Tommy Want Wingy

Ever heard of a chicken lollipop? You have now! Tommy Want Wingy is the best place in town to eat chicken wings that don’t look like your normal chicken wings. These carefully crafted wings are served lollipop style, which makes them super easy to bite into.

There’s a catch, though. If you go for one of their spicier flavors, your mouth will truly be on fire! This is definitely the place for you if you can handle the heat, but they also have mild flavors for everyone else. Not to mention, they serve Parmesan garlic fries and they are so good! They’re located at Cosmic Coffee, and conveniently on Rainey Street. You don’t need any other late night snack when you have wings and fries.

But let’s get real, we are going here for the chicken! Their fried wings are not only coated with their signature seasoning but can also be drenched in 4 Asian-inspired sauces.
