First of all I hardly ever write reviews but I will never go back rio Wing Snack. They charge $1 a wing for them to be scorched
An average Sunday afternoon crowd, plan on waiting about 5 minutes for every order placed; so if it's faster it's lagniappe.

They use to have the best wings and ranch fries ever. This time after coming it was not the same. Maybe it's new owners but it's not all that! Ordered the 10 piece half sweet hot and lemon pepper w/ ranch fries. The service was fast you order inside then pick up outside. It's really small so you can go back to your car to wait. It's not parking and it's bad you have to figure out and make up your own parking space lol However, when I come back to NOLA I will try the other locations. The ambiance is in Treme and it's very small. -Marshay D.

Just as I remembered! Fried to perfection. I think they read my mind...they knew the exact crisp in which wings are suppose to be. They weren't the fastest, but they are made to order. They don't have that soggy oven (not broiler) baked texture...they were just really really good. We ordered the garlic pepper and new house. If you go here you can eat anything on the menu. Add in some new house fries or the ranch fries. Have some honey mustard wing. Shoot, order the 75 piece abs eat for a week. You won't regret it. I haven't steered you wrong! This is another kept secret in New Orleans. It's under the highway on Orleans. Okay. So don't be nervous. When you go there, you may wonder if you're safe. YES! You are safe. If it's crowded, it's because the food is great and everyone also wants wings. This is where the locals go. This is not a national chain. This is mama and 'em cooking it up for you to enjoy. Don't go to mamas house and act like you're not hungry. Set aside some stomach space for these weeks.

Talk about delicious. Wing Snack is located in the treme, not to far from the French quarter. It is pretty small, and its easy to pass up if you're driving. The parking is also difficult, because you have to park either on the street or under the overpass across the street. Don't let this detour you though! I sure didn't let it stop me. I smelled the chicken as we were walking across the street. I didn't eat anything all afternoon so that my appetite could be ready for all deliciousness. On our visit we ordered lemon pepper wings, and the house ranch fries. I also ordered the punch they made daily. The "ghetto punch" or "kool aid" as some would say. When I tell yall those wings were the best I ever had I'm not lying. They put wingstop, buffalo wild wingz, brewingz, hooters and wings to go to shame! They were crunchy with just the right amount of seasoning. The ranch fries were also seasoned well and tasty! Every time I visit new Orleans I will frequent this business! I wish there was one in Houston!

Good Golly Ms Molly, these wings were the bomb! We needed a late night snack, and we could smell them from the street. We were drawn to it like moths to a flame. I knew immediately they'd be delicious because plenty of locals were rolling up and waiting on their take-out orders. The wings were perfectly fried. Just crispy enough without drying out the meat. The garlic pepper was coated in delicious flavor. The fries are also out of sight. Plus, they gave us free punch (it's really just Koolaid, but it's great with the spicy wings).

DO NOT TOUCH THIS CUP! exclaims the 32oz styrofoam "tip jar" behind the plexi;SAUCES COST EXTRA, $0.50 each, so all-in the wings here are a so-so deal at $1 per. Also, expect a 3-4 minute wait per order ahead of you, if it's faster it's lagniappe.I PREFER "VIEUX CARRÉ PIZZA'S WINGS" as they are the best "dry" to me. Simply salt & peppered, sans breading, slowly fire-broiled in a pizza conveyor oven: crispy skin outside, buttery moist inside. AND they don't charge extra for sauces AND it's a less sketchy area (3PM-3AM daily, 733 Toulouse).

NEW LOCATION COMING SOONSo I was first introduced to this place my senior year of high school when I came to visit schools. Fast forward to now & as a current resident, I've come back numerous times. Wing Snack has some of the best wings in the city! & of course, who can forget the Ghetto Punch. Sadly, the original location is closing. :( But there is already a location on the Westbank & signs inside the shack today say there is a new location at 2540 Desire St. The new location includes new menu additions, which is a plus. But unfortunately the prices have gone up (which is why I gave it 4 stars). Check out the pics for the new menu/prices.

One of the best wings I've ever had. Top 3 for sure. The sauce is amazing and the wings are fried perfect, just right. They come with fries if you want, get the Cajun style if you want to keep with the New Orleans flavor. Oh yes please do get the ghetto punch, it's kool aid ish? I loved it.So for the other part of the experience. You walk up here and it's like a prison cashier. Glass, rotating exchange point, not the friendliest of service, very secured building, no seating, just take out, people walking by constantly, and a decent wait. So plan accordingly if you don't feel comfortable here in these conditions. I'd suggest getting a few flavors when you order with fries, and the punch then go on your merry way.

I've frequented this place with a friend several times but no matter how many times I come here, I always forget to bring cash. It is an extra mile to venture outside of this area to a bank to get some cash and come all of the way back. It's an established place where New Orleanians come for wings, Cajun fries, and the famous ghetto punch! It's the most delicious punch I've ever had: not too sweet, not bitter, and a natural blend of flavors for the perfect punch.After getting your cash, you would need to park under the bridge and walk across the street. Be careful and pay attention to the light. Keep your car locked and keep an eye out. At this locations there is no place to sit and eat, and it's not really comfortable to order and wait. You're standing the entire time, outside a pickup window; you can imagine how packed it may get if it rains or gets really cold outside. Personally, l think the wings are rather dry: they could use some juice or some oil to keep them juicy. The fries I love, but not more than I love the punch! Get a large if you can; you won't regret it. It's a little bit of a hassle, this place; Yet and still, the food is enough for customers to keep coming back.
