Wingman Hot Chicken — Restaurant in Lebanon

I have tried nearly every place in Lebanon for their fries, though only now did I decide to make a review account. While I will be criticizing the service and all of that, the fries are the most important to me. That said, onto the review.

Fries: Style: Standard Fries. a slightly yet satisfying crunchy exterior with a soft interior. These fries are good, but have pockets of air in them sometimes. The seasoning is peppery, almost tastes similar to paprika as well.

Other food: I decided to order the classic chicken tenders with the french fries. The meat is tender and soft, easy to bite into and not much crunch. If you like softer chicken tenders, I highly recommend these. Sadly, Wingman Hot Chicken does not give bbq sauce unless you are staying to eat (I got it to go but still chose to eat a bit in-house to give a proper review).

Atmosphere: the atmosphere is nice, though cramped and not many chairs; however, the business is small so that is to be expected. It gives a minor sports bar vibe, offer A/C at the table inside, and even hand sanitizer.

Service: The service is nice and friendly, but not many employees sadly. That said, your food can take 10-20 minutes, depending on the line and what you are ordering.

Overall fries rating: 8.5/10, be sure to order a large fry with your main food. You don't...

The people giving 5 star must be all burger king fans . Ordered cheese burger with by far worse than the burger King fans love . Have no clue the sauce was but very bad weird spice they add . Hamburger meat cheap rubbery trash with no where close being smash burger . Ranks as the worst burger have had the displeasure of tasting . 2 bits and rest went into the trash . Would not even give leftover to my dogs to prevent them getting sick . Couple reviews here said best burger ever had . Man really , get real . Also got whole wings again made with some sort of weird sauce about same as on the burger . Then grossly overcooked to a crisp. Fries again they use this same weird spice . Fried pickles also a joke . Cost 26 bucks for total 100% disaster that went straight to the trash can . Nothing more I dislike than wasting my hard earned money for grossly poor quality cooked food . Never get suckered into going there again by all these crazy 5 star reviews . Makes one wonder where all these people obtain their taste ? Different world that is for sure . One star review for this place is being overly nice . I think people that give 5 star reviews attempt to sucker other people to try places like this . I will be honest save your money by not going there . NOT GOOD / ...

In 1994, I helped open the Zaxby’s in Bowling Green, Kentucky while I was at Western Kentucky University. Back then, we did everything by hand — busting up chickens with cleavers, mixing sauces from scratch, and serving food so good we had a one-hour wait for 30 days straight. No social media. Just word of mouth and quality that spoke for itself.

Fast forward to today: I tried Wingman Hot Chicken in Lebanon — the little drive-thru near Adelita’s Ice Cream behind Dollar General — and honestly, it couldn’t have been more of a letdown.

We spent about $60 on:

30 hot wings (tiny, dry, over-breaded, and flavorless)

2 rice and chicken bowls (bland and lifeless)

2 salads (zero seasoning, zero effort)

It felt like food made without pride. No heat. No flavor. No reason to return.

Here’s the thing: when you're new, that’s your shot. You have to kill it. This was Wingman’s chance to win me over, and instead, I walked away thinking: I never want to come back here again.

Zaxby’s may not be what it was back in ‘94, but I can tell you this — back then, we gave people something to crave. Wingman?...
