Great wings, I recommend the sun dried tomato bbq wings and of course cannot go wrong with Buffalo lemon pepper. Also got the tots which I enjoyed, they were light with a nice crunch, not too greasy.

I was recommended The Local for great chicken wings in Atlanta, but I never expected how popular…read moreand crowded it was. We arrived there exactly at 5 PM, when it opens, but there was already a pretty extensive line. A little outside the entrance, they check your ID, which I had no idea was a thing. So make sure you have your IDs with you and are 21+. There's a bar area for drinks and a separate counter where you will order and pay for your food. (They make it pretty explicit that you can't get wings to-go.) Find a seat, and once your food is ready, they'll announce your name, and you pick up your food from the window. FOOD: We got wings in the flavors of lemon pepper (dry rub), sun-dried tomato (dry rub), buffalo lemon pepper (wet), and jerk buffalo (wet). I will say that I definitely preferred the wet wings to the dry wings. I found the dry wings to be a little too salty. In my opinion, the wings and the cook on them were just okay. I wasn't blown away or anything. Maybe the relatively cheap beer and the vibes help draw in all the appeal. TLDR// I don't think I had the greatest wings of all time here, but the vibes were really casual and pleasant. I'm glad I was able to try a place so beloved by locals.

If you're looking for a laid-back dive bar vibe, Moe's and Joe's is a solid go-to in the Highlands…read more It's the kind of place you go to just chill, grab a few drinks, and not feel pressured to spend a ton of money. Been coming here for a few years now, and it's always felt the same, which I love. They also have some surprisingly good bar food, which is always a plus. Think wings and fries kinda vibe. It definitely gets pretty packed on the weekends, so keep that in mind if you're going during peak hours. Parking can be a bit tricky too since it's mostly street parking or nearby paid lots. Overall, a great spot for casual drinks, hanging with friends, and keeping things low-key.

Awesome spot in the Virginia Highlands area! Dive-bar feel, but friendly service and good food…read more We came here on a recommendation for good wings-- the criteria is crispy, fresh, well seasoned, and with real blue cheese. Moes and Joe's ticked all of the boxes. The wings were huge, crispy, flavorful, and the blue cheese was great. I only wish they had more sauce flavors! We had hot and lemon pepper, both were great and up to standard. Wings pro tip, order them extra crispy. We also had the cheese curds and mojos fries, everything was unhealthy and delicious. Can't forget a PBR of you're here. We look forward to returning to this location, it definitely scratched the itch for good wings.

The heat was a perfect level of spice where it had some heat but not over the top while also being flavorful. Crinkle cut fries were nice and crispy and the pimento Mac and cheese was fine. Service It was great. I walked in and no one was at the counter but in mere seconds someone came and greeted us and ready to take our order. I needed a minute and more people came in. A second cashier came up and ready as well. Wow! Prompt and aware. Ambiance Casual spot with indoor and outdoor seating (some heating lamps too). Parking lot is hectic and can get full.

I walked into Sweet Auburn BBQ expecting solid barbecue. What I got was a place operating at a…read morelevel most spots never reach. Start with the service. Impeccable. Not good. Not decent. Impeccable. The server knew the menu inside out. Every recommendation landed exactly where it needed to. That sets the tone. You trust the kitchen before the food even hits the table. That matters. Now let's talk reality. This place is stepping into the ring with Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q. And here's the difference. I walked in. Sat down. No 40 minute wait. No chaos. Just straight to business. That alone earns respect. Appetizers first. Cornbread. A surprise. Slightly sweet, balanced, not dry. I expected average. I got better. 4 out of 5. Then the Wu-Tang wings. This is where things changed. 10 out of 10. No hesitation. Perfect heat. A sweet edge that hits first, then the spice builds without overwhelming. Crisp outside, juicy inside. Dip it in ranch or blue cheese and it elevates even further. This is the kind of dish you think about the next day. Pimento cheese wontons. 5 out of 5. Crunch on the outside. Rich, creamy, sharp flavor inside. No shortcuts here. Every bite is deliberate. Now the mains. Brisket. Tender, properly smoked, clean bark, fat rendered right. No dryness, no shortcuts. Ribs. Balanced, flavorful, cooked with precision. No falling apart mess. They hold structure, which tells you everything about technique. And yes, we ran the wings back again. That says enough. One miss on the table. Bulgogi salad. 3 out of 5. Not bad. Not memorable. When everything else hits this hard, average stands out. Ambience is dialed in. Casual but intentional. You feel comfortable. You feel like you're in the right place. This is not hype. This is execution. 5 out of 5. I walked in curious. I left impressed. I will be back.

Scammy with prices…read more I went to the ladies night and happy hour. The food and drinks were great but the wait staff didn't apply the discounts so I was charged full price. I followed up by email. They applied the discount but didn't readjust the tax or tip. I followed up with them twice and they ignored my email. They are keeping money that they wouldn't be entitled to has the waitstaff totaled the bill correctly. I also ordered a beer that was not on the menu. It was $12. The waiter should have told me about that when I ordered. Skip this place.

Open late and always reliable--definitely a go-to spot…read more Personally, I think their wings are the best in ATL in terms of size, juiciness, and bold flavor. One thing to note: even when ordering through Uber Eats, my order wasn't ready, so I'd recommend ordering directly at the store.

Was told that I had to try lemony pepper wet wings when in Atlanta, Georgia, and that J.R. Crickets…read morewas a decent, reliable spot. The interior gives off a modest, no-frills type of vibe. It wasn't busy at all on a Wednesday night. Signs indicate that you should seat yourself wherever available and to head to the counter to make your order. I ordered takeout, so I can't speak about the dine-in experience here. FOOD: We ordered a double order of the wings and asked for their two most popular flavors, which were the lemony pepper wet wings and some other flavor (couldn't hear the worker clearly, but just went with it). The order came with fries and a choice between ranch or blue cheese dipping sauce. Maybe I am not used to the flavor profile here, but I found the wings to be excessively salty (and I have a preference for salty food). My tongue is still tingling as I write this review. Also, the lemony pepper wings tasted like they were coated in pure citric acid. The other flavor was drowning in sauce. The wings themselves were so dry that it felt like I was eating chicken jerky. SERVICE: Food came out within ten minutes of us ordering. No frills place, so expect no frills service. No complaints. They have a bag-it-yourself policy. TLDR// This might be the first place to actually convince me that overseasoning is actually a thing. Excessively salty, dry chicken wings that my tongue is still paying the price for. Would not come back, and I would try a different spot for lemony pepper wet wings.

The place is large with lots of seating and some games to play as well (quarter operated). They have a giant parking lot across the street too. The food was good and very reasonably priced. The chicken fingers were crispy and tasty, and the horseradish sauce it came with was out of this world. They have a bunch of TVs over the bar and were playing the Braves game so it's a nice spot to grab some food and a drink and watch sports!

I ordered food for delivery and it came 30 minutes late. It seems like my food wasn't made until the driver arrived to the restaurant. I got the limited time chicken, bacon, ranch pizza. It barely had any cheese or chicken on it. I didn't taste or see any ranch on it. The buffalo wings were soggy by the time I got them. Won't be coming back here. I paid $45 for bad food. I could've paid less than $20 for dominoes which would've tasted better.
