As a Birmingham native, I already had my own go-to wing spot like most people do. But once I found out that Exotic Wings & Things were halal, I had to give them a try, and they instantly earned a spot at the top of my list. I ordered the 10-piece wing combo, half Nashville hot and half jerk chicken. Personally, I had never tried that combination before, but it completely changed my perspective. The flavors complemented each other perfectly. Paired with the Cajun ranch fries, which were clearly cooked fresh and seasoned just right, the entire meal was on point. Thank you, Exotic Wings & Things. I'll definitely be coming back read more

Great wings and not pricy . More bang for your buck and a variety of flavors to choose from . Also have like homemade lemonade and other drinks DELICIOUS!!! read more

Definitely worth the stop! I stopped here on a whim and it was fantastic. Don't judge this book by its cover. My entire meal was awesome. I asked the staff about their favorites and went with their recommendations. Service was fast and efficient. The food was fresh and they put their local spin on it. I may have not ordered it that way so I am glad I tried it their way. The drive thru was fairly busy and the outside dining area was empty. I sat outside and ate. Wings, fries, and sweet tea were all great. I loved the honey hot sauce. read more

Exotic Wings on Green Springs in Birmingham is a must-try place for wings lovers! I had honey lemon pepper wings, Cajun ranch fries, and a blue lemonade. Everything was spot-on. The wings were delicious and crispy, coated in a sweet but tangy sauce. The Cajun ranch fries had the right mix of spice and creaminess to take the dish to another level. The blue lemonade was very refreshing and wrapped up all the flavorsvery well. Service was quick, and generous portions were provided. I will be back for a repeat visit for sure! I have been eating at this restaurant for 3 years now. read more

Did not bother to get my correct order, I wanted hot honey and Buffalo, gave me all lemon pepper wings. Wings are small.

My boyfriend is fairly picky but loved the wings here. The mild sauce was wired for me and a bit tomato-y. The fries weren't seasoned at all. I blamed these two things on the fact that we came soon before closing. We did enjoy the cook on the wings as well. They were crunchy the way we like-- they were a bit on the wet side, however. There was also what looked to be a hair in my lemonade. The food was prepped hot. read more

Exotic Wings & Things 1 - a chicken sandwich with french fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

In my opinion ALL restaurants should go by the rule of "If you wouldn't eat it, don't sell it" Exotic Wings, 208 Green Springs Ave. Sold me some spoiled chicken wings. On 8-30-21, 9:15 pm. I bought a 10 piece lemon pepper, broke a piece of chicken off with my fingers and plopped it in my mouth, and was immediately hit with a strong ammonia-like taste. Never having experienced that type of taste before, I googled what would cause that, and the answer was spoiled, rotten meat. read more

I love this spot! Everything is always so good. Them Cajun ranch wings!!!! I like the 2pc fish/6pc wings combo. I don't have any pictures because I always slam it into my face as soon as I get it. Highlyyyy recommend exotic wings!! read more

Everything is made to order and I go there for the chicken wings and fried okra. I do try a different flavor when I can but for the most part I get the same few flavors because I like dry rub read more

Wrong order and drink size and flavor. Management blames DoorDash. Replied, 'if we wanted to give you your money back there is no way to do it. Held the phone line instead of resending the correct products. Bad business and don't have a clue as to what needs to be done to fix this problem. read more

I know it's late and the workers are ready to go home but stank attitudes are not needed. I didn't choose your profession for you. We came in to the guy cooking on the grill saying the grill was closed. Ok so wings and fries only. We ordered a 10pc hot lemon pepper w/ ranch fries and a lemonade. I paid and the the girl walked off. The receipts came out and I tore them off to sign it. The girl came back and smartly said. I wish y'all wouldn't tear these off bcus if you break it they gon' make y'all buy a new machine. I replied I'm sure I know how to tear a receipt from machine but okay. I only tore it off bcus she walked away and I didn't wanna leave the counter without signing it. Get food fairly fast and now I know why. The fries had to be unthawed already. Bcus I saw him cook them but they weren't crispy. They were swimming literally swimming in ranch. See the photo. The wings are precooked which is horrible when they were precooked way before an order is placed for them and the oil is way over due to be changed. It was black and smoking and the wings taste just like it. The sauce was actually good but the lemon pepper was sprinkled just on top so that means all the rest was just hot. The wings was also too small for my liking. Either way I won't be visiting here again. Bad attitudes plus bad food. No need to return. read more

Wing places are among those kinds of businesses about which the debate over which is best will likely go on forever. I will therefore avoid making any claims about this one being the best. I will say however, that over numerous visits to Exotic Wings and Things over many years, that I've always had a consistent, predictable experience and that it has never been bad. The menu has a few interesting things aside from the wings that are worth a try. A fried bologna sandwich anyone? Order it. You've got nothing to lose. Anyway, they've got all kinds of flavors for the wings, so you're good to go there. I usually tell them to give me teriyaki and to shake the lemon pepper stuff on them as well. Lemon-yaki...that's what I'm talking about. Fries come with a nice seasoning and can sometimes be too hot to immediately eat, so that's good. The wings are always crispy and delicious, so that's good too. Prices are well within reason, so don't go in there expecting to spend a lot of money...you just can't. They keep some pieces of cake wrapped in plastic wrap on the counter...get one, you'll be glad you did. They've got an awesome mural on the outside wall of what appears to be several cartoon chicken wings with eyes and faces and maybe hands...I'm not sure...but in spite of the actual stillness of the mural I seem to think of them as dancing a bit and welcoming you in to enjoy your wings. Strange maybe, but unique for sure. 4 stars instead of 5 for just a few reasons. 1) they never give you enough napkins, and the napkins they use suck. They should follow the lead of Saw's BBQ and get those amazing blue paper towels. 2) Parking can be easy if the place is slow, but if its busy it can be treacherous. 3) It is, has been, and maybe always will be virtually impossible to get a refill on your drink. If you're the thirsty type you may want to bring that up to them and stay on them about it or you'll be slurping an empty cup for most of your meal. In spite of those things, its still a pretty good spot. Consistency goes a long way for me, and the price to value ratio for a meal here is dead on. If you haven't been, it's worth a shot to give them a try. read more

The cleanliness here has definitely improved by far..... however....the wing sizes have been cut in half to the point that as Im eating them they slip out of my fingers....and for the same prices if not more.. I can appreciate the new owners attempt but less food for more money will shut you down in the next year... Be better read more

Best place for wings. Love the price, love the flavor/options of flavors, spices and sauces. The location is extremely convenient yet sketch, I say this because I'm from Bessemer. If I go for wings I go here, I suggest that anyone looking for kickass-tastefully-goodness then u should stop here and fill your gullet with Birmingham's best wings (also many other options to choose from), u will not be let down..sweet deal for a buck. Please try and spread the word. read more

Everything here will make your taste buds sing with joy. From the wings to the chicken tenders, to the Philly (beef or chicken), to the fried catfish (it's so good.) The standout for me are the burgers and dogs. I love the Patty Melt (burger, cheese, grilled onions, mustard, pickle, on a Texas toast bun). And the St. Louis dog is hard to beat for the price. A hot dog on a toasted bun with mustard, grilled onions, bacon, chili, and melted cheese. It's a STEAL for $2.79. read more

Friendly, and great wings!!! I usually get Honey Mustard Wings with Fries. Always satisfied! Wait is usually about 10 minutes from ordering. read more

I'm going to give this place a solid 3. The servers were great, the order came out fast, the chicken was crispy! On the other hand, the fries were freshly cooked, but not crispy at all!! The oil tasted like it could have been changed also(we went around 6:30pm). The meal didn't come with a side of condiment, so we had to pay a little over 50 cents a cup for ranch and extra hot sauce The owner was very cold, her personality was conflicting with her servers, whom were very friendly! I did not enjoy watching her bark orders to them She really destroying the atmosphere in the entire restaurant! She should probably not be the face of this restaurant! Just saying‍. I could go on about this lady and I was only there for 30 minutes! Overall! The food was a 4/5, the servers were a 5/5, and the lady was a 1/5. So I have the place 3 stars ‍. Sorry, that's just how I do math. Lol read more

Good food Good service Close to my room They was a little dry but I did ask for extra crispy so maybe don't ask for crispy read more

Just left there and ordered wings got in car and my wings were literally cold yet to mention I sat there the hole time inside when I ordered my food. Definitely pissed read more

I live in Kentucky, but I visit family in Alabama frequently. A must have while I'm there I'd Exotic Wings. I usually order the lemon pepper wings and ranch fries. The food is consistently great. Honestly, my trip is not complete unless I visit this establishment at least once while I'm there. Birmingham has a lot of places to but wings, but I must say this is definitely one of the best. read more

Great customer service. The facility is a little old, however the food is good and freshly cooked. read more

The place looks to have new owners. It's nothing like it used to be when it first opened. The wings were too big and they weren't cooked "hard" as I requested, so they were spongy. They do give you more portions due to they put the fries in a separate container. I go here for the mild due to it being a "homemade" recipe which is sweet and tangy. The keekee pooh punch ironically wasn't that sweet so it may have been a bad batch. I may give them a try again but I'm going to specify they double fry them unless they use smaller wings. read more

My wife and I had our first experience with Exotic Wings today and I must say that it was pleasant. The food was amazing and the staff were extremely friendly people. The wings were cooked thoroughly and full of flavor. The Cajun Ranch fries were a unique twist, but robust and tangy. The only reason we give Exotic Wings anything less than five stars is that the building was run-down and dirty. My wife looked up and a roach was crawling around on the ceiling. The bathrooms were... Bearable, for lack of better terminology. In conclusion, Exotic Wings and Things is a fantastic place to stop and get some amazing food. The atmosphere is extremely pleasant and relaxed, but if you're a stickler for cleanliness, I suggest getting the food to go. read more

Love this place after a night at the kickball fields! You can get a ton of food for a really reasonable price. We got 20 wings and a thing of Cajun fries... GET THE CAJUN FRIES!!! Delicious!!! That was more than enough food for 2 people. They were pretty quick with getting the food out as well. If you're in the area it's definitely a place to give a try. Must tries: Corn nuggets Cajun fries Sweet & sour wings Lemon pepper wings- little salty Honey mustard with hot sauce mixed wings read more

Wings are always dry. Cajun ranch fries barely have any Cajun seasoning or ranch and I've gone a few times since it's down the street and it hasn't gotten better but worse in fact read more

Had a good dinner. I ordered catfish dinner with Cajun fries. Catfish was hot, crunchy on the outside, moist in the inside. Cajun fries had great spices on them. Place was a little dirty but not enough from stopping us from ordering. I would go back. They have a order for 1000 wings for 60.00 bucks, crazy . read more

A very popular wing establishment here in Birmingham. For me this place is pretty good. There are several wing places in the area. Where I count off is the appearance of the building. It's a little dusty lol. It's blue and yellow and honestly just looks like they just keep a bucket of grease and put wings in them lol. I do like the Cajun ranch wings which are very flavorful and cooked well. I always get the 6 piece combo with fries and a drink. Always does the trick. They offer a variety of flavors for the wings and also other items such as hamburgers, shrimp, catfish, philly cheese steaks and deserts. Staff is fair. Not to friendly or too unhappy just the right balance of yea I'll take your order just don't order anything crazy if that makes sense lol. I will come back. They have tasty ranch read more

Not good. Bad attitudes all over this place. Don't bother go somewhere else and enjoy better wings and better service. Wish i could give -

when I worked in the area I hit this place weekly with a friend. It was incredible at that time. Wings, fries, everything (except the napkins, wtf are those?) the last two times I've gone the wings have been small and no extra sauce in the tray at all. Where do they find these tiny wings? They were good, but just so tiny? Its like they buy their chickens from a dude who shoots them with a shrink ray! And leave a little extra sauce in the carton, nobody likes just dry wings. Well I don't anyway. And boy the smell in there. Like a mop that hasn't been replaced in years. And the restrooms are 3rd world countryish too. read more

Don't let the look of this joint fool you! The wings here are great, and they don't do a bad Philly either. Prices are beyond reasonable and the cooks are real cool cats. 1 of 2 wing spots I'll eat at here in the city read more

I ordered a Tilapia Sandwich and it was terribly salty. This was on my lunch time and could not return. I was very disappointed.

I'm not from Birmingham, but was passing through. I wasn't impressed with the way it looked from the outside, but decided to give the place a try. I ordered chicken tenders and fries. The food was hot and they fried my tenders like I asked, but the food didn't have me wanting more. It's not dine in friendly so I ate the food in my car. It was a decent amount of people coming and going while I was there so I'm assuming it's a popular spot for locals. read more

I don't come here much but when I do I go large. This place is on fire and produces some of the best wings going around town at the best prices. Famished ok night We got a 20 piece dinner to go. Mixed the wing flavours between buffalo, hot and sweet and lemon pepper. Their buffalo is a must and the hot and sweet were awesome. The Lemon pepper was a bit salty. We also got some Cajun fries and corn nuggets. The corn nuggets are heaven in your mouth. If I was stuck on a desert island with one thing to eat it would be that. Service is a bit slow and reading the huge menu board can be a bit confusing but all in all you should drop by this place and give it a go. read more

TRASH TRASH TRASH! Wings were hard and tough to swallow! The honey mustard sauce for the wings tasted like dijon mustard mixed with honey (YUCK)! I also had fish which was fried too hard and tasted like it had been cooked in old grease. Cajun fries weren't even good, and that's something hard to mess up! O M G and the pink lemonade tasted like NOTHING. Seriously think they squirted pink dye and lemons in some water with a dab of sugar! Won't be returning! read more
