I’ve seen this place a few times and decided to try it. I’d definitely recommend calling ahead. There weren’t many people there but there was still a wait. I ordered 2 meals but they cooked them one at a time as if they were separate orders. The first order got cold waiting for the second order to cook. I’m not sure what kind of chickens made these little wings. They definitely aren’t worth the price.

The food is not at all good I bought the polish combo with the wings 18.54 plus rax and a beef wrap 5.15 plus tax. I waited about 10 minutes but the polish was dried out like it had been cooked days ago and the sauce was very sugary not good because of my diabetes.  The wrap was ok but the sauce was sugary also. The wings was dried out and very small also the texture of the meat was like it was cooked or warmed up before.

The best part of the experience was the service. The cashier was incredibly helpful in describing the signature sauces. Everything is cooked to order so the 25 minute wait was to be expected. Unfortunately, the wings were lack luster at best. I don't know that I've seen chicken wings as small as those served here. The catch fries...lacked flavor, nothing special at all. We ordered the dry lemon pepper, mild lemon pepper and passion. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place and certainly don't get the "best wings in t-town" reviews.

Ordered take out to be picked up after 5 for a small event at the Weaver-Bolden Library. Customer service was top notch. So helpful, she went out of her way to make it happen. The patrons at the event loved the wings. They said that they were delicious. My only - would be that the wings were really tiny. I probably should have ordered more.

Update!
Basically the same experience. The food was different, but I had the same opinion. It is good, but the price is high for what it is. I tried the passion wings, and catch fries, both were good. Pretty sure everything they sell is good. The service was on the slow side, but the food was fresh and hot. Overall it was a pleasant experience, just a little on the high side in my opinion. Also the sausage was perfectly cooked.

Original:
Food was good, but our polish sausage was a little over cooked. The ground beef and sauce were excellent, the bread fresh. The fries were nothing special, just typical frozen mass market crinkle cut fries. The drink selection was not good, but my wife enjoyed the exotic punch drink. You place your order next to the kitchen that is very loud so it is difficult to understand things. The polish sausage was very good though overall, if it was cheaper I would have given the restaurant 5 stars. $12 for some Hawaiian Punch, a serving of fries, and polish sausage is a lot, unless it is perfect. The staff was nice and the restaurant clean. My wife had the honey BBQ wings and they were pretty good as well. Just a polish sausage is $10 so it is a bit much.
