    Business card says only open Tuesday but they were open Fridays too.
    Allie L.

    On our annual trip to float the Frio, I was looking for something we hadn't tried before. Read the reviews and saw they were only open 2 days a week and set our calendar to call when they opened. Couldn't get through but we were staying nearby so I just drove over and checked it out as soon as they opened. There was already a small line and this place is the definition of hole in the wall... two ramshackle shacks next to a house right on the highway. Super rustic cute decor with picnic tables in front and an even bigger shaded area in back that may or may not be open to diners... sort of like an outdoor barn picnic. Wild and domesticated mammals and fowl wander the property and there is not much of a parking lot, but the service was friendly and I was behind someone who'd ordered 40+ pieces! I asked about ordering ahead, and was assured they would hold some chicken for me. We found a swimming hole since the Frio was so dry and low that it wasn't floatable... finished early and were happy to find that we could bump up our pickup time. Took about 25 mins but the chicken was hot, fresh, crispy and delicious. It was seasoned nicely and tasted like grandma's fired chicken. The potato salad and green beans were good accompaniments. Glad we tried it and enjoyed it but wouldn't go far out of our way or stay an extra day or anything. It was so stinking hot, we took it back to our air conditioned home & decided this would be a great place to pull up to in the fall or spring--sit back and enjoy the scenery.

    Wow!!!  Only open 2 days a week but totally worth it.

    Wow! I mean there are small mom and pop shops that make great food but this is over the top! My daughter got some for lunch and gave me a bite. I jumped in the car and got more as fast as possible! This is grandma's chicken you had many years ago. If you are any where near this place you need to get there and buy some. Sadly only open 2 days a week but when you are that good it is worth it to wait.

    They have reopened June 2017!  Open Tuesday & Friday.

    Super awesome wing place! first time coming and the wings were so good. I got lemon pepper and…read morehoney bbq with their loaded fries (i asked for no ranch). We went when it wasn't super busy so wings and fries came out at the same time. super nice and hot! they brought over napkins for us too when the food came out. It's definitely a nice family friendly restaurant if your kids are into wings. They have plenty of seating but it isn't a bar restaurant so no need for drama here.

    We were excited to try 6ixtt Wings and had mixed feelings about the experience…read more We ordered the Signature Combo with boneless wings in Indian Style and Spicy Garlic Parmesan flavors. The Indian Style wings were flavorful and definitely packed some heat, which I enjoyed. The Garlic Parmesan had a noticeable sourness that wasn't quite to my liking. The loaded fries that came with the combo were actually one of the highlights of the meal and tasted great. The Signature Combo at $19.99 felt reasonably priced, but I was surprised by the fountain drink serving. The drink came in a very small red plastic cup without a lid, which felt more like a sample cup than a standard fountain drink size offered at most restaurants. We also tried the Chicken Burger for $14.99. While it tasted okay, it was probably the most expensive chicken burger I've purchased for what was offered. The quality and portion didn't justify the price in my opinion. Overall, the fries and wings were decent enough, but there are a few areas that could be improved, especially the drink service and burger value. I'd give it 3 stars and would consider returning mainly for the wings and loaded fries.

Similar to a nice restaurant and making reservations, I…read morehighly recommend planning ahead and ordering ahead as everything is truly made fresh to order and if you love wings, you know these orders are 20 to 50 wings at a time. The owner and his family are amazing people in the community and I've always appreciated the way they run their business. Guess forward and employee focus focused. Highly recommend all of their flavors, especially the garlic Parmesan and funnel cake. Anything hot is always delicious but it's nice to do something different from time to time. Also their wings are significantly larger than most places.

The service was very nice and helpful, the lady who we ordered from even told us the most popular wings as well as her favorites. The wings were cooked perfectly and the flavors were fantastic. I ordered 4 of the original buffalo just to get a baseline of their take on the classic flavor and I'd have to say this was not my favorite. Although the other two flavors I got were delicious. The decor on the walls are cool pictures of the owner and also showcased a lot of the awards the place has won. Overall I enjoyed the Wings!
