First time in. Very nice staff and likely the owner greeted us and gave us the rack of sauces for tasting- nice touch! We sampled many until we each found our favs! We shared a 20 pc meal (comes with fries and 2 drinks) and an additional side of onion rings. 50 tip and really was enough for 3-4ppl. We had the Bone-in wings and they were sauced, not dry, with extra sauce underneath. We chose Mountain Berry and Shanghai Sizzle. We enjoyed them! Garlic Fries were really tasty but could have been just a bit crispier (my personal taste but still great). Onion rings were good. It is counter service, free soda refills, and we liked the sports theme w/o the bar feel- though the is a bar. Lots of TVs and nice covered patio, too. Will return on movie nights (next to Cinemark)!

We were delighted with our dining experience at Golden Flame! Betsy was so sweet and helpful, as this was our first time eating here. We appreciated the ability to taste test the different sauces prior to placing our order. The atmosphere is the perfect mixture of laid-back and upbeat bar. We ordered the Dinner for Two and got 4 sauces (Shanghai, Mountain Berry, Surge, and BBQ Blaze), as well as the Mile Hi fries. We will absolutely be back!

I wasn't expecting much from another wing spot, but I'm happy to be surprised. This place has top notch wings and awesome fresh fries. Their sauces are varied and unique, which stands out in comparison to other places. To top it all off, their staff are very friendly and great to talk to. You need to check this place out!

If you are looking for an all around great wing and fry place this is it. I love that you can try the sauces on the spot. Especially if you are in the mood to switch up from your regularly go to flavor. As the employee suggested the the Mountain Berry sauce is amazing and yes a bottle of it came home with us. And did I mention the fries are fresh cut fries. Amazing.

If you're craving the best hot wings around, look no further than Golden Flame Hot Wings! From the moment I walked in, the experience was nothing short of fantastic. The wings themselves are absolutely mouthwatering—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the flavor? Pure perfection! Whether you like it spicy or sweet, Golden Flame has something to suit every taste. But what truly sets this place apart is the incredible staff. Betsy was an absolute gem to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure our experience was top-notch, providing friendly service with a smile. The rest of the staff was equally amazing—attentive, kind, and all-around wonderful. It’s clear that they truly care about their customers and take pride in delivering a great experience. Golden Flame Hot Wings isn’t just about great food—it’s about the whole experience. I’ll definitely be coming back for more of those amazing wings and the fantastic service! Highly recommend!

I have been here three times recently for takeout and it has been great every time. Best wing place in town probably. The menu isn't huge and it contains mostly fried foods, but they do it very well and it's a nice treat to eat here. The wings are cooked perfectly with just a slight crispiness to the skin and they are the perfect size. There is a wide variety of sauces offered and the five or six I have tried so far have all been excellent. Most of the sauces I have had so far are on the sweet side and the Cajun dry rub is excellent as well. I only wish that they would allow multiple sauces for smaller orders as the minimum for getting two sauces is 15 wings. I wish it was an option to get 2 sauces with 10 wings. (This is based on my experience ordering online.) The onion rings may be among the best I have ever had and have a really thick fluffy beer batter coating and definitely worth the extra charge to substitute in place of fries. The side of onion rings contains enough to share probably. Every time I have gone in for the takeout orders the people working have been very friendly and helpful. Sometimes they even tell me about free drink specials that I didn't even know they had. I look forward to going back and hope to have time to dine-in some time.

Dropped by Golden Flame Hot Wings tonight with friends for Monday trivia, and it was fantastic! I had the grilled chicken wrap, which was delicious, and also sampled a few wings. Their menu offers a variety of options, from fried shrimp and different kinds of fries to fresh salads. Definitely give them a try! You can find them behind the mall near the movie theater.

My wings were so good!! You get to taste test sauce before ordering which is a plus! I ended up getting garlic dry rub(more like a seasoning) and bbq blaze ! The fries were awesome as well!!
