Went to Chipolte - line was out the door so opted for Wingstop. I was their only customer at noon. Got the Hawaiian chicken sandwich. Bread was dry, Hawaiian meant pineapple spread on the buns. Chicken was tough - didn't seem like they brined it. I wonder if this is a franchise scam? Pay your $90000 up front (3 locations minimum) and the franchiser gets rich? . . read more

Food was delicious. The wings had lots of flavor. Service was awesome as well. The restaurant atmosphere was pretty legit. Overall -- I'd go back again for sure. read more

Wings are great super crispy just ho I liked it super recommended, just perfect for a midnight snack

Fries were old, same with the wings. I got maybe 4 fresh wings out of the 8 piece combo I had. Ordered a Dr Pepper and receive a Diet Coke? Decided to stay in and not go grocery shop and ended up paying the price. Use discretion when shopping here. Seems that their management doesn't keep a close eye on quality control with how old this food seemed. Really disappointed I spent 32 dollars for food that won't get ate. read more

The food was amazing. It was perfectly cooked golden brown. and Dylen, who served us was very nice and he made sure everything was OK with our food and he even wiped down the table for us. The ambience was very nice. I love all the posters on the outside.(Dylen deserves a raise.) read more

I love wings and even though they're a chain I'm glad to see them open up a location here in town. They aren't the best wings I've ever had, but I'm a southern boy and the standards are pretty high. For a chain location on the Left Coast they'll do. The Original Hot isn't that hot, but they're a decent wing. I enjoyed the Louisiana Rub, too. My companion enjoyed the sweet Hawaiian and we both liked the Hickory Smoked BBQ. She thinks they add too much sauce, but I don't think she's had been to enough wing places yet to appreciate wings smothered in sauce. I probably would have given them four stars but we had to wait about 20 minutes while they filled an endless procession of online and delivery orders. I was reaching the point of demanding a refund when our order finally came up. I'd think that people standing there waiting would get bumped to the front of the queue. read more

Who would of ever thought Santa Barbara would allow us to have a Wingstop! Not only that but since day one, which was last week for the Grand Opening this place has been super busy. Every time I would attempt to come here they had a crowd of people waiting outside. Well I finally had a chance to try it last night and the wait time was about 10 minutes. Not too bad! As I sat inside waiting for my order it gave me a chance to observe the staff and customers. The majority of customers had placed their orders online which I encourage you to do if you have a big order or short for time. They also offer Door Dash but a bit of warning if you order fries; mine were a little soggy by the time I got home. They were well seasoned but a little too salty for my taste. The staff here was doing there best to keep up with orders and help customers find their brown bag of food waiting on the table for pickup. For the people complaining about the service, you're not the only customer! Obviously this is a new restaurant and you can't expect it to be perfect. Especially when they are getting slammed with orders. There is bound to be mistakes or long wait times so use your common sense and cut them some slack! The bad reviews have no profile picture so don't pay attention to the trollers here. As for my wings, I ordered the lemon pepper and habanero mango. They were beyond my expectations in flavor! The lemon pepper was perfectly seasoned and the habanero mango was sticky, spicy n subtly sweet. Both were perfect! Can't wait to try more flavors. You can order all flat wings or classic. I had the combo of both but I think I prefer all flat because they are easier to eat. At least in my opinion they are. Overall I'm stoked we have a wingstop! I don't do fast food restaurants that often but for chicken wings, count me in please :) read more

IM SO EXCITED! When I am telling you I have been waiting for a Wingstop to finally open in Santa Barbara, I meant it. When I first came to UCSB 3 years ago, I craved Wingstop and wished we had one here, now we do! Located next La Cumbre Plaza, come on down and check out the new wingstop!! Since they just opened yesterday 2/9/21, I recommended doing a mobile order in advance then going there to just pick it up. Or else you will have to wait forever in line. My mobile order only took 15 minutes and when I got there, they had this whole line of tables with over 20 orders on it. Talk about EFFICIENT & DELICIOUS. Also, I called them beforehand to make sure they were open & considering they were super busy, they answered the phone right away! The workers were very nice! Considering it was busy, they did a really good job at keeping things orderly and covid conscious. If you're looking for some good boneless or bone-in wings, Wingstop is your place! My personal favorite flavor (that is completely underrated) is Louisiana Rub! Also pay the extra money and get ranch, they have the best ranch I have ever had in my life! And if you're looking to burn your mouth off, or simply just loooove spicy wings I recommend the Atomic or Mango Habanero. Popular flavors: - Lemon Pepper - Garlic Parmesan - Mango Habanero All time personal favorites: - Louisiana Rub (boneless) - RANCH - Fries (they put a little bit of sugar in their seasoning it's delicious) read more

I was desperate and saw the chicken sandwich advertised in the window, so I thought I'd give it a shot. First of all, even though I got mine too eat in the restaurant, it came in a styrofoam box. Wtf?! It's 2022 and they're still using styrofoam. Secondly, the sandwich is just fried chicken and pickles on a bun. That's it. It comes with a side sauce, but I was expecting lettuce, tomatoes..something besides meat and pickles. And third, the fries were disgusting - greasy and soggy. Maybe the wings are worthwhile, but I won't know because I'll never be back. read more

How can wings be bad you may ask!? They can't! The service was good the most times I went but just seems like something is always forgotten on my order. I go here once a month or so since I work near it but I've learned to thoroughly check my bag to ensure everything is there. Can't go wrong with the Spicy Korean flavor read more

I had to see what all the fuss was about opening week. To begin, I'm not a crazy wing addict like many other people, so take what I say with a grain of salt. Nor have I ever been to a Wingstop franchise before--which chain restaurants are few and far between in Santa Barbara (thankfully). I placed an order for the Big Night In Bundle (25 Boneless Wings, 3 flavors, and 3 dips for $16.99) to be shared amongst three of us. I utilized Wingstop's online ordering website, which was super easy and user-friendly. The biggest decision was when it came to deciding what flavors (some for a limited time), seasonings and dips we would like with our wings. I thankfully had to follow my fellow Yelper's judgement on this one: Plain chicken tenders (a good place to start), Mild wings (try the basics first), and Hawaiian wings (what seemed to be a crowd favorite and had a bit of a welcomed kick). We enjoyed the wings for what they were. They weren't fatty or had any odd chewy sections, but instead were filled with decent white meat. The breading was tasty and spread throughout evenly. The sauces, however, were a bit overwhelming similar to Buffalo Wild Wings. We preferred the plain tenders the most dipped in the dipping sauces of ranch and honey mustard. I guess we are basic. My biggest complaint is that, as with most junk food, their menu consists of a lot of carbs (breaded wings, french fries, bread buns, etc). Definitely not a healthy option... However, one perk is that they're one of the few businesses open late in town (until midnight daily!), so for those who want to fill their gut after a long day or drinking, here's the place. read more

YAY WINGSTOP SB!! I'm so happy that there's finally a wingstop in Santa Barbara. Whenever I'd be craving wingstop, I'd either have to drive to the one in Oxnard or the Lompoc location. This restaurant is located in the La Cumbre Plaza next to Chipotle. The inside is fairly small but there is an outside seating area. You can place an order online and avoid the crowds! The overall appearance of the place was clean and nice. The online ordering was easy and quick. We ordered the 15 piece meal for 2; which comes with 15 wings of your choice (up to 2 flavors), large fries or veggies, 2 dips and 2 drinks. This is a great choice especially for a date night dinner. We ordered our all time favorites which include the boneless mango habanero and the classic lemon pepper (bone in). If you like spicy food, I'd recommend the mango habanero. It has a good kick to it with plenty of flavor and sauce. The lemon pepper wings are delicious and seasoned so well. When we got there, there was a line. Some people were waiting to place orders and others were awaiting for their online orders to be ready for pick up. We waited about 10-15 minutes and our online order was ready. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. A cashier named Aaliyah helped us and she provided great customer service :) we definitely will be coming back and getting our wingstop fix. Keep up the great work wingstop SB! read more

I've been ordering from this place since it opened I always give him the benefit of the doubt to get my order right when it's missing pieces other times the wings are too dry even after I asked them to make them wet I don't know if they have their wires crossed and there there's always new people they don't seem to understand. I'm very disappointed in them. read more

I love wingstop very much. This is the greatest establishment to come to the Santa Barbara county in the past 20 years. The Garlic Parmesan and Lemon Pepper chicken make me feel so tingly and happy on the inside :) Don't even get me started on the ranch. Wowee. read more

Finally tried it. Don't get it. Expensive, average chicken. 2 stars for the 2 sweet ladies taking the orders and making the wings. Really don't get it... read more

The wings I got here were pretty good and meaty. I got the 24pc combo- 8 lemon pepper, 8 mango habanero, and 8 hot wings. The combo also came with 2 orders of fries but no drink, all for $26. The mango habanero had a good little spice too it and so did the hot wings. I really liked the lemon pepper flavor but the wings were a little dry. What made everything even more amazing was that I ordered online so I didn't have to wait in line or for the wings to be ready. Their website was quick and easy, unlike some other places. Definitely will come back when I'm craving some wings. read more

Each time I go there they get my order wrong or they "forget" something also not to mention the tall male cashier at night seems so fucked up. I'm very disappointed in this wingstop. Please do better in hiring people who aren't high on the job!!!.I will be contacting you supervisor. read more

Great Service! Food is prepared well and the wait is reasonable. Employees have a positive attitude read more

Stopped for a quick bite with my granddaughter, who preferred Chipotle, but I was craving wings. Many great options at this location but I settled on tenders naked, the tenders of course. They were delivered in about 6 minutes with fresh fries and really hit the spot. The portion was generous and delicious. This is the third time I have enjoyed the fare here and each time has been a very enjoyable experience. Give this La Cumbre location a try for game day or a quick dinner. read more

First time trying this place and everything is disorganized. They lost my online order. Some other guy who's order they couldn't find was found by the customer sitting out on a back table with no explanation of how it got there. The workers just said "sorry about that" without even looking up from what they were doing. Maybe it's just because this place is new but if this keeps up this place won't be in business long. Update - I tried the food. It seems like they leave the wings sitting out under a hot lamp after cooking, then just grab some and throw sauce on it when an order is up. The wings were over cooked/ tough. read more

I've been eating at Wingstop for years. Mainly the one in Rancho Cucamonga. I was glad to see one here in SB. Delicious wings, and the best fries. My only suggestion would be to pick up vs DoorDash. Unfortunately, the fries were cold the first time. The second time, they were soggy. I'd still recommend a stop in! read more

To the first timers and existing customers in the area that have had wingstop here are some tips. 1.Always check if they have your sauce. Sometimes they will not give ranch or whatever sauce you get and assume they gave it to you so check! 2. Always check if they have the quantity of wings or boneless wings are correct. 3. Now this is important and will save you the wait, ORDER AHEAD OF TIME yes that's right you can order online! for pick up through their website! 4.. The chain here JUST CAME OUT, THEY'RE NOT PERFECT AND NEITHER ARE YOU. 5. I love WingStop no matter what existing and newcomers tell me and will be coming to this one frequently. If you think your local wingstop does it better then by all means go! Like I said this Wingstop is new to the area, have to give it time. read more

OK, Wingstop makes wingman Rodeo look like 5 star. Ordered 20 wings, and only 5 were the big 1st joint. There was menu item to select all drummettes, which I chose, but for a $48 order, got ripped off again. Seems all the places selling wings in Santa Barbara are keeping the good part of the wing for their employees. I guess you have to go to Smart and Final and cook the wings yourself if you want to get a fair deal. Definitely not at Wingstop read more

After desperately ordering as it was one of the only option open, I'm pretty sure this place gave me salmonella. After contacting the company I received no reply from anyone. I will never eat here again. And I suggest you don't ever. read more

I would like to thank Teo, Taylor, and Dana for their great customer service. They were really helpful with our orders and questions. Plus they got jokes spicy like that mango habanero. Wings were awesome and definitely will be stopping by for the great service and tasty wings! Keep up the strong work and thanks for the laugh!!! read more

We were eating at Chipotle next door to this restaurant a while ago and couldn't help but notice all the long lines and constant stream of customers at this Wingstop which is right next door So this trip we decided to try it. Not too different from all the Wingstops I've ever been to. Pretty decent food. However my order took quite long. All I could chalk this up to was lots of customers and a small crew. This is quite usual at most places these days. So even though I had to wait I do understand the current situation that everyone is working with. Still lots and lots of college students, families and young couples here. It's very very busy. Must be a reason. Guess it's unique to the area, but we have tried this franchise many many times and it was pretty much the same. read more

The chicken is generally good, and the flavors and dips are fine also. Note that I only order mild seasonings, so can't comment on the spicy selections. The food does tend to be somewhat overcooked - especially the French fries. So would recommend that those be avoided. read more

After waiting for 45 minutes for my phone order comes out (a 10 piece meal). The food was in a sealed bag so I rip it open to check and my fries were missing and I was not given my drink. There was probably 4 other customers waiting for their orders and one said he had been waiting for 40 minutes. read more

Wings were super dry, and flavor was underwhelming. Dominos has better wings than Wingstop.

This place is hit and miss. I've had some good wings here and some really bad ones. Recently got Parmesan/Garlic wings. There was NO FLAVOR OF GARLIC in any of the wings! Very greasy! Was sick all night after eating them. Don't think I'm going back!! read more

Came by earlier today for lunch and was not disappointed! Ordered 2 orders of wings for my fiancé and I as well as the Cajun corn. Order was promptly ready considering it was right smack dab in lunch time and many people coming and going picking up orders. Wings were great, just as expected. I've come by many restaurants when they recently opened before and this Wingstop is one of the few that seems to know what they're doing already. Next time I come by I'll take pictures before I devour the food. read more

We had the boneless wings in mild flavor and the Thai ginger. They were both delicious and spicy. I love spicy! The fries were really good. I asked for a little of the Cajun salt and yum! I'll be back. read more

Was super excited for a wingstop to be in SB. Went and ordered just to get home and see there was only 7 wings in my 8 piece and only 9 in the 10 piece. It's not that hard to count and the amount of cheese fries they gave me was pitiful and had maybe 2 drops of sauce on them. They were also soggy and gross. Very disappointed and a horrible way to open a new location. read more

I ate there on Thursday and the wings were great!!! The team was very courteous My favorite flavors are mild and lemon pepper and my favorite side is fried corn Keep it up!!! read more
