Where To Find The Best Hot Honey Lemon Pepper Wings In Shreveport

I love finding new places to eat, even if it means my "dining room" for the afternoon is the front seat of my car. Lately, a new wing eatery has West Shreveport in an absolute chokehold, and the most impressive part? It’s all based on word-of-mouth.

When people started whispering about a secret spot serving up legendary Hot Honey Lemon Pepper wings, I knew I had to track it down.

BayouByYou is a dedicated wing shop tucked inside the Exxon gas station on Pines Road. While a gas station might seem like an unlikely culinary destination, we all know that in the South, some of the best flavor is found in the most unassuming places.

What makes BayouByYou even more special is the heart behind the counter. It is run by a talented 25-year-old entrepreneur who is sharing his gift for cooking with the entire Ark-La-Tex. When I walked up and told him I’d heard rumors he was frying up the best wings in the city, he just smiled and made a promise: "I won't let you down."

He kept that promise.

The Hot Honey Lemon Pepper Wings Will Have You in a Chokehold

Let’s talk about the stars of the show. These wings have the perfect sauce-to-chicken ratio. They are spiced to perfection, coated in a sweet and sticky glaze that will literally have you licking your fingers. The menu is a dream for wing lovers, featuring everything from Hot Lemon Pepper and Buffalo to Honey Buffalo and Cajun Original.

Because quality matters here, every order is made fresh. You should expect an average wait time of about 15 minutes, but trust me, it is worth every second of the anticipation. While you wait, do yourself a favor and order extra Cajun Corn. If you’re like me, you’ll skip the fries any day if it means more of that seasoned, buttery corn.

If you’re ready to see what the hype is about, you can find BayouByYou inside the Exxon at 6701 Pines Rd, Shreveport, LA. If you're in a rush, you can call ahead at (318) 686-9400 and ask for the wing shop. Have you tried them yet, or are you still waiting for an invitation?
