First time at any J.R. Crickets and I was pleased. Great food. Service was fast. I got the 10 pc wings and 3 ribs for 14.99. Ot was karaoke Friday but I couldnt stay for that part. Overall nice experience and will definitely go back.

We went in for lunch and my favorite server from karaoke night was there for us. We also met the owner and told him how much we have enjoyed coming to his restaurant. He said they have been there for 18 years. We had observed him sweeping the sidewalk outside and on the patio. He said,"After 18 years, this place needs to be kept up on." I ate the best catfish and okra platter and my husband had fried mushrooms and a grilled chicken Caesar salad.

I love this place. I can't really speak to the inside experience because I ordered to go but the wings were top tier. It'd been over 5 years since I had them but the dirty bird wings (bbq and lemon pepper tossed together) never disappoint. I ordered 20 wings which came with fries. I waited about 20 mins for my order and the food was steaming hot upon pick up. Good amount of blue cheese came with it and I paid about 1.99 for an extra container of ranch. This is my go to wings spot in the Atlanta area.

Not much to say. Always a good choice for wings and a few things. Fish was cooked perfect and the wings were just right

Food (wings) and drinks were great! Came to celebrate a friend and had a blast! The DJ played a nice selection of music that had everyone dancing. Will visit again!

I was straight up being greedy last night! I almost forgot to snap the photos of the catfish nuggets for y’all! My bad! No worries, I was able to save some for presentation. This was my first time at this location and the service was great! They closed at 2, I went at 1AM, and the food was STILL great! It was very fresh and tasty! Pictured below is the Wings and Tenders, and the Catfish Nugget basket! For more, follow @hoodgirlstraveltoo on IG!

Can't speak too much to the service as we always get takeout but the lemon pepper wings here are great! We never have to wait too long for our order and the staff are always nice.
