This is the best kept secret for wings in all of Orange County! Every time we've been here, the service is top notch! The team is super kind, willing to answer questions and provides a great atmosphere. On my recent visit, although they have screens to order from, the young lady asking questions was asking if anyone needed help and provided some recommendations on the menu. We love that the wings are baked instead of fried! A little more healthy and don't leave you with that gross greasy feeling afterwards. Our favorites are: - Big B's Hot Honey - Dirty Buffalo - Garlic Toast - Cole Slaw Everything is made to order and absolutely FIRE! The family 20 piece meal is the go to and fills us up! Definitely go out of your way to check this place out! read more

Came here because of Yelp, and this place did not disappoint! If you're looking for some good old-fashioned wings, this is the spot. We loved every flavor we tried, and they even had plain wings for our young son, which was a huge plus. What really made the experience stand out was our server. I didn't catch his name, but he was working around 6:30 PM tonight. He was hustling the entire time, incredibly polite, and provided excellent service. We'll definitely be back! read more

A former UFC fighter is cooking up literally THE best wings I've ever had, and I bet you can't even tell these are baked, not fried! Born out of his love for tiny finger foods to bring to get-togethers, Christian has been perfecting his recipes until he opened JD's Wingz in 2021, and you can seriously taste the love he pours into everything here, from the food to the customer service. The Big B's hot honey flavor came highly recommended, and I can totally see why. Their Bombz are their version of "boneless wings". It's kind of like a chicken meatball? but in my opinion, much better than dinky "chicken nuggets" XD You cannot miss out on their world famous garlic pull apart bread--this is sooo soft and garlicky. Bruv, I'm even blown away by the coleslaw they make in-house. Their deals, enthusiasm, and their special menu item "My GF isn't hungry" definitely make this great little wings spot my happy place. Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more

All we have to say is WOW! We are on this side of town because my son has a tournament here, after his game we decided to google wings in the area and it led me to this hidden GEM!

Whats even more cool is that a former UFC fighter opened this spot! Definitely making the drive out here again! Keep it up! read more

Up there with my favorite wings. The dirty buffalo sauce was delicious I was unable to try other dishes because I was driving by but ate already, but still had to try some wings... FAVORITE NEW WING SPOT read more

Back again. And soooo worth it. Daniel aka Bowie was super nice and made our order perfectly! They installed new kiosks for ordering and can use online ordering. Loaded up on the seasoning for dry rub and homemade ranch/blue cheese. Cannot recommend JD's wings enough! I mean the wings are the most succulent pieces of chicken. I have reviewed them before but had to do it again, because 'Bowie' was so nice and we love the wings and those tots so much! Don't miss this spot if you're in the area! read more

food is goated and place is pretty nice staff is friendly and helpful, food takes a little while to get but that's because usually there is only one worker on a normal day. read more

PARKING (4/5): Small plaza, seems like there is always parking. FOOD (3/5): $22 WINGS COMBO 7-PIECE (2 flavors, 1 side, 1 dip, 1 soda): I saw photos on Yelp of wings with real garlic pieces so I ordered the only flavor on the menu with garlic in the name "GARLIC PARMESAN" but it was not the same, it was a powder, it was good, just wanted actual garlic pieces. Maybe they don't sell that flavor anymore? The second flavor I got was "MANGO HABANERO", both were average to me. I didn't know the wings already come with veggies (carrots & celery) so I ordered veggies as my side and got 2 sets of veggies. Don't make my mistake. SERVICE (4/5): If you order ONLINE, it didn't explain what the flavors are. Most of them are self explanatory but a few are just made up names so you really have no idea what flavor it is. They also don't tell you that veggie sticks already come free with the wings order, so don't waste that as your side! Unless you want double. The order said it would take 15-20 minutes and took exactly that! They packed it in the absolutely biggest blue bag I've ever seen for a food order in my life LOL! I feel like it was a trash bag? No napkins. Servers were extremely nice & greeted every customer as they walked in. OVERALL (3.5/5): Since it was my first time ordering from here I made a lot of mistakes. But I'd obviously do it differently next time. Not sure I'd order from here again, it was good, just not enough to make me come back. read more

Let me just say... this is a big statement for me... these are the best wings that I've had. Jerry was killer on the service. Let us try a couple flavors (which no one does ) and that's how we settled on garlic Parmesan, lemon pepper, big bees, hot honey, and creole barbecue! This place is freaking killer. Their wings are awesome. I highly recommend and thank you Jerry for the service. !! read more

I went here a few times two years ago in middle school. One of the best chicken places I've ever been to. I mean, I think you gotta look at the reviews, it's no joke. I still remember the experience vividly with my friends. We wanted to try different chicken flavors, and the owner threw in an extra one for free just cause he was happy that we were hanging out. This is the one place where that I think deserves every 5 star review out there. If you doubt it, just come and try for yourself! Anyways, about the chicken. That's flavor lingering on my tastebuds for years. I don't remember exactly how it tasted, but all I remember is it being good. read more

JD's Wings is so good! The wings are delicious, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Great food, great service, and definitely a spot worth checking out. Highly recommend! read more

Wings ware really good crunch and juicy mango habanero were really spicy but verey tasty

Everything from walking in the door and being greeted by their only worker that I saw was a young lady Stewart short and statue but very sweet and very accommodating in let me explain why! My first time here have a $25 coupon that they sent out to people in the neighborhood to come in and try their wings try anything on their menu for $25 no strings attached! So I did and I got two different flavors they have a lot of different flavors and different levels of heat! I got the medium level and trust me the medium level I think it was called honey sauce and it is plenty spicy oh my God I was sweating bullets! Then the other sauce I got was teriyaki very good very sweet the wings are giant and they're fresh and they're juicy not a dry Wing that's for sure but you can get dry without sauce if you want! I got the veggies as a side and I got a ton of really nice carrot sticks and celery and blue cheese for dipping! I saw some young man on the next table one of them had tater tots went the other one had coleslaw and they both were devouring them! And then I got their water which was an electrolyte water made by acai I was very impressed with their location is tiny and it's hard to find and it's in the back! But I'll definitely be back. She came out asked me if everything was okay I told her yes everything was very good that second level was spicy just like she said and she offered to bring me in fresh cup of ice with water and I accepted and when it was time for a little to go container and some a bag to put it into that was also available! At the same time they also have Pac-Man machines and Ms Pac-Man machines for free for people to just play while they're there! My meal was nine wings a side and a drink and it was $22.75 plus tax. It was such a nice portion that I end up taking three wings home and half of the veggies. And I am no small eater plenty of people were taking wings home. These guys really know what they're doing it's a baked wing it is not fried. In fact they're five year anniversaries coming up and it looks like it's going to be a packed house on September 26th from 11:00 in the morning till 10:00 p.m. and they're going to have music and actually Ice Cube will be there. Apparently for the first 50 people they're giving away gift cards and specials etc so don't miss it 50% off on all their wings that day. While it was 108°outside I felt sorry for that worker I can't imagine how hot it was in the back where she's cooking cuz it was a little on the warm side in the restaurant that's the only downside but that's not their fault imagine how hot it is outside. read more

JD's Wingz & Thingz - Yummy yummy did I mention yummy wings! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Placentia, California

Great spot for wings! The OG hot was my favorite. We liked that it was baked, couldn't tell it was. The music is nostalgic of 90s-early 2000s hip hop which was cool. read more

This spot is a straight gem. We came through JD Wings and ordered the OG Hot, Lemon Pepper, and Dirty Buffalo, and every single flavor hit. First time ever having baked wings instead of fried and honestly... I might be converted. Crispy, flavorful, and not greasy at all -- you can actually taste the seasoning and sauce instead of just oil. The Texas toast deserves its own shoutout -- buttery, toasted perfectly, and the perfect wing sidekick. What really sealed it for us was the vibe. Super chill, easy to hang out in, and not stressful at all. I've got little kids and they absolutely loved it, which says a lot. It's one of those places where you can actually relax, enjoy your food, and not feel rushed or out of place with a family. Food is amazing, the concept is different (in a good way), and the atmosphere is welcoming. If you're in or around Placentia and love wings, this place is a must. We'll 100% be back. read more

JD's Wingz & Thingz has that cool, local neighborhood vibe -- laid-back, young, and all about good comfort food eats. Plenty of tables inside and a few outside, so whether you're rolling in with friends or flying solo, you'll feel right at home. We went for the OG Wings (classic and delicious!), the Creole Wings ( seriously good kick with that just-right spice), and the Honey BBQ Wings -- perfect sweet balance to round it all out. Overall, JD'z has definitely leveled up! The staff are cool and snappy peeps! and It's one of those reliable local spots we'll always come back to when that wings craving hits. read more

The food was really good and the service was awesome, the ambience was nice and decorative different. I liked it.

I ordered take out and they missed my request for the veggie sides, but did give me a lot of extra ranch and blue cheese sauces so that evened it out for me. Wings - 3/5, the Dirty buffalo sauce (buffalo with lemon pepper) was really tasty! I wish it were slightly more spicy, but great flavor overall. The wings and drumsticks were very tender and large. My only complaint is the cartilage was too chewy and tough for me to actually eat. I don't usually have that issue so it was surprising. Ranch - 5/5, very solid sauce for wings Blue cheese - 4/5, not bad but I like a stronger blue cheese flavor Pull apart garlic bread - 1/5, the bread was way too gummy and dense. The texture was marginally better after I put it in the toaster oven, but it's kind of expensive for what was is. read more

Service was good, prices were reasonable if not amazing. Had a variety of flavors but nothing that really stood out. I'm glad it was baked, so it's healthier than other fried wing options. But overall, just kind of meh. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. My wife thought they lacked flavor, so not coming back. read more

I picked the worst possible day to try out JD's Wings & Thingz... on SUPERBOWL SUNDAY! I walked in and there were at least 20 boxes of wings waiting to be picked up and I could see that the guys in the back were still super busy. But you know what? I went up to the register and asked if I was crazy to place an order for five wings. She checked with the guys in back and said they could squeeze my order in and have it ready in five to ten minutes. How's that for service?! There are a few kiosks for ordering and I just went with standard buffalo sauce which is usually my go to, especially when trying a new place. It looks like they have 14 different flavors with a mix of mostly wet but some dry rubs too, so there is something for everybody. They also have some special deals for students. There are a bunch of tables against the wall all the way to the back if you would like to dine-in. Low and behold, in less than ten minutes my order was ready to go. I thanked the gal at the front counter and the guys in the back and was on my way. I got home and dug in. Each piece of chicken was a real good size, especially the drumsticks which were huge. They had great buffalo flavor and wow were they juicy! When you eat wings, you are usually not thinking about the nutritional value but it's a bonus to know they bake their wings and don't fry them. The wings also came with a nice size bag of carrots and celery and a container of blue cheese dressing at no additional cost. I will definitely be back again soon and I'm looking forward to trying some of their other flavors. read more

JD's is located on the corner of Bradford and Chapman. It is easy to locate and access. Parking is decent. The inside is clean and inviting and done in a sports theme. Some outside tables are set up if you prefer dining al fresco. I was immediately greeted by a super friendly young man wearing a chef's coat. He was very welcoming and asked if it was my first time visiting. Since it was, he enthusiastically explained their menu and wing flavor options. I wanted to try a wet and a rub and went with his recommendation of the Big C's and lemon pepper. I placed my order at the counter (to go) and waited at one of the tables for my order to come up. When it was ready, the friendly young man brought it to me and wished me a great day. Just his thoughtful customer service will have me coming back! When I got home I could also appreciate how the container was labeled. First of all, that their wings are baked, never fried. Then, he thoughtfully labeled what flavor was on each side. Extra customer service points!! I started with the lemon pepper wings. Nicely seasoned, slightly over salted, but a dunk in ranch dressing balanced it out perfectly. Next, the Big C's. Just as the young man explained, these wings had a nice honey flavor with a slight hit of heat at the end. All the wings had a good amount of actual chicken and were moist and tender. As I mentioned at the beginning, the customer service alone would've had me coming back, but tasty wings, too? A definite new spot that I'll be frequenting! AND it's supporting a local small business ~ a win/win!! read more

my boyfriend came down from victorville to spend the day with me. safe to say after a lot of driving around and hanging out, he was craving a sandwich. he ended up finding this place on yelp and said we had to try it. i really wish i wasn't starving, or i would've ended up taking pictures of our meal. i ended up getting 5 bombz and he nabbed a sandwich. our food was DELICIOUS. the portions were perfect for us, and the customer service was great. the guy at the front was super approachable and sweet. and this little place was just so packed with culture and community, i loved every second of it. read more

Should have learned my lesson from last year.... I placed an online order for the Super Bowl one week ahead of the game. I requested a pick up at 2pm and didn't end up getting my food until 3pm. Management needs to prepare for the large orders they would be getting for this day and have some sort of system ready to go. I felt bad for the staff but the management team clearly did not plan this day out correctly. Lots of unhappy customers and refunds. I won't be ordering again for Super Bowl. read more

Let me just start by saying my girlfriend has demanding, mature tastebuds buds... she doesn't just eat anything. Having said that, she was eating the ish out of the wings. She'd said, "When I thought about wings, this is what I pictured." Not only were the wings amazing! The device provided by Jose and Jerry was top notch! These dudes truly deserve praise. JD Wingz and Thingz embodies the Southern California spirit. The ambiance and music scream LA vibes.Need I say more? Safe to say JD Wingz have just gained life long customers. read more

JD's Wingz & Thingz - Chicken Wings Near Me - Placentia, California

we loved it so much the first time that we came back just a week later to try more flavors and it absolutely lived up to the hype again. everything was just as good. the dirty buffalo has that zesty kick, really similar to wingstop's original hot, and the creole bbq has a mild spice that adds a nice little kick without being overpowering. service was top-notch once again, and this time we doubled up on the tots instead of trying another side definitely the right call. they're also super generous with the ranch and blue cheese, which we always appreciate. at this point, we're determined to work our way through the entire sauce menu lol read more

My 2nd visit here in honor of JD's Wingz 3rd Bday celebration. Was # 6 in line for the 1st 30 guests gets a free $ 30 GC along w a free T Shirt. What I ordered ~ Lemon pepper was a new flavor i got n it was really yum. Not too citrusy n peppery. It was the Perfect blend. ~ Creole flavor was yum. It was a combo of Spicy and honey bbq combined. Probably one of the flavors I'll be getting from now on. Just realized the owner of JD Wingz is the former UFC Fighter Christian Aguilera. He was the 1st person here during the morning of grand opening. Getting ready and prepping up. Once the grand opening was in full effect. His enthusiastic & positive vibes are the best! Such a humble guy, his wife & kids were in attending also. Tip ~ on the 1st Fridays of month they have a promo of 50% off from 9 pm- 12 am. A great late night dinner or snack munchies read more

Shout out to the girl that was holding down the register AND the kitchen! Even though it's small, we really digged the interior space filled with games and interesting things to look at. As for the wings, they're baked here and they're double the size the wing stop/BWW wings. Their pull apart garlic bread is as advertised. read more

Best wingz in town. Plus they're baked so they are good and healthy. Excellent customer service as well. Plus dope ambiance.

Very good the food was delicious. The workers were very polite and attentive too. I would definitely come back!

Myself and many others in our community left disappointed today after we needed to collect refunds because the food we ordered for the Super Bowl was not ready over an hour past when it was supposed to be. Unfortunately, the team here was left understaffed and overwhelmed. Extremely nice group of kids, but horrible decision on behalf of management. It's unfortunate that my order was scheduled to be picked up at 2:45 and at 4 o'clock. I was told it would be at least a half hour to an hour until I would have my food. Three other people around me were also requesting refunds and leaving. Do better. read more

Good vibes at this place! Nice service and would try again. I can see why students go here a lot, the special is a great deal.

The service here was so friendly. Being greeted with a smile and helpful explanations is always a great first impression. The wings had delicious flavor and not overly soaked in oil. The tots were seasoned which is great, my only complaint is I'd like them crispier. Overall I would definitely come back read more

My husband told me about this place because his coworker mentioned it to him. I love wings so I was immediately down! Especially after hearing they're baked not fried, I was super intrigued. After a 45 min drive, we walked in & the music was bumping! The girl at the front was so sweet & so nice! We got the 20 wings (half lemon pepper, half garlic parm) with some tots and 2 dr peppers. We luckily were able to score the last table so we sat down & grabbed some of the games they have. Our food came out in decent timing & everything was really good. I really liked the lemon pepper! The garlic parm was okay - should've got mild or the honey bbq. def want to come back to try out the other flavors!! read more

My all time favorite wings spot!! Their wings always so crunchy and made fresh. I love love their lemon pepper wings, the flavor is spot on. They also offer side of veggies and highly recommend their ranch!! Perfect combination with their wings to ease out the greasiness. I also had the chance to try out their candied bacon, very delicious!!!! Bacon with a sweet covered which makes it tasted very yummy. The register people always so helpful and nice, always willing to answer questions you have regarding the food. Give it a try!! read more

Y'all need to stop sleeping on JD Wings and Thingz. The wings are crispy, juicy, and seasoned right -- I got the lemon pepper and never looked back.
