I came in wondering if the sign that claims they aren't fast food should be a warning or a claim. It's a claim: because this is definitely way too good to be fast food. I walked in thinking I was just gonna get a small basket of chicken and some fries, maybe a soda. But the moment we walked in and saw the menu of options, I knew it was gonna be more than that. The sauce options are classics but improved (so glad someone FINALLY made a Garlic parmesan sauce that has the actual garlic flavor I want). The daiquiri are so good, and I'm so glad they have options for those who want no Alcohol! Honestly, im going to need to come back for this spot alone!!! The wings were perfectly fried, with a perfect crunch on the outside and tender meat inside. The Sauces and Dips are all homemade! We had the wings tossed in the Quack Quack (Asian Heat - more of a sweet than spicy) sauce and the Fowl Chicken (Garlic Parmesan-Deliciously loaded with Garlic) and the tenders in the Wet Willy (Bbq) and Asian Heat. Everything paired perfectly with the homemade ranch and house sauce!!! It was all delicious and we left feeling comfortably full (not bloated) and with leftovers!!!!

Visitor notes
For you first timers. Order inside and head outside to enjoy the patio. Fans on every table under the covered patio. They’ll bring you drinks and call your name for food that you can pick up from the window. Kids meals available, comes with nonalcoholic daiquiri. Bone-in wings and tenders. Fun flavor daiquiris… yes there’s a good amount of alcohol. Fry’s are thick and spiraled. The meal is perfectly capped off with a jolly rancher. Although, they have a few desserts to try as well. In my opinion, there was a little too much sauce on the wings but they were cooked to perfection. Loved the fries. Fried pickle cones with every meal but I thought the breading was over seasoned. To be clear, nothing tasted bad. I’d definitely be back.
The garlic parmesan wings were rich, buttery, and packed with flavor. Each bite had that perfect balance of savory garlic and salty parmesan, with a crispy outside that held the sauce just right. Super satisfying without being too heavy. The lemon pepper wings were the real standout—zesty, bold, and full of that tangy kick. The seasoning was on point, giving that perfect mix of citrus and peppery heat. Crispy, juicy, and bursting with flavor in every bite. Overall, both flavors were a win—perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and definitely worth ordering again. 🍗✨
Food is made fresh to order so came out hot! These strips are massive. I was debating on 4 piece or 6 because I’m a big boy and so glad I got the 4 because it was plenty! I got hot lemon pepper which is like buffalo with lemon pepper. Asian flavor was my favorite. The chipotle aioli has a kick and so good. Ranch is homemade and very good too! Definitely will return. I posted a pic of the box because it’s like a sleeve over a thick paper boat just for your knowledge.
Took my good friend here for her birthday, and we’re already planning our next visit! We ordered the extra crispy Garlic Parmesan and Spicy Lemon Pepper wings, spiral fries with blue cheese and chipotle aioli, and everything was absolutely delicious. The frozen 🥭 Mangonada was to die for! The atmosphere was amazing, great vibes, a live DJ playing good music, and we enjoyed an awesome strawberry vanilla hookah. We also had the pleasure of meeting Sandra, the owner, who was so kind and made us feel genuinely welcome. This place is definitely a hidden gem! We can’t wait to come back for their Sunday brunch, especially the chicken and waffles and those $3 mimosas. Highly recommend 😁if you love wings, these are some of the best around! 🔥🍗🍹🎶❤️
The Thirsty Chicken is our go-to for fresh fried chicken in-town. There is a sauce for everyone, a choice of either boneless or wins, and their thick-cut fries are the perfect mix of crispy and bite. Never had any problems with our orders with our multiple experiences with ordering take-out online and we will keep coming back.
Cute place. Shaded and exposed outdoor seating. A little warm on a 95 degree day, but so were the hot wings. The thick cut curly fries were unique and filling. They have alcohol and non-alcohol slushie drinks. The Cheetos wings cost a dollar extra per wing. I really didn't enjoy those that much because they were incredibly salty. Great concept though.
Placed a take out order but Loved the atmosphere and vibe at this place nonetheless. Sauce collection was great and the service was outstanding. Staff helped us make the choice since this is our first time visiting the place. Wings were good though some of the sauces were on the sweeter side for my taste. Pickles were crunchy and tangy. Packaging was good and They accommodated our request to pack sauce on the side which worked since trying out for first time.
