Shinie’s Review: Thumbs Up for Wingstop

I stopped in at WingStop on Government Way to pick up dinner tonight. Word of mouth is the Atomic Wings are dangerously hot. I took the cautious route and ordered a split of Original Hot and Garlic Parmesan. The Original Hot were, “Almost as good as Chili’s,” according to (hubby). That was after I had to reheat the wings, since he got a late dinner break. My Garlic Parmesan wings were good - the first couple of ones anyway. After that, the excess of cheese and garlicky butter was too much. I was impressed with the service. The employee who took my order was friendly and polite. Plus she paid extra attention to Munchkin and gave him a balloon. That always earns points in my book. I got a side of carrot and celery sticks (a must with wings). I was surprised by the quantity of veggies in the order. It’s not often a restaurant offers a healthy choice that is cheaper than fries. Then again, they have to counter balance the deep fried, oil/butter drenched chicken wings somehow — Shinie / This Is Growing Up .

Cost: $10.99 for 20 wing pieces; $.69 for carrot/celery sticks

DFO: I’ve never heard of this place before. Then, it sounds like a place I now have to avoid, given the current diet. Pause (for sympathy purposes). ‘Tis nice to have another reviewer in the blog pack.
