It took a bit of time to get our food, but once I realized that it was cooked to order I understood the wait. Then once I saw the portions I thought..."bonus". Then once I took my first bite I forgot about the wait time and was like oh hell yea!!!! Large crispy moist and FULL of flavor chicken. I did not specifically drive here from Marcellus to eat here...but as good as it was I could see making the drive from Marcellus just for this chicken. Total FAN... Totally a Friends and Family recommendation and Yelp Bookmark.

When it first opened, I went opening day and the line was wrapped around the plaza and people said they had been waiting 3 hours! I decided to go back a few weeks later and there was a very small line but the wait was quite long. My first impression was good - god quality chicken, good fries, good flavor, but not much spice. I recently wanted to try again but this time I ordered take out. I tried the medium chicken sandwich and there was almost no flavor this time? I should've gotten spicier but there wasn't anything there at all.. It did come with a lot of their Daves sauce but I was expecting more flavor from that as well. I think it's fun to have every once in a while - a good new chain to have nearby!

A friend and I came here late one Friday night (around 7PM) for wings on a snowy night. The place…read morewas busy with take-out orders, and several groups were sitting at tables. It was loud, cramped, and a bit dark inside, which reminded me of a bar setting even though it wasn't at all set up like one. It was also cold, because every time the front door opened a cold breeze blew in. We ordered 30 bone-in wings and two drinks and it was over $50. I guess that is how it goes. The wings varied in size from normal to huge. No tiny wings in the bunch, and they were a good mix of flats and drumsticks. We got Buffalo, Barbecue, and Hawaiian flavors. I never got to try the Buffalo but the other two flavors were good. However, they were smothered in sticky sauce which got cloying after awhile and completely rendered your fingers disgusting. A roll of paper towels at the counter helped, though I had to go back after every couple of wings for more. The Hawaiian had a strong ginger flavor which was different and enjoyable. However, in sum I think they need to use less sauce in the future. Drinks were via the all-in-one soda machine that seems to have a million flavors on tap. It is right by the door and the area was crowded, so getting to the machine wasn't easy. It was fun to go out for wings, though it wasn't cheap. I rarely eat wings anymore so I can't say if the prices were fair or not, but they were good wings.

We placed our order on the road, much like most places it's super convenient to order on the go. Walking in the place overall looked very clean, and I was greeted very quickly as every staff member was doing something. They checked on my order and told me it should be ready soon. We got plain, garlic parm, Louisiana and hot honey and fries. First off I wanna say it now. There is no such thing as boneless wings, it's chicken chunks (especially considering it's breaded like a nugget). All were breaded and cooked crispy. Garlic parm-the misses loved it Plain- yep just that Louisiana- faintly spicy , good flavor Honey- spot on sauce. Fries- those were a big hit. Everyone liked them. The bleu cheese needs some work, it's too thin and there's hardly any chunks in it. 3/10. Ranch- it's fair game to use on sauced chicken nuggets. If these were actual wings I'd have some real negative comments to add there about it being in the trash. ** Ranch has no place near real wings** But decent food. Well made , good flavor.

The location in downtown Utica is super convenient and it's a great spot to stop in for a casual lunch. In my opinion, it's the best chicken wing pizza I've had around here. I'll definitely be back!

The same goes for the sides of MASHED POTATOES with gravy and RED BEANS WITH RICE. I expected it to be like a "generic Kentucky Fried Chicken" restaurant but it is SOOOO much better, I will never get KFC again. I loved everything but one item, so much so that I am giving it 5 stars despite thinking the meat in the sandwich was gross. This chicken is so much crispier and the breading and meat have a better flavor and texture. It is not slimy meat like KFC and has a very mild seasoning they describe as Cajun, but it is not overpowering and I wouldn't have put my finger on what it was if not called out. The mashed potatoes have a nice texture and consistency and the gravy is so delicious, like real gravy. The biscuits are good too although they don't have the fake butter flavor I regret to say I do like from KFC, even though I think these are better quality. One thing I DID NOT LIKE AT ALL was the CHICKEN SANDWICH that comes with pickles and a little bit of honey sauce--the texture of this chicken breast was really weird. It crunched when I bit through it, but the crunch was not from the breading or the pickles; the meat itself was tough like it was heavily "pumped up" with a saltwater solution or something to make it juicy and full. I ate about half of the sandwich but frankly, this meat grossed me out and had a really unnatural texture. Almost like rubbery and so firm that the meat itself sort of snaps/crunches when you chew through it. I will definitely never get the sandwich again and am not sure if the nuggets and chicken strips might be weird like this too. But the bone-in chicken is stellar!
