    What a HUGE difference it can make from one location to another. After the HORRENDOUS, DISASTROUS…read moreincident that I had at the Hot Wings Cafe earlier today, I drove all the way to the Sherman Oaks location to eat the same food that I was going to order at the Glendale location. I am still very angry and slowly my anger is subsiding. Walked in and got a very warm welcome from a guy named Joseph and wanted to know if I was eating in or getting food to go. I told him I am eating here and Xavior brought me a menu and I was seated instantly. This location does not have a patio so I sat inside. I ordered small 12 pieces bone-in Chicken Wings that came with celery sticks & carrots. It also came with ranch, BBQ and mild sauce. $17.95. Being so hungry and frustrated from the other location, I also got their Philly Style Steak Sandwich/the works that came with sautéed onions, green Bell Peppers, sautéed mushrooms & Provolone cheese ($13.95). Food tasted very delicious. Hot Wings were crispy, tiny pieces. Finger licking good tasty. Both Joseph & Xavior checked on me twice to make sure everything was ok. I also got a Mango/Nectar juice. It was a bit sweet for me; but, I watered it down with some ice. Asked for extra celery sticks & ranch dressing and within a second or 2, it was already on my table. The total came out to $41.25 and Joseph got the tip he deserved! Restaurant was very clean, including both bathrooms. Has a small parking space in the back but mainly street/metered parking. Overhead music playing todays hits, along with few TVs were around me. Enjoyed my food and this location very much!! Has 4 locations. Melrose, Glendale, Pasadena & Sherman Oaks. Thank you Joseph, all other employees, management, last, but not least Hot Wings Cafe. Will be back soon when I am craving for some delicious food from their extensive menu options!!!:-)

    Wings are usually pretty good here. Fries/onion rings can be a hit or miss in terms of…read morefreshness/greasiness. What really bothers me is that they are extremely cheap with their sauces. Only one sauce per order no matter the quantity of wings. An 8 piece includes one ranch or bleu cheese, but so does a 16 piece (when it should include two logically). Even if you buy a $10 order of onion rings, it doesn't come with any sauce, just ketchup that you have to specifically ask for which isn't even name brand ketchup. I understand some people are unrealistic and ask for an excessive amount of sauce that they never end up using and it goes to waste, but damn one sauce is pretty cheap. They could also include a bit more carrots/celery with an order of wings but its just a tiny pinch they throw in. Carrots and celery are dirt cheap anyway.

    I just had a friend cater from here and I think I ate enough for a small country to be full for a…read moremonth. The food was absolutely amazing. I'll go one by one as I really didn't skimp on any of it..... First off, the brisket was so tender I couldn't even get it on to my plate originally. I had to keep stabbing at it with a fork and it just kept falling into pieces it was magical. The flavor was amazing with the perfect combination of that smokey and fire grilled taste. Didn't even need to use any sauce, but don't sleep on their BBQ sauce it had the perfect flavor of not too acidic and not too sugary. It's hard to stop eating it. I had to follow it up with the brisket quesadillas because.... well because they were staring at me and I had to show them who was boss.... Again, insane flavor combo and pleasantly addicting. Next move I had to throw down on a couple of hot wings to make sure my taste buds were still jumping and ready for the upcoming situation. Just for reference purposes, nice little kick with a bit of smokey flavor. Could've eaten 20 in one sitting but was continuing on my path of BBQ destruction. We now veered over to the baby back ribs .... I think I ate 10 before I realized what was going on. Yet again, the flavor was perfect and the meat was cooked to perfection. It didn't need any sauce, but I was a big fan of loading up on the BBQ sauce for these bad boys..... Next I shifted my fat eyed focus over to the tri-tip. It had that perfect pink center looking like a medium rare meaty super model. I went a different route here and dipped it into this horseradish sauce concoction that I never seen or heard of in my life. I don't know what was in that sauce, but it was phenomenal. I could have literally eaten this stuff by itself, but everyone was looking so I didn't want to make it weird. The tri-tip itself didn't even need any sauce and was super juicy, but that sauce just elevated the taste to another level. Now we decided to go a different location on the farm pay tribute to some smoked chicken. I had to dabble with both the BBQ sauce and the horseradish sauce as my dipping/smothering choices for this tasty bird. Couldn't even tell you how great it was without the sauce, since my mind was already fading trying to fight off my meat sweat coma. Lastly for our protein portion of the evening, I had to top it off with some of that pulled pork. Now this was extremely flavorful and some of the best I've had in quite some time. I did however enjoy lathering it up with that BBQ sauce like some of his fellow plate mates I already devoured. I will give a shout out to the sides, even though I only had a brief taste of each as I was going hard on the proteins. High fives to the potato salad, coleslaw, Mac and cheese, street corn, corn bread, tator tots and collard greens. I may have possibly missed one or 2, but after gorging on disgusting amounts of food, you tend to forget things. Had to make sure to sneak some of those greens in there so my heart didn't give out.... I however did not indulge in the chips and salsa that were there since I didn't want to come off as a pig..... So instead (as I forgot to mention previously), I took the queso and poured it over some pulled pork because that's what needed to happen at that moment.... Boom! For the grand finale, we had this banana pudding dessert that literally put me over the top. If I could openly cuss on this platform, I genuinely would.... It was absolutely orgasmic. That's right, you read that correctly. I don't know what they put in that thing, but to call it amazing would be an understatement. Pretty sure I blacked out at some point while finishing my bowl of dessert. As you can read, I was not a fan of any of the food in any way shape or form.(Sarcasm ...) I look forward to going back, but I will need to wait until I awake from this painful food coma I've been fighting off since the ending of the World Cup match watching USA beat the breaks off of Bosnia with one man down. Much love on the food and I happily dedicate this extra fat fold on my stomach and the 8lb weight gain to AJ's BBQ.

    Wow! My new favorite BBQ spot in LA. To start, great service! Everyone was super nice and…read moreinformative! Now let's get into the food. I got a brisket and half rack of ribs, with corn bread, greens, and beans. My friend got the elote cup and that was equally as amazing! Everything was excellent! The meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the sides were delicious. My husband and I were blown away and already planning our next visit back.
