First time visitor, and I tried the double cheeseburger and fries. The burger came on texas toast which surprised me, but it worked. The beef was tasty, and I liked the style of pickles they serve. The fries were prepared fresh, and the chef put them in a pan, salted them, and then tossed them. Perfect. For just under $10, it was a very good lunch option. On a closing note, not sure why there were no tables / chairs inside the restaurant? Previous photos showed them . . . Cheers! RS read more

Rude and unfriendly. The only way to describe the woman who was smoking outside when I returned to wait for the tow truck so I could have my vehicle taken to the shop. According to her I should feel so lucky that they didn't have it towed. Not only did I leave contact info. I left the date and time too. read more

Great family owned business. Amazing catfish and wings!! Give them a try; you won't regret it!

Okay, first off the food was a hit or miss for me. I was hoping for a fresh ingredients and made from scratch corner restaurant vibe. I get that some items needs to be frozen or store bought. But this was over kill, a few of the items are blended in house (store bought hot sauce and bbq sauce) the others are straight out of the grocery freezer isle. The chicken bites where made there in the store, cut up fresh chicken breasts (probably frozen just thawed) tossed in seasoned flour and fried. They have a very homemade look and taste to them. We ordered fried okra but never received it, so we can't review that but I'm sure that would have been frozen as well. Again, I understand not every thing can be fresh but 95% of their menu is from frozen. I would be happier and more understanding if it was more like 40-50%. My ideal is around 30% and under. The (frozen) fries are straight cut completely unseasoned not even salt was added. The "buffalo" sauce was not what I typically would refer to as buffalo due to it getting mixed with bbq sauce. It was tasty but they need to rephrase to say house sweet and spicy sauce, since it is a blend of bbq and hot sauce. Most of their items are prepackaged and frozen. I really wanted to see more homemade, from scratch, signature food from this place. I will say the corn nuggets where delicious! That might be frozen or made from scratch but I didn't care because they were addictive. Must try them, matter of fact I will get 2 orders next time. Yes, even though it was not all made from scratch, I will be back for some more chicken bites and corn nuggets. They do not have blue cheese for my fellow blue cheese lovers, but don't worry they don't serve traditional buffalo sauce anyways. I ordered a huge menu so I could give a wide review. The burger patties were from frozen and was nothing spectacular. The non-traditional chicken wings my husband liked, but he likes sweet and spicy sauces. The fried pickles I felt like were from frozen but tasted good. The fried tomatoes were I believe frozen as well but not flavorful. The cheese sticks were typical frozen cheese sticks, tasty. The staff of two could have been more hospitable and friendly. The woman running the front order station is very difficult to understand due to an extreme smokers voice. I noticed that the health department gave a 100 but I feel that shortly will drop substantially due to the lack of care of cross contamination. While waiting on our order I noticed that raw food was getting prepared at the same time as fresh food. I would like to see more care go into preparation. Or maybe I just watch to many kitchen nightmares and have extreme standards like Chef Ramsey. I really wanted to give this place a shot but the lack of good customer service, lack of fresh ingredients and lack of authentic food was a bummer. If your looking for fried prepackaged food aka "fast food" then look no further, if you are like me and want more of a corner cafe vibe the find somewhere else. read more

We just moved out here and thought we would give it a shot. I'm happy we did, food has been fantastic every time. The gentleman that works there is extremely friendly (genuine, not forced) it's so nice to have a great personal experience. The woman on the other hand, not as friendly. She got our order right, had it ready in time, just not as friendly as the gentleman. I suggest trying here to anyone that is contemplating it, you won't regret it! read more

To be honest this chicken wing place it's REALLY Good they are cooked Fresh i waited 30 minutes are so maybe more but it was worth it i will go there again read more

Quick and easy and hot, fried, and greasy!!! Which is exactly how you'd want it. Fries were great, hush puppies yum, fried pickles bomb, and catfish just right. It was definitely a great family dinner to take home. read more

When I went the were closed Inside because of COVID. A friendly lady came to my car to take my order. Then, Awesome wings... what else can I say. read more

Located in a small strip mall. This place is unassuming. The seating is limited, which could become a problem in the future because the food here is delicious. I ate the chicken wings, catfish, perch, fries, onion tanglers, and sweet corn nuggets. Although all the food was tasty, the catfish was phenomenal and I'm not a catfish fan. The seasoning in the breading was awesome and made me want to smack my momma. It's the kind of flavor you brag to your friends about but then you have to deal with them asking for some of your food everytime you have some and they don't. You will have a short wait until the owner puts in some gas deep fryers but the wait is worth it, especially if you are able to converse with the friendly owner Mario. Most small establishments that I have patronized have lacked quality because of their size but Lorio's delivered on taste and service. Stop it at least once and get the catfish. You will thank me later and I'm sure I'll ask you for some of yours if I see you out and you have some with you. read more

We ate here on Friday night. My wife had the fried catfish. I had the four wing dinner. My daughter had a plain burger and her husband had the buffalo wings. All of the food was good except my daughter's hamburger. It looked like a very cheap frozen patty and not at all like the pictures. Not sure what happened there. Everyone else's food was really really good. I was stuffed from the four whole wings. The sauce drizzled over the top was a little weird at first but tasted good. Messy though. My wife really enjoyed her catfish and crinkle fries. It would be nice is they had fountain sodas with refills but that is a minor suggestion. We also loved the service and the free lollipops as dessert. Great place to eat if you are in the neighborhood. read more

Ordered takeout from Lorio's and it was a pleasant experience. Their wings are pretty meaty and I really enjoyed the teriyaki sauce and hot bbq sauce. The fried corn bites are a must too. Pricing is fair. We received superior curbside service, which is much appreciated! read more

This is a very small restaurant with 3 tables. It is very clean and scored a 100 on health report. The menu is small but not in a bad way. Parking is ok. It's in a small strip mall. My wife has the grilled chicken and said it was good. I had the catfish and it was very good. I ordered the large and have plenty for another meal. It's deep fried and lightly battered. It stayed hot for a long time. I was disappointed at the size of the coleslaw. Hardly a mouthful but delicious. All food comes in styrofoam contains regardless if you are eating in or not. There is a tv playing annoying sitcoms hanging in the dining area. The restroom was clean. The owner cooked the food and seemed to be the only employee so you may have to wait a few to get your order taken. It takes a bit to get your food but it is fresh and piping hot. No microwaves or heat lamps. We plan to return soon. read more

Lorio's Wings-N-Things - Catfish - Chicken Wings Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

Great wings and excellent fried catfish. Great staff very friendly Will definitely be a return customer

Today we picked up Catfish, butterfly shrimp, fried green tomatoes, fried okra, corn fritters, and chicken for the kids. Everything was delicious!! The only things we weren't fans of was the tarter sauce and coleslaw. Other then that, everything was amazing! We will definitely be coming back for more. read more

The best wings hands down! Friendly staff! And the catfish is simply amazing and I'm not a big fan of catfish but wow!! Would definitely bring my family again! read more

We love Lorios! Very reasonably priced and I've never had a bad experience. Perfect for a game day!

I ordered the wings 10 Lemon Pepper and 10 Hot l. YUMMY!!! I will be back. Going to check out breakfast in the AM

We live down the road and have been wanting to try it. Finally stopped in tonight. Hands down best buffalo wings I've ever eaten! I got mine extra crispy and they were SO good! I wish I had ordered more. We also got mozzarella sticks, a cake pop, and a classic whole wing meal. Everything was great. Prices are very reasonable. We will definitely be back! read more

Decided to check out this little corner place while in the area visiting family, we've been there three times now and will continue to go back. Had the Hot wings which are good but not that hot, but my grandson says they are really good and his opinion counts when it comes to wings. My husband who never eats Catfish tried a piece of mine on a trip and now that is all he wants. The fish is a good quality (not some of muddy river tasting) and the seasoning coat is delicious, fried crisp to perfection!!! Usually I would eat my fish with tarter sauce and even got some with meal but the fish is so good no sauce needed. Definitely will continue to go to this little corner place. read more

Just go to papa Johns next door The burger was from the freezer aisle and the wings are frozen as well. The sauce was clearly just franks red hot and some bbq sauce mixed together. The fries were alright but who charges almost two dollars for a side that always accompanies a burger. Speaking of, everything is overpriced but hey at least they throw in an off brand dum dum lollipop which is also somehow bad. Honestly they probably factor that into the price as well. Dear Lorio, what's going on big guy? Not good No eat Oh yeah and when they opened, which was not that long ago, they had a drink fountain (behind the counter) but they gave free refills. I guess they figured "nah, that could have a tiny negligible effect on profit margins let's just sell cans of soda for twice the price, no free refills" read more

My friend and I decided to give this place a try since its on the way home, I came in with low expectations due to its location. Do not be fooled, the food here and the customer service is top quality. I had one of the best cheeseburgers ive had from a mom and pop place like this. This place has a great homey feeling, we walked in to Maury playing on the tv telling some lucky guy he was not the father. It was at that moment that we knew this place was going to be a hit. And you get lollipops on the house, the ball is in your court mcdonalds. Ill definitely be back again. read more

I love it.....GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE is hard to come by.. and the only things that are frozen the package says keep frozen. Everything else is made from scratch..... read more

My family loves their wings! I love the onion tanglers. . Great service, very friendly. Will definitely go back!

After reading some of the reviews I decided to stop by for lunch - first, the wings are just that ( not the buffalo style most places serve ) with some BBQ sauce poured over them so that was a disappointment- ordered a cheeseburger- was a frozen patty and served on toasted bread not the bun pictured- will chalk it up to a slow day and will give the place a second chance but first impression was not great read more

Respect! I'm writing this review at 7am before finishing my coffee - that's how deserving this new restaurant is of a good review. The phone was answered by a friendly voice. That voice remained friendly while I had TWO reversals while ordering. They offer 5, 10, 15 & 20 wing orders. PRO TIP: Don't ask them to split orders of 10 or 20 among different flavors. Whatever quantity you order gets exactly one flavor. Want 5 BBQ and 5 LEMON PEPPER - then that's what you order NOT 10 wings split between BBQ & LEMON PEPPER. The curbside pickup (from the same friendly lady) was effortless. She cautioned me to be careful with my 5 HOT wings container 'because it was a very wet application.' On my ride home I noticed the smell was pleasant which is not always the case with spicy fried foods. Upon opening the container with 15 LEMON PEPPER wings - it earned an A+ presentation! Beautiful deep golden brown color without ANY saturated oil on the wax paper under the wings! How Lorio's does that God only knows. The taste of the hot, dry (not oily) and yet moist wings was an A. Keeping it real the drummets were slightly overcooked, but we ate them. The wingettes were perfect. They used a liberal coating of LEMON PEPPER and it was excellent. The HOT wings were ok. The sauce's flavor was GOOD and I'd bet most would consider it medium. However the wet hot wings's skin got a bit soggy. PRO TIP: Eat the HOT wings first! They give you a choice when ordering FRIES: straight or crinkle. We got a LARGE straight fries. They were a .25" to .5" and well cooked, not overcooked and not under cooked. They were EXCELLENT and HOT. CONCLUSION: We feel strongly that today these are the best wings for 50-miles! I've heard that their CATFISH is legit too. read more
