J.R. Crickets

We stopped here on our way to Virginia, and we were so pleasantly surprised. We ordered the wings and ribs combo that had 10 wings and 3 ribs to split. We chose the “sweet hot” flavor for the wings. The wings were excellent. Being from Memphis, we know our ribs, and we thought the ribs were really good too. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed. Randy made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, and our waitress, Danny, was a sweetheart. When we are traveling in the area, we will be back.

My husband got food poisoning after eating a Philly here! My daughter & me both had diarrhea after getting the shrimp salad! Waitress had great customer service and drinks were strong but food the food wasn’t that good but w nothing else was open after church so we decided to try this place and never will be back!

Great great food, chef chefs well. The service not so good, 2 server bartenders take their sweet time. Uber door dash yes they cooked to order, but they are enjoy considerate in timing. A service skill. They are concerned with talking and serving bar drinks. Walk-in around two miles a minute. Get younger folks that move a little faster and with purpose. This is ridiculous. As a owner I would advise on this service

The Bartender on Tuesday evening was probably the worst that I’ve ever experienced . Attitude and appearance was a mess . Didnt listen to my order and was rude with eye rolling when I let her know that it was incorrect . I was craving JR crickets alll day prior and she made my experience overpriced trash. I won’t be back. Just stick to the other locations

Went to Jr Crickets, Panola rd and ordered a 10 piece meal. I asked for all flats, the bartender then proceeded to tell me that all flats were $4.50 more. Don’t get me wrong, your prices are your prices… but $4.50 for all flats is INSANE ! Last time they’ll get my money!

I would have been more pleased eating a soggy bowl of cereal then have eaten the burger I got from Jimmy cricket. The burger was smaller then the enormous bun that it was on. When I started to bite into the burger, I had to stop chewing to spit out the hard pieces of whatever it was, that was making the burger "griddy and crunchy".  The burger had no taste and it looked like it was cooked in the microwave. I was applaud by this over priced, poor quality nasty tasting burger. The meal came with fries and was what I ate because I was not going to continue eating that burger. What makes me more irritated is that I called ahead. Thinking when I get there I pick up my food , pay, then leave. But that is NOT this place. Even though I called in my order ahead, when I got there, it was not ready. The nice bartender informed me that they make the orders after you come in and pay. Then what was the point of taking my order over the phone! It took over 40 minutes to get my food., that was in addition to the time I had called ahead. They kept saying "your order is coming".  I just REALLY WISH , I knew that jimmy cricket made your order after you pay. And I wish someone would have told me, their burgers are nasty. I wasted my time and my money.  I will never be back there to eat.

Went here on a Sunday afternoon, bar was full and a few people sitting waiting on there to go order. The bartender was also the waitress and she did an amazing job with multitasking between her bar guest and dine in guests. I order a grilled tilapia sandwich with fries. It took less than 10 mins to receive my food. The sandwich was huge and the tilapia was seasoned well and far from bland. My fries were hot and crispy and sprinkled with some season salt. My daughter ordered wings and fries and she ate all her food so apparently hers was delicious too. Overall the Food was on point and so was the service. Only complaint I have is the price for SODA ranges between $3.50 and 4.00. That’s an extremely high price point for a soda beverage at a bar establishment. Definitely would go back and eat here again!

Great food, great ambience, management and crew team are nice and friendly. I will be returning. BTW, I ordered a drink and side dish that was not on the menu, but I requested it be made a certain way and they delivered! Thank you 💕

The food was good. I was very happy with the food. The staff was so nice. If I could base the review on those things it would 5 stars... The Ambiance of this place was rough. The music was so loud I couldn't think. Then some customers were out of control yelling at the staff. Also the food was so way over priced for no reason. It was good but not that good. It was too wild in there to enjoy anything. And I wouldn't do carry out cause it's too over priced.

Food is consistently made well. Service friendly. It's a sports bar. Good vibes. I recommend.

I probably stick out like a sore thumb with my 5 star review but, it is what it is. I came here on the way from work to grab wings for the P-Valley premiere; wings seemed fitting for the show. Lol We'll, I was promptly greeted and asked if I need a menu by a gentleman at the door. After establishing what I wanted to order Kalissa took my order and made me a dang good Hennessy Margarita to drink while I waited for my order. The drink was delicious and effective. Lol. I had a great conversation with another patron at the bar and actually didn't want to leave when my food came. I can't account for the negative reviews. I just know to come earlier in the afternoon for the same service and experience received today.

First time here at this location and I enjoyed myself. Cool vibe, fast service, and great food ! Will return in the bear future

Jada was our server. She was great. The food was amazing. You got to try the fried shrimp and lemon pepper wings. Drinks mixed to perfection! Definitely a repeat visit!!! I was skeptical because of the reviews but I came on this Sunday afternoon around 6pm and everything was good. After talking to the server I discovered they are under new management so maybe that why the previous reviews were bad. But I have nothing bad to say. I will be back. Thank you! God Bless.

My favorite flavor wings are dirty bird. Love this place no matter what people say. Don't have to ask for fried hard. They get it

Absolutely disgusting, Never ever will go back again!! I visited the location on Juniper in Atlanta absolutely amazing! This was a terrible experience!!! Customer service absolutely incompetent and unacceptable! Don't waste your time and money!!!

Last night was my last time visiting this location for good . There was a large water bug or roach crawling up the wall and over customers on the ceiling. I noticed the young woman behind the bar keeping track of where it was moving to but NOT ONCE did any of the WORKERS of this establishment have the customers that are beneath where this bug was crawling to move to the other side. That is what bothered me more than anything. Had i seen it before i ordered, I would have left. But even after informing the man I'm assuming was the manager of the bug and how he should advise all customers in the area to move, he NEVER spoke to those customers. That's extremely careless. So as of now, I'm extremely disgusted with this establishment.

If you're ordering off Uber eats or doordash.... DONT. $6 for all flats is OUTRAGEOUS. They refused to do half and half even tho there isn't an option on the app. By the time we got the wings, they were soggy and it tasted like the oil was old. Hopefully dining in person is better, but I can tell by the other reviews it probably isn't.

This is my tab without getting Fiji water. Drink also wasn't that strong at all. Server was nice but it's not worth the price. $14 drink was small but it's the water that got me

Great service waitress nice manager on duty nice also better than the spice house ‍yes

Of course I try to give people the benefit of the doubt but damn! Lol it never fails! So I unprofessional the shit is sad! I don't think I've ever had to specify on wanting REGULAR COOKED FOOD! I ordered a 70 piece half and half nothing extra! Mind you I've come here plenty times before and never had to specify. Nor did the server ask. When I get my food they are extra crispy might as well burnt. I call in to see what could be done to fix it. The server is nice at first oh I'm sorry let me check your order, her first thing was oh that's somebody else order because extra crispy isn't on your receipt, she goes to speak to the manager then everything change! lol she immediately blames me I should've told them not to burn my food blah blah. Horrible customer service! It's so many other wing places before coming here! Believe the reviews! Save your money This shit was trash! Won't return ! The 1 star is for CECE she's great!

I've come to this location several times, and not once has placing an order over the phone gotten me my food faster than just ordering in person. There are other JR Crickets locations that are better, and potentially deserve your business more than this location. Their prices have also increased (possibly due to the national shortage of chicken wings) to a point where a 30 piece wings with 2 flavors cost me $42.50 with tax. The waitress who brought out my food just placed it on the table and told me to just "check it out." Overall, I don't think I'll be returning to this location unless every other location closes.

We came here spur of the moment because a lot of places were closed. Apparently this place was supposed to be an Atlanta staple for wings but I was not here for my food. The flavors of wings are kind of bizarre in my opinion (I never knew anyone to mix lemon Peppe and teriyaki but okay lol). The wings were literally just okay. I wasn't a fan of my sauces either so that's why I can't say anything great about this place. The fries were like regular frozen fries. Our waitress was kind of rude and not very attentive. The best I could say was my Long Island Georgia peace was good and it was a nice little late night eat out spot if you wanted to meet some friends. It that's it for me.

Stopped in with a couple of friends to have lunch, wings actually. I had visited here only a few weeks ago, this time it felt like higway robbery! I was told by the server that the special for wings were fifty cents each. The bill for three ten piece wings were over SIXTY DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kneedless to say we were all in total udder shock!! Unbelievable. There was an extra cost if you wanted flavored wings and not a naked wings. It would have been nice to know that ahead of time instead of misleading people The wings came out so dry tiny and tight. I ordered honey garlic wings. I will never go down this road again only to feel like "I got robbed on the highway a long way from home" The service, the receipt says SHE SHE, wasn't spectacular at all, I can't accuse her of being friendly at all, as a matter of fact she was very blunt. I guess she doesn't have to be friendly because her tip is already precalculated on the receipt for your convience. I love wings, however today was a big disappointment.

Awful, atrocious old ass grease. No crowd and still took 45 minutes for service. OMG Salty overcooked food

I've come here a few times and although had minor hiccups in service, never thought to leave a review until last night. I arrived with some friends and it was the usual wait time of getting seated, which was fine I was hungry. My friends ordered two salads, one with Salmon and the other buffalo shrimp (which didn't come out correctly). I ordered wings and shrimp. It took over an hour to get our food...but mind you we never complained, was just happy to finally be eating. We're asking the waitress for dips and sauces (ranch) and she tells me the ranch is going to cost extra. I said "What do you mean? We just waited over an hour for some salads and you can't comp ranch? Let me talk to the manager." The manager, Craig, comes over and is extremely rude and condescending - refusing to hear or understand what I'm saying due to "policy" - everyone knows you don't cook poultry and seafood together BUT our ordered had to be pushed back an hour due to it? Clearly you need another grill then...I end our exchange with "fine just add it [I think we're talking $2] to the bill". Bill comes out...no ranch but they charged for buffalo sauce which was supposed to already be included with the salad. I paid the bill and left - save yourself the time and go somewhere else.

NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN SO DISRESPECTED ! WORST customer service ever! The old lady (not sure if she is the manger) was rude and unprofessional from the moment I called in my order..... long story short the worker over charged us, then wanted to re charge us. Advised her to void everything, words were exchanged and we left! I would starve to death before I ever step foot in the place again! Worse!

This is the worst jr cricket location in Atlanta. They are over priced for everything. If you compare three prices to another jr crickets location in Atlanta you'll see there prices are ridiculous. My boyfriend and I ordered teriyaki wings and hot wings. They charged me 2$for all flats. Then my boyfriend got a house salad and it comes with cheese and your choice of dressing. Well they charged me extra for the cheese and for dressing. I will never be coming back.

Not busy at all, ordered food 30 mins prior and food still was not ready when I got there. When I called they told me it would be ready in 15mins. When I arrive they suddenly had a 50 piece and 100 piece ahead of me which caused my order to get backed up. Over 45 mins for a togo order. Order was still missing items when I received it which they had to fix so i had to wait even longer.

I don't get the hype. The wings are tiny and over cooked. The sauce is all salt. The service was decent and the quality was not my bartenders fault. The area is a little rough at night. They do have security, but the place does not really give off that safe and open to everyone vibe. Just go to Taco Mac.

Bad customer service long wait time and the chef was horribly rude yelling at servers

This place is usually hit or miss. It's almost a last resort for wings on a late night (kitchen closes @1 AM) but the lemon pepper shrimp are usually pretty good. They don't start cooking your order until you arrive on-site so there's almost no point in calling it in and sometimes the staff are friendly, sometimes they aren't. Depending on the day, if you come at night expect the parking lot to be pretty packed considering they share a lot with The Cigar Bar and Spice House Restaurant & Lounge, which are pretty popular establishments as well.

Usually a place I like to go for late night hunger, although sometimes they may tell you their kitchen is closed or may not answer the phone. Overall, they have good service and great food but a tad pricey. Moreover, the inside is pretty small but they have good music and a good place to go to watch a game.

We knew better.... But it was close! Newcomers: RUN! The fastest dine in experience ever! Hard to check out....... We literally had to run down a waitress/bartender to cash out. Way to me young people traveling in and out. Waitress with long weave has a major attitude problem. (Sad Face)

The whole ordering process was a mess. I repeated my order several times and it was still incorrect. I ordered three different flavors, they all tasted the same. I ordered extra ranch and blue cheese and didn't receive it. When I walked in I wasnt even sure who worked there because they were sitting at the tables eating and trying to greet the guests at the same time. Fries were ok. Wings were flavorless. Will not be returning

Honestly disgusted at the price of 15$ for 5 mediocre wings and 1 waffle. Dont fall for it.

JR Crickets is my spot ! It's my go to for wings (my usual is honey hot with lemon pepper sprinkles), my go to for the shrimp platter (my usual is also honey hot with lemon pepper sprinkles). I finally decided to step out and try something new so I decided to get the steak and cheese philly & I was HIGHLY disappointed ! It was sooooo salty , I couldn't even finish it with the first bite I took into it ! The chef was trying to take me out for sure , he need to relax on the overly seasoning of the philly if that's how he normally makes it because that is unbelievable ! I still love this place but I will NEVER order another philly from here which is why it gets 4 stars !

This place is a good spot for a quick drink. We went here a few months ago, and enjoyed it. Parking is very tight, because of all the other businesses sharing the parking lot. The waitresses were very nice and went out their way to help us. Our wing were under cooked tho... Outside of that it was decent.

Oh my got dam they OVER charge for everything 2$ for my 10 pc to be all drums 75 cents for my wings to be wet another 59 cents for my wings to be hot with lemon pepper sprinkles 69 cent plus 1.16 for small cups of ranch and I had water to drink !!! Ridiculous shit

After driving four hours a local friend suggested stopping to get wings from JR's. We were greeted by every employee in the spot and our to-go order was taken and we waited about 25 minutes for our food. I ordered 10 of the sweet hot wings grilled. They meal come with fries, the fries were basic crinkle cut fries that weren't that exciting but my wings were really good. I was glad to have the option to have them grilled and am glad that how I got them. Since I didn't love the fries I ate all of my wings and dipped them in ranch. It was a decent meal.

Sweet Honey wings! The servers were nice. We ordered togo. They offer the Brown Boys Lemonade which was great. We had heard sooo much about their beverage and were thrilled to be able to try it while we were in Atlanta. You have to try their lemonade, ITS THE BEST!

Disgusting customer service. The woman who took my order called me a liar several times instead of correcting the order. The cook was outside smoking cigarettes All around horrible time

First of all, J.R. Crickets is my absolute favorite wing spot in Atlanta, hands down! On a typical work day, I needed lunch, and I needed it delivered to me quickly. With a few lackluster options, I decided to give the UberEATS app another chance for a delivery at my location. To my overwhelming surprise, this beauty popped up. Marred by suspicion and disbelief, I ordered hesitantly because this was too good to be true!! Within 45 minutes, my UberEATS driver was at the curb with my freshly prepared order!! I was very satisfied with my medium wings with lemon pepper sprinkles! What a treat!!

So this was a really disappointing visit I am sad to say. The staff was super friendly and they tried really hard, but there weren't enough people there and the atmosphere as well as the food were pretty average. The prices for the specialty drinks were reasonable, but the quality was also sort of low. We both got chicken wings which is the dish that we tend to enjoy the sports bar, but their wings are very small. The flavor however is quite good and I appreciate the effort this effort into making the variety that we asked for. This is a location that is fairly convenient for us, so we might consider going back, but there are several other places nearby that provide better quality for about the same or a lower price.

Horrible! They time is incorrect on google and yelp and the first thing you're approached with is "we only doing wings" an hour before they close. Waiting on wings for over 40 mins isn't worth it especially when their not busy.

I called in my order at 12:58 for a chicken quesadilla $9.94. The person on the phone was talking to someone else. Then she asked did I want it fried or grilled. Excuse me? Okay grilled. I have to wait for 33 minutes because they waited until I got there to cook it. I waited just to get a warm grease chicken quesadilla and I'm not sure was it fried or grilled. So very, very, very disappointed. I have to say that I had a chicken quesadilla many times before but cook or management must have changed. I'm done.

I gave the establishment 1 star due to the unprofessional young lady who just answered my phone call. My friend placed an order for me through Uber eats and I called to make sure that I would get the right condiments. Needless to say the young lady was RUDE and kept laughing with someone in the background as if I was speaking another language. Maybe she snuck a few drinks idk! For example, i asked if they had ranch (they could've been out) and she proceeds to say," Well we sell wings so of course we got ranch." Then laughs in the phone. I asked because i ordered wings with my order and i don't like blue cheese. And then she wanted to charge me extra AFTER I ORDERED WINGS! That was just one example. I told my friend to cancel the order and I will not be going to eat there ever. Sorry that girl ruined it for me and it only takes one time.

I was very disappointed... being that this supposed to be a legendary wing spot in the ATL. We ordered a 50 piece lemon pepper. The wings were fried extra hard and the wings were extremely dry and crunchy. My Family members was unhappy also and we did not enjoy the wings. I will not patronize J.R. Crickets and will not refer to my enemy. Please do better! Not sorry for keeping it real!

Now I remember why I don't come here. It ain't nothing special about it. Can't split the sauce on a 10 piece, there are no set prices on the drinks "round about 10 or round about 12" is what she said. And who charges for ranch and blue cheese with Hot Wings? As far as the server...you want to get a less than favorable review from me? Send me a waitress who treats me like we familiar and cool. Don't do that? I need you to act like I still need to be serviced, not like I can walk back there and get it myself. It feels like that Tostitos commercial where they were serving chips and dip in that couples apartment.

Horrible customer service. The lady on the A.M shift never speaks to you when you come in. She just sits there reading her book. They definitely need new people in the building.

Horrible. Horrible horrible. They are the worst no DJ. No music. Only 2 tiny tv's the main screen is broken & has been broken &!its a playoff Falcons game. Waited 45 minutes for food. & it was wrong order !!! Horrible DO NOT COME HERE. Go anywhere but here. Omg and they tried to charge me when they didn't have any beer and no jäger !! Wtf. The waitress brought me a bill. OMG.

This place is awful! DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE! I placed a call in order. Was told it would be 15 minutes. I arrived at the Resturant 30 min. later my food was not done. I was charged for my wing flavors which was not specified on the menu anywhere! I was at the resturant an additional 30 min. before my food came out. Other customers who had ordered while I was there waiting got their food before me and they had wing pans. The food was not good. I have been to two other locations in Atlanta and this one is the worst! Spent over 50.00 for crappy food and even crappier service. Would give them zero stars if I could.

Wings were not good! Jr crickets is suppose to be the goat and this location needs to do better!

This place is terrible. They gave me the wrong order and won't replace it. The owner is disrespectful and doesn't deserve any business. I would not recommend!!!

My wings were perfect thanks for exceptional service !! I bought a 30 piece for my family and the wings were cooked perfect.., I will be back

This is my favorite location! I know that people may have had poor experiences here based on their expectations but I Stan for this particular location! The food is always fresh, good, and the staff is friendly.

The worst service ever!We waited an hour for our food. When asked what's going on the manager (who was completely dense) told us there's a lot of orders.Bullcrap!We watched people come in and order and walk out with food.Ms. Dummy who claims she was the manager failed to put our order in.I've heard this place sucked, and now I know first hand that it does.I will never go there again! How bad do you really want wings?Not worth the crappy service not wait.

I ordered off door dash Tuesday May 5th. And y'all forgot to give me the ranch and blue cheese I paid for.. however.. The wings were sooo good but they would've been bomb if I had y'all Ranch dressing but thank God I had ranch in the fridge
