J.R. Crickets Downtown Reviews
I worked at the original location in the 80s(and a few sister locations) and they still have the best wings in the city without question. my personal favorite menu item, other than the wings, is the steak and cheese sandwich. I was saddened by hearing about the original location catching fire, but I am glad they rebounded.
I had an extremely disappointing experience at this location. I was served food that was RAW and OLD, which ultimately led to my hospitalization.

Menu
J.R. Crickets Downtown offers delicious food, particularly their chicken wings, which are praised for being crispy and fried to perfection. The restaurant has a nice storefront that caters to people on the go, and customers can order ahead if driving. Many customers love the wings, often ordering the 10 piece, Hot Buffalo, or Lemon Pepper with sides like sweet potato fries or onion rings. While the wings are a highlight, the ribs are not as well-received, described as tough, chewy, and lacking in smokiness. Overall, the restaurant receives a 4-star rating for its attention to detail and the quality of the wings. With amazing customer service, fast and friendly staff, and a minimal wait time, J.R. Crickets is a favorite wing spot in Atlanta. Some sides are vegan, making it a great option for various diets.
