Did anyone ever like this place? They were overpriced and lame IMO.
Like it might survive in a distant suburb, but not right next to campus.

Idk…I did not… the owner had two locations and when covid hit had to focus on the one he thought would get more walk up business … I was never a fan but know some people that love it…they get a lot of corp lunch meeting catered business.. but lsu does that with their own services.

They do extremely well, are really active in the communities they do business in, and have a good product. They took over a seemingly cursed location across from campus and turned it into a thriving business (and even expanded the building).
All that being said, I'm not a fan of the wings & sauces but I respect the hell out of what they have done. Their style of wings are similar to Empire Wingz.

There's a big gravel parking lot right next door to the Electric Depot.

Those dudes made great wings/food but had no idea how to run a business.
A wing place with no TVs ever showing sports, just one TV broadcasting death metal music videos. We went one night after work for some wings and beers and they were hosting a poetry night. It was awkward as shite trying to have a conversation with my wife while the rest of the place looked at you like an a-hole for talking while some blue haired chick read a poem about death and MAGA hats.

Why did the post about Chinese buffet wings being better get whacked. Do these guys sponsor TD?

I agree that was a problem. I have the same issue with radio bar.

They also had live music a couple nights per week.

These folks don’t care about sports on tv, but there’s also not enough of this demo in Lafayette with enough money to support a place like wing fingers. I think they would have succeeded with a few tvs and a more diverse daily lineup of specials or activities (trivia nights, board game nights, sports, karaoke, etc) to appeal to more than just the antifa demo.
Their food was absolute fiya, though. I think they still do pop ups on occasion at Wurst Beer Garden.

They closed their brick & mortar right after the covid closures because they couldn't make it on just to-go. Then reopened their food truck, first at the Wurst, then moved it to General Mouton/Lamar at the Freetown Boom Boom Room. Then announced just recently that they were closing down all together.

That’s a shame. I hate seeing folks with passion and a great product fail due to bad business sense and ridiculous government decisions.

I used to eat there often, but have been a little salt heavy the last few times.
I like their seafood platters more than the wings, and their boiled crawfish is always good.
The guys who started this seem like good people.
