The wings are my addiction. So so good! Love this place. Servers are friendly and food is always prepared well. Wings are juicy and tender, seasoned well. My favorite are the buffalo garlic wings and fries. OMG! You gotta try.

Waiter Nicki was amazing, and the wings were the best ive ever had. just the OG buffalo. Cool place, super nice people, and an awesome find. Btw the buffalo chicken pizza was incredible. Super nice to us and our toddler and were very accommodating. Thanks y'all
Kid-friendliness: High chairs, lots of kids there before 7-8pm when it transitions into more of a bar atmosphere.
