    *** Review is during Covid-19 *** Workers were all masked. They were fairly busy, and people weren't necessarily spaced out in the waiting area, but I believe they were when seated at tables. I called ahead to place the order, and that worked well. Their estimation of when my food would be ready to pick up was pretty close. I think I waited about 5 extra minutes than expected inside. They have a big menu, which makes it a good place for people who are in the mood for different things (although everything they have is still under that American food umbrella). I got sweet potato fries as my side, and fried pickles to share. I thought the fries could have been a little softer, but they were fine. The fried pickles were good and had that tartness that I really enjoy! I felt like they gave a good amount of the pickles too. I loved that if you order the chicken, which I did, they give you options for spice level. I've never really seen that at an American food spot, so I was happy about that! Probably the main reason I ended up ordering the buffalo chicken tender basket. It came with 4 medium sized pieces of chicken... I wouldn't necessarily say they were the full size of a normal chicken tender that you'd expect, but it was still decently filling (especially with the side of fries). Note: There was also a regular chicken tender basket with the option of spice level, but when I asked over the phone, it seemed like the difference was that the buffalo chicken basket was tossed in your flavor choice, while the regular just had your flavor choice as a sauce on the side. Not only do they let you choose a spice level, but they have lots of choices!!! It ranges from mild ones like teriyaki and honey bbq to medium ones like cajun and and double dipped all the way to hotter flavors like mango habanero and at the very top "afterburn". I ended up at the flavor just called hot, which I thought was a good classic flavor. It was near the top of their flavor thermometer (4th from the top), but it really wasn't too spicy for me. I think with it being that high on the list, I was expecting a lot more heat. So if I ever go back, I'd probably try a different flavor in hopes that it's spicier!

    Good food and selections, tons of flatscreen TVs with all the sports and a little bit unusual menu. Kind of a typical bar, burger and wings joint, service was fast and even though it's a lot of hard surfaces not too noisy. The menu had a bunch of choices and all the typical rubs and sauces of a wings joint. What made it special was the additional menu items like several versions of Oster's, fish and chips, sweet potato fries with house dipping sauce, and many other items. The quality was good, burgers were simple, they didn't ask how we wanted them cooked and I can't say it was as good as a steakhouse burger. But everything was fresh, bacon was crispy but not over cooked. They served really good sweet potato fries but had a variety of options including onion rings. My son ordered wings which were moist and juicy and not too small. Service was prompt and friendly. We look forward to going back and trying more of the menu, there were all kinds of things to try. You can do touchless ordering via a QR code on the wall or use a menu.

    Oysters were supposed to have Parmesan. Nothing but black pepper and tough as rubber. Gross

    We decided to try someplace new and boy did this place disappoint. LOUD. Difficult to hear the person sitting next to you. Slow service. Flies buzzing around the food. Nasty food. Every single thing is frozen and heated by either deep frying or microwaving. I understand deep frying foods at a bar but this was all so gross I didn't even eat more than a couple bites. The fries were limp and white. Gross. The sweet tea tasted like fish tank water had been used to make it. Our waitress could not be bothered to check in with us and thought my comment about the flies was funny. I will never go here again and I will encourage everyone I know to avoid at all cost. We ordered baked oysters and they didn't even put the Parmesan on them. They were tough and chewy. I tried eating one and ended up spitting it out and left the rest. The waitress asked if we wanted boxes to take food home because we hadn't eaten anything really and we said no it's too disgusting to eat. She didn't offer to comp the meal or anything. Nasty frozen food. Flies. Gross oysters. Loud environment. AVOID this place.

    We had a tough Wednesday all week so we decided to eat out and try Jefferson's. Comfortable seating area. The beer was good, and the wings are great. We enjoyed Parmesan Garlic, Turbo and Afterburner sauce. Sauces were good, especially with the fried pickles. The wait staff was friendly and good. Not a bad way to rectify a tough Wednesday. I recommended Wednesday night's for $0.50 boneless wing night.

    3.5 stars! We came in around 11:45 am on a Wednesday. Only two other tables were there. Staff no longer wears masks and there are no hand sanitizer stations. Large place, good ambience for a bar type of restaurant. Ordered the jeffersons chicken and it was tasty! Nothing that wowed me but I did enjoy my meal. Our waitress was friendly but for some reason it did take her like 25+ minutes to come get our order even though there were only two other tables there. She checked on us once after we got our food but that was it so I never was able to get a refill. Overall would come here if you're wanting this type of food but really not my first choice.

    Jefferson's is all about its wings, burgers and oysters! Unfortunately they were out of oysters when we went but they do have other stuff on the menu like shrimp, wraps and sandwiches. The fried pickles are hand bread in house and came lightly battered and were pretty tasty. I enjoyed the buffalo shrimp basket with sweet potato fries that came with hush puppies. My fiancé had wings that were decently sized and juicy. They also have daily specials.

    Soggy fries pickles, undercooked fries, no flavor full of fat wings.

    Worst wing place I have ever been to. Wasn't busy, yet horrible, slow service. Waited in total, 30 minutes for the check, taking the check back and asking 3 times for a box. Fries were barely cooked along with the "fried" pickles. Pickles were just a soggy, oily mess. The wings were full of fat and no flavor. My boyfriend and I ate a total of 7 wings and a few of the fries, total waste of money.

    Why did I NOT know about this FAMOUS Joplin Wing place? I have been missing out, but I have been…read moresaved :) The wings are big and delicious!! Got the bone-in (bbq) and they were so good!! Paired them with fries and their fries were super tight too. I am a pretty good eater and I got 5 wings and fries and that was a good sized meal. I was full but not stuffed. Service was great! Waitress was around checking on us and they had a dual wait staff to make sure we had someone always checking on us. The place is wide open inside and has a sports bar feel on one side and the other side is more dining room feeling. We had TVs to watch all the live games. The FOOD is KING here as those wings are worth showing iiírp.

    Heard and read great things about this spot, so I wanted to make sure I stopped in. We sat in the…read moresports room. Tons of TVs, plenty of high tops. Had a group of people doing their fantasy draft and seemed like there was plenty of room to do that. Our server Cassandra came over, helped us with all the beers on tap and answered menu questions for us. Decided to order the 5 piece garlic parm and a 5 piece suicide sauce. Note that you cannot order two sauces with the 10 piece, you have to order two 5 piece orders. The prices for a 5 piece seem a bit high at $8.50 though. Wings came out very quick and were cook pretty close to how I like them. The skin wasn't too crispy, was just right. The meat easily came off the bone. I appreciated the amount of actual parm that came on the garlic parm, but I was missing that garlic punch to complement it. If you're looking for heat, maybe ask for an extra side of suicide sauce. I didn't find it to be much hotter than a typical buffalo style sauce. Having said that, the flavor of the sauce was tasty and I would 10/10 recommend for flavor, but lower your heat expectations.
