When it first opened everything was ono. Plenty of sauce covering the chicken. As years went on the amount of sauce you'd get would vary. Sometimes it was almost dry. With that said, relate my review to what the restaurant was. Sadly it was closed when I was back in the Islands or I'd update my review to something current.

Good luck trying to mkae a phine order. THEY NEVER ANSWER THE PHONE!! The customer service is always hit or miss. Worker presentation isn't an issue here, to work. Because they hire all kinds of shady looking people. I always see different workers. The turnover rate, must be crazy. Majority of the time I walk in, they are not busy, look so serious, or just not working. How can they never pick up the phone? The owner here does not take this business seriously. Luckily they sell good chicken....sometimes. I still get an order with small wings that look deformed, burnt and hard or overcooked. Von's is down the road and Wing Stop is consistent.

The wings are great! The sauce is spot on. Get the blue cheese dip- it seems to be a ranch/blue cheese/sour cream pot of yumminess. The issues- fries are never hot. On several occasions we tried to call in an order (early afternoon) and they were out of chicken. No chicken?!? At a chicken wing place.

Walked in early afternoon on a Saturday. No one was there other than me so I could take my time ordering. 1.I'd say the prices are average Hawai'i prices (bit pricier than expected, but it's the norm here). 2. The wings were great. Hot, fresh-tasting and delicious. Not sure if it's because my order is the only one they had to focus on or what but I'm completely satisfied with this order. My husband lit up when I walked in the house with these for the football game. 3. The appearance of the inside could be a lot better. I felt like I was back home in the South, however I'd say the same for a restaurant there too. The lights were out for some reason too, and I couldn't understand the explanation from the clerk as to why behind her mask. 4. The clerk seemed busy but she was friendly. I'd come back and I'd recommend based on this experience alone.

Man all I gotta say is I love this place but it's gone through some change, food is never consistent, NEVER. Sometimes it's mean,... sometimes it's nasty as hell. And gotta watch out for when get the young boy working with the dirty fingernails like dude wash your hands. Kinda pricey for the overall experience and food quality. Fix my issues I'll fix my review.

Customer service on the phone is lacking . Had to repeat myself a few times because the person I was talking to wasn't listening. Food was ready in the approximated time i was told. When I came to pick up the food though I was a little uncomfortable because the lady in the front came from outside, had a mask on but proceeded to take it off once she came into the establishment to help me ? There's no plexiglass either so it's not very "clean". Floors were also sticky for some reason even though they had a wet floor sign... kinda makes you wonder what they're mopping the floors with. Overall I honestly just came for take out, dirty lickens is by far my favorite wing spot, I've tried Buffalo Wild Wings and I just like Dirty Lickens mild sauce and blue cheese a lot more than BWW.

Dry does not even begin to describe their chicken, I mean it was like saw dust when I but into it. And the taste was as if the oil had not been changed in months. I cannot get the burnt oil taste out of my mouth. I can't say I would be willing to give them another shot it truly was the worst chicken I have ever had. And we were the only ones there and it still took 20 minutes for our food.

We had dinner here a few months ago. The wings were overcooked with no flavor. Spend your hard earned money at KFC instead. We just passed by today and they are closed...on a Saturday? I guess they did not survive the pandemic.

Stopped by to grab dinner on the way home at my son's request. Sat outside and tried calling in my order because it was raining and they wouldn't answer the phone. Ended up going inside and it was empty. Lady told me the phone was broken. I wanted ranch for our wings and she told me it's $0.50 a ramekin, which is not a big deal so I asked for 4. She said to wait in the car and she'll bring out our food but if she doesn't come out in 20 minutes to come inside. In 20 minutes I go inside and she said it'll be 5 more minutes and she'll bring it out to me. 15 minutes later she brings out my food. She assured me everything was there so I didn't bother checking. When I got home, I had no ranch for my wings. The wings were good, would've been better if I had some ranch that I was charged extra for. We got the medium Buffalo and garlic parmesan. The chicken parmesan was ok, nothing spectacular. Seemed as if they just cut up their tenders and put it on top of penne pasta with canned sauce. Didn't have much sauce or any cheese. The pork chop wasn't the same as it used to be. I remember it being way better before. This time it was kinda dry and tough. We also got chili cheese fries that tasted kinda funny. We'd probably go back again but just for the wings and only if we're not on a time constraint.
At this time I don't know if they are open. I did not go there very often but it is usually steady busy. The lickings are always ono and it's your personal preference in flavory. Go with what you're craving and in the mood for. You will probably have something already in mind which is what led you to return in the first place. The staff is small but I have nevertheless received good service and friendly. Kaylee is a AIEA High School graduate and right out of the gate is a hard working girl trying to be independent and find her niche in her life and career. Honey mustard is an awesome saucy recommendation. If it were me, I would add some Asian rice musubis and perhaps local kine chips to the menu. Adding a bit more options, flavors and colors. I wish them all the best and hopeful they are still in business. Mr. AIEA

I'll give this place two stars because I don't know how it could take so long just to cook up some wings. I called and call and they don't answer and when they finally answer they just left me on the phone with no hello can you hold, they just put the phone down just so it doesn't ring again. Like how slow can this business get. The lady in the front said she was a few orders behind and I get it maybe all the orders came in at once but come on. All the other reviews that I see for this place are all about the wait how long does it really take to just fry some chicken and put some sauce on it. Or even make a salad. If you're that busy maybe you should hire more people. This is my favorite wing spot because it's actually good but the service is poor. Hope they pick it up.

Best wing place to go to been getting wings here since I was a kid. My dad used to always take us there to get wings and he was even apart of the wing club. Haven't been in a couple years and went back tonight and was super happy as always

Dirty lickins..more like tough chicken i got 3 chicken tender plates chicken nuggets and a 4 wing plate and those tenders were TOUGH i struggled so hard to bite one of those tenders my gums were aching now I will say the spicy sweet chili sauce was good...but my compliments end there the fries looked fried dried and laid to the side and the interior of the restaurant was just as bad but I will forever think abt that sauce

Wanted to try a different wing place, and I was really excited to come here, only to be severely disappointed. It was empty when we arrived, we placed our orders and were told to wait in the car. Almost half an hour goes by and the guy finally brings out some of our food (wings, and katsu), he then says that the rest of my order (teriyaki chicken) was gonna be another 8 minutes... it ended up being another 12-15. We ate some fo the wings in the car, and nothing about it was good. The lemon pepper was literally just lemon pepper sprinkled on the wings, the sauces on the others had no flavor and were bland. The Katsu and Teri chicken were both made with chicken tenders. Both items were VERY OVERCOOKED, dry and had no flavor. All of the tenders were also cut up and shredded which was really odd. I wasted almost $70 at this place. Don't make the same mistake I did. I'd give zero stars if that were possible. Very disappointed!
