Didn't there used to be one next to the Alberstons on Johnston as well (where Copeland's to go is now)?

1. Pluckers, though the quality of service has declined greatly at the Bluebonnet location I used to frequent. I prefer more of their sauces and their macaroni and cheese and desserts are killer. Best overall wings and food and their service is still better than the other local wing establishments.

2. Wingstop lemon pepper wings are my single favorite wings of any chain. Don't really care for much other than that there. Service is poor at every location I've gone to.

3. Hooters though I don't go there anymore really.

1012. BWW. They set the standard for terrible service every time I go. Every BR location. Had it in NOLA. Had it in Minnesota. The only place I've ever been to where I walked out before ordering because they were that lazy at their job. Unfortunately, the SO loves this place so I can't avoid it.

I'm typically pro-local establishments, but I don't like Smitty's. Wing size is good, but flavor is hit or miss. They also charge you extra if you request all flats. I'd go Wingstop.

I also don't think they've cleaned that place since it was Pilot's Pub.

They fry them too long. It's like eating leather.


Wingstop isn't bad and I like the wings from Hooters.


Never been to World of Wings.

My favorite is the mango habanero, but that shite is so hot it scorches my mouth and I always regret it


The best at Wing Stop is mango habanero. It has the perfect amount of sweet and heat not over the top. The Cajun sauce and lemon pepper are very good too. Their fries have salt and a little sugar on them, perfect with the cheese dipping sauce. I'd like to know how many calories in a 12 piece with an order of fries and cheese dip , not really.


**ETA**

Never tried Smitty's Wings but friends of mine that have said they won't go back.

I was skeptical of Walmarts but had them a few weeks ago when someone brought them to a get together. They were pretty legit.

Agree. Just the regular fried ones though.

Their buffalo ones aren't good

I have friends that go to Smitty's regularly so I guess it's alright. Location sucks for me so I never think about it

I like Buffalo Wings and Rings, though I don't believe there are any in Louisiana. There's 50+ stores from Texas up through Ohio though...

I'm pretty new to the Metairie area and wife loves wings. Went to BWW for first time a few months ago. May be, no, definitely were the worst wings I ever had. Anyone know the area got suggestions outside of just cooking up some myself?
