A Little Taste of Home
I moved to the city almost a year ago and the one thing I miss about my hometown (Niagara Falls/Buffalo) are the wings! Atomic Wings is the only place in NYC that comes the closest to the wings in Buffalo. Highly recommended!!!

Best in The City
Ever since the new ownership in July 2007 this place has really started to excel. They renovated the place and the wings are the best in NYC. Surprisinly enough the Burgers are pretty good as well especially with the BBQ or Jerk BBQ sauce.

WOW - Exceeded Expectations
Atomic Wings is great. Truly a rare find. If you don't want typical fast food and you don't want to spend $15.00 for lunch - RUN to Atomic Wings for terrific burgers (I swear - best in city) amazing fries, homemade daily soups - my favorite is their "Crab Chowder" Friendly service - clean, spotless Restaurant - Only gets better and better

To me, finding crispy wings are like trying to find a flattering article written about Britney Spears.  The two don't exist.  However - Atomic Wings has proven me wrong.  I always order wings with sauce on the side so I can control the hotness, and Atomic Wings takes crispiness one step further.  They deliver wings with tin foil lining the styrofoam container, so they have crackly skin and juicy meat every time.

Their wafer fries are not to be missed, with thick "this is going straight to my hips" cheese.

I'm a wimp with spice, so I have no clue just how hot their sauces are as I order mild each time.  Delivery is always quick but they're nice to give you a head's up if they're really busy.  Location at 60th and 2nd is great, too.

Jessica Simpson, eat your heart out: This popular wings spot sports no buffalo meat -- just eight scrumptious varieties of Buffalo (as in the city upstate where they originated) chicken wings. Catering to the true connoisseur, these wings are prepared the same way as at the Anchor Bar, where they originated in 1964. If you believe yourself to be sane, stick with the mild, medium or hot varieties. For the true masochist, however, there are the "abusive," "nuclear," or "suicidal" versions. Or just eschew the hot spice altogether and get honey-mustard or barbecue wings. For lighter fare, the Chicken Littles are not fried and are jazzed up with everything from horseradish dip to sweet-and-sour sauce. Also on the menu are grilled-chicken-breast sandwiches and burgers (including veggie varieties). And unlike other Manhattan joints, wafer-style fries actually come with that burger.

I was skeptical at first - but I was so happily suprised at how great the food is here. Really freshly made and well presented. Atomic Wings is that rare chain that makes you feel that you discovered this secret gem. I have eaten at the place many times and have gotten delivery a few times and I have never been disappointed. Service is always friendly, delivery is always quick and food is always hot and perfect.

these guys have the best wings ever. went in for their 'suicidal' level of hotness, and even though i was returning to their water cooler every bite, i couldn't help but finish...

Pros: quick delivery, friendly servers

Cons: suicidal hotness is... well, suicidal

Ohhhhh boy! We can't express the excitement and craving that we now have knowing that finally Brooklyn has its very own Atomic Wings. We've envied Manhattanites for the longest time... hell, even Jersey City had one! But now, we can saunter down onto 9th St between 5th and 6th Avenues and get ourselves a bucket of Nuclear wings, lock ourselves away with a case of beer and just... ok, maybe just one order of wings to start. But now we can go Atomic and not even have to leave our beloved borough!



Atomic Wings Opens 'Roided-Up Park Slope Location

Atomic Wings has opened a Park Slope location, the first of the chain's forays outside of central Manhattan (locations are also coming to Harlem and Jersey City). This is a primo step up - check out the leather (and hopefully grease- and hot-sauce-resistant) club chair. Plus there are four large flat-screens fully loaded with Pay-Per-View's NFL Ticket package, and Internet stations so you can hit up some porn, dude!!!! catch up on your reading of the National Review.
