This place was worth the hour drive. The man and women that run it are super nice. The wings were great, probably the biggest wings I have had,lots of meat on them. The fries were also really good.

Some of the most amazing staff. (maybe owners) Food was delicious and possibly some of the best wings I have ever eaten. I came from Houston just to try them out. I had the Trump based on a recommendation and sweet but not too sweet with a little zest. The meat was falling off the bone.

When we arrived they gave us two crack wings to try, and the crack was the best dry rub we’ve ever had!! We also got the Asian Girl Named Sue Wang, WAP, and Hot girl. They were all so good!! I would come back and get any of these wings again because they were all amazing. The wing size was well worth the cost, and all the food was so hot and fresh! I would probably pass on the fries in the future, but their seasoning was great!

The whole wings and fries were very tasty. My only issue is they had a bit too much seasoning for my liking.

I’d give them a solid 8 out of 10. The food is consistently fresh, hot, and packed with bold, unique flavors that keep me coming back. The hospitality is top-notch—no matter how busy they get, the staff always goes above and beyond to make sure we’re taken care of. Even when there’s a wait, it never feels like an inconvenience because of their great service. My only complaint? They need a location closer to SATX because I’d be there all the time!

We took one of each hot dry rub in our wings. Honestly 3 of them kind of tasted the same- tangy with a pinch of heat. It wasn’t mad spicy or anything. The crack fries were crispy, loaded with parmesan and has the same tangy kick. Overhyped, but couldn’t make space in my favourite wings list. 2 highschool boys prepared them and serving takes a while.
