| - Well, when I heard that someone was selling Hot Bacon flavored wings, I started making plans to try them immediately. So that's why I was there at the Rusty Dory, with a non-drinking friend, sitting at a corner table and alternating between being mildly impressed and driven to the brink of suicide, depending on who was singing karaoke at the time.
Rusty Dory is a pretty divey place. It's not awful, but it's sort of like... I dunno, it just looks run-down... a little moreso than it needs to. A lot of the stools at the tables don't have backs, which is just mad uncomfortable. Everything seemed to be clean, though.
The service wasn't bad... it was quick and friendly enough. Not much more I was expecting out of it than that. Although when we first sat down, we had to get the bartender's attention before we got anything, but maybe that's just how they roll.
The special that night was big bottles of [name your favorite megabrewery] Light. Not really what I was looking for, but I got a Miller light bottle anyway because the price was right.
They have a little deck outside, which seems pretty cool, but we were the only two out there when we went outside, which was after our food. You can get a great view of the Ohio Valley industrial whatnot from it... if that's your kind of thing. I never rated this side of town as awfully scenic. But outside deck seating is cool regardless of the scenery.
"But how were the hot bacon wings, Dave? That's what you were there for, right?"
They were, well... They were built up to me a lot, and they probably were about as good as I expected. Not bad, and something new, but not something I'd make a special trip to get again. The bacon flavor just wasn't prominent enough. Other wing flavors were pretty good, though. All together, the wings were pretty tasty.
I didn't have a bad time here, but I don't know if I'll bother going back.
