The wings here have won numerous awards, including Richmond Register’s Best Wings 2016. They’re deep fried to crispy perfection, then served with your choice of mild, medium, hot or extra hot seasonings.

If you’re still hungry after consuming an entire order of wings, try one of the burgers. They’re fresh, juicy and super tasty.
