The Wing Boss

When it comes to wings in the Med Center, there aren't many places that will do them better than The Wing Boss. They're a black-owned business specializing in wings with a little Cajun flair. While they might get pegged as a perpetual takeout/delivery spot, they have so much to offer as dine-in establishment.For starters, they have ample seating, TVs for days (aka a straight up sports bar), and a full bar. The friendly service, solid parking situation, and even clean bathrooms makes this a bonafide happy hour destination for residents / workers in the neighborhood and/or casual sports evening with some comfort food.The bone-in wings are a staple here. About 12 of the wings comes in at a cool $18.95, which comes with 3 "Boss" sauces and a couple of Hawaiian rolls. For an extra $1.50 charge, one can make it all flats / drums. The wings are juicy and weren't overcooked, which is tough to do. They also offer boneless which are $2-3 cheaper per bundle and there is also vegan cauliflower wings that aren't always available. They have a impressive array of sauces from zesty honey garlic to garlic parmesan to mango habanero. Their hot honey and hot lemon pepper are popular but there's also classic choices like mayo, ranch, and blue cheese. Each sauce is a $1 extra if it doesn't already come with a combo.Their non-wing offerings are interesting to me, especially since they lean into their Cajun side. It goes beyond the Cajun fries, but their fried okra, dirty rice, catfish "bites", and their boudin egg rolls. I wasn't terribly impressed with their loaded boss fries ($15) or their fried shrimp, but I did enjoy the boudin egg rolls ($11 for 3), and was super impressed with the catfish bites. They were perfectly fried, with nice hunks of catfish meat with just enough breading to hold it all together. Practically *everything* had some serious seasoning to it with a hint of spice in every bite.I only know of another location in Cypress, but I'm quite satisfied with this inner loop location. I was told it can be busy throughout the week and after tasting the food and seeing their ambiance, I can 100% see why.

Short and sweet:- Some of the best wings I've had. I usually get the zesty honey garlic wings.- Nice, low key spot to watch a game.- Their daiquiris are okay, a bit too sweet, but still good.- Decent service, and the crew is cool.

From the moment we walked in it was a good experience. My boyfriend was visiting from Maryland and he loves wings and wanted to support a black owned business. The hostess/cashier was friendly and explained the menu throughly. She had great customer service. We received our food fast and he rated the wings a 8/10 and he loves wings!We will probably go back tomorrow before he returns home Sunday. Great experience, great food.The only thing I would change is the size of the side item. It would be nice if it were a lot bigger but other than that we will absolutely be back.

These bone in wings was fire!! I went in one evening on a weekend so it took a little bit to get my food as there were other guest waiting. Inside they have a bar and plenty tvs so you can enjoy your wait with drinks and entertainment. Line was pretty consistent as I waited so I would call in if it was a to go order. It's tucked away in the corner of the plaza but if you miss it a quick u-turn will get yea back to the right spot. Bone in-Great. Boneless-lacked some seasoning and flavor.

We came here after a night of drinking to grab some wings. Cashier was friendly and we got 6 garlic Parmesan wings with fries and a water. It is a bit on the pricy side though. They had a dj inside playing music which was cool. The wings tasted good and were nice and hot. May try the spot again if I visit Houston in the near future

The ambiance is real chill. Dress code is casual, nice hip hop playing to set the mood. The wings are great. I'm boneless guy, but last time I went bone in. They did not disappoint. Their sauces aren't overpowering. And staff are polite, energetic, and engaging. Willing to answer any questions you may have. Wings are nicely tossed. Sauce is evenly covered.

Ordered takeout from here after working late this week. Upon other reviews' recommendation, called in my order since I read that they can take a while to cook. I came right at the 15-minute mark and the wings were on the way out from the kitchen. The restaurant was pretty empty on a Tuesday night but looked like a lot of people like me were doing takeout. The employee over the phone (who I believe was also the cashier) was sweet and made the ordering and pickup process simple. I ordered the 12 boneless wings + fries combo. At $20.95, price is a little steep compared to the competition. Without fries, you save $3. I will say that the boneless wings were BIG and meaty. The flavors I got were Zesty Honey Garlic, Garlic Parmesan, and Regular BBQ. The 12 piece comes with 2 Hawaiian rolls, whereas the 6 piece and 8 piece come with 1 Hawaiian roll. My favorite flavor was the Garlic Parmesan. It was savory and had just the right amount of garlic season. The cheese is your standard grocery store parm that was used as part of the seasoning. My least favorite was the Regular BBQ. I felt like the barbecue sauce was slightly bland and didn't have the sweetness you'd normally find in Sweet Baby Ray's. And in the middle, the Zesty Honey Garlic was good! Sweet and tangy, had a nice blend of flavors captured in a boneless wing. The rolls are just your standard premade Hawaiian rolls straight out of the box. I normally don't have rolls with my wings and honestly could've done away with these, but I suppose this may be how they justify the higher price point. The place knows the drill with takeout - they puncture a hole in the top of the foam boxes to keep the fried foods crispy. Pro detail that a lot of places miss and can definitely ruin the meal! Even with the punctured hole, the boneless wings weren't as crispy as I would've liked them -- not sure if it was due to being boxed up or if this is their normal crispness, but until I have a dine-in experience, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Overall this was a good new discovery for wings. Not sure if I'd go out of my way to come here since the narrow edge in wing quality compared to the competition is hard to justify for the price point. They do have a full bar with daily drink specials, so a good reason to visit. I'd recommend at least giving them a try if you find yourself in the Med Center / NRG area.

The food is hot and delicious good customer service A place to bring family and friends plus you can watch your favorite sports teams

Came here based off of a recommendation of a friend. It was about 8 of us, and we were quickly seated and served. To say that it was 8 of us, the service was extremely fast and the food came out very hot. Before the last person was done ordering, they were already bringing out the first person's food.It's a pretty chill ambience. Not far from Texas Southern University, large parking lot, great for after a game or to watch a game. It has a sports bar feel. I ordered the hot honey catfish sliders & the 6 piece lemon pepper wings. A friend of mine got the hot honey wings. WOW! they were absolutely delicious. The lemon pepper wings were OK, the catfish sliders were definitely a hit. They had just the right amount of honey and you could tell it's a homemade sauce. Really delicious!Giving them 5 stars for the fresh food & great customer service!

This is hands down the best wings place in Houston! I tried 4 of their wings flavors and ALL of them were perfect. I can't say that about any other wing place in Houston, let that sink in a moment.I had their following flavors with fries and I will rank them in order of my favorites:1. Hot Honey2. Garlic Parmesan 3. Zesty Honey Garlic4. Mango Habanero Next time I need to try their Lemon pepper and Cajun dry rub which I hear are all great as well. This place is so good that if it was a franchise I would buy one. I hope they open more locations cause this one is pretty far from me. I'm certain they could put wing stop and buffalo wild wings out of business. I highly recommend them.
