Guys....run, don't walk. This is seriously SO good. The wings were so good, well fried, well sauces. The fried green tomatoes were awesome! Sometimes you can tell when fried green tomatoes have been frozen, these are NOTHING like that. These might be the best fried green tomatoes I've ever had. The fish and shrimp were both delicious. If I had to have any complaints, the Mac and cheese wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't bad. We ordered out, so can't speak about the storefront, but we for sure have plans of going there now!!! Go immediately!

LOOKING TO THE ORDERING AREA AT THE FRONT.

This is a franchise operation of a fast food chain that originated in Louisiana about 10 years ago. The food we had, a Shrimp Po'Boy and a Shrimp Platter, were not bad, but not spectacular, either. Nothing seemed especially fresh tasting, in fact the roll for the po'boy was several days past it serve time. The food here is not cheap, especially for a lunch meal - our food with two drinks was just under $22. The service was nice, but there simply wasn't enough here to bring us back.

2 Fish and 2 Whole Wings

Ordered through doordash. Came fast and hot. Good portions and pretty good food. Mac and cheese is not baked but creamy. Cole slaw on the vinegary side but good compliment to fish. Overall seasoning could be upped but on the other hand this would be good for someone who can't eat a lot of salt or seasoning.

Shrimp Pi'Bboy

This place doesn't look all that great from the outside. But once you go in its a different story They have good prices and good food. I will go back there again. I had the Shrimp Po'Boy. It was the right amount of food for me. They also have me 2 extra pieces on the side..

I've been chasing down this food truck and finally had a chance to try it today at a Food Truck…read morefestival -- disappointed with an exclamation mark! I didn't mind the 15-minute wait but for $16-17...I was expecting a hot and fresh meal. Oh, was I wrong. I went with the 5-wings and fries combo. When I opened my box, there were barely any fries. It consisted of small, burnt, and broken pieces of fries. It was as if they gave me the left over fries from each previous batch. I've been eating fries all my life and know what fresh fries should taste like. This was definitely old fries. Now onto the chicken wings, if this is how wings taste in Buffalo, I'm going to save myself a trip and not visit. It was over cooked and dry. These are supposed to be hot wings and there were barely any sauce on it, more like naked wings to me. If you spend 15-minutes to make my food, do it right or just give me a refund. If you're not going to deliver it like your advertisements, let us know so we can take our money elsewhere. Thanks!

The food is a cool addition to the triangle. I've had all the littos and most of the wings and they…read moredo not disappoint! The wing flavors are delicious and the littos are crispy and fresh. I do always get an extra sauce however because I'm a sauce person and it's good. The fried crab sticks are a unique touch although my favorite menu items would be the littos! I have since converted to a plant based diet and am pleased to say that the the jerk vegan litto is up to par with the others. It can be spicy though so beware lol. They also now offer a vegan beyond meat litto I am dying to try I just have not gotten around to it. I would say give them a try.

Improve everything! This is the worst food I've ever eaten! It almost wasn't edible! The fries were…read morehard as a rock dried out and not even golden brown. They were borderline black. The JUMBO wings were not even close. They were about 3" in length, and the meat, little that there was, was extremely dry! The teriyaki sauce was runny, watery and sitting at the bottom of the paper bowl. The gentleman serving was also not friendly! If I could give this truck a zero for its food and service I WOULD!! You won't be coming back to our community again, I can assure you!

I hate to do it, but I can only give Mr. Wingz and Mrs. Thingz two out of five stars ("Could've…read morebeen better"). This humble, "mom and pop" food truck, serving the Triangle area, celebrated its two-year anniversary back in November 2020. The truck visited our apartment complex. I ordered a six-count of chicken wings ($8) and "boneless bites" ($7). For the six-count, I ended up getting a combo ($11) with no drink. Combos come with a drink, but they didn't tell me to grab a drink when I picked up my order. I didn't know I was charged for and picked up a combo until after we got home and I opened the boxes. Also, they asked me what sauce I wanted. I didn't realize sauce cost extra. The menu said "extra sauce" costs $0.25 each. The menu should be corrected to say just "sauce." The word "extra" should be removed - it's misleading. The wings didn't look nor taste impressive. They were cheap, bottom-of-the-barrel wings, like wings from one of those old Chinese buffets. They weren't terrible, but they weren't good/great either. I expect more out of a food truck. I got the wings with lemon pepper seasoning. Here, it's a dry rub (not lemon pepper wet). I was also told they have a Parmesan dry rub that wasn't listed on the menu. All the other flavors were wet (sauce). There was barely any lemon pepper seasoning/flavor on the wings. Disappointing. Also, the wings tasted a little overcooked, a bit dry, and they weren't very meaty. The fries were fine, cut with some potato skin left on. A little soggy. They were appetizing when dipped into the ranch dressing. The boneless bites looked like pieces of tofu. They tasted better than they looked. I got the bites with hot sauce. As a spicy food lover, I didn't find the hot sauce to be hot at all. It was mild at best. However, I did think the bites were fairly tasty. The meat was more tender and moist than I had anticipated from the looks of things. Like the fries, each bite tasted more appetizing when dipped into ranch. There were about 8-10 bites in my order, some pieces a little bigger than others. Mr. Wingz and Mrs. Thingz also sells chicken sandwiches, Philly cheesesteaks, quesadillas, chicken tenders, hot dogs, hamburgers, fry variations (e.g. garlic-Parm fries, chili cheese fries), and your standard bags of chips like Cheetos, Funyuns, and Doritos. At the time of our visit, combos were $11 each (includes fries and a drink) and most a la carte items were $6-8 each. Aside from the mix-up with my order, service was fine. Like other food trucks, the business uses Square for transactions so I had my itemized receipt automatically emailed to me. Compared to most other food trucks, Mr. Wingz and Mrs. Thingz is low-budget. It's an old white truck - looks like it was once a taco truck - that shows some wear, especially on the menu with items blacked or whited out and prices stickered over. It's the opposite of one of those shiny, fancy, expensive-looking trucks.

We…read morechose the classic cheeseburger with Swiss cheese and sauce on the side, a cubano, and the fried artichoke salad. Both the cheeseburger and cubano came with hefty servings of French fries fresh out of the fryer. Despite being a little salt heavy, they were flavorful and complimented the sandwiches well. The cubano and burger were both 3/5 for me but I enjoyed both. I'm not a huge meat fan... My boyfriend said they were excellent though! The fried artichoke salad is where I feel like I found my peace. The olives, tomatoes, salad dressing, and all other salad components were awesome. It tasted fresh and the ingredients complimented each other. The fried artichokes were a nice crunch too! I would be back to the Federal for the hot food and good vibes. Service was excellent here as well.

There were customers at the bar who ordered a drink and thought that was enough to sit there the entire time. The bartender nicely asked them that if they weren't going to order more food or drink it would be polite if they gave up their seats to paying customers. I finally got to sit down and rest while I enjoyed the game. Great food and even better service!
