| - The fake five star reviews, including one from the owner (did he really submit a one star review for Wingstop, too?) are a definite red flag, and the "King" unfortunately doesn't live up to the hype. He seems to have claimed his paper crown from that other false royalty of fast food, the Burger King.
The advertisement looked promising, and the menu even included two of my favorite comfort foods: mac and cheese and fried pickles. My husband was excited to try the garlic parmesan wings, and split his order with ranch-flavored wings to try something different. The wings looked frozen (unthawed) as they hit the deep fryer. The flavors were not easy to distinguish and my husband was unimpressed. The ranch dressing for dipping was straight from a bottle and also lacked quality. As for the food I tried, the macaroni was overcooked and disintegrating into the cheese mixture, into which the cook may have accidentally dropped the pepper shaker. This dish could better be described as shredded pasta in creamy black pepper sauce. The fried pickle chips had a nice flavor and the serving was generous, but the large pool of oil inside the basket was unappetizing. Drain that grease. I also tried a few of my husband's french fries, which were handcut, but appeared to have been fried only once (twice is nice), as the crisp exterior revealed a dry interior.
The search for the best garlic parm wings continues, and I've told my husband that the Chicken Shack on the east side of town looks promising!
