Very good wings

Aug 2020 • none

The wings are very good. The dry rub is unique with lots of flavor. The sides we tried were average- French fries were soggy, mac-cheese bites were Ok but the Jalepeno poppers were good. I would try the chicken again for sure.

Great wings - been here many years because of the outstanding wings

May 2024 • friends

Very casual - great wings, as others have mentioned, 1/4 chicken was ok but I wouldn't get it again. Potatoes also very good. Small parkilng lot next to the restaurant. This place is "locally popular because prices are modest and the wings are great.

The wings....nuff said.

Jul 2019 • couples

This is a great local joint. It will bring your mouth joy if you like this style of food. We used Doordash to bring us some wings. Oh my. They were crisp, juicy and on point. I recommend the sweet and sour sauce. We ate red beans and rice. Very flavorful and filling. We also had HoJo potatoes. Yum! I will be dreaming of these wings until I get more! Shout out to Art Song! RIP.

Great wings. My favorite of all time! If I had the money I would build a chain of Art Songs wing restaurants.

Love at first Bite

Nov 2018 • solo

Love the ribs and the chicken is to die for. I Would Have to Say the Chicken Looked Very Small and Solely relide on the fancy seasoning. I would definitely be trying them again to see anything different. Sides are okay also.

Large Rib tip dinner, Ok wings - quick service

Dec 2017 • friends

I stopped in and picked up a couple rib tip dinners($13 each) here the other night as I had a craving for BBQ. I read the reviews, so felt like i needed to get some wings as well. The portions are large, two people could probably split one rib tip dinner. While the portions are large, they are not the "Fall of the bone" type ribs I love, these where tasty pork ribs in a mild sauce that required plenty of gnawing to clean the bones. I had mine with Ho Jos and Mac N Cheese. Ho Jos are like an extra thick potato chip fries and you get a large potato's worth. They were alright, a couple had kind of a fishy taste as I'm guessing they are fried with the fish, then covered in seasoning. To be fair, fried potato's are never perfect when taken home to eat. I ordered the 3 wings($8) with some buffalo sauce to give them a try. They are large wings, and based on the price, they are proud of them... i thought they were OK... I love that this place is an institution that has been here a long time but may prefer Big Daddy's a little better.

Really good wings, different...

Oct 2017 • family

This place looks pretty nondescript, but the chicken wings are out of sight! Different... they taste & smell like they put garam masala in their spice mix. Very nice touch.

ART SONGS WINGS!!!!!

Jan 2017 • solo

Art Songs chicken wings! Need I say more? Best wings in the metro! Go on a Tuesday or Thursday when you can get a "bucket of 24" for a special price. They also use the seasoning on their rice. I haven't tried anything else on their menu. There are about a dozen tables inside. I call an order in for 24 wings and they're usually ready in 15 minutes. Sometimes I can't even make it home without nibbling on a wing or two.

Best Chicken Wings ever...

Feb 2016 • friends

This family owned business did not get a full 5 rating because I consider it a great dive of a place. This restaurant saved an old college college favorite that I used to visit in 1984-88, Art Song's wings...they bought the rights to Art recipe for chicken wings and it was awesome. Great value too! Again, I love dives and I would never give a dive a 5 star but the food is over the top. Cleanliness is also great. Go here and get the wings...THE BEST!

Amazing wings

May 2015 • none

This is a small no frills restaurant, but what it lacks in ambiance is more than made up by the food. Wings are their specialty and they are full wings with a dry rub seasoning. The hojo potatoes are also excellent. The restaurant was spotless and we were served by the owner who has been there for 17 years. We would absolutely go back and highly recommend it. The wings were outstanding.

Yay they were open

Was headed to big daddy's bbq (to pick up dinner for my son)but found them closed. So I was heading out of parking lot and thought I'd give them a try. Glad I did ribs tender and seasoned just right and not burned when grilled done very nicely, coleslaw needed help but the ribs were good tender and tasty. Will go back for sure
