Don't listen to other reviews. CRICKETS is literally the best place for wings. Issa classic.

The service is top tier in this place! I'm addicted to the wings!!! Love this place. Please visit if you're in the area!

Fast service with fantastic wings. I would highly recommend this place if you are in the Huntsville area. Their large wing special filled me up and the bbq sauce was wonderful. Next time I'm in town I will be back. read more

This is a hole in the wall that has awesome wings. The wings are small and crispy, but they are perfect. My favourite is the honey gold flavor. My daughter likes teriyaki. Get bacon and cheese on your fries and ranch for dipping. I usually have the medium special with sweet tea. Tea is always good. The service here is excellent. They are always friendly and the food comes out really fast. This place is packed during the dinner hour. I came here for lunch once right when it opened and it filled up quickly. We love supporting local family businesses and would recommend this place to others. read more

Best wings in Madison/Huntsville. Very well priced. Hands down this place is amazing!

Our son went to crickets to pick up some wings and a hamburger after an hour-and-a-half wait they lost our ticket and had to redo the order to compensate they gave us a free hamburger however when we got the 40 Wings home they were burnt overcooked and just terrible when we called they wanted us to bring back the wings and they would replace them not going to happen during the national championship read more

Cricket's - Chicken Wings Near Me - Madison, Alabama

The food is ok. Nothing much for me to write about. The wings can sometimes be over cooked and dry. The fries are a bit greasy and mushy. There is usually a long line and packed so some must really like it. It is a pretty cheap place to eat. read more

Loved their food! I tried their hot wings and they are delicious. Blue cheese dressing is really good! It has pieces of real cheese. French fries are delicious too and great service. read more

I ordered a cheeseburger only, they gave me a hamburger and fries and I paid almost $11. Hamburger was soaked in Mayo- YUCK

I'm a big - huge! - fan of chicken wings. All my friends kept telling me that I had to try Cricket's. We went there for lunch with a group of my work buds - they all acted like they were the best wings on the planet, to me they were just ok. I like my wings big - I don't want to eat a chicken wing that was in its shell a week ago - I want a grown up wing. I didn't have any good sized wings on my plate. The service was good - they took good care to make sure drinks were refilled - bill was divided to make paying easy. I was pretty much disappointed from all the rave I'd heard about Crickets. read more

Visiting Madison, AL for a work training, so I turned to Yelp to find a good hangout restaurant with a sports bar feel. A bit disappointed. There are a couple of small TVs and the outdoor seating is a couple of cheap patio sets in front of the main store entrance. The wings were cooked well, but skimpy on the meat and under sauced. Flavor was fine, but I was looking for a little more robust chicken than the chicklet wings we were served. Our server was polite, but we did seem to wait a bit long for our food (not her fault I'm sure). The burger had good flavor and was cooked well (as advertised), but a couple of times I bit into what seemed like small bone fragments, not just charred pieces of meat. The last straw came when I asked for a to go cup for my soda, and I was told there was a 75¢ charge for this. After my party spent $45 there, I thought I could take a Dr. Pepper with me, but I guess not. We are not planning to return there this week while we are in town. read more

The wings here are so delicious. My husband and I are always on the lookout for some wing places. I can say these by far are the best . They are crunchy and crispy. Definitely didn't disappoint . I got honey gold which had just the perfect amount of sauce. Not smothered. Will recommend !!!! read more

Cricket's is under new management. According to our waitress, the old owners sold it to their cousin(s). Good and bad. Seemed to be more waitresses serving, but food was not as good. My wife and I both had burgers. We shared some wings. The burgers were OK, but wings were NOT well done as requested. We ordered onion rings as an appetizer. Big mistake. The ORs were very greasy and we were unable to eat over half of them for that reason. I mentioned the greasy ORs to both our waitress and the guy at the cash register. No reaction, not even an, "I'm sorry," from either. Will not be back. read more

The chicken was average fried chicken. Small wings and tasted old. The wings had hair on them literally everywhere. Couldn't even eat it because I was grossed out. Expensive for these little hairy wings read more

Of all the places i've eaten wings, this place is by far the best one. There are at times when the wait is a bit long. But if you show up before the place opens youll have a seat. Wing special are great and delicious. My favorite is the medium special hot with sweet tea. They also have other food besides wings, the question is why would you order something else when the wings are delicious. read more

This place is a cheap good local place for wings. As a result it is always busy, and the service comes across as a little slow and chaotic. But let me tell you the wings are definitely worth it. Even with how busy the place is, the wings are cooked to perfection and taste great. We shared a 20 wing 1/2 lemon pepper 1/2 hot. You could taste the lemon and the pepper as individual flavors on the tongue. For my taste "hot" implied a hotter taste, but there are more than enough hotter options on the menu that I suspect I'll select the right level next time. read more

After hearing the hype about "best wings" I had to come here and see what all it was about. The parking for one is not the best around lunchtime. I went around 1 PM, the lunch crowd had just died down and when I walked in I was looking to see if you seat yourself or if you wait at a host stand in which I never did find. Finally someone who worked there asked me if I had a pickup order, once I said no and wanted a menu and wanted to order take out she handed me what looked like some sort of menu you would find on the Fallout games. I sat what they called a bar which did have a tv but all of the surroundings looked horrible. I say this as I worked in the restaurant industry and can notice small things that a lot of people would not. I ordered the hottest wings they had to offer and got them home within 5 minutes. The sauce was not hot.. to me at least. The wings were fairly smaller than what I was hoping considering what I paid for them. I also ordered fries which honestly almost tasted better than the watery sauced wings I had. read more

I had been craving Cricket's for quite some time now. It's one of those things where I was craving Crickets' wings, not just any wings. During this time of craving, I had wings from somewhere else. They didn't do the trick. After finally getting my Cricket's fix, it reaffirmed that they have the - absolute, without a doubt, in my humble opinion - best wings I have ever had. Yes. Not just in Huntsville, or Alabama, or America. Best ever! I go for the large wings special. Now, I have once eaten close to 20 wings but in most cases my eyes are bigger than my stomach. The large special is 12 wings, fries, and a drink. I get my wings hot and at Cricket's, hot is the perfect amount of heat and flavor. They were also perfectly crispy and most of the wings were pretty big. In one word - amazing. I think I could eat at Cricket's once a week. If you're craving great wings, go to Cricket's. read more

Awesome wings. Took away a star for their seating arrangements. It's VERY disorganized.

AMAZING BUFFALO WINGS!!! Some of the reviews are very misleading, I feel. This restaurant serves authentic Buffalo Wings, the way they are meant to be cooked! I grew up just outside of Buffalo, New York. The wings are SUPPOSED to be smaller and cooked to a good crisp. Real Buffalo wings are NOT huge wings that are slimy and dripping in sauce. That is left for the chain restaurants that have no clue about the real thing. Cricket's doesn't have the best atmosphere, can get quite busy, needs to give out more Celery and blue cheese, and have a better beer selection BUT THE AUTHENTIC WINGS MAKES THIS PLACE AMAZING!!!! We will definitely be back many times over! read more

Good burgers and decent wings. Burgers- lots of variety and the wings are average. Personally they are a little small to me, sauces are average. The habanero are great if you like hot. I do. Lunch specials every day which is not a bad deal. Quick, easy and overall good, worth the visit. read more

Crispy wings, mild sauce that has the right heat, and burgers that are huge. Great place!! Weekday lunches it gets packed quick so plan accordingly. read more

Unfortunately, there just aren't any good restaurants in Huntsville for buffalo wings. This place is incredibly inconsistent. They make a lot of wings. Some days - the quality is good and others, it is worse than AWFUL. After years of going here, I'm finally sick of being disappointed. The last three trips were miserable, so I'm done eating here. I gave it 2 stars because I was a loyal fan for many years, and I wish they could turn it around. Unfortunately, the quality here has run amuck. read more

We were visiting from out of town and came with friends who are regulars. I loved the family-feel and how the wait staff seemed to know everyone. Our waitress was very busy, but gave us frequent updates on our food. Would definitely visit again if I was in town. Loved my salad too. The meat was very well seasoned. Husband's cheese fries were super tasty too. read more

Cricket's - The steak salad! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Madison, Alabama

Best wings in town. Staff very friendly and polite. My favorite is the extra hot wings with habanero on the side.

Holy chilled chicken batman!!! I saw this on a quick search and almost didn't make the stop. Am I ever glad that I did! This place makes hot wings EXACTLY how I like them and using the best sauce possible (It tastes like Louisiana Hot Sauce). The wings were perfectly cooked and covered in sauce. I ordered a medium combo, which is 8 wings, fried, and a drink...I wasn't sure I'd like them. Now I'm wishing I ordered the large with 12 wings. The fries were good too. The atmosphere is laid back and there's families and couples, young and old, sitting all over. read more

WINGS FLAVORS- This is probably what most people care about so here you go. Im only giving you the different hot flavors because if your not getting one of those then whats the point. MILD- Literally almost naked chicken wings. no heat at all. kinda lacking in flavor. HOT-This will be most peoples choice. Not as hot as most hot level wings. The flavor is the best, and has a kick of heat at the end. This flavor will not over heat your mouth and force you to take a break. EXTRA HOT- Don't be intimidated by the name. This is about the average heat for hot wings. These wings are identified by a small piece of white onion on top of one of the wings. This is so they don't get mixed up with hot flavored wings. I get these wings when i'm craving a little extra heat. It sacrifices a little bit of flavor but if you like your wings legitimately hot these are for you. If your too afraid to sacrifice your lunch on wings that are too hot for you, you can always mix your wing flavors with any combination that you want. OTHER FLAVORS- Assortment of the average non buffalo wing lover flavors. There are around 4 of these and honestly i don't know them. Don't waste your time First things first. The wings themselves are the best i have ever had. If this review was purely on the wings it would be a six for emphases. I have gotten the the burger and ribs before and all I could think the whole time was whats the point. Its not that there other food isn't good. Its that there wings are so good that they haunt you while you eat that burger. The aesthetics of crickets are...well its kind of a hole in the wall. But you almost cant tell because its always packed with people getting their wing fix on. They serve a limited amount of beer and wine as well. The seating consists of a small "bar", tables, and booths. There is also outside seating (plastic chairs and tables). The best thing to do is order carry out and enjoy in your own home. This way you can enjoy your wings in the animalistic way that your too embarrassed to do in public. read more

Awful... Wings were burnt to the point that the bones were brittle. Then covered in a horrible tasting sauce. My fries were basically bottom of the bag, leftover shake pieces. My tea was not fresh at all. Tasted like it had definitely been sitting around awhile. I most certainly won't be eating at this joint again... Yuk read more

This is my favorite place to get wings. The service is always great & the food is always good

Would be a good place for lunch if you didn't have to wait 30 minutes to sit down every time. No idea why this place is as popular as it is. The long and short of it: 1. Waiting. There will be a long wait. There always is. Mars it hard to do for a working lunch. 2. Lunch Special. $10 will get you 12 wings, fries and a drink which is solid. 3. Wings. The wings are good, not great. They're small but flavorful. The extra hot sauce is actually pretty spicy. It's your regular wing and burger place that's extremely popular for some reason. Nothing new here. Overall Grade: C read more

I came for lunch time, between 1 and 2. I knew they closed at 2 and re-open at 5, which is weird and inconvenient, but I didn't realize they tried to run customers off if they came in the last hour they were open. One employee wasted about 2 minutes asking if the kitchen was closed, only to return to say that they were accepting to go orders only. I traveled from South Huntsville to try this place, so I decided to make my order to go and eat outside. Halfway through my meal, I ran out of drink because their to go cups are smaller than practical. I got the medium wing combo, jerk flavored (dry). If my mouth wasn't dry from the lack of drink, I probably would have enjoyed this. Now I have to buy another drink somewhere else and throw away the rest of my food. If you want to try this place, show up when they first open. Any time later, and you will regret coming. read more

Always great service, with hot, fast food. Jen, Erin, and Sarah always serve with a smile and keep your drinks filled. Whether you want wings or just a friendly meal, Cricket's is the place to be. read more

I've been to Crickets multiple times over the past two years. The wings are always tasty but really small. The size of the wings compared to the high cost and limited seating makes this location not desirable. They get the second star for taste but lose 3 for high-cost and small wings. read more

Ok, let me just state, after living here in Madison and hearing about this place I'm asking one thing. Why did we wait so long to go eat here? Just go! Best wings in AL so far. read more

Awesome buffalo wings, super crispy even though I did take out. I got hot but I think I could have gotten the extra hot. Definitely good with beer! read more

Cricket's - Chicken Wings Near Me - Madison, Alabama

Terribly slow!! I made a call in order and it took over an hour. I showed up and waited another 20 mins and they still didn't have it ready. Don't waste you're time if you're in a hurry. Terrible service and experience all around. Would not go back or recommend to anyone locally. read more

Top quality wings and burgers. Be sure to get there right before 11 or wait until 12 because the seats get filled quickly. The wings are the main draw. The lunch special comes in regular or large (8 or 12 wings) along with fries and a drink. Wings can be ordered in about 5 or 6 flavors. You can't really go wrong with any of the flavors. Food comes out quick and you pay at the counter up front which is nice when you only have a set amount of time for lunch and can't wait around. read more

Crickets has the best chicken wings around. They cook their wings at extremely high temperatures, which allows the wings to get a good crispy finish on the outside while maintaining the tender juicy meat inside. The sauce is very similar to Frank's hot sauce, and is a perfect compliment to the crispy-fried wings. I've tried Wings all around the state, and Crickets has everyone beat hands-down. Fast service and good food make for a great combo! If you're going during rush hours though, be prepared to wait. Crickets "hole-in-the-wall" location is what really makes it special. However it also has limited seating and fills up quickly at lunch. If you're going for lunch, be there when the doors open at 11:00a.m. or be prepared to wait until the main lunch rush is over. Great food though, and absolutely worth the wait! Good burgers too! read more

A small restaurant tucked off Sullivan Street, Crickets takes no pride in presentation. Its plastic outdoor seating, gingham table cloth indoor seating, and clandestine restroom closet are proof that a good restaurant doesn't need ambiance and atmosphere. What a good restaurant needs is good food. And when it comes to wings, it doesn't get any better than Crickets in Madison. Consistent to the last drop, Crickets serves a copious blend of legs and flappers slathered in a rich buttery sauce that will make your head spin and your heart pound just a little harder. Fried generously on the outside, the wings retain their moisture - unlike some restaurants that overcook or recook their wings - to give you a consummate crunch followed by a warm trickle of juices that remind you of autumn and football, friendships and laughter. Crickets also serves burgers and sandwiches for those who wish to order something other than wings. They open at 11:00 AM, but it's best to show up beforehand to get seating. read more

Above-average wing joint. Only complaint is the wings are a little small, but everything else is excellent. Quality service and priced well. Regarding the guy complaining about the number of TV's and the patio furniture, you should have done a little better research. I'm pretty sure they don't market themselves as a sports bar. They are a wing and burger joint and do that well. There are places much more suitable for your need nearby. read more
