First time here.
It's a take out place only.
Great prices. Great hours. Very friendly staff.
I ordered 10 wings (5 gold and 5 tangy) and seasoned fries. $8.50 for the wings, $3.50 for the fries.
The wings are cooked almost perfectly. I like them a little crispier and may ask them to keep them in longer next time, but they were very, very tasty as is. They are whole meaty wings, not just the parts you get at many places, so the price is excellent.
The gold sauce is superb. They should bottle it.
The tangy sauce.... well, I'm not big on spicy hot food. I asked ahead of time and was told it was sweet and spicy. It is VERY SPICY. If there was sweet there, the spicy way overpowered it. My husband got a bite and had to spit it out and grab the milk. I just got a taste on a fork and the heat from it ruined my mouth to other tastes for a while. It was like eating a spoon of cayenne.
So, if you like low- to mid-heat wings, ask first about the flavors and assume the friendly guy taking your order has a different idea of what "hot" is than you might. :) I rinsed off the 5 hot ones and broiled them to warm them up, so all wasn't lost.
The fries. I'm a french fry snob and always on the look out for perfect ones. These are frozen crinkle cuts. They were nicely seasoned. Not cooked to crisp.
It's take out, so they're served in styrofoam containers. That's a nice presentation and quite expensive for restaurants. The thing about the combination of hot, thick fries not cooked to crispiness, and styrofoam, and a 10 minute drive to get to food back home to eat it is that in that short time, all the steam from the hot fries gets trapped in the styrofoam and causes those fries to turn to mush.
If styrofoam is the container of choice, maybe they could consider vented containers so that steam can escape. Or maybe paper boat thingys in paper bags, like some fast food places do. With the seasoning, these could be really good fries. They could be super excellent if they got a french fry cutter and made them from fresh potatoes. :)
Rated this a 4 because of the yummy great taste of the gold wings, the taste of the fries, and the friendly service. I've been looking for a while and I've finally found my wing place out here in the sticks. -

Today was my second time eating here. The wings are great and the philly sandwich is great but this time they added pickle lettuce and tomato which made the sandwich extremely soggy to my liking. My husband had a ed burger and he liked it but he said it wasn't the best he ever had. We also got 20 wings 3 flavors flatliner, lemon pepper, and hot seasoned. They were done and very flavorful. Our total was $35 give or take. Also I would like to add several family members recommended this place to me one from Lauderdale and another from Haywood. The reason I am rating a 3 is because the customer service was not great this time around. I was traveling from middleton TN and called and called no answer. So me and my husband used both phones to call in until one of us got a answer and he was driving and finally got an answer and tried to hand me the phone and the lady got rude. By the time I got the phone which
was like 2 seconds all I could hear is you can call back in a nasty manner and I said I'm ready and she was just snappy and then continued to say ok so what are we doing like 2 times. So me this is not good customer service and you never know who is on your line and what kind of money someone trying to spend. It took us 40 minutes to get there and the order was still not ready. I told them I would be back and when I got back it still wasn't ready. And I thought she was coming to bring out food after about 10 minutes and she came out to tell us to move our car and park. Your so busy taking orders and rush us to place an order but you have time to run all the way outside to monitor the parking which is only 2 inches big (sarcasm). This rudeness made the food experience bad for me this go around. Everyone is always saying we of color never support our black owned businesses but black people make it so hard to do. We as black people are our own worst enemy. Dont know if I will be returning just do to the customer service here I would rather go to wing stop where I know the customer service has always been great for me and the food is just as good and if not better -

Good customer service. The lemon pepper wings are good but the hot flavored wings are not as spicy as I like them to be. They charge for ranch and only fill the cup half way. So my advice is to go to the nearest store and buy you some ranch.

Some of the best "golden" wings I've ever eaten. The wings are big and flavorful and come with one roll, carrots, and celery. They are very mouth watering and every time I'm passing through Somerville I swing by there and get some wings. Although I do have one complaint-they come with very little ranch/blue cheese, and if you request extra you are then charged for it. I think personally for the amount of wings your getting, compared to the amount of ranch-it doesn't equal out. Maybe that's the plan...I don't know. But the wings are delish!
