Blinky's

Sooooo glad Blinky's is back. You know why? They fried shrimp is so tasty and a good size. I was tired of riding out for miles just to find some fried shrimp I liked (besides Red Lobster). There are other places nearby but they are mediocre. These right here? These right here? They are breaded well and have a nice flavor. I'm already thinking about when I want to go back for more. Lol. The fried okra is great as well. Cooked well and the crust is nice. However, tbh $4 is a bit much for the amount (the picture shown was basically the full portion minus about 4 that I had already eaten). My husband had (and always has) fried tilapia and fries.

I can't say I've tried too many other items on the menu but I will one day I'm sure. I just got to get past this shrimp. Lol.

May Blinkys be blessed to stick around for years to come. Support small businesses ya'll.

Heard about this place through a women's group I belong to on social media. I'm never on that side of town however, when their name popped up on my Food Service App, I had to give them a try. Placed my order through Uber Eats but had to call the establishment to let them know I wanted my wings fried extra crispy since the option wasn't available on Uber Eats. I saw the wing mod option on Door Dash but decided to go through UberEats. Nonetheless, whoever answered the phone was so kind and pleasant. I was reassured my wings would be crispy. Ok. I ordered wings and whiting. Y'all, I can tell the wings were seasoned before they were fried. Not everyone does this. The fish was so good, I couldn't believe it because remember it was delivered through a 3rd party. I didn't have to warm anything up and the fish still had crunch to it. The flavor was on point for both the wings and the fish! I'm so greedy, I'm tempted to order some more for dinner. I did notice they have family meal deals. Anyway give them a try you won't be disappointed.

Please do not get the steak Philly it is really weird like fake meat, fake cheeses no toppings and fish is spicy.

Best wings in South Gwinnett. They closed their Snellville spot a few years back BUT, they are back making up for lost time. Great wings and philly's

Thought it would be cheaper. $32 for two meals with a small amount of fries and a small burger. The fries were hard. The people were very kind, other then that just would not recommend.

Blinky's is back! It looks like my review (and all of the other stellar reviews) for the previous location are gone, which is to be expected since (a) it moved, and (b) it was closed for a few years.

Blinky's is home to:

- Great wings - Some of the best around. The lemon-pepper are seasoned "just right", and are pretty much the only ones my wife will eat. We tried a number of others while Blinky's was closed, and only one came close (Mimi's smoked wings).

- A classic Philly Cheesesteak - My personal favorite. I really need to branch out and try some of the other items every now and then, but ... Oh well!

- A great selection of other grill items. It's been a few years since I tried the fish, but I recall it being good as well.

- Hard-working sole-proprietor Bobby, who is working the grill pretty much every hour they are open from what I've seen. So impressed that he remembered my name the second I walked back in the door after not seeing me for three years!

A few notes, from experience:

- Apple Maps has the street address right, but the city oh-so-wrong. There are, of course, two "Atlanta Highway's" coming out of Athens to Atlanta -- US 78 and the old US 29 (now GA 8). Someone accidentally entered the address into Apple Maps as in Statham (along the GA 8 "Atlanta Highway"), but the correct location is in Grayson, at the edge of Snellville, just a few minutes from the previous location. Always makes me wonder which "Atlanta Highway" the B52's were talking about in their song "Love Shack" ;-)

- If Bobby needs to take a day off, he'll close up, but he usually updates the Facebook page, so check ahead to be sure.

- They take call ahead orders. They have two lines, so if the phone happens to be off the hook (I've seen it happen while I've been here), check the Facebook page for the alternate number.

So glad Blinky's is reopened!! The wings and the Philly's are the best!! Service is quick and the restaurant is always clean.

I've been all over my part of GA looking for good wings and I think I found it.

Came here on a whim and ordered philly with wings, side of fries. The philly sandwich was good; but can't beat the original philly from Philly lol.

The wings are different story! It looked great, decent size. I ordered garlic parm and boy when I bit into it; it was crispy on the outside and tender and flavorful on the inside. It reminded me wings from NY; just great!

Nothing around Snellville, Lawrenceville can compare to them. The owner was super friendly and great to chat with. I've been to several joints that served wings; American Deli overcooked and dry, Buffalo Cafe wings were small, overcooked and served cold.

These wings blew me away at how crispy it is on the outside, how great it was on the inside and flavorful. A lot of places just either over fry or under cook their wings; but this place knows how to fry their chicken wings.

Owner told me the fishes are even better; so that's what I'll be doing next time when I go back.

Best Wings!
Consistent, flavorful and high value for price.
Owner is great!
We are weekly customers.

Ate dinner here this week. I liked it. Had the fried catfish with fried okra. Food was very hot & tasty. Hubby also had the fried catfish but he didn't like it all that much. He did like the corn nuggets. I thought the hush puppies were fine, but not great.
One son had cheeseburger & fries (liked). Other had chicken tenders & fries (also liked; I thought the tenders looked a little too pale but as long as they tasted ok that works!).

The 2 employees were very nice. Food does take a 8-10 minutes to prepare but that's fine by me when it comes out piping hot.

We'll return & might try the Philly or wings next time.
