I really wish there was a description of the wings on the website. When I did the online order I didn't know what the wing flavors had in them. It was all lemon pepper and very heavy. My fiancé and I had food poisoning for 2-3 days after eating. I really wanted to like it. And this location's wings are on the smaller side. Staff was nice.

My first impression of the restaurant was that the inside was clean and the staff is friendly. I ordered the catfish basket and was not disappointed! The fish was fresh, seasoned well, and fried to perfection! I will be back!

Best J.R. Crickets in town. The location downtown Atlanta service sucks and food is mediocre. I only come to this location. Redrick is always on point with the customer service and the delicious food. 10 stars for the exceptional service.

If you are interested in Crickets then you already know it's tasty. What you may not know is that location matters. Of the ones I have tried, I'd choose this location before dark. Area is descent and crowd seemed subdued. Inside looks like a club spot but the food comes fast and correct. Definitely a go to spot for us but again. Location matters. #Pkast

I was there during FOOTBALL season, as you know everwhere was crowded. I heard of J.R Crickets from some friends. I thought what could it hurt to try it out. We couldn't find a place that was not already a 2 hour wait. We got there it was still crowded but the Southern Hospitality was awesome. The food was amazing. If you are ever in the ATL you gotta stop and get yourself a bite!!!!

I walked inside this establishment today 4/29. A woman working the take out counter that Ive never seen decided to have the worst attitude ever. Basically you all lost 50 dollars because this woman had the worst customer service. I walked out the establishment because she basically told me i can take the food how it comes or i can leave. She didn't care to hear a customer out. I run my own business and i would not have a woman like this working my front counter. She doesn't care for this place or it's customers. It's usually a man with glasses working here that has a great attitude. I wont spend a dime here ever again if i see that lady. Fire her ASAP!!!! All I asked for was small wings. I would've paid extra. Ive been to this location multiple times and the other guys helps me out with no problem.

Me and my husband love the original Jr crickets and we went to this location and the food was absolutely delicious! It was better than the original to both of us and the wings were smaller and the fries were so good. We wanted something that was closer to us and this is just the spot we needed. The service was great as well thinking about going back today lol.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! I purchased the shrimp platter and the shrimp had the vein still in tack and I was disgusted! I called to the store and spoke with the GM/Owner his words who told me that this was a quality issue at the fault of his distributor and he told me he would be happy to reach out to them on my behalf?!?! At first I thought he was joking but he was serious! I then asked you don't inspect your food before you cook it and he said NO, again I was thinking he can't be serious so I asked again so you're telling me you don't check the quality of your food you're cooking before you prepare and serve it he again said no, his exact words were the deforst it and fry it in large batches! I said that a health hazard! He then proceeded to tell me he was not at fault and he would follow up with the distributors! I said wow this is crazy! He said one time he served someone coleslaw that had GLASS IN IT and he had to get on his distributor! He did ask after I prompted him of his response what he could do and I told him take accountability for the food being served at your restaurant!

I've been a customer of Orignal JR Crickets since the 80s and this location's lemon pepper wings with mushrooms was as great ■Wings- very tasty, small like I like'em, well seasoned, crispy & fresh ■Dipping sauce- to me JR Crickets has the best blue cheese! It's made fresh in their own kitchen ■Mushrooms-a different batter was used; a spicy batter which I wasn't aware of the change. It was a surprise needless to say & a little overwhelming but pretty good. Note: next time I'ma asked for the original batter hope they still have it. ■ Atmosphere-A great gathering place; clean, diverse Playlist ■ parking lot is very small.

I use to go to this restaurant on the regular before Covid and I never had a bad experience. Always gave more than enough food and service was good. Now I can't say the same thing, I got a catfish po boy and it was practically nothing on the po boy I was better off getting wings and the service from the server I had was horrible. She wasn't pleasant at all and I felt like she could care less. It was just a bad experience. Idk if they're under new management but they should definitely get new wait staff
Just stopped in while my car was being worked on. The service was fine and nice. Nobody in there, but a little family. I just ordered the catfish wrap. Tho coleslaw was a goopy weird flavors yuck fest. The wrap was just flavorless and bad. It took about 20 minutes or more to get my order too. First time in one of these shops. Never again

The wings are as good as the original, just not the customer service or atmosphere...

The food was good, but overpriced. Service was solid, as the ladies that were there made a good effort to get the food out on time. Place was a bit run down, and parking sucks. Drop the price about 20% and it would get another star IMHO. Try the jalapeños poppers, they were the star of the meal we ate.
