We ended up at Wingstop because we just wanted a place to sit, talk and munch without the rituals of a full meal.
While ordering our 11-pc Batter-Fried Wings, the cashier told us that we had 3 FREE WINGS! Turns out they had a promo where you get free wings. I didn't even know about this promo!
So, the promo is, you get FREE WINGS, based on your order:
5 wings - 1 wing free
7 wings - 2 wings free
11 wings - 3 wings free
The free wings must be the same type (classic or batter-fried), and can only be one flavor. If you complete all the flavors on the card, you get a P1,000 GC! Promo period is from May 23 - August 31, 2016.
Too bad they don't deliver. They do have order pick-up, so next time I can just drive over and pick up my wings, or hang out there first, read a book. Gotta take advantage of the free parking at Circuit Makati while you can!
The 11-pc Batter-Fried Wings is P395, but because of the promo, we were actually getting 14 pcs! That's P28/pc. It's a mix of the drumette, and the wingette + tip.
We got the Lemon Pepper, Louisiana Rub, Honey Garlic and Teriyaki this time. Then after that, I also had some Wingstop again and tried the Garlic Parmesan and Mild Buffalo.
To me, the dry rubs (Lemon Pepper, Louisiana Rub and Garlic Parmesan) are the best flavors I have tried from Wingstop, Garlic Parmesan being the one I liked best, and will probably be the ones I will keep on ordering.
I didn't really like the Teriyaki - the molasses and some kind of lime flavor was too strong. I expected the Teriyaki to taste like sweet ginger soy syrup, so the molasses flavor threw me off. As for the Honey Garlic, I expected it to taste like honey and fried garlic, and was disappointed by the addition of the soy sauce component. It was milder, but still similar to the Teriyaki. The Mild Buffalo was just a mild hot sauce coated chicken, no ranch or blue cheese dressing included (must be bought separately). I was expecting a buttery, garlicky, sweet and hot sauced chicken wing.
Flavor-wise, I think I like the flavor profile of Frankie's Wings much better. This is not to say that Wingstop's chicken is not good. The chicken wings were crispy and juicy. Unfortunately, I just did not like the sauces I tried, and it's a personal preference. Who knows, you might turn out to like them! Fortunately for me, there are more flavors for me to try. The promo is a big incentive for me to go back and try the other flavors.
The restaurant is clean, everything is still new. Air-conditioning is cold, always a plus. They have a sink where customers can wash their hands, but they also provide plastic gloves. The sink was fun, you push the front of the sink with your knee to turn on the faucet. read more
