Wingo's Georgetown (O Street) — Restaurant in Washington

I am from out of town, and I heard that when visiting DC I must have some Mumbo/Mambo chicken. Mumbo chicken is essentially just fried chicken wings tossed in a tangy sweet and spicy sauce. After tasting different kinds of Mumbo chicken, I came to a realization: some places will take the cheap and easy route and mix ketchup, bbq sauce and hot sauce, throw it on some wings, and call it Mumbo Chicken. This is what you don't want. Other places will mix together various different flavors to create a delicious sauce. Wingo’s was that place. Their Mumbo Sauce was an Asian inspired sauce with a tad more heat than the usual, yet not overwhelming. The chicken was crispy and the sauce was impeccable. Do not sell yourself short by buying, what I’m calling, “Knockoff Mumbo Sauce.” Instead just shoot down to Wingo’s and grab some Mumbo Chicken. Even grab a beer and watch the game if you like. Overall this place was great and I highly recommend it to tourists as well...

I'm sitting in the restaurant as I write this review. I'm so disappointed. My whole table ordered the hot honey wings and we all recieved buffalo wings. There is not hint of honey on these wings. I attempted to tell the manager and he just acted like I wasn't telling the truth. Mnd you, I've eaten here several times. He said "that's the way we fook them", instead of admitting they made a mistake. Also, 2 orders of fries were forgotten and sour cream was forgotten off potato skins. Long story short, I'm embarrassed I brought my family here. I saw someone on the way out with hot honey wings and they looked nothing like mines so I know you lied. Never again. I would give zero...

The rating mixed... so please read before judging. The rating is low because delivery was anything but speedy. I was notified at 716pm that the order was out for delivery. My food was delivered at 813pm. Unfortunately, my order was missing one item for which I was charged. Also unfortunate was the fact I paid cash, so I'm out the $$.

Here's where this rating doesn't do the food justice. Even after sitting out an hour (during the delivery process), these wings were still crispy and tasty. I had the honey bbq wings, extra crispy. The fries although a bit soggy still had good flavor.

If I'm back in DC again, I'd try this place again... but probably not...
