Absolutely one of the best burgers in town. The wings are a great addition. You will not leave hungry.

I’ve been visiting Crickets for 20 years and it is consistently the best. The wings are crispy and tasty but the staff is fabulous and for those reasons, yes, sometimes you have to wait but IT IS WORTH IT! Frustrates me when I see 2 star reviews because you have to wait for a table. The service is fast and this the turn over and out the door time is less than most restaurants. Food is great and staff is friendly. This is a 5 star and if you don’t want to wait, go somewhere else!

They just might have the best wings in the city. The combo is a great deal, the service is fast and friendly, and there is plenty of seating. Pro-Tip: If you like a little kick with your buffalo wings, go with Hot or higher. Mild has zero spice and Hot is more like a mild. Also, you can mix flavors.

The daily special 12 crispy fried wings n fries with hot hot sauce was perfect for splitting with my gal- service was prompt on a Tuesday nite- moderately busy ! Atmosphere is casual . Burgers and ribs also on the menu. domestic beer.

I'm from Tampa and every time I come to visit family my brother brings me here to get some wings. I walk in we take our seats and the staff is always friendly and inviting. The sweet tea is delicious and the wings are always fantastic. Great portions and great flavors. I will return at some point again.

If you want the best finger food in town this is the place, the wings will knock your socks off and the service is outstanding. Best place in HSV.
