J.R. Crickets Downtown

My family and I were spending the night in downtown Atlanta and our daughter who attends GSU was insistent on us trying their chicken wings since she’s been before. And I’m gonna be honest, the wings were on point! Like I don’t typically eat the entire wing because it’s not cooked to my liking but I devoured these. The rest of my family equally enjoyed their wings/tenders but they didn’t think to take pictures. FYI: we ordered from the little computer because there were five of us and we couldn’t decide but it is a little finicky.

Was there, 2/23 at about 12 midnight, I was truly excited cause everybody said this was the spot.... THE SPOT FOR WHAT????? Cause ain't no way my chicken should be smaller than the top on the cup of ranch!!!! Ain't no way my chicken should've been fried until it was just skin and bone!!!! Ain't no way my fries should've looked like they came straight from the heat lamp YESTERDAY!!!!! The shrimp and fries was way too salty. For a funnel cake I KNOW YOU FRIED IN CHICKEN GREASE, Over all expenses was terrible!!! The best thing about them was the customer service... Those ladies were really nice! I got home and people said I shouldn't went to the other location I'll try that but never again here...20.00 worth of yuk Responding to Jr crickets, It was the park place location

Was there Saturday 02/03 i believe and the wings were fire! Crispy and fried to perfection, my flavor was lemon pepper. Had the ribs as well and they were not good at all. They were tough chewy and lacked any smokiness as any good rib would offer. They seemed to be left out overnight and cooked the next day. Unlike the wings they were not fresh. I would go back but never order the ribs. 4 stars for my wings and attention paid to our orders.

Problem with my order and business refuse to give me a cancelation no order given had ro dispute with the bank in order to get the money back this was such and inconvenience had to find another way to get food and was happy with the out come waste of time n money

How you go from 25.99 for a dub to 34.26? That's what I'm tryna figure out. See I called in my order and got the Trenches special. Do note it's not on the menu so you might not be able to get it, just depends on who answer the phone. It's half lemon pepper, half hot with 3 dirty birds. Now they ain't tell me on the phone I got charged for two splits, a non-cash adjustment fee, a prep upgrade dressing, blue cheese + sales tax. That's low key wild..I would of cancel but I was already there by then. I think the customer service could be better. It kinda was like you asked for it so we did it...but bruh y'all could of told me. I ain't know about them hidden fees. Y'all acting like Netflix. In this economy every dollar matter. Also, I didn't know this spot was on the show Atlanta...but they got news articles inside about it. I'm not a fan of popular spots cause by the time everyone knows about something the quality has went down. I love that show...but curious why picking a place that has a *causian cricket named J.R. (disclaimer: this word was used in the article on the wall in the restaurant) as the logo for a show like that? Of all the other small blk owned spots in the city. Just my two cents. Anyways. Here's my thoughts about the wings. Too greasy, not enough spice, overly seasoned, over cooked, too little meat, not enough variation. They tasted more like leftovers instead of freshly prepared wings. Now the french fries with the seasoned sauce from the front!!! Bruh....now them thangs hitting. Call em Acuna cause thy hit em out the park. Anyways. The boxes that the chicken come in are cool too but they don't travel well...the wings grease might fuk up ya seats or break if you don't hold it right. Also it gets a little sloppy with the sauces for a good picture and the plastic in between. Would recommend something more stable. Like a plastic to go box that people usually have and just put the logo on that. The box seems more fit for a burger. Last thing. This was the biggest ranch/blue cheese I ever got. I'm guessing that's why I was up charged! Lol. It was fresh though. Probably the highlight of the meal besides the fries. It really saved the wings.

Great food and service definitely will be back to this location

Lemon pepper wettt!

The service is wonderful and they get to know you. How do I know this? Because the owner called my son out by name. My child is a Morehouse man who knows good food, especially his meat and potatoes. I just had to make sure that the owner knows that my baby boy needs veggies besides chicken and fries..lol. The food is delicious and they have the best Philly cheesesteaks around. I know after my kiddo graduates, he'll have to keep coming back for his Buffalo tenders. They're addictive.
