Clay's Sports Cafe

Went here to watch football and eat wings. Wing flavors were great! Good size wings and you can split up for flavors. Lemon pepper was great..jerk was good....medium had food spice. The Cajun fries and onion rings were also yummy. Good beer selection. Friendly staff.

Came in front some good wings and cold beer. Enjoyed some appetizers of onion rings, tots and mozzarella cheese sticks, all very good! The onions rings were crispy and stayed in place when bitten into and the tots had a Cajun spice to it, very good. We enjoyed some wings, nachos and fries.

This is my favorite wing spot in Atlanta. It is a sports bar that serves food that definitely deserves more recognition in the area. The wings are to die for! They are the perfect size and have the perfect crisp. I’ve been several times and have never left disappointed. I can’t say enough good things about this place!

The wings are some of the best in the metro. They are big but not meaty and fatty. Good flavor and crispy. This is a casual sports bar with a laid back atmosphere. If you are in the area definitely check them out. They don't have hard liquor but have beer and wine. What more could you ask for at a sports bar?!

Wings (lemon pepper) were incredibly good. Juicy inside w/ a perfect thin crisp outside , and just the right size. ( we are very picky!!) onion rings perfectly proportioned with breading and cooked perfectly! Tater tots were way better than expected. - not sure how they pulled that off - so perfect! Server, Genni, was efficient pleasant funny attentive and on top of everything like a champ! I don't ever write reviews for local food b/c it's always a disappointment in some way. But this place won me (and hubby) over!!

Amazing big, flavorful, and meaty wings. Nice tater tots too. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Interior a bit dated but the wings are worth the visit.

Best Wings in the Atlanta Metropolitan in my opinion. (Medium Hot 🔥 and Lemon Pepper). The wings are a good size and perfectly cooked. I would also recommend ordering the Cajun fries = delicious.

Decided to stop by and watch the Falcons game on our way home from the GA Aquarium. The wings and fries were AMAZING! Service was good (nothing impressive). The atmosphere overall was meh. BUT the wings and fries make it totally worth coming back for more. 100% recommend to anyone looking for wings.

Our first time did not disappoint! The nachos were my favorite (we ate them too quickly to snap a photo), but they were covered with all the good stuff: queso, jalapeños, beans and we added ground beef. I had the boneless basket -- with Cajun fries. My husband opted for bone in wings. We will be back!

THE WING SPOT. Nothing in Atlanta is on their level in the 20yrs since I first had them. Any wing lover I know who's been is hooked. I'm sure the rest of the menu is great but....those wings. I've never had a batch under/overcooked and never been served skimpy wings. Either they've had the same fry cook for decades or they've got a cloning device. So consistent. Even with wings reaching luxury prices, their portions take the sting out of it. Their dry rubs are especially nice and you can get your fries/tots tossed in any of them. I don't care for extra spicy but apparently their hot is legit hot. Their core staff has been around forever and they're super cool, including the owner (Clay, I guess?). Any "Best of Atlanta" wings talk that doesn't include Clay's at the top didn't do their research.

I am convinced that this is the best wing spot in Atlanta. This place is extremely consistent. I love the flavors and meatiness of the wings. Cajun fries are a nice touch to any meal. The buffalo basket is 10 wings with cajun fries and veggies. It is a gigantic meal for the price. I love coming here. Last time I got jalapeno wings and they were great.

Clay's has some of the best wings in the city and probably anywhere. Tons of sauce options, my favorite being the hot lemon pepper, they're delicious! For those looking for other options there are big salads, sandwiches and great pizzas. You really can't go wrong. The last time I was there I had just had wings the day before so I went with the Little Italy pizza and added onions to it. It was a great pizza. There are plenty of tvs and friendly servers to make sure your experience is great!

I've had takeout from Here before but never been inside. It's your typical family sports pub but honestly smaller inside and feels like a fun family place. Not too loud and definitely casual. We all enjoyed our food. They had a solid business through the night. The servers were working hard to keep up but eveuthing came out relatively quick!

Great place to grab a beer. Thought there'd be more TVs lowkey but overall a good vibe in here. Lotta people claim these are the best wings in Sandy springs..... I sure hope not.... I thought they were just OK. Good service tho I'll definitely be back. A lil overrated tho for the wings

Best and biggest wings I've ever had. Not the least bit greasy and full of flavor. Small place, maybe 15 tables, and very popular place. No atmosphere, but TVs tuned to sports. Beer, wings, subs, pizza and great appetizers.

My guests and I really enjoyed the lemon pepper wings!! Super lemony and crispy even getting takeout. Didn't get a photo bc we dug right in. This will be our standard go to place for lemon pepper wings now. Even though I called in and ordered ahead, it was a bit slow during pick up so I had to wait a little more than expected. It was fine but will keep this in mind timing wise in the future. We'll def be back!

Decided to try Clay's after hearing some great things about the wings, and it deserves the hype. I ordered the Hot Lemon Pepper Buffalo basket and the wings are perfectly fried, juicy, with solid flavor. These had real size, not those scrawny little wings. Bonus points for the generous side of blue cheese (and it's actually good, not the sad watery kind or the little cups that some places serve). Tried the chicken quesadilla too and was pleasantly surprised; crispy edges, cheesy, and a portion that didn't leave me still hungry. Great value all around. The food took about 20 minutes or so to come out but it was a full house so the wait time was expected. Whether you're here to watch the game or just crush some wings and catch a vibe, this place delivers. I'll definitely be back on Sundays to catch some NFL games this season.

Clays is hands down one of the best wing spots in Atlanta. The wings are a good size, the sauces are flavorful, and the ranch actually stands out (which matters). The Cajun fries with queso are a must. Service was on point the entire time, and the sports bar atmosphere makes it a great spot to hang out, catch a game, and enjoy good food. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to.

Service at Clay's is always warm and efficient. It has an unpretentious sports bar feel, with generous portions of tasty food at reasonable prices. The fries are very well seasoned, and my go to is the wing basket. The hot wings are a bit peppery in addition to spicy, but I always thoroughly enjoy them

Great wings and great service. Love the Lemon pepper wings or lemon pepper hot. 10/10

I LOVED everything about Clay's Sports Cafe! Apparently I had bookmarked this place and didn't really realize it. I'm happy that I did! It was super busy when I visited on a Friday night. I placed my to go order and ordered a beer while i waited. Staff was hardworking and nice to engage with. The portions sizes are huge here! Sooo many fries!!! My wings were great!!! Definitely had some leftovers for the next day! Clay's has a sports bar vibe. Not that huge inside but there are booth and table seating available. Patio too! I really enjoyed my first time here and I will be baaack!

Came here as a walk in with a party of four on a Saturday for dinner. We have been here once before and had a great experience. This time around they were way more busy so it took a while to get seated so that's understandable. I will say with how packed it was It was extremely hot and no air circulation so made it pretty hard to enjoy the entire meal. As for food, everybody ordered chicken wings, and fries. They came out pretty quickly and tasted great!

I really really recommend this place the wings and pizza are phenomenal I always get the cheese pizza and wings. My co workers always order from here on pay day. And they call it pay day clay day.

Food and Service: Quite honestly I was very impressed with this place! The food was really excellent for a sports bar! It is not fine dining and was never designed to be, but just very good bar food! I asked if they had any soups on special and at the time they had a chicken and wild rice soup which was seasoned to perfection. It didn't even need salt. The soup was so good I forgot to take a picture until the end haha haha. It came out warm so I asked them to reheat it half way through eating it and they were so attentive. My buddies had wings and they also looked scrumptious! They were super juicy from what I could tell! They had no complaints and were talking about how good it was the whole time. I'd say this place definitely beats a chain restaurant on the wings side. I hope they have the same soup on special again too! The service was very good. They were attentive and friendly, and more than one server came to check on us! Price: It seems like a given now that eating at a restaurant will just be so expensive. Every time I go out I'm just waiting for the bill to be $20 more than I expected or something. I was pleasantly surprised that the prices were reasonable. Honestly the fact that I didn't feel price gouged bought my loyalty. I would much rather support this local joint than some Chain restaurant! Atmosphere: they have plenty of TVS but it's not so loud in there that you can't have a nice conversation! I will definitely be back!

After having this spot dozens of times, I am declaring Clay's as having the best wings in Atlanta hands down. I've also had this verified by multiple locals I turned on to this spot. Wings and service are consistent, which cannot be said about most wings spots I've had in the city. It's a smaller space, definitely a bar type feel. There is outside seating as well. Plenty of TVs for games as well. The wings are the perfect size in my opinion. The chickens aren't starved like major chains and not too large to where they are fatty and tough. They are perfectly fried and have the crispness I like in my wing. My go to flavor is the hot lemon pepper. Perfect combination of dry rub and sauce. My family also really enjoys the honey BBQ. The service is always attentive, friendly, and quick to respond to needs. I've never seen people waiting on anything at their tables. They always seemed to be fully staffed. Definitely check this spot out if you are looking for a new wing place. They never disappoint.

Clays Cafe is great-- the food and hospitality are really good! If you're into an "everybody knows your name" type of spot Clays is it!

Worst service! It's a seat yourself spot and they don't clean the tables after people leave. We got to our table, which was still dirty and after standing there for about 10 min, the server came over and yelled at us for being by the table. She was over the top aggressive and then also never came back to clean the dirty table. After waiting 10 it was obvious she was trying to make a point to us, before leaving, other tables also left. If you can't handle a busy Saturday, maybe that's not the shift you should work. We will not be back.

Clays is our go-to restaurant for wings. The prices are the best in Atlanta, the service is quick despite being so busy, and the waiters are friendly. Their pizza is simple but one of my favorites in Atlanta. Visit if you're looking for a no bs proper wings place.

One of those places where you look at the outside and don't expect too much. Absolute top tier restaurant and recommend to anyone. 10/10. Probably in my list of top 5 restaurants. Best wings in Georgia

For me, it's all about the sauces and Clays just doesn't show up. Fries are good, chicken is good, condiments are good, portions are good. However, their sauce selection just doesn't hit. Buffalo isn't buttery enough, there's not a great sweet heat sauce like a honey sriracha, and the BBQ doesn't do it for me.

Great wings and good service. Good prices, too. Nothing flashy and not slick or produced but a well run local place with great food!

Soooo... I came here with extremely high hopes and hunger a little over a day ago!! Now, maybe it was the hunger speaking, but if there's one thing I cannot stand about a place of service is POOR SERVICE! I came here by recommendation of my friend and knew I wanted a six piece wing and fries. I initially ordered lemon pepper, garlic parmesan and mild WET wings. I was told by the wait staff that their garlic parmesan and lemon pepper rubs were already served wet. My experience with other restaurants are that they are a dry rub. So, I always order mild to get it tossed wet. Anyways, by recommendation of the wait staff, I went with just lemon pepper and garlic Parmesan (sans mild). Now, I won't even dive into the IPA I ordered, that I didn't like and asked to have replaced - which never got replaced. My order arrived very quickly - which was a plus considering we came peak dinner rush hour but, to my dismay, it (my wings) were NOT served wet. It was very much a DRY RUB. The very thing they explained to me that it would not be. Now, while the wings themselves were made well - which was a saving grace - I did NOT get what I ordered. Upon explaining to the wait staff that my order was not prepared as it was ordered, I was told the manager would be out to speak to me. Naturally, I stopped eating because I was not going to continue eating an order that was not served to my liking. While my friend - whose order was also initially served incorrectly was able to get her order corrected - enjoyed her meal, I sat waiting. I waited and waited and the manager never came out to speak to me. Instead they took my incorrect order away and removed all items from bill. They didn't ask to replace my order with the same order (just made correctly) or even ask if I wanted to sub for something else. So, after my friend paid her tab, we simply left. I'd have been happy to have my order replaced or to have the opportunity asked if I'd like to place a new order (and I'd have gladly paid for it because I am not even one that cares about having my orders subbed... I came to EAT and enjoy a meal for a reason.). None of which happened. I left disappointed and still hungry and took my business elsewhere. Should I return, I pray my experience is far better than this one because the little bit of the food I did get to experience - even despite it being served incorrectly - was good. Until then, I am sad to say I left disappointed with the services rendered. Also, before I wrap this up, the wait staff was nice. Our orders arrived quickly and the price points were very reasonable. The overall atmosphere was lively (very family friendly). They had ample TVs for anyone looking to watch any games and the overall decor was on par with most sports bars / eateries.

Looking for a to go wing spot on a Saturday night and Clay's didn't disappoint us.. I saw a post about the best wings in Atl and decided to give them a try. Glad that we did, wings were cooked perfect and were a good size. I will absolutely be coming back to get some more wings from them.. Looking forward to trying different flavors next time.

Holy cow this place is AMAZING!!! $16 for 10 GIANT wings with so many fries and blue cheese and celery and carrots. And all of it was incredibly good. The hot is HOT (so be warned). Will happily come back and get either the same thing or something else because so much of it looked good. The salad was also humongous and awesome.

Returned again to test out the lemon pepper wings - my favorite - and they were as excellent as ever. So were the tater tots LOL. Service was terrific (thanks Mo!), and washed the wings down with a frosty cold Blue Moon. My favorite wing place in the ATL. So happy I found lemon pepper wings that are so delish!

So clays is a typical sports bar. You have bar food and TVs on the walls. It's in a plaza, but the plaza is pretty busy usually so you'll have to try to find parking however you can. It's not the fact that everybody's here for the one location, but it's just the fact that there's so many other restaurants here then it may be hard to find at least a park right at the door. Being greeted by the bartender is always good, so I would say that they are pretty good customer service. The Waitresses that I've interacted with have also been very good and friendly. There is not a full bar (so don't expect to get cocktails) but they have a plethora of beers to try. The wings we're good. They were very nice size and a lot of flavor. I had the lemon pepper hot and the hot ranch wings. And they're exactly what they sound like lol. Hot sauce and ranch, hot sauce and then the pepper. But the food even though it was just standard bar food was good and filling. They didn't skip it all as you seen the pictures! Super reasonable and super affordable as well.

The wings are so goooooood. I am for sure a wing "afficionado". I was in the area and looked up where the good wings are. This place popped up. Very unassuming establishment that did NOT disappoint. It is tucked back in a corner in a shopping area in Sandy Spring and easy to miss. I'm not mad about that because that meant it wasn't. There was a mixed crowd, which I like to see. But back to the wings- they are phenomenal! Not to bypass the service though. My server was the sweetest, and very attentive, not in the fake or overbearing way. Her timing was appropriate, as well as her attention and demeanor. It just felt great being here and the food tasted great (which was what I came for). The server put me on to a new beer that was DELICIOUS. I foresee myself being back her a whole lot.

Loved this place! It was our first time going and will be back for sure. We got lemon pepper wings, pepperoni mushroom pizza, mozz sticks, and they were all delicious. The service is also great and everyone was friendly.

I stand on the take that these are the best wings in the Atlanta metro. There is a solid assortment of flavor choices and the sauce is top-notch. I'm also impressed with the deal, because the quantity of tots/fries along with the wings is a great amount of food for $15.

The food, service, and atmosphere were fantastic. We had the garlic parm wings, honey mustard wings, Greek salad, and fried cheese sticks. This place is fire. We will definitely be back to try the pizza. Can't recommend this place enough.

Best wings in Atlanta. I hear they game other great items but I came come here and not order the wings!

Best wings ever! So happy to support this great local business! We have loved this place for years and are so happy they are still around! We love nicely sauced, good sized wings and Clay's never disappoints! Their medium and hot wings are hot enough to satisfy our craving for delicious wings and the service for this locally owned and operated business is always friendly and exceptional! This is our go to wing place and they never disappoint!

I hadn't been inside Clay's since they moved from their original location 9 years ago. My bad. I used to love this place. But the "new" location provides much more space and plenty of room at the bar. It's a sport's bar with all the usual wide screens turned to sports. Great place to watch the Braves or the Dawgs. Food has always been good. I had an Italian hoagie, toasted with melted cheese - perfect. They also have good pizza, calzone, but specialize in the wings. The bar is large and comfortable. Good beer options and the folks that work there have been there awhile. The know their business and know their customers. Again, my bad for forgetting about Clay's after they moved. This place has "Cheers bar" written all over it. It should be everyone's favorite neighborhood place.

Delicious! Pizza, good quality, toppings, wings Big without without looking like they're on steroids delicious flavor great sauce amazing service! I appreciate whoever posted about this place. It's a new favorite.

This place is a hidden gem, in a busy shopping center with other bars and restaurants... It is known for its wings, getting great wing reviews, but I am a mega fan of the pizza. The pizza is amazing! Its a basic sports bar with several tv's to choose from and different events on. The staff is great, food is good, and theres a patio area. Check it out if you are looking for good wings, amazing pizza or a good time watching the game.

Really great wings, good size, tossed in lots of sauce just how I like it! Their Cajun fries were a perfect companion as well and enough to serve 3 people! Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Will definitely stop in again next time I'm in town!

I was searching something recently and this place popped up. I'm glad that it did. They have been open since 1991. That says something. Lemon pepper wings are delicious. It comes with one sauce I ordered 3 more I wanted to make sure I had enough. I got a 15 pc wings. Delicious flavorful and tasty. They put the sauce under the parchment paper also carrots and celery. I gave my nephew one and he wanted more. I ate several on the way home before I touched the blue cheese. Definitely some of the best wings I've had since living here.

Clay's has the best wings in Atlanta, and trust me, I've eaten my way through the entire city in search of the best. Although technically located outside the city, it's worth the drive. The servers are super sweet, but the wings are the true star here. They always come out crispy, never over-sauced. For takeout, I recommend ordering the wings plain and getting your sauces on the side. My favorites are the Hot Honey Mustard wings. It may sound unusual, but don't knock it until you try it. The tanginess and sweetness of the mustard pair perfectly with the heat from their homemade hot sauce. The Hot Honey wings are also to die for; if you love sweet and spicy, these are your go-to. For dry rubs, the ranch wings are probably my favorite--simply wow. My wife loves the hot ranch, which is ranch seasoning mixed with hot sauce. Yum! They do an excellent job with the lemon pepper, an Atlanta staple, and the lemon pepper hot wings are always good too. If you can't decide, get the wings plain and try all their amazing sauces on the side. Their starters are typical bar food, but the jalapeño poppers with their incredible ranch are a standout. Speaking of ranch, it's so good. A special off-menu item, known only to regulars, is the pizza crust breadsticks. Crispy yet soft on the inside, with a perfect sprinkle of parmesan--these are super good. If you want the best wings in Atlanta, Clay's is the place. I've been to B&L, the Bando, JR Crickets, American Deli, Fox Bros, and everywhere in between. I can confidently say Clay's is number one.

I had such high expectations for this place. After leaving the southside of town, with great wing spots on every corner, it's a little different in Sandy Springs. I was highly encouraged to try Clays by at least 3 or 4 ppl. It was extremely clean inside and u can tell they use fresh ingredients so definitely 2.5 stars for that alone. I'm a very fair and honest person. My order was simple; 6 piece wing, fried extra crispy. Hot honey sauce, fries and ranch. When I picked up my order, the wings weren't crispy at ALL. Sauce + heat+ Styrofoam. I get it, sometimes that will happen. HOWEVER that wasn't my problem.... Before leaving the register I told the service lady that my wings weren't crispy. She went to the back and 6mins later literally brought me THE SAME jumbo, slimy wings as if my order had been remade. The audacity!!!! But instead of arguing about 6 pieces of chicken, I know the power of my review‍. Never going back there again. It's not about the mistake, it's 100% about the way it was handled. I was very fair in my review. But 6 pcs of chicken just cost you 6 potential new customers. Hope it was worth it...

Went to Clay's Sports Cafe this past Saturday and had a good experience! R wanted wings, and wanted to hear my thoughts about some of the places he was considering. Sadly, many of the places he considered served small wings, like they came from pigeons and not chickens. I suggested Clay's. I'd been there once before and had their wings, but he'd never had Clay's chicken wings. Parking here can be an extreme challenge. There are many very popular businesses that share the decent sized free parking lot, but I didn't have an issue finding an open space at around 3 pm on Saturday. We had skipped lunch and so we came here hungry. Not a very good idea to do that. We walked in, and one of the employees quickly came from behind the bar area toward the back of the restaurant, greeted us and told us that we could sit anywhere we wanted to sit. We chose a booth right next to the bar. Our server came to our table as we were settling in and told us that we could access the menu using the QR code that was on a placard on the table. It didn't take us very long to look at the menu and decide what we wanted, and, after a couple of minutes, our server came back to our table after R waved her over. We ordered a basket of tater tots; 15 wings: 10 lemon pepper and 5 garlic parmesan; and a small Little Italy pizza (which had sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, and extra cheese on it). While we waited, we watched replays of college footballs games from this past bowl games season showing on the many large monitors hanging on the walls. It wasn't busy inside, and customers were sitting at the bar engaged in sports discussions with the employees, with other customers sitting in some of the booths that were placed against the walls. in the middle of the restaurant area were tables, which can probably be pushed together to accommodate large groups. After about a 15 minute wait, our server brought a basket of tater tots. The generous portion of tots was piping hot. They were also nice and crunchy on the outside and light on the inside. Within the next two minutes, our server first brought us the wings, then the pizza. The wings were a little bigger than average and were fresh and hot. The lemon pepper flavor on the wings had a bold lemon and salt taste. The wings were slightly crispy on the outside, and the meat was definitely moist. Each of the wings had a very good amount of meat on them. The pizza was good: crispy crust great tasting meats, fresh mushrooms, and lots of cheese (mozzarella?). It came with some carrot and celery sticks, and we asked for blue cheese dressing to use as dips. Our very attentive server was great throughout our meal, and she checked on us periodically to see if we needed refills or anything else. The restaurant was very clean. The food ranged from good to great. The prices are great. Clay's Sport Cafe has a variety of items on the menus, including pizzas, sandwiches, salads, lots of different appetizers and basket meals. I feel our overall experience here was a 4.5, and I'm rounding it up to a 5!

Good Sports Bar Here, you'll get the standard offerings - wings, subs, apps, salads, dessert. Most of the menu items that I've tried, hit the spot. It's no frills, which is great when you just want to watch the game! The service is average, and good spacing between booths and tables. Parking can be tricky though, bc it's in a plaza with a few other eateries. At the end of the day though, I like Clay's because what you see is what you get. Sometimes, you want simplicity... No muss, no fuss. Clay's gets my vote.

Yes, yes, and yes. Wings, beer, and fries. What more is there to say?! A few outdoor tables are available and service was quick. We split 20 wings: 10 hot lemon pepper and 10 BBQ. The onion rings were awesome, and so were the Cajun fries. About $40 all in with no drinks. We left with leftovers so go hungry!

This is one of our favorites for a quick meal! Service is always great and you get a lot of food for the price. The wings and Philly cheesesteak are our favorites.

My favorite place in Atlanta period! They only place where "you can have your cake and eat it too!" I know it's sacrilege to start with pizza but Clays Buffalo chicken pizza will change your life . My favorite is: Medium size Medium heat (hot at most places) Light cheese Well done Look at photos- you can thank me later The people and service is great.

My favorites wings in Atlanta. Very affordable, large wing size (bigger than BWW), and very generous with the fries serving. I'd recommend the buffalo basket and try the hot lemon pepper wings. Perfect combo of dry rub and sauce with these. Love this place. Must try.

Dined at Clay's on a busy Friday night. Getting seated is a bit chaotic...it's kind of the honor system of "who was next." Of course, the party next to us thought they had been there first (they had not), and got seated before us. I ordered a canned drink, and was told that, because they were busy and short on glasses, I would not be able to get a glass for my drink (WTH?). One member of our party ordered soup, and it was served 1/2 way through the entree (after he told them never mind since it didn't come out as an appetizer). However, food was excellent...wings and pizza are some of the best we've had. I'll definitely give Clay's another try...maybe on a less busy night.

Best wings in Atlanta. Big portion, great service, good vibe. If you're in Atlanta and haven't been, you've got a problem
