Craven Wings

This place is close to where I've and there aren't many other options nearby. I was excited about having decent restaurant/bar nearby. First my rating does not reflect the service. The waiter was nice and did his best, but it took a long time for our food to come out. It was not that busy, so since they just opened I'll chalk that up to them getting their processes in place. The food was just ok. We ordered a combo appetizer with fired pickles, cheese sticks and fried mushrooms. We didn't eat most of the mushrooms because they were soggy. The fried pickles were just ok. My biggest disappointment was with the wings. Honestly, there doesn't seem to be any quality control over plates when leaving the kitchen. There were 3-4 "wings" in our 20 piece order that should not have been served since they appeared to be just partial drums. The wings were not tossed in sauce, it looked like they quickly dumped bbq sauce over them, same with the garlic parm sauce. Some wings were drenched and other had hardly any sauce. The taste was ok, the bbq sauced wings were good. The garlic parm sauced wings were greasy so I would not recommend it. Overall I was disappointed, but I am willing to give them another chance in a few weeks to see if they have improved. They have a great patio and bar so I do want this place to be successful.

They just opened this week and are already super busy. Since they cook the food fresh, be prepared for a wait. There's only one phone line and they encourage callers to order online. I tried, but it kept crashing. I went to the restaurant to order there and it took approximately 35 minutes and they were maybe half-full. They do have kinks to work out but it's worth the wait. I ordered the boneless wings and got regular wings instead. Not a big deal, just a preference, and again it's a brand new place with kinks to work out. The staff was friendly and helpful. I tried the sweet chili and spicy BBQ sauces and they were both excellent. The fries are good too. My wife liked the fried pickles and my kids liked the chicken tenders. They didn't eat the last one, so I ate it and can attest that their chicken tenders are excellent. Especially using the spicy BBQ as a dipping sauce. Their takeout box was well-divided so that the sauces didn't mingle and the fries are separate as well. I'd definitely recommend eating here (or getting takeout), but be prepared for a wait and bring your patience.
