East Coast Wings & Grill

I went there to have a Mother’s Day lunch with my son. We ordered the pub pretzels, Mardi Gras and kamikaze wings and they were delicious! I also ordered a peach martini! The service was fabulous!!! I will definitely be back!

This place reminds me of a cruise on Norwegian Cruise Lines, except that it is not inexpensive from the beginning like NCL. Both seem to want to nickel and dime you with extra charges. You should not have to pay 99 cents to change the flavor when you reorder wings under all you can eat. The wings tasted fine, but you should want people to try other flavors. That could make people want to come back more. I heard several other people complaining about these weird charges. It frustrates customers and makes it harder for your servers to enjoy their work.
Also, they are a Pepsi place in a Coke town. Enough said. At least their water tastes good.
One more thing. Their Rewards program seems to be a train wreck but I think they are fixing that.

The first time I came to east coast wings I thought everything was good. The service was good the food was good & I liked all the different wing flavored they had to offer. Last night we went to east coast wings & it was a completely different story. First of all we ordered our sodas, 2 mixed drinks, & 2 appetizers. The sodas took 20 minutes to come out, the mixed drinks took 30 mins, & by that time we had placed our orders for food as well. Needless to say after 1 hr of waiting for even the appetizers to come out we talked to the manager & ended up paying for our drinks & leaving. They were also not busy at all when we first arrived there were a few people at the bar & maybe 4 tables in the whole place. The sad part is they didn’t even offer any solution they just kept telling us the food will be out in a little bit. Won’t be back!

If the service was better I’d give a higher score. The wings are very good. Last night we went in and were seated. Ordered water and beer. The guy brought us our water and then we sat for about 25 minutes before managing to flag him back down. He said that this wasn’t his table, he was just helping another server out. We mentioned we haven’t seen anyone except him.
He did offer take our order, and ended up helping us out til the end. We’re very glad about that. He was helpful and friendly. It took an hour. Yes, 60 minutes, to get my beer. He did take it off, which I appreciate. We got our food about 50 minutes after being seated.
It seems like there is a serious issue there with staffing.

My boyfriend and I tried this place after passing it frequently when going to REI and other places nearby. We gave it a go today, and were pretty disappointed. We ordered fried pickles for an appetizer; the batter is thick and over-​done, and the pickles are soggy (I like fried pickles to still have a «snap»!) then we ordered wings. The wings are HUGE! Like, GMO huge. :/​not a fan of unnaturally large wings. We got mango habanero wings. Literally not even a kick to it whatsoever. I would expect it to at least have that, with «habanero» in the name. The blue cheese dressing has a mayonnaise-​like texture and look to it. Not a fan of that either. And let’s not even talk about how awful the interior «decorating» is here, with the kid-​like shapes and colors. Very outdated. Wanted to like this place but it vastly falls short among many other good wing places.

Waited 30 minutes for wings and a quesadilla after waiting about 10 minutes to be greeted and 10 more minutes on our waters. Blue cheese dressing had 0 blue cheese in it. Wing Sauces were dissapointing and had the feel and taste of something that came out of a can or a bucket. Homemade chips were soggy with grease and even the queso dip for them was bland and lifeless.
On the positive side of things the wings were crispy and decently sized but everything else considered we won’t be going back.

The food was great — no problem there. However, I’ve never encountered such a dysfunctionally rude staff anywhere like we found last night.
The restaurant looked like it’d been destroyed previously during the evening, so maybe they were all tired, but being our first time in (and last too), if the hours of operation are until 11pm, then act like it.
Before we even got our drinks, an employee was dragging floor mats between two tables of guests, shaking them out, dusting flying, banging them on the ground — where people were eating!!! She mumbled and cussed the whole time. It was an hour before closing.
At 10:20, the GM started barking orders at everyone to get their closing duties done, started turning off TVs, and we had just started eating. When questioned about actual closing time, he could not have been more rude. We were not even close to being the last table in the place. Really confused as to what his problem was.
We won’t be back and that’s a promise.

Yep, 2 stars… Sucks because i really wanted to like this place. They had the potential to be great. I mean, they have like 55 wing flavors or something. . and when it comes to my wings, the more variety the better! However, the execution was poor. We ordered 25 wings. 5 different flavors. All of the wings had almost no sauce, when we specifically asked for sauced wings. The fries had a weird batter, like donut batter.. very odd. And the wings were big, but not in a good way, they looked unnatural… The mozarella sticks were hot but bland, the best thing was actually the marinara sauce. I love wings but i only ate 5 of the 25 wings. I tried to give each flavor a fair shot
… It just didn’t do it for me. Won’t ever return.

Great food but service definitely lacking today. Sat for an hour and watched people eat and leave and we still had no food. Waitress sweet and Manager gave us coupons but argued when we said it should not take an hour for crispy wings! Not be back for awhile. :(so sad! Was my fav place when in town visiting …

The food here is awesome but the service is bad. Our waitress interrupted our mean way too many time to check on us and forgot our appetizer. We went on a Wednesday, slow day and it took 35 – 40 mins just to get our food. Only 1 cook. If your in a time crunch skip this place.

Every time I come to this place I’m treated like family! I only sit in Moe’s section, if you attend ask for her and you’ll see why! She’s been there for a while and is very knowledgeable! Top it off the food is smoking hot! I always get the atomic wings bomb bomb! Love this place with a passion they are very well rounded!

Came here for the first time as my son and I are still trying to find the perfect wings in area and needed to give it a try. It was busy when I called so just came in then ordered to go so I could get a beer.
Place was packed, not enough servers or bussers but knew what I wanted and was patient. Only one girl working the bar and the bar area– 3 6 tops, 2 4 tops, and the whole bar. She also did all to go orders called in. Tracey I think, great job with no help, did take a while, but I was not in a hurry.
When I ordered, told her it was to go, got a pad and took the order. Took about 30 min or so to get the order, but if you saw behind the scenes where I did, they were short handed and all hectic. Nevertheless, food came then the glad tidings begin.
One order was the Treuben (their take on a Rueben). I have to say that is the best sandwich I have had in some time. This is a 3 layer (3 rye/​marble pieces of bread), corn beef and sautéed onions, then a layer of ECWG homemade slaw. Really meaty, held together well. It was so good. All the right mix and the slaw really tied it together to make it a true meal in itself. I only ate half and saving rest for tomorrow as I ordered more food, but this sandwich is the true bomb! (UPDATE: Been again now on Jan 30) for Treubens to go for others to try. Really up there for best sandwich around. !
Ordered the fried mushrooms and fried spicy shrimp for appetizers. The mushrooms were really perfect hot, good earthy taste. Didn’t t taste frozen and thawed, but either way you taste the mushroom which is key for me. Quite good and would order again.
The fried shrimp we opted for extra hot– came about 8 – 10 to order, really tasty and good heat. Not extremely hot but good heat. Tender shrimp, good appetizer.
Then we tried 2 wings this trip– smoked bbq, and cajun spicy. First up, the smoked bbq were quite meaty and great taste and temp. Cooked well, good crisp on an open fire, really good if you are not looking for spicy. Very good.
The cajun were a little lacking in flavor and fire. Still good wings, but thinking cajun, we were looking for some real heat. Will order again and ask for more heat ! I’m sure they can .
Our consideration was this was spot on. Food quality is the stars and sure this place will work out staffing issues. Another recent visit proved the service at the bar was again great, place wasn’t crowded 2^nd time and everyone was in order. May try a Philly Cheese and other wings next visit offered but liked the food and will be back. The Teuben is still just amazing to me and totally unexpected. Love surprises.
NOTE_​THIS PLACE IS OVER BY CHUCKY CHEESE up past Fridays and near Teds Montana Grill. Its not on the side strip across from mall on 20.

COZY AND COOL = A GOOD TIME!
We decided to try out this restaurant while shopping in Buford today. It is conveniently located along Buford Highway, in a shopping center (with Ross and Marshalls), but can’t be seen from the street so you have to be watchful. It is basically a sports bar but with a real cool vibe. The game, Carolina vs Seattle was on and it was really fun just listening to the fans react to the various plays.
We had a great waitress Mandy, who was very helpful with the ordering process and provided great service today.
My husband started with an appetizer which were fried onion petals. I tasted them but thought that they were too salty and too oily which means my husband loved them and the accompanying horseradish sauce.
For his main course, he ordered the five piece chicken strips with fries and for my main I chose the Cajun ranch wings with sweet potato fries. My husbands chicken strips were HUGE and he could only eat two of them. He did say that they were quality and well prepared, (not salty, oily, or overdone). The fries were very strange because you could the taste of yeast was very palatable and not in a good way. I would not want my fries to taste like donuts but my husband liked them and ate them all.
My wings were perfectly prepared, (not too salty or overdone), and generous in size. They were actually delicious, I just wish they had been drained a bit more prior to plating. The sweet potato fries were nicely prepared with a hint of cinnamon sugar that did not interfere with the natural taste. Although they were served with a sweet dip, (like frosting), I did not indulge.
This is the type of place that you want in your neighborhood so that you can hang out several times a week. They have trivia and food specials throughout the week so there is great opportunity for a good time.
Highly recommended!

I had the sliders for lunch — Very Tasty! Love the chips and the sauce went well with everything. See y’all next time!

Wow, the size of the wings here compared to korean wings are huge! We got 10 wings each and fries and I only ate 3 – 4 wings and I was good (though I eat all the celery: P). Service is great, place is clean, but I cant stand the screaming kids (next time Im getting it to go)

East Coast Wings & Grill is my new favorite wing place!!! I first tried their wings on Dec.3^rd for my «The WIZ Live» watch party. GREAT CHOICE. I didn’t know whether to eat a wing or sing «Ease on Down the Road». I can’t choose just one wing flavor favorite… so I’ll choose two. My top choice is the Kamikaze wing. It is both sweet and sour. It is also sticky and spicy. My second choice is the Sweet BBQ wing flavor. There is enough sauce. As you all know… I LOVE extra sauce. Well, no extra sauce is needed here. This Sweet BBQ is sweet and sticky.
I went back on Saturday, Dec. 12 for more Kamikaze wings. YUM!
Oh, the French fries are awesome. They have a wonderful Lawry’s style seasoning on them. Try the fries with the ranch dipping sauce. You will be reminded of one of your favorite potatoe chip flavors! I was surprised. Great job East Coast Wings & Grill. You will probably see me again this weekend!

Back up to four! Went back and the service improved greatly! Food came out quickly, drinks were refilled, and didn’t have to flag anyone down for anything! I’m saving the fifth star while we see if the change is permanent — and we hope it is! Looking forward to it!
PS — no ding for this but the tartar sauce is way too salty! Really needs to be reviewed!

I was in the mood for a burger i stumbled upon east coast wing n grill off Unilocal and saw they had this breakfast burger that i had to try!
A delicious burger with a mini crispy waffle and maple syrup with a fried egg.
The burger was cooked a little more than i like but not that big of a deal, the textures blended really well with the cripsyness of the waffle and bacon to compliment the bun. Its was everything i expected to be and gave off a delicious scent of breakfast.
If your in the mood for a burger you gotta try this, if not they have a huge selection of wing flavors you can mix n match with heat levels and sauces, definitely coming back to give the wings a shot and there insanity wing challenge

Have been here many many times and I think the wings are pretty good compared to others around, they offer a slew of different flavors (75+ including dry rub) and they have a good amount of other food options which are worth exploring. The homemade chips are a winner and can be ordered in different flavors, queso, the salads and boneless wing options. Overall the food is a big step above Taco Mac and the wings more tasty than Buffalos, but I would still pick Wingstop to this place any day.
Outside of the food the inside is pretty comfortable, but the dining experience has been hit or miss on the many visits we have made. We have had to wait very long times for food or correct messed up orders or things missed by servers. While it is a sports bar type restaurant it is commonly overlooked, but is what keeps it from a five star place in my books.

First let’s start with the good.
— the food is decent for a bar/​grill
— the menu is extensive and offers a lot
Okay so now for only getting three stars
If you like your burger cooked anything other then medium well, you are out of luck. They cook it one way, and one way only. Which I think is complete sh*t and shows laziness in the kitchen
And the wings — they charge to sauce the wings. That’s like charging for Parmesan cheese to top the pizza. They are a bundled deal. Always have and always will be. At least include that sauce «charge» built into the cost of the wings so the customer doesn’t feel nickeled and dimed.
–side note–
Our waitress was very nice but had a very dirty appearance and cuts on her hands. Should not be handling food.
