Me and my husband stopped into Wingstop today, and the experience was just... alright. Not terrible, but definitely not what I expected.
When we first walked up, my husband asked, "Are y'all even open?" because they still had that little lockbox thing on the door, like the kind people use when they go out of town. I know it's probably standard (Marco's Pizza next door had one too), but it threw us off. And then when we walked in, the energy was flat. No greeting, no smiles, just that vibe like nobody really wanted to be there. I literally said, "You don't wanna be here, do you?" and chuckled to myself.
We asked about the menu and the girl at the counter, Bri or Bry (not sure on the spelling), was giving us prices. At first I thought she didn't know how to ring us up, but she actually did, I was just asking a lot of questions. She kept it cool, but didn't smile until the very end when she said, "If you do the survey, you get free fries. My name's Bri!"
And I was like, "So wait... we gotta do work just to get some food?" And she said just smiled.. like, "Yeah, you gotta do some work to get the free stuff." We both laughed, but I wasn't wrong! It's like every little thing costs extra, no family-sized options, just à la carte everything. I ended up spending nearly $30 just for my husband and myself to get some meat.
I ordered my go-to: 8 lemon pepper tenders (my fave), and my husband got the mango habanero wings. Food was fine, no complaints there. But between the pricing, the setup, and the lack of energy when we walked in, it just didn't feel worth what I spent.
Not the worst place, but definitely not the best. Might try it again on a different day, but right now, it's giving "meh.
