    Zilla and Tikka Masala wings, ranch, and Snow cheese fries
    Jennifer U.

    Actually found this place from TikTok. Nice outdoor seating area in downtown Concord; they also have lots of indoor seating and bar seating as well. The cashier greeted me right away and made somw recommendations on fan favorites as well as her own favorites. I only had to wait maybe 5 minutes for my order which was brought out to me. The wings had a nice crispy exterior and juicy meat. Sauce was perfect and not super salty. The snow cheese was almost like Cheetos powder on fries. Overall sooo yummy and perfect weather for outdoor dining

    Walt from Walt's Adventures here in Concord, California. I report to you today from The Monster Wings. It would be a mistake to let the name fool you for they have far more than simply chicken wings. They have a bar upon entry and chicken sandwiches and tenders. Simply choosing your type of chicken is merely the first step. The second is choosing what flavors you would like to consume. I chose garlic and cheese but they have honey butter and several more selections to choose from on their menu. The presentation and taste were equally fine. So much, in fact, that I saw the bottom of my dish. I chose to have my potatoes presented to me as tots rather than fries which was also well prepared. Three out of five because my chair had a wobble and the bottom of my dish had some left over oil. Otherwise, I would most definitely recommend The Monster Wings if in downtown Concord. You're taste buds will thank you.

    Monster Wings is nicely tucked within Todos Santos Plaza. There's a decent-sized parking lot located next door. The lot holds about 10 cars. Upon entering Monster, you'll notice the similarity to a Buffalo Wild Wings (their logos look somewhat similar). Monster had a small bar (to the right) within its 200 square foot dining area. The bar was unmanned but it contained three, 30 inch T.V.'s for our entertainment. The dining area had a single family with a few kids eating near the front. A few customers trickled inside, but, overall, it wasn't considered "too busy". I was disappointed to hear that their lumpia appetizers were "sold out". Surprisingly, it was still early in the evening (6:30 pm). I spent about $35 ( before tax/tip) on 17 wings. The flavors we ordered were Teriyaki, Tikka Masala, Sweet Curry and Thai Chili. 12 wings came with a choice of chips, while 5 of the wings came with a choice of plain fries. We waited for a good 10-12 minutes for our wings to arrive. I was impressed by the clean presentation of our food. The wings and things were nicely assembled. Although I took a few minutes of taking foodie pics, the fries, chips and wings were just "warm". The chips and fries were underseasoned. Also, the wings were neither plump or juicy. While the wings tasted decent, it lacked the freshness that I was seeking in newly fried food. It seemed that the chef prioritized on the presentation of the dishes as opposed to the food's temperature, quality of ingredients and the flavors. It was a very "basic" wing experience.

    This was my first time here and and I really enjoyed everything I had. I walked and quickly greeted the friendly cashier. I ordered the boneless wings and flavors that I tried was the Nashville hot so delicious, and it came with bread and butter pickcles, which were sweet to the heat. The Tikka Masala was spot on and delicious. The Zilla and the Thai chili were also great. Every piece was moist and tender, also perfectly cooked. The location was huge and has a beer bar with plenty of tv's to watch games and some seating out front. I can't wait to return and try some of the other flavors.

    Good location

    Congratulations on managing to stay open during the pandemic!(They opened shortly after SIP) Let's all continue to support small businesses. Lots to love about The Monster Wings, prime location at Todo Santos, good variety of chicken wings and they even have lumpia! Paired with some beer and you have a party in your belly! Don't forget to try honey butter wings. The owner even visited our table and said hello. Great service and friendly people.

    I forgot to do my review and this was saved in my drafts! We were walking around trying to figure out. We we're looking at the menu outside and a man came out and asked us if we have tried them before. He told us they had lumpia too so we thought we would try them out. I know why they call them monster wings! They are HUGE! Juicy and tasty! Lumpia was good too. I would recommend this place. The cheese wings reminds me of the cheese they use for popcorn ( the toppings)

    Drove by this place for the past couple of months and have wanted to stop in and sure glad we finally did! We tried boneless wings- Thai chili, ghostbuster, and the teriyaki 15 piece. The flavors were spot on and the textures were perfect. We also tried The Monster bone in wings and they brought the heat. They were flavorful and short burn. Loved the flavors all around. They have a great beer selection as well. TV's playing sports and friendly and helpful employees. Definitely coming back and highly recommend :)

    GARLIC CHEESE CURDS
    Stephanie L.

    I'm giving them a 4 star but this is actually more deserving of 3.5 stars. They replaced the old Fire Wings, same interior but different menu. There's seating indoors and outside. I love that they have hand washing stations outside of the restroom so you don't have to go in the bathroom if you're just looking to wash your hands (saucy fingers gang)! We tried 3 wing flavors: Ghost buster- might just be my fav Buffalo out of all the chains. Perfect amount of heat, and not overly vinegary (talking about you bww) Lemon pepper- my least fav of the trio. The lemon pepper flavor just wasn't there at all and these wings seem battered with a thin coating. Zilla- this one has so much potential but just missed the mark a little bit. If this one had some heat, it would elevate the flavor by so much but unfortunately, you get a strong taste of sweet soy sauce only. The umami is there, it just needs boost. We also has seasoned fries and garlic cheese curds. These fries are sooooo crispy but the inside is soft, which is perfect. My SO thought it was overly crispy though. The fries seem battered too... which was unexpected. Garlic cheese curds we're amazing! I had them dipped in ranch and honey mustard, for a little oomph. The serving is huge, and I kinda wish they served various sizes since I'm the only one who eats cheese in my duo. I probably wouldn't get this again for $7 when I can only eat like 1/4 of the order by myself. Service was courteous and the restaurant was clean. I look forward to going back and trying more flavors!

    The wings are crunchy and delicious. The fries have different types of flavour great for groups and game day hang out! Service was friendly and good.

    Food was ready earlier then yelped predicted which was no fault to the restaurant but the wings themselves were not that great. Asked for extra crispy and they were not. Flavor is barley there on the Lemon pepper and Thai chili. Maybe it's better to eat it there but for my first experience it's making me not want to come back. Could of gotten a better meal somewhere else. Also found a small bug in my fries. Later that day- I did get a call back from monster wings corp. the lady who I spoke with was very kind and wanted to hear my concerns so they can better improve on what happened. I would like to give it another try at a later time to see if it can wow me .

    Boneless Teriyaki and Honey Butter wings with Honey Mustard sauce and Seasoned fries and Rice
    Wilfredo F.

    Loved their wings here. Just done right, not overcooked or a sodium overload like that other wings place (that I dare not mention). I have issues with certain cooking oils and usually avoid anything fried since it ignites chronic muscle pain inflammation issues that I have but dining here I did not experience any inflammation issues so I am assuming they use a better quality frying oil than other places. My senior citizen mom also liked the wings since it was not too salty and she had no digestive issues after dining here which a feat in itself. Two thumbs up also for the lady who works here who cleaned up our table coming in since the prior occupants were not able to properly clean up after themselves. ClMade the table nice and clean prior to us sitting.

    Monster Wings showed up on my Yelp search when I was looking for a new chicken place to try out. The reviews looked promising so I placed an order here for pickup several weeks ago. I ordered the 5 piece wings, tater tots and a drink. I got my wings with the honey butter flavor. When I arrived there I saw that they canceled my order for tots since they ran out. I was bummed but opted for the fries instead. Overall, the food was okay but I kind of already forgot how it tasted. I think it was just alright?

    Left: teriyaki right: salt and pepper

    Love this spot, food is good! And place is a vibe if you dine in. Service was 10/10, always asked if we needed anything!

    I'm not an authority on Afghan food so this is rated as an outsider…read more Overall the food can be summarized as: lightly seasoned, enjoy the simple flavors of each component, and Must use the sauces to complete the dish. I personally think everything needed some salt, but maybe it's meant to be this way. Highlight is most definitely the green sauce (yogurt and chili, not spicy), baklava (sweet sticky on the bottom and flaky crisp on top, not overly sweet), yogurt mint drink (dough). Shami beef and chicken kebab were juicy and not dry. Through a bit of miscommunication.. I was given the yogurt drink instead of the normal side of yogurt cucumber sauce for the meat, and was warned by Ali that some people don't like it since it's a yogurt drink with salt, but honestly it was great and was essentially a yogurt mint sauce I expect from other Mediterranean/Middle Eastern type places but more watery. So admittedly I just took sips of this while taking bites of the kebab and rice and it was pretty much the flavors I was looking for, but an extra step. Beef Mantu was another source of confusion since there are regular and homemade versions (I didn't realize). They made me the homemade version without confirming with me on the phone; no problem. It was filled with lightly seasoned beef and topped with interesting spices. Overall not bad not great, definitely needs sauce / salt. Too light in my opinion. And for $25 I wouldn't get again not worth it. The customer service from Ali was great. Knowing this was my first time he explained everything, offered to charge me less due to the miscommunications (I declined), and gave complimentary side of sauce and baklava as a nice gesture. Good food. I know how to order next time. Extra green sauce or yogurt drink all over.

    Good stuff! The star rating is purely for the type and grade of restaurant this is…read more As we've always had this place on the raider being its neighbor, we finally made it here and met the owner. Service was pleasant, and we received enough attention throughout the meal course. Great, open seating with the view on the Monument Boulevard, that was bright and comfortable. The outstanding Afghani food, and even better the desserts with saffron tea made this experience complete throughout. Would highly recommend Narunj Palow with thinly sliced dates. Turned out to be a little bit pricier than I thought it would be for a lunch, however, it really did worth it.

    To keep it short…read more.. Excellent food. Excellent service. Gluten free options. I will definitely make sure to visit again when I'm in town. -------------- If you want to read my story of how and why I tried this place, read more here: I walked by this place while my car was getting an oil change. They had a sign that said in big letters, "HUNGRY? We can fix that!" Like Winnie the Pooh, I checked in with my stomach and answered yes! I was famished. I had brought my lunch with me but left it in the car while it was getting the oil changed, so I had nothing to nibble on. It was kind of early, maybe 10 AM, and I didn't even think they would be open, but then I realized they did have the sign outside on the sidewalk. I walked by the front door and it opened automatically. My heart started to flutter. So I went to look at their menu online and saw that they had chicken shawarma bowls. I love chicken shawarma. I decided to look them up on Yelp and make sure they had good reviews. I realized that they were a sponsored ad, and that gave me pause. The last time I went to a Middle Eastern restaurant that was sponsored, it was not so great, so I quickly checked the reviews. They have pretty good reviews! One review said that the chicken was dry, but others were more positive. I had a really good feeling, so I ordered it. Another reviewer commented that the rice was so good -- and they're not normally a rice enthusiast -- so when I placed my order, I upgraded my rice from the white rice that comes with the order to the rice infused with turmeric and garbanzo beans. When I opened my order, the bowl was a pretty decent size. If my husband had been with me, we probably would've been able to split it. In my order, I saw: * Seasoned chicken drizzled with shawarma and a delicious white sauce. * Hummus * Tomato cucumber salad * And this yellow turmeric rice I couldn't resist -- the rice was the first thing I tasted, and it was delicious! I can't quite figure out what flavors are in there, but I could taste a hint of cinnamon, and there were definitely other flavors there. The chicken was moist and flavorful. The hummus could very easily be the best hummus I've ever had. I really enjoyed this meal. I really wanted to eat the entire bowl myself but decided to save half of it for my daughter, who I know will also love it. Customer service was excellent. Adam was at the counter and greeted me very warmly. And when I was leaving, they asked me if I wanted hot sauce and then they put that in the bag. Overall, I give this five stars. I love that the food comes in an eco-friendly container. If there's anything that I could change, it's probably that they put it in a plastic bag instead of a paper bag. I try to avoid plastic as much as possible, but the container was quite big and needed to be in a bag while I hiked back to the oil change place. Oh, and before I forget... one of the first things I asked before I ordered is if the shawarma plate was gluten-free, and he assured me that everything in it was unless I was getting pita. And one more fun note -- when I got back to the car place, someone walked in, saw my food, and immediately asked, "Oh, is that from Manakish?" I was pretty impressed they could recognize it just by the look, especially since the restaurant is about half a mile away. Oh...and when i gave it to my daughter...she loved it so it gets two thumbs up!!

Nothing extravagant, but very clean. A 3/5 for ambiance because it was basic. The service was a bit strange. We ordered over the phone using the menu online but when we asked for a K5 (the chicken wrap) the person taking the order had no idea what we were talking about so we had to go back to the menu to find the actual name, and that was inconvenient. Also, there was no one up front when walking in and my partner had to call out multiple times before anyone responded. Service gets a 2.8/5 as it was just below my minimum requirements for service. We got a chicken wrap with fries x2, dal with rice and lamb kabobs (not pictured). The wraps were perfect, chicken crispy and juicy, and the coleslaw adds a light crunch into the mix, this gets a 5/5. The lamb was tender, juicy, and very well seasoned. The texture was dense, but not chewy, and would have also been bomb inside the wrap, the lamb gets a 5/5. The dal was spicy, and served with a large chili and fire roasted tomatoes. I'm a big fan of lentils and curry, so this was an easy choice. The fragrance of the saffron rice with the lentils reminded me of comfort food on a rainy afternoon. I give this a 5/5. Overall, the food is great but the service could be better. I give this eatery a 4.2/5
