West Side Wingery

Tacos we had here tonight were delish — Had the Carolina BBQ, the Spicy Fish Cake, and the Kale Pesto w/​chicken (or garbanzo beans instead of chicken, if you prefer). All were tasty and I honestly couldn’t pick a favorite from the three, though my guy said his favorite among his was the Fish Cake. As soon as I tasted the first one I wanted to order more, but about the time I set into my third one I felt pretty much stuffed. Three were plenty for even a pig like me, and on Taco Tuesday (or happy hour, 4 – 6 every evening), three tacos cost $ 9 instead of $ 11, which makes it worth it for me. Would love it if there was a chips and salsa option, too, or a salad sub. option if you just want the taco ingredients on a pile of greens.
The feel of the place is more grab-​n-​go than sit and chill, thanks to a tight space, sparse décor, and few tables. Music is hip hop-​oriented and chill. Looking forward to seeing how this place evolves and psyched to have a new quick option in town.

This place is delicious! The menu is small but you can’t go wrong. They have tacos, sandwiches, burritos, and of course, wings with a variety of sauces! They have a few vegetarian options, which is refreshing to see at a wing place. It’s a great new place in Athens!

The sweet chili wings are great not your over battered wings. Marinated prior to being lightly floured and fried. Carolina Smoked pulled pork taco with sweet slaw is excellent.

Wings were greasy and the tacos weren’t great and definitely overpriced.

I was disappointed when the owners closed Rickshaw Thai because I ate there with ridiculous frequency. Once I tried the tacos they sell at the Wingery, however, I forgave them as they are once again the purveyors of my favorite food in Athens. Since my wife tends to be the one who picks up the tacos, I don’t know how much they cost, but I also don’t care because they are that good. If you are living in this town and not eating those tacos on a regular basis, you are missing out.
