Papa Bears Chicken - Indianapolis

First of all, the owner is a really nice guy... very welcoming...He really knows how to cook wings..i ordered 18 wings,all flats,and they were crispy outside, moist and tender inside..my issue is with the sauces..lemon pepper prepackaged..the j was not homemade...if you cook wings this well,make your own sauces and seasonings..18 flats,with fries,was 42.00....I'm sorry,but I can get 20 wings from KSR,for much less ...and you get carrots, celery,and the best bleu cheese with your wings..i hope he makes changes,because he cooks wings to perfection..

Not gonna lie, the high amount of reviews on this place gave me a lot of hope for a fresh made to order kinda chicken place, but I've had better wings from Pizza Hut than what they attempted to serve me. Paid $45 for 20 wings (bone in) despite the online menu listing a different price as well as the menu inside the building. While thinking to myself that it felt a little foolish, I thought the wings must be worthy of such a ridiculous price; I was wrong. These wings were completely raw-dogged, no sauce despite asking whoever was cooking with one shoe on in the back 3 times if there was sauce was on my order. You ever tried to eat 20 wings dry? It's like eating a raw potato. Not to mention the bare wings were soggy, tasteless, and, well, just frankly garbage in every category a wing could be good. Almost no flavor and you could practically taste the fact their grease hadn't been changed in at least a week. Really, really, let me down on this one. I almost hope this place just ripped me off this once and this isnt how they operate, because that would simply be embarrassing. And while I hate leaving a terrible review, they deserve nothing more than a failing health code grade and demolition.

I had been trying to catch this restaurant for months. Their hours were always hit or miss. I guess I got lucky today and they were open. I hear they are consistently open on weekends, but good luck trying to catch them on weekdays. The owner is pretty much a one man shop. He was very friendly. There is a nice private lot on the side of the restaurant for you to park. In addition to their wings, they have king crab legs, lamb chops, burgers, fish, ribs and shrimp. I came for wings and that is what I got. They have a few different sauces that you can get on your wings including, hot honey, spicy garlic, mango habanero, buffalo, Miami style, BBQ, and Kicken Bourbon, which is the sauce I went with. I got the 10 piece with fries. The restaurant does not have a place to really sit down and eat. There is a small table with two chairs in there, along with a couple of other chairs, but I think those are for waiting. They also do not have any drinks. You can however, go next door and get some Londo's Flameade next door or hit the convenience store up across the street if you are thirsty. I waited about 15 minutes for my food. It was a nice day, so I took it to a nearby park to eat. The wings were huge, the size of a baby's fist. The food was delicious. Very flavorful and I like the way the sauce stuck to the meat. It was well worth the wait. The fries were pretty good too. They had my licking my fingers. Anyway, this joint is definitely worth checking out to get your wing fix. They have some delicious food and great service.
