Going in I didn't quite know what to expect. There's a familiarity here yet it feels so foreign at the same time. Familiar is the crowd, name, logo and focus on luscious wings that of it's sister location, different is the space, menu and service.
It was an ordinary Wednesday night, a night of wings and ribs special, some beef stew and the mythical chicken curry. Mythical because even though it is listed on the website, they stubbornly deny it as a special for the day. Their reasoning was that the website had not been updated for over 2 years; very well, I digress.
Everything seemed to go downhill from there. Ribs were nicely poached I guess but didn't quite fall off the bone. I can't exactly say these qualify as barbecue. The sauce was however not quite as deceptive. It did not look great and it didn't taste like it either. All in all, a miserable half rack of ribs. I do commend them for cooking the wings well. They were very juicy and tender however again the sauce tasted the way it looks and it didn't look great. Honey wasn't honey enough, garlic wasn't garlicky enough and spicy..well you get the drift.
She did however let us pack our unfinished ribs to go. She had to fight tooth and nail with the owner apparently as there is a policy against brown bagging leftover specials. I question this rule and it's validity for the current times; I guess this place has rules to match it's decor from the 70s.
Don't waste your life here.
