Cashier who is also the cook. Totally made the wrong item i paid for order. Refused to accept his mistake and charged me $4 extra to correct it. I just wanted a refund. He refused. read more

Friendly guy at the counter. Food was fresh and tasty. We tried the shrimp tacos and they are now my favorite. I got the lemon pepper and my partner had the medium heat. I was left wanting another but we had also ordered buffalo chicken fries which were good. I'd definitely go back. Prices are also way more reasonable than that other wing place near Montezuma. read more

Wings empire is great they have amazing food, their environment is amazing. All the people there are so nice and always help you. Their food is ready quick and is always warm and super yummy. The best buffalo fries in town! read more

Foods always fresh! Honestly they have the best ranch around town. Staff are very friendly and attentive

The buffalo fries were good! And the manager was friendly. Would highly recommend. Huge tv in the patio to watch the game is a plus.

First time trying out Wings Empire and the customer service was great from the start. The guy at the register provided great recommendations, which left us all full and satisfied. Overall, the place is a great spot for food and entertainment as they do have major sport games on throughout the day. read more

I tried placing a phone order today with WE. They asked me to hold so I did. About 6 min in I was able to hear the conversations inside. The last few min I just decided to see how long I could go. At 13:41 they picked up the phone and hung up. This is definitely a firat read more

Wings Empire - the call screen of a phone - Chicken Wings Near Me - La Mesa, California

We ate here before checking the reviews... and honestly, what are the 1 stars about folks?! Maybe they listened to the reviews and updated because the FIRST thing I noticed was how clean and neat the place was. I did not smell the mop water any of the reviews mentioned and the customer service was spot on. Not sure what the guys name was or I would shoutout, but he was very nice to my sister and I, and my niece. We all ordered buffalo chicken fries and they were BOMB. I will admit that this is usually the only thing we ever order and they were consistent to the buffalos fries we have ordered at other wing empires. Keep it up, guys read more

Wings Empire - Chicken Wings Near Me - La Mesa, California

Stopped in today to get dinner for the kids. I purchased the $20 Groupon. Superb bargain. We ordered the 20 piece half honey bbq and mild sauce with veggies as well as dipping sauce for $22. Medium seasoned fries $3.49. No breadsticks!!! I saw the breadsticks once again sitting under the heat. Not fresh out of the oven. So we will pass. The wings were great. Fresh, hot and caked with flavor. The French fries were crispy, hot and well seasoned. Perfect week night, mom doesn't have time to cook dinner. Next time, I will do a phone in order since it 20 minutes to get our order. I forgot this place charges an extra $.35 to use your credit card. That and the dry, hard breadsticks explains why I haven't been here in over 10 minutes. read more

I had a Groupon, so my boyfriend and I checked this place out for lunch. We split the pulled pork fries, an order of garlic parmesan wings, and the jalapeno poppers. The poppers were pretty much the usual, not bad but nothing special. The wings were just okay as well. Great sauce but a bit chewy in texture. Service was excellent, though, and the fries were perfectly cooked and topped with a creamy sauce (similar to French dressing, which I don't generally care for but worked great on this dish!) and the perfect amount of BBQ pulled pork, creating one bite after delicious bite. We'll be back for that again, but we'll skip the wings and poppers. read more

Wings Empire - Jalapeno poppers - not bad but nothing to write home about - Chicken Wings Near Me - La Mesa, California

Dropped by for take-out on a packed Friday evening! My boyfriend and I waited about 25 minutes for our food to come out, which wasn't the worst considering the crowd. We luckily didn't ran into any problems ourselves, but it was alarming to watch a bunch of people from multiple orders return to the counter to ask about forgotten/mistaken/neglected items. It was also inconveniently confusing to fill my fountain soda: the soda fountain, the lids, and straws are all on completely different locations on the counter. We sat by the soda fountain while we were waiting for our food, and even helped direct a few other people to the straws/lids across the room when they looked lost. The garlic parmesan wings were good but not my favorite: well-cooked, but way too much sauce/seasoning for me. However, the buffalo chicken fries were awesome! We got a mini-sized fries (w/ medium buffalo sauce) to share between us, and I was totally addicted. Wasn't overly spicy for me, and had just the right amount of heat. Next time I visit, I'll opt for a large order of buffalo chicken fries instead of getting any wings. read more

Wings Empire is a place that I discovered a couple of years ago from driving by, and has remained consistent every time I stop in. I have only ever came here for the buffalo fries and have never tried anything else on their menu, so that should tell you how much I love their fries! I've tried a couple of their flavors and always end up ordering the teriyaki fries because I really like the sweetness of adds to the spice of the sauce that they already put on. The large is the perfect size for sharing and honestly the knot size worth it in my opinion because I have ordered the medium before and it feels like the same amount of fries just with less chicken. The service is always pretty good and speedy, it just really depends on how many phone orders they get (sometimes it can be a lot)! There is a lot of seating inside and on their patio area which is really nice if you want to stop in. read more

Wings Empire - Teriyaki Buffalo Fries - Chicken Wings Near Me - La Mesa, California

Best Service every time I come here. Addy is always knowledgeable on menu items and her recommendations are always on point. She makes the best bread sticks from any buffalo spot around. Place is always clean, and very nice to enjoy your meal. read more

I love this place and always will! When they changed ownership, the only thing that changed was the building name. We call this place the "crack wings" spot. I always go for the chipotle fries every since they started offering those, with a medium side of ranch. They're so good! The fries are always crisp and crunchy, but still soft on the inside. The chicken is cooked perfectly, the buffalo sauce is bommmmmb! It pairs perfectly with the ranch dressing on the side. Their breadsticks are my favorite part. They're soft and fresh and delicious. So much better than wings & things -- cheaper too. Best thing to do is call and order ahead, they're usually always busy and the food can take up to 15 minutes to get out to you. i LOVE this place! read more

Very disappointed. I'm giving them a 3 because the last time we came here they were good this time around I don't know what happened. The size was like they cut the strips in half. These strips were as skinny as an average persons finger . Don't think I will be back again I can't handle disappointments like this. read more

Wings Empire - Skinniest tenders ever! - Chicken Wings Near Me - La Mesa, California

Had a gift card which Wing Empire accepted so we decided to give it a try. We got the 20 piece quick combo with tenders, fries, & a drink all for $20. I went into it not expecting much and to my surprise it was delicious. In my opinion soooooo much better than both Epic Wings and Wing Stop! I will definitely be going back. read more

I have been eating here for years, tonight I ordered buffalo chicken fries and had hoped they would be just as amazing as in the past, but sadly they were not. The fries in the order seem as if they were hours old. The food at Wings Empire used to be outstanding and up until today have never had a bad meal here. I don't know if they have changed ownership but if this is the quality of food they serve I will not be back. read more

Kind of a hole in the wall place that serves pretty good wings. The breadsticks were fresh and delicious but I did eat here relatively close to opening time. Service was good. The lady who took my order was very nice and friendly. A negative for me was that the background music playing was surprisingly full of profanity for one song and another had graphic descriptions of oral sex. Probably not a place to bring little ears. I'd come again if I had a craving for wings. read more

Ummm I'm giving them 5 stars because honestly they have theeeee best buffalo chicken fries (chipotle chicken fries) in San Diego. A client brought some with her to my gig. And just the smell got my attention. I took one bite. Called in an order immediately after and they were ready within 10 mins. I ate the entire thing. I got the "mild" spicy. But I could have gone one more notch up. Still great flavor. Very filling. For a mini size- it was 5.99 and was plenty for one person. The next size up is only 7.99 and can feed two people for sure! read more

Amazing wings and they don't skimp out on the heat! Definitely found my new wing spot.

Wow prices ridiculously high. For $10 you spend you get a little cup size food that's not enough for a two year old kid, the food was ok.

Called order in& ready when we go there. Clean Many choices. Friendly staff. Prices like other wings Location. Nothing too different for the industry of wings Yes will visit again read more

I've always enjoyed the food here. But today I waited an hour and never got the food. Place is poorly managed and have no clue how to take care of customers. I will definitely not come back here. read more

UPDATE: This is for the El Calhon location - my mistake for selecting La Mesa as that's where I thought I ordered from. Costco wings microwaved. An additional star because they arrived warm via Uber Eats. Will not order again (maybe in-house they actually cook them) read more

I brought my lil dude here a couple times for snacks after school when he hungry before his appointment nearby. Like the name suggests they pretty much have chicken and a few sides. It's really not much to look at inside or out, but they do a small amount of seating both indoor and outside in the patio. I honestly don't remember what was here before because this spot seems to change fairly often over the years. The service is alright, it's consistent and they have been friendly. The business itself has never been busy when we have come by here so we've never had to wait long for takeout. There's plenty of parking in front of the restaurant. The menu is pretty standard and typical for a chicken place. I tried a couple bites of the kid's food and it was okay, but nothing special and nothing I would go out of my way for either. read more

For a quick run definitely those buffalo chicken fries. But please let your fries still for a bit before serving them. Way too greasy!

This place is very sporty with sports gear hanging on the wall and TVs set up around the area. It looked very nice and the ambience is casual. I had no trouble parking (came during brunch) and they had a big lot! I ordered their buffalo fries with garlic parmesan and their boneless wings: 5 mango habanero and 5 BBQ. Note that they do have the boneless wings for 59cents each on mon-wed!! The buffalo fries were on point! It wasn't sauced to heavily and the fries gave it a nice twist. The BBQ boneless wings were also great. It was just a tad bit on the saucier side, but that's fine. The mango habanero was at a good spice level. However, I didn't really like the taste. It tasted kind of citrusy but the mango taste was there. Not for me, but if your down to try something out there go for it! read more

Definitely not coming back. First of all the place smelt so funky when we walked in. It should have smelt like some fried chicken. I got the three strips meal and they were so small. It came with soda and 3 breadsticks and the breadsticks were so tasteless and dry. The service was whatever, she didn't seem happy at all. On top of things they started to mob and close around us. You close at 11pm not 10pm. Giving a two star due to the bombass fresh fries tho. read more

5 garlic parmesan wings with fries, drink, carrots $12.99 + 35 cents credit card fee + taxes. Parking and seating not a problem. TVs inside but not outside. read more

wings empire is not it! Tasteless, tough, and a waste Of time! Regret spending my $24 bucks but since I am Out of state I had limited options until I got my rental the following day! The two stars is for the breadsticks! read more

This location is so much better than the one in El Cajon. I live close to the one in El Cajon actually but I gladly make the drive to LA Mesa atleast once a week for the G.O.A.T buffalo fries. The service is friendly and fast, and the quality of the food is amazing. Cesar is my favorite cashier/cook there. He's so cool and I know whenever he's there my buffalo fries will be done perfect. The El Cajon location needs to take notes cause they suck. read more

I'm sorry to say but after all they hype we tried this today....Huge disappointment! As soon as we walked in the door it smelt like diarrhea. It was over the top...did that stop us, no...figured maybe it was something from the bathroom...NOPE. Got our food and nothing to write home about. Not sure if it's the location or this is typical. All I can say is the straight diarrhea smell should have been the clue...can't say we've ever gave something as much as the benefit of the doubt as we did today. AVOID! We will try another location in a better area... We tried 3 small orders of buffalo fries: lemon pepper, hot, and mango. AVOID mango-just weird. The other two would have been good if fresh. Unfortunately, the fries seems to have been waiting for us and the chicken seemed reheated..so not the best. Luckily it only set us back about $20. Please avoid! read more

Lacks flavor. Took over an hour to prepare food. I ordered 3 separate meals. One I'd love to touch on is the buffalo fries. The flavor was over powered by mayo. I could not even taste the buffalo sauce. The fries had no seasoning or flavor. Bland as hell. The fact that I paid $55 for this meal, I expected more. A taco shop would of been a better choice. Anywho, Stay away...you've been warned. read more

Ordered a 10 piece and all of my sauce wasn't on the chicken at all. I don't think it was even poured on there. Think they just poured it inside of the container. read more

My order was spouse to be ready for pick up at5:29 it was not ready until 6:05 I was waiting outside for 30m I use this app because I thought when the food was ready I can just come in and pick up my food read more

This place was sad. Ordered around 8:30pm , so the food still should've seemed a little fresh. But it looks like I got leftovers or the scraps of the night. The wings were dry and stale. I couldn't eat them sadly. I also ordered a side of fries which tasted old and had no salt or flavor. They were cold as well. All in all won't be returning. Go to Wings n Things, it's much better and worth your money. read more

Wings Empire - chicken wings and carrots in a styrofoam container - Chicken Wings Near Me - La Mesa, California

I ordered food on the 29th of April. Apparently the driver did not deliver the food to the correct address. When I informed Grubhub they refunded me the money and told me to re-order the food. I attempted to do so and the order was cancelled from the store 4 times. I was informed that this was because the driver picked it up and the store lost money. I fail to see why it is my fault that a brain dead driver could not use googlemaps but this should not make me a phariah. I expect better service and did not recieve it. These people are unprofessional. read more

Groupon was advertising 50% off on the buffalo chicken fries at this location... turns out, it was for the tenders... I was disappointed because I specifically wanted the fries... oh well... still got the fries. There was 1 cashier & 1 cook & the cashier seemed frazzled... almost came across as rude. I gave her a pass because maybe she was having a tough day. I went around noon so I would think they would have more help around that time. The fries were really good though... but this is not my favorite location. read more

I have been interested in checking this place out since my wife started working close by in January and I finally got a chance to check this place out yesterday. I ordered 15 wings with "hot" buffalo sauce as well as 6 breadsticks. I arrived and the staff was pleasant and friendly. There was a bit of a smell of what I could only describe as "dirty mop water" when I came inside. (That should have been a huge red flag to me). I took the order to go and drive back to my house in Chula Vista to enjoy. Well, I opened the wings and noticed that they were what I would consider "very undercooked". The wing sauce was like a cheap imitation of "Frank's Hot Sauce" and it looked like the wings just had the hot sauce poured on top of them. I had to continue cooking the wings in an oven to make sure they were completely done as the outside was rubbery and definitely not "done". I will say that the breadsticks were good. Would I go there again. No. I did see that there were plenty of folks coming in and out ordering the Buffalo Fries so those must be one of their bigger sellers. Unfortunately my experience with the wings was far less than stellar. read more
