Wings has a simple ambiance, very similar to Five Guys. The wall is adorned with articles praising the place. The tables and chairs are made of steel, and there is a paper towel holder roll on the table. The simple atmosphere and the paper towels indicates that the diner is in for some serious eating.
I ordered the paper airplane (7 wings), which is one of the cheaper offerings at Wings for $5.49. Though inexpensive, this is a very satisfying meal. These wings are more like a drumstick than a regular wing. They are extremely fresh, meaty and juicy. The chicken used is very high-quality. This is not your typical wing joint. Wings cares about serving you the freshest wings. They also have tons of sauces to choose from.
If you are looking for a satisfying and tasty meal, Wings is the place to go. This is not the place to go on a first date, but it is solid, quality food.

Gotta love WOA -- no place else has their variety of flavors. Plus, they deliver to Harriman campus -- win! (DOCS consultant here.)
I have never seen wings of such high quality served at a restaurant before WOA.
Well ... I spent 9 years in Rochester. Moving back to the Albany area fall of 2006, one of the toughest challenges I faced was finding the RIGHT wing. I still haven't found it, but I've found a few that come close: Paesan's (tend to be big and meaty, true jumbos, but the sauce is only so-so, and they're almost never done crispy), Roma (average meatiness, good sauce, GREAT crispiness on occasion), Jessica Stone's (good all around, nothing stunning) and WOA. The one dislike I have to voice about WOA is that they focus on breaded wings -- so I'm kind of scared to order it without breading, much less specifying "crispy" or "well done." The last time I did that someplace that didn't know what I was talking about, I ended up with crispy little burnt chicken bones.
Roma (in Latham) is my perennial favorite ... at least for the time being.
