Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Owner made a racial comment stating that "majority of black people that come in are high, so he must have been high"... when someone grab the wrong bag after being handed the bag. WHAT ! I will never eat there again.

I have been eating here since they opened and it was always delicious. I have not been in a few years but went back three times this year. Each time I ask for extra crispy and they never are. The wings also seem to not...be shaken in the sauce anymore. It seems they sprinkle the sauce over the top. Many of the wings are partially sauced. This is no where near as good as they use to be!! Please start shaking the wings in the sauce again and cook them extra crispy when asked. Go back to the old way Crickets use to do the wings. I have also not seen the original owner and her husband on the three visits.More

My 9 Jun 22 visit was not the best. My wings were so hard that I could not eat them. The ranch used to be delicious...now not at all. It has a after taste that takes away from the overall taste of the wings and...fries. I know that times are hard but with the rising prices we need quality food still. If not, you will lose customers.More

This is a hidden gym but well worth the drive. It is off the beaten path in a small shopping center. Not what you would expect but love eating here. The wings are terrific. Take the drive and enjoy.

We have gone here numerous times and never had one bad experiences no matter how packed with customers. Highly recommend you all give...it a try if you haven’t. Definitely a thumbs up!More

We eat here at least 2-3 times a month and the last several visits have not been up to standard. It seems that since the owners handed over the reins to the new managers or owners things keep going south. The quality of the wings...have been poor (tiny and overcooked). Service is inconsistent. There are a couple servers that are excellent no matter what. Need to do better turning over the tables instead of leaving trash on multiple tables sitting. Come on Cricket’s! Get it together.More

Cricket's is the go to place for Wings at lunch... You must get there early or you'll have to wait in line. Service is very good and the wing's are very good and served with fries. They also have Burgers, Ribs, Chicken sandwiches, salads and...Chicken Tenders, but most people go for the wings.More

great food and service....one of the only places I've seen people run across the parking lot at opening time so they can get a seat. Food is great,Prices are getting on the high side for cheap eats but I think that is happening everywhere.

After seeing that Cricket's was a top-rated local spot, with burgers to rave about, I decided to take my wife, (who is the burger-eater of the family), there for a lunch on a Wednesday. The place was jamming and getting an open table was a...bit of a challenge. There is no one, or any signs, to explain to guests to sit first, or to wait to be seated, so we stood around looking lost until another guest was nice enough to tell us to go find a seat. We were finally waited on by a friendly server, who brought us menus and took our drink orders. My wife ordered the "Big Burger" and I ordered the chicken club. The burger was good, but nowhere as good as advertised by their revues. The chicken club was also good, but very average. They have small one-person restrooms, which are almost always occupied, so I wasn't able to use one before leaving. The price, $25.00 + tip, was definitely too high for the quality and quantity of food, and for the cramped and semi-chaotic atmosphere. There are just too many other "great" places to eat, with more-competitive pricing for us to go back.More

Tiny, itty bitty, microscopic wings. I was so mad at the size of the wings. I got 12 wings with a side salad and the bill was $15.05. The cost to product value was ridiculous. Everyone raves about this place. Nah, they just have poor...taste or don’t realize other local wing values. Will NEVER be back. Greedy prices for sub par food. Go to bishops for wings or wings to go in Madison. Hell, I’ll get Walmart wings before this place from now on.More

I love this place...it’s good for dine in (it’s small and always busy) or take out. The wings aren’t big and meaty, which I know some people like, but they are crispy and not at all fatty, which I like. I also usually replace my...fries for a salad and go with the ginger dressing. It is exceptional and made right there in the restaurant. Besides the wings, their burgers are awesome...truly. It’s always a struggle for me to decide if I’m going to get wings or a burger because they are both equally delicious. What’s never a struggle is deciding to eat at Cricket’s.More

Went to crickets for the first time a few weeks back. Probably the best wings I’ve eaten at a restaurant. Wings are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, would highly recommend the honey gold sauce. Cheese fries where awesome as well, would...highly recommend eating here!
