Wingstop — Restaurant in Florida

We first discovered Wingstop at the old location on Waters by the Walmart almost 20 years ago, and it was love at first bite. Sadly, that one was closed down a long time ago and our nearest option became the Dale Mabry one by Carrollwood or the one by University. The thing is, for my family at least, wings are one of those last-minute options when the day got the best of you and it's 10pm and everybody's hungry. Around here that leaves you with the options of pizza or burgers. Going any farther than absolutely necessary late at night is a struggle when you're already exhausted. Needless to say, we were excited to see a Wingstop open up here near home! They don't have seating yet, so expect to carry out. This is understandable since I hear nowadays restaurants are having a hard time with keeping enough staff... so I'd rather the folks they do hire concentrate on the great job they do at preparing food instead of cleaning tables. There were just two guys running the store when I went (Wed at 11pm) and yet the service was super fast for those that walked in (I pre-ordered online and arrived a bit early to get the wings home as hot as possible). How was the food you ask? Fantastic! The lemon-peppers never fail and taste as if they were seasoned down to the very bone somehow. We also enjoyed the lousiana rubs and the temporary orange-szechuan flavor was a very nice take on sweet-tangy with a very light bit of heat. The cajun's start out delicious but after a couple wings I got the sensation that the salt was a wee bit too much on them (I notice this at every Wingstop so it must be a recipe thing). I still wouldn't avoid them because they do taste great, just don't get too many. Now, the absolute star of the show for us was the Korean BBQ sauce... and we got it on some bone-in thighs... whoaaa! I see more and more restaurants lately selling thighs (supposedly due to chicken supply/pricing issues) and hadn't really enjoyed anything anywhere, but I have to say, this became an instant favorite for us. Sooo crispy crunchy and juicy and the Korean BBQ flavor was perfection on them. Only ordered two of them to try out, big mistake! Only "complaint" I have is that I didn't see a tip jar at the store nor the option when paying online, and even before having tasted the food the staff had been great and I would have loved to show them some appreciation. Hopefully this review gets this location and the employees some much-deserved attention. Keep up the great work! We hope to...

🏴‍☠️Arrr mateys, gather 'round, for I be tellin' ye a tale of flavor so fierce it could tame the wildest beast of the seven seas! I just docked me ship at a landlubber’s treasure trove they call Wing Stop, and let me tell ye, these wings be more precious than a chest of gold doubloons!

The moment I stepped through the door, the air was thick with the savory scent o' spices and crispy goodness. I nearly lost me peg leg rushin' to the counter to place me order. I asked for a bounty o' wings, tossed in the finest of flavors that could rival the salt spray of the open sea. Garlic Parmesan, Lemon Pepper, and good ol' Spicy Korean Q — flavors that’d make even the most seasoned pirate weep tears o' joy!

When I sunk me teeth into that first wing, I swear I heard the angels sing—or mayhaps it was the sweet sound o' victory, for me taste buds had struck treasure! Each bite was crispier than a sail flappin’ in a mighty gale, with sauces so rich and bold, they could make Davy Jones himself rise from the depths for another bite.

Now, I ain’t just talkin' about the wings, oh no! The fries be seasoned with the magic o' a thousand sunsets, so crisp and golden they'd make a pirate abandon his search for buried treasure and claim these instead! And the ranch, by the Kraken’s tentacles, it was so creamy I reckon it could calm the fiercest of storms.

The crew at Wing Stop were as friendly as me old parrot Polly (and far better company, I might add), servin' up me feast with a smile that rivaled the shine of me compass pointin' north.

So, if ye be lookin' for a place to satisfy ye hunger after a long voyage, get ye self to Wing Stop! It’s a flavor adventure ye’ll be singin' songs about for many moons to come. Arrr, five stars ain't enough for this treasure—I give it the full Jolly Roger and a barrel o' rum for...

Hear ye, hear ye, noble subjects and esteemed courtiers! I, King Alaric the Wise ruler of all Wingtopia, do hereby proclaim my review of the esteemed establishment known as Wingstop. Upon my recent sojourn to this fine eatery, I have been most pleased by the fare presented before me.

The wings, thou see, were cooked to a perfection befitting the highest of banquets. Each morsel was tender, succulent, and imbued with flavors that danced upon the palate like a merry troupe of minstrels. The variety of sauces available was most impressive—ranging from the fiery heat of the "Atomic" to the sweet and savory delight of the "Hawaiian."

The service provided by the valiant staff was of the highest order. With speed and courtesy, they attended to my needs and ensured that the feast was plentiful and served with a smile. The ambiance of the establishment, though humble, was both inviting and clean, a sanctuary for weary travelers and hungry knights alike.

I commend Wingstop for their dedication to excellence in both culinary craft and hospitality. Verily, I shall decree that this establishment be visited by all who seek a hearty and satisfying repast. Wingstop has earned its place of honor in the annals of my court’s favored dining establishments.

Thus, with great satisfaction and pleasure, I give Wingstop my royal seal of approval. May their wings forever be bounteous and their sauces ever delightful.

Long may...
