| - There's a ton 5-star reviews for this place, and they (the 5-star reviews) were the thing that really drew me in, other than my lust for hot wings; however, upon experiencing ATL Wings, I am a little perplexed by all of them (the 5-star reviews).
First things first.
This place is counter service with a moderately sized eating area reminiscent of a sub shop in configuration... It's great for carryout or a quick meal.
The wings...
The bone in wings are good. The sauces are good. Boneless wings were most likely frozen/pre-breaded, but my kid liked them.
The Ranch and Blue Cheese dipping sauces let a little to be desired, but were good as well.
Everything was good, and just that: Good, not 5-star.
When I think 5-star, I think amazing and unique.
If this place had more going for it in the accouterments department like Booze/Beer/Wine or a more inviting dining area, I could see 4-stars, but a counter that pushes out good wings, good fries, good sauce and kool-aid just isn't deserving.
I can think of many other places that have at least one type of wings that slays this place:
Four Peaks' off menu habenero hot wings and their top notch blue cheese dipping sauce.
Teakwoods' wings - a ton of styles and killing suicide
Zipps' wings - tons of style too.
Cornish Pasty's Tandoori Wings.
This is just the short list, and all of these places' wings beat ATL and the establishments also offer a whole other level of food, drink, and ambiance to enjoy as well.
Overall, I would hit this place up for a quick lunch or if I needed carryout and I was in the area; however, with just a little more effort one can find better wings.
