"the original" is the best and i have to tell folks this all the time. this is the one in north b'ham. i've been goin there since i was a lil girl and my hair dresser worked next door in the same building complex. great wings with hot greasy fries! they're not open on mondays and you can't get in there before 1pm on other days. if you can wait until they open it's well worth the wait for these imfamous wings!!!
