Okay so hear me out. Fat Ole Bird is absolutely NOT what I was expecting, but I was very very very pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Nashville Wings x2 and Fries, expecting the wings to be similar to Nashville hot chicken, but wings style. I am not sure what happened, but I did not get an ounce of Nashville-y flavor on the wings. They straight up tasted like fried chicken. The fries were plentiful and good, my food was prepared and delivered so quickly that the uber eats guy surprised me when he showed up, and my food was still really hot. The meal comes with ranch and a decent amount of ketchup packets.
That being said, even though the wings did not taste an ounce like Nashville chicken....THE WINGS WERE FREAKING DELICIOUS. I mean holy shit you all, they were large, so moist and juicy, with a nice fried layer on the outside. Normally, if I had gotten this kind of result from another spot (no real Nashville chicken flavor on a "Nashville Chicken" menu item), I would be reluctant to rate them above a 3, but when I tell you that I could not get enough of the wings, I'm speaking facts. They're some of the best wings I've ordered since moving to Houston.
5/5 recommend if you're looking for some incredibly delicious wings. Just know if you order the Nashville wings, they are not going to be Nashville hot chicken-like (which is why I rated 4/5). However, they're going to be some of the best wings you'll get.
