Dropped in after looking up a spot for wings and definitely would come back! Jerry was working today and immediately greeted my friends and I with a warm welcome. The wings were awesome, lots of flavor. Cool spot to grab some wings. read more

Order scheduled for pickup at 2:10... waited 30 then was advised come back in 30... came back at 3:30.. then waited with other folks waiting for hours until 4:30 when I was told my order didn't even have a ticket on the board in the kitchen. Was refunded and left Leaving the review here for ownership / management. Since the issue wasn't with the staff who were working their asses off. Make sure you are staffed for a busy day like the Super Bowl.. and if you are HOURS behind on orders then shut off your online ordering And stop taking new orders. After that be straight up with your customers and tell them it will be a few hours. That way they can make an educated decision and not just stand around being told it will be soon, or your next, or 30m read more

JD's Wingz & Waitz: A Mediocre Odyssey So, I decided to check out JD's Wingz & Thingz for their infamous "50% Fcxk It Friday" deal. Spoiler alert: the name might refer to how they feel about your time. First off, bring a snack. Maybe even a meal. Heck, pack a picnic because whether you order online or via their kiosk, you're about to embark on the Hunger Games. We placed our order online, which came with a alresdy one-hour wait according to their site. Fine, I thought, patience is a virtue. But when we arrived, we were told, "Oh, it'll be just 20 more minutes!" So we waited in the car. After 20 minutes? You guessed it--another "just 20 more minutes." This cycle repeated until our 50% off wings turned into a 200% test of endurance. Final tally: two hours from order to wings-in-hand. Now, onto the wings themselves: OG Hot: Imagine licking a salt shaker that's been sitting in a sauna. Triple C Hot Honey: Sweet, yes. Hot? Only if you consider room-temperature syrup "spicy." Dirty Buffalo Mango Habanero: All mango, no habanero. Where's the heat? Did it get stuck in line, too? Plain: They were... wings. That's all I've got. Lemon Pepper: The MVP of mediocrity. These wings were okay enough to make me briefly forget the two-hour saga. Oh, and the wings are baked, which might sound fancy and healthy, but here, it translates to oversized, charred chunks of what I can only describe as "flavor-adjacent" charcoal. You either love this burnt-to-a-crisp vibe or you don't. Spoiler: I don't. The silver lining? We tried them at half-price, so I didn't have to pay full price to learn I'll never return. JD's Wingz & Thingz isn't a vibe--it's a test of your patience and taste buds. Would I recommend it? Only if you enjoy long waits, salty regrets, and the subtle crunch of ash. read more

JD's Wingz & Thingz - A image of disappointment baked wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Placentia, California

I tried out their tots and fried chicken sandwich with the Nashville seasoning. I was disappointed with how they came out; the tots weren't crispy, they were more soggy with oil and it didn't seem like it was consistently seasoned. As for the sandwich, the breading was more mushy than crispy, so it turned out messy to eat. As for the chicken itself, it was kind of bland; it's like flavor only came from the breaded seasoning. The other thing that was off putting was the lack of someone up front taking orders. I initially thought it was one of those automated places, so when I input my order through a touch screen, I only realized there was someone working there when they popped out with my order. Maybe, it's my fault for getting something that isn't specifically wings since it is called JD's Wingz after all, so I might give those a try next time, but I'm not getting any chicken sandos again. read more

Phenomenal wings! Top tier flavors! Soooooo good! We ordered 4 flavors: honey bbq, mild Buffalo, garlic, and teriyaki. I would 10/10 come back for the honey bbq & buffalo. Wow! We didn't know they were baked but we're so happy they were. The veggie sticks were also good and fresh. Ranch dressing seemed home made but I could be making that up. Order online and save $ and time. Will absolutely be back. read more

Best wings spot in Cali! Top quality juicy and delicious. Service is outstanding. Pretty cool spot also when you eat here with a bunch of games like bball and arcades and other stuff. Gerry was awesome and welcoming made sure we were taken care off. read more

JD's is an amazing and severly underrated spot. I came in on a Tuesday afternoon around lunch and it was amazing. The service is sensational. The worker, Beto, walked me through all their menu options and how they bake their products and why. I went for the bone-in combo with dirty buffalo (mild+lemon pepper). It was bomb. The wings are huge. The flavor was on point. They do a homemade ranch as well which was fire. The interior is well furnished. Music choice is great in my opinion. This crushes in terms of value and is God's gift to wing spots. read more

New to the area and wanted to get wings. Screw those big corporations and support local! Tonight we stopped by here and we were not disappointed. This healthier baked option had an amazing crisp while remaining super moist and juicy inside. Favorite flavor to least (out of the ones we tried): honey bbq, Hawaiian teriyaki, mango habanero, garlic parm On the side we ordered some tater tats and were super happy to see them seasoned. As for the ranch, wish it wasn't as runny. Will have this spot on our weekly rotation when we order out. read more

Was craving wings and this place was on the way home. It's a small place located in a small shopping center but there is plenty of nearby parking. The storefront is charming with funny neon signs and decor that reminded me of childhood summers, if that makes sense. Staff was very polite and my order was done within 15-20 mins of my call in order. Dips and veggies are included in the a la carte wing orders and the veggies were SO FRESH and cut well. Places likes Buffalo wild wings always give out ugly, wrinkly, waterlogged carrots and celery. I would pay extra for the veggies from JDz. I was also very pleased to find out these wings are baked instead of fried. They were big and moist. I docked stars because they unfortunately got my order wrong. I got a 10 piece of half lemon pepper and half creole bbq. I received bbq and garlic, which I didn't even think was a menu choice. They have garlic parm but there was no parm on my wings, just chopped garlic and parsley. I also didn't find their flavors that interesting. Lastly, their menu screen showed fries but they don't offer fries, so i thought that was weird. Overall I would return though. read more

What can I say about JD's Wings & Things... I drove all the way from Irvine to try this spot as I am all about a place that specializes in one thing and here it would be phenomenal wings. The spot has a 90s rap and old school feel and vibe. The music is pure nostalgia back when music was actually good. They also have some miniature old school arcade games and some other fun stuff to keep you busy and occupied while they make you those amazing wings. We got the Dirty Buffalo and Big Bs Hot Honey. Both were extremely generous with the meat on the bone, packed with immense flavor, and so fulfilling when it comes to pure joy for your taste buds. Service - A+++++ Food - A+++++ Flavor profile - A+++++ Cleanliness (especially the bathrooms which were spotless) - A+++++ All around, some of the best if not THE best wings that I have had in a long time and I am not even from Buffalo. This is definitely going to be my number 1 and go to spot and it's a gem of a place for wings galore as they offer 14 different flavors so you know even the picky and indecisive folks will have zero excuses. read more

Small parking plaza tucked away in Placentia, great service from young staff and incredible taste from BAKED wings! I had this place bookmarked for a while and then saw a video reel advertising the fact that these are baked wings. Inside is plenty of picnic table style seating, a large tv showing MMA fights, and cool decorations like low rider bikes, and basketball to pass the time waiting (there's seriously no wait at all in comparison to a large order from Wing Stop) and you can taste the difference in the wide variety of sauces. My personal favorite is the OG hot which is pretty spicy even though I typically love dry rubs. Plenty of deals going on with online discount codes and free bread drinks or dessert with a review. Will come back again, already visited twice in a day both for lunch and dinner! read more

I tried the Big B's Hot and honey and they are delicious. customer service is a plus as well. I recommend giving this place a try.

The food was fine but why does it take an hour and a half for two orders of wings? I ordered at 4:36 and was told it would take an hour. i left my house at 5:50 and arrived at the restaurant at 6:10 and was told it would be another 5-10 minutes. when i asked the employee why it's taking so long, he said it's because they were getting a lot of orders. there were literally only 4 people in the restaurant. read more

Hubby and I stumbled upon this this place thanks to yelp, seems to happen to us a little to often. But I'm glad we found it because so far the experience has been perfect. You walk inn and there's a tablet where you can order and get 10% off or you can scan the QR code and order online and get 15% off you can also order at the register but who doesn't like a little discount ?! . All of the sauces they offer are listed on the door and on the wall which I love because I like to know there's different options. I mentioned to the charlotte that it was our first time and she took the time to go over their menu with me & explain the combos, she was very welcoming . Will brought out our food and was very nice and professional. Food is delicious sauces are on point 10/10 will be back. Ps: best tater tots I've ever had . Had to update my review after we left because we also tried the pull apart bread and it was a delicious compliment to the sauces and the chicken. Came out nice and hot very soft buttery and garlicky. My husband and I both agreed we will be back and will be recommending this place to our friends and family. Also the owner was there and working in the kitchen and in the front he was super nice! read more

I've been ordering here at least once or twice a month. The chicken is baked and delicious. Every first Friday of the month after 5 p.m., the wings are half off! My favorite flavor is lemon pepper, followed by Cajun Creole. The Nashville hot is pretty good, but I can't eat too much of it because it upsets my stomach. Once in a while, they'll email you discounts if you place an order online. However, the majority of the time, when you order online on a first Friday and get the half-off deal, the wait time is at least 30 minutes longer than the estimated time. read more

Came here for a quick lunch with my coworkers on Friday. We found this place on Yelp and with the reviews we knew we had to check it out. We were not disappointed. We ordered: chicken sandwich, 5 wing combo with tots, and 7 wing combo with tots. The combos come with a choice of side (veggie sticks, tots, toast) and a drink. For my 5 wing combo I got the tots, and Arizona iced tea, and wings with a dry lemon pepper rub. It took a bit of time for the food to come out but it was worth it. Food it definitely made fresh to order and comes out piping hot. My coworkers said that their food was good, and unfortunately I can't remember what flavors they got but they said it was delicious! My 5 wing combo sadly only came with 4 wings, but I guess it's fine since they gave us 4 extra wings with this other sauce after hearing us talk about the sauce and wondering if it was good. Staff is really friendly and make sure that you're satisfied with your order. They bring your items to your table if you eat there which was really nice. This spot is laid back and friendly, and good for group hangs. They have some games for you + group to play with too. I'll definitely be back here the next time I'm in Placentia! read more

Amazing, Hospitality was outstanding. & Boey & Angie were so kind & helpful. I recommend this place to anyone in the area.

I recently found out about JD's Wingz and it's amazing! I was in the Placentia area looking for something to eat and I decided to give JD's Wingz a try. They specialize in wings and the cool thing is that their wings are baked not fried like all of the other places. This was my first time having baked wings and it was so good! I feel like baking the wings gave them a better taste and seems a bit healthier since it's not being fried in all of that oil. I also thought the baking process gave the wings a better texture on the skin and chicken overall. I really liked that their pieces of wings were a good size and they had a variety of flavors to choose from. I enjoyed all the flavors I got to try, but I liked the lemon pepper the most! These baked wings are definitely a good option to bring to a pot luck or party. The customer service was really fantastic as well. The staff was really nice and helpful with any questions I had and that made my process of ordering a lot easier. The interior is really well decorated with a lot of art and pieces on their walls. There's also plenty of games available to play. The restaurant offered plenty of seating and I liked how spacious it was inside as well. read more

First time here. My kids have been wanting wings for the past week. Went onto Yelp and found this place was close to where we were at. And I'm so glad we stopped here to get our wings. Service was great! The employee behind the counter, Jason, was such a tremendous help. He even allowed me to combine three of the flavors together. (Hawaiian Teriyaki, Honey BBQ, and Lemon Pepper) Highly recommend! We also got Hawaiian Teriyaki wings, Honey BBQ wings, Garlic Parmesan Wings, and Garlic Pull Apart Bread. Everything was on point and delicious!! Very chill atmosphere. We played connect four while we waited for our order. They have a good variety of games to play. Kept my kids entertained. JD's Wingz is definitely now our go to spot for wings. read more

A coworker of mine told me about this place & how the wings were baked so I knew I had to go check it out. We got here around 12pm & it had a decent amount of people inside. We got the last available table & started to play with some of the games they have there (which is pretty neat to kill time) We got the 20 wings (half lemon pepper, half garlic parm) and a side order of tots. Everything came out in decent timing & it was okay, not too bad but also not out of the ordinary. The lemon pepper was pretty good and I appreciate that its not dripping in oils like at other places but the garlic parm was just a little weird to me. The tots were okay as well. Great service though, we had a few people come out and check on us & the girl at the register was really nice & welcoming. The music was poppin' and the decor is pretty cool. I'd come back to try out the other flavors. read more

The service here was fantastic. Very friendly and hospitable. I enjoyed the wings, though next time I think I'll get flats only. Wasn't too crazy about the drumsticks. The OG Hot flavor is very spicy and I typically enjoy spice. It wasn't bad but just a bit too spicy for my taste. If you can't handle spice, I recommend the mild buffalo. Mango habanero was decent. It's not like your typical mango habanero which is more tangy like wing stop's. The cost here is reasonable. Combo comes with a drink and fresh side. Clean spot that is air conditioned. Lots of parking. Well-maintained restrooms. Would I come back? Yes, if I'm craving wings. read more

Randomly stumbled upon this baked chicken place on Instagram. Didn't feel like cooking but was rather craving chicken wings! Stopped by in the evening and the staff was really friendly. From the list of sauce choices, I got the honey garlic and their hot wings. The owner also explained that they make the sauces in house. You can taste the difference in their sauce! So good and healthier since the wings are baked. I went ahead and ordered almost 20 wings to eat it back home with beer. My family loved the wings and pull apart bread. This is a great place for takeout and also catering to schools and businesses. Go check them out! read more

This place is great! Starting with the excellent service. Every time we've come in, we're greeted with a smile from the gentlemen behind the counter. They are always personable, professional and helpful. The ambience is cool. There's always music playing loud enough to enjoy but not blaring. They have a classic bike hanging, some tables to sit while you eat or while waiting for take out. Towards the back there are some games and other decor. The food: ALL the flavors are delicious.l but my fave go to is the lemon pepper rub. The wings are meaty, not dry and cooked to perfection. The tots (potatoes) are seasoned just right and crispy. My grandson loved the garlic bread. We ordered the family meal 30 wings (up to 6 flavors) & 3 sides. Everything was delicious. We keep coming back and will do so! Overall, o definitely recommend them. You'll keep coming back! read more

Wish I didn't devour the food before taking a pic! The two guys working the front were very friendly and attentive. We absolutely loved the dirty buffalo & the Hawaiian teriyaki! Will have to come back to try the rest of the flavors. read more

Hands down our favorite spot for wings now, we came in on a Tuesday night - the location is unassuming. In a strip mall between tax offices off a busy main street, the large sign pointing out fresh baked wings is hard to miss. Walking in, we wre immediately greeted with an energetic and very friendly man. Who turns oit to be the owner and a former MMA fighter. (?!) Talk about a cool ass experience. Cares about every single person coming in, and being the one that was doing counter service and cooking this night, he still made the extra step to make sure everything was tasting well. As for the wings, juicy, flavorful, and ridiculously filling! The sizes on these are huge! 11 Wing Combo -($20) - 20 Just Wings -($28) - Flavors ordered, Lemon Pepper, Honey BBQ, Reaper Madness, Garlic Parm, and Creole BBQ. Everything was evenly coated and super flavorful. My favorite was the honey BBQ, while my husband really enjoyed the creole BBQ. Full warning, Reaper Madness is HOT. Husband loved it, but his mouth was on fire, definitely fun to watch. Overall, it was a great experience. Food was delicious, service was impeccable, and all our food came out fresh. Please ty of seating inside as well! Totally recommend. read more

JD got some BOMB wingz!! I hope this place gets the recognition and business it deserves because it's a nice place with good food. My husband and I just came here thinking we were going to eat some skinny wings quietly and leave, but that wasn't our experience at all. We were greeted, had the menu explained to us, and given a 15% off code to use right there for our order: we ended up getting a 20 piece with tater tots and a drink. One word--DELICIOUS!! The sauces and the dry rub? TOO GOOD! The ranch? Taste better than that one other chicken place. The wings were so big, so meaty, so juicy, and so tender and not greasy because...baked...I was kind of shocked because these are all rare qualities that other eh, local wing places do not possess. On top of all of that, they had fun games to play! We played basketball and giant connect 4 and a couple of other games. Need a place for date night? Come here. Need to grab some wings for the family? Come here. Guys night? Girls night? Self care night? COME HERE! read more

A unique wing spot that pays homage to the 80's and 90's! This hidden gem feels like a blast from the past. Walking in, you feel like you're walking into an outdoor picnic with the family. The lady at the front desk had such friendly and welcoming service. She guided us through the menu and helped us decide on what to order. Their flavors range from sweet to absolutely lethal spice. They also offer sides - veggies, tots, garlic bread, etc. My wife and I ordered 5 pieces of OG Hit traditional wingz, and 10 bombz (boneless wings) - 5 pieces of mango habanero, and 5 honey bbq. We also had the garlic bread. All of the items were generously seasoned! The traditional wings are baked to perfection - a nice, thin, crunchy layer on each wing. The boneless wings were moist and bathed in sauce. The bread was airy and flavorful. Overall the food is was phenomenal and cooked to perfection. While we waited, we discovered the little ring-toss games they offer in their restaurant. My wife and I were so invested in the game that we didn't realize our food was ready. The best experience I've had a wing spot! Will come again soon. read more

We pre-ordered because it said Pre-orders get priority and here we are 1 hour and 20 mins after our pick up time without wings. However a door dash sure went out before people's preorders.

Ordered wings for pickup today and they were alright. Got the Lemon Pepper, Cajun BBQ, and Mild. The Mild and Cajun BBQ were alright, mild was a bit on the vinegar-y side. Lemon Pepper had zero flavor, didn't really see any of the usual lemon pepper seasoning on it. All the flavors sorta had this black char on them. Don't get me wrong, the wings were very juicy, tender and hot! Just wish the flavor had been better, especially with the Lemon Pepper. Also, the ranch had tiny little grainy chunks, not sure if it has gone bad or maybe the ingredients weren't mixed very well. Didn't notice until I was two or three wings in lol. My friend ended up eating most of the wings haha. I will say, wings were done on time and prices were alright. read more
