Let me start by saying I HAVE NEVER BEEN A FAN OF WINGSTOP. 😂
Like, you could not pay me to eat Wingstop. I had some horrible experiences with Wingstop years ago where the chicken was undercooked, and after that, I was DONE. I felt like their chicken was never fully cooked, the flavors weren't giving, and I just could not understand why people liked it. My husband, on the other hand, LOVES Wingstop and has always eaten it with no problem. Me? No ma'am. 😂
Then we went to Chicago recently, and I decided to give Wingstop another chance. I got the Hot Honey Rub, and I was SHOCKED. 🤯🔥 It was actually GOOD! Like…really good!
So I started thinking maybe it was just Chicago. 😂 I told myself, “Okay, maybe Wingstop down here in Georgia is still trash, but Chicago Wingstop is different.” My cousin also told me that Wingstop is actually a better option when you're craving wings because of the oil they use and how they prepare their chicken, so I figured when we got back home, I'd give it another try.
There's a Wingstop not too far from my house, but I was STILL skeptical. We've been trying different wing spots—Cafe Wing Max in Hiram, American Deli in Hiram, etc.—and I kept saying, “We really need to see what this Wingstop is giving.”
Then I looked at the reviews. 😩
And I was like, “OH NO. These reviews are BAD.” 😂
But let me tell y'all something…
I have been to this Wingstop FOUR TIMES in the last month, and they have NOT MISSED.
I don't know where the negative reviews came from. I don't know if they're under new management. I don't know if people just caught them on bad days. I honestly don't know. But what I DO know is that based on my four-plus experiences within the last month, I've had nothing but good experiences.
My fries have been fresh. 🍟
My wings have been cooked perfectly. 🍗
My dry rub has been seasoned exactly how I requested.
My food has been HOT every single time.
Everything I've ordered has been in my bag.
And I haven't had any issues with the quality of my food.
And trust me, I intentionally waited to write this review because I wanted to make sure I wasn't just having a good first experience. But after going back FOUR TIMES, I'm comfortable saying this location has been consistent for me.
The only real issue I've had was when I called to place an order and was told they don't take phone orders for more than 10 wings—you have to come inside and place the order. It wasn't a huge deal because I usually get a 6-piece or 8-piece combo anyway. My husband sometimes wants 10–15 wings, so it was just a little inconvenient. I could have ordered online, but I was already right there, so I just went inside. 🤷🏽♀️
Customer service has also been good overall. There was ONE interaction with an employee where I was thinking, “Baby…1 + 1 should equal 2. What are we doing here?” 😂😂 But that's neither here nor there because overall, the good definitely outweighs the bad.
So, as someone who has historically HATED Wingstop, I have to give credit where credit is due.
This location has completely changed my opinion of Wingstop.
Four visits in one month, and they haven't disappointed me yet. I will absolutely keep going back! 🔥🍗
