The prices were reasonable and the daiquiri had just enough alcohol. The only down side is that it was hot . We were later Informed that a technician had been trying to fix the air.

Do you love hot wings like the rest of America? If so, join the club. Atlanta has a special affinity for “Lemon Pepper Wings,” and there are ample reasons why.
Atlanta is known for its chicken wings scene, with several standout restaurants drawing long lines daily. This article is going to show you where you can get some of the best chicken wings you’ve ever tasted right here in Atlanta, Georgia.
Here Are The Best Chicken Wings In Atlanta
Before we get into who has the best chicken wings in Atlanta, as an avid yardbird lover, it’s necessary that I explain some of the top chicken wing varieties in Atlanta in a little more detail.
Atlanta restaurants have gone way past the simple hot, mild and spicy variety when it comes to chicken wings. These days, you can get jalapeno, Cajun, mesquite wings and more. Here are the top varieties:
Lemon Pepper
Lemon Pepper is by far the most popular type of chicken wing in Atlanta. Hey, I don’t make the rules. This is what all the local sports bars serve.
You will usually have a choice between Lemon Pepper Wet or Dry. If it’s Wet, then that means they use Lemon Pepper sauce. If it’s Dry, that means the chicken wings have been dusted in Lemon Pepper seasoning.
Teriyaki Wings
Teriyaki are typically coated with a glaze that gives it its sweet, tangy flavor. You’ll find these types of wings at many dine-in restaurants around Atlanta.
Maple Bourbon Wings
Maple Bourbon wings include chicken that has been marinated in syrup to give it a sweet taste. Oftentimes, it will be coupled with a spice to give it a little kick.
These Restaurants Have The Best Chicken Wings In Atlanta

“Ok so usually I’m not a fan of American Deli!! I had a bad experience when I was younger so I just avoid them (all)… I was in south Atlanta visiting a friend. I stated I wanted some good wings and she recommended American Deli on Camp creek rd… At 1st I was skeptical because of my past experience but she assured me it was going to be worth it. We both ordered the Philly with 5pc wings and fries. The cashier was super sweet ..professional .. kind and very helpful. They were pretty busy but She handled the front counter with ease. Assisting everyone with a smile and positive attitude.. customer service is lacking alot these days so she was very refreshing… They Philly was well seasoned and very delicious… the wings were crispy and saucy like I ordered and like it.. they’re in the business of giving fries away because of the way they’re sure to load you up!!! But overall the food was delicious and I will revisit that location when I’m in the area!”

Ah, summertime is here again and with it come all the trappings: hot weather, outdoor gatherings and a new Chick-fil-A sandwich.
The Atlanta-based fast food chain is introducing its newest seasonal entrée – the Maple Pepper Bacon Sandwich. The sandwich is stacked with smoky flavors that compliment a backyard barbecue in every way.
Also back on the menu at Chick-fil-A is the much-loved Peach Milkshake, which returns for its 15th year.
The sandwich is made with a lemon herb marinated boneless breast of chicken, grilled for a tender, smoky taste. It is served on a buttery and toasted maple flavored brioche bun, topped with Pepper Jack cheese, green leaf lettuce, bacon hand-tossed in a brown sugar and pepper blend, topped with sweet and spicy pickles.
“We are always looking for ways to make unique twists to our entrée selection and the Maple Pepper Bacon Sandwich is a delicious spin on the Chick-fil-A flavors our Guests know and love,” says Allison Duncan, director of menu and packaging. “It is a delicious blend of sweet, savory and spicy, offering an entirely different flavor profile than any other sandwich we’ve launched. We have several new and exciting offerings in the pipeline and look forward to continuing to surprise our Guests with bold, new tastes in the future!”
