"Every time I DoorDash from this wingstop, it HITS. Best thing to eat on a rest day. $20 specials have saved my broke self a lot of times but forget that, the people who sauce my wings are HEROES. Seriously, much love and thanks to everyone who works here thanks for having such a high quality level of service love this store."

"Burgers and fries were good, fries were actually not soggy. Apple Pie could've been in the over a couple more minutes, a bit under cooked "
"Ordered this later in the night. With it open 24/7, should honestly make sure it's worth it. Classic Big Mac® Pack was not made right! It's like the laziest person made this. Fries were stale and lacked flavor. I asked for no Mac sauce on the burger (wanted in the side) and they gave me sauce on both. Chicken Nuggets were at least decent and the only reason not giving it a 1 star."

"Great satisfying food for after drinking. Also during drinking. Great food in general. But especially drinking."
"I got the Classic Meltdown - Combo, which was delicious! The bread was so crispy and buttery and the cheese was very good too. The fries were seasoned very well. I decided to get the Treatin' Myself Melt as well and it was meh. The pound cake tasted commercial and the "cheesecake filling" was minimal. Not sure if that's brown sugar crumble or what on top of it, but the whole thing just wasn't it. Wasn't worth the calories to eat it just for eating its sake! Grilled cheese 12/10, dessert 4/10."

"The Vegan Breakfast Muffin was surprisingly hearty and delicious!! They use an actual vegan sausage LINK rather than a thin sausage patty which is way better imo. I added a hashbrown inside and avocado and it definitely exceeded my expectations! Will order again! "
"The Elote was dry and such a tiny cup for the price. The Personal Animal Fries were soggy. The Marinara Pasta appears like it has a good serving of sauce there was very little and it was dry. The BLT was the only good thing about this order. This place is disappointing!!!"

"The food was good, the only thing I didn't like was the vegetables. They had absolutely zero flavor. Like, not even vegetable flavor. Idk how that's possible. Even after putting every seasoning possible they still were bland. But the salmon and rice and beef was really good. I'd definitely eat those again. But I wish the vegetables were seasoned at the very least. The chili crisp Chili Crisp Crispy Gyoza was SOOOOO good. 10/10."
"It's nice to have little ventilition holes on the plates, but for whatever reason these holes are not poked open in advance. As a result fried chicken is soggy with moisture in it. Beef tastes way better."
