Do not go there if you are very hungry. Expect to maybe getting your order or not after 40minutes. No apologies at all. Their excuse is that they are short in staff (cooks) and they have too many online orders.

The wings are a 10 the service is a 0 they take for ever to take your order to deliver your order to refund your order, even if you order online the system says 30 min, one Hr later and you still dont have your food. The girl manager is no help she seems ready to throw down . Been here many times and its always the same needs better management and cooks .

This was our first time here. We struggled with the ordering, which was done at the counter. It was noisy, and we couldnt hear or understand the cashier. When my wings came, it was not my order. I did receive the missing wings. My husbands hamburger and fries were cold. I saw them placed on the pick-up area, and the server quickly got him. Hum, the prep area, did not keep it warm. We were very disappointed and wont return.

So this was our first time coming and I have to say I finally found my wing place in the valley. Their extra hot wings are actually hot. My husband had a burger and loved it. My very picky 3 year old ate all of his nuggets and fries! Everyone was very friendly and the food was delicious. Thank you to the manager Adrian for being so helpful and to the rest of the staff. We will definitely be going back. I highly recommend this place! Kid-friendliness: I really like the options in the kids menu, because my kid does not like burgers yet. So the nuggets were perfect.

horrible service from the moment you walk in. Andrea had an attitude right away. I was told i would wait 30-40 min. One hour later they said my food had already gone out and the guy seemed to careless, he kept with his business. I dont know if he expected me to just leave but he walked by me again and said nothing, i had to ask for my money back. 1hr and 20 min, got 2 beers and they were not kind enough to at least reimburse the 2 beers as well. Horriible service since the moment i walked in. Didnt have a chance to try the food so i cant give my opionion but service from andrea and the other guy DEFINITELY NOT GOING BACK

All good, my only complaint and reason for a 4 star is because the traditional wings are getting smaller a lot of times,but the prices are the same. They should give extra wings when they know they are super small and skinny. Oh, and bring more flavors of wine coolers. Not only smirnoff ice . Thank you

Great food but the wings are pricey in my opinion. I always find myself wanting more wings but not willing to pay over $60 for wings for the family (2 teenage boys, one 8 year old, the wife and me). Again, good to have once in a blue moon due to the price, but yes...the food is good.
