    Double cheeseburger combo
    Al S.

    If you're in South Texas and in the mood for a fresh grilled burger, hey this place is perfect. This is another one of my "Daylight Specials" as in "you wouldn't catch me here after dark". Hell they probably don't even open after dark. Back to the burger, they got a single a double and a triple. Double chez combo costs about $5-$6, they grill it as you order. Man it was good. Get the jalapeno on the side, no charge. Yeah. Not sure what the "Luau" is all about, didn't see any Kalua Pork on the menu or lomi salmon. But I'd go back again for lunch. Yes and outdoor seating only.

    One of the best places to get a good old fashion burger. Been there for ever I remember it when I was in high school back in the 80s.

    This place is a definite hole in the wall...I had to make their Yelp page lol. But I digress…read more.. If you want crunch...if you want taste and zest...if you want heat or sweetness in your wings...if you want the best quality for the best prices on wings in town...stop by! This place keeps it simple...bone-in or boneless wings. They have about 10 sauces total...no need for more honestly. They have dry and wet options... my personal faves are their Original Hot and Lemon Pepper. But the winner for me is they let you combine them...if you enjoy the heat from Original Hot and love the Zest of Lemon Pepper...why not combine both? You don't have to order half and half...they give you the order mixed. Such a simple idea but I've yet to see a local wings place do that option. Genius! The prices are just right... currently, some places charge about $14 for 10 wings...here you can order Family packs...one example is 20 wings for $18, comes with large fries and 2 soda cans. The cook on the wings are perfect...nice and crispy. I have ordered plenty of times from here and have yet to get a bad cook on them. They're nice and plump.... there's no breading on it nor are they just bone. The ONLY knock is the location. Did I mention it's a hole in the wall? They have about 4-5 tables...an oscillating fan, and a TV playing music. It's not meant to hold large groups. Get it to go...the wings are freshly made so even on a 10 min drive home the wings are still nice and hot when you bite into them. STILL 5 stars...no doubt! If you have no clue where Alton is, enter the location and find this place. The wings are a definite diamond in the rough for the local businesses.

    Great place and great prices my go to for any wing occasion , always the same taste and always…read moreprompt on the time you need them

    Wing Snob - great wings, skip the sides…read more I walked in thinking this was a little mom-and-pop joint; turns out it's a nationwide chain wearing a folksy disguise. No biggie--good food trumps branding--but here's how it stacked up: * Wings: Spot-on. Juicy, well-cooked, plenty of meat. Pro tip: sample the sauces before you commit. Anything sweet tasted like it took a detour through a candy factory--too artificial for my liking. * Sides: Hard pass. The chili-cheese fries came smothered in concession-stand nacho cheese that did somersaults in my stomach (and I'm not lactose-intolerant). A sprinkle of real shredded cheese would fix half the problem. Fries themselves got greasy fast--maybe tired oil, maybe black magic, who knows. * Ranch: Heavy on the dill, light on the "wow." If dill is your love language, great; if not, prepare for disappointment. * Value: $39 for two meals (10-pc and 6-pc). Pricey for what you get once you subtract the sides you won't finish. * Service: A-plus. Friendly staff, quick turnaround, zero attitude--honestly the high point after the wings. The ambiance was alright. Chairs were hard metal, they had golf playing on the tv (who the hell watches golf?) and only one trash can where you can throw away your food--located next to a table where people are eating. Bottom line: Come for the wings, wave politely at everything else, and save your stomach (and wallet) the trouble.

    Mixed reviews here... I like wings. I liked these wings. Will I come again? Yes. Small place…read more Service was somewhat bland. Being my first time here. I asked too many questions. I didn't get the help I would have liked.

    This place has gotten a lot of love from the community, unfortunately I can't find it in me...this…read morehas to be an honest review. The wings were very subpar, sorry. They look meaty...they look delish...but the flavors were quite lacking. One...what is up with the chives and sesame seeds. They did ask me if I wanted them on there...I said sure. But I don't see how that adds anything to the flavor profile of the wing. Is it for texture? I have noticed it's more common in Mexico..so maybe they're bringing that practice over here? But offering it on every wing? Sesame seeds and chives do not go with every single wing flavor. Moving on... The wings were a good size...and well cooked. I think these are air fried...so the fry on the wing left a little more to be desired. I honestly don't remember the flavors I chose...but probably Iwiings and Buffalo... The one thing that really threw me off...and almost made me stop eating, was their ranch in the small cups. I wish I had not stirred the ranch that much to have recorded it better..so I was given 3 cups and each cup was the same. As I was dipping my wings into the small cup, I noticed the bottom of the cup was extremely watery, while the ranch at the top was very thick. It could be simply explained...dressings settle. But it made me wonder...do they water down their dressings? Or did the ranch settle? But then why did it settle toward the top...maybe they have the cups upside down, so it settled to the top because of that? But still ...it was very unsettling to see all of sudden this watery mess push up through the ranch...I tried to record it right but I had already mixed it too much. One of the few times I can say I was almost grossed out on a food item and stopped eating. Is it worth the love? Well they also sell ribs..but if your name is based on wings, I will grade you on wings. Even with their great discounts, unfortunately will not try this place again.

    The location in Pharr has the old lady with the worst customer service skills obviously she is…read morerelated or is owner people like her are why businesses fail! The wings are good but when you order bone in and they give you boneless she won't even make it right and fix things even though paying for Bone In . I went in thinking I would get B1G50 off for Bone In like advertised. My reciept what I paid for indicates , Bone In/Bonless when I get home both are boneless and she would not help she said she would charge me $7 more to give me 10 bone in. Worst customer service ! How can you charge me for clearly what says bone in when we went back and tells her she says $7 more to give me bone in WTH ' watch your order and reciept people
