Comments on: Wings Over Burlington, “Red Alert & Teriyaki wings” http://whats4lunch.wordpress.com/2007/12/20/wings-over-burlington-red-alert-teriyaki-wings/ Do you ever ask yourself...?

Their flagship dish is the boneless wing, featuring high quality chicken. Their traditional wings are also quite meaty and succulent, real pieces of meat, not the ting bony things you find at hooters, with an emphasis on quality not quantity. You need to compare the price by the pound, not by the wing. I hope to go to Burlington in February, now that I know this place is open, I definitely want to try it out. My experience with the franchises is that they skimp on the amount of sauce, and don't have fresh blue cheese dressing, but rather have prepackaged stuff.

That is what separates them from the rest. The boneless are mighty tasty. They are known for their boneless wings. That is what separates them from the rest. The boneless are mighty tasty.

Now that is a good selling point. I'll have to make a note of that. Delivery until 3AM? Now that is a good selling point. I’ll have to make a note of that.

They are competing with places more like pizza joints than wing joints. They offer a lunch special where you get half a pound of chicken tenders, fries & a soda for $6.49, which is comparable to any other lunch you would find in the area. I think their major downfall is that they have reduced their lunch hours now and are mainly open for dinner. However, they are very smart to stay open until 3AM with delivery service! After a few beers I was very excited to find out from a friend that I could order from them at 1:30AM. I think in a market with the competition around them, their pricing is right on the ball.

Not only are the wings poorly prepared, but the price is too high. 75 cents per wing is too much, especially for a place that specializes in wings and should order wings in such quantity that they can reduce their price and still have a decent markup. 25 cent wings are the gold standard. The smart move, at least from a customer standpoint, is to offer 25 cent wings to bring in customers and then charge a higher markup on the side dishes and beverages. RJ's gives wings away for free every week, you've got to be able to compete with that. Fancy pants "gourmet" wings for 75 cents a piece is not how to do it. This is a shame.
