Chicken and Watermelon

Great food ! They have a wonderful array of specialty sauces and drinks. The location is a bit busy, but the food is wonderful so I don’t mind. The wait time is about 10 and the food was served pipping hot ! So far I love this place !

They had a wide variety of interesting flavors. I got the caribbean bbq and which tasted pretty good except for the fact they forgot the sauce. I also tried one of the chipotle flavors which had flavor and good kick. I want to go back to see how the rest of the flavors are.
The inside of place is super small and the bathroom is in a closet that’s too close to operate in. Add that to the explicit R&B playing and you may want to leave the kiddos at home for this one. Overall they have a bunch of creative flavors at very decent prices. I’ll just opt for the to-​go service.

First time going there today. I’ve heard about this place from a few people, so I figured I’d give it a try. I tried their 0017^th wings, and I must say that I am hooked. They have several other flavors to choose from. I will try all of them lol.
They also have some good sides as well. I tried their fried mushrooms, and they were delicious. Next time I’m going to try the fries. They have a new customer in me.

Chicken wangs are my thang.
When a place starts getting a rep for finger lickin good chicken, its on my radar.
They are located on the sketchy street of Claiborne and the décor in the tiny interior is lets say, eclectic. 2 dimensional art work of Lil Wayne and pictures of their food adorns the walls. There is an order window and a pick up window that is actually a cut out in a door. You cant see anything that is going on back there and Im pretty sure we dont want to.
As for the chicken, very big pieces for very little prices. The lemon pepper was our fav (it usually is) and the chipotle dry rub was pretty good too. The cheese fries have canned cheese on top which was a disappointment. I tried the watermelon punch and it was basically watermelon kool-​aid. I got a kick out of some of their menu items like Oprah punch and funny wing flavors. And for $ 1, you can get yourself a wedge of watermelon.
There are many combo options and catering pans too. They were very nice and offered samples of the sauces we inquired about. Once 12:00 rolled around there was a line waiting to order.
I would like to go back at least one more time and try different flavors.
The bathrooms were scary just to warn you and made me question just how old this building was.
I will definitely keep them on my list for a house party catering option since they only charge $ 45 for a 100 piece.
So if youre in the area and looking for a cheap lunch, pull on up in the front lot and get you some chicken and watermelon!

This place has great wings.
I have only been once on a groupon. I normally wouldnt have stopped here. It is not in the best area and its not very attractive. I almost feel like I might offend someone just by walking into this establishment… But dont let that fool you.
Menu is pretty basic… wings…and sides (fried this and that). Wings come wet or with dry rub. We got the honey bbq. You can also get ranch dressing upon request. The wait isnt long and there are booths inside, each with its own tv mounted on the wall.
I dont know about dining in as an option but waiting isnt an issue. Staff is friendly and helpful if you get confused (like i did with my groupon).
I would definitely come back. and i highly recommend the wings.

I love all the flavors. We used the groupon and it helped us enjoys about 4 flavors. I wish this place was in Ohio, I was definitely be visiting more often.

With a name like Chicken and Watermelon, in what many would consider the «ghetto,» you know you gotta serve some tasty wings to stay in business. And that they do!
I found out about the place through a friend. She works at the radio station, and they did a parody about this place and had themselves and listeners posing in front of the sign and their wings. What started as a joke and potshot at the blatant racism in their business’s name ended up being C&W’s best marketing strategy: getting people to buy their chicken and eating it! And once you taste their chicken, the joke’s on you!
So she and many listeners became obsessed with this place and now dream about their wings day and night. With their extensive menu, it’s hard to not convince your friends and family that wings are on the menu for every meal. Everything I’ve had here is good and their wings are known to be big and juicy. I wish they would give you more sauce since they’re all so tasty and varied. I love their Boogie which is a spicy fruity (pineapple maybe) thick concoction. Their Jamaican BBQ is also spicy and savory. Both are complex sauces that leave you wanting more.
Their fried liver is only $ 2 and is a huge amount of food– way better value than their fries. But you can’t have wings without fries which need the cajun season and ranch dressing to complete it. And watermelon, of course, for only $ 1 for a huge slice.
Seafood options now (Disclaimer– I haven’t tried any so can’t vouch on its tastiness nor freshness.) And tons of different desserts.
Fried corn is batterless and so good when the oil is fresh. Cakes and pies are big enough for two. They’ve got a Groupon right now so their cheap prices are even cheaper for a limited time… Wonder if it’s because Claiborne in front of their store is a current clusterfuck. Yet another smart marketing strategy! The owners seriously know what they’re doing!
Whatever the case, brave the neighborhood and the parking nightmare to grab some of the best wings in the city.
This place is a definite take-​out joint. Even though they’ve tried with the interior, the few times I’ve attempted to eat in there, I’ve been panhandled and had a general sense of unease. Don’t remember the condition of the bathrooms. Star taken off for not hiring someone to take care of their dine-​in patrons. The girl behind the glass is already handling the phone and all orders coming in. They need a host/​server which would deter non-​customers from going in. Not cool.
So call ahead if you can. It will save you precious minutes between you and your wings.
Note: for anyone interested in the news behind the «joke,» the story can be found here:
Sad that you can’t see the music video anymore. The commercial was pretty funny and a true classic for John Osterlind and the Assclowns. Top 5 performances.

First time here I got the Cajun creole chicken it was good with the Cajun fries. Watermelon punch wasn’t that good but if you mix it with the Oprah punch it tastes better will be back

Got the Chipotle Dry Rub! Very good with great Cajun fries! Also the stuffed crab shells were good as well.
Be careful with the punch, it’s super sweet and i felt like i was going die instantly. Lol
But i just went next door to get some daiquiris from Jazz next door. Great service as well! I loved it!

MmmmmHmm!!! Chicken and Watermelon!!! Now while the name is not so savory don’t let that deter you from the best Chicken Wings in the city hands down!
My friend and I were hungry for some wings and I had recently brought a deal on Groupon for $ 20 bucks worth of food for $ 12 at Chicken and Watermelon. My friend and I decided to go to SouthShore Donuts first and then pick up the wings, so we called in our order in. The clerk on the phone was so nice and she didn’t need me to spell my name and pronounced it correctly. A small thing I know but I was very impressed.
The parking here is terrible. Located on the corner of Lousiana and S Claiborne, with construction and having to back up into oncoming traffic to leave is not a good look. Forcing me to take one star off their rating. Also the neighborhood is not the greatest. Yet I personally don’t have an issue with that, you gotta go where the good food is and sometimes that takes you out of your comfort zone.
We ordered the 25 piece wings with 4 flavors: Boogie Bird, Honey BBQ, Carribean BBQ, and Honey Mustard (my fav!!), an order of grilled corn, and cajun ranch fries. Everything was out of this world!!! The wings were well coated with sauce, the corn was sweet and slightly spicy and the ranch fries were drool worthy.
With an extensive selection of wet sauces and dry rub for the wings, sides galore and the Kool-​Aid like drink concoctions, this menu will keep you coming back. Even if the parking won’t.

great wings with a number of flavors. The fries were horrible though

These wings are off the chain! Introduced by my honey, this place sits on S. Claiborne, next door to Jazz Daiquiri Lounge. Chicken and Watermelon is not the most glamorous place, it’s that «hole in the wall,» but sometimes that’s where you find the best food.
The menu offers many flavors and Kool-​Aid like punches to wash it all down with. And to make it even better, its not a bank breaker.
This place is finger lickin’ good.

Not the biggest wing fan, but these wings are worth the trip. Delicious. And they have fried corn on a cob! And the service was great.

Situated in a little less than desirable section of New Orleans, this hidden gem offers amazing wings with fixings. There are about 20 different wing flavors! My friend and I had the garlic parm and honey BBQ (20) with fries and a sweet tea, which was about 20 dollars total. The wings were nice, hot and delicious. Great crunch and flavor on the garlic parm (they could ease up a bit on the Parmesan) and the honey BBQ were good as well. The place itself is a little small with limited walking space and about 5 booths to sit in. The ordering process can be a bit more efficient and clear but the ladies were very nice and our food came quickly. There are also mini TV’s at every booth to keep you entertained while you wait. Overall, we loved it and would def visit again.

If you don’t mind the rough neighborhood, almost non existent parking or the traffic from all the street construction this is a pretty good place for wings. The place is a dump and people working here were really rude. I got the feeling it was because I was the wrong skin color. I really wanted to give this place 1 star or less but I did enjoy the wings. I tried 5 of the many flavors they had and liked all of them. I can’t say much about the watermelon punch because I think they just gave me Kool-​aid. This place could be so much more. Hopefully they will read peoples comments and make changes. I could overlook some things but never the service.

GREAT WINGS!!! FORGET WINGSTOP and the rest! My girlfriend is a picky eater and after we picked up our order all I heard was smacking and sucking noises. The only complaint she had was that she didn’t have ketchup in the bag.
This establishment is what southern folk would deem a hole-​in-​the-​wall, which are known for great food. The name seems comical but the wings and beverages are serious. If you want a taste of what the locals in New Orleans eat on the regular, and not what is fed to the tourist on Bourbon street, I would highly recommend a stop here. It’s really close to the Super Dome and Arena; just five minutes over the bridge on Claiborne Avenue. There is even a daiquiris (popular New Orleans alcoholic frozen drink) shop next door. The parking is kind of crazy but the food is worth the trip. My favorite flavor is 0017.

We love fried chicken so while having drinks our bartender suggested that we come here for good wings. Went on a Tuesday afternoon. I must say I was impressed. I tried the garlic pepper, 0017, exotic Cajun (new flavor not on menu), original fried, and one more I can’t remember. All were full of flavor and the customer service was great. Tried all three punches; Oprah, watermelon (tastes just like watermelon), and the concoction. The young lady let us sample flavors because it’s so much to choose from. Definitely going here each time I visit Nola!

BEST WINGS EVER !!! LOOOOVE the Garlic & Parmesan wings, they were amazing !! There were tons of different flavors & I’m sure that they’re all good but unfortunately I only got to try one. The wings were cooked just right, they weren’t all soggy & greasy like a lot of the other places I’ve eaten at. I also got the Loaded Potato Fries with extra cheese & they were sooo good, they actually put extra cheese on them so they were super cheesy. We got our order to go & it didn’t take very long for it to be ready but they do have a dining area too if you want to stay & eat. Arielle was working the register & she was very nice and friendly. They also sell all kinds of different flavored punches too but I didn’t get a chance to try any of them, I guess It’ll have to wait until next time.

Great little chicken spot. Wonderful variety of flavors and quantity of chicken wings available. The kool aid punch was pretty good and the pictures of Obama with rappers and Muhammad Ali were nice. The place has a hood ambiance which adds to the charm. Also directly next door to a daiquiri spot, which doesn’t hurt at all.
The bathroom was disgusting and the employees attitudes were as stank as the bathroom. Definitely a place where employees ARE NOT washing their hands. Eat here on the regular and your immune system will be able to take malaria or yellow fever and laugh. As long as you don’t have to pee or get friendly service, this place is the joint! I was even more excited to see no fake eyelashes or Remy hair make it into my platter. Just get your food, don’t make eye contact and leave.

They actually do have watermelon here along with watermelon punch, Obama punch, and Michelle punch (but for some reason no Ray Nagin chocolate punch). This is mainly a chicken wing focused joint with the addition of chicken gizzards, red beans, jalapeño bombers, fries and the namesake watermelon. They also offer the infamous 100 piece chicken.
