First time ordering and the wings was seasoned perfect. I will definitely come back and order from Uncle apps. The garlic and the sweet and spicy wings was recommended by staff. Great recommendation.

Food was fresh and hot! The only feedback I have is to make the drive through more apparent. I have to make a u-turn twice to figure out how it worked.

If you're on the hunt for incredible wings and fries, look no further! This restaurant delivers an unbeatable combination of flavor, value, and service. The wings are simply next-level—perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with mouthwatering flavor. And the fries? Golden, crispy, and seasoned to perfection, making every bite unforgettable. Beyond the food, the service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and impressively quick! I never felt rushed, yet my food arrived in record time. To top it all off, the portion sizes were incredibly generous, especially considering how little I spent. It's rare to find a place that serves up such high-quality food at such a great price. Although I only tried the wings and fries, I wouldn’t hesitate to come back and explore more of their menu. If the rest of the food is anything like what I had, I know I’m in for a treat. Highly recommended for anyone craving amazing comfort food without breaking the bank!

This was my second time eating from Uncle Apps. The lemon pepper wings that I had today were delicious! The first time I indulged was good, but these were banging! The rub is smooth and tangy at the same time leaving you wanting to get just one more! Fist pump Uncle Apps.
