The Wing Boss ALMEDA

"After 24 to 48 hours of marinating, these crispy (or not battered — diner’s call) wings come up and get covered with whatever sauce suits. Options include zesty honey garlic, garlic parmesan, Cajun dry rub, hot lemon pepper, mango habanero, and more. There’s the option to pair wings with catfish bites, and this spot offers vegan cauliflower wings too." - Courtney E. Smith, Brittany Britto Garley, Megha McSwain

"The Wing Boss, a chicken wing joint, is known for its “breaded” fried chicken wings that can be served plain or coated in one of 13 different sauces. Whether you get wings dunked in a sticky hot honey sauce or dusted with a Cajun dry rub, the chicken is generously seasoned and the skin still crackles enough to put potato chips to shame. Wing combos come with a Hawaiian roll and crispy golden french fries, and you should get a side of fried okra (which can also be tossed in one of the 13 sauces). Sit at the bar and down a house cocktail next to some devoted regulars, or snuggle into a booth where it'll just be you and your wings (and maybe some boudin egg rolls, too)." - Gianni Greene, Chelsea Thomas
