The Wing Boss ALMEDA

Tried this spot for the first time and was genuinely impressed. From the moment we walked in, the woman at the front made us feel right at home she was warm, kind, and had great energy. The place was a little quiet when we arrived, but the bar started filling up not long after. We ordered wings and were blown away. I had the hot lemon pepper, and my boyfriend got the garlic parmesan and zesty honey garlic. Every flavor hit. The wings weren’t massive, but you’ll definitely get lost in the sauce...and that’s not a bad thing. We also tried the boudin egg rolls, which were flavorful and well-cooked. Everything came out fresh, hot, and beautifully plated. Right now, this is my top-wing spot in the city. Until something better comes along (which will be tough), this place is in our regular rotation. Bonus: the drink menu looks solid, and they’ve got a happy hour worth checking out.

It will be very difficult to find a better-tasting, more balanced wing in Houston. I ordered the breaded zesty honey garlic and mango habanero wings and I'll say this: It was crunchy enough to notice the crunch but not too crunchy, saucy enough to enjoy the flavor but not too saucy, larger than the average wing but not super huge, spicy enough to notice but it's not too spicy to where it messes with your GI tract, visually appealing.....it was arguably one of the best wings I've ever had to honest. The price was reasonable, the service was excellent, I really appreciated how the music wasn't blasting to where it blew out my eardrums (I could actually hear myself think), I have absolutely NO COMPLAINTS!!! If anything, the fries and the roll weren't anything special. I wish I would've came during happy hour because their specials/prices looked promising. $7 drinks from 4-7pm if I'm not mistaken. I'd definitely swing by again if I'm in the area.

Whenever I’m in downtown Houston, this is a staple eatery for me. Been there a couple of times, usually after an event, and it’s always so damn packed. Still, they’re providing speedy services (considering). On average, the wait had been about an hour from the time we entered, order and got our food order; however, the food is worth the wait!! And, considering those times had been after events, the 1-hour wait wasn’t bad. This last time, we went before the event, and it was so quick, we were in and out within the hour!

Ordered from here on door dash. The wings were very good and I look forward to ordering their wings again. The dirty rice, however lacked seasoning and was gummy. Do not order the dirty rice but the wings are good to go.

Fresh, tender and flavorful! I am a boneless (chicken tender) fan. It’s so nice that at Wing Boss there is way more chicken than breading! The chicken is moist and tender as well but the crust still has a nice crunch. All of the sauces I had were great and not overly salty. My only complaint is that I think the ranch and blue cheese are the mainstream brands in the grocery store. Otherwise it’s an awesome, flavorful, clean, and friendly place! Kim at the front was very kind and sweet!

Customer Service was great. However, the music was a little loud for my liking. The layout was great, and I loved the mural on the wall. The wings were okay, I gave them a 3.5 out of 5. I am from the South, so I have had many great tasting wings. You also will only receive 1 Ranch for 12 wings. Sorry no pictures of the food, we got it to go.

I came here to bring my Girlfriend for her bday. She loves wings and we wanted to do something different. The wings and boudain egg rolls. We're amazing and crispy and full of so much flavor. We will be back soon to try more !

I’ve been wantin to try this place for a hot minute now and I finally made it on over. I walked in and was politely greeted by a friendly young lady at the register. She answered all my questions with a smile and even made a few suggestions. I ordered the 12 piece wings, 6 lemon pepper and 6 zesty honey garlic. The wings were easily a 10 out of 10. The texture was absolutely perfect. Nice and crispy skin, while still maintaining a very juicy and tender piece of chicken. The size was larger than most of the other wing spot in this area. The flavor was definitely was set them apart from other restaurants. Both flavors were incredible!!! They were so good, i didn’t even need ranch. Speaking of ranch…….that’s the only bad thing I could possibly say about this place. It definitely wasn’t homemade. It wasn’t bad at all; just not the typical ranch I prefer. I highly recommend stopping by and trying their amazing wings and creative flavor combinations for yourself.

The best ((wangs)) I had in a long time! Seasoned, fried and tossed in a zesty honey garlic wet sauce. I wasn't expecting the flavors to come together and still have lite crunch. Very clean restroom. Roughly around 1:30pm but no wait and food comes out pretty quick. Everything I had was good. I would say kinda expensive but everything is going up now days. Ms.Shanay at the counter gave me all the deets on the popular menu items, so I'll be back. Especially because I had a non alcohol drink.

Wanted to like this place more because it's a small business, I try to support small business as much as I can. Wings took 30+ minutes to get to us. I wouldn't have complained as much if the wings were hot; but they came out lukewarm. I wouldn't say these wings are the best in Houston like other people have been claiming. Would have liked them to be a little crispier/hotter when served. Maybe it was a fluke? Try it out for yourself and you be the judge.

Even while out of town I like to support small businesses, so we stopped by The Wing Boss for dinner. Upon arrival the place was full of people but there was plenty of room to sit and dine in. The young lady that took our order was friendly and brought our food to us when it was ready. The ambiance was very lively with music playing and everyone just seemed to be having a good time. We ordered a 24 pc wings ( Mango Habanero, Bbq, Hot Lemon Pepper) and fries. The wings all had an amazing flavor and the french fries were both fresh and well seasoned. Everyone left happy and with full bellies. Great Spot!

Found hair in my food. French fries came out cold but the wings were hot. I will not go back.

Came here for dinner and they appeared to be super busy from to go orders. We opted to dine in and the wait time was ridiculous for our food. We waited well over 30 minutes, almost an hour just for our food to come out. The amount of people dining in wasn't that busy, but seemed like everyone was having to wait for their food. The flavor of the wings and the fries were delicious, so I had to give the rating 3 stars. Otherwise, I would not recommend coming during meal times, unless you want to wait.

've been wantin to try this place for a hot minute now and I finally made it on over. I walked in and was politely greeted by a friendly young lady at the register. She answered all my questions with a smile and even made a few suggestions. I really love the way the inside is decorated. Plenty of seating available and TVs on the wall for entertainment. I ordered the 12 piece wings, 6 lemon pepper and 6 zesty honey garlic. The wings were easily a 10 out of 10. The texture was absolutely perfect. Nice and crispy skin, while still maintaining a very juicy and tender piece of chicken. The size was larger than most of the other wing spot in this area. The flavor was definitely was set them apart from other restaurants. Both flavors were incredible!!! They were so good, i didn't even need ranch. Speaking of ranch.......that's the only bad thing I could possibly say about this place. It definitely wasn't homemade. It wasn't bad at all; just not the typical ranch I prefer. I highly recommend stopping by and trying their amazing wings and creative flavor combinations for yourself.

Bridget and Jazz met us at the door with the upmost respect and hospitality. Walking in I immediately felt like I just pulled up to auntie house for some wings. The music sets the vibe immediately. The cleanliness to the lighting supports a high frequency vibe that will turn a rainy day into one of the most memorable Houston nights. Definitely will be returning 100%

The Garlic Parmesan is the best I've ever had. The homemade lemonade is in a league of its own.

When it comes to wings in the Med Center, there aren't many places that will do them better than The Wing Boss. They're a black-owned business specializing in wings with a little Cajun flair. While they might get pegged as a perpetual takeout/delivery spot, they have so much to offer as dine-in establishment. For starters, they have ample seating, TVs for days (aka a straight up sports bar), and a full bar. The friendly service, solid parking situation, and even clean bathrooms makes this a bonafide happy hour destination for residents / workers in the neighborhood and/or casual sports evening with some comfort food. The bone-in wings are a staple here. About 12 of the wings comes in at a cool $18.95, which comes with 3 "Boss" sauces and a couple of Hawaiian rolls. For an extra $1.50 charge, one can make it all flats / drums. The wings are juicy and weren't overcooked, which is tough to do. They also offer boneless which are $2-3 cheaper per bundle and there is also vegan cauliflower wings that aren't always available. They have a impressive array of sauces from zesty honey garlic to garlic parmesan to mango habanero. Their hot honey and hot lemon pepper are popular but there's also classic choices like mayo, ranch, and blue cheese. Each sauce is a $1 extra if it doesn't already come with a combo. Their non-wing offerings are interesting to me, especially since they lean into their Cajun side. It goes beyond the Cajun fries, but their fried okra, dirty rice, catfish "bites", and their boudin egg rolls. I wasn't terribly impressed with their loaded boss fries ($15) or their fried shrimp, but I did enjoy the boudin egg rolls ($11 for 3), and was super impressed with the catfish bites. They were perfectly fried, with nice hunks of catfish meat with just enough breading to hold it all together. Practically *everything* had some serious seasoning to it with a hint of spice in every bite. I only know of another location in Cypress, but I'm quite satisfied with this inner loop location. I was told it can be busy throughout the week and after tasting the food and seeing their ambiance, I can 100% see why.

Came here based off of a recommendation of a friend. It was about 8 of us, and we were quickly seated and served. To say that it was 8 of us, the service was extremely fast and the food came out very hot. Before the last person was done ordering, they were already bringing out the first person's food. It's a pretty chill ambience. Not far from Texas Southern University, large parking lot, great for after a game or to watch a game. It has a sports bar feel. I ordered the hot honey catfish sliders & the 6 piece lemon pepper wings. A friend of mine got the hot honey wings. WOW! they were absolutely delicious. The lemon pepper wings were OK, the catfish sliders were definitely a hit. They had just the right amount of honey and you could tell it's a homemade sauce. Really delicious! Giving them 5 stars for the fresh food & great customer service!

The wings are really good. Good flavor and crispy. The dirty rice was really good. Friendly waiter/cashier. Good prices. Full bar and daily hour hour specials. I'll definitely be back. The inside was clean. Music was jammin. It's a chill laidback vibe and I will be back to try more wing flavors.

Late night dinner time. Ordered through Uber Eats, and was feeling some wings. I ordered 6 breaded mild lemon pepper wings, and 10 catfish bites. Service was quick and my food was still hot. This made me happy. The catfish bites were delicious! They came with a small container of tartar sauce (I really needed two). The wings although mild, were still too spicy for me. They also came with a small container of ranch. Not sure of the ambiance, but the website photos seem like a nice casual spot. Definitely a spot I'll try again! The catfish was really good to me.

The wings were just okay, I got the Mild Hot Lemon Pepper breaded wings. The service here was pretty amazing though! Both girls in the front were so nice and even let us try the "LemoTea" drink that they make in house and it was soo good! Overall I would maybe come again to try another flavor and get them regular fried instead.

From the moment we walked in it was a good experience. My boyfriend was visiting from Maryland and he loves wings and wanted to support a black owned business. The hostess/cashier was friendly and explained the menu throughly. She had great customer service. We received our food fast and he rated the wings a 8/10 and he loves wings! We will probably go back tomorrow before he returns home Sunday. Great experience, great food. The only thing I would change is the size of the side item. It would be nice if it were a lot bigger but other than that we will absolutely be back.

Super quick service, they also did some recommendations! The wings and fries were so good, had to double back! Decently sized establishment, space to sit and enjoy!

Delicious we got the zesty honey garlic and hot lemon pepper breaded wings and an order of fries. Both were really good! Kim was extremely welcoming and accommodating. Ambiance was home like vibes and there were several friendly regulars there. Definitely recommend this place if you want some fresh hot tasty wings.

FANTASTIC! They have breaded wings which is why I went and boy they did not disappoint!! I've been a Wingstop girl but this changed my mind. When I want wings, I think of Wing Boss now. Their Cajun fries are perfectly seasoned, the zesty honey garlic is delicious!! The servers are attentive, friendly, and helpful, especially at your first visit and don't know what to choose. They have a bar and big tvs for sports. It's small but clean. Highly recommend!

Short and sweet: - Some of the best wings I've had. I usually get the zesty honey garlic wings. - Nice, low key spot to watch a game. - Their daiquiris are okay, a bit too sweet, but still good. - Decent service, and the crew is cool.

Ordered takeout from here after working late this week. Upon other reviews' recommendation, called in my order since I read that they can take a while to cook. I came right at the 15-minute mark and the wings were on the way out from the kitchen. The restaurant was pretty empty on a Tuesday night but looked like a lot of people like me were doing takeout. The employee over the phone (who I believe was also the cashier) was sweet and made the ordering and pickup process simple. I ordered the 12 boneless wings + fries combo. At $20.95, price is a little steep compared to the competition. Without fries, you save $3. I will say that the boneless wings were BIG and meaty. The flavors I got were Zesty Honey Garlic, Garlic Parmesan, and Regular BBQ. The 12 piece comes with 2 Hawaiian rolls, whereas the 6 piece and 8 piece come with 1 Hawaiian roll. My favorite flavor was the Garlic Parmesan. It was savory and had just the right amount of garlic season. The cheese is your standard grocery store parm that was used as part of the seasoning. My least favorite was the Regular BBQ. I felt like the barbecue sauce was slightly bland and didn't have the sweetness you'd normally find in Sweet Baby Ray's. And in the middle, the Zesty Honey Garlic was good! Sweet and tangy, had a nice blend of flavors captured in a boneless wing. The rolls are just your standard premade Hawaiian rolls straight out of the box. I normally don't have rolls with my wings and honestly could've done away with these, but I suppose this may be how they justify the higher price point. The place knows the drill with takeout - they puncture a hole in the top of the foam boxes to keep the fried foods crispy. Pro detail that a lot of places miss and can definitely ruin the meal! Even with the punctured hole, the boneless wings weren't as crispy as I would've liked them -- not sure if it was due to being boxed up or if this is their normal crispness, but until I have a dine-in experience, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Overall this was a good new discovery for wings. Not sure if I'd go out of my way to come here since the narrow edge in wing quality compared to the competition is hard to justify for the price point. They do have a full bar with daily drink specials, so a good reason to visit. I'd recommend at least giving them a try if you find yourself in the Med Center / NRG area.

The service is great so I'll come back and try again at some point but I asked for extra crispy wings and was pretty let down, nothing crispy about them , they were chewy as a wing could be. The sauces were good but fries were mid so wasn't crazy about them .

We came here after a night of drinking to grab some wings. Cashier was friendly and we got 6 garlic Parmesan wings with fries and a water. It is a bit on the pricy side though. They had a dj inside playing music which was cool. The wings tasted good and were nice and hot. May try the spot again if I visit Houston in the near future

So I visited the one in Cypress, Super Bowl Weekend. The food was delicious, and the Boudin egg rolls were amazing! The Service was quick and friendly, order was ready as soon as I arrived! Would definitely recommend it!

This is hands down the best wings place in Houston! I tried 4 of their wings flavors and ALL of them were perfect. I can't say that about any other wing place in Houston, let that sink in a moment. I had their following flavors with fries and I will rank them in order of my favorites: 1. Hot Honey 2. Garlic Parmesan 3. Zesty Honey Garlic 4. Mango Habanero Next time I need to try their Lemon pepper and Cajun dry rub which I hear are all great as well. This place is so good that if it was a franchise I would buy one. I hope they open more locations cause this one is pretty far from me. I'm certain they could put wing stop and buffalo wild wings out of business. I highly recommend them.

I had driven past this place maybe a half dozen times before I gave it a try. I was craving wings that evening and tried to use Yelp to place an order. For whatever reason, this app would not process the order so I used Grubhub instead and it worked right away. Yelp may want to work on that. I placed my order and was happy to see my order would be ready in twenty minutes. I arrived twenty minutes later, and asked about my order, but it was not ready. The place was pretty busy, so I didn't mind waiting. After about another ten minutes, I could hear someone from the kitchen mention my name, grubhub, and that they had mixed up the order. About ten minutes later, I had my food. I will say that while I waited I was able to overhear that this is a family owned establishment. The wife was working the register and the husband was in the back running the kitchen. The inside was decorated with all things Houston sports. There were big TVs and while there was no beer on tap I saw, they did have a good selection of bottled beer. It made me think this would be a great place to watch a game and if you're a Houston sports fan, an even better place. I had ordered 12 wings with two different boss sauces - mango habanero and the hot honey. I forwent the side of fries for fried okra. The wings were massive and you could choose breaded or not. I went with breaded. They were perfectly cooked - crispy skin outside, moist meat on the inside. the mango habanero was no where near as Spicy as others but still very good. The hot honey was a perfect blend of sweet and spice. It was a unique spice for wings I had not tried before this place. The fried okra was excellent. Crispy fried outside with a nice pop and chewy, with a well seasoned batter. I enjoyed everything I ate and if the mix up had not occurred, it would have been a five star visit. I will be back to try more flavors! A must try for Houston wings.

Spent $15 on 8 wings. Price is high compared to average rates. I didn't get the woman with the dreads who took my order name but, she was a vibe with welcoming energy. Customer service was great. I ordered the garlic Parmesan and spicy lemon pepper wings. Garlic Parm was absolutely bussin. They had a distinct taste that I could tell the difference between eating garlic Parm from other wing spots if I was blind folded. 9/10. Spicy lemon pepper was beyond Salty and difficult to eat. I am a huge fan of this flavor itself but personally, I wouldn't order it again from this spot. 2/10. My sister ordered the barbecue wings and found a piece of hair in her meal after eating nearly half the plate. To accommodate we were offered the chance at them remaking the plate. Woman with dreads from the front apologized, was more than understanding, and offered a free brownie or drink. We felt more could've been done because it was insanitary.

The wings here are really crispy and the flavors are great. Great for pickup or dine in, I definitely think its one of the better pick up foods in the Medical Center.

I was visiting Houston this weekend and was looking for a quick meal before my flight. We took a chance on this place and we were not disappointed! I had their honey garlic wings and hot honey wings , so delicious. Very crisp, not over breaded and the flavors were popping. I also tried their boudin(sp) rolls! If you live in Houston please add this treasure to your list! Plus the service was top notch. I would definitely visit again if back in town.

We had a girl night out and I needed wings from somewhere near by. I googled this spot and it had a 4.9 review with 900 reviewers. Those are rare so I decided to give it a try. It's a good amount of parking. I was greeted upon entry. I had already ordered online so it was a quick interaction. My big wing order was correct and fresh. They gave an abundance of dip and ketchup at no extra charge so that was good. The lady at the counter mentioned they are known for their breaded wings. My full order was naked..so now I have to go back for breaded! All the sauces were on point!

First off let me start by saying the wings are on point but... the wings are small for the price.

I've got Garlic parmesan, Zesty honey garlic, hot honey Top quality wings and juicy great customer service very helpful and patient

These bone in wings was fire!! I went in one evening on a weekend so it took a little bit to get my food as there were other guest waiting. Inside they have a bar and plenty tvs so you can enjoy your wait with drinks and entertainment. Line was pretty consistent as I waited so I would call in if it was a to go order. It's tucked away in the corner of the plaza but if you miss it a quick u-turn will get yea back to the right spot. Bone in-Great. Boneless-lacked some seasoning and flavor.

I love their wings! I love their fried fish, their boudain egg rolls. Everything was really good. Especially lemon pepper wings

Visited this local place at the suggestion of a coworker. I got the lemon pepper Parmesan boneless wings. While they were a bit expensive for 6 wings (almost $11 for 6), I'd say it was well worth it. No lie, the best wings I've ever had. For real. Amazing. Go here just to try the lemon pepper Parmesan wings. I'm definitely going to be back for more.

The chicken wings are really good !!! The food is terribly overpriced especially for PARTY WINGS. I don't particularly care for the cheap ranch. They do big business so I was expecting a signature house ranch.

Okay boss! I enjoyed everything. I got an 8 piece with the half garlic parmesean and hot lemon pepper breaded. They write great sized wings and the sauces were tasty. I'm a very tried and true Buffalo girlie but I enjoyed the garlic parm but idk if I would get it again. Not because it wasn't tasty but it's just not my first choice. I also got the sliders which were nuggets with a pickle on Hawaiian sliders. I got the Cajun rub. I couldn't tell if it was the pickle or the rub but a little salty. Finally I got a side of dirty rice which was just a solid dirty rice. Not the best ever but good.

The ambiance is real chill. Dress code is casual, nice hip hop playing to set the mood. The wings are great. I'm boneless guy, but last time I went bone in. They did not disappoint. Their sauces aren't overpowering. And staff are polite, energetic, and engaging. Willing to answer any questions you may have. Wings are nicely tossed. Sauce is evenly covered.

The wings are soooo good here. We ordered lots of wings in a few different flavors and they were all good. We also ordered the Loaded Boss fries...so yummy had to order another try lol. The service was wonderful and will def be going back to try other flavors of wings.

Googled best wings near me and this place popped up first in the search with lots of great reviews. They weren't wrong! I ordered 12 bone-in wings with fries: 2 sauces: hot honey and garlic Parmesan The wings were hot, fresh and juicy. Flavors were super tasty and crinkle fries were well seasoned. We will definitely order from here again.

Grate wings. Vegan options..lots of drinks. Staff is friendly, and very knowledgeable and helpful.TV's and bar. Tables and booths. Windows have seats.high chairs. Music also.

I love love lovveeeee wings. Give me an excellent tasty wing, crunch, and crispiness, and you'll have me in a chokehold. Anytime I see a wing spot, I'm going to try it. This is the place if you like crispy fried wings and a chill spot with vibes. You walk in, and it's a party. They have music playing, and the TV shows sports. The young lady at the register was lovely; if I had questions, she had the answer. I ordered the 12-piece bone-in, which allows me to get three different sauces. I got Parmesan Lemon Pepper, Hot Honey & Zesty Honey Garlic. I also ordered the Boudin Egg Rolls; the chicken came with fries. You can get them breaded or naked. I got mine breaded; I love a good crunch and asked for them to be well done. It took about 15mins to get my food, which is okay for ordering to go at the counter. My favorite was the Zesty Honey Garlic and the Hot Honey. The skin was crispy, and the sauce was perfect. The chicken was moist and flavorful through and through. I did not like the Parmesan Lemon Pepper at all. The wet sauce was too salty, mixing with the salty lemon pepper seasoning. I couldn't eat them. The Boudin Creole Rolls were crispy on the outside and spicy on the inside. The rice seemed mushy and overcooked, and It was a little too cheesy for me, so I didn't eat the middle. I only ate the crispy ends with this delicious dipping sauce. I don't know what sauce it was, but baby, I kept returning to dip in the sauce. The dipping sauce made it taste good, but by itself, it was meh! I wouldn't order these again, but I would eat them off someone else's plate... just the ends, though, lol!! Overall I will return for my favorite wigs, and I want to try their other flavors. The wings were cooked to perfection for me. The taste of the ones I loved was sooooooo good, and that's why they got four stars.

Let me break this down 1. Overhyped 2. Overpriced 2 orders of the. 8-piece wing dinner, oven fries, and no drink $48.00 3. The Atmosphere a vibe tho 4. Wings were basic, flavors BASIC I will be sticking to wings stop BUT!!! This is slowly my opinion, go try for yourself

Nice sized wings and good portion of fries. The place is going to take a little time to make the wings, but they are better than a lot of the franchised wing places. Fried, have some crunch to them, and the sauce is on.

Wing Boss did live up there name. The wings was good and juicy and they had a good variety of flavors! The original Wing Boss is off of Almeda be on the look out for the knock offs. The best way to tell is to make sure the website has LLC behind the name and a blue and white wing symbol. Also check for recent reviews. The brownie was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! The prices are pretty up there it take about $50 to feed 2 people. Go on your best pay day

Food is great,tasty, and just on point. Friendly staff, and fast service! Nice chill out place with music. Definitely will be back!

Mannnn what can I say, everything was amazing about this spot. First let's start off with the food, I've never had cauliflower wings before. I had these and they tasted great! The zesty honey wings will have you come back I guaranteed! If you love fries then I highly recommend the hot mess fries! The egg rolls had some pepper jack cheese inside oooooo weeeeee I want some more. Best of they have a bar located with a whole bunch of TVs! I'm coming here every Sunday if I lived in Houston. Customer service was amazing, gentleman at the cashier was nice enough to explain the whole menu to me. I'll be back !!!

The wings and food was good. All the staff was nice and friendly, but drinks from bar were weak.

I was not impressed... Food was midcore, and semi homemade Sysco like... The butter tasted like oil, not real butter in the grits and toast... The best thing on the plate was the potatoes... Service was fast and friendly... Sorry, this place was a no-go for me...

First time trying. I'm hella picky about how I like my wings so I was a lil skeptical. I got all flats of the zesty honey garlic & hot honey flavor honestly couldn't tell much of a difference but still delicious I would definitely eat here again.

The food is hot and delicious good customer service A place to bring family and friends plus you can watch your favorite sports teams
