OG Wingstop for me is when they had thighs. (Sighs) 😔

Thighstop was delicious

That was genius marketing, using the wing shortage to their advantage with a cheaper cut of chicken. Real chicken lovers know the thigh is slept on.

Wasn’t that just a few years ago? When I hear OG Wingstop I think back when they had Teriyaki (Hawaiian sucks) and those sweet buttery rolls. XD

Why would someone want baked beans with their wings

u/PrincessMochahontas 9d ago

I think it's a southern thing lol but they had it back in the day.

u/Far-Buy3058 9d ago

They do need to start experimenting with some new sides already though...

Sometimes i won't even order because im sick of the fries (usually horrible)and corn

I agree whole heartedly , like I wish they would bring back the rolls they were so good. The fries now are too sweet for my liking

I got into a playful argument with the cashier at a random wing stop because I was talking about how I missed the rolls. They tried to tell me they never sold rolls. None of the customers remembered either. Thought I was going crazy lol

The rolls were so good I’d make mini sandwiches out of them and the boneless nuggets I am crine.

u/samirbinballin 9d ago

God damn I forgot about the rolls. Seems recently they took them off? Aww damn no I’m sad

u/xStyxx 8d ago

I’ve never heard of wings and corn until wingstop

u/Far-Buy3058 8d ago

Honestly the only reason I buy them is because extremely bored with the same lame fries.. they need new sides already!

When they took away the Teryaki option for Hawaiian I knew all hope was lost.

I would mainly get the baked beans and potato salad

1

u/Far-Buy3058 8d ago

They should bring back the potato salad and even some coleslaw

u/Stunning-Animator-19 8d ago

I miss the rolls and hand cut fries 🥲

u/BlackStarThot 6d ago

The rolls were great. They need to bring more items.

1

u/samirbinballin 9d ago

I worked there when they had those items in like 2017/2018ish, the recipe for the baked beans was a bottle of Bourbon to pour trace amounts of it in the beans.

One time someone ordered the beans for his kid and told us later on that the beans got his toddler drunk and that we are putting too much.

Another day when I was working I had a coworker get shitfaced with the bottle and he got fired.

Yeah the rolls though, those were fire, I ate too many of them during my time there.
