I don't know why I refuse to listen to my fellow Yelpers sometimes.
A coworker and I were doing a double so we decided to order from planet wings. Worse decision ever made. I'm a wing person and these wings were the worse wings I've ever had and I'm going to tell you why….
The wait for delivery was 45 minutes. We were busy so we didn't even realize how long it took.
I ordered "Gourmet Garlic" and it was disgusting. NO TYPE OF GARLIC flavor whatsoever. It just had that high vinegar buffalo taste that I cannot stand!!! It was wayyyyy too vinegary. Yuck.
I'm so disappointed and I CANNOT stand wasting money. I didn't even finish them.
A lot of Yelpers complain about the size but the size was fine it was just the taste.
I don't recommend at all
I know this place is a chain but I really don't think it deserves a two star review…..c'mon people. They are more like a 3.5 star joint. While I have had better wings I will say that this place will do in a pinch.
On a recent order the GF and I got two different kinds of their boneless wings. ( Yes I know I should have gotten traditional but I was so hungry I didn't want any pesky bones to get in the way and cause me to potentially choke as I inhaled these wings)
The girl on the phone taking our order was nice and answered the two questions I had about flavors. We ended up getting a 10 piece of Cajun flavor ( for me) and a 40 piece of Smokey Mountain BBQ ( for her………I'M KIDDING………sweetie…. what are you doing?…….put the baseball bat away……)
Ok I've regained consciousness and as I was saying, I got the 10 and we SPLIT a 15 piece smokey mountain BBQ. I was happy with our decision. The Cajun had a nice spice to it and while the BBQ ones were a tad too sweet they were still good.
Delivery was fast and the driver was nice and friendly. Like I said earlier this place will do in a pinch and I would not hesitate to order from them again.
Now where did I put my ice bag……
It's okay. Not my favorite place for wings.
IMHO, the wings are a bit small but at least there were free fries if you spend $10 minimum. The coupon is online when you sign up to their "club."
The wings are a bit pricey given the size of the wings. My wings are dry inside. Not the best wings. I guess if wings were fast food style…this is how it would taste.
The pluses are: there is plenty of parking, they take orders ahead of time on the phone, there is an online menu….and the kid serving me was pretty nice. He almost forgot my fries but was apologetic and got it for me quick.
Ask for the fries to be extra crispy because I tend to feel like they are a bit undercooked. Not crispy enough.
It is crowded but that is because College Point is very limited in food choices so anything new opens up in the area, people are willing to try. College Point really needs more food choices.
I would give the boneless wings a try next time, maybe.
This place is a franchise. I don't know why, but the name bothers me. When I think of "planet" I think "out of this world." When I think "wings," I think Friday Happy Hour.
Planet Wings is really, neither.
I can't judge on the wings because I haven't actually eaten them, BUT, I have smelled them. Wow. The scent is like a luscious chicken-y perfume. It envelops the office and kinda stops you in your tracks. (The place is around the corner from my work.)
Tuesday is "Taco Tuesday" and I know from my the Tuesday echo from my bosses office, we should prepare our order, cause we are about to get a delivery from Planet Wings. Yay! Even me, the office loser who always has her lunch, participates in a Planet Wing lunch.
The prices are super reasonable. Menu is pretty wide. Salads, tacos, burgers. Pretty awesome fast food grub. I always get the grilled chicken salad. It is chuck-full of warm, deliciously seasoned, chicken right off the grill, fresh lettuce and tomato (olives and no onions.) You get your choice of dressing but I get the generic, oil and vinegar which is a portioned packet of yummy-ness. My lunch is advertised as under 300 calories which makes me quite happy. A great lunch that will tide me over till dinner at home. Better than my measly turkey sandwich from home.
Taste: Great!
Wings: TINY
Delivery: Slow, real slow. And it was only 1 block away.
You should always be leery of chain restaurants that say they specialize in wings. Yes, I go to Hooter's but that's for football and for the unlimited wings specials; otherwise, Hooter's is terrible. BWW has better wings, but is still average. Maybe I'm spoiled by all of the great bars I've been to, but Planet Wings definitely had the worst wings I have ever had.
Maybe it was because I went at 9:15pm that I got stuck with such a poor order of wings. Literally the size of this AA battery on my desk, the wings were slathered in a not so garlic "roasted garlic bbq" sauce and fried into nothingness with a cup of "blue cheese," which was just white, watery, runny goop.
And okay, I know working in the fast food industry sucks. The hours are long, and the pay isn't great,but to be browsing your cellphone while sitting at a table is just unprofessional and gives a terrible first impression. And starting the dialogue with "we only have wings left" probably isn't the best idea.
Nope, never again. Not this one, not the other ones.
Well I have definitely had better wings, I got the boneless because I was feeling particularly lazy. There's a Planet Wings close by where I live, I've heard good things about it so I figured I wouldn't object. If you're having a craving for wings, this is not bad for a quick fix, but like I said, there are other places. I also got the cheese steak just to try it out. It wasn't all that bad, they put some kind of sauce on their steak while they cooked it, and maybe that's what did it for me.
