Wings Over Lowell — Restaurant in Lowell

I went to college at Westfield State University from 2001-2005. One of the things my friends and I used to do in a relatively regular basis is venture to UMass Amherst and go to The Hangar. We loved going there and to this day, it's the best place IMO to get boneless chicken tenders.

After I graduated, much to my delight, there was some decent expansion and places started popping up closer to me under the title "wings over (insert city) but the food and the menu was the same. The Lowell location is the closest to me so it's the one I frequent when I'm craving those wings. It always hit the spot and Even as recently as this past may, when I had it delivered to my place of work, it was just as good as I remembered.

Today I came in, and saw that they changed the menu from the traditional item names such as DC-3, DC-10, etc, to just 2 tenders, 4 tenders, etc.

I wanted to order the 8 tender meal and asked her which previously named menu item it was equivalent too and she had no clue what I was talking about.

I ordered garlic parm (which is one of my top 5 go to flavors) and golden BBQ (another top 5) and I could tell instantly by my first bite of each that the recipe is has changed and was not the same as it used to be. For an even better reference point, I was at the south Hadley location about a month ago and the flavor profile was different today (for the worse) than at south Hadley.

I can't be certain but based on the employee's uncertainty of how the 8 tender meal compared to the previously named menu and the change in flavor, I'm of the belief that ownership has changed. Unfortunately, that is not something I particularly feel is a good thing.

I will say that the food was good, but not what i remembered. Still a good place to go if you want good boneless chicken but not for me anymore as it seems as though wings over is now a different entity than the...

I was conflicted to an extent when writing this review since the aesthetics were not horrible, but sadly the compliments end there. I don’t want to be another mindless bird in the flock and resort to offensive language, or Reductio ad Hitlerum in describing this establishment; although I would say that it was a little Wernher Von Braunish. But not Wernher Von Braun himself, more like a little brother with a considerable lower IQ and none of the accomplishment. (Cheesy Dis Time) Me: “This Chicken was DRY!” Crowd: “How dry was it?” Me: “It was as DRY as Menopause” Crowd: “Oooooooooooo!” The chicken I ate was so dry and dead, Logan Paul himself came out of the bushes to film me eating it. As someone who is a trained cook, I know there are plenty of ways to cook chicken without killing all of its moisture, and apparently Wings do not know the simplest among these. Now, Here’s me be nice guy… :) Let Me help out all the Patrons to this sad establishment out with a little LifeHack on how to enjoy Wings Over Lowell at home. Step 1: Pull out the Frozen BBQ chicken that has been sitting in your freezer for the past 2 Years. Step2: Cook Chicken immediately 50 degrees higher than what is suggested on the package. Step 3: Take out of oven 5-10 mins late. Congratulations! If you did this correctly, you now can enjoy the horribly dry Wings Over Lowell Chicken in the comfort of your home, and you don't have to waste $10… Yes, $10s on that GARBAGE lol… -Cheers!...

I ran in initially to use the bathroom and grab food to go. The person yells at me "the bathroom is only for paying customers," the place is empty excluding one person eating. I yell back, " I will be once I am finished using the bathroom." The bathroom is locked. She does not tell me this. I have to go to the front where they are elevated so they are weirdly looking down at you. She again tells me the bathroom is only for paying customers. I tell her I heard her and I will be once I go to the bathroom. She looks irritated.

I get the key and head back. There is some sort of grease all over the floor by the bathrooms. All I keep thinking is not to slip. I use the bathroom and come back out and there is no one to be found at the front. Then I hear her say something about "5 more minutes and we can get someone back in there." Then someone else says to her I am out front. Then she asks the girl if she thinks I heard her. I dropped the key and left. I don't know what they were planning or whatever, but after making a big deal about me needing to be a customer, she makes sure I am not...
