Hellooooooo everyone! Our throaties have been waiting long enough. It's time we had some more fried…read morechicken on this channel! Santa Ana is kinda hidin' a gem! Now there are multiple locations, but OC's very own is right here! It's near 4th St, so there's plenty to do to work up an appetite too! Walking into the restaurant, you're greeted with some adorable decor, with nice little booths to sit your tush down at. They've got a tiny menu, so don't take too long to order! After all, you're really here for only a few things! To start, we got some fried pickles to snack on! Careful, these come out HOT HOT HOT, but they're the perfect texture and flavor, especially paired with that ranch. Crunchy, acidic, and making you want more! And more we got, with this classic combo, a 3 piece dark. Now it comes in dark or white or both, so you can choose what you like, but that juicy dark meat is just how WE like it. Mmm, look at that texture. Look at the give. Look at that amazing cripy shardy crunch. Yes yes yes. And that's not all. They've got sides to choose too. Baked beans and slaw. Perfect accompaniments, because you're gonna want something creamy, like those beans, and more fresh, like that slaw. We also got a mac and cheese to share, and it's that classic inoffensive and gooey southern mac that people love, including us!

I always see comments online talking about how Gus's has the best fried chicken in California. They…read morewere not wrong! Came in for dinner on a weekday and dined in. Loved how comfortable the restaurant felt. We started with the deep fried green tomatoes which were perfect. The batter was crispy and flavorful and the ratio of green tomatoes was perfect. We got the 8 piece fried chicken mix, Mac and cheese and Cole slaw. The mac was not that good, very Kraft like and the cheese on top didn't really melt. Coleslaw I liked, it was like KFCs if you like the sweet, creamy kind. Now the chicken, it was perfect. Perfectly crispy and the meat was so moist. The batter wasn't too thick and the seasoning was perfect. Service here was excellent as well and we were really taken care of. We will definitely be back!

Flappy's Wings sells the best wings in town, alright! We came in the other day for our second time…read moreand the quality and consistency is always good. Never a bad time here, just good vibes and lit entertainment. Sitting at the bar is dope because the TVs are there playing the NBA games and the employees are so cool and fun to talk with. Shout out to Andie and the owner for being awesome. Take a shot, ay! We have been going every Wednesday because they have the $1 dollar wings special so it's definitely worth the money. They have a variety of flavors to choose from. We ordered the Cajun wings, Fish Sauce wings, Buldok wings, and Butter Parmesan, and the Lemon Pepper. My favorite is the Butter Parmesan and the Fish Sauce one. Both are packed with flavors and the wings are crispy but also very juicy. If you guys want good wings and tryna drink up, come thru and support the locals! I don't wanna gate keep this spot, but they definitely deserve their flavors.

Hit this place with a HS drinking buddy. Overall a good place but here goes…read more Small and Can't accommodate Larger parties. Mostly bar seating and small high tops Service was very prompt and friendly (wasn't busy when we got there. Food came out quickly and wings were good but I'm not of the opinion the best I ever had but again they where good They had ample beer on tap and bottle choices Would go back again if in area but not the utopian wing experience the other reviews suggest.

Fire Wings has officially become our go-to Wednesday spot!…read more My boyfriend and I came for the Wing Wednesday deal and now we're hooked. Honestly, the deals on both Tuesdays and Wednesdays are so good it's hard not to come back every week. We've made it our mission to try every flavor on the menu...so far, not a single miss. The vibe is super chill, perfect for catching a game, grabbing a beer, and just hanging out. 10/10 our new weekly tradition!

First time here for Wing Wednesday! What a great deal $9.50 for 10 wings and a dip. There's a…read morelarge variety of flavors so I opted to try the Fire Wings (actually wasn't spicy to me), Saigon, and Garlic Parm. All three were very good and very different. The wings were nicely fried and crunchy. Not very big wings but can't complain with the great price. Staff was friendly and food came out fresh. Lots of seating and good place to watch a game and have beer and wings.

Ordered again to share with the family!…read more $33 for a small app to feed 5 adults and 2 kids My dad kept going for the tenders, which is a good sign My brother in law and cousin also enjoyed it Would be 5 stars if the fried rice and the French fries improved Tenders Were improved! They were more moist, but they weren't mind blowing. Easy to share with others if you cut them up. Fried rice I love fried rice, but this was a bit lacking. I had a couple bites and nothing about it really popped for my tastebuds. French fries Not that crunchy for French fries. My BIL said they def remind him of McDonald's fries in the 90s! They had an addictive seasoning, but without the crunch it's hard to continue eating I am a large fan of the chili oil though!

Wait, what's in the seasoning because the chicken is on fire! Wow, the flavor is seriously nothing…read moreI have ever tasted. I think he brines his chicken and seasons it with some kind of secret ingredient that I cannot figure out. Whatever it is, I'm loving it! The batter is crispy and delicious and the chicken is super juicy. Even the fries are cooked and seasoned to perfection. If you live in the Santa Ana area, DoorDash it to your house. You can choose either of the original or the spicy. He also sells his chili oil that is used for his spicy wings.

Came here because of Yelp, and this place did not disappoint!…read more If you're looking for some good old-fashioned wings, this is the spot. We loved every flavor we tried, and they even had plain wings for our young son, which was a huge plus. What really made the experience stand out was our server. I didn't catch his name, but he was working around 6:30 PM tonight. He was hustling the entire time, incredibly polite, and provided excellent service. We'll definitely be back!

A former UFC fighter is cooking up literally THE best wings I've ever had, and I bet you can't even…read moretell these are baked, not fried! Born out of his love for tiny finger foods to bring to get-togethers, Christian has been perfecting his recipes until he opened JD's Wingz in 2021, and you can seriously taste the love he pours into everything here, from the food to the customer service. The Big B's hot honey flavor came highly recommended, and I can totally see why. Their Bombz are their version of "boneless wings". It's kind of like a chicken meatball? but in my opinion, much better than dinky "chicken nuggets" XD You cannot miss out on their world famous garlic pull apart bread--this is sooo soft and garlicky. Bruv, I'm even blown away by the coleslaw they make in-house. Their deals, enthusiasm, and their special menu item "My GF isn't hungry" definitely make this great little wings spot my happy place. Thanks for reading! ^-^

Ironically the mama Mia and Magic were still my favorite but those bbq were great fresh. Wedges were fabulous and of course that blue cheese which is always a pleasant surprise.
