I met a friend at Wing Barn inspired by the 50% off wings on Tuesdays…read more This Wing Barn is facing I-69C (Hwy. 281) and is just on the north side of the Academy store in the Shoppes at Rio Grande Valley shopping center at the Expressway and Trenton. The building is relatively new and is in great condition, well maintained. As you walk in you are met with a welcoming blast of cool air from the air conditioning (it was a very hot day!), and loud noise from the TV'S which line the walls like a sports bar. Basically, this is a sports bar that serves food, and specializes in chicken wings. There is an industrial modern vibe with the decor: corrugated metal and concrete. I would have preferred less noise interfering with my conversation with my friends. I had to cup my ear a few times, but we managed. Order your food at the counter, and they'll hand you glasses for soft drinks (or fresh brewed iced tea) and a number. They bring your order to your table. I got five "tongue twister" wings and five "razz chipotle". The tongue twister sauce is very tangy and salty - I decided to cut it with the sweet razz chipotle sauce which is quite sweet and a lot more raspberry than chipotle. I also probably could have cut the excess tang of the tongue twister with some fries. Next time I'll order something else, as I am sure I'd enjoy other sauces more - like the garlic Parmesan. I did appreciate fresh brewed iced tea, either sweetened or unsweetened. This is semi family friendly, definitely not a romantic date place, but a perfect place for guys to hang iut and watch a game.. The menu offers much more than wings. They also serve a number of burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, various tantalizing appetizers like fried mushrooms and bacon-wrapped Jalapeño poppers. I will most likely return, but order something different.

The service was horrible!! It took over an hour to get my 10 wings. All the to go orders we're…read moregoing first before the ones that were actually sitting down at the restaurant to eat. When we asked the server who gets priority, she said the ones dining in. That was not the case that day. Will never return.

The sauces just don't have any real flavor. You get some spiciness depending on the flavor, but no…read moresalt, no sweet, no umami, just nothing. I tried the Mexican BBQ, original buffalo, and Serrano buffalo. The original buffalo was the only thing that had ANY flavor, and it felt watered down. The wings were also wrapped in aluminum foil for my to-go order which left absolutely no crispness to the skin. This place just didn't do it for me in terms of the food, especially being on the upper price range for wings (over $1.20 per piece). The service was great and very prompt though which I would say is the only redeeming quality.

So we were told on arrival that there was only one server however there was no apparent lack that…read morewe could tell. Everything else was ok...typical wings that were decent. I do love sitting on the patio and their outdoor area was nice with screens showing the playoffs, however the swarm of flies ruined the experience.

The Chicken was very soft and filled with amazing flavor. The service could use some more work…read more The restaurant was somewhat empty and the young waitress was more focused on cleaning the restaurant than attending us for refills. We went around 8:45 PM and the Ambiance was nice and quiet. There was a strange odor. My main reason for the three stars is because it's so overly priced. It was a more one and done type of thing. Because to go again and pay those prices was just not it for me.

I asked the cashier if the chicken was the appropriate size. She went to go "remake" it but just added a chicken tender next to the original piece of chicken that was cold. And wasn't covered in sauce it looked as in sauce was just poured on top of the tender. We also had to ask for pickles twice even though it should already come with them. Night crew does not know what they're doing.

To her response "I think" looked at my husband and expressed right from the beginning we should go elsewhere due to her shitty customer service. Since I've tried other great Wing Barn locations we decided to overlook this persons demeanor and stay for the soccer game. Welll...... all I could say is we will never be coming back to this specific location and wouldn't recommend it to any one. P.S if you want avocado bring it from home, because you'll get one sorry slice. If you made it past all that ^^^ -Jalapeños weren't grilled -No cheese on the kids burger -And no sweet potatoes fries with the substitution
