And don't get me started on that garlic sauce and Nanna's banana pudding was astounding. I've never had banana pudding that good before. This is a MUST try!

After a previous bad experience where we didn't get our food we decided to try Wing Kyng again…read more Both boneless and bone in wings were cooked well. The potatoes had great flavor but would have liked them a tad more crispy. They have a wide variety of sauce choices which is great. I wish they had better descriptions for some of them though. The Grippos dry rub and the Cajun lemon pepper were great but the dirt bowl classic just had some sort of flavor that made everyone with us dislike them...maybe cinnamon but can't put my finger on it. Overall they are worth a try if you want variety. If you want just a classic hot buffalo wing there are better options.

They came with carrots and celery. Also, got some jalapeño poppers. The wings were extremely dry and lacked flavor, not what you'd expect from a wing spot. Honestly, the only thing worth eating were the jalapeño poppers. The service was absolutely wonderful, the staff were very friendly and helpful, but the food just was not it for me. Sadly, I won't be coming back.

I had a great experience at Joella's Hot Chicken in Lexington! If you enjoy hot chicken and like…read moresome serious flavor and spice, this is definitely a place worth checking out. I went with the spicy hot chicken and absolutely loved it. The chicken was crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and the seasoning had a really good balance of flavor and heat. The spice definitely had a kick, but it didn't overpower the actual flavor of the chicken. That's what I really enjoyed about it -- you could taste the seasoning and the chicken while still getting that satisfying heat. The portion was good, the food came out fresh, and everything tasted like it had been prepared properly. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, which makes it a great spot for a quick lunch or dinner. The staff was friendly and the overall experience was exactly what I was hoping for from a hot chicken restaurant. If you're a fan of spicy fried chicken, I definitely recommend giving Joella's a try. The spicy hot chicken was the highlight for me, and it's something I would order again.

Rating: (4.7/5)…read more We've definitely become regulars at Roosters, and it's easy to see why -- we absolutely love the staff and the food. This is truly one of the best bar staffs in the city. Everyone is super friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel right at home every time you walk in. The wings are amazing -- easily one of our go-to orders. And the beer? Some of the coldest taps in Lexington, hands down. If you're looking for a great spot with awesome service, great food, and an all-around fun atmosphere, this is it. Highly recommend checking it out!

Oh yeah the fried pepper rings appetizer was perfect (thin coating and a lot of them). And our waitress (Hannah)- one of the nicest, friendliest and "good at her job" waitresses I've had in a long time. Y'all should ask for her. It's appreciated greatly - right along with the wonderful food! And overall good & friendly environment!!!! I'll certainly be back - no doubt about it! It was worth the hour drive! Special thanks to Christine Pizon Riggle for taking us out for such a wonderful meal.........YUMMMM! She sure wasn't fibbin when she said Wenchell's was good!

We enjoyed the beers on tap and ordered the fried dill pickle chips (lots of breading) a hot dog (it's their namesake) and chicken club. The food was ok, but nothing stood out. If we ever went back I would definitely get something else. This is probably more of a watering hole than a notable restaurant.

It was a upbeat place. The food wasn't the best. It wasn't the best catfish I've ever had in my life. The sweet tea I got was absolutely gross it had a bad aftertaste. It was not sweet. It was not worth what I spent for it. I got a whole gallon. Would I necessarily recommend this place to anybody? It's decent chicken. The potato wedges are really expensive. They were not worth what I spent on them. They have a lot of room they could grow and a lot of things that need worked on as far as quality for their food. I have worked in the kitchen industry for 20 plus years. It could be better

Also, not sure where they get off having "seafood" on their sign and selling this bullshit ass fried popcorn shrimp from Kroger. Disgraceful.

The price was $6.85 and a little over seven after tax. I got the original not the spicy. The chicken was flavorful and juicy and crispy on the outside. It was delicious. I chose to get the yams as a side and they were also delicious, just sweet enough without being overly sweet. I did look through the case at the other sides and I will say the other sides did not look very good. The macaroni and cheese Was not as appetizing looking as I wanted it to be. I would've rather had macaroni, but not the macaroni that I was seeing.

I really fail to understand the (over!) hype about this place in different food groups on Facebook…read more It might be that Lexingtonians are just starved for entertainment maybe? Anyway, being a franchise chain, it's ok. But seeing the lines wrapping around the building you'd think this was a Michelin star restaurant. Staff is pretty young but friendly.. though they seem overwhelmed with the steady crowds that have been seen at the establishment since it opened. My regular order of traditional wings with mango habanero sauce was ok.. pretty much standard.

Received the wrong sauce on the wings (darker red) when I ordered mild (orange color). Went in to get new wings and instead of just fixing the issue a member of staff decided to gaslight me and tell me that the used the correct sauce. It was a hot sauce that gave a lot of kick - the mild is well...mild. Argued with me and then finally decided to make new ones after several minutes. Decided that I just wanted a refund instead due to attitude, which became a whole new issue. Horrible customer service, bad management. Have ordered from this location many times since they opened, but won't be going back. I've given them several chances and I've had bags that leaked multiple times as well. Try the other locations instead.
