Wishbone is pretty hit or miss -- when it's good it's really good, and when it's bad, it's very bad. General advice would be to stick to stuff that they have out front. White meat and dark meat tenders are very good, the breading is unique and not like many other chicken places in the city. There's a great selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available, and some very nice sauces to go with them. Potato salads are homemade, and very good.
But when you order something from the kitchen (fries, tots, chicken sandwiches, etc) it becomes a lot more hit and miss. I've had two times now (most recently 5/15/2025) that I got a chicken sandwich that has been undercooked, pink, and chewy in the middle. Sometimes the fries are nice and crispy, sometimes they're soggy and room temperature. You can never really know what you're going to get if they aren't selling it right out front.
Customer service is very straightforward. Staff are there to sell you food, not to be your best friend. Personally, I like that. But if you want service workers to make you feel like a very special person, you will not get that here.
Overall, I really want to like Wishbone, because it's got great charm. The food that they're moving in high volumes, like the tenders and bites, are great. But when you ask for something specific that they need to cook in the back you may want to be a bit more careful.
