“I’ve had Gus’s at one other location before and was happy. This location keeps right up and served up delicious chicken, beans, and Mac and cheese. I also really love the fried okra here. The waitress was accommodating for my elderly grandfather who doesn’t move well and sat us near the entrance. My drink never got below half full. Loved it so much I bought a tshirt. Hopefully I can come back sometime soon with my whole family. This was way better than Joe’s bbq next door.“

“First time here and was surprised on the flavor. I had the chefs special that came with a rainbow roll, shrimp killer roll and chimichang. Chimichang was not for me but had good was not horrible. The Daikin roll was good and tasted fresh. Yellow tail hand roll is a must get. Red dragon flavor was a hit as well. My wife had the chicken katsu and the breading was light and delicious. The pork gyoza is a must get for a starter . So when we are back up I. The KC area this is a must come back to.“

“My husband couldn't decide between the gumbo and the venision chili. Our server recommended the gumbo and we are so glad she did! it is amazing, seriously some of the best we've ever had. It is so full of flavor yet not too spicy. The roux was phenomenal. The fried chicken was crispy, well seasoned, and juicy. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. The only reason we are disappointed is that we live 4 hours away and won't be able to come back frequently.“

“Great experience. Took some friends in the Northland, after being fans of the Westport location. After ordering, the manager talked to us and even offered samples of multiple menu items so we’d know exactly what to order next time. Not a lot of businesses care about each individual customer, so I can’t recommend Wings Cafe enough. Good food and good staff is rare. We’ll definitely be back soon!“

“First visit yesterday and to start the hostess, light skin woman with long black braids was not friendly at all. Didn’t direct us where to go, no friendly greeting. Just a bad attitude but with another table she seemed to be a tad bit more friendly. Wasn’t the best way to start. Waiter was great and food was delicious which made a better experience. Just need to get that hostess some manners and better customer service skills.“

“Went there for a late lunch to meet two friends, and the food was delicious, and it didn't take long to get. Chef Anita came out to greet us as well!!Wheelchair accessibility: I'm a Paraplegic and the location doesn't have a door opener for wheelchair accessibility. The building is city owned, and in the Jazz District, you'd think the city would make their real estate accessible! That part was a disappointment.“
