“ Excellent!!! Across the board. The lovely lady who took my order was training and she was very professional. Meanwhile, the woman who was training her was very friendly also and made sure my order was just the way I wanted, making sure to specify the crispness and wetness I desired. And the wings were DELICIOUS! The cow followed instructions to a T! Full disclosure, It had been a while since I'd gone there. My food just wasn't as good as it usually was the last few times I ordered. But they definitely redeemed themselves this time. 10/10 ”
“ Great customer service, and we enjoyed our food! My husband ordered a chicken sandwich with fries, and I ordered chicken tenders with fries. ”
“ When I tell you their ranch fries are THE BEST O.M.G. My girl put me on and I’ve been there 3 days out of the last 10 So far (why did that try to auto correct to fat- what is Siri trying to tell me) I’ve had the cheese steak sandwich and the tenders with the tenders and fries tossed in ranch. I’ve tasted the tilapia (with the ranch) and the mild wings as well. Everything was YUMMMMMMMM. I was doing my happy dance while chewing (that’s how you KNOW it’s good!) every time. I heard the desserts are really good too. Highly recommended! ”
“ This was my first visit after my brother recommended it to me several times, so he brought me here tonight. I had the 10 pc Lemon Pepper Wings and Fries with a fountain drink. The wings were fresh and super hot. My first bite was a mix of zingy lemon pepper and crunchy chicken. It was very light tasting, meaning they did not taste greasy at all. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought they were air fried. It is absolutely delicious and flavorable. The crinkle fries were just as hot and tasty with a dash of salt. My brother ordered the chili cheese fries and 10 pc chicken tenders, half lemon-pepper, and the other half teriyaki flavored. The chili cheese fries were good, but that's not really my thing. However, the teriyaki flavored chicken tenders were very tasty. For my first visit, I'm impressed. The staff was absolutely delightful and helpful in answering my questions. They even brought the food out to our table and gladly refilled our drinks as needed. Thank you for the excellent food, great recommendations on dessert, as well as your southern hospitality. It is greatly appreciated. ”
“ Good food, good people, clean restaurant. My family has been coming here for years, long before the name change. Best tip - if more than one person is eating split the family fries. More than enough for 3 people. ”
“ A friend of mine brought these wings for a lunch date and I’ve been hooked ever since. Called in to order for pick up. The call was very pleasant, professional and friendly. She listened, because my order was correct at pick up. I asked for all crispy all flats half lemon pepper and the other 10 mild. Location was a little bit surprising however doesn’t take away from the beautiful atmosphere. They have a very little gift shop area and I will be back! Enjoy ”
“ I’ve been eating here for years, and the wings are delicious when fried hard (extra crispy) with extra seasoning. The staff is always friendly. It’s my favorite wing spot in McDonough, and they make everything fresh. The food is usually ready in 15 to 20 minutes. Once you try their wings, you won’t go to the other places. Trust me, it doesn’t even compare. ”
“ We love both locations. The food is always delicious. You may have to wait a bit, since it is not really "fast food". Trust me, it is worth the wait! Tip...Order ahead online! And add a side of corn nuggets. But don't plan on sharing them! Soooo good! ”
