Cool little whole in the wall type of bar. Fried shrimp basket was good. The grilled lacked seasoning. I didn't bother ordering a mixed drink her and opted for beer. Overall staff was nice and it was nice place to stop before going out.

1st time I visted and 2nd time my cousin came to this location. We choose to dine in. I got the lemon pepper wings and sweet barbque. The lemon peppers were cooked fine however the sweet barbque for fried burnt hard today. They did replace with the other lemom pepper wich was better. However had a very rude and bad expreince from a lightskin curly hair women working the bar. ( per recipet states Lexi T. )She forgot to give us our ranch that comes with the wing meal and ignored us the whole time. Put meal in her way first with out asking our prefrences. Ex. Grilled shrimp until I said something after. However there was helpful darkskin young man that finally went and got us some ranch.And when the check she charged us extra for it stating she didnt see if we had the ranch (in which she never brought out.) However she was more attentive to all the men that came to order but could not hear me asking as soon as she brought it out.I was really disapointed from my exprience with my sevice from the female bartender. My cousin and I both were really looking foward to a good experice and good food. I normally leave large tips and good reviews but this was a real disappointment and this did not meet my cousins expectaions set the last time she ate here as well as my first time visiting.

-Wings are very undersized for the price point, I've seen hummingbirds with bigger wings. -Hot sauce is underwhelming but lemon pepper wet is good. - I'd suggest going to The Local instead. It's right down the street and has much better and bigger wings. -Bad representation for ATL wings.

there is no way to order ahead. the food is always good, but they won't answer the phone or allow you to order online.

Don’t think it’s right to have automatic gratuity on a party of 2. Let the customer decide the gratuity they choose it may be more than the automatic if the person isn’t “forced” to pay it.

I remember when JR Crickets used to be a good spot with good wings, but my last visit left me wondering if those days are long gone( I actually used to be a server at the Cascade location back in the 90's). Myself and 3 family members decided to stop by on a Saturday evening. The service wasn't bad, but our server was definitely a little forgetful. We all ordered 10 pc combos but different flavors. The flavor of the wings was good but they seemed less than fresh, kinda like they were pre-cooked and then dropped in the oil to reheat... disappointing. I also ordered the fried mushrooms( that I've loved for 30 yrs), which I never got because as I said previously, our waitress was a bit forgetful. As a native of the A, I can't say I'll never go back, but it may be a while...

I usually love coming to this place but after my experience on April 15th with the people working. I will not be back for a long time. I sat at the bar for 20 minutes and not once did someone come over to ask me if I needed a drink or had ordered. Then the bar tender proceeded to serve someone else who can in after me. They food is always amazing but again after this experience I will not be returning for a long time.

ALLY Love

Came here late night after partying it was definitely a vibe. The staff was friendly and everyone spoke. We ordered wings and margaritas and India did her thang. ! She was so sweet and it was our first time and we're from cali and I was enjoying every bite!! She can make some good drinks !!! The inside is a nice size and the music was bomb! I felt at home until next time

The buffalo shrimp are good. The service wasn't the best, and the place looks really dated. Besides, that I would say I give the Food a thumbs up.
