Wing Depot

"Wing Depot, located in a little red hut in Southwest Atlanta, serves incredible wings—they're fried just right with a crunchy exterior that doesn’t overly dry out the meat. And their lemon pepper seasoning is a well-balanced mix of savory and tang that we wish more ATL places got right. Order from a small window and wait outside for your food, which is served piping hot. It’s a convenient stop for a quick lunch if you’re in the area or for when you want wings that you know won’t disappoint.

They're fried hard with a crunchy exterior that doesn't overly dry out the meat. BBQ Wings No improvement notes on the sauce. It’s not overly sweet with just the right amount of tang. They’re well-coated, so you won’t have to ask for extra sauce unless you want them dripping. Teriyaki Wings These have a light glaze that adds depth without turning into a sugary mess. Just sticky enough to cling to the crispy skin—these are solid." - Jacinta Howard

"This unassuming spot has become a favorite among the true connoisseurs of our lemon pepper province. To find it, you'll need to ride down Campbellton Road in Southwest Atlanta and stop when you eye a tiny red hut at the edge of a shopping plaza because that means you've found the home of some of the crispiest, most well-seasoned lemon pepper wings in the city. They're fried just right with a crunchy exterior that doesn't overly dry out the meat. And their LP seasoning is a nicely blended mix of savory and tang that most ATL places wish they did as skillfully. Order from the Depot's small walk-up window, then stand around or wait in your car for your wings, which are served piping hot." - demarco williams, juli horsford, jacinta howard

"A frequent contributor to Eater Atlanta, Mike Jordan describes Wing Depot as his spot for “comfort and convenience.” Located in a red shack in the middle of a parking lot next to the Auto Zone, Jordan says these wings are the “wind beneath” his own.
