"The buffalo spot is overlooked and underrated. I ordered the 10 Pieces of Garlic Parmesan and Original Hot Traditional Wings, Onion Rings, Ranch, and Special Sauce. The wings were perfectly cooked. They had a crispy exterior, with a juicy interior. Both the sauces tasted good. The flavor of the garlic parmesan is really nice. You taste the pungent garlic, with the salty parmesan. My issue with the garlic parmesan wings is that the sauce is a questionable consistency. Don't get me wrong it was a good flavor, but the consistency was like slime. It was a big turn-off for me. The flavor of the original hot was really good. It was a perfect tanginess that matched well with the wings. The spice level was perfect. The onion rings are surprisingly fantastic. Honestly, one of the best onion rings I've ever had. They were perfectly fried. The breading had a nice flavor. The onion itself was nice and tender. The onion ring as a whole was very crispy. Looking at the picture it looks good too. It is the definition of a perfect onion ring. The ranch is alright, it's just ranch. It was very liquid, which is a little questionable. The special sauce was pretty good. It tasted like chipotle mayo.The quality of the ingredients was good. Due to the wait time, I know for sure the wings are fried to order. Everything came out nice and hot. Again the garlic parmesan sauce is a little questionable in its quality. Again, the ranch being very liquidy is also pretty questionable. The presentation of the food is alright. It's just standard packaging. I like how they top the garlic parmesan wings with some shredded parmesan, it makes the wings pop and looks appetizing. The price is an issue. It was really expensive. It's much more expensive than other places where you get flavored wings. Though, the wings were pretty big. I also appreciated how they sauced the wings well. They gave a really good portion of onion rings. Therefore the price of the onion rings is fair. The chicken wings on the other hand, in terms of the price I would say, are unfair. The staff was pretty nice. Not over-welcoming nor under-welcoming. Again, they do fry the wings fresh. Therefore, it took a while to get my order. No issue there. The ambiance is alright. They're located in a food court of a mall. Though, their sign and the look of the whole booth look really nice. From the looks of the inside of the kitchen, it seems really clean. The parking is really good because of the big parking lot.Pretty good wings here."

"Went with a few friends and tried a wide assortment of wings, which appears to be the main staple food of this restaurant. Verdict: 2 stars (details below)GOOD: The wings are hefty in size and made to order, so they come out hot. Wide variety of flavor options, you should be able to find something Walking distance to campus, so if you 're in that community it 's just a quick walk/light rail ride away! Friendly staffBAD: The wings lack any crispy texture, and some of the sauces are super thick so you just get a goopy, almost jelly like consistency on some flavors Prices are a little crazy. $17 for 10 wings? Pushing nearly $20 after taxes, so you 're talking almost $2 a wing. Not a good value even though the wings are large. You 're asked to tip at the register before even receiving any service or food, which is weird considering no service is even provided. You pick up your own food when they call your name, fill your own drink, and throw away your own trash...what exactly am I tipping for, just giving away free money? Skip the tip it 's not justified whatsoever. Sauces on some of the flavors are pretty muted. Garlic parmesan doesn 't really have a hint of garlic, and the mango habanero has basically no heat or mango, it 's just orange sweet goop. We tried about 60% of their menu, and flavors which you would typically associate with dry rubs (lemon pepper, garlic parmesan) were all sauces. Thick, goopy sauces. The lemon pepper in particular is so overwhelming on the lemon flavor it tastes like candy, with virtually no essence of pepper flavor. For those looking for some heat, we also tried the 'very hot ' flavor and that was also fairly disappointing. It seemed on par with a mild sauce at other places. Their atomic hot flavor is the actual hot flavor, but even then, nothing too crazy. Not a place to go for heatSIDE NOTE: We also saw several bottles of 'Sweet Baby Rays ' in the back which was visible from our seat. Not bad for your fridge at home, but at a restaurant selling wings at this price, c 'mon now. Take with that what you willBetter OptionsRocco 's (excellent)ATL Wings (good)Frog Firkin (decent)"
