"Pretty bummed. The wings were a little overcooked and cry, but my main thing is there is no seasoning on my wings at all! I got hot honey and there's barely anything on them. It's essentially fried wings with tiny sprinkles of seasoning. I usually love this location, but the inconsistency of seasoning drives me crazy because I never know which day I'll be wasting money. "
