    We went a while ago, I'm just now getting around to doing this review: it isn't fresh on my mind but i definitely recommend! If you like spicy ahh chicken.. definitely try this out! Everything was good. I don't have any complaints.. just uh, be careful in preparation for after everything goes through

    Okay so I went to trader Joe's and instead of getting a hamburger or somewhere I decided to try this new chicken place. It's only been there for 2 years. So I ordered the lemon pepper chili sandwich which is like the third hottest but not crazy hot. It has a nice flavor to it but it's really really salty. They said that they make the coleslaw in house which is great and it's pretty tasty. I think the coolest thing is that they actually go from raw chicken to cook chicken when you order. So it might behoove you to order ahead of time or you'll be sitting there waiting for your chicken to cook. The place was empty at 5:47 on a Saturday. Plenty of place to sit very colorful walls but it was freezing. There was no way I could have sat down and ate. So here I am eating in my car and voice texting to you. The chef and the girl who took my order were very nice. I hope I don't get high blood pressure from all this salt.

    Nice clean decor

    Howlin is definitely right!! If this is your first time warning !!!the chicken is heavily seasoned!! Like your first bite of food will be a good layer of seasoning dust before you even get to the meat!! Went in after my Pilates class because now it's time to break the fast and eat!!! Was greeted with a friendly hello. Not too busy for 3:30 pm Monday. Had customers already eating and the food looked good. Ordered their chicken wing meal. Comes with a side. I choose baked beans. Had the sweet mild. The flavor of the season was good. Chicken cooked well. Juicy not dry. But just so much seasoning !! I had dust of seasoning in my lips after a few bites? lol! Next time I will say definitely light on all the shaking !! But the baked beans!!!! That was soooooooo good. And their apple pies!! Like how McDonald used to be. Soooooo good. Not pictures because I devoted the one I ordered. Next time getting 4!!! Definitely will try another side with wings ( less seasoning) for sure.

    This place is 100% no frills. They have chicken fingers - on toast, on a bun, or on a salad. And they are excellent. I had a tender plate with fries and "kinda hot" sauce. I wouldn't even call that mild, but it was very tasty. Give it a try, I think you'll like it too.

    I saw many posts on Instagram about Howlin Willy's Hot Chicken and happened upon this location as I was going to Trader Joe's. Took the opportunity to stop in and share a 3 piece tender meal with macaroni and cheese with my wife as a snack. We tried the sweet heat style which was perfect for us. Not too hot with little sweet. The tenders were fried to perfection!! Not too crisp and juicy inside! Very well seasoned and great for dipping. We tried two different sauces and they added the perfect flavor to our tenders. The Mac and cheese is made daily and I enjoyed that as well. The cheese sauce was great and macaroni noodles were cooked just right. This is not that box brand of Mac and cheese as their sauce hits differently. For dessert we tried a fried apple pie and I absolutely loved this with cinnamon sugar sprinkled over the entire pie. It was hot and good! The woman that served us at the counter was very helpful with recommendations of what to eat and checked on us while we ate. You walk in and order at the counter and they can bring your order to the table. The restaurant is cheerfully decorated and feels very relaxed. I will return here for the fried apple pie as well as trying their chicken sandwich.

    Classic chicken sandwich wth sweet heat flavor and fries.

    Not really welcoming, food extremely underwhelming. The photos online show different foods upon served? (Fries???) not worth at all.

    Great chicken sandwiches if you like spicy chicken. Probably better if you eat in when fresh but both times we took home.

I had the cheesesteak while my friends had the wings and everyone's food came out quickly and everyone enjoyed their meal.

I think Clay's should definitely be considered as a great place to catch a game with some friends!

    4.5 Having had more…read morethan my fair share of dusty food and forced conversation, I texted my friend to beg him to rescue me from my work function and to find a place where we could get a drink. 'I'll do you one better,' he said. 'Say less,' I thought. Being that my buddy knows his way around food, drink and Atlanta (ITP and OTP), I knew I was in good hands. Turns out, we didn't have far to travel. As I was discovering, when in the Atlanta metro, it behooves you to eat as many wings as humanly possible. I'd already had my yearly physical so I was all in. Turns out that Clay's was a well-know, well-trod wings destination so I was psyched for the eating ahead of me. We set up shop on the patio and had a wonderfully delightful server wait on us. I didn't know what I was doing but my buddy did. I let him order and sat back and waited for the bounty. We caught up, laughed and did all the things and the food just kept coming. I knew I was in the right place. We got a basket of fries but made those bad boys Cajun. Do this. I used to live in New Orleans. The Cajun name is warranted. Fries should always be seasoned and/or have stuff on them. Always. Wanting to drink local, I helped myself to a Ginger Treehorn Cider. Served in a can, it had depth, generous bite and enough of a kick to know that the ginger was real and not just marketing. But the star of the show was the wings. A mix of drums and flats, these were not your grocery store chicken wings. These were meaty, larger than the average wing and as good as advertised. We ordered 20 for the two of us. Because he knows me, we maximized our sauces to get the best experience. We went to town on garlic parm, honey bbq, lemon pepper, and hot teriyaki. We.Tore.Them.Up! I had sauce on my fingers, face, hair, shirt, and other places and I.Did.Not.Care! Oh man. I don't usually indulge in wings because I'm afraid to be let down (I've been hurt too many times before). Not here. The night started mid (previous offsite) but ended in a food coma. How he drove me home, I do not know. Very happy to have experienced Clay's.
