Worst service. Great if you like aggressive and lazy bartenders bullying you. I called for take out and was told to call the bar. I did so for 30 mins. and after no answer I decided to go there instead. My friend and I arrived 15 mins. til closing and asked to see a menu for take out food. Bearded tattooed man tossed the menu at me and went on to talk to other people. After a while he came back with an obvious solid attitude and frowned face. Due to his obvious mean look I asked if it was ok to get food and he replied it was ok. My friend and I ordered a beer each while waiting for the food. That would had been our first beer of the night after a long day at work. As we were displaying our IDs my friend got distracted by a random drunk person trying to get his attention and took and extra second to show his proof of ID. He is 25 and I am 35 years old. At this point bartender gets obviously angry and refuses to sell us the beer stating that he will do anything to make his point across. I guess my buddy was to slow showing his ID. I asked the bartender calmly (I was making sure I was calm cause I didnt want him messing with our food) to lower his tone that there was no reason to shout. I told him that we still take our food. He refused to even sell us food and told us to go to Ruckus were they had good pizza. I couldnt belive this was happening. While the bartender was arguing I looked around and all eyes in the bar were on him. That is how loud this antisocial bully was!

Service is consistently between bad and terrible, crinkle-cut fries are pretty typical, but wings and sauces are really good. My last experience there is exactly that: the last. The wrong flavored wings were brought out, but that flavor was good so I was happy enough. A few minutes later the waitress picked up my plate while I was eating to sniff/inspect my wings which was a little odd then she brought a cup of another wrong sauce to dip the wings in, instead of getting the kitchen to make new wings with the right sauce. Finally, she got a pretty bad attitude when we asked why we were charged extra for dressing with the wings that we didnt want. Despite the food being pretty good, it was a very unpleasant experience and we will not be going back.

This is for the Avent Ferry location. There is an award for best customer service in Raleigh hanging on the wall. My question is: Who even thought to vote ba da wings? Was this vote rigged? Did the voters actually visit this location? The people working are 9 time out of time high out of their minds, deliver take over an hour and food in house takes forever as well. The workers take more smoke breaks they they sauce wings. I am amazed at how long this store has even remained open. If it wasnt for the Bar (which is, unlike the restaurant,an amazing local divey bar with great bar tenders) this place would be closed. Dont risk salmonella or any other food borne bacteria and stay away from ba da wings!

We had a group event with 50 plus people and they provided us with non detailed receipts with a blank for the tip. The non detailed receipts did not indicate that the tip had already been included, almost as if they were attempting to bait double tips.... Needless to say, this is very disappointing when the overall party bill was hundreds of dollars!!!! We will not be returning to Bada soon, and if we do we will be very careful of whether tip has already been backhandedly included or not... The service was good and the food was good but this was so sneaky it made me not want to return, which says a lot because I never write negative reviews.

First time having wings there and I was expecting much more from the reviews. I got two pounds of the jumbo wings with Ba-da-bang and Cajun teriyaki sauces. The wings itself arent jumbo as stated but rather just your standard leg and wing drumettes . (I know its marketing but its super annoying). The sauces were ok but nothing special or better than BW3. Ba-da-bang wasnt a standard buffalo sauce hot so get the next one up if you want some heat. Cajun teriyaki was just teriyaki. The staff was very nice, and hustling and the place had the neighborhood feel to it so Ill probably stop in for drinks, but I wont be getting wings again.

This was my visit to this restaurant (I went with a former colleague of mine and he said it is the best). Well, it was the BEST! Great staff, great food, and a relaxing atmosphere. We each had a wrap and some boneless wings as an appetizer---they were prepared nicely and the taste was superb! I will definitely go back--in fact some friends and I are going back tonight. If you like wings with lots of in-house prepared sauces, this is the place. Tonight, well be enjoying some spirits with our wings and wraps----and those prices, along with the price of the food is very reasonable! You will not be disappointed.

Ordered boneless wings off orderup. Pros: - Sauce is zesty/tasty Cons: - Boneless Chicken wing skin is like leather, It tastes like its burnt/overcooked/unclean oil. What should be a nice refreshing crunch of batter is met with an unsatisfactory bitter flavor. 1 of 2 wing places that delivery, but they seriously gotta do a better job on the coating.. The breast meat itself is sort of tender, but sometimes I run into chewy pieces in the middle. I end up having to buy extra sauce to cover up the chicken flavor. Most likely wont order from here till quality improves or a quality review says otherwise.

This was my first trip to this place, and I will tell you. Im going back!. I dont know if it was the fact that I was hungry of if the food was just that good. I had the Ba Da Wings (sweet & hot). Rarely do I find a wing flavor that gets it just right. My son had the sweet bbq and we couldnt stop licking our fingers. They could have cooked the wings a little less but they were DELICIOUS nonetheless. Even the salad was good. I will be revisiting this place again. Maybe when Im not so hungry to see if this is the rating it deserves. lol

I was highly disappointed in the food I purchased today. I ordered 6 boneless buffalo wings and small cheese fries. Some of the fries were hard on the inside like they were microwaved and didnt cook all the way through. The wings tasted as though the were frozen and placed in the microwave and covered in buffalo sauce. I wasted $13 on this food. I could only make myself eat 2 wings and about 6 fries before I had to throw it out. It was horrible. First time I ate at this place and it will be the last. Very disappointed.

Best wings in town. They have tons of sauces and will go out of their way to create a combo of sauces for you if youre interested. Try the "D-Sauce". You wont be disappointed. Great bar with a good atmosphere and good beer on tap. They dont waste 4-5 taps on crappy college beer and tend to focus on a range of local and micro brew offerings along with some good national brands. Most of their bartenders are really good at what they do and the service is very good. It doesnt take much to become a regular here.
