Horrible chicken wing

I came in today for a 4 wing . Everyone said this is amazing and great food . My wings was dark/ black inside and the fries was crumbled .. The sauce was good but what a waste of time and money ! I give them a triple 000 ! The lady was nice .

ried chicken and french fries

Went to get wings today around 6 in the evening ordered a 6 piece with mild on the side and it was extremely hard and dry! They should be ashamed of themselves for that bullshit! Called after a 30 minute drive home because I had to take my daughter lunch while at work. She had to audacity to say bring it back so I can look at it, then I can have cook make you another batch. Would you eat this?!

I did give them another try on Wednesday. I ordered the large tips, 8 wings, and nachos. I didn't try the nachos but everything else was good. Never had Uncle Remus chicken, very tasty. Just a smidgid salty but not enough where I couldn't eat it. I also got a banana pudding that was good. The lady Tracy took my order over the phone, she was very accommodating. I'm glad I gave them a second chance. It's very dangerous because it's right next door to my office. I can see us calling too much.

Wings & Slots on Westchester has fantastic wings. David the chef cooks the wings to precisely to…read morethe right temperature and time to make them crispy on the outside but tender/juicy inside. The environment is inviting and laid back where you can have a beer and play slots while enjoying your wings. Me and my co-workers go there every week. Just note that the wings are pricey, but this is due to the quality of the chicken that they purchase (organic non-GMO) and the size. The chicken is never frozen and it's fresh. I recommend anyone who likes to eat good wings to try this spot out!

Can you guess which? If you guessed ramen, you're wrong. They stopped serving food when COVID hit or around COVID. I was bummed to say the least because per Yelp, they had some pretty decent ramen. Had my mouth all watering for some good ramen only to get disappointed. Oh well, they did have another one of my favorite things - SLOTSSSSS! Yassssssss! I popped 10 bucks in one of'em and less than 10 mins later I left with a hundred and two bucks. #YaGirlWasHappy I'd say that more than made up for the no ramen having restaurant/slot establishment. I wish I could recommend them for the ramen but I can't but if you looking to win some money playing the slots, this is your place.

I've known about Shwings for about four years now. Back when I worked nearby, it was one of my…read moreregular lunch stops whenever a craving for wings kicked in. I'd grab an order, enjoy my lunch, and get back to my day. Once I stopped working in the area, those visits naturally came to an end, especially with the restaurant being about 40 minutes from where I live. Recently, I finally made the drive back. I wondered whether it would be as good as I remembered, but the moment the food arrived, I had a familiar feeling. The wings looked crispy, with plenty of sauce coating them. It was the kind of first impression that makes you eager to dig in. I remember having that same reaction years ago, and it was nice to see that some things hadn't changed. This time I ordered two BBQ tenders and five Buffalo wings. I came back with the wings in mind, but decided to try the tenders first. And wow, I'm glad I did. The chicken was incredibly juicy, flavorful, and so tender it almost melted in my mouth. The outside had a light crisp, just enough to give each bite some texture without getting in the way of the chicken itself. I don't think a thick, heavy coating would have improved them. The BBQ sauce was sweet and savory, adding another layer of flavor while allowing the chicken to stand on its own. Everything complemented each other nicely, from the tenderness of the meat to the sweetness of the sauce. I expected to enjoy the tenders, but I didn't expect them to make me question which part of my order I'd like more. Then I moved on to the wings, and they were just as good as I remembered. They were medium-sized, with a light, satisfying crisp on the outside and juicy chicken underneath. I've had wings where the crunch takes over or the sauce has to do all the work, but these had a nice balance. The Buffalo sauce was mild, with subtle hints of butter that gave it a little richness. It still tasted unmistakably like Buffalo, though, and that's what I appreciated most. It didn't try to overwhelm you with heat or hide the flavor of the chicken. It was familiar, straightforward, and done well. Sometimes restaurants try to do too much with their Buffalo sauce, when all I really want is that recognizable flavor executed properly. Shwings understands that. Every wing was consistently cooked, too. I never found myself reaching for one that was noticeably better than the others. The crispiness, tenderness, and sauce worked together in every bite, making the entire order enjoyable from beginning to end. What surprised me most was how hard it was to choose between the tenders and the wings. I'd take a bite of a BBQ tender, go back to a Buffalo wing, then find myself reaching for the tender again. The BBQ brought that sweetness and savory depth, while the Buffalo wings offered the classic flavor and texture I remembered from my old lunch visits. Neither felt like a side attraction. I went in thinking I knew exactly what I was coming back for, and left with two things I'd happily order again. It's not every day that tenders manage to compete with wings for my attention, especially when wings were the whole reason I made the trip. If anything, this visit made me appreciate that Shwings has more to offer than what originally brought me through its doors. Returning to a restaurant after a few years can be a gamble. Sometimes you realize you've been remembering the experience more fondly than the food deserves. I've tried plenty of wings since I first discovered Shwings, so I was curious whether my opinion would change. It didn't. I enjoyed this visit every bit as much as those lunches years ago, and I appreciate that the quality still feels familiar. I'm already thinking about bringing my cousins next time so they can try it for themselves. The 40-minute drive might keep Shwings from being a casual lunch stop these days, but it certainly won't keep me away. I'm glad I finally returned, and this time I won't be waiting another few years before making my way back.

Inside, the pub features over 20 big-screen TVs--which would have made it an energetic spot to catch the World Cup games earlier this summer--though the hard surfaces create a fairly loud atmosphere. Because the weather was nice, we opted for one of the seven sidewalk tables out front. Unfortunately, another diner was smoking marijuana nearby, which spoiled the outdoor setting. ​Be prepared to use your smartphone, as menus are accessed strictly via QR code. ​We experienced significant timing issues with the kitchen. We ordered boneless teriyaki wings to start before placing our main entrées. Surprisingly, my Cobb salad arrived first--10 minutes before the appetizer. My husband's meal didn't arrive for another 15 minutes after the wings. ​Quality-wise, the Cobb salad fell short. It used exclusively iceberg lettuce--a cheaper alternative to the typical blend of romaine, endive, and iceberg--and was served with Thousand Island dressing instead of a classic vinaigrette. However, my husband's turkey club was a hit, served with crispy, perfectly cooked tater tots. ​Ultimately, while it may appeal to others, it wasn't the right fit for us.

I discovered Priscilla's Ultimate Soulfood Cafeteria after Gino W, a yelper out of Country Club…read moreHills visited, reviewed and posted a picture of the collard greens which I came across on my 'local picks near you' feed via yelp platform. Once I noted its location being near an area I frequent, Priscilla's became a must visit for me at some point while in the area. I ended up ordering their veggie plate which came with four sides, and a muffin. As my sides, I chose mashed potatoes with gravy, baked macaroni & cheese, fried green tomatoes, and pinto beans w/rice! Prior to ordering I was hesitant about ordering their baked macaroni & cheese because you just never know what you will get. However, I stuck with it, thinking why not just give it a try because I can just move on to something else if I did not like it. As much as I wanted to order collard greens, seeing that they were paired with meat was a turnoff for me being that I am vegetarian; and I just did not have the patience to pick little pieces of meat out. So, I went with the pinto beans w/rice instead, figuring that it would pair well with the cornbread muffin. Seeing fried green tomatoes was a surprise because it was the last thing I figured was on their menu. I thought to myself, fried green tomatoes! Hmmm, I have not had fried green tomatoes in a very long time, so why not. I always love ordering online via yelp because it is convenient! Most of the time my orders are completed upon my arrival or near complete. No more than 20 minutes from the time I placed my order online via yelp, I picked it up and was well on my way after just a short wait which also gave me the chance to get a feel of Priscilla's. An ideal spot for southern food, the restaurant appeared clean, and its atmosphere gave off the vibe of an old-fashioned buffet restaurant. There are a number of tables and seating available inside of the dining area which makes it the perfect spot to visit with a group; maybe even after attending church on Sunday afternoon. Now as for my food, the pinto beans w/rice were the first of the sides I ate and I could not hold back dancing because they tasted so well with the cornbread muffin. After my first bite of the mashed potatoes with gravy I said to myself, "nice!" because it was so delicious! It has been some time now since I have had good mashed potatoes and I must point out that I will more than likely order it again as a side from Priscilla's. It was so hard to not smirk upon finishing off the mashed potatoes because I enjoyed them so much. Out of all of the sides, I had the highest expectations of the baked macaroni & cheese which I must say lived up to that high expectation. It was my second favorite of the sides next to the mashed potatoes! And lastly, the fried green tomatoes! The fried green tomatoes were just that! I cannot say that I was dissatisfied with the way they tasted nor appeared. What I will say is that I did myself a disservice by not pairing it with the baked macaroni & cheese which would have really complemented its taste. While adding the final touches to this review of Priscilla's Ultimate Soulfood Cafeteria, the thought of returning put a smirk on my face. I do look forward to that as the time goes on. And as Gino W shared the goodness of this restaurant located in Hillside, I share my endorsement of it as well with you all. ~ Live in gratitude ~ Thomas G

But I entered the soul food circus. The parking lot!!! As much money as they bring in it is night time to refigure the parking situation. It's cramped, no flow of in and out and it takes forever to get out. Or in. Once in, I waited to place the order but there was so much chaos! Wrong orders, orders never made, customers ordered items, waited only to be told the item they had been waiting on was sold out, changed the item and wait some more. Door dash and pickups were extremely chaotic and the waiting room was crowded. One woman was literally waiting 30 min on an extra order of potato salad. It seems like ordering ahead did not help cut down on anyone's wait time. I had no issues with staff. They remained professional in the midst of this chaos but I would just like to see more organization to their set up!!! I truly want to support local, especially POC, but I can't waste any more time hoping for them to get it together or revamp their systems. I can't speak to the taste of the food because I only order cornbread. After today, Jiffy Mix will be back in rotation because I can't handle this much chaos and stress.

Mac n cheese was (I think) the best I've had from a restaurant in a while. I love the type of fries that they pair with the burgers, they were fresh & not too salty. Our burgers were also very good. Apparently they have a new burger/dessert of the week each week so those items do change. They looked like they'd have good drinks too, I'd definitely come back to try. It can be a bummer that it's not a place where you can eat, drink, then hangout a bit so don't expect to be allowed to sit for too long. Service was also very nice
