Patrons rave about the various wing flavors, especially the lemon pepper and garlic parm, which always hit the spot. The fried catfish bites are another highlight, known for their freshness and flavor. The satisfying crunch of the fries often garners mixed reviews, yet many love how they compliment the entrees. Top-notch service impresses diners, contributing to an overall enjoyable experience. Quick meal preparation keeps the crowd coming back during peak hours, ensuring minimal wait times even when busy.

Most Disliked
Some diners express frustration with the phone order process, noting instances of unhelpfulness or rudeness from staff, which can detract from the experience. The fries, while generally appreciated, receive mixed feedback; some find them merely okay when compared to the star dishes. As a popular spot for lunch and dinner, expect busiest days on Fridays and Saturdays when it reaches full capacity. This can lead to longer wait times, especially during peak hours, potentially discouraging those looking for a quick meal. It's advisable to arrive early or at off-peak times to avoid delays.

Fried catfish bites were fresh and delicious. We also got jerk chicken wings and hot lemon pepper wings, all amazing! Fries were okay but loved the entrees.
Dan B.
Best wing spot in the city. They always get the perfect fry (IMO hard/crispy and still juicy inside) that stands up to to sauces and doesn't get soggy. They have the most sauce and flavoring options available in the area. All that I've tried have been really good. They have classic flavors like mild, garlic parm, lemon pepper and they have really creative combos like jun jun and vaya pickle ranch. They fry a good fish too. Call in orders can be busy sometimes and may take a few tries. Pop in to order if you're in area, they're pretty quick.

I love the gizzard style wings. Whoever is taking orders over the phone needs to work on their phone skills. Kind of rude. Food is great though.

All I gotta say is Wingstop ain’t never gotta worry bout me again. The food is better, cost less, fried crispy just how I like it, and have better flavor varieties. The juice is on point on as well. Just wish they had some desserts on the menu.
