J.R. Crickets - Marietta

Came in to pick up my order and this place was in shambles. Messing up other peoples order and very disorganized. The girl with the bbl at the front desk was trying her best but she was running around like a chicken with her head cut off. Lastly I asked the cashier with the BBL to pls ask the cook to put plenty of dry ranch powder on my wings, instead I received my order and the wings looked like someone was being stingy with the ranch powered like it was barely on there. And the fries were plain and bare ew! Throw some seasoning on the fries who wants plain fries ? Not me. Won't be back.

This catfish and shrimp was great. I had a blue moon while I waited. I also ordered 10 piece hot lemon pepper. My friend ordered the 20 piece confetti. We really enjoyed this meal. The young lady that took my order was really nice and helped with my order. And there were several tv's that gave me options of what to watch. The seating along with the tvs makes for a great environment.

Delicious! Hit the spot. Highly recommend confetti wings for dry rub cravings. Well seasoned. Will definitely be my go-to wing spot from now on. The woman who took my order was kind and helpful. Always appreciate nice service, somehow makes the food taste even better.

TLDR: My wife wanted some JR Crickets, and we usually ONLY order from the Midtown location. We decided to roll the dice and visit a recently opened location near our home. And I'll be honest: this location did not miss whatsoever!!! They have great food and service (what the midtown location lacks)! I'd highly recommend checking them out.I was en route to North Avenue when Google Maps told me there was a JR Crickets in Marietta. I decided to give them a chance and check them out. The restaurant is inside a small shopping center with a barbershop, convenience store, and laundry mat. When I walked inside the restaurant, I was greeted by the cashier. The place was clean, and there were some TVs for people to watch the game. They also have a full bar and were running drinks and happy hour specials. I would typically call to order, but since I was in the area, I decided to go inside the establishment and place an order. The cashier was super kind and helpful. I ordered a 10 pc Hot Teriyaki wings with shrimp, and my wife ordered a 10 pc lemon pepper hot. The wings were crispy and sauced just the way we liked them. These are the exact wings I almost drove thirty minutes into the city to purchase. The location checked all boxes: decent size (regular sized wings and not oversized chicken), great flavor, crispiness, and juiciness. This location also makes the renowned JR Cricket's homemade ranch and blue dressing!!! The shrimp were ok. They were the frozen butterfly-type shrimp. I'm not a huge fan of those. I assumed I was ordering regular fried shrimp. They also forgot to place my cocktail sauce in the bag. I'd give this location a 4.5/5. The wings checked all of the boxes, but the fries were overcooked. I will ask that they do not overcook them next time I visit. As a wing connoisseur and a frequent JR Cricket wing eater, I promise you won't regret visiting this location. Those from the ATL area know that all JR Crickets aren't created equally. This location passed all the tests (and EXCELS in the service area!!!).

Food cooked fresh but service is very slow. They were very short staffed so the cashier is the cook also. Definitely don't taste like downtown JR Crickets or the one that use to be across from Varsity. Wings not fried hard if you ask for it, this is more a American Deli feel then Jr Cricket. There was a man that waited over an hour for his food and was ready to go. We waited over 30 minutes for our order and it was not fired 3x hard like we requested. It was clean and fresh smelling in there, it didn't have the smell the fried chicken. So that mean they use fresh oil, not old oil. But service is very slow due to been very short staffed I love the owners or manager knowing service still have to run a business with or without staff.

We had a hankering for wings (and things) and decided to stop. We dined on burgers, wings and fries. Everything was fresh and served with a smile. Gratuity for dine in is automatically included. Everything was as expected. Good job!

Dropped in to grab some wings and ended up with the fish. The service was great, I was pleasantly surprised to see a full bar at this location, it gives take-out food vibes. The whiting was really hot and good. Definitely worthy of another visit

We came to town for the peach bowl and my son wanted wings. Haven't had J.R's in forever. This was our first time at this location. We stopped by and they did NOT disappoint. The dirty bird wings were awesome. Shout out to the lady at the counter. I did not catch her name. But those drink cups they have are not reliable with that lid. I spilt the drink all over the counter and she was so nice about it. Most people would have gotten an attitude and probably rolled a few eyes but she was real nice. I was embarrassed of course. I would have cursed me out in my head if I was her. But she smiled and was very nice. So again thank you and I do apologize a million times over. The place was real clean. I don't give out to many 5 stars. I travel a lot and I try to shout out to let people know if it's good or bad. This place was definitely GOOD! Great job!

Overall good wings and the cashier is always friendly. Do NOT order on Ubereats or DoorDash as the markup is almost criminal. The ten wing combo is $15 if you pickup yourself but $26 on those apps; not including delivery fees and tips.Also would be nice if we could split flavors on ten wing orders.

Do not come to this Jr crickets location.The quality of the food is trash. The customer service from the management is terrible. Very unsettling and uncomfortable environment
