I am always on the search for the "best wings" so using trusty YELP as my guide, I was directed to "WingBucket" in the heart of Downtown Dallas. Parking was a pain, lets be clear. If you are not one of the thousands of people who work in the area, this is not going to be easy for you. It was quite obvious that this place is setup to be a "lunch stop" for the countless workers at various office buildings in the area. It took me 30 minutes to find a parking spot, finally on the 8th floor of a public parking garage nearby. $2 to park, and a 5 minute walk to the WingBucket. I caught Pokemon on the way. Inside, the place was bustling with energy and business. You wait in line here, place an order at the counter (WingStop Style) and sit at a table. I was shocked that my food arrived less than 4 minutes from when I cooked it, they obviously have some stuff pre-prepared, or at least pre-cooked. Because I knew I would be writing this review, I ordered wings, ribs and chicken strips. Thats everything they have. lol. Basically. Wings - 5/10. These wings are "condor style" which means the wing and the drum are connected. Makes for a HUGE wing. Means that 4 wings is actually 8. I hate wings like this. You have to pull them apart, often getting sauce on your clothes in the process. The wings were absolutely average at best, the "Volcano Sauce" was like a mix of Sriracha and Buffalo. Not bad, not great. Chicken Strips - 8/10. These were some AMAZING chicken strips. I got them dry but you can get a dipping sauce for them. Huge, plump, filling. If I were a normal person 2 of them would fill me up. But I am not normal. I am a monster. Ribs - 5/10 - I just ordered one, but it was HUGE. The sauce was good, but in a city full of epic BBQ, these ribs were right in the middle. The restaurant was clean, the staff was helpful and kind. I liked the vibe. The food didnt really impress me. I will check it off my list of wing destinations, but might be worth a stop if you happen to be in downtown around lunch time.

We were DT Dallas for a Mavs game and wanted to get wings from a non-chain restaurant. The place is a roomy setup with bar stools, booths, and table seating. Plenty of televisions around. We got 10 wings and sides and our the food was pretty prompt. These wings are whole and not segmented between the drumstick and the flat wing - Im guessing to save on cost. They should consider serving the wings with scissors so they can be dissected properly. The flavor of the wings were palatable but the texture was beyond sub-par. These wings are not deep fried with a crunchy, hard exterior. The difficulty of eating an entire wing added to the fact that this place has soggy wings is enough to make me leave a review for future guests. The manager went by to everyones table 3 times to offer service EXCEPT our table... Coincidence? Me thinks no. Regrettable service and bad wings, yeah that deserves one star.

I had lunch here back in April. We were in town for a conference and had just left the convention center to do some sightseeing and grab some lunch. Basically we could smell the chicken from a block a away and our lunch decision was made. Upon arriving there was a line inside almost to the front door, however it moved pretty quickly. I ordered a 4 piece of tenders with General Taos Asian Fused Teriyaki sauce along with some fries and a soda. After taking a number, the food was delivered to my table a few moments later, and the rest is history. The tenders were large and plentiful and the sauce was great. A place like Wing Bucket would do very well in my neck of the woods back in Virginia.

Was my first time eating here. Great service! Good food! Serene environment! Loved it! But may I suggest an idea to label the orders please. I went out with couple of friends and we all ordered different flavors according to "heat flavor levels", but when they brought the orders, we didnt know which was which, so we kind of just shared everyones. Personally, dont like eating spicy food, now imagine, sinking my teeth into a Rate 10 hot chicken wing, one of my buddies had ordered...yeah, not pretty. So Wing Bucket, please do us a favor and do this for peeps like us. Thanks. Overall, nice place to hang out.

Simple, straight forward menu - lots of flavor choices. Comfortable atmosphere. Friendly and accommodating staff. I did come in mid-afternoon on a Sunday - so it may be much more crowded than I experienced. It was, however, exactly what I needed after a 3 hour drive. I am much more a small-to-mid sized town person, so after arriving at downtown Dallas in all its concrete overwhelming-ness... This was a welcome relaxation. Had the fried chicken sandwich, the WBs dry rub and side of sauce (I chose volcano) with loaded mashed potatoes and a drink. All good!

The first time trying this place and I instantly became obsessed! I went back the very next day!!! The atmosphere is great and so is the music. Of course you need music while youre digging into your food. It sets the mood, lol. The chicken is delicious! I had the Honey Chipotle wings and the Volcano wings with the seasoned fries. They were delicious! I came back the next day and tried the Orange Ginger wings with the lemon pepper fries! They were so satisfying! I will be back soon!

Ive been here around 8 times and have always gotten the tenders (hint, I keep coming back). Just tried the ribs, and I think Ill start incorporating them in regularly! Its a little pricey, especially compared to the dirt-cheap prices they opened with. But, again, I keep coming back! I dont personally prefer their wings. And I like Raising Canes tenders more overall, but you cant beat the variety of flavors in the tenders here--which makes for a good change of pace.

First of all best wings ive ever had, second the place is amazing and if you dine outside youre litteraly next to the bank of america plaza (big green building) in downtown, the service was amazing, first timer there and one of the workers showed me where to go and the waiting time is amazing, only waited about 10/15 minutes and my food was out to me, really huge wings but the taste of them is just unexplainable , was my first time but certainly not my last

Today was our first time here... We never thought to investigate and ended up here on a whim. As it turns out, the only good thing about this place was the beer and our friends good company. The manager took our order and never thought to mention that 30 wings were perhaps too many for 4 people- we assumed that the wings were smaller. The flavor of the food was subpar. What deception and disappointment we felt as we walked out with 5 to-go boxes...

Best chicken and waffles Ive had in Texas. You have to try this place. The wings are very large so one person shouldnt need more than 3 or 4 pieces. They also have the new freestyle drink machine which I love. Relaxed atmosphere and the restrooms are clean and modern. The only downside to this place is that the loaded baked potatoes are pre-made so you have to have everything on it; but that doesnt mean they arent great.
