| - This was my first visit to a Wing Stop. Overall, I had a good experience. I ordered an individual combo online (8 classic wings with fries and a drink for about $8). I was given a pickup time of 25 minutes later. When I picked up my order (2 minutes after the pickup time), it was ready, and waiting on a small table just behind the cashier. The cashier was fast, not overly friendly or peppy, but efficient and business like. Not a huge turnoff, but not a stellar impression, either. More important to me was that my order was ready on time, correct, and I was in and out quickly - all of which exceeded my expectations.
This location does *not* have the Coke Freestyle machine (as advertised at "select locations" on their website), by the way. Fountain drinks included Coke, Diet Coke (I think), some kind of punch, Minute Maid lemonade, Dr. Pepper and a couple of iced tea flavors (separate from the fountain dispenser).
So, the food. I am one of those that can not deal with spicy foods, even fake spicy - like Taco Bell. However, I do get cravings for honey wings, which most places do not have. I first had them at Final Round (bar in Tempe), and the craving haunts me from time to time. :-) Wing Stop had a better flavor selection than most restaurants in my work area, including teriyaki and Hawaiian, so those are the two flavors I ordered. I was not disappointed. I had to try one of each of them right away (partially because I had been looking up wing joints for an hour previous to actually ordering and was more than ready to eat - partially to see if they were lukewarm from sitting out on a table prior to my arrival). The temperature was perfect - nice and warm without being too hot to eat comfortably, the meat was juicy and tender, and the sauce was thick in consistency and applied liberally. The Hawaiian wings had the honey flavor I was looking for with just a hint of pineapple in them. The teriyaki wings tasted more soy saucey than most, and, as a result, were more salty than sweet. Now, the fries. Someone else wrote a review mentioning them, so I was forewarned. It was a very strange experience eating them. My taste buds were both intrigued and disgusted. First it was sweet (ooooh!), then my brain kicked in and was like "What?!? You're supposed to taste like potatoes and salt - not pancakes!" Suffice to say, all but 3 of the fries went to waste. When I was able to sit down and eat the rest of the wings 25 minutes after my initial order pick up, the wings had maintained their perfect temperature, which is a big deal to me.
Is Wing Stop my new favorite place? No, just by virtue of their specialty (and limited menu as a result). I did, however, have a good experience overall, and know where I can meet my honey wings craving during business hours. Will I return? Probably. The Hawaiian wings hit the spot (next time I'm getting those only!), and I'll have no problem remembering to NOT get the fries again.
Hope this helps!
