Wingstop finally opens in Norcross off Jimmy Carter Blvd & Singleton Road. It is in the same shopping center as Hibachi Grill and Supreme Buffet. I was excited to try because I wanted a wing joint closer to home.
I decided to order the wings online for convenience. I preordered it many hours in advance so when I get off work, I'll just stop by and pick up. I ordered three orders of 15 boneless wings - hickory smoke bbq, Hawaiian, & Mango Haberno around 5 pm.
Around 4:30 pm, I got a phone call about my order to make sure I actually was going to come pick it up. Hmmm yes. I never had anyone call to confirm cause I've done that before, whether or not it's at another wing or pizza joint. I like to make sure I have my order.
When I got there, I almost got run over by a car for someone not paying attention and stopping, only to come to realize that it's employees of the place. Walking inside, I said I was there to pick up an order I after calling. Guy at cashier rudely said, "calling? No one called." I corrected myself and apologized and said it was online. He said to himself, "I knew it wasn't calling, I would've known," very rudely. He repeated my order and I said yes. Then had to throw in, "I don't know why you order sooooo many wings," not even in a joking way.
Everyone there is Latino, not that it mattered or not to me but that's something I noticed. Interior, it looks clean and nice.
Wingstop really has to get better employees. Not welcoming at all. All of this so far and nothing about the food. When I finally got home, I bit in the boneless chicken wings. I did like it. It was flavorful and juicy. However, some are really small pieces, it isn't consistent and it counted as a piece which is a total ripoff. I really like all the flavors - Hickory Smoke bbq, Hawaiian, & Mango Haberno. My favorite is definitely the Mango Haberno. Hubby thought that the wings had way too much sauce and overpowered the taste but I'm okay with it. Next time, I will get it plain. Hopefully I will get better customer service and not get run over.

I went back and decided to dine in with bestie and daughter. Definitely better customer service. However, food is just still average. Bestie even agreed. We got the atomic and mango haberno. We felt the atomic was nothing but vinegar and lots of black pepper seasoning. This time mango haberno was just average. Daughter got the fries and it was not good at all. It was soggy, salty on top, while you got to bottom, nothing but sugar on top.
I'm really picky when it comes to wings because the way I see it. If I can cook and make wings at home, I rather do it. A wing place got to blow my mind. I wonder if I will ever come down to finding a place that I will enjoy the wings. read more
