People like to shit on Wingstop, but the location near me is excellent. Ordering them well done is a good move.

Definitely seems location dependent but the one by me that just opened is awesome

Absolutely location dependent. I've had the worst wings of my life at one shop.....and CLOSE to the best at another.

u/dstone55555 21h ago

Weird part is they were only like 5 miles apart lol

Duality of wings and man

There was one Wingstop near my ex's house that was awesome, we'd go every Sunday cuz it was so good. Every other location near me is awful but I keep trying because I think it'll be as good as the old place

The one near me is well managed, I’ve learned that it’s best to get the flavors you like and add your own heat, the ranch slaps, and a large ranch is an ungodly amount for not that much of an up charge

They’re on my doordash guilty pleasure list, because all the other wings near me you have to get up and go to them

I haven't been to a Wingstop in probably close to a decade because every time I went, the wings were so wildly overcooked. It was like jerky... But enough people like it, I guess I outghta give them another shot.

I do love their seasoned fries.

u/wayfrae 15h ago

Yeah I think it’s location dependent. I have to order them well done at the one by me otherwise they aren’t crispy enough.

u/act_surprised 20h ago

Also get the fries well done. Pretty tasty sugar fries with ranch

u/brownmanforlife 18h ago

My only issue is theres never enough sauce; otherwise excellent for the price point relatively.

u/Kudoses 22h ago

Wingstop is good. You just need to be specific about your order. They have a 20 for 20 deal going in my area and I just always tell them to go extra crispy. Pretty damn good results

u/modsrbottoms 22h ago

It all depends on the franchise owner. Some are terrible, others will make some of the best wings you can find.

u/ThrowinSm0ke 22h ago

Wingstop by me has good wings and they’re cheap. There not the best, but they are reliable

u/thefucksgod 22h ago

I always do the 20 for $20 and get 10 hot and 10 atomic and the flavor is perfect!

“Actually managed.”

As if the norm is not to?

I’ve never had good wings from Wingstop

u/SamiStyles90 22h ago

Wildly unnecessary slander. Wingstops worst day shit on most wings people try to pass these days.

13

u/Futureman16 22h ago

Couldn't agree more. They are consistently top-tier & their OG Buffalo Hot is God-tier. And 20 wings for $20??? Who can argue?

1

u/AMB3494 22h ago

Idk 🤷🏽‍♂️. Never had a good experience there. Wings were always dry as hell with minimal sauce. Guess it’s location dependent.

3

u/dstone55555 21h ago

Ever think to try another location? Seems they like to set up shop in urban areas, so if there is one....there is probably another not too far away.

u/wilkinsk 18h ago

Idk why you're getting down voted

u/AimeLeonDrew 22h ago

They never let me down being a chain and available even in super remote areas, just order them extra crispy and enjoy 😉

u/nulnoil 23h ago

I miss the Wingstop where I used to live. Top notch location that simply could not miss.

2

u/ChalkLicker 21h ago

Does the quality of wings at a single location change much? Only been to one and it was terrible. But sometimes that craving hits. Might try to get lucky there as last resort.

2

u/Background-Double743 21h ago

Wingstop has the best wings in a 20 minute radius where I live. Fat chance I’m gonna go to BWW.

5

u/Formaldehyd3 20h ago

BWW is solid if you sit at the bar, on a slow weekday afternoon.

When they're busy, they just sandbag and everything is cold, soggy, and dry.

2

u/ryanino 20h ago

Wish they had a Buffalo flavor. Their hot sauce just doesn’t do it for me.

2

u/parwa 20h ago

I'd have wing stop so much more if their fries weren't so weirdly sweet.

2

u/ButtsCarlton007 19h ago

I've started to appreciate Wingstop more the last few years. I think I like it better than BWW now.

2

u/countrybear78 19h ago

Those look good as hell!

2

u/embarrassmyself 19h ago

They almost always hit the spot by my house. Only 1 messed up order out of dozens. Always crispy and extra wet baby

2

u/Thayerphotos 16h ago

Chains often get too much hate just because they're a chain. Good is good regardless of who owns it

u/136AngryBees 5h ago

We just got a wingstop in my town last month. Made the mistake of going opening weekend, the wings were meh but the sauce was good. Chalked it up to them being slammed. Have gone back 2-3 times now and it hasn’t disappointed again. The 20 for $20 deal is worth it, and if I place an order and leave to pick it up, it’s done when I get there

u/Brap_Zanigan 20h ago

Just read the Google reviews for our local one and wow. Worst reviews I think I have ever seen lol.

1

u/ruballo12 47m ago

They aren’t bad just never get the wings hot/fresh. I get mine well done extra sauce. They are either well done with hardly any sauce or sauce but not well done. The only time they are hot/ fresh is when my wife orders the lemon Pepper. Idk why.

u/TGBlade 23h ago

Hit or miss on wing stop, but these look choice!

1

u/PatrioticLead 20h ago

Sometimes they have the right person cooking. My first time ever having it they hooked me up for sure. Other times the seasoning was off or my food was cold.

u/Chris_P_Lettuce 17h ago

Y’all have been posting bangin wingstop pics all week, and I’ve only ever had complete garbage from them - small size, under sauced, not crispy. It’s like we’re ordering wings from two completely different places. No quality control whatsoever.

Edit: if it wasn’t clear, these look bangin.

Wingstop is always good

u/SkinnyFatKidd 11h ago

Their wings quality is garbage nowadays and I used to love Wing Stop. I still go once in a while and a disappointment every time.
