Wings N' Things

I wish I could give Wings N' Things 1/8 of a star.I ordered the shrimp and 4 wings basket for lunch.The food was such a disappointment.Especially the wings.The wings looked like they came from a Bee hummingbird(The smallest existing bird).I cant believe the cook would serve this to a paying customer.No shame!They were also over fried and had no flavor.I was the only one in the restaurant that was ordering at the time, so I'm not sure what the issue was today.The fries were ok and the shrimp looked pre-packaged.There was no hand breading going on in this joint.The restaurant lobby was not appealing.A few stools to sit on,a table turned upside down and the tool used to drain deep fryers sitting out front.I tried to call and complain about the food and they weren't hearing it at all.No way I will be spending my money there again.There is no parking either.I don't recommend this place to anyone.Fry your own food.You will get better flavor,customer service and quality of food!

Jerk chicken may be my favorite food on the planet and unfortunately, in Minneapolis, there simply aren't too many spots to get it. I passed by this spot on the north side a number of times and figured that I'd check it out.The first thing that you notice is that this definitely isn't a Jamaican spot. It's an inner city fish/chicken spot that just happens to serve jerk chicken. I was cool with that still and opted for the jerk chicken and rice bowl, extra spicy ($8).The bowl was filled with jerk chicken. It didn't have much gravy on there and the meat was crazy salty (coming from someone who LOVES salt to a fault). However, it still tasted crazy good. What was quite odd about the dish is that they put giardiniera in the dish (albeit grilled). The taste and crunch was definitely a nice addition, but certainly not what one would expect out of a jerk chicken dish (especially if you are Jamaican).As a whole, very solid, but just different. If your expectations are for rice and peas, cabbage, plantains, etc, this ain't the spot. However, if you want a bowl filled with jerk chicken for super cheap, it's worth a shot.

Stopped in here while in the North side and saw their tent sign out front that said $9.99 for 15 FULL WINGS. What? I had to go check it out. The place is just a hole in the wall. They even have an out-of-service fry vat out front for decoration with plastic on top of it. Hmmm so appetitizing! Well for the foodie and bargain hunter that I am I was unfazed. I remember going to Shorty and Wags off Nicollet and 38th, WAY before it was hipster-ville and it was really sketchy...like Broadway KFC-bullet-proof glass kinda sketchy. Unfazed.So this is a take-out joint in the same building as the 4th St Saloon with a parking lot you had to get to through an alley. You know, the big bar right on the corner of B'way and I-94 with the jazz-music mural...except they never present jazz here...hmmm...There was one guy running the kitchen/take-out counter/back of a bar food kitchen. Sho-nuff $9.99 whole wings, with a choice of cajun and/or lemon pepper seasoning. Drinks, fries, and sauce are ala carte. I got a basket of fries for $2.99. The whole thing came to less than $15.The food came in about 5-10min. In that time as a good Yelper that I am I checked-in, and then read a 1-star review of someone who got sick off the crab. Ok. If someone actually ordered shellfish from this place, with their amazing decor, right off B'way and 94...ok you understand. The place is called "Wings 'n Things." Don't order the "things." Order "Wings!" I have zero sympathy. Sorry...on with my story. It did give me one-second of pause. But I thought well...deep fried wings at 1000 degrees...nope no worries for me. Except maybe a mild headache from the neurotoxin known as MSG.Now there's the one ceremonial side table in the corner in front of the fry vat, but yeah...no thanks. I'm eating this at home. On the way home I smelled that great fried greasy WYNGS smell...that cajun/MSG laden goodness. Oh man it reminded me of Shorty and Wags so much!Once home and I poured my Red Hot and ketchup, and ready for war! The wings were good. They were not Ray-J's (NE Mpls) great, but at $9.99 I was stupid gitty that I found this deal. I had my lunch fill, and then went and packed two other lunches for later in the week. Ok. Boom. Mic. Drop.

Lemon pepper never tasted so good...on everything! This place has some of the best fast fried deliciousness in minneapolis if you're looking for some chicken and fries quick! This place is a stop and go restaurant with very little space inside so be prepared to order your food and go somewhere else to eat it. There is a very small parking lot located on the side of the restaurant in front of 4th st saloon but you might have to park on the street. I'm sure that whatever you get will be heavily sprinkled with lemon pepper seasoning and have your tastebuds jumping with delight! The butterfly shrimp is perfectly crispy, the chicken wings are fried to perfection and the fries are good too! There's someone for everyone if you like gyros or fish. Don't let the location deter you from stopping.

I decided to stop by when i saw their online post about $3 gyros, a February special.Wings N Things is a restaurant designed for to-go orders; small, with chairs and no tables.I stopped by twice.My first time there, i ordered the gyro special and deep fried mushrooms. The gyro was good. Every component of it (the lamb meat, sauce, onion and tomato) by itself is pretty plain, but together, they are amazing. The mushroom holds a good and flavorful batter, with a good crunch.The second time, i ordered a gyro combo (gyros with fries and a drink for about $6), their gyro special, and their wings special; 15 wings for $10 (these specials are only for the month of February). Gyro was good as usual. Fries were meh, nothing special. The wings were good, but nothing amazing also.Overall, wings n things is the neighborhood guilty food. Good, greasy, cheap, and hands-on food.

Delicious !! And at a great price, Definitely recommend to try it out. You can even order head online or over the phone

Food was not very good at all. Soggy wings. Order was made via internet and they still got it wrong.

The chicken is quite good, and very salty. The fries are standard take out faire.But the best part is that you can be hanging out at the 4th St. Saloon late at night, and just walk up to the window they have directly into the bar. And the guy even came and told that our food was ready (but we were the only white people in the bar, so pretty easy to spot).

Saw this place on FacebookAnd today I happen to drive by so I hooked a U and came in for some jerk chicken.. short story, it was delicious and the chicken taco was tasty too. This place is a small hole in the wall but big on flavor. I would definitely go back to try the wings.

Absolutely the worst customer service ever! I never received my order but was still charged for it. I tried to contact them. The manager said he was to busy to talk to me and hung up!
