I am convinced that this is the best wing spot in Atlanta. This place is extremely consistent. I love the flavors and meatiness of the wings. Cajun fries are a nice touch to any meal. They have a wing basket where you get 10 wings, cajun fries, celery & carrots, and dressing. They charge $1 more to split the flavors and extra ranch/blue cheese. The hot wings are really good. I also tried jerk and hot honey mustard this time. I liked them all. They will create or mix flavors for you if you want. The jerk is hard to describe. It tastes great but it is more like a thin sauce. This makes it hard to see any seasoning but the flavor is there and it is good. The hot honey mustard is exactly how it sounds and I love the simplicity. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Never had a problem. I actually like talking to the staff. They have been here for a long time.This is labeled as a sports bar but it is pretty small. Less than 10 seats at the bar but enough TVs throughout the place for you to watch the game. They have plenty of tables and booths.Good beer prices.Parking is limited in this lot. It looks like most people do takeout from this location.

I LOVED everything about Clay's Sports Cafe! Apparently I had bookmarked this place and didn't really realize it. I'm happy that I did! It was super busy when I visited on a Friday night. I placed my to go order and ordered a beer while i waited. Staff was hardworking and nice to engage with. The portions sizes are huge here! Sooo many fries!!! My wings were great!!! Definitely had some leftovers for the next day! Clay's has a sports bar vibe. Not that huge inside but there are booth and table seating available. Patio too! I really enjoyed my first time here and I will be baaack!

After having this spot dozens of times, I am declaring Clay's as having the best wings in Atlanta hands down. I've also had this verified by multiple locals I turned on to this spot. Wings and service are consistent, which cannot be said about most wings spots I've had in the city. It's a smaller space, definitely a bar type feel. There is outside seating as well. Plenty of TVs for games as well.The wings are the perfect size in my opinion. The chickens aren't starved like major chains and not too large to where they are fatty and tough. They are perfectly fried and have the crispness I like in my wing. My go to flavor is the hot lemon pepper. Perfect combination of dry rub and sauce. My family also really enjoys the honey BBQ.The service is always attentive, friendly, and quick to respond to needs. I've never seen people waiting on anything at their tables. They always seemed to be fully staffed. Definitely check this spot out if you are looking for a new wing place. They never disappoint.

The wings are so goooooood. I am for sure a wing "afficionado". I was in the area and looked up where the good wings are. This place popped up. Very unassuming establishment that did NOT disappoint. It is tucked back in a corner in a shopping area in Sandy Spring and easy to miss. I'm not mad about that because that meant it wasn't. There was a mixed crowd, which I like to see. But back to the wings- they are phenomenal! Not to bypass the service though. My server was the sweetest, and very attentive, not in the fake or overbearing way. Her timing was appropriate, as well as her attention and demeanor. It just felt great being here and the food tasted great (which was what I came for). The server put me on to a new beer that was DELICIOUS. I foresee myself being back her a whole lot.

This is one of our favorites for a quick meal! Service is always great and you get a lot of food for the price. The wings and Philly cheesesteak are our favorites.

Soooo... I came here with extremely high hopes and hunger a little over a day ago!! Now, maybe it was the hunger speaking, but if there's one thing I cannot stand about a place of service is POOR SERVICE! I came here by recommendation of my friend and knew I wanted a six piece wing and fries. I initially ordered lemon pepper, garlic parmesan and mild WET wings. I was told by the wait staff that their garlic parmesan and lemon pepper rubs were already served wet. My experience with other restaurants are that they are a dry rub. So, I always order mild to get it tossed wet. Anyways, by recommendation of the wait staff, I went with just lemon pepper and garlic Parmesan (sans mild). Now, I won't even dive into the IPA I ordered, that I didn't like and asked to have replaced - which never got replaced. My order arrived very quickly - which was a plus considering we came peak dinner rush hour but, to my dismay, it (my wings) were NOT served wet. It was very much a DRY RUB. The very thing they explained to me that it would not be. Now, while the wings themselves were made well - which was a saving grace - I did NOT get what I ordered. Upon explaining to the wait staff that my order was not prepared as it was ordered, I was told the manager would be out to speak to me. Naturally, I stopped eating because I was not going to continue eating an order that was not served to my liking. While my friend - whose order was also initially served incorrectly was able to get her order corrected - enjoyed her meal, I sat waiting. I waited and waited and the manager never came out to speak to me. Instead they took my incorrect order away and removed all items from bill. They didn't ask to replace my order with the same order (just made correctly) or even ask if I wanted to sub for something else. So, after my friend paid her tab, we simply left. I'd have been happy to have my order replaced or to have the opportunity asked if I'd like to place a new order (and I'd have gladly paid for it because I am not even one that cares about having my orders subbed... I came to EAT and enjoy a meal for a reason.). None of which happened. I left disappointed and still hungry and took my business elsewhere. Should I return, I pray my experience is far better than this one because the little bit of the food I did get to experience - even despite it being served incorrectly - was good. Until then, I am sad to say I left disappointed with the services rendered. Also, before I wrap this up, the wait staff was nice. Our orders arrived quickly and the price points were very reasonable. The overall atmosphere was lively (very family friendly). They had ample TVs for anyone looking to watch any games and the overall decor was on par with most sports bars / eateries.

Looking for a to go wing spot on a Saturday night and Clay's didn't disappoint us.. I saw a post about the best wings in Atl and decided to give them a try. Glad that we did, wings were cooked perfect and were a good size. I will absolutely be coming back to get some more wings from them.. Looking forward to trying different flavors next time.

Great customer service. I was kindly welcomed when I walked in for my pickup order. Wings are slightly too big but flavorful. It's a solid wing place.

Let me preface, this review is directed entirely at the owner. Not at the food, or other staff.I've been going to Clay's for 4 years since I moved here, and have recommended others to come as well. Tonight, I called and spoke with a lady over the phone to place a pick-up order. She told me it would be an hour, and I said that would be fine. After discussing that with the other's in my group, we decided to get food somewhere else. I called back, less than 3 minutes after I got done speaking initially, and this is when I spoke to a man (Restaurant Owner) and told him I'd like to cancel that order before they waste any food. He asked how long the lady I originally spoke to said it would be, and then told me, that's wrong, it won't take more than 30 minutes.At this point, I was a little concerned, but opted to trust him. I then show up, 30 minutes later, and speak to the owner, telling him my name. He goes to the kitchen to "check on it" and I do not see him again. I stand there for 20 minutes until the lady (original ones I spoke to) brings me my food. She says "should be free for how long you waited" and I told her what happened when I spoke with him. She told me, unfortunately, he's the owner and does that sometimes. A blatant lie to prevent people from cancelling their order and him losing out on business.I get home after a 15 minute drive, to realize I'm missing a side of food. I call back, and the owner picks up. I tell him I do not want to come back tonight, and ask for a refund and give him the information on the order. He tells me their system does not allow refunds, but I can come back in. At this point, after the initial lie, I do not believe him, and it seems he's just out to protect his bottom dollar. I told him about him lying to me about the time, and he simply says, "if you'd like to come pick up your fries, you can".Unfortunately, like I said, I've had nothing but good experiences, better food, and great things to say about this place to my friends for 4 years, but after this occurrence with the owner of the business, I can't continue to support him.
