J.R. Crickets

Cramped. Dirty. A very unpleasant experience. This was my first time eating at J.R. Crickets and it will definitely be my last. There only seemed to be one employee actually doing his job and attending to patrons. I observed the remainder of the others lounging around their stations or flirting with customers. I thought I had made a clean break once I left, that was until I opened up my take-home container and bit into my food. There was a piece of mystery plastic in my food. Unsure of where it came from or how it ended up there, I promptly threw the rest of my food away. I will be sure to steer clear of this chain and tell my friends to do the same.

I had my 1st experience there yesterday. I had wings, which were pretty good by the way. I also ordered a featured drink on their menu. The bartender didn't know how to make it and the drink I received wasn't what I ordered. The atmosphere was very inviting though.

Had to be the slowest restaurant in Atlanta....they cook each order one by one and said they couldn't refund my money when I wanted to cancel my order. So make sure you like what you order and don't have anywhere to be or no care for any level of customer service....and whatever you do don't order the chicken and waffles. Will never Order from or refer anyone to this place. Too many other good spots to eat in Atlanta to waste your time here.

This location has terrible customer service. When you walk in, expect to wait several minutes for acknowledgement, and then expect attitude. The staff could care less about customers and seem more interested in closing down the restaurant. All wings are pre-cooked/fried and then refried when you order. This spot does not deserve your time or money. It is also full of sketchy people. Shooting here less than 6 months ago

The staff isnt really personable. The cashier looks like she hates her life and the owner doesnt come off as friendly. The food is either a hit or a miss and sometimes the wings taste like old grease. I have never been to a wing spot where ranch or blue cheese does not come with wings or fries but it comes with the meal if you get celery.

So I have not been at this location for about a year but the wings had great flavor! A bit small for my liking but overall great wings. I also got a great drink to go along with my wings. A good place to kick back with friends and an overall a good experience.

I ordered food from them and was told that it would be a 80 minute wait for delivery. I said that would be fine, placed my order and when it got here, it was missing some food. I called the business back and told them about the mistake and they said that it would be send the delivery driver right back to send the rest of my order. HE NEVER RETURNED. So I paid for food i never received.

The fish was amazing, but the ribs were tough and definitely NOT "fall-off-the-bone" though they did have good flavor. I wasn't a big fan of the lemon pepper wings, but they weren't bad ~ a little over-cooked. We had a big party of about ten people, but the staff was courteous and prompt. Though I certainly wouldn't plan my weekend around JR Crickets, it was still a treat to try this Atlanta institution. I was a bit disturbed by the homeless people sleeping near the building (across the parking lot) and the one glassy-eyed homeless guy (who seemed to be high on something) walking up to us and starting an annoying conversation about a t-shirt someone was wearing. He just wouldn't leave us alone. This was at the front door of the restaurant as we were walking out and getting into our vehicles.
