My favorite for sure. Used to get an order for dinner regularly. But $16 for 5 wings priced them out of my rotation.

Yep. $16 for 5 chicken wings, which means 10 wings. And they do serve the large size, yes there are 2 sizes of wings.

Yes, it’s high, but it’s the going price nowadays.

A 10 piece at Hooters is $14. And I do believe they have the small wings, not the large.

10 wings at Just Winging It is $21, with fries.

10 wings at Buffalo Wild Wings is $16.

8 wings at Rotolos is $16.

A wing is a whole wing, not a wing cut in half. $16 dollars for 5 wings split into doesn’t make the price any better. COVID-19 comes around and chicken wings prices go through roof and haven’t come down but boneless, skinless, chicken thighs prices have barely changed.

I’m not saying wings aren’t stupidly expensive right now but 5 wings at TJ ribs is double the amount of wings as almost any wing joint

So is it more than 5 wings? A wing to me is all 3 pieces of the wing, not broken up into 2 pieces, possibly 3 pieces. How restaurants serve wings shouldn’t be the discussion, the discussion should be the high price of wings that came out of nowhere, that magically didn’t effect the other parts of the chicken.

The discussion was wing prices at restaurants. TJ Ribs gives you the whole wings whereas Pluckers, Hooters, Wing stop, etc separate them into flats and drums.

So compared to those places “5 wings for $16” is misleading.

No one here was talking about buying a pack of wings from the grocery store

I agree with you.


They're so good. I love how they give you the entire wing too.

Always get the sauce on the side.


Wish we had one here.

worded a bit weird but, i agree. I say the same about the blue store.

you get the whole wing. each whole wing counts as 1. not like most wing joints where the whole wing is separated and each "piece" is counted as 1 wing.

I would bet that the amount of meat on those 5 huge TJ Ribs wings is equal to 16 half wings.

The mystery to me is how Just Wingin' It stays in business, those are the smallest, most expensive wings in town.

Might be pricey at first glance, but im usually stuffed after eating them. The buffalo is nice too. Got a nice vinegar twang.
