| - Wing Stop has awesome wings. They're huge, they're crispy like they should be, and the sauces and sides are fantastic. They've quickly become my second favorite wings in Pittsburgh behind Wings, Suds, and Spuds. I had never been to any of the other locations before, so when I saw this one was opening right down the hill from me, I was more than eager to finally try them out.
I've tried nearly every flavor on the menu here, save for the teriyaki. My three favorites would be classic hot, Louisiana dry rub, and Hawaiian. The seasoned fresh cut fries are amazing, but I seriously love the baked beans here. The cole slaw is really good and the potato salad is top notch. They also give you enough blue cheese, ranch, or whatever your preferred dip is that you won't feel like you've been cheated and need to order more at an additional cost (I'm looking at you, B-Dubs).
Since opening, I've gone here so many times that I may as well be a chicken wing by this point. The only problem I have with this location is that they obviously need more help. Seriously. The crew here is incredibly friendly, but more employees are seriously needed. They average every order to be ready in 20-25 minutes, but on a super busy night, this can easily stretch to almost an hour because they get backed up with in house orders as well as phone-in and online orders. I used the mobile app a couple weeks ago to pick up my food on the way home from work and I wound up sitting there for an extra 30 minutes after arriving on time to pick it up. They were just that slammed and didn't even have mine started.
Other than that, the food is amazingly excellent. I was wary of it being a chain and all, but these guys do wings the way I love them, plus I can even get them well done if I want them even crispier. I dig the inclusion of Fanta strawberry pop in the fountain. It perfectly complements the wings here like Mountain Dew perfectly complements anything at Taco Bell, or Dr. Pepper makes everything at Sonic taste even groovier.
One other thing. If you want to use the restrooms here, they're locked and a crew member has to take you back and unlock the door for you. I don't know how long his policy will last, and if it's something all the locations do. It will undoubtedly keep the bathrooms cleaner and stop would-be graffiti goons from tagging up the walls, but it can also be a bit annoying when the place is busy and everyone's trying to take and fill orders.
The restaurant is super clean, and I dig the classic jazz music they play here. It's definitely not the kind of tunes I was expecting to hear when I first walked in. Since I'm writing this review near Christmas, they have switched over to all Christmas tunes as expected, but generally it's some tasty jazz from the greats.
So please, Wing Stop, hire some more folks and really start cranking those orders out. I love your food and personally don't mind that wait most times, but you can see the looks of agitation on other people's faces as they wait and wait. Otherwise, you're doing everything perfectly. Thanks for opening near me!
