on a day they’ve decided to close an hour early. No parking either.

It was not bad. I like this location better than the others because its not as big and the staff had better attitudes. We got the 10 piece wings with fries for $14. They were seasoned well and delicious

Got a turkey burger/ wings and an alcoholic beverage. The wings were the best thing. The burger was salty to the point I couldn’t eat (salty bun from the toasting im assuming). The drink was terrible. Taste like the person who made it just poured concentrated lemon juice and nothing else.

I ordered the 10 piece wings, hot flavor with fries. What I got, 10 piece cold wings with medium flavor. Pro tip;, when they show you your food check it for tempature and flavor.

Definitely enjoyed the lemon pepper wings here. Of course I’ve heard about how famous they are and so I went to try. They didn’t disappoint. My only knock is on the setup. The upstairs, downstairs, outdoor thing is weird (to me) and leads to staff bringing the food upstairs and downstairs. Not to mention the same lady that took my order at the register was who brought up my food (and who got me lemon for my water…I left her a nice tip though). Not an ideal arrangement. There’s also no dedicated parking so you’re just left to the street. This can be fine but it can be scant as well.

Well went for my lunch break placed order over the phone . We had 3 separate orders of 10 pice wing combo . Placed order at 12:50 got to location at 1:30 nothing was ready . When it finally got ready the chef mixed up the orders so we had to wait longer . When it was time to checkout the chef/cashier put the orders together and didn’t know how to do separate so we had to pay as a whole , Evan tho we ordered separately . They no parking lot no free parking . Street parking only . When we got to office to eat no napkins plastic wear or extra dressings that we paid for .

I can’t write anything here except for how terrible the service needs because it is 11:30 at night and I went in to get some fish and fries and they told me they were only making wings and french fries that they won’t be able to sell any fish until tomorrow I asked them why when there are several hours of business operation left I was told because the cook doesn’t feel like making anything else that’s a problem because he’s a cook not the business owner and he is killing business by doing that
