J.R. Crickets MLK Westside - Review - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"The parking on MLK between Lowery and Paschal boulevards is so scarce we had to circle the block to find a spot near this Crickets. Once we got in, though, we found a downstairs dining room with a wall of seating, an open-air patio upstairs, and a kitchen doing all kinds of wondrous things with a deep fryer. This won’t be your game-day spot (iPad-sized TVs ain’t cuttin’ it), but if you happen upon a parking spot, the fried fish, Dirty Bird wings, and red velvet slices from Scratch Batch Cakes make for a decent meal every other day. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

Good fresh, made to order shrimp & fish I ordered as well as the mozzarella sticks. 10/10, the quality of the food was top tier. The amount of food given for the price was definitely worth it as well.

Definitely enjoyed the lemon pepper wings here. Of course I've heard about how famous they are and so I went to try. They didn't disappoint. My only knock is on the setup. The upstairs, downstairs, outdoor thing is weird (to me) and leads to staff bringing the food upstairs and downstairs. Not to mention the same lady that took my order at the register was who brought up my food (and who got me lemon for my water...I left her a nice tip though). Not an ideal arrangement. There's also no dedicated parking so you're just left to the street. This can be fine but it can be scant as well.

Ordered 10 wings - half hot, half lemon pepper ("dry") - and fries. All around, got to say it was really good for the price. Lemon pepper were really crispy and had strong flavor. The hot were still pretty crispy even with the sauce and they had a good kick to them while still being pretty mild on heat. I also got a bonus 11th wing in my box, so you know they're generous. The surprise of the meal were the fries, which didn't look like much in the box, but they were delicious. I definitely recommend this place if you've got a craving for wings.

I would've gave this location 5 stars however there was a discrepancy in my order. My boyfriend and I just flew back into town and had a JR Cricket on our mind to eat before heading back home. The gentleman who took my order was nice and helpful. However, the female that was taking over when the male went upstairs was not so helpful. I ordered my wing flavors split, but noticed that they both were the same. I then informed the female and her reply was, " I can give you one of the flavors so it can overpower the current flavor." I didn't understand how that made sense.... it still would be a mixture of something I didn't want. Instead, of making a scene about the reply and mishap with my food I just ate the fries and left. I will attempt to fix them at home (South Carolina) which I shouldn't have to do. Good service is good for business. I will get my wings dry the next time I'm sure that won't be too hard to mess up! 💁🏽‍♀️
