Traditional Wings with veggie sticks (Medium & Mango Habanero)
Abelita-Rose F.

Overall I gave a three rating due to the fact I love flavor and HOTNESS and that was missing on the French fries and mango habanero flavor. I, however, loved the fried zucchini and the fresh homestyle favor of the ranch. The fries were fresh cooked but has not season or salt so I ordered a side of cheese to dip them in. I got the 8 pc traditional wings with medium hot and mango habanero. I didn't get a hotter traditional buffalo because I thought the mango habanero was gonna knock my socks off. My biggest disappointment was the mango habanero because it was on the HOT side of the chart but was actually sweet with no hotness on them at all. The medium was about a mild level but the wings were edible just not the flavors I was expecting. It atmosphere was nice with tables and high tops to choose from with sit in or take out available. The two woman working were sweet and helpful. Besides wings there were Buffalo fries, cheesecake and even ribs (that had me curious) available. Other than the flavors on the wings and fries, I'd probably visit Empire Wings again.

Hair in my 6 Breadsticks! Gross!
Deandre J.

ordered food yesterday at this location... was presented with hair cooked into my breadsticks and was offered more hairy breadsticks in return from andrea the cashier! she was nice, but an awful counter. never will i feel comfortable eating breadsticks from here again.

Lemon Pepper wings with feathers

Removing feathers from chicken, tossing with wings in sauce, and frying them enough. Fry French fries longer to reduce sogginess (this was requested).

flies all over the counter

If I could give 0 stars I would. I usually go to the Wings Empire on orange avenue but it closes at 9 and it was around 9:05. I saw that this place closes at 10, so I tried calling to place a phone order but no one was picking up the phone. I decided to go in person and order. The food took 25 mins to complete maybe even longer. Initially they gave me the wrong order so I had to wait even longer to get the correct order. While we were waiting there were flies all over the floor, counter and tables. Gnats were going on my clothes and falling on my face while I waited at a table for my food to be done. By the time I got my food and left, I felt so itchy by being in the restaurant. I will not be going back and will stick to going to the one on orange avenue.

Oh also the carrots and celery frozen and defrost with some sort of white slime carrots.... Grosssss food...

Super dry chicken meat like double fried. Mac & Cheese is water and Mac salad water. These guys were on top but maybe it went to the head or new owner. Either way wow not good. It's like smoke ribs smoked 12 hrs to super dry meat they suck no joke.... Crappy to say it short............................

"TENDERS"
Kimberly P.

I called in for a 10 tender meal and a side of breadsticks. I was told 15 mins and no issue there. My issue was upon receiving my food and unfortunately not checking until I got home I noticed my "tenders" were more like chicken nuggets. I was like blown away I feel played. Shame shame

I ordered some buffalo chicken fries with mild sauce with a little bit of mango habanero. It was perfect and beautiful. It was delicious. It was the right amount of sauce, the right amount of fries and the right amount of meat. I definitely recommend going here!!!

Boyfriend and I always get our Buffalo Chicken Fries here !
Dalilla C.

My boyfriend and I always come here to get some Buffalo fries every once In a while with a side of 6 bread sticks and it's always the bomb ! Definitely recommend getting food here ! Always delicious. Order ahead over the phone so by the time you get there ,you just need to pay ! Typically they just ask for a name when ordering over the phone . COVID - they do not have dine-in seating nor outdoor seating . Take out and delivery only . They have 6 ft markers on the floor for social distancing.

Honey bbq and French fries
Lovely L.

I ordered Uber eats to support local business's during this quarantine time and they failed miserably. Wrong sauce on strips. Missing breadsticks and ranch. Watered down orange soda. Never again.

Upon going to my dead people grocery (Vons- it's like the walking dead in there) I saw a different…read morefood truck outside the beavers house (Belching Beaver) and I saw WINGS. If there is one other thing besides sausage that I love, well its wings...so I was IN. They have only been around 3 weeks so I'm going to be nice. I am feeling charitable since it's the holidays. I understand kinks need to be worked out in the beginning. My first batch of wings were bloody and raw. I immediately took them back. I learned my lesson after my first near death experience with under cooked wings at Hooters years ago. I am actually surprised I still eat wings after that I was so sick lets not go there. ANYWAY They got it right the second time and apologized claiming there was a fryer malfunction. No problem I understand. So $12 for 10 wings seems steep but they are rather large wings. They had a decent variety of sauces I opted for honey sriacha and garlic buffalo. Both sauces were very spicy which I LOVE that is a huge plus in the wing book. So many people claim they are hot and they are not. The other plus; BLUE CHEESE which should be always served with wings with the option to add crumbles or just straight blue cheese. They also have ranch for all you posers. The second batch was cooked almost perfect in my book. I like a lot more crunch factor. Next time I will ask for extra crispy because while they had some crunch they were also soggy and over sauced in my opinion. But I still enjoyed them. The sriacha honey was better than the garlic buffalo but both were good. Not great or spectacular. Hopefully they up their game with time. They were better than Dirty Birds and i am not a fan of DB but for some reason a lot of you yelpers are.

At the San Diego zoo centennial, I was so excited to see a wing truck that I did not even consider…read moreanything else in the food truck lineup. Well hindsight is 20/20. I should have passed. The only thing that separates your wings from anyone else's is your sauce. Well the sauce is Franks red hot. Needless to say, the wings can't make up for the lack of an original sauce to cover them. Fries were undercooked, wings a bit over cooked, overall a sad attempt at a wing dinner.

I came across Soul Food City on Yelp and decided to give it a try. While it was a bit hard to find…read moredue to its hidden location, the trip was well worth it. The staff were incredibly nice, guiding us through the menu and helping us decide on the two sides with two options meals. When handing us our food, they mentioned and apologized that the mac and cheese was not up to par and encouraged us to come back and try it again. He was right--the mac and cheese was overcooked, but the flavor was still there. I appreciate the honesty. The pork chop, catfish, and chicken wings were seasoned to perfection. The breading was light but crunchy so delicious I wanted to eat all the small crumbs off my plate. The candied yams were flavorful, and the best part for me was the banana pudding. It was the best banana pudding I have ever had. Overall, I had a great experience, and I'll definitely be back to give the mac and cheese another shot and eat more delicious southern food in SD.

Great find in the Lincoln Park area! It's a little hard to find. I was looking for a store front,…read morebut it's just a walk-up window. There are 2 tables outside for seating. The staff is so friendly and was very helpful with the menu. There were sides that weren't on the menu, like the fried okra and french fries. We ended up ordering them as sides for the chicken wings. We also ordered the catfish with mac n cheese and collard greens. For dessert, we got the peach cobbler. Other desserts they have are banana cream pie, strawberry-banana cream pie, and chocolate cake. They all sounded good, but the peach cobbler was highly recommended. The cornbread muffin made it on the order too. All the food was delicious and perfectly seasoned! The catfish and chicken were juicy. The catfish tasted fresh and not too fishy. The mac n cheese and collard greens were the best out of the sides we got. Cornbread and peach cobbler were also very good. The cobbler wasn't too sweet, so I enjoyed it. I'm really glad I found this place on Yelp. I highly recommend giving them a try!
