This was a nice lunch spot to me. The service was nice kind ladies. I enjoyed the small talk . The food was hitting, the chicken was fried crispy and the rice was a nice touch.
Saw this place driving by decided to stop. I have to say best Philly I have had in a very long time. I will definitely be back to try other items.
As a seasoned wing "expert", I have tried nearly every wing joint in Gainesville. This is by far my favorite! Wings are personal. You like what you like, so I'll explain my rating. The wing size is perfect. Too big of a wing, or too small of a wing really messes with the sauce to wing ratio. I hate those big fat wings. They're just right. The finish is great! I prefer mine extra saucy, and the amount of "fry" they put on these is perfect. I do not like an extra crispy wing, but I do not like mushy wings. I like them right in the middle. They nailed it! Let's move on to the sauce. Most restaurants, wild wing, wing stop, etc, take a very lazy approach to their sauce. There is no character. It's red, it's vinegary, and it's mildly spicy. Good enough for your average wing schlepper, but not for me. Their sauce is with a substantial body. Coarse black pepper, quality hot sauce base, garlic, etc. it's a full flavored sauce that I could literally drink it's so good. I like a complex flavor palette. I do not like "foo foo" wings. They should taste like great buffalo wings, not mango, or ancho Chile, or chipotle garlic... but they also should not taste like they were fried then hastily splashed with Frank's red hot in between the cook's texting with his girlfriend, and walking out back for a smoke. There are few places that I'd actually drive an hour to get wings from. My top 4 are Three Dollar Cafe (the last local one for me is way over in johns creek) JR Crickets (amazing sauce), the Wings and Philly I just reviewed, and the Wings and Philly next to the Walmart on Hamilton road in Buford. Anyone else selling wings should just close as far as I'm concerned. Give this place a shot! Their fried rice is awesome as well, but under fried lately... I don't know what changed. Specify that you want it extra fried, and they'll do it. Don't skip the "Yum Yum" sauce. A-1!!!!!!
Love this place has the best fried rice and food is reasonably price, really enjoy this place. Plus the people that work there are really friendly. They have a large menu of different items from wings to sesame chicken. They have awesome hush puppies also.
The service was great! The cashier was very sweet and helpful. The space was clean. 100 health score. The food was hot and delicious!
