    It was not bad. I like this location better than the others because its not as big and the staff had better attitudes. We got the 10 piece wings with fries for $14. They were seasoned well and delicious

    Definitely enjoyed the lemon pepper wings here. Of course I've heard about how famous they are and so I went to try. They didn't disappoint. My only knock is on the setup. The upstairs, downstairs, outdoor thing is weird (to me) and leads to staff bringing the food upstairs and downstairs. Not to mention the same lady that took my order at the register was who brought up my food (and who got me lemon for my water...I left her a nice tip though). Not an ideal arrangement. There's also no dedicated parking so you're just left to the street. This can be fine but it can be scant as well.

    I ordered the 10 piece wings, hot flavor with fries. What I got, 10 piece cold wings with medium flavor. Pro tip;, when they show you your food check it for tempature and flavor.

    Wings are excellent, never had wings from here that weren't good. Biggest downside is that they close whenever they want to, you REALLY gotta call before you show up because you might just show up on a day they've decided to close an hour early. No parking either.

    We had an amazing experience here! The staff was very kind and attentive, and the food was deep fried heaven! The fish was absolutely perfect. Crisp outside, with a moist, flaky interior. Ohhh and the red velvet cake... Jesus be a waist trainer! I'm glad I was visiting from out of state, because I would be in big trouble. It was DELICIOUS!

    Food and service was great. They gave me blue cheese instead of ranch and not I’m in the hospital. Please be more careful next time. I almost died

    Well went for my lunch break placed order over the phone . We had 3 separate orders of 10 pice wing combo . Placed order at 12:50 got to location at 1:30 nothing was ready . When it finally got ready the chef mixed up the orders so we had to wait longer . When it was time to checkout the chef/cashier put the orders together and didn’t know how to do separate so we had to pay as a whole , Evan tho we ordered separately . They no parking lot no free parking . Street parking only . When we got to office to eat no napkins plastic wear or extra dressings that we paid for . Over all 3/10

    This is the best JR Crickets and wing spot in general I’ve ever visited. Their wings are INCREDIBLE. The fries are a perfect fry and addition. They always have an amazing attitude and the roof top is the gear vibe. BEST SPOT ON THE WESTSIDE

    Got a turkey burger/ wings and an alcoholic beverage. The wings were the best thing. The burger was salty to the point I couldn't eat (salty bun from the toasting im assuming). The drink was terrible. Taste like the person who made it just poured concentrated lemon juice and nothing else.

    Good fresh, made to order shrimp & fish I ordered as well as the mozzarella sticks. 10/10, the quality of the food was top tier. The amount of food given for the price was definitely worth it as well.

  • 5/5 Jeanette P. 1 year ago on Google
    Good customer service for as busy as it was. It took awhile for our food but it was worth the wait! I got wings and ribs with the southern BBQ sauce. I didn't care for the sweet potato fries but they exchanged them for me. Also DON'T FORGET THE CAKE!!!

  • 5/5 Leroy W. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely the buffalo wings was on point. Will be coming back to Atlanta again. Probably for just the wings lol

  • 1/5 QueenDee B. 2 years ago on Google
    They have very bad attitudes and the wings that me and my mom had were horrible and too salty. The skin on the wings were horrible and the wings were not cooked right.

  • 1/5 Tashay K. 9 months ago on Google
    I can't write anything here except for how terrible the service needs because it is 11:30 at night and I went in to get some fish and fries and they told me they were only making wings and french fries that they won't be able to sell any fish until tomorrow I asked them why when there are several hours of business operation left I was told because the cook doesn't feel like making anything else that's a problem because he's a cook not the business owner and he is killing business by doing that

  • 5/5 Sherivon P. 2 years ago on Google
    The Best Wing spot in the Atl... Customer service and the food..OUTSTANDING!! I travel from the east side to west 2 days back to back!!! It's worth the travel

  • 1/5 Makeup By I. 1 year ago on Google
    Just got delivery. Wings are way too small and very crispy. Also I didn’t get my ranch dipping sauce I had requested. The chicken Philly was alright but very dry not enough cheese at all. Fries were also cold.

  • 2/5 Seven L. M. 1 year ago on Google
    Eh. Customer service was blah. Food was just aight. Atl wings gave me more for the money, and their lemon pepper flavor was better. For the chef to be so rude, I'd expect the food to be fire enough to overlook it. Nah. It wasn't.

  • 5/5 Sista S. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a friendly atmosphere. And the wings were delicious, and the staff polite.

  • 2/5 Tamia D. 1 year ago on Google
    Food decent but overpriced your combos should definitely come with a drink they charge for every little thing !!! Kids meal needed the JR crickets got them so should you!!

  • 2/5 Cee K. 1 year ago on Google

😠 DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!! Terrible service! The server cannot remember what you ordered…it cannot be that hard to write it down. Friends waited for (Hennessy) drinks…at the same table for an hour and 15min. It took the bartender 3 tries….It took over an hour to get food even with a reservation. YOU CAN...
