Anyways, I LOVE LOVE this place. The essence of what a sports bar should be, friendly staff, tv's, cheap beer, and the classic bar food done right at an affordable price. This place has some of the cheapest wings in town, 5 wings for $4 or 20 for $14! Crazy! and they have lots of difference sauces to choose from beyond the normal 3-4. Also, the wings are normal sized to large. Not hormone large, just right. (call me Goldilocks) I really give this place a 4.5 stars, the only issue I have is the dipping sauce they give ain't anything special. But, I'll round up because its a local business and I hope to encourage others to go.

So what is there to say about Clays except this... Go eat wings and drink cheap beer! If you're a wing person don't miss this spot, it's divey and definitely s smaller place but so worth it. Garlic Parmesan wings are too die for, the jerk chicken and the plain buffalo are great choices as well! The wings are above average size and so well prepared. The servers are awesome friendly and always keeping glasses full and iced! If you like bougey wing joints not for you, if you like classy sports bars it's not for you, but if you say hiked Kennesaw mountain and want casual wings and solid 7 dollar pitchers of cheap beer don't miss it! Seriously 20 wings ranch and blue cheese with a diet coke and beer, 20 bucks! So glad I found Clays!!

Best wings hands down!!!! Just make sure you order them crispy. Ugh! Love them!!!! Their flavored are always on point! Mild is mild, medium is medium, and hot is hot!!! They really know what they're doing! Oh! And make sure you order their Cajun fries! OMG yum!! I'm obsessed!

I was lucky enough to get wings and pizza at the original Anchor Bar in Buffalo back when it was still relatively pure (and in existence). Clay's comes closest to that warm, homey vibe with a clean, sharp taste out of all the dozens of wings places I've visited since. Not gonna pretend it isn't a dive -- it is, but in the best sense. Paint peeling and newspaper clippings from 1992 on the wall, small and in a strip center with all the charm of a bail bondsman or title pawn -- but clean, friendly, big wooden booths, and oh so good at what they do. (Bonus points for a projection screen TV still slinging pixels in addition to the smattering of flat screens around the room. Totally adequate for sports viewing.) Newcomers should start with the Buffalo basket ($9), at least one of you -- that nets you 10 wings, a mound of Cajun fries, celery and ranch or blue cheese. Protip: add an extra dressing (.50) for to have something to dip the fresh, addictive fries into as well, in addition. Yes. Do this. Otherwise, go wing crazy. Orders come in 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, and 100 count batches, with split sauces adding a whopping 50 cents per order. Which means you could get a veritable wing sampler platter of 20 wings in four sauces for like $20. Nuts. Saw one guy order 15 wings in three different sauces and the server didn't bat an eye -- in contrast to many joints I've been in over the years. The wings themselves are cooked right -- deep fried thru and then tossed in a thick coating of sauce. Pretty big wings too, can't imagine going beyond 15, maybe 20 tops. That's why I say a Buffalo basket and an order of 10, maybe 15 wings, is gonna cover most couples looking to get their wing on. The sauces are varied, but not multitudinous. Not so many choices so as to you lock up -- besides, spend the 50 cents and split the difference if you get stalled. Me, I went with the jerk, which had a great depth of flavor and applied in the proper copious amount, if a little mild for my taste. Clay's medium sauce is a classic Buffalo prep -- absolutely give it a taste to dial-in everything else. It is a nice hot, maybe hotter than some mediums out there, but not death. Also not too salty or chemical tasting -- that is ultimately the downfall of many wing joints. Didn't really explore my beer options here -- a Bud draft served the purpose, big cold, and cheap. They do roll pitchers here, even half-pitchers. Hell, I bet they'd do a quarter-pitcher and three wings, each in a different sauce. They give no damns and no drama at Clay's -- just wings, beer, eat. Tough combo to beat.

This is one of my go to wing spots in Atlanta. They never disappoint and are always crispy and delicious. Staff is nice, courteous and professional. Definitely the best wing spot for price, portion and quality. Good cold beer with fantastic prices. Pitchers always $7.99. Space is very limited and the big screen projection TV has definitely seen better days. Either way though, to go, pick up or delivery you can't go wrong here. I've been a loyal customer for over 8 years! Even driving 40 miles on some NFL Sunday's when living on the other side of town. This place for wing lovers is a diamond in the rough!

Chicken wings are one of my all-time favorite foods, so when I came across the many glowing Yelp reviews for Clay's Sports Cafe last year, I absolutely had to check it out. I have been there twice now, both times for take-out, since I currently live only about 10 minutes away. Definitely call ahead to place your to-go order, at least 15 minutes before you get there, but if it's a crazy day for sports and/or you are ordering a lot, you may want to call as early as possible. Lemon Pepper is typically my favorite flavor of wings, but I read that the Hot Ranch was a good one at Clay's. So I've ordered half of my wings Lemon Pepper and half Hot Ranch. Both times, I ended up thinking the Hot Ranch was WAY too salty. And it's rare that I think things are salty, so that's saying a lot. It will have you chugging water (or beer... maybe that's the point) the rest of the day to quench your thirst. Although the Lemon Pepper isn't the best I have ever had, it's very good. Not nearly as salty as the Hot Ranch. The 10-piece wing combo, which comes with Cajun fries, carrot sticks, celery sticks, and ranch (or Bleu cheese, but ranch all the way for me!) is a pretty great deal at a mere $8.49 (before tax). I have to admit the Cajun fries are delicious, but you have to eat them fairly quickly before they turn soggy. Since the wings are fairly large in size (not Taco Mac size but not small), I can make two meals out of the 10-piece combo. Or, I can share with the hubs. ;) As previously mentioned, I have not dined in so I can't comment as to the service. However, the place is pretty small, and the parking lot in front of the restaurant can fill up on a busy day. You may want to carpool if coming with a large group to watch a particular game on TV. Overall, Clay's Sports Cafe gets 3.5 stars for their good wings and Cajun fries. If you live in the Sandy Springs/Roswell Road area and are craving chicken wings, I would definitely recommend you check them out!

I absolutely love this place. My boyfriend and I have made a habit of going to Clay's for lunch. They have THE BEST wings. If you like spicy and you like adding lime or lemon to your food, then I recommend trying they're hot lemon pepper buffalo basket. Not only are they accompanied by some delicious Cajun seasoned fries with your regular ranch and celery but you can get a whole 10 piece meal with a drink for no more than $11. If you love wings don't look anywhere else, these will change your life.

Tyler K.
AWESOME wings!!! I have been eating here for almost 20 years, and it's one of the few places that's "as good as it used to be." Clay's brings wings and pizza to another level. Only reason it's not 5 stars is because the restaurant itself is kind of small and dumpy, but really, who cares when the wings are so good.
(4)
Josh H.
What a great place! Without yelp we would have never knew about this place. Wings were great and so was all the other food. I'm not sure if the food was the best then or when I just ate it for lunch the next day. It was so good both times. We live a hour away but I will be making the drive to sandy springs regularly after finding this place.

It is so depressing to be moving away from here. I'm actually going to go get wings there Friday night for dinner, and I'm sure I'll be back at some point this week, and then once the week after it's all confirmed I no longer live not even three miles away. SADNESS. Over time I have straight become a creature of habit here. Buffalo basket all day every day. For about a dollar more than just ten wings, you also get a heaping serving of cajun seasoned fries. 90% of the time I stick with my hot ranch wings, sometimes I switch it up with half them, half garlic parmesan. If you get them to go, they are even separated in the box. I love this place. I also may have used this as a first date spot for someone I met who also had just moved here and had asked for a suggestion of my favorite place. Yeah, goddamn right I'm brave for choosing a wing spot for a first date. Of course, we never saw each other again. He would text me. I would answer. And nothing. Come on, I introduced you to the best wings ever. Additionally on that trip I learned that half pitchers of beer are a thing! So if you want to have beer but you're the only one drinking/you're by yourself, you can have some beer without having all the beer. Also on this trip they messed up and gave me hot lemon pepper wings but they were so good too there was no way I was sending them back for being the wrong seasoning. I don't think they can do anything wrong here ever. I also discovered if you're just driving because you can't pick a food, then call over here to place a to-go order, Rag-o-Rama is the perfect place to browse while you wait. But that's another review I already wrote. Whenever I have the chance I will be here again.

Since my husband is a bigger fan of this place than I initially was, we've been back a couple of times and ordered delivery -- and I've become a fan too! Their prices are great, delivery is always prompt even when they say it's going to be an hour (rarely is for us) and the food arrives hot and fresh, even the meatball subs, which have become one of my faves and are only $6!!! It's a great deal. Their customer service on the phone whenever we order has been friendly. I love that they deliver!!

Safia A.
Delivery wings? Yes, please! Everything was delicious as you could have guessed and just the right amount of sauce to have with fries. The fries order is enough for two, cooked perfectly. The cheesy garlic bread wasn't that great though.

Jason D.
I'm a wing connoisseur (aka wing snob) and these wings are awesome! Amazing flavors. The wing is crispy and it's immersed in the sauce. You don't get a whole lot of left over sauce for dipping, but you don't even need it! Amazing prices. Well worth it!! Don't let the outside fool you - real deal!
(5)
Tres S.
The best wings in Atlanta. We had four different flavors of wings this past weekend and they were fantastic. Service was top notch and the atmosphere was great. This is a dive bar, but worth it. Clay's has earned my business. I see wings and college football in the very near future!

HANDS DOWN the best wings in Atlanta! Clay's isn't located in a glamorous location and if you aren't paying attention, you can easily miss it. It's located in an older shopping center next to a store that sells.... Lamps? The dining area has limited seating area, but my party of 2 (Jennider D. and I) found seating on a Saturday night, although this might change during a bigger game day. We split 20 wings and got 4 different flavors. Clay's charges an extra 50 cents per flavor, but it's worth it. You want to try multiple flavors. We ordered hot sauce, hot honey bbq, garlic ranch and lemon pepper, all which BLEW MY MIND. The hot sauce is tangy, delicious and full of flavor. Best hot sauce I've ever had. The lemon pepper is sour, yet crispy. Garlic ranch can be a hit or miss depending on who you are. It's a little salty, but know that going into it. The Garlic ranch wings are my favorite flavor. I will be coming back here as soon as I can to order more wings!

Wes T.
Best wings in Atlanta! All the sauces are made in-house. Recommend the honey mustard / hot honey mustard, cajun fries or fries add cheese and jalapeños (baked), pizzas, and everything on the menu!

This is no doubt the diviest place to earn a five-star review from me - but folks, Clay's Sports Cafe is very, very, VERY good at what it does. I've now been a handful of times - enough that the servers, who are always friendly and on point, have started to recognize me and learn my taste buds well enough to make terrific suggestions, including some off-menu delights. This restaurant is located in an unimpressive strip mall. To be quite honest, if I had not been meeting a friend the first time I went here, relying on her recommendation, I absolutely would never have stopped. There is nothing about the place, from the outside, that would make anyone want to stop in. Once you get past the door, that feeling continues. It looks cheap, it looks run down. But wait - what's that smell? That smell is the BEST WINGS IN ATLANTA, y'all. I have tried the medium (they're plenty hot, I promise,) the hot honey BBQ (delicious but a complete and utter mess,) the lemon pepper (the perfect blend of savory and heat) and the garlic Parmesan. It's really impossible to pick a favorite. If I had to, it might be the off-menu garlic ranch, a combo of two existing flavors. The salads are absolutely enormous and very fresh. I hear the pizza is great but I haven't made it past the wings yet! Domestic pitchers are only $7.99, and you really can't find a better place to hang out with friends and chat or watch a game. I have never had to wait for a table, I have never had any complaints about service, and the price is just right. Edward L. and I split 20 wings (4 flavors) and had one beer each and our tab was under $23 after tax!

Headed to Sandy Springs with Trader J's on my mind, stomach growling and wondered what should i eat!! Thanks to yelp, I pull up Clays sports cafe. Hmmm, Good reviews so im going for wings. Once inside i meet clay in a white collar shirt and place my order. 10 hot/Lemon pepper wings with a corona beer. He asked if i lived around there and I replied no. I placed my order, talked to Clay for a minute and told him why I was there, because of YELP. Clay said he knew about yelp, then poured my ice cold corona in a ice cold mug. I sat at a booth and waited. My order was to go, but Clay insisted that i try a wing before i left. The wings are medium size, crisp and sauced just right, it was so good i ate another. I gave him the Thumbs up and he asked what i liked most. He was very pleased and thanked me for coming so far just to try his wings. There are many things on the menu, typical bar food. Small bar but was pretty cozy. I will be back just know that!

The best wings ever. Period. I've never eaten inside but always order for pick up (I think they know us by name just by what we order lol). We've searched long and hard for a wing spot that wasn't overly expensive or supplying chicken that's the size of your fist (injected with only God knows what). Clay's is definitely the place we've always looked for. Try the honey lemon pepper wings. It's not on the menu but I asked if they could create it for me one day and they said sure! So now we order that every time

Don't judge this place by the outside or the inside for that matter. The wings actually have meat on them and there multitude of sauces means anyone can find a flavor they like. So far the best wing place in perimeter
I'll give them two stars because I know their food is good, but only if you eat in-house. I called to have food delivered. The guy was rushing me off the phone, didn't give me an estimated time of delivery and it took over an hour to get to my house. When it arrived, everything was cold. The only cold thing should have been the salad and sadly that was too warm. If you're going to eat there, be sure to go into the restaurant. Delivery service sucks and it makes the food just boring and worse than dirt.

The wings are good.. Most of the time. service is good if it's the owner. Don't order the pizza. I ordered my wings crispy, the server didn't put them in crispy she took them back to the kitchen to have them redone and then the cook fried the wings that had already previously been tossed with sauce. They brought the wings back burnt thinking I wouldn't notice that they were serving me burnt wings.

I had meaning to get here FOREVER.. I wanted to try the wings, I had heard (through the Yelpvine, mostly) that Clay's has some of THE BEST lemon pepper wings in the Atlanta area. Now I'm a fan of lemon pepper wings, and so just had to see for myself. I tried during a lunch-time World Cup game.. what am I thinking!? And finally, my chance! Dinner on Sunday. It was not overpacked, but their tables were just about full. They sat 2 of us at a booth that could fit 4-6, even though there was a 2 person table. I like booths, so that was cool. We ordered fast.. 10 lemon pepper wings with ranch please! I know what I like! They served them on the big round silver platter that you usually see a large piece of pizza or a pizza pie on. Super hot (temperature), juicy, fresh wings, for sure. The taste of the first bite was excellent, but as I ate, I realized there was a little bit too much lemon on 'em for me. I couldn't finish all in one sitting. I took 4 of them home and reheated in the oven, and it was back to a good balance of lemon-pepper. The place is as big as my 1-bedroom apartment and very.. green? and kinda dark ..but there are a ton of TVs - many more than are proportionate to its size as a bar. :) That's a good thing, I think! Also, saw ads for $7 pitchers of beer. A ton of people actually came in to pick up to-go orders while we waited, good sign. All in all, cool place.. I'll definitely be back to try the lemon pepper again.. and I was told to try Garlic Parmesan, too, which I need to do! Great place in Sandy Springs..

First time there and I must say that it was exactly what I thought it would be - a great place to watch the game (Hawks win to go to the Eastern Conference Finals!), eat some delicious wings and enjoy a cold beer ($8 pitchers!) A little divey, but clean and suitable. Think corner pub rather than full-scale restaurant... Wings were amazing. The medium flavor is closer to what other places might call hot, FYI... The MOUND of Cajun fries that come with the wing platter was just as delicious and could serve a small army. When it's busy, don't just wait by the door, let somebody know you're there so at least you'll have the next table if others should come in after you. That's the only failsafe way to assure any type of seating order. Anyway, definitely worth the visit! I'm going back to try the rest of the wing flavors! (I left a star off the rating because the bathroom needed some attention)

Went there at about 830pm yesterday. Place was packed with SouthCarolina Alumni and One waitress handling the whole place! Hats off to her and she did it with no stress on her face. Place was running great . The 3 of us sat down very quickly in the only booth left in the place. We ordered quickly and the food came out quick as well despite how busy it was. The wings were absolutely the BEST I have had ! I am 100% convinced from all the people talking at work about this place. TV's were a little fuzzy but it reminded me of how it was when I was in College as well as the 7.99 pitcher prices! Awesome that Clay is doing this! Suggestions: Knock the wall down next door for more room or buy it out and make this place huge! Your getting the business to do it so go for it man! Good job on the food and never lose sight of your food quality. People will come for the Wings no matter what and the fresh hot fries!! Go there and No I am in no ways affiliated with Clay nor do I Know him or his buddy.

Best chicken wings I've had in a while. I was introduced to this place from my co worker who raved about how great the wings were she brought some in one day and after that it was a wrap. Their wings are fresh and crispy the way I like my wings. Their lemon pepper flavor is the bomb! Normally other wing places bomb this flavor... But they hit the nail right on the head, also they have very fast delivery in the area. Haven't tried anything else but for now I plan to make this place a new lunch spot.

I've been here twice. Both times the wings have been great and the service friendly. I've now had the mild, medium, hot and honey mustard wings and vouch for all of them. This place is easy to miss off Roswell Road, as it's small and in a tiny strip shopping center, but if you're in the area, it's worth your time to find.

Joe P.
The food was really great. Really large wings and the flavor was great. The downside to the great food was the service. I literally waited 30 minutes for a drink and had to go up and ask a server to bring me one. I would understand if it were busy but the was only 1 other table sat in the restaurant. I would recommend food to go but I wouldn't come here expecting to drink during a game.

Clays = awesome. Best wings in Atlanta! I grew up in Sandy Springs and have been going here for years, its a hole-in-the-wall place on Roswell Rd. across from Pep Boys. You wouldn't expect much from the outside, but once inside and you smell the wings cooking its amazing! The wings are jumbo, not breaded, and crispy with plenty of sauce, a perfect combo and they're DELICIOUS especially if you order them there and eat them hot. They're always very consistent and the buffalo basket with fries is a deal, cheap as going to Chipotle and its a LOT of food! I usually get buffalo basket xhot+jalapeno with xxcrispy fries and a white pizza and its enough for a couple days. Their pizza and sandwiches are amazing too!

Kevin R.
Some of the best wings in Atlanta reside in this beer sign graveyard of a shanty in Sandy Springs. This place is our "Cheers" - the cheapest beer in Sandy Springs, lots of characters to hang with, and some damn good wings to chomp on. Half the cost of Taco Mac and 10X the wingy-ness. Do yourself a favor and feast upon the finest chicken appendages this side of the 'Hooch.

Let the record state: Clay's has my favorite wings in Atlanta. I put off saying it for a while because of my general OTP bias, but it's official. I've been ordering wings from Clay's for a while now, as quite a few of my friends live in Dunwoody. Clay's will actually deliver pretty far. I finally went by for a pitcher and some wings this weekend and I think I'm in love. From outside Clay's looks like a shithole. It's small, the building is old, and the asphalt is cracked and worse for wear. When you walk in there are small handful of tables and some booths around the periphery. There are TVs on the wall and banners advertising Budweiser. You just sort of sit down wherever. I understand they have pizza and sandwiches, but I've only come here for the wings. They are the perfect size. Not small, and not so large that they are tough. The sauces are great. BBQ, hot BBQ, and all of the buffalo varieties are excellent. I don't even like lemon pepper, but I love it here. Probably my favorite are hot honey mustard or the garlic parmesan. They dish them out on a piece of wax paper on top of pizza pans. The servers are nice. The beer is light, cheap and domestic. It's pretty much the perfect wing spot.

Come just for the buffalo pizza and cheese fries. Both are stuff-your-face amazing and way more flavorful than you'd expect, definitely a step above a textbook wing joint. As for gripes, the place is tiny and you don't always get a seat, but they're also usually slammed with deliveries so service is basically always slow. I almost want to give it 3 stars for this, but this food is really something special for what you'd expect out of a tiny sports bar. You have to try this buffalo pizza. **Warning: their shit is hot. Consider each sauce a step above a typical place in heat. Medium is HOT.

After my most recent meal at Clay's, my breath could have killed a vampire singlehandedly, thanks to their amazingly delicious and extra garlic-y parmesan garlic wings. It was a new flavor for us to try, and though it took serious to faith to go beyond our traditional hot and jerk varietals, the risk was well worth it as I don't think I'll be able to resist the garlic parmesan next time. What could make this simple chicken appendage so amazing? Well, Clay's wings are particularly large and crispy to start with, but for the garlic parmesan they roll them in straight garlic powder before frying, giving them a solid garlic crust. Then, as soon as they come out from the hot oil, they dump a pile of grated parmesan cheese on top. Team Jacob rejoice, as Edward Cullen won't be anywhere near you after finishing off a pile of these. Add this delightful new menu discovery to what I already loved about Clays: hole-in-the-wall atmosphere, attentive service, giant diet cokes, cheap pitchers, and cheap food overall. The list of reasons Clay's remains a destination for me keeps on growing.

Been to Clays a dozen times at least and won't go back on slacker Sunday ever again. Waiter (Jay) forgot to put in our wing order for 40 minutes. Watched TV the whole time and didn't get off his @ss. I think we had to repeat our order to him 3 times (duh). Then when our wings came an hour after we arrived they had a bunch of lemon pepper dry spices dumped on them. The male wait staff is a joke and manager absolutely needs to clean house and investigate quality issues in kitchen.

I came to get wings, and what I got instead was salt on a bone!!!!! Holy wow the 30 wings I got could melt all the ice on the north pole!!! Aight, so here's the sitrep. I ordered 30 wings: 10 lemon pepper, 10 Parmesan garlic, and 10 ranch. (-) Lemon Pepper: Good, slightly salty, crispy, and very lemon-y (-) Parmesan Garlic: Probably the most underwhelming. It has slight flavor but its mainly just a crispy wing with some parmesan sprinkled on top. (-) Ranch: no no no, nope nope nopeeeee. Might as well call this Morton Salt flavor sigh. my search for Atlanta's best wings continues. I really hope it was just this one time that sucked, but not sure that I'm willing to come back and try again :/

Went here Very excited because great reviews and when I arrived the aroma hit me from outside. The staff was very friendly except the guy taking our order who stopped mid order twice to tend to other staff... Food was reasonably priced and the food came out hot and smelled amazing. Ordered lemon pepper BBQ wings and sad to say the best part was the fries. The wing had a thick coat of sauce on it but tasted nothing like BBQ well more like a store brand BBQ sauce no flavor ..Lemon pepper was def there I could only get through a couple. Unfortunately my only meal all day and next morning woke up very sick. Guessing my stomach just didn't agree with whatever coated those wings. Sad to say I won't be back

Probably not gonna get better wings in Atlanta than what you get at Clays. This is my 4th visit here and felt that was enough to write a solid review. Small establishment with huge wing flavor. They have plenty of tv's so it's a nice spot to grub and catch some baseball. First off, the pitchers of beer are pretty cheap. We usually come in a group of 8 or more so we get a ton of wings to sample a lot of the flavors. Other than the lemon pepper being hit or miss, the other flavors are on point. Jalapeno, Hot, bbq, honey mustard, jerk...you can't go wrong.

Andy S.
Great food and great service. What more can I ask for. I am not a fan of wings but I have heard these are some of the best in ATL and every time I go with a group of friends there is always a large order of wings at our table. I tend to stick with the buffalo tenders and a side salad which is plenty of food and the buffalo sauce is made in house so it is a must have. You can get the tenders and wings baked if you want to go a little healthier but it is not on the menu so just be sure to ask your server. If you are in the Sandy Springs area and want some cheap beer, good food and plenty of TV's be sure to stop by Clay's!

Been meaning to write this review for some time but hadn't got around to it. Been eating at Clays for a number of years. Best wings in town bar none. The hot honey BBQ & hot teriyaki are the best I ever tasted. Wings are larger then most and the sauces outstanding. Don't really like sweet wings cause the classic hot are what I always get but I tasted one from a friend and have been hooked ever since. The cheese garlic bread is a must get. What I love is they don't have garlic frys on the menu but I asked about them once and the waitress said she could get the cook to make me some. They go out of their way to accommodate. I usually order delivery and they make you feel like one of the family. Excellent customer service. Be aware of how small the establishment is if you do decide to eat in. It's a sports bar but some may classify it as a "hole in the wall" it's located in a strip mall across from the Toyota car dealership. Nothing fancy but trust me it's worth the trip. They have excellent pizza as well. If you find yourself in the Sandy Springs area this is a place you must come visit. Owner is a very nice personable guy who understands customer service.

Cold beer, hot food & hard working staff. It is not trendy or hip but it's refreshing to go to a place that has what counts where it matters: quality food & good service.

Tried Clay's today while out looking for some wings. I ordered the Lemon Pepper and Mild. Both were over fried, even though I requested a soft fry. Called to get the wings replaced and the owner was extremely nice. I decided to try the Garlic Parmesan instead of the Lemon Pepper and they were delicious. Fresh parmesan cheese with this wonderful garlicky type sauce on top, word of caution the wings are really garlicky but perfect for garlic lovers. The mild flavored was good but not flavorful. One Yelper said, they on the hot side, and that definitely was not the case. I also ordered the cajun fries which were horrible. There was no taste of potatoes and all I tasted was old oil, made me sick to the stomach. I returned the fries and asked for my money back. All in all, I won't be back to Clay's but those Garlic Parmesan wings were decent. Only reason I gave them three stars.

Pizza tasted like frozen pizza from the grocery store. And I got the Parmesan chicken it had no seasoning to it. Def won't be ordering from this place again. Also, the cheese fries should be made better like queso creamy cheese cause not melted shredded cheese. When I got to my friends couldn't eat them cause the cheese was to hard.

Dive + crispy wings + crispy fries + friendly service = in contention for the best wings in the A! I will be honest... the first time I came here my order was lost and we left without a meal. So I felt that a deduction was called for but I just can't do it. It's really that great. I've only had the wings here but they rival the wings of Jamal's wings downtown. They are crispy and hold their sawces well. My work buddies swear by their bbq pizza. I will try that this week and report back to you guise...

Some of the worst wings I've ever had. We ordered from here for the Super Bowl. We ordered 3 different types of wings: hot, ranch, and hot lemon pepper... All ordered extra crispy. I was excited to try this place based on their reviews and had high hopes. When we got home all of the wings were swimming in oil ... The greasiest wings I've ever had in my life. Not to mention none of the wings were crispy, they were almost soggy with grease. They also lumped all 3 flavors in the same box which ruined the wings even more bc now the ranch wings have hot sauce all over them and vice versa. I will never return. You would think for such a dump this place would go out of their way to make decent food. Maybe it's bc we ordered to go and didn't eat there, maybe not.. Either way it was just awful.

I've been coming here for 10 years and that's because they have the best wings in Atlanta!!! They have really good customer service too. I have tried other wing places but they are nothing compare to CLAYS.

Nice local place. Classier than a dive with all the dive appeal. Tvs, beer, and good food. They might be a hair short staffed, but that doesn't stop the service from being good. Short on space and tables, but in the handful of times I've been, it's never seemed to be an issue. The food is really good. Everything comes on a pizza plate and parchment paper. I recommend the Clay's Special Pizza --- Yum!

My husband & I may end up weighing 300# because we eat there 2-3 times per week. We always order our pizza very specifically no matter what toppings we choose (thin & burned crust, light on the sauce). They always get it exactly right - thanks Armand! The wings are OH-SO FABULOUS especially when Disco Dave cooks them. Our favorite is the jerk wings. The salads are ginormous & the veggies are always fresh - chef salad & grilled chicken are a must but split the salad between 2 people; no matter how hungry you are. They are huge! The prices are awesome too. $7.99 for a pitcher of beer. YES! Super large grilled chicken salad for $7.99? I'm in! Don't worry if you have to wait for a table - you won't be waiting long & can order a drink while you wait. The service is top-notch whether you get delivery or in-house. None of this would be possible without the man, Al, himself. Thank you, Sir! We love Clays!

I love the wings here always order extra cripsy hot wings. The mozzarella cheese sticks on my girlfriends favorite. Play sports bars and nice chill spot to relax and watch some football.

After being referred here by a friend, we finally were able to make the drive up to see what all the hype was about with all the wings. Believe it, these wings were the real deal. Great flavors and big ass wings with good service. Their prices are all reasonable because they are a hole in the wall dive bar. One of my top places in the city for wings, I cant wait to go back.

Stopped by for brewskis, pizza, and wings on Super Bowl Sunday. I had already read all the raving reviews about their wings so I had high expectations. Sad to say, I feel like I've had better wings else where (Clay's over Taco Mac for sure). Their pizza though, I will be ordering more of it. As other reviewers have mentioned, this place is small, so if you want to watch a game here, make sure to come at least 30m to 45m prior to game time to make sure they have a table/booth available for you. Kungfu and I ordered their Maui pizza, 20 pcs of hot wings with lemon pepper sprinkle, cajun fries, and a pitcher of Yuengling (~$8 for a 60oz). Yeah, the hot wings are average size (and I always say that I don't enjoy huge wings but they're on the medium side so I was ok with it) and it was a bit on the salty side. I wasn't sure if it was my mistake for asking for lemon pepper sprinkles on top even though I didn't taste the lemon pepper at all or if it was just a bit salty to begin with. So, I'm probably just going to order regular hot next time. The wings are crunchy on the outside and if you like them extra crunchy, I'm sure you can ask them to crisp them for you. Cajun fries, pretty good but the seasoning is way salty. Probably just going to order regular fries next time. The fries itself are crispy and well fried. Perfect. Maui pizza is their Hawaiian as you've probably surmised due to its name. I think their pizza is pretty good. The dough is fluffy and crispy on the outside, the sauce isn't sparse or oozing with it on the pie, the cheeses (provolone and mozzarella) are melted and portioned well so its not overly cheesy which makes eating a pizza messy, and the toppings are fresh and of good quality. I would definitely recommend this place over the plethora of sports bars down Roswell Rd.

Taken the place as my new favorite wing place in town since Wing Factory has faltered. Great flavors. Huge wings. Great prices. It's a dive but the best places always are. I did not give 5 stars because I am a really big chili pepper fan and their hottest sauce just has more cayenne and black pepper. Should they step up their game and throw some habanero sauces into the mix I will gladly give a 5th star.

Liked the garlic Parmesan wings and the hot honey mustards. The hot terayki were pretty good. I heard the servers ranting about jerk fries. Can't wait to come back and try those. Cheep beer though too so great place!

The other reviews of this place have to be a joke. This place is awful. I've had better wings at Zaxby's. The sandwich (Italian) tasted like it was something frozen in a box at Publix. And the service was horrible. Seriously. Don't eat here.

I would call clays one of the best hole in a wall sports bar in sandy springs. I have worked in the area for 10 years and found out this place five years ago. They are right across from the Toyota dealership on Roswell road . The place is famous for there huge wings , pizza and beer. They always have beer specials on fri , sat and Sunday . It is a small establishment so seating is very limited on those days. Other than that the staff and service are top notch !

There's a problem with Atlanta dive bars. It's called pretension. Clay's Sports Cafe doesn't suffer from that affliction. After years bar hopping through the Buckhead Triangle to Pool Hall, Red Door, Five Paces, etc. I started to realize the issue with these so called "dive bars" is the general air of snobbery. From the bartenders and clientele right down to the lack of food and decent service. If I wanted to party with my girls, plus run into everyone I'd ever met in Buckhead, these were the places to go. But now I'm on the other side of my 20s (plus married) so those days are over. Clay's is a sweet place to combine the best of those worlds. Walking into Clay's you're back in the dive bar scene. It's a hole-in-the-wall on Roswell Road without even a marquee. There's maybe a dozen tables inside and a few TVs with the local games. They even had on the Atlanta Dream. Pleasant surprise: pitchers are cheap! Miller, Budweiser, and the like are only $7.49 and Sweetwater 420 was only $11.49. Their pitcher prices trump almost every bar in Buckhead. Plus Clay's provided icy cold mugs to hold our brew. The food is also reasonably priced and super tasty. Kevin P. and I over-ordered: starting with mozzarella sticks (a generous portion with marvelous marinara), the Clay's pizza (we should have gotten the 10-inch instead of the 14 because half the pizza is in our fridge) plus a Wing Basket of 10 wings, Cajun fries and celery. All the veggies were fresh, the meat well-seasoned, and we're still full the next day. Y'all know from reading my reviews that good service is essential. Our waitress was terrific and even the manager was busing tables and bringing food. Southern Hospitality at its finest...something the Buckhead dive bars often lack. Kevin P. said it was one of the cheapest date nights we've had considering the amount of food we scarfed. We're thrilled to have found a dive bar in our Sandy Springs neighborhood that sans pretension and a great dining experience.

Bar none the best wings in Atlanta. This place has great sports bar food and a bunch of TVs to watch a variety of sports on. All of the staff are kind and attentive and do a wonderful job of remembering regulars' orders. The owner is a super cool guy who takes pride in his business and it shows. I would recommend Clay's to anybody in the area - it may be a hike for those in Midtown/Downtown but certainly worth the short hop up 400! Be absolutely certain to try the buffalo basket (wings and fries)!

By far the best wing place. There's a reason they've been in business for so long. No other wings even come close. Looking forward to my next visit.

Most people that live in Sandy Springs have never even eaten at Clay's unless they have been referred by a friend or co-worker. The place barely has a sign and you would think that it is closed because the whole strip looks abandoned. However, don't let the exterior or interior of this place fool you... this hole in the wall has some of the best buffalo wings in Atlanta. PERIOD. This isn't a place you will necessarily want to go to watch a football game but it is the ideal place to satisfy your buffalo wing craving. This place has been around forever and I'm kind of glad that few others have discovered this glorious wing joint.

Alex K.
First off, this place needs a sign out front- or something. I passed it on the road, and then couldn't even find it in the plaza until I called them. Though being inconspicuous does give it some cred. The highlights here are the very good finger food and cheap pitchers. For a "beer drinker" like myself, their selection honestly left something to be desired. With a list that consists mainly of american and import adjuncts, my friends and I went with a couple of pitchers of refreshing go-to Yuengling at a surprisingly cheap 7.50 each. I had jalapeno poppers which came out piping hot and full of gooey cheese. For wings, I had the XTRA HOT ones which definitely had a nice kick (unlike most places that advertise hot wings but give you nothing but a nauseating aroma) but also had a good flavor. The place itself is more of a neighborhood snack stand than a bar; there isnt actually a bar inside, just a bunch of booths and tables. Overall, a good after work experience.

A great dive cafe. Always great pizza, salads and fantastic wings and tenders. A little hard to find the first time but well worth the effort.

This is truly a "Hidden Gem", I don't think the sign is above the entrance anymore. This used to be one of my regular lunch time places to eat when I was in the area. Now I make a special trip to Sandy Springs at least twice a month to eat there. From the salads to the wings the food is great. The inside can use a little touching up but hey, I came for the food not the ambiance. I'm not a person who loves garlic but their garlic wings are awesome. I suggest you try them just make sure you have a pack of Altoids in the car.

Garlic parmesan wings = death bed meal. My brother brought me, hubbie and two young sons here. So glad he did, its our new favorite wing place. Prices and service are good, too. At first I didn't even notice a sign outside. It was a total hole in the wall. I walked in and noticed what a dive it was and instantly got excited. I knew the food would be good because its always places like this where you can get the best grub, but I was surprised at how good. The wings here are amazing. I crave them constantly now! Update: just went again yesterday and the garlic wings were even better then before. OMG, how do they do it?! I think they're drinking back there in the kitchen. Jalapeno wings were awesome. Cheese fries had real cheese instead of nuclear. Nothing sucks about this place.

Max S.
I love good wings...and these are damn good (10 wings half hot half hot ranch). The wings aren't mutant size but not small by any means. The sauce seemed homemade and fresh. Clay's is a hole in the wall, a hidden gem. The fries are amazing too, with perfect amount of seasoning. Service was pretty good, nothing too fancy. Must be packed on Sundays during football season, and space is limited. Pitcher of beer for $7.99 all day? That is a helluva deal. Better wings than Taco Mac for sure....and wayyy better than JR Crickets.

If you can find chicken wings better in Atlanta, I'll be surprised. Clay's is not a place you would ever find yourself trying on your own. It's situated on a secluded part of Roswell Road in a strip mall style building that looks run down and dumpy. Honestly, if I drove by it, I wouldn't give it a second look. But after checking Yelp for great chicken wings and giving it a shot, I'm a total convert. These wings are AWESOME. Walking inside, you'll wonder what the heck you're doing there, as the inside is about as questionable as the out, but I can say with confidence these are absolutely the best wings I've found in the city (although, to be fair, I haven't made the trek to Jamal's yet). They're crispy, massive and positively slathered in the sauce of your choice, served up hot and fast and at a reasonable price. Try the lemon pepper, garlic Parmesan and ranch wings for sure. Their buffalo wings are decent, but the off flavors are where it's at here. The onion rings are also amazing and the fries are good too. I've heard their pizza is great as well, but as I haven't tried it I can't say for certain.

Alex S.
I had the Chicken Cordon Blue Sub and it was really really good :) We also had the lemon pepper fries, but I am not a fan, there is just something strange about that combination on fries. I'm just not a fan. The cajun fries were gooooood. I wish my sub came with cajun fries, but for only $6.00 who would complain? They didn't have blue moon beer though. So the sub and cajun fries receive four stars. The lemon pepper fries and the lack of blue moon beer receive one star .....

Read about how good the wings are so decided to give them a try. I will say if you like your wings crispy then this is the place for you! I do want my chicken fully "charged" but not as done as these were. In my opinion, they are not worth the hype. The service was friendly and charming but they also were not packed so there was no reason to expect anything less. I like to see a local small business owner succeed so check them out! They clearly have a following. Several people ordered pizza so maybe I will give that a shot.

Matthew L.
Easily the best wings in Atlanta. Awesome hole-in-the-wall atmosphere with friendly service and a great bar food menu. Nowhere are you going to find better prices on beer pitchers. I've always believed that chicken wings are an inherently cheap food and should be priced accordingly--not as a $12 appetizer. Clay's abides. No happy hour, no specials, just classic food priced right. Been going for over a decade and I call this place "the best kept secret in Atlanta."
(5)
Loren M.
Not an easy place to find. Clay's is a tiny hole-in-the-wall in Sandy Springs, and the last time I was there they had no sign above the door (not sure what happened to it). The best lemon pepper wings I've hand in Atlanta. Their regular buffalo wings are good as well just be careful if you don't like them too spicy, they're medium is what most places consider hot, and their hot is blazing. I would strongly suggest ordering takeout from here, this place isn't much for atmosphere.

In the land of Mordor (also called OTP by some) good food can be hard to find, especially good wings. If one more person suggests Taco Mac for wings I am going to make them into a Hobbit. Luckily there is one place in Sandy Springs that has awesome wings: Clay's! Thanks to Gretchen I was first introduced to Clay's. Most of their sauces can be ordered in regular or spicy variations which in itself is rare. Their lemon pepper wings are awesome and very filling. No pigeon wings here. The fries are also cooked very well, you know for fries. When I have ordered to go, the paper the fries come in has turned almost completely clear by the time I get home. Everyone knows the clearer a fried food can make paper, the more delicious it is. The times I have eaten inside I have received good and fast service and they have several televisions that are on whatever big game happens to be on. A couple months ago I was without my car for a few days and was worried about what I was going to get for food. Nothing good is within walking distance and I never get things delivered so I started to brainstorm. Suddenly Clay's came to mind. Yes, they deliver! They definitely saved my life in my hour of need with their delicious wings so I am very thankful. Mmm now I want wings!

James A.
Hands down the best wings I've ever had. They were cooked perfectly, the skin was perfect and not soggy and dripping with fat, and the sauces were very tasty. Our waitress told us the owner makes the sauces himself. You can assuredly tell there's something different about them. The place is a gem overall. The food is great. The beer is cheap! And not happy hour pricing, either! Forget the bitter person that gave this place 1 star. I'll be a regular here when I'm cheating on my diet.
(5)
Kevin W.
After reading all the reviews raving about the wings, I made a special trip over to Clay's to give them a try. While I can't agree with many that they are the best wings I've had, they most certainly do deserve a top score. I prefer my wings non-breaded and these were breaded just slightly. The sauce (I had medium) was delicious. While they may not rank at the very top, they are hovering there and I will go again and give them another try. The service was great. My order taker was gorgeous and the owner treated me like a long time customer. I recommend Clay's.

I like to eat. Like seriously eat! Now when I want some wangs, yes wangs, I go to Clay's. They are cooked well and not little like he kind you get at B-Dubs. In an array of flavors, you are guaranteed to find the one for you. Call some friends, order up a mixed platter of wings and some cajun fries and you will have a good time. OH and did I mention they have beer and a big screen TV?

$7.50 pitchers and very tasty pizza and wings - the value can't be beat! It's a little hard to find - just look for the Lamp & Shade store on the west side of Roswell Road (across from Pep Boys).

Matt C.
this place is definitely as close as you can get to the term 'hidden gem' in the age of yelp, mostly because there is no sign on the door. thank god the building itself lists the name, along with its building mates, or i would've driven by the place 50 times. small, no frills, dive of a place, with some of the best wings i've ever had. several tv's on the walls tuned to sports channels, but none of them big. went for lunch and the place was packed... started with some cheese fries, which i'd probably skip next time around.. a little flavorless, but heavy on the cheese. tried 'hot' wings, 'garlic parmesan', and 'ranch hot'. would probably skip the ranch hot next time around, these were just 'hot' wings with some sort of ranch seasoning sprinkled on top. the other two flavors were GREAT, though. really small beer selection, but luckily they had 420 on draft, and the beer prices were great to boot. wings aren't something i'd really drive out of my way for, so i doubt i'll be back to clay's regularly. but if you're in the neighborhood, or are wing-obsessed, do yourself a favor and check this place out.

So I went back and tried the pizza. I ordered a classic, pepperoni with extra cheese. Oh my goodnessssss! Absolutely awesomeeee pizza! The sauce had a really nice flavor and the crust was a nice fluffy size. I seriously just love this place to death. An order of the wings, some pizza, and a large glass of ice cold coke would send me to heaven. It may not be the healthiest, but hey, a girl's gotta pig out every now and then! :D

Ron E.
Great wings. Best I've ever had. And for only 50 cents more you can get all drums or all flats. If you don't know about Clay's it might be difficult to find since he has no signage on the building but the name is on the road sign with the other two stores located there. But you won't be disappointed in this casual place if you are ready for some great wings in about 10 different flavors. The pizza is also very good!
(5)
Jae L.
Hmm, wish I could tell you, but it seems that they may only want to serve certain people. Hours are open until 11, but for some reason, I walk in at 10:21 in an almost full house and there are at least 2 tables open and a guy in the kitchen signals the waitress to "cut it off", so she lies and says "We close at 10". BS, clearly they don't want business...and I'll be sure to bring my business elsewhere next time. I would have appreciated for them to just be honest and say we ran out of wings or the kitchen had to close early...

Damn, I forgot all about this place. I drove past today and said 'chit, I should review them', so here it is. A few months ago I was helping a friend move some office furniture, and offered to buy Clay's for lunch. I said "who?", and he promptly told me Clay's is the best sports bar ever. Ok, why not. I'm not a sports bar fan, but it sounded like they'd have good food, and I could grab a beer at least. It's in a small strip and if you're not looking for it you'll drive right by, not a lot of signage, small lot, looks more like an insurance office than a place to eat. Inside, lots of sports memorabilia, large tables with big vinyl booths, plenty of TVs, just like you'd expect. Beer list is mediocre, but I ordered up a Yuengling I think and a burger, easiest way to decide if I like a place is to have a burger. Service was quick, polite, and the food came out pretty quick, and it was very good. Burger wasn't huge but good sized, fries were tasty and cooked well, and my beer was replaced as soon as the first one got low. Overall quite a surprise and a good one.

This is my favorite place for wings. On the planet. Hot, teriyaki, honey bbq, lemon pepper - they're all fantastic. After years of eating the wings here, I finally ordered a pizza, only to find out they have the best pizza in the area also. I've heard their sandwiches and salads are great also, but I'm too addicted to the wings and pizza to try them out. They have takeout and delivery as well.

Mike M.
For the best Wings in town, this is the place!!! It is a hole in the wall, but the have some serious wings. Served on pizza trays, the wings are usually very big, not puny. A variety of flavors, but I go for Mild, which is comporable to medium at other places. Clay's is in a small strip of about 4 store fronts, with plenty of parking. If you want some great wings, this is the place!

Knowing L.
I joke and call Clay's my new boyfriend! Delivery is the best! I have had about everything on the menu and it hits the spot every time! When my lazy self does not want to leave the house. The wings, pizza and salad come to me. The place it self is like a college bar but regardless of all that it is a great place for wings and such.

I finally found Clay's as it is hard to find even though it is on Roswell Rd. The place is small but the folks that work behind the counter are SUPER friendly. Had the hot wings and they were good enough to make me return. As a warning, the hot are not like burn your mouth hot but hot enough to get you going. I am definitely a fan and will go back.

it looks like a hole in the wall, but don't judge a book by its cover. the wings here are mmm mmm good. I like the buffalo medium and the lemon pepper, both extra crispy. me and my man usually order a small order of wings and a small cheese pizza. it is the perfect lunch and it is very affordable. we are never disappointed.

Marcus R.
A diamond in the rough... This place isn't much to look at and you probably wouldn't give it a second thought if you drove by but if you like wings this is hands down one of the best spots I've ever been to. I haven't tried anything else on the menu so I can't go a full 5 stars, but the phenomenal wings are worth 4 stars alone. It's a laid back kind of place with some TV's tuned to whatever games might be on. What else can I say? Other than the beer is cold and the wait staff is always friendly. If you're in the area or don't mind a short drive it's completely worth it.

The guy that takes the orders over the phone has a nasty attitude and so does the delivery man. I will never come back to them again. Two times have I had the displeasure of dealing with these ungrateful people. I have twice ordered for my office friends, the next time they order, I'll just go to publix to get a sandwich!

Clay's is an unassuming sports bar located in a tiny-by-Sandy-Springs-standards strip mall on Roswell Road. There is little indication that this hole in the wall has the best wings in the city. I would venture they're the best in the country, but I haven't been to Buffalo so I will reserve that judgment for now. It's cramped, a little dingy and the TV situation is far from ideal, so I haven't dined in much. I've probably had the wings delivered 100 times, though. We get together for cards a lot in the Springs so Clay's is on speed dial. Delivery is always fast. Celery and dressings are aplenty. I could live off the lemon pepper wings, whose flavor is unmatched in my experience, but the hot teriyaki, jerk, teriyaki and hot are all delicious as well. Plus, they're huge! Like the guy before me said, I hope this place stays a secret. I would hate for prices and delivery times to spike. Yes, I know that's selfish. Sorry. The wings are really, really tasty.

Anyways, I LOVE LOVE this place. The essence of what a sports bar should be, friendly staff, tv's, cheap beer, and the classic bar food done right at an affordable price. This place has some of the cheapest wings in town, 5 wings for $4 or 20 for $14! Crazy! and they have lots of difference sauces to choose from beyond the normal 3-4. Also, the wings are normal sized to large. Not hormone large, just right. (call me Goldilocks) I really give this place a 4.5 stars, the only issue I have is the dipping sauce they give ain't anything special. But, I'll round up because its a local business and I hope to encourage others to go.

So what is there to say about Clays except this... Go eat wings and drink cheap beer! If you're a wing person don't miss this spot, it's divey and definitely s smaller place but so worth it. Garlic Parmesan wings are too die for, the jerk chicken and the plain buffalo are great choices as well! The wings are above average size and so well prepared. The servers are awesome friendly and always keeping glasses full and iced! If you like bougey wing joints not for you, if you like classy sports bars it's not for you, but if you say hiked Kennesaw mountain and want casual wings and solid 7 dollar pitchers of cheap beer don't miss it! Seriously 20 wings ranch and blue cheese with a diet coke and beer, 20 bucks! So glad I found Clays!!

Best wings hands down!!!! Just make sure you order them crispy. Ugh! Love them!!!! Their flavored are always on point! Mild is mild, medium is medium, and hot is hot!!! They really know what they're doing! Oh! And make sure you order their Cajun fries! OMG yum!! I'm obsessed!

I was lucky enough to get wings and pizza at the original Anchor Bar in Buffalo back when it was still relatively pure (and in existence). Clay's comes closest to that warm, homey vibe with a clean, sharp taste out of all the dozens of wings places I've visited since. Not gonna pretend it isn't a dive -- it is, but in the best sense. Paint peeling and newspaper clippings from 1992 on the wall, small and in a strip center with all the charm of a bail bondsman or title pawn -- but clean, friendly, big wooden booths, and oh so good at what they do. (Bonus points for a projection screen TV still slinging pixels in addition to the smattering of flat screens around the room. Totally adequate for sports viewing.) Newcomers should start with the Buffalo basket ($9), at least one of you -- that nets you 10 wings, a mound of Cajun fries, celery and ranch or blue cheese. Protip: add an extra dressing (.50) for to have something to dip the fresh, addictive fries into as well, in addition. Yes. Do this. Otherwise, go wing crazy. Orders come in 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, and 100 count batches, with split sauces adding a whopping 50 cents per order. Which means you could get a veritable wing sampler platter of 20 wings in four sauces for like $20. Nuts. Saw one guy order 15 wings in three different sauces and the server didn't bat an eye -- in contrast to many joints I've been in over the years. The wings themselves are cooked right -- deep fried thru and then tossed in a thick coating of sauce. Pretty big wings too, can't imagine going beyond 15, maybe 20 tops. That's why I say a Buffalo basket and an order of 10, maybe 15 wings, is gonna cover most couples looking to get their wing on. The sauces are varied, but not multitudinous. Not so many choices so as to you lock up -- besides, spend the 50 cents and split the difference if you get stalled. Me, I went with the jerk, which had a great depth of flavor and applied in the proper copious amount, if a little mild for my taste. Clay's medium sauce is a classic Buffalo prep -- absolutely give it a taste to dial-in everything else. It is a nice hot, maybe hotter than some mediums out there, but not death. Also not too salty or chemical tasting -- that is ultimately the downfall of many wing joints. Didn't really explore my beer options here -- a Bud draft served the purpose, big cold, and cheap. They do roll pitchers here, even half-pitchers. Hell, I bet they'd do a quarter-pitcher and three wings, each in a different sauce. They give no damns and no drama at Clay's -- just wings, beer, eat. Tough combo to beat.

This is one of my go to wing spots in Atlanta. They never disappoint and are always crispy and delicious. Staff is nice, courteous and professional. Definitely the best wing spot for price, portion and quality. Good cold beer with fantastic prices. Pitchers always $7.99. Space is very limited and the big screen projection TV has definitely seen better days. Either way though, to go, pick up or delivery you can't go wrong here. I've been a loyal customer for over 8 years! Even driving 40 miles on some NFL Sunday's when living on the other side of town. This place for wing lovers is a diamond in the rough!

Great sports bar with good wings and a fun atmosphere.

My favorite wings In the neighborhood. Customer service is phenomenal!! Even when we order late. Keep it up guys.

Chicken wings are one of my all-time favorite foods, so when I came across the many glowing Yelp reviews for Clay's Sports Cafe last year, I absolutely had to check it out. I have been there twice now, both times for take-out, since I currently live only about 10 minutes away. Definitely call ahead to place your to-go order, at least 15 minutes before you get there, but if it's a crazy day for sports and/or you are ordering a lot, you may want to call as early as possible. Lemon Pepper is typically my favorite flavor of wings, but I read that the Hot Ranch was a good one at Clay's. So I've ordered half of my wings Lemon Pepper and half Hot Ranch. Both times, I ended up thinking the Hot Ranch was WAY too salty. And it's rare that I think things are salty, so that's saying a lot. It will have you chugging water (or beer... maybe that's the point) the rest of the day to quench your thirst. Although the Lemon Pepper isn't the best I have ever had, it's very good. Not nearly as salty as the Hot Ranch. The 10-piece wing combo, which comes with Cajun fries, carrot sticks, celery sticks, and ranch (or Bleu cheese, but ranch all the way for me!) is a pretty great deal at a mere $8.49 (before tax). I have to admit the Cajun fries are delicious, but you have to eat them fairly quickly before they turn soggy. Since the wings are fairly large in size (not Taco Mac size but not small), I can make two meals out of the 10-piece combo. Or, I can share with the hubs. ;) As previously mentioned, I have not dined in so I can't comment as to the service. However, the place is pretty small, and the parking lot in front of the restaurant can fill up on a busy day. You may want to carpool if coming with a large group to watch a particular game on TV. Overall, Clay's Sports Cafe gets 3.5 stars for their good wings and Cajun fries. If you live in the Sandy Springs/Roswell Road area and are craving chicken wings, I would definitely recommend you check them out!

I absolutely love this place. My boyfriend and I have made a habit of going to Clay's for lunch. They have THE BEST wings. If you like spicy and you like adding lime or lemon to your food, then I recommend trying they're hot lemon pepper buffalo basket. Not only are they accompanied by some delicious Cajun seasoned fries with your regular ranch and celery but you can get a whole 10 piece meal with a drink for no more than $11. If you love wings don't look anywhere else, these will change your life.
(5)Tyler K.
AWESOME wings!!! I have been eating here for almost 20 years, and it's one of the few places that's "as good as it used to be." Clay's brings wings and pizza to another level. Only reason it's not 5 stars is because the restaurant itself is kind of small and dumpy, but really, who cares when the wings are so good.
(4)Josh H.
What a great place! Without yelp we would have never knew about this place. Wings were great and so was all the other food. I'm not sure if the food was the best then or when I just ate it for lunch the next day. It was so good both times. We live a hour away but I will be making the drive to sandy springs regularly after finding this place.
(5)Amanda D.
It is so depressing to be moving away from here. I'm actually going to go get wings there Friday night for dinner, and I'm sure I'll be back at some point this week, and then once the week after it's all confirmed I no longer live not even three miles away. SADNESS. Over time I have straight become a creature of habit here. Buffalo basket all day every day. For about a dollar more than just ten wings, you also get a heaping serving of cajun seasoned fries. 90% of the time I stick with my hot ranch wings, sometimes I switch it up with half them, half garlic parmesan. If you get them to go, they are even separated in the box. I love this place. I also may have used this as a first date spot for someone I met who also had just moved here and had asked for a suggestion of my favorite place. Yeah, goddamn right I'm brave for choosing a wing spot for a first date. Of course, we never saw each other again. He would text me. I would answer. And nothing. Come on, I introduced you to the best wings ever. Additionally on that trip I learned that half pitchers of beer are a thing! So if you want to have beer but you're the only one drinking/you're by yourself, you can have some beer without having all the beer. Also on this trip they messed up and gave me hot lemon pepper wings but they were so good too there was no way I was sending them back for being the wrong seasoning. I don't think they can do anything wrong here ever. I also discovered if you're just driving because you can't pick a food, then call over here to place a to-go order, Rag-o-Rama is the perfect place to browse while you wait. But that's another review I already wrote. Whenever I have the chance I will be here again.
(5)Janelle D.
Since my husband is a bigger fan of this place than I initially was, we've been back a couple of times and ordered delivery -- and I've become a fan too! Their prices are great, delivery is always prompt even when they say it's going to be an hour (rarely is for us) and the food arrives hot and fresh, even the meatball subs, which have become one of my faves and are only $6!!! It's a great deal. Their customer service on the phone whenever we order has been friendly. I love that they deliver!!
(4)Safia A.
Delivery wings? Yes, please! Everything was delicious as you could have guessed and just the right amount of sauce to have with fries. The fries order is enough for two, cooked perfectly. The cheesy garlic bread wasn't that great though.
(5)Jason D.
I'm a wing connoisseur (aka wing snob) and these wings are awesome! Amazing flavors. The wing is crispy and it's immersed in the sauce. You don't get a whole lot of left over sauce for dipping, but you don't even need it! Amazing prices. Well worth it!! Don't let the outside fool you - real deal!
(5)Tres S.
The best wings in Atlanta. We had four different flavors of wings this past weekend and they were fantastic. Service was top notch and the atmosphere was great. This is a dive bar, but worth it. Clay's has earned my business. I see wings and college football in the very near future!
(5)Edward L.
HANDS DOWN the best wings in Atlanta! Clay's isn't located in a glamorous location and if you aren't paying attention, you can easily miss it. It's located in an older shopping center next to a store that sells.... Lamps? The dining area has limited seating area, but my party of 2 (Jennider D. and I) found seating on a Saturday night, although this might change during a bigger game day. We split 20 wings and got 4 different flavors. Clay's charges an extra 50 cents per flavor, but it's worth it. You want to try multiple flavors. We ordered hot sauce, hot honey bbq, garlic ranch and lemon pepper, all which BLEW MY MIND. The hot sauce is tangy, delicious and full of flavor. Best hot sauce I've ever had. The lemon pepper is sour, yet crispy. Garlic ranch can be a hit or miss depending on who you are. It's a little salty, but know that going into it. The Garlic ranch wings are my favorite flavor. I will be coming back here as soon as I can to order more wings!
(5)Wes T.
Best wings in Atlanta! All the sauces are made in-house. Recommend the honey mustard / hot honey mustard, cajun fries or fries add cheese and jalapeños (baked), pizzas, and everything on the menu!
(5)Jennifer D.
This is no doubt the diviest place to earn a five-star review from me - but folks, Clay's Sports Cafe is very, very, VERY good at what it does. I've now been a handful of times - enough that the servers, who are always friendly and on point, have started to recognize me and learn my taste buds well enough to make terrific suggestions, including some off-menu delights. This restaurant is located in an unimpressive strip mall. To be quite honest, if I had not been meeting a friend the first time I went here, relying on her recommendation, I absolutely would never have stopped. There is nothing about the place, from the outside, that would make anyone want to stop in. Once you get past the door, that feeling continues. It looks cheap, it looks run down. But wait - what's that smell? That smell is the BEST WINGS IN ATLANTA, y'all. I have tried the medium (they're plenty hot, I promise,) the hot honey BBQ (delicious but a complete and utter mess,) the lemon pepper (the perfect blend of savory and heat) and the garlic Parmesan. It's really impossible to pick a favorite. If I had to, it might be the off-menu garlic ranch, a combo of two existing flavors. The salads are absolutely enormous and very fresh. I hear the pizza is great but I haven't made it past the wings yet! Domestic pitchers are only $7.99, and you really can't find a better place to hang out with friends and chat or watch a game. I have never had to wait for a table, I have never had any complaints about service, and the price is just right. Edward L. and I split 20 wings (4 flavors) and had one beer each and our tab was under $23 after tax!
(5)Steve R.
@ Northside Hospital awaiting our 6th child and the staff highly recommend Clay's Sports Cafe.. So glad they did what delicious and fast delivery!!!
(5)Tiana P.
Headed to Sandy Springs with Trader J's on my mind, stomach growling and wondered what should i eat!! Thanks to yelp, I pull up Clays sports cafe. Hmmm, Good reviews so im going for wings. Once inside i meet clay in a white collar shirt and place my order. 10 hot/Lemon pepper wings with a corona beer. He asked if i lived around there and I replied no. I placed my order, talked to Clay for a minute and told him why I was there, because of YELP. Clay said he knew about yelp, then poured my ice cold corona in a ice cold mug. I sat at a booth and waited. My order was to go, but Clay insisted that i try a wing before i left. The wings are medium size, crisp and sauced just right, it was so good i ate another. I gave him the Thumbs up and he asked what i liked most. He was very pleased and thanked me for coming so far just to try his wings. There are many things on the menu, typical bar food. Small bar but was pretty cozy. I will be back just know that!
(4)T C.
The best wings ever. Period. I've never eaten inside but always order for pick up (I think they know us by name just by what we order lol). We've searched long and hard for a wing spot that wasn't overly expensive or supplying chicken that's the size of your fist (injected with only God knows what). Clay's is definitely the place we've always looked for. Try the honey lemon pepper wings. It's not on the menu but I asked if they could create it for me one day and they said sure! So now we order that every time
(5)Jeff A.
Great food, great atmosphere. Al is so nice, and always takes care of us. The food is incredibly fresh and the beer is cold! Can't ask for more!
(5)Mark H.
Don't judge this place by the outside or the inside for that matter. The wings actually have meat on them and there multitude of sauces means anyone can find a flavor they like. So far the best wing place in perimeter
(5)Kyra M.
So, straight up DIVE BAR city! No pretentious people will ever actually eat inside of this place. If you can look past the ratty, old carpet and décor...well, it's good eating! I am a fan of the nice southern service too. I understand that many people preferred to place a order for pick-up or delivery. The phone was ringing often. It's not easy on the eyes so I may order to go next time. Let's be clear- I will return. The wings are quite yummy. The medium came out more on a HOT level, so beware. They were crispy and spicy. The fry truck never came so I settled for homemade chips. I'm glad I did because they were on point with some ranch dressing for dipping. The honey BBQ wings were getting ripped apart by the hubby. The lemon pepper wings were good but extremely citrusy and peppery. All in all, I loved the food.
(4)Ken K.
Been told by neighbors we had to try the wings at Clay's, and they warned us - it was nothing fancy........ I LOVED it - reminded me of a little corner pizza place I used to go to in Chicago in the late 80's/early 90's - mainly because the décor was the same, 8 or 9 booths, forest green walls, 3 foot deep giant screen TV....I felt like I should tight roll my jeans before entering.... The place was very clean, and the waitress was very nice, cheap beer - GREAT Pizza, wings were above average, better than Taco-Mac, but not the best I've ever had....saw several sandwiches walk by which looked fantastic - it's right around the corner, so we'll be new regulars!
(4)Trent N.
I'll give them two stars because I know their food is good, but only if you eat in-house. I called to have food delivered. The guy was rushing me off the phone, didn't give me an estimated time of delivery and it took over an hour to get to my house. When it arrived, everything was cold. The only cold thing should have been the salad and sadly that was too warm. If you're going to eat there, be sure to go into the restaurant. Delivery service sucks and it makes the food just boring and worse than dirt.
(2)Amanda C.
The wings are good.. Most of the time. service is good if it's the owner. Don't order the pizza. I ordered my wings crispy, the server didn't put them in crispy she took them back to the kitchen to have them redone and then the cook fried the wings that had already previously been tossed with sauce. They brought the wings back burnt thinking I wouldn't notice that they were serving me burnt wings.
(3)Heidi P.
I had meaning to get here FOREVER.. I wanted to try the wings, I had heard (through the Yelpvine, mostly) that Clay's has some of THE BEST lemon pepper wings in the Atlanta area. Now I'm a fan of lemon pepper wings, and so just had to see for myself. I tried during a lunch-time World Cup game.. what am I thinking!? And finally, my chance! Dinner on Sunday. It was not overpacked, but their tables were just about full. They sat 2 of us at a booth that could fit 4-6, even though there was a 2 person table. I like booths, so that was cool. We ordered fast.. 10 lemon pepper wings with ranch please! I know what I like! They served them on the big round silver platter that you usually see a large piece of pizza or a pizza pie on. Super hot (temperature), juicy, fresh wings, for sure. The taste of the first bite was excellent, but as I ate, I realized there was a little bit too much lemon on 'em for me. I couldn't finish all in one sitting. I took 4 of them home and reheated in the oven, and it was back to a good balance of lemon-pepper. The place is as big as my 1-bedroom apartment and very.. green? and kinda dark ..but there are a ton of TVs - many more than are proportionate to its size as a bar. :) That's a good thing, I think! Also, saw ads for $7 pitchers of beer. A ton of people actually came in to pick up to-go orders while we waited, good sign. All in all, cool place.. I'll definitely be back to try the lemon pepper again.. and I was told to try Garlic Parmesan, too, which I need to do! Great place in Sandy Springs..
(4)Lewis M.
First time there and I must say that it was exactly what I thought it would be - a great place to watch the game (Hawks win to go to the Eastern Conference Finals!), eat some delicious wings and enjoy a cold beer ($8 pitchers!) A little divey, but clean and suitable. Think corner pub rather than full-scale restaurant... Wings were amazing. The medium flavor is closer to what other places might call hot, FYI... The MOUND of Cajun fries that come with the wing platter was just as delicious and could serve a small army. When it's busy, don't just wait by the door, let somebody know you're there so at least you'll have the next table if others should come in after you. That's the only failsafe way to assure any type of seating order. Anyway, definitely worth the visit! I'm going back to try the rest of the wing flavors! (I left a star off the rating because the bathroom needed some attention)
(4)Roger K.
Went there at about 830pm yesterday. Place was packed with SouthCarolina Alumni and One waitress handling the whole place! Hats off to her and she did it with no stress on her face. Place was running great . The 3 of us sat down very quickly in the only booth left in the place. We ordered quickly and the food came out quick as well despite how busy it was. The wings were absolutely the BEST I have had ! I am 100% convinced from all the people talking at work about this place. TV's were a little fuzzy but it reminded me of how it was when I was in College as well as the 7.99 pitcher prices! Awesome that Clay is doing this! Suggestions: Knock the wall down next door for more room or buy it out and make this place huge! Your getting the business to do it so go for it man! Good job on the food and never lose sight of your food quality. People will come for the Wings no matter what and the fresh hot fries!! Go there and No I am in no ways affiliated with Clay nor do I Know him or his buddy.
(5)Jessica A.
Stunned! The garlic parmesan and lemon pepper wings are phenomenal. Best chicken wings I have had to date! Also, the service was great - definitely a local hidden gem. Plus how can you not love a restaurant that sells Cajun fries!?
(5)Todd R.
Atlanta's best wings! When my family and I want wings (especially my boys!) or if we are tailgating at Turner Field, we always come to Clays.
(5)Rashida C.
Best chicken wings I've had in a while. I was introduced to this place from my co worker who raved about how great the wings were she brought some in one day and after that it was a wrap. Their wings are fresh and crispy the way I like my wings. Their lemon pepper flavor is the bomb! Normally other wing places bomb this flavor... But they hit the nail right on the head, also they have very fast delivery in the area. Haven't tried anything else but for now I plan to make this place a new lunch spot.
(4)Rodrigo N.
Good service and good beer and bar food. Prices are reasonably and your supporting a local small business.
(4)Steve H.
Not a huge fan of wings but I know wings...Good or bad. These are GREAT. Went on a whim and ordered to go. Was pleasantly surprised that a place like this could have such good wings. A+. You gotta try em.
(5)Jillian M.
I've been here twice. Both times the wings have been great and the service friendly. I've now had the mild, medium, hot and honey mustard wings and vouch for all of them. This place is easy to miss off Roswell Road, as it's small and in a tiny strip shopping center, but if you're in the area, it's worth your time to find.
(4)Joe P.
The food was really great. Really large wings and the flavor was great. The downside to the great food was the service. I literally waited 30 minutes for a drink and had to go up and ask a server to bring me one. I would understand if it were busy but the was only 1 other table sat in the restaurant. I would recommend food to go but I wouldn't come here expecting to drink during a game.
(2)Nathan J.
Clays = awesome. Best wings in Atlanta! I grew up in Sandy Springs and have been going here for years, its a hole-in-the-wall place on Roswell Rd. across from Pep Boys. You wouldn't expect much from the outside, but once inside and you smell the wings cooking its amazing! The wings are jumbo, not breaded, and crispy with plenty of sauce, a perfect combo and they're DELICIOUS especially if you order them there and eat them hot. They're always very consistent and the buffalo basket with fries is a deal, cheap as going to Chipotle and its a LOT of food! I usually get buffalo basket xhot+jalapeno with xxcrispy fries and a white pizza and its enough for a couple days. Their pizza and sandwiches are amazing too!
(5)Kevin R.
Some of the best wings in Atlanta reside in this beer sign graveyard of a shanty in Sandy Springs. This place is our "Cheers" - the cheapest beer in Sandy Springs, lots of characters to hang with, and some damn good wings to chomp on. Half the cost of Taco Mac and 10X the wingy-ness. Do yourself a favor and feast upon the finest chicken appendages this side of the 'Hooch.
(5)Jerry T.
Let the record state: Clay's has my favorite wings in Atlanta. I put off saying it for a while because of my general OTP bias, but it's official. I've been ordering wings from Clay's for a while now, as quite a few of my friends live in Dunwoody. Clay's will actually deliver pretty far. I finally went by for a pitcher and some wings this weekend and I think I'm in love. From outside Clay's looks like a shithole. It's small, the building is old, and the asphalt is cracked and worse for wear. When you walk in there are small handful of tables and some booths around the periphery. There are TVs on the wall and banners advertising Budweiser. You just sort of sit down wherever. I understand they have pizza and sandwiches, but I've only come here for the wings. They are the perfect size. Not small, and not so large that they are tough. The sauces are great. BBQ, hot BBQ, and all of the buffalo varieties are excellent. I don't even like lemon pepper, but I love it here. Probably my favorite are hot honey mustard or the garlic parmesan. They dish them out on a piece of wax paper on top of pizza pans. The servers are nice. The beer is light, cheap and domestic. It's pretty much the perfect wing spot.
(5)Robin H.
Wings and onion rings were delicious! The service was friendly, fast and on point. Just a little too crowded. They should really think about expanding. I would definitely recommend and will definitely revisit.
(4)Happy G.
The food was delicious until I I found a bug in my food.. Enough said...
(1)Jonathan G.
Come just for the buffalo pizza and cheese fries. Both are stuff-your-face amazing and way more flavorful than you'd expect, definitely a step above a textbook wing joint. As for gripes, the place is tiny and you don't always get a seat, but they're also usually slammed with deliveries so service is basically always slow. I almost want to give it 3 stars for this, but this food is really something special for what you'd expect out of a tiny sports bar. You have to try this buffalo pizza. **Warning: their shit is hot. Consider each sauce a step above a typical place in heat. Medium is HOT.
(4)Smoke S.
Woooooow is all I can say.... i had the hot lemon pepper wings my 1st time havin them... they were lik the best ever.... my wife had the chicken and cheese sandwich and my Lil one had sub......the wings and all were fresh you can see the steam off the wings when u bite into it as well as the sandwich. ...... great place to eat
(5)Kristin B.
After my most recent meal at Clay's, my breath could have killed a vampire singlehandedly, thanks to their amazingly delicious and extra garlic-y parmesan garlic wings. It was a new flavor for us to try, and though it took serious to faith to go beyond our traditional hot and jerk varietals, the risk was well worth it as I don't think I'll be able to resist the garlic parmesan next time. What could make this simple chicken appendage so amazing? Well, Clay's wings are particularly large and crispy to start with, but for the garlic parmesan they roll them in straight garlic powder before frying, giving them a solid garlic crust. Then, as soon as they come out from the hot oil, they dump a pile of grated parmesan cheese on top. Team Jacob rejoice, as Edward Cullen won't be anywhere near you after finishing off a pile of these. Add this delightful new menu discovery to what I already loved about Clays: hole-in-the-wall atmosphere, attentive service, giant diet cokes, cheap pitchers, and cheap food overall. The list of reasons Clay's remains a destination for me keeps on growing.
(5)Adam A.
Always impressed with the medium and hot wings. Good size, perfectly cooked, and generous and incredible sauce. Salads exceeded expectations in both quality and quantity. Dont expect much more than a dive bar atmosphere with good food and service.
(5)Antwon J.
Best wings in the city... Try the Hot wings w/ lemon pepper sprinkled over the top.... You you're welcome!!!!
(5)Barclay K.
This place is amazing and highly consistent. I have been going for years without fail. I recommended this spot to everyone as I think the wings beat the ones from Buffalo, NY.
(5)Ayana A.
Food was great. I asked if they could make me some honey lemon pepper wings and they told me they could make whatever I want. Wings were great! Pizza good too!
(5)Tyler D.
Been to Clays a dozen times at least and won't go back on slacker Sunday ever again. Waiter (Jay) forgot to put in our wing order for 40 minutes. Watched TV the whole time and didn't get off his @ss. I think we had to repeat our order to him 3 times (duh). Then when our wings came an hour after we arrived they had a bunch of lemon pepper dry spices dumped on them. The male wait staff is a joke and manager absolutely needs to clean house and investigate quality issues in kitchen.
(1)Jimmy J.
I came to get wings, and what I got instead was salt on a bone!!!!! Holy wow the 30 wings I got could melt all the ice on the north pole!!! Aight, so here's the sitrep. I ordered 30 wings: 10 lemon pepper, 10 Parmesan garlic, and 10 ranch. (-) Lemon Pepper: Good, slightly salty, crispy, and very lemon-y (-) Parmesan Garlic: Probably the most underwhelming. It has slight flavor but its mainly just a crispy wing with some parmesan sprinkled on top. (-) Ranch: no no no, nope nope nopeeeee. Might as well call this Morton Salt flavor sigh. my search for Atlanta's best wings continues. I really hope it was just this one time that sucked, but not sure that I'm willing to come back and try again :/
(2)Vanessa C.
Went here Very excited because great reviews and when I arrived the aroma hit me from outside. The staff was very friendly except the guy taking our order who stopped mid order twice to tend to other staff... Food was reasonably priced and the food came out hot and smelled amazing. Ordered lemon pepper BBQ wings and sad to say the best part was the fries. The wing had a thick coat of sauce on it but tasted nothing like BBQ well more like a store brand BBQ sauce no flavor ..Lemon pepper was def there I could only get through a couple. Unfortunately my only meal all day and next morning woke up very sick. Guessing my stomach just didn't agree with whatever coated those wings. Sad to say I won't be back
(1)Frank T.
Probably not gonna get better wings in Atlanta than what you get at Clays. This is my 4th visit here and felt that was enough to write a solid review. Small establishment with huge wing flavor. They have plenty of tv's so it's a nice spot to grub and catch some baseball. First off, the pitchers of beer are pretty cheap. We usually come in a group of 8 or more so we get a ton of wings to sample a lot of the flavors. Other than the lemon pepper being hit or miss, the other flavors are on point. Jalapeno, Hot, bbq, honey mustard, jerk...you can't go wrong.

Great food and great service. What more can I ask for. I am not a fan of wings but I have heard these are some of the best in ATL and every time I go with a group of friends there is always a large order of wings at our table. I tend to stick with the buffalo tenders and a side salad which is plenty of food and the buffalo sauce is made in house so it is a must have. You can get the tenders and wings baked if you want to go a little healthier but it is not on the menu so just be sure to ask your server. If you are in the Sandy Springs area and want some cheap beer, good food and plenty of TV's be sure to stop by Clay's!

Now, if you love wings and you love pizza -- Clays is gonna be your new love. Get the Hot Wing Pizza -- yes, hot wing pizza, I didn't studder. It's to DIE for. Love love love it... try it, you won't be disappointed.

Been meaning to write this review for some time but hadn't got around to it. Been eating at Clays for a number of years. Best wings in town bar none. The hot honey BBQ & hot teriyaki are the best I ever tasted. Wings are larger then most and the sauces outstanding. Don't really like sweet wings cause the classic hot are what I always get but I tasted one from a friend and have been hooked ever since. The cheese garlic bread is a must get. What I love is they don't have garlic frys on the menu but I asked about them once and the waitress said she could get the cook to make me some. They go out of their way to accommodate. I usually order delivery and they make you feel like one of the family. Excellent customer service. Be aware of how small the establishment is if you do decide to eat in. It's a sports bar but some may classify it as a "hole in the wall" it's located in a strip mall across from the Toyota car dealership. Nothing fancy but trust me it's worth the trip. They have excellent pizza as well. If you find yourself in the Sandy Springs area this is a place you must come visit. Owner is a very nice personable guy who understands customer service.

Cold beer, hot food & hard working staff. It is not trendy or hip but it's refreshing to go to a place that has what counts where it matters: quality food & good service.

Tried Clay's today while out looking for some wings. I ordered the Lemon Pepper and Mild. Both were over fried, even though I requested a soft fry. Called to get the wings replaced and the owner was extremely nice. I decided to try the Garlic Parmesan instead of the Lemon Pepper and they were delicious. Fresh parmesan cheese with this wonderful garlicky type sauce on top, word of caution the wings are really garlicky but perfect for garlic lovers. The mild flavored was good but not flavorful. One Yelper said, they on the hot side, and that definitely was not the case. I also ordered the cajun fries which were horrible. There was no taste of potatoes and all I tasted was old oil, made me sick to the stomach. I returned the fries and asked for my money back. All in all, I won't be back to Clay's but those Garlic Parmesan wings were decent. Only reason I gave them three stars.
(3)Vanity E.
Pizza tasted like frozen pizza from the grocery store. And I got the Parmesan chicken it had no seasoning to it. Def won't be ordering from this place again. Also, the cheese fries should be made better like queso creamy cheese cause not melted shredded cheese. When I got to my friends couldn't eat them cause the cheese was to hard.
(1)Christopher P.
Dive + crispy wings + crispy fries + friendly service = in contention for the best wings in the A! I will be honest... the first time I came here my order was lost and we left without a meal. So I felt that a deduction was called for but I just can't do it. It's really that great. I've only had the wings here but they rival the wings of Jamal's wings downtown. They are crispy and hold their sawces well. My work buddies swear by their bbq pizza. I will try that this week and report back to you guise...
(5)Drew P.
Some of the worst wings I've ever had. We ordered from here for the Super Bowl. We ordered 3 different types of wings: hot, ranch, and hot lemon pepper... All ordered extra crispy. I was excited to try this place based on their reviews and had high hopes. When we got home all of the wings were swimming in oil ... The greasiest wings I've ever had in my life. Not to mention none of the wings were crispy, they were almost soggy with grease. They also lumped all 3 flavors in the same box which ruined the wings even more bc now the ranch wings have hot sauce all over them and vice versa. I will never return. You would think for such a dump this place would go out of their way to make decent food. Maybe it's bc we ordered to go and didn't eat there, maybe not.. Either way it was just awful.
(1)Yessi L.
I've been coming here for 10 years and that's because they have the best wings in Atlanta!!! They have really good customer service too. I have tried other wing places but they are nothing compare to CLAYS.
(5)Chelsea E.
Nice local place. Classier than a dive with all the dive appeal. Tvs, beer, and good food. They might be a hair short staffed, but that doesn't stop the service from being good. Short on space and tables, but in the handful of times I've been, it's never seemed to be an issue. The food is really good. Everything comes on a pizza plate and parchment paper. I recommend the Clay's Special Pizza --- Yum!
(4)Mary S.
My husband & I may end up weighing 300# because we eat there 2-3 times per week. We always order our pizza very specifically no matter what toppings we choose (thin & burned crust, light on the sauce). They always get it exactly right - thanks Armand! The wings are OH-SO FABULOUS especially when Disco Dave cooks them. Our favorite is the jerk wings. The salads are ginormous & the veggies are always fresh - chef salad & grilled chicken are a must but split the salad between 2 people; no matter how hungry you are. They are huge! The prices are awesome too. $7.99 for a pitcher of beer. YES! Super large grilled chicken salad for $7.99? I'm in! Don't worry if you have to wait for a table - you won't be waiting long & can order a drink while you wait. The service is top-notch whether you get delivery or in-house. None of this would be possible without the man, Al, himself. Thank you, Sir! We love Clays!
(5)Lamar M.
I love the wings here always order extra cripsy hot wings. The mozzarella cheese sticks on my girlfriends favorite. Play sports bars and nice chill spot to relax and watch some football.
(5)Jeremy A.
After being referred here by a friend, we finally were able to make the drive up to see what all the hype was about with all the wings. Believe it, these wings were the real deal. Great flavors and big ass wings with good service. Their prices are all reasonable because they are a hole in the wall dive bar. One of my top places in the city for wings, I cant wait to go back.
(4)Art V.
Very good wings but pizza/salads are not as good. Great for take out since it has limited seating. #1 place for wings in sandy springs.
(4)Jareth R.
Poor services waitress was not friendly at all overall experience 2 Star.

Stopped by for brewskis, pizza, and wings on Super Bowl Sunday. I had already read all the raving reviews about their wings so I had high expectations. Sad to say, I feel like I've had better wings else where (Clay's over Taco Mac for sure). Their pizza though, I will be ordering more of it. As other reviewers have mentioned, this place is small, so if you want to watch a game here, make sure to come at least 30m to 45m prior to game time to make sure they have a table/booth available for you. Kungfu and I ordered their Maui pizza, 20 pcs of hot wings with lemon pepper sprinkle, cajun fries, and a pitcher of Yuengling (~$8 for a 60oz). Yeah, the hot wings are average size (and I always say that I don't enjoy huge wings but they're on the medium side so I was ok with it) and it was a bit on the salty side. I wasn't sure if it was my mistake for asking for lemon pepper sprinkles on top even though I didn't taste the lemon pepper at all or if it was just a bit salty to begin with. So, I'm probably just going to order regular hot next time. The wings are crunchy on the outside and if you like them extra crunchy, I'm sure you can ask them to crisp them for you. Cajun fries, pretty good but the seasoning is way salty. Probably just going to order regular fries next time. The fries itself are crispy and well fried. Perfect. Maui pizza is their Hawaiian as you've probably surmised due to its name. I think their pizza is pretty good. The dough is fluffy and crispy on the outside, the sauce isn't sparse or oozing with it on the pie, the cheeses (provolone and mozzarella) are melted and portioned well so its not overly cheesy which makes eating a pizza messy, and the toppings are fresh and of good quality. I would definitely recommend this place over the plethora of sports bars down Roswell Rd.
(4)Fred M.
Taken the place as my new favorite wing place in town since Wing Factory has faltered. Great flavors. Huge wings. Great prices. It's a dive but the best places always are. I did not give 5 stars because I am a really big chili pepper fan and their hottest sauce just has more cayenne and black pepper. Should they step up their game and throw some habanero sauces into the mix I will gladly give a 5th star.
(4)Spenser H.
Liked the garlic Parmesan wings and the hot honey mustards. The hot terayki were pretty good. I heard the servers ranting about jerk fries. Can't wait to come back and try those. Cheep beer though too so great place!
(5)Ron D.
The other reviews of this place have to be a joke. This place is awful. I've had better wings at Zaxby's. The sandwich (Italian) tasted like it was something frozen in a box at Publix. And the service was horrible. Seriously. Don't eat here.
(1)Kwame O.
I would call clays one of the best hole in a wall sports bar in sandy springs. I have worked in the area for 10 years and found out this place five years ago. They are right across from the Toyota dealership on Roswell road . The place is famous for there huge wings , pizza and beer. They always have beer specials on fri , sat and Sunday . It is a small establishment so seating is very limited on those days. Other than that the staff and service are top notch !

There's a problem with Atlanta dive bars. It's called pretension. Clay's Sports Cafe doesn't suffer from that affliction. After years bar hopping through the Buckhead Triangle to Pool Hall, Red Door, Five Paces, etc. I started to realize the issue with these so called "dive bars" is the general air of snobbery. From the bartenders and clientele right down to the lack of food and decent service. If I wanted to party with my girls, plus run into everyone I'd ever met in Buckhead, these were the places to go. But now I'm on the other side of my 20s (plus married) so those days are over. Clay's is a sweet place to combine the best of those worlds. Walking into Clay's you're back in the dive bar scene. It's a hole-in-the-wall on Roswell Road without even a marquee. There's maybe a dozen tables inside and a few TVs with the local games. They even had on the Atlanta Dream. Pleasant surprise: pitchers are cheap! Miller, Budweiser, and the like are only $7.49 and Sweetwater 420 was only $11.49. Their pitcher prices trump almost every bar in Buckhead. Plus Clay's provided icy cold mugs to hold our brew. The food is also reasonably priced and super tasty. Kevin P. and I over-ordered: starting with mozzarella sticks (a generous portion with marvelous marinara), the Clay's pizza (we should have gotten the 10-inch instead of the 14 because half the pizza is in our fridge) plus a Wing Basket of 10 wings, Cajun fries and celery. All the veggies were fresh, the meat well-seasoned, and we're still full the next day. Y'all know from reading my reviews that good service is essential. Our waitress was terrific and even the manager was busing tables and bringing food. Southern Hospitality at its finest...something the Buckhead dive bars often lack. Kevin P. said it was one of the cheapest date nights we've had considering the amount of food we scarfed. We're thrilled to have found a dive bar in our Sandy Springs neighborhood that sans pretension and a great dining experience.
(5)Ryan F.
Bar none the best wings in Atlanta. This place has great sports bar food and a bunch of TVs to watch a variety of sports on. All of the staff are kind and attentive and do a wonderful job of remembering regulars' orders. The owner is a super cool guy who takes pride in his business and it shows. I would recommend Clay's to anybody in the area - it may be a hike for those in Midtown/Downtown but certainly worth the short hop up 400! Be absolutely certain to try the buffalo basket (wings and fries)!
(5)Danny B.
By far the best wing place. There's a reason they've been in business for so long. No other wings even come close. Looking forward to my next visit.
(5)Billy H.
Most people that live in Sandy Springs have never even eaten at Clay's unless they have been referred by a friend or co-worker. The place barely has a sign and you would think that it is closed because the whole strip looks abandoned. However, don't let the exterior or interior of this place fool you... this hole in the wall has some of the best buffalo wings in Atlanta. PERIOD. This isn't a place you will necessarily want to go to watch a football game but it is the ideal place to satisfy your buffalo wing craving. This place has been around forever and I'm kind of glad that few others have discovered this glorious wing joint.
(5)Alex K.
First off, this place needs a sign out front- or something. I passed it on the road, and then couldn't even find it in the plaza until I called them. Though being inconspicuous does give it some cred. The highlights here are the very good finger food and cheap pitchers. For a "beer drinker" like myself, their selection honestly left something to be desired. With a list that consists mainly of american and import adjuncts, my friends and I went with a couple of pitchers of refreshing go-to Yuengling at a surprisingly cheap 7.50 each. I had jalapeno poppers which came out piping hot and full of gooey cheese. For wings, I had the XTRA HOT ones which definitely had a nice kick (unlike most places that advertise hot wings but give you nothing but a nauseating aroma) but also had a good flavor. The place itself is more of a neighborhood snack stand than a bar; there isnt actually a bar inside, just a bunch of booths and tables. Overall, a good after work experience.
(4)Chet M.
A great dive cafe. Always great pizza, salads and fantastic wings and tenders. A little hard to find the first time but well worth the effort.
(5)Keith K.
This is truly a "Hidden Gem", I don't think the sign is above the entrance anymore. This used to be one of my regular lunch time places to eat when I was in the area. Now I make a special trip to Sandy Springs at least twice a month to eat there. From the salads to the wings the food is great. The inside can use a little touching up but hey, I came for the food not the ambiance. I'm not a person who loves garlic but their garlic wings are awesome. I suggest you try them just make sure you have a pack of Altoids in the car.
(5)NerdoLoco H.
Garlic parmesan wings = death bed meal. My brother brought me, hubbie and two young sons here. So glad he did, its our new favorite wing place. Prices and service are good, too. At first I didn't even notice a sign outside. It was a total hole in the wall. I walked in and noticed what a dive it was and instantly got excited. I knew the food would be good because its always places like this where you can get the best grub, but I was surprised at how good. The wings here are amazing. I crave them constantly now! Update: just went again yesterday and the garlic wings were even better then before. OMG, how do they do it?! I think they're drinking back there in the kitchen. Jalapeno wings were awesome. Cheese fries had real cheese instead of nuclear. Nothing sucks about this place.
(5)Max S.
I love good wings...and these are damn good (10 wings half hot half hot ranch). The wings aren't mutant size but not small by any means. The sauce seemed homemade and fresh. Clay's is a hole in the wall, a hidden gem. The fries are amazing too, with perfect amount of seasoning. Service was pretty good, nothing too fancy. Must be packed on Sundays during football season, and space is limited. Pitcher of beer for $7.99 all day? That is a helluva deal. Better wings than Taco Mac for sure....and wayyy better than JR Crickets.
(4)Sam B.
Really good food and it's cheap.
(4)Johnathon T.
If you can find chicken wings better in Atlanta, I'll be surprised. Clay's is not a place you would ever find yourself trying on your own. It's situated on a secluded part of Roswell Road in a strip mall style building that looks run down and dumpy. Honestly, if I drove by it, I wouldn't give it a second look. But after checking Yelp for great chicken wings and giving it a shot, I'm a total convert. These wings are AWESOME. Walking inside, you'll wonder what the heck you're doing there, as the inside is about as questionable as the out, but I can say with confidence these are absolutely the best wings I've found in the city (although, to be fair, I haven't made the trek to Jamal's yet). They're crispy, massive and positively slathered in the sauce of your choice, served up hot and fast and at a reasonable price. Try the lemon pepper, garlic Parmesan and ranch wings for sure. Their buffalo wings are decent, but the off flavors are where it's at here. The onion rings are also amazing and the fries are good too. I've heard their pizza is great as well, but as I haven't tried it I can't say for certain.
(5)Alex S.
I had the Chicken Cordon Blue Sub and it was really really good :) We also had the lemon pepper fries, but I am not a fan, there is just something strange about that combination on fries. I'm just not a fan. The cajun fries were gooooood. I wish my sub came with cajun fries, but for only $6.00 who would complain? They didn't have blue moon beer though. So the sub and cajun fries receive four stars. The lemon pepper fries and the lack of blue moon beer receive one star .....
(3)Simran B.
The food was great! Wings and pizza were yummy. Service was terrible!!!!!
(3)Kelly B.
Read about how good the wings are so decided to give them a try. I will say if you like your wings crispy then this is the place for you! I do want my chicken fully "charged" but not as done as these were. In my opinion, they are not worth the hype. The service was friendly and charming but they also were not packed so there was no reason to expect anything less. I like to see a local small business owner succeed so check them out! They clearly have a following. Several people ordered pizza so maybe I will give that a shot.
(3)Matthew L.
Easily the best wings in Atlanta. Awesome hole-in-the-wall atmosphere with friendly service and a great bar food menu. Nowhere are you going to find better prices on beer pitchers. I've always believed that chicken wings are an inherently cheap food and should be priced accordingly--not as a $12 appetizer. Clay's abides. No happy hour, no specials, just classic food priced right. Been going for over a decade and I call this place "the best kept secret in Atlanta."
(5)Loren M.
Not an easy place to find. Clay's is a tiny hole-in-the-wall in Sandy Springs, and the last time I was there they had no sign above the door (not sure what happened to it). The best lemon pepper wings I've hand in Atlanta. Their regular buffalo wings are good as well just be careful if you don't like them too spicy, they're medium is what most places consider hot, and their hot is blazing. I would strongly suggest ordering takeout from here, this place isn't much for atmosphere.
(4)Nicholas B.
Good food, very large portions!!!
(4)Adam R.
In the land of Mordor (also called OTP by some) good food can be hard to find, especially good wings. If one more person suggests Taco Mac for wings I am going to make them into a Hobbit. Luckily there is one place in Sandy Springs that has awesome wings: Clay's! Thanks to Gretchen I was first introduced to Clay's. Most of their sauces can be ordered in regular or spicy variations which in itself is rare. Their lemon pepper wings are awesome and very filling. No pigeon wings here. The fries are also cooked very well, you know for fries. When I have ordered to go, the paper the fries come in has turned almost completely clear by the time I get home. Everyone knows the clearer a fried food can make paper, the more delicious it is. The times I have eaten inside I have received good and fast service and they have several televisions that are on whatever big game happens to be on. A couple months ago I was without my car for a few days and was worried about what I was going to get for food. Nothing good is within walking distance and I never get things delivered so I started to brainstorm. Suddenly Clay's came to mind. Yes, they deliver! They definitely saved my life in my hour of need with their delicious wings so I am very thankful. Mmm now I want wings!
(4)James A.
Hands down the best wings I've ever had. They were cooked perfectly, the skin was perfect and not soggy and dripping with fat, and the sauces were very tasty. Our waitress told us the owner makes the sauces himself. You can assuredly tell there's something different about them. The place is a gem overall. The food is great. The beer is cheap! And not happy hour pricing, either! Forget the bitter person that gave this place 1 star. I'll be a regular here when I'm cheating on my diet.
(5)Kevin W.
After reading all the reviews raving about the wings, I made a special trip over to Clay's to give them a try. While I can't agree with many that they are the best wings I've had, they most certainly do deserve a top score. I prefer my wings non-breaded and these were breaded just slightly. The sauce (I had medium) was delicious. While they may not rank at the very top, they are hovering there and I will go again and give them another try. The service was great. My order taker was gorgeous and the owner treated me like a long time customer. I recommend Clay's.
(4)Jeff S.
I have only had delivery from Clays. But the food has always been on point. From the salads to the wings and even the pizza, we have always enjoyed what we ordered.
(4)Brannon A.
The best hot wing pizza in Atlanta!!! This place is a staple in Sandy Springs.
(5)Charice M.
I like to eat. Like seriously eat! Now when I want some wangs, yes wangs, I go to Clay's. They are cooked well and not little like he kind you get at B-Dubs. In an array of flavors, you are guaranteed to find the one for you. Call some friends, order up a mixed platter of wings and some cajun fries and you will have a good time. OH and did I mention they have beer and a big screen TV?
(5)Travis M.
$7.50 pitchers and very tasty pizza and wings - the value can't be beat! It's a little hard to find - just look for the Lamp & Shade store on the west side of Roswell Road (across from Pep Boys).
(5)Matt C.
this place is definitely as close as you can get to the term 'hidden gem' in the age of yelp, mostly because there is no sign on the door. thank god the building itself lists the name, along with its building mates, or i would've driven by the place 50 times. small, no frills, dive of a place, with some of the best wings i've ever had. several tv's on the walls tuned to sports channels, but none of them big. went for lunch and the place was packed... started with some cheese fries, which i'd probably skip next time around.. a little flavorless, but heavy on the cheese. tried 'hot' wings, 'garlic parmesan', and 'ranch hot'. would probably skip the ranch hot next time around, these were just 'hot' wings with some sort of ranch seasoning sprinkled on top. the other two flavors were GREAT, though. really small beer selection, but luckily they had 420 on draft, and the beer prices were great to boot. wings aren't something i'd really drive out of my way for, so i doubt i'll be back to clay's regularly. but if you're in the neighborhood, or are wing-obsessed, do yourself a favor and check this place out.
(4)Eric H.
A hole in the wall, but flat out, you will not find better wings in Atlanta.
(4)Michael E.
They have the best wings in town. You must try the hot lemon pepper.
(5)Talitha D.
So I went back and tried the pizza. I ordered a classic, pepperoni with extra cheese. Oh my goodnessssss! Absolutely awesomeeee pizza! The sauce had a really nice flavor and the crust was a nice fluffy size. I seriously just love this place to death. An order of the wings, some pizza, and a large glass of ice cold coke would send me to heaven. It may not be the healthiest, but hey, a girl's gotta pig out every now and then! :D
(5)Ron E.
Great wings. Best I've ever had. And for only 50 cents more you can get all drums or all flats. If you don't know about Clay's it might be difficult to find since he has no signage on the building but the name is on the road sign with the other two stores located there. But you won't be disappointed in this casual place if you are ready for some great wings in about 10 different flavors. The pizza is also very good!
(5)Jae L.
Hmm, wish I could tell you, but it seems that they may only want to serve certain people. Hours are open until 11, but for some reason, I walk in at 10:21 in an almost full house and there are at least 2 tables open and a guy in the kitchen signals the waitress to "cut it off", so she lies and says "We close at 10". BS, clearly they don't want business...and I'll be sure to bring my business elsewhere next time. I would have appreciated for them to just be honest and say we ran out of wings or the kitchen had to close early...
(1)Rahsaan T.
Wings are awesome! I've only been during lunch. Seating is limited but food is very good.
(4)Mark J.
Top notch. Best wings in Atlanta. Kind of hidden in a small strip mall. Once you eat their wings you'll realize you found a dive bar gem. The kind of wings you'll crave.
(5)Russ G.
Damn, I forgot all about this place. I drove past today and said 'chit, I should review them', so here it is. A few months ago I was helping a friend move some office furniture, and offered to buy Clay's for lunch. I said "who?", and he promptly told me Clay's is the best sports bar ever. Ok, why not. I'm not a sports bar fan, but it sounded like they'd have good food, and I could grab a beer at least. It's in a small strip and if you're not looking for it you'll drive right by, not a lot of signage, small lot, looks more like an insurance office than a place to eat. Inside, lots of sports memorabilia, large tables with big vinyl booths, plenty of TVs, just like you'd expect. Beer list is mediocre, but I ordered up a Yuengling I think and a burger, easiest way to decide if I like a place is to have a burger. Service was quick, polite, and the food came out pretty quick, and it was very good. Burger wasn't huge but good sized, fries were tasty and cooked well, and my beer was replaced as soon as the first one got low. Overall quite a surprise and a good one.
(4)J. M.
This is my favorite place for wings. On the planet. Hot, teriyaki, honey bbq, lemon pepper - they're all fantastic. After years of eating the wings here, I finally ordered a pizza, only to find out they have the best pizza in the area also. I've heard their sandwiches and salads are great also, but I'm too addicted to the wings and pizza to try them out. They have takeout and delivery as well.
(5)Mike M.
For the best Wings in town, this is the place!!! It is a hole in the wall, but the have some serious wings. Served on pizza trays, the wings are usually very big, not puny. A variety of flavors, but I go for Mild, which is comporable to medium at other places. Clay's is in a small strip of about 4 store fronts, with plenty of parking. If you want some great wings, this is the place!
(5)Knowing L.
I joke and call Clay's my new boyfriend! Delivery is the best! I have had about everything on the menu and it hits the spot every time! When my lazy self does not want to leave the house. The wings, pizza and salad come to me. The place it self is like a college bar but regardless of all that it is a great place for wings and such.
(4)C A R.
I finally found Clay's as it is hard to find even though it is on Roswell Rd. The place is small but the folks that work behind the counter are SUPER friendly. Had the hot wings and they were good enough to make me return. As a warning, the hot are not like burn your mouth hot but hot enough to get you going. I am definitely a fan and will go back.
(4)Collin D.
Great place! Ordered the cheeseburger sub with Cajun fries. Incredible sub and great fries. Service was so-so
(5)Monica H.
it looks like a hole in the wall, but don't judge a book by its cover. the wings here are mmm mmm good. I like the buffalo medium and the lemon pepper, both extra crispy. me and my man usually order a small order of wings and a small cheese pizza. it is the perfect lunch and it is very affordable. we are never disappointed.
(4)Marcus R.
A diamond in the rough... This place isn't much to look at and you probably wouldn't give it a second thought if you drove by but if you like wings this is hands down one of the best spots I've ever been to. I haven't tried anything else on the menu so I can't go a full 5 stars, but the phenomenal wings are worth 4 stars alone. It's a laid back kind of place with some TV's tuned to whatever games might be on. What else can I say? Other than the beer is cold and the wait staff is always friendly. If you're in the area or don't mind a short drive it's completely worth it.
(4)Piñero U.
The guy that takes the orders over the phone has a nasty attitude and so does the delivery man. I will never come back to them again. Two times have I had the displeasure of dealing with these ungrateful people. I have twice ordered for my office friends, the next time they order, I'll just go to publix to get a sandwich!
(1)E M.
Clay's is an unassuming sports bar located in a tiny-by-Sandy-Springs-standards strip mall on Roswell Road. There is little indication that this hole in the wall has the best wings in the city. I would venture they're the best in the country, but I haven't been to Buffalo so I will reserve that judgment for now. It's cramped, a little dingy and the TV situation is far from ideal, so I haven't dined in much. I've probably had the wings delivered 100 times, though. We get together for cards a lot in the Springs so Clay's is on speed dial. Delivery is always fast. Celery and dressings are aplenty. I could live off the lemon pepper wings, whose flavor is unmatched in my experience, but the hot teriyaki, jerk, teriyaki and hot are all delicious as well. Plus, they're huge! Like the guy before me said, I hope this place stays a secret. I would hate for prices and delivery times to spike. Yes, I know that's selfish. Sorry. The wings are really, really tasty.
