Wingstop In Grand Parkway II

I stopped in the other day to try out this new wing option in our neighborhood.  Many reviewers I've read have had bad experiences, but mine was just fine.  I must not be alone, because the place was quite busy.  I ordered a six-piece wings, 3 original mild, 3 Louisiana rub, all bone in.  I ordered loaded Louisiana Voodoo fries, a brownie and a drink with it.  I would say it is mostly intended for take-out--most of the seats were being used by people waiting for large orders.  I had to wait about 15 minutes for mine as well, kind of on the long side but not shocking for food made fresh.  You can order in advance online, which looks like a good idea.

The wings were good, about on par with the other wing places.  I consider myself more sensitive than average to spice, but these were not very spicy.  The original mild was not spicy at all, and not super flavorful--didn't need the ranch dressing.  The Louisiana Rub had more flavor and some detectable warmth.  They were nicely cooked, neither under- nor over-done.

The fries were a small adventure--when they presented them to me the fries had not had the Louisiana Voodoo treatment.  They were able to fix it on the spot--cheese, ranch dressing, and a load of Cajun spice.  I would say the fries were perfect for this--done very well, so they were crisp under all that sauce.  They were the highlight of the visit.  They have compensated for undercooking them.

The brownie was underwhelming, kind of sticky and dry at the same time, and the chocolate tasted kind of powdery.  Might have been too old.

I found the service to be polite, but maybe still kind of spotty.  Couldn't visit the restroom as there was a line, but the tables in the place were clean.  The drink machine is a Freestyle, but was in good working order when I was there.  Overall it seems like they are settling down, and are definitely popular.  I think this would be my wing go-to over Big City or Buffalo, though the others have some options besides wings.
