Chicken is ok... a decent size and not overly big and steroidish. The sauces ... umm you have to mixed to get something great. I've had them 3x.. i would got back but they're not my first choice.. OH and they're hella busy all the time. read more

Lunch time coaxed me to Crickets for a good (non fast food) burger and that's exactly what I got. The Jumbo beefy awesomeness of crickets burgers is what the crowd should be about. For critics sake I tried the wings and I was not impressed. People rave about their wings but they were petrified in the fryer. I need a dentist stat!!! Get this dried out chicken from my choppers. I ordered the Jalepeno Jack burger and the server (owners wife) warned me "it's hot do you really want it"? ... I ordered it did t I! Yes it was hot and oh yes it was good, I asked for medium rare and that's how it came out. Super terrific too bad I didn't like the wings. read more

Delicious wings. Pretty good service. The place is always busy when they are open. My daughter loves the lemon pepper

Best lemon pepper chicken wings in Huntsville. Enjoy. Don't be the last to know. Happy trails.

I can see why Cricket's is busy! We did takeout and the food was amazing. The wings and onion rings were top notch!

I wanted something different but they was out. How can they be out I mean really. The very professional and sweet waitress gave me great input on a burger, that was absolutely delicious. This is my first 5 star I don't give them out easy but this place was great read more

Cricket's - Cover of menu - Chicken Wings Near Me - Madison, Alabama

It's the classic wing spot in Madison. It's a small hole in the wall but it's definitely packed during printing lunch hours. I always come and get the medium wing special. 8 wings with a sweet tea! I like the wings here because they are super crunchy and hot levels are the perfect amount of heat for me. Some may say the wings are smaller but that's a trade off of size and crispyness that I'm willing to make!!! Definitely hits the spot and the best wings in town!!! read more

Was visiting the Madison area and had a taste for wings. Read the reviews and decided to give it a try. Ordered the large wings daily special, lemon pepper and a side of fried pickles. These wings were OMG delicious. The large daily special comes with 12 wings, fries and tea. The wings were fried to perfection and seasoned just right. The fries were ok, the pickles were not good, soggy and no taste whatsoever. If I'm in the area again I will definitely make this my go to wing spot. read more

Best wings in HSV! Been coming here for 20 years. Same great wings and same great service.

Best wings in the Huntsville/Madison area. Order them with the hot/honey gold sauce. Cheese fries are solid too

You'll see a broad spectrum of reviews with Cricket's. Overall, they are my favorite wings in town. I like a slightly-smaller, crispier wing, and these guys nail it. Now if THAT description is not your thing, than you're experience probably won't be as good as mine always is. It's usually always busy, so be prepared for that. Knock 1 star for price. Individual wing prices average out to almost a dollar wing, which sucks. But as long as they still keep making their wings irresistible, I will still be coming. read more

SCAM ALERT!.....party of 4- food was ok, nothing great- chicken sandwich was overdone, chili was bland, burger was good. Service was great- order done right and refilled drinks. Here's the bad part- EVERY ITEM on the bill had increased prices vice what the menu had (and the online menu) some as much as $7 more. When I brought it up at the register I was told, "oh yes, our prices increased a month ago and we have not got new menus yet" A MONTH ago? Are you kidding me??? Why didn't the hostess, server, or manager mention that to us when we were seated- not at checkout when I questioned it. Not the right way to run a business- I will not be back read more

Awesome wings, great service!!! Better get there when the doors open. Been going there for years and have been excellent every time!

My father had a rude run-in with the owner and has never returned after years of being a regular. Turned me off for several years after that. My grandson recently brought home wings and they were good. I just feel a owner should have a bit more people skills especially with an elderly gentleman. read more

Had crickets a couple weeks back, I heard they had good wings and they did not disappoint. I got the traditional wings. They were very crispy and cooked perfect. read more

I've been here twice in the past couple months and I think its the best wings in Huntsville. The wings have been consistently good. The size of the wings are regular and super crispy and crunchy, just the way I like them. I recommend getting both the Hot and Lemon Pepper sauce on the wings. And the hot isn't too burning hot, just the right amount of bearable heat to enjoy. The fries are just average, but good enough to go with the wings. The staff is friendly. The place is always packed when I go but I always happen to find an open seat. I noticed that a lot of people come in for pick up orders. read more

Consistently great wings with reasonable prices and friendly service. By far my favorite place for wings.

I went to Crickets for the first time because of the reviews. I noticed everyone was having wings. They have a "special" 12 wings, fries and tea for $12.49. I think that is kinda high for a special. Kids meals for less than $5 is not bad. I ordered extra hot wings and BBQ "special". The wings came out lined up in two rows with the sauce poured on one side and not tossed. So the sauce was only one one side. I thought that was strange. It really is a poor idea because they are not coated. They don't brine the wings because almost all of them had dark blood veins when you bit into the over cooked wings. I won't be going back because there are much better locations for quality wings. I have two stars because service was good and fast. That's where it stopped. read more

Do not I repeat do not eat here. Save your money. Gross disgusting nasty. I cant describe with words how bad the wings were. Wings were dry and way overcooked. Asked if they would put some sauce on them and they barely put any still. The meat was so overcooked that it was like biting into bone on most of them. Way overpriced for such poor quality. Best thing I had was the sweet tea and Celery which isn't cooked. Avoid this place at all costs. 50 bucks for 3 people and then you can't even eat it. Do not I repeat do not eat here. Save your money. Gross disgusting nasty. I cant describe with words how bad the wings were. read more

Great food I'd highly recommend this family business. If you plan on dining in get there early because business is always booming

I just had a terrible experience here and the personnel absolutely did not care. I called in the order and was quoted 20-25 minutes. I came in about 28-29 minutes and the order was not ready. Actually the gentleman said he didn't see the order. They eventually found it but then I waited another 25 minutes. We asked a couple of the customers that were coming in and all of them only had to wait 20-25 minutes. The gentleman continued to avoid eye contact with me. An hour later, my order comes out and I pay. They comp'd my mozzarella sticks for the issues after I asked how they plan to make this right. After I pay, I find out that my complete order was not actually ready so I had to wait on another item. The gentleman checks the food and when we are putting the food back in the bag, the mozzarella sticks topples over and opens with them falling on the counter. He then picks them up and sticks them back in the box and in the bag like no big deal. These people won't be getting another penny from me. When I asked about why it took so long, the lady that took the order comes up either excuses that they are busy and have customers in the dining room. If this is the truth, then the other customers should have waited an hour as well but I confirmed with them that was not the case. Beware of the lackadaisical attitude! read more

If you like your wings crispy,this place is for you also, if you like your wings tiny- it's perfect. Let's not forget if you like them over cooked -very dry, this is the bomb for you. For me -puney wings are terrible. I'll not be back -too small -over cooked -no sauce -and one stick of celery is embarrassing. Folks in this neighborhood must really be Jonesing for wings -because these are stiff. read more

Great food great service the inside crowded but everything make up for it 5 stars yeehaaaa

Best wings in town so far. Service is fast and gives a home town vibe when you go in. Like a little cafe type of place.

It was ok, service was very good and they were very safe which I liked. The food was ok. Fries were burnt and oily over crisp. I hat the habanero chicken sandwich. The tastes where good but the bread was like store bought and the chicken was really fatty and stringy. Probably just the piece I got, I'll try it again I'm sure and get something else and report back read more

This place is Great. Crispy, hot out of the basket, chicken wings. Menu has about twenty-five items, but difficult to have something other than the chicken. Service was very fast, nice staff, cannot wait to go back. Extremely busy place. read more

Cricket's - 12 piece wing special - Chicken Wings Near Me - Madison, Alabama

First time. Fried mushroom fried pickles and gyoza. Decent but the grease seemed like it needed to be changed. I wouldn't mind eating there again. Everyone deserves second chances read more

The wings. Only the wings. They are so good and the service is fast and they never disappoint for me. I recommend getting lemon pepper with mostly flats fried hard with ranch. They need some help with their fries because they can be a little soggy but besides that grade A chicken wings. read more

Wings can be super small sometimes. Cramped dining area. Wait staff is overworked and overwhelmed sometimes, especially if it's busy. Friendly though. If the wings were larger I'd give it a better review. The past few times they have been tiny and over cooked. read more

Delicious as always. Best wings around. I had teriyaki and hot wings. My order was accurate and pick up was easy.

I've been to this restaurant multiple times, and each time something is wrong. Charging extra for extra crispy or extra wet is absurd. The sweet tea gets a tablespoon of sugar so it's never good. I get the large special each time and only 6 of my wings have sauce or all 10 pieces have sauce on ONE HAKF OF EACH WING. If it's busy and you have a Togo order be ready to wait 40 minutes because the kitchen is absolutely terrible at pacing tickets which causes everyone to wait even longer. They cover the losfrr frues to the fullest which is good, but the paper under the fries gets 69% of that gooey goodness so it's honestly a waste to order. As someone who worked in a restaurant, these wings are extremely basic, dry, not creative, unseasoned and sad to look at. All the sauces are most likely bottled and not made in house. And after 7 years they still only have one cash register, factor that into the service and this should be a one star, but I'm nice. read more

The best wings in town. Great daily specials. Really great service. If your looking for a quick lunch arrive by 11 to ensure a seat with no wait. read more

Absolutely not what I was expecting, but WOW. The food is delicious. My boyfriend had been raving about this place any time wings were brought up, so obviously we made a point to visit before we left town again. It's hole-in-the-wall southern food and the wings steal the show. This place is jumping so be prepared to wait for service or take it to go. Very homey feel with old yearbook photos all over the walls. Great wings, great price. read more

Best wings in Madison. I've been eating at Crickets for over 20 years now and they've never changed (in a good way!). I recently brought a friend to Crickets, told him to put down the menu and just order the wing special, hot with ranch. It didn't disappoint. read more

I'm from Miami, FL. Wing places are everywhere, so I was skeptical when my buddy Adam brought me here while visiting, but I must say I enjoyed the Jerk wings. Had a few beers, very nice spot, and amazing prices. Very cheap, something I'm not use to back home. A lot of football fans were in attendance. War eagle! read more

Cricket's - Naked pig brewsky - Chicken Wings Near Me - Madison, Alabama

Normally Cricket's is a go to on my teacher workdays. I'm a massive fan of honey gold sauce, so anywhere I can find it, I get it. I used Grubsouth and ordered the 3 pc. chicken tender special with a side of honey gold and ranch sauce. I'm normally a boneless wing girl, but I wanted to branch out to the tenders. The tenders were extremely overcooked and tough. They tasted like they had been frozen previously and reminded me of Tyson's frozen chicken fingers...actually, they reminded me more of the chicken tenders you would get in the early 2000s from the school cafeteria. I could have made it past the dryness and the taste IF they included the honey gold sauce that I paid for. They included the additional ranch, but not my sweet, sweet honey gold. Next time, if I want chicken tenders, I'll go to tenders. Bottom line, stick with wings here, and avoid the tenders, or you will be having flashbacks to your high school lunchroom experiences. PS. Yes, I know the Grubsouth deliverer should have checked, BUT if you've ever been at Cricket's during the lunch rush, then you would understand that the line is out the door and it can be a stressful environment to find a spot to check the food. Plus the Grubsouth person would have to open the food containers to find the extra sauce, which I'm thankful they don't do. read more

A well known wing place in Madison for years and haven't been in a few years so thought we'd try it, the place is nothing at all fancy and needs a major update inside. The place was clean just cold looking and dated. Now to the wings, I ordered the hottest they have, habanero and they were hot! Probably near the hottest wings I've ever had, they were cooked well and had great taste though. The bad, they were very small, I don't like huge wings but these were undersized, the service was really good and the place was full, the prices are good too. read more

Hands down the best bacon cheese burger I have ever had. No doubt the best burger in north Alabama. Wings are also great. Try the onion rings, you won't be disappointed! read more
