    a table full of food
    Frank P.

    Wanted to try a new wing spot in ATL so thought I would try this place out. Ordering delivery from here was honestly one of the worst purchases I've ever made in my life and to call it "the best wings" was honestly an insult, especially considering some of the wings that counted as "wings" were about the size of my pinky with no meat on it hardly at all, basically just a bone... The wings we got were also not very flavorful. The sauces were okay but nothing to brag home about. We were honestly very dissatisfied, felt super overpriced for these tiny wings. My friend also got the cheesesteak egg rolls and he said that was the best thing in our order, which seems backwards considering the place is called "the best wings."

    Me and a friend ordered these wings just now and they sucked so bad. the sauces got some decent flavor nothing to brag about. The wings are super small barely any meat on them at all. Fries are okay. The steak and cheese egg roll was actually pretty good. If your looking to order out these wings definitely choose somewhere else. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!

    Cheesesteak $5 aka cheapsteak (messed my tummy up real bad)

    There wings are pretty good. But in all actuality this place is filthy. Ate from here twice and idk why I even dared to try the cheesesteak and Im from up north, home of the best and real philly cheesesteak. They are definitely the cheapest place in midtown to get food lmao but you get what you pay for. And I paid for what I got with a bad stomach ache .The fries are decent. I asked for peppers and onions on my sandwich and they obviously thought I was kidding. No onions and tiny pieces of peppers. I probably won't be back, ever.

    I hate to write this . I heard about this place on social media ! Unfortunately this place did not meet up to my standards food wise . Staff super friendly . The honey hot wings taste like season salt , franks hot sauce and honey ! It's not my cup of tea . The fried rice and egg roll was delicious . Lemonade was bland ! WHERE IS THE SUGAR?? Parking was shared with other business . I wouldn't return back at all . This is coming from a BBW

    Teriyaki wings and shrimp fried rice... the BEST!
    Penny S.

    Love love Love LOVE Best Wings! Their fried rice is the TRUTH! My fav wing flavors are their Lemon pepper and the teriyaki wings. They're just always amazing. And the customer service? Impeccable! THE local deli wing spot, and they get to know you by name! Beautiful people and awesome food!

    Don't miss this "to go" spot. The wings on Fleek, but watch the neighbors. Nothing bad but potential is there. All good though.

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.

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.

    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.
