-GOLDEN WINGS (medium). still best in town. hh price remains at $6, but the nightly specials for wings has been relegated to only sun and mon nights at $6.50. i gather soon the specials will cost more than the regular price. but damn that golden medium sauce!
their new beer menu is now broken down to domestic, import and craft. which is highly unnecessary with little options they have. just a reason to tack on a import or craft tax. like a corona costs more than a ranger ipa or some shit like that just cause of the category it falls into. get real.
not much new on the food-front that i can tell. burrito deal on tuesday is decent.
and the website got a makeover.
4 starts is accurate.

3 years later im updating this review.
-GOLDEN WINGS (medium). still best in town. prices have gone up a bit to $6, available happy hour and mon, thurs, sat, sun after 8pm. the new chicken skewers are a change of pace for the same deal.
-specialty burgers. still rock. sweet japaleno may have taken over the top spot.
-fries. they have grown on me since then. still not award winning by any means but i like them a lot. i usually get the half and half cause the onion rings are also done very well, usually.
-focaccias. monaco is still tops. but you can just order a side of sweet jalapeno dressing with others and it turns out near similar.
-most of the other food turns out to be pretty good. but i stick to the staples above. ranch chop salad is very good, but also far from a 'healthy' salad.
-beer. big mugs went up a quarter during hh. still, the best deal around might be the $8 premium pitches sat and sun, open til 4p.
id put this up a half star if it would let me.

ive been frequenting this place for nearly 3 years now, its our go-to destination for happy hour or anytime really.. so here is my rundown..
-GOLDEN WINGS (medium). best in town. (happy hour, mon & thur after 8pm = $5). the extreme difference between medium and hot is not worth it. good but way too hot..
-specialty burgers. most are fantastic. ask for any sauce "on the side"! youll get more. (black n bleu is my fave).
-fries. fresh cut. not a fan, but will still enjoy them if the option is there.
-lately, the monaco foccacia or however you spell it. the jalapeno dip is awesome.
-all other food is mediocre at best. salad's salad.
-beer = 3.50 for big mug (domestic) is a good deal at happy hour.
THIS (and the wings) IS WHAT MAKES US COME BACK.
-tv's can be changed to what you want if youre there on an off-night.
-service is typically good.
-managers can be douchebags (is that new?).
-parking does kinda suck on crowded nights, but dont be so damn lazy.
i do agree with some of what 'Jason C.' says, but will rate this place higher. hes bitchin bout little things. if youre there at the right time (happy hour or after 8pm) and stick to the right food(s), you should have a good time!
[this applies to the Via de Ventura ZIPPS also]
GOLDEN medium WINGS!!!!!!
