When it comes to a place like Wingstop, I'm the kind of freak misfit who only goes there for the Cajun fries. That being said, this is certainly not the only item I've sampled here. Ergo, I can briefly describe this place via my own personal experiences and biases.
Outside of the aforementioned Cajun fries I order as a compliment to whatever main course I'm eating from an alternative source, I can tell you the wings here are...okay. Come to think of it, the lemon pepper wings are honestly the closest thing to being considered "good" in my book.
Look, I get that this place has fans. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't exist. But when I say that I've better wings elsewhere, I'm mainly referring to the fact that there are basically two types of buffalo wings or....wings in general: the kind that are seasoned first, and the kind that rely solely on the sauce to flavor the wings.
And....pro tip: when you have a wifey that can make bomb-ass wings at home, your palate tends to know the difference between the two.
I remember years ago when I tried the boneless buffalo wings the one and only time. They were quite gross actually. Greasy, thick breading which barely represented actual chicken pieces. Of course, they're a chain so....I presume this would be the case across all locations.
As for the Cajun fries, the one complaint I have is the inconsistency of seasoning. See, at first...they held back on the Cajun seasoning, to the point where they simply tasted like regular fries. So naturally, we adjust fire by requesting extra seasoning. The results of which tend to vary depending on the cooks' mood, I guess.
First time, they came back just about right (for us). The next time, they came back almost overpowering. But...cool life-hack here: dip your copiously seasoned Cajun fries in some blue cheese and you'll mitigate the spiciness in a rather delectable fashion.
The restaurant itself looks standard. Parking lot is accessible and easy to pull into. At least this place is on the far side of downtown. So...not as crowded with traffic. Since I never set foot inside one of these places, I can't talk much about the decorum. If anything, it's a little surprising to me that a place like this has dine-in tables.
At the end of the day, I will always be that weirdo who goes to this franchised wing factory shop for the fries as opposed to the wings. But at least they're not as lame as B-Dubs (I told you I have biases). Wingstop gets 3 copiously seasoned baskets of Cajun fries blazing like fire out of 5. read more
