    Review

    Wings and Things in Brevard County has earned a reputation that splits opinion in the best possible way: the wings themselves are consistently praised, and many guests swear they're among the best you'll find in town. Across the board, the wings are described as well seasoned, crispy, sauced just right, and a standout part of the menu. Several reviews call them the best wings around, with one note that the wings might be some of the best in Brevard, and others credit flavors ranging from garlic Parmesan to extremely hot varieties. A number of patrons specifically applaud the wings for their texture and the overall wing experience, sometimes pairing them with praised greens and mac and cheese that they say actually have flavor.

    There's a recurring theme of excellent customer service on some visits. Some reviewers highlight staff who made the experience "on point," with energy, friendliness, and welcoming vibes that even extended to fellow servers who contributed to a good atmosphere. One positive account thanked a gentleman who took the order with grace and respect, and several guests remarked about the warm, inviting energy when they walked in. A frequent sentiment is that when the service is good, the dining experience is markedly better, and a strong part of that comes from individual servers who deliver enthusiasm and attentiveness - sometimes making the whole evening enjoyable and memorable.

    But the flipside is clear and persistent: service can be inconsistent. A number of reviews recount rude or inattentive servers who failed to greet guests, didn't check back, or simply didn't provide the level of courtesy expected. Some guests say long waits, missing items, or miscommunications between online orders and what shows up when they arrive are common enough to affect regulars' impressions. There are explicit complaints about to-go experiences, substitutions without confirmation, and policy friction that leaves customers frustrated - ranging from being told to "bring it back" for fixes to being told managerial help isn't available when asked. These experiences underscore a real strain on consistency, even when the food itself is frequently praised.

    The food quality beyond the wings is a mixed bag. While greens, mac and cheese, and other sides receive high marks from some diners, others describe bland greens, a "weird" taste in mac and cheese, or a ranch that isn't house-made. Fries and other accompaniments aren't immune to criticism - some guests report undercooked or soggy fries, or sides that don't live up to the level of the wings. One review even suggested taking the coleslaw off the menu entirely because it was disliked. Even more mixed feedback around sides shows up in comparisons of different visits: on some nights the meal components hit in harmony, while on others the flavor and texture of the non-wing items let the overall experience down.

    Pricing and perceived value are frequent talking points as well. Several reviews acknowledge strong wings and good flavors, but caution that the price can be steep. Comments include wings that cost around $34 for 20 with a questionable tipping expectation for to-go orders, and a broader sense that the "deal" isn't really a deal anymore. Some diners praise the affordability versus other places in the area, noting the best prices they've seen, while others feel the wings are overpriced for what's delivered, especially when the service dips or mistakes occur. A notable grievance mentions a $1.80 card fee and dissatisfaction with how payment disclosures were handled, leading to an impression of less-than-transparent pricing.

    In the end, what stands out is a place with tremendous potential and a proven crowd-pleasing core: the wings. For many, the wings are reason enough to return, especially when a server like Celeste or other staff members deliver a warm, energetic experience. For others, the same location can leave you frustrated due to inconsistent service, order errors, or pricing quirks that eclipse the food's positives. The consensus is clear enough: Wings and Things is worth a visit for the wings and the occasional standout service, but prospective guests should be prepared for variability in the dining room experience and to be ready to navigate occasional missteps with orders and pricing. It's a place that has earned loyal fans who keep coming back for the wings, while also inviting management to address the recurring service gaps so that the full package matches the high-flying flavor.
