I've been here several times now during lunch. (it doesn't get my approval for a choice spot after work as I have so many other choices), but since I come here once in awhile now for lunch. I figured it deserved a 1 star increase and move it up on my chicken list. :P
I somehow always end up with a garlic parmesan....yum!

When it comes to fast food wings, it's hard to top Wing Stop. I like the boneless parmesan wings, but they're kind of expensive for basically being chicken strips. However, I inhale lemon pepper wings with impunity. The only downside is the incredible amount of grease that accumulates at the bottom of each order, but hey, they're wings, not herb-crusted ahi tuna fillets.
Hello all,
Wing Stop --- For several months I had been eyeing this place and decided this last weekend was the time to try out the so called master of wings.
I stopped by excited and ready to be amazed with wonderous flavors and layers of heat and I should have been warned by some of the weird smell's coming out of the kitchen! The wings where as dry as dinosaur farts and each one of them had these chemicals in them trying to simulate flavors - All I can say is what in the holy hell is this stuff bat man?
My Order - three separate kinds of wings:
1. The lemon pepper was dry and even worse was this seasoning which tasted like the mad hatters one hundred day old chemical vat.
2. The original tasted like they had this hot sauce on them and not the good hot sauce! More like the kind you avoid at the value isle at your local grocery store.
3. The garlic wings once again where overcooked and tasted like the mad hatters mentally challenged younger brother took some toe jam and garlic powder and called it a winner.
Now I am not sure about any of you but in all honesty my neighbor's dog would not even touch these things he simply turned and walked away A DOG MIND YOU turned and walked away after being offered these things and Boss will eat ANYTHING.
And please understand that I am not a wing snob by any account! I love coming home after a long day of saving the world from villain's and popping in some Tyson's chicken wings and munching away as I hummm Yankee doodle dandy - but I cannot see rating this place above two stars on any account and that is on a good day mind you.
If you like the taste of burnt chicken leather and cheap chemicals stop on by have yourself a ball! Otherwise stop of at the local grocer and pick up some Tyson's these wings at least taste good.
Tat.

I came here after my friends were all saying that it was the planned stop for the night. I've never been to a place that is specific to wings before, and I can't say that I go crazy for them, but it turned out to be pretty good.
Since I was raised in a conservative white house, I don't tend to like spicy foods. I ended up getting 5 mild wings, and 5 bbq wings. The mild were pretty gross, but the bbq ones were delicious. The seasoned fries that come with the combo are pretty damn good too. Also, they serve Fanta, which is a huge plus for me.
After your hands change skin color (as you would expect at a restaurant that is dedicated to wings), you're going to need to wash your hands. I always say that you can judge a place off the cleanliness of the bathroom, and this one was clean. Another thing is, the guy at the counter was overly nice, it was almost funny. Don't get me wrong though, I loved it.
So there you have it, 4 stars at a restaurant where they serve food I don't even really care for.
I was quite morose after my company moved offices last year, away from being near this place.
If you are fool for kickass, and I'm talking about kick you in the arse and make you beg for more Lemon Pepper - look no further.
The wings are so lemon pepper-y that the taste makes you squint, like when you first bite into a good, tart, Lihimui (sour plum). Other flavors, such as Garlic Parmesan (my second fav) are very good also.
For the flavor whores out there - you can pay $1 more to get more flavors per less number of wings.

I usually come here to pickup either the combo or 4-strips for lunch. I don't think I ever had a bad experience of their food. The fry's ok... I'm not a big fan of it. The cole slaw is pretty good (unlike the KFC kind that can go straight to the trashcan).
I've only tried the garlic parmesan and lemon pepper... not sure about the rest. I don't enjoy spicy food much...so my next try probably will go for Hawaiian ;-)
I came here one rainy afternoon after walking out of Pho 99. It was crowded and nobody even acknowledge our table so, it was off to Wing Stop to get some greasy, crispy, oh so lovely lemon pepper wings.
I love Wing Stop. I thank the Entertainment book for my stumbling into their doors for the first time a year ago in Rancho Santa Margarita, and now it's a drug that I have to avoid. It was once a weekly ritual, and now it's been supressed to perhaps once every two months.
This location is smaller than the RSM one, though all of their locations are small. The owner is close friends with the owners of the RSM and Costa Mesa locations and they're all really super nice guys.
Good wings. Friendly staff. Prompt and consistent service.
I Love Wing Stop. Enough said.
We always order the orignal all flats! tried the atomic and cajun, love spicy food, extremelty spice but this was too spicy. I mean mouth numbing spicy! The people there as SUPER friendly and they are open late, I think its midnight. Very convenient if you want to run to blockbuster and rent a movie while you wait for your food.
One of the better wings places in south oc instead of driving to hot wings cafe in LA.
When you're on the go and in the mood for wings, check this place out. With 9 flavors to choose from, can it get any better? Yes of course. The fries there are delicious, especially if you like dipping your fries in ranch dressing. Whether getting a snack or a party platter, there is no better finger food. Lemon Pepper is the best!

Good boneless wings. I always get the 3pc boneless combo (include drink, fries and cole slaw/ potato salad) for $5.99. Garlic parmesan is my favorite. Not especially the healthiest. The chicken is drenched in oil. You can actually see it on the bottom of your tray. So if you are not a greasy food person, this place is not for you.
Of the flavors I've tried, I gotta say the Lemon Pepper wings are simply heaven. I wish the Cajun wings had a little more 'Cajun' flavor instead of being drowned in the standard buffalo sauce. The Garlic Parm wings keep on releasing that intense garlic flavor for hours after being eaten.
The fries were hot and fresh but just too salty and overfried for my liking. Next time I'm sticking to just the Lemon Pepper!
My buddies Minh, Ken and Jumar introduced me to this place, which they themselves discovered when exploring Lake Forest after moving there.
It's probably the best wing place I've been to in the area, beating Wingnuts and the old standby, Hooters.
There aren't as many flavors as Wingnuts, and the straight up buffalo style aren't as good as the three mile island style from Hooters, but the flavors that they DO have are really good.
The only kind I've had so far that did absolutely nothing for me was the garlic parmesan, which theoretically should taste good, but tastes like ass.
Stick with the classics: buffalo, cajun, and lemon pepper.
great place for groups of friends! affordable prices for wings, and there are many flavors to choose from, but i highly recommend the lemon pepper =). the french fries here are exceptionally good and the coleslaw is very tasty. this is the place i would go to for wings when i tire of hooter's; i usually go to hooter's for the breasts......chicken breasts, that is!
