Holy hot buffalo wings, this place is wonderful! Not quite as good as my favorite chicken wing place, but delicious nonetheless. Plus how many places can you enjoy turkish coffee with your buffalo wings? My boyfriend and I shared a buffalo wing special with 12 wings, french fries, celery/carrots, ranch a roll. He had a buffalo burger which he loved, and I had a garden salad (eh).BUT the wings were wonderful. Yummy and spicy and delicious. I can't wait to go back and try suicide heat.

Not bad at all.. and the buy 10, get 10 free student discount made it well worth the money. The fries are really good too!

I was introduced to this place by a friend who is probably the store's main promoter because she brings everyone here and eats here weekly. At least she did before she graduated. Anyways, if you are craving buffalo wings, this is the place to go!! It's really not that far of a walk from Wilshire, so get off your lazy butts students! The prices if I remember correctly are awesome. Best to bring a group because you order by number of wings. The wings come in 3 spicy levels, and come with the usual sides such as celery and carrots with sauce. You can also order other sides such as baked potato, which is also very good!Last time I was there they were still constructing a patio, but I think they should be done now since that was more than a year ago.Wow, I'm craving it right now...

Best wings ever! I miss this place and used to go here all the time back in the days of my undergrad! For the fans, they also have a sister store in Culver City! :)

Why doesn't this place have a baziilion college kids yelping it? Cause its not that great thats why. I am a connoisseur of buffalo wings, having spent College in Chicago, which has some great wings joints. The wings here are mediocre at best. I actually prefer the wings at Chili's and at Hooter's to this place, and neither of those are too great. Do what I do and make your own from Trader Joes Frozen ones. You just need to make your own sauce to toss on the wings once they come out of the oven. Equal parts melted butter and Franks Original Red Hot Cayenne Pepper Sauce.Louisiana

This is definitely a hidden gem in Westwood. Right south of UCLA, the often sparse storefront makes the place look deserted and not a good place to eat. But low and behold, once you stand at the counter, order your food, you walk through a hallway lined with hookah, you end up in the back patio, buzzing with people and tables.Surprisingly, this place wasn't just wings and fried fast food. This Armenian family owned joint also had an all you can eat, Middle Eastern food buffet which didn't look huge, but had a lot of good lookin' stuff, all cooked by the mom, who by the way, was a really nice, rad lady, and took the time to talk to our drunken group.Oh, and that part that got me all stoked, you can bring in your own alcohol and there's no corkage fee. All you need is your receipt from where you bought it, so they have proof they didn't sell it to you.The wings and sauce were pretty good, but not as spicy as I usually like them. We got the triple suicide hot sauce, but it barely registered on my Korean/Chinese tongue. Good nonetheless.Prices were reasonable too, for "family" sets of wings. Hookah started at $15, and per the suggestion from the son of the joint, the white grape flavor rocked.Oh, the mom also brought us a few samples of the desserts she personally baked, and considering I don't really have a sweet tooth, I thought they were damn good. I've had really good homemade baklava, and this was better than that.Fun, low key, and cheap. Awesome.

Why doesn't this place have a zillion college kids yelping it? Anyway, please do not come here if you're overweight or have a familial history of heart disease. You may not survive. Food: Delicious and about 7-9 bucks per meal. These guys know how to deep fry. The large sampler platter comes with deep fried juicy mushrooms, zucchini, mozarella, a fried potato, sour cream, ranch dressing, carrots, celery, and a basket of hot wings/things (http://www.yelp.com/bi..., http://www.yelp.com/bi...). The regular sampler is missing the potato, I think. I ate the entire thing in one sitting and could just feel the fat migrating to my thighs. You have a choice of sauces which range from mild to suicide (http://www.yelp.com/bi...). There's also a very spicy sauce which may or may not be spicier than suicide... The spicy has just the right amount of heat to tickle your tongue without overdoing it. Wings Things also has hamburgers, popcorn chicken, and baklava for dessert.Atmosphere: Kinda ghetto. They were blasting VH1 on the tv mounted in the corner of the room so I got to watch Celebrity Fit Club and Flavor of Love while pigging out. The bathroom also warns you to not lean on the sink (because it's basically about to fall off the wall as evidenced by the excessive amount of caulk lining the wall/sink junction desperately battling gravity).Service: Insanely slow. You have to ring the bell on the counter to get someone to come out and after you've ordered your food it'll take an eternity for them to fry it up. The wait is worth it if you're a hot wing lover. Synopsis: Good for the hot wing enthusiast's stomach. Not so good on the heart. Actually, probably not good for either in the long run, but I'd still go.

I came here and got the #6. Which is the zesty chicken breast which comes with your choice of fries or rice as well as some bread.mmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmm that chicken was delicious! Full of flavor!!! It really is zesty!They also give you this punch card that is good for a free drink after 5 visits and a free meal (up to 8 bux) after 10 visits.

seriously, this place needs to have 349283590283 more reviews. the food is awesome. these guys really know how to fry/cook/bake whatever. every time i order from here i'm always satisfied. normally i hate crinkle fries because i think they're soggier than the regular shoestring ones, but these were really good and crispy! the wings were good and the burgers were surprisingly good as well! even if you order delivery, the food gets there UNSOGGY and still HOT. which is A LOT more than other places. prices are reasonable as well.

I've tried a multitude of this places fried items, my favorite being the deep fried mushrooms. Heavy, but delicious. Usually a good way to end a night, since you'll probably be in a food coma after trying completing one of the fried entrees/appetizers.As for the wings in themselves, I'd recommend going to someplace else. Wingstop... or even Denny's. The wings were definitely lacking. Sauce was weak, and the chicken in itself wasn't particularly good either.They do have a hooka lounge in the back porch though. Have yet to explore it, so any updates on it would be great.The guys in charge of it are chill, and though you're not going to be "outstanding" customer service, what do you really expect from a place called "Buffalo Wings Things."Good "things", a little lacking on the wings.
