While, I was on my lunch break on Thursday April 20th around 1ish in the afternoon I decided to hit up The Amp since my job isn't too far from The Amp. Every time I would go to Innova Wings & Greens the place is close since I get off work at 6pm. I decided to have that for lunch since it was perfect time for me. When, I was at the front the wonderful, vibrant, high energy, and really good vibes from co-owner Monique Hawkins took my order & she was very helpful on the menu. I informed Monique I can't do any spicy hot wings, and I informed her I heard about they have the uncle Nearest BBQ sauce; which I initially wanted that for my wings which I stated to Monique I wanted the Southern BBQ The food & drinks are pricey, yet The AMP does house a lot of start-up businesses that's trying to grow so pricing at The AMP can be a little pricey. I decide to get 10 wings, as well as I ordered a fayo orange pop, and once you placed your order you'll get a ticket with a number. When, your food is ready whomever is at the front cash register will call out the numbers. Fun facts about Taste of Innova Wings + Greens it's a mother & daughter duo(Kara & Monique Hawkins), their 2nd location is at the Pacers arena(Gainbridge) on the fourth floor, and their family is helping with both locations. If, you want Taste of Innova Wings +Greens you can dine in, order to go, use food services Uber Eats, Door Dash, and Grubhub. Lastly, when my food order was ready I opened box right there at the front counter, and the wings turned out to be traditional wings instead of Southern BBQ. Which actually worked out in my favor I'll say a blessing in disguise due to the fact it was my first time having those wings. The wings were 10, flats, as well as drums, just enough meat on the wings, crispy, and it was fried HARD!!! I'm not exaggeration on the wings those wings were so fresh, delicious, juicy, and I didn't need no sauce on the traditional wings at all. Took, my wings to work which was still hot and fresh until the last wing. I will definitely be back to try the Southern BBQ wings. Right, now those traditional wings have a hold on me. Lol.

Spent the day at The Amp with a friend to get some work done. By the time lunchtime rolled around I was hungry! I decided to try this place out because Loaded Chicken Mac and Cheese just sounds so comforting. As I approached the counter the cashier was very nice and gave a few recommendations of what sauce I should put in my Mac and Cheese. After some conversation I decided to go with the Island J*** sauce. The cashier stated she would put the sauce in a container on the side for me. Waited about 10 minutes and finally my order was ready. Right off the bat I was upset about two things. One the sauce was not on the side but actually already on the Mac and Cheese and two the container they handed it to me in (pictured), which was not convenient for eating purposes at all. The actual Mac and Cheese was alright, nothing special and I wasn't really a fan of the sauce. Chicken seemed a little undercooked as well. Overall, service was great and food was mediocre. Not sure if I will be back.

So I went with my colleagues to the Amp, and I decided I wanted wings, I love the way it looks, the lady at the cash register was so nice and attentive, she answered all of my questions. I got the Sahara Sweet Heat wings and fries, I thought they were cooked to perfection! They were very juicy, crispy on the outside, the sauce was a bit of a let down though. I was waiting to feel some of the heat, but instead they just tasted super sweet. Not a bad taste, just wasn't what I was expecting. The fries were also cooked to perfection super crispy on the outside and super soft on the inside! I gave it a 4 star because of the sauce being such a let down, I would come back again and try a different sauce, or something else on their menu.

This spot is located in the Amp food court in the far right corner, along the wall, as you enter through the main entrance. You may luck up and find some free street parking, but it seems to be coming less and less spots available. There are always spots in the paid lot. You always have the option of dining in the Amp's dining area or on their nice outdoor patio, which I did. The restaurant serves wings, chicken tenders, salads, and a small selection of sides and sauces for your chicken. The staff there is very friendly. I ordered the chicken tender waffle sandwich in Sahara Sweet Heat sauce. It took about 10 to 15 minutes to have my food ready and it was hot and fresh. The serving was also decent sized. The food was good, but not the best. The waffle was soft and the sandwich was very messy. I wish they would have served some syrup with the sandwich. That would have made it better. All in all, it was a decent lunch. I would not give it the title of best or fav, but it was good.

Sahara Sweet Heat Wings are good. And Island J*** Wings are good. $3 a drink, free refill.

Customer service was great. It makes a difference when employees have people skills and personality. I like how the wings aren't traditional flavors they are different in their own way. Probably will go back to try some other menu options.

Great vegetarian options! The side of fried cauliflower tossed in sauce are a perfect afternoon snack if you work in the 16 Tech Innovation District.

The food, service, and experience is 10/10. Every time I go, the food gets better and better. Everyone of the workers are friendly and ensure that you feel like an appreciated customer!

Went to AMP a couple weeks ago and ordered regular fried wings and the naked wings with their special rub. Both were delicious. Highly recommended.

Stopped by the Amp for a quick bite to eat, not knowing what I wanted and settled on Taste of Innova. They have a sauce made with Uncle Nearest (I think it's called sweet chili sauce) that is AMAZING !! It is spicy but the flavor does not disappoint. I ordered the fried cauliflower tossed in the chili sauce and I can't even describe how bomb these were. They give you a great portion size so if you're not a heavy eater, this could definitely serve as a meal. The best part? They fry the cauliflower separate from the chicken so if you are vegetarian or pescatarian this needs to be your go to ! My husband ordered the chicken with half tossed in the chili sauce and would not stop raving about how delicious they were. I will definitely be back again for that tossed cauliflower !
I ate here the other day and am still trying to come up with the words to put here? I had some of the best chicken I have ever had. Everything is super fresh and the flavors pop like no other. The mix of fresh sides and tasty fries bring you a whole meal that you will want more of. My new favorite lunch spot run by the kindest people.

On a Saturday, the chicken grease was burnt, and my wings were fried so hard that they were nearly unchewable. I bought the lemon pepper wings that were heavily seasoned in salt. It is not necessary to over-season for food to be delectable. I wanted to support the small business, but, at the same time, desired to have my money returned. This turned out to be an unhealthy selection.

We have been thinking about the Sahara sweet heat wings since we left! The wings were PACKED with flavor, and the Mac and cheese was the perfect compliment. The wings paired perfectly with an IPA from the bar. We'll definitely be back!

Stopped by the Winter farmers at the Amp and got a Tasty snack from here. I got the traditional wings with sauce on the side. The breaded wing were crispy and the flavor nice and didn't need a sauce . But the sauce was a bonus. They also have chilled iced tea from Tea's Me!
