Phifer's Hot Wings & Bar-B-Q 1023 Shelton Avenue, Statesville, NC 28677

"Bury me here! Soul food at its finest. Nothing fancy but the food makes up for the rest! Possibly the best potato salad in NC"

"Best fried Chicken and sauce in the world! Real homemade Mac and cheese! You cannot find a made from scratch restaurant like this anywhere else. I’m a regular and will be forever!!"

"I wanted to try something new and looked this place up. I should’ve read the one star reviews because they are 100% correct. The 5 wing dinner is AWFUL. The chicken wasn’t seasoned at all, literally they dumped it in oil and said here ya go! The baked beans AWFUL, fries tasted like old grease, broccoli casserole was soooo mushy. And I said fried chicken on the phone and they gave me the hot wings. The lady upfront is rude and said anyways, we assume you want the sauce if you don’t say. She’s very confrontational and probably the owner which makes sense at to why she acts the way she does. She has no one to answer to. I will never return. Very dirty inside as well. Health department will be called. Old candy in machines as well. I ordered at 12:15 I got my wrong order at 12:54pm."

"A little run down. Well worth it though. Food was amazing!! Kids keep asking if we can go back. Keep in mind we were on our way to a band competition, who knows though. May make the trip again just to eat"

"Fried Chicken and Wings are top notch. Spicy sauce for fried chicken is simply delicious with heat everyone can enjoy. Flavorful buffalo hot sauce on wings. Crinkled cut regular fries are always crispy. Can’t speak to other sides but will say you don’t judge a bakery for their salads, reviews focusing on sides at Phifer’s miss the mark."
