WingStop


121 Curtner Ave
San Jose, CA
95125
(408) 275-9464


WingStop is located in the new development called The Plant. It is off Monterey road in San Jose across from the old cemetery. My wife and I stopped by there for some late night munchies.

The decor is a bit weird, they have pictures of old aircrafts posted everywhere, but the building structure itself is very modern. There are some tables where you can sit and eat one of the many selection of wings. It has a bit of cold industrial feeling to everything, that I just could not shake.

They do have a large selection of chicken however. You can get the standard chicken wings or get the boneless chicken strip. They had everything listed on a menu as you come in. You can have the sauces mixed in with the wings or on the side. I opted for the lemon pepper chicken, and the garlic parmesan chicken wings. I also ordered french fries and their bourbon bake beans. We had to wait for a bit as the chicken was made fresh to order. The lemon chicken was a bit dry, and the taste was okay, but was nothing special. The garlic parmesan was actually pretty tasty, but they used grated parmesan, so you may think you are consuming powdered chicken.

The sides were okay. The french fries tasted like the standard french fries. They are the thick kind you find in most places these days. The bourbon bake beans were not bad, but they put too much alcohol. The alcohol overpowered the sweetness of the beans. If they would just dial down the alcohol a notch or two, they I think you can really taste the beans.

They had other wings listed, but I was not in the mood to taste all of them. I do give them extra bonus points for staying open till 12:00 am. In San Jose there are not many places you can go get snacks late night.

Final Thoughts: Okay place for wings if you have a craving.
