How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

Love their wings. Especially on Monday when they are 75 cents each. Most of the times the sauce is at the bottom of the basket, and the wings are dry of sauce.

Order was supposed to be ready at 6:30, got there at 6:20 and was told it wasn’t quite ready but they’d bring it to my car (they wrote my car and stall # on the receipt) No problem at all. At 7pm I went in and asked if it was ready (trying...

Not sure if I made the mistake of coming in on a Tuesday, but these were the smallest boneless wings I've ever seen in my life. 3 oz cup in the picture for reference. Then to make it worse they were all over breaded and overcooked with bare...

I am so bummed… never have had a complaint until my last two orders. Had a salad with grilled buffalo chicken… salad was amazing but the little teeny pieces of chicken were not even bite size and probably about 1/4 cup. Next time, ordered t...

I order from here often but today I was very disappointed. They forgot ranch on my wrap and the chips were very under cooked and soft.
Good for
- Trying a wide variety of wing sauce flavors
- Monday wing specials
- Casual dine-in with family or friends
Avoid if
- You are in a strict time crunch
- You prefer very large, meaty wings
- You are ordering takeout and cannot easily check your bag

Austin is a Rockstar! SO much so that he makes Nikki Sixx look like a punk. His customer service is so on par along with his courteous demeanor that I feel as if I could have been served a boot and it would have tasted like heaven. I will be a return customer and will wait with baited breath for ano...
