These perfectly moist, crispy wings with nuclear sauce are some of the best wings I’ve ever tasted. Great ambiance with games on the TV and an impressive variety of drinks on tap, but the food is good enough that I’d go for that alone. 10/10 would recommend.

We got the family meal and it's 100% worth it. Feeds four comfortably. The service is spot on and the wings are nice and flavorful. The Thai Zing is the best one we had.They're really generous with the garlic on their garlic fries. I would definitely recommend getting them if you like that.Besides that, beer is fairly priced with happy hour rates and the like. You can get a pitcher for a bit of savings.There is a TV for basically every table here, it's kind of insane but this is a great place to eat food, drink beer, and watch sports, so definitely go for it.

Waited over 30 mins never got my food!Terrible service, bad staff, and no atmosphere. The person in charge Mario, never took accountability and gave me over 20 excuses while 6 people that arrived 30 mins after me receiving all their food and drinks. He said they were busy, yet all waiters were standing around by the corner of the bar bored for over 15 mins on their phones. He (mario) on the other had just stood next to the register for those 30 mins. If management put this Mario in charge I feel bad for the staff and customers, as a grown man I expected more professionalism out of him. I also didn't appreciate the constant lying to my face.

Whoever priced your tenders was certainly smoking something... $26 for six tenders? Absurdly high price for basically bar food.

My all time favorite restaurant. I always tell my friends and family I'd choose this over any Michellin star restaurant even if you controlled for price. As it stands, this is the most expensive fried chicken you can find lol.I went to Santa Clara University when Smoke Eaters was across the street. I've loved it since then. I've spent many thousands of dollars here and never regretted a single one.It's not classic fried chicken. It's Smoke Eaters. It's its own thing. And it's GOATED.

Ordered nachos and 2 orders of buffalo wings. I ate about 4bites of my nachos and then my 5 year old son needed to go to the restroom, so we left the table to use the restroom. When we came back the female worker had taken both our plates and dumped them. Then proceeded to blame me and my child because “how was she supposed to know we were still in the restaurant”. I asked her to remake it and she said I could have a soda and that’s all she could do for me. Worst service I’ve ever dealt with. $65+ and an hour of my time waiting down the drain. Definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!

Great place to eat and chill! We ordered some Wingers with Lemon Pepper & Atomic sauces, Beef Nachos, and a Cali Burger with Curly Fries. It seems like this place is pet friendly. There are TV screens everywhere, so a great place to watch a game plus they have so many different beers on tap.

Very crispy and delicious hot wings. I tried the mango habanero and the honey Sriracha and neither was as spicy as I expected but both were very delicious. The bartender was super nice and attentive and made it an enjoyable experience. I wish they would put captioning on the TVs so you can understand what they are saying. Other than that, excellent all around.

I really like this place... usually a very good (and diverse) selection of beer on tap, and I like their wings and snacks. Can get crowded when there's local sports on TV, and if you come here during a 49ers game, or before a concert at Levi's stadium, you better be prepared for crowds. Only slight downside: if you're here during the last hour or so before closing, they start cleaning with some really foul-smelling chemicals. I'm glad they're cleaning, but I'll start leaving well before closing.Vegetarian options: Not really a good place for vegetarians, unless you're just looking for beer.Parking: Usually no problem finding nearby parking.
