Ba-Da Wings

Food options are diverse but they really focus on the wings.
You can get boneless but for traditional wings, these are by weight. Not anti-family but it is obvious that the restaurant is closer to a bar than a food restaurant.

I'm giving 5 stars to the service because they really hustle and try their best.
You might think the service is a little chaotic during busy times, but it is because more than one staff member is trying to ensure that you get your order placed and that you have what you need at all times.
I'd say they do very well.
The wings are good too! A pound of wings is about right for a 1 person light meal.
So if you want to share a pound, you will probably want to finish up with one of their delicious wraps, salads, or burgers.
Beer selection is very good for a local place.
They do have a very good variety of choices (10 or so) local and craft brews that are very good.
And there is always the mass market brews like Corona, Miller, PBR, etc.
I have been pleased by the promotions by the beer distributors giving away a few and some nice swag during the NCAA Tournament games.
Have been here several times now and it is a very good place to watch NC State basketball.
The only thing I would wish for is to not have the little hint of cigarette smoke getting in by the front door smoking area.
It isn't very objectionable to me but if you are especially sensitive, then it might be a problem for you.
Bottom line, I like the place and am glad to see a nice local dive bar that welcomes respectful newcomers and regular clientele alike.
And it is in a great location in North Raleigh.

It's sad to see what I can't believe negative reviews because they almost caused me to not go...
I'm glad I ignored them and went ahead to go. Wasn't in door 1 min before I was noticed by an employee which gladly told me I could sit anywhere I'd like.
Than wasn't at my table more than 1 min before an employee "wish I could remember all thier names" greeted me with a welcoming invite and menu with too many options of amazing looking food! I gave into my weakness of wings and had a generous 1lb order of the blackened Cajun wings.
They were a 5 Star!! I'd like to add to these negative reviews that I was visited multiple times by different servers and once bartender glimpsed at me, noticed my beer was empty and motioned if I'd like another than brought to me!! Upon leaving, each employee that served and greeted me remembered my name including one that turned out to be the mgr that wasn't sitting down watching but working and mingling with customers! The atmosphere was just so welcoming and relaxing.
I can't praise my impression of this place enough but it was well worth a 2 hr drive! I plead with you to ignore these negative reviews and just go give this place a visit! I feel you'll agree with me! Thank You to the entire staff there on my visit!!
