| - Get the: coconut flavored wings!
Price: $11 per lb of wings (7-8 wings), half price on Wed and Sunday.
Overall: The wings were OK, large and juicy, but most of the flavors didn't come through.
I never would have found this place had a friend not recommended it to me on a Sunday for half price wings. While on Unionville Main Street, it's a bit hidden as it's away from the busy sections of the street and there isn't much visible signage from the street.
Anyway, walking in I was pleasantly surprised. Like the rest of Main Street, it has the old wooden decor and has a comfortable atmosphere for a resto-bar establishment. They have several TVs which were playing the football games but it was more of a restaurant atmosphere than a sports bar.
The wings menu was pretty interesting. It was different than the rest of those 1,000,000 flavors places. With approx 30 different flavors, it was still an extensive menu but the some flavors seemed pretty unique. They had tandoori flavored wings, a sweet coconut flavor, molasses with horseradish, peri-peri, and even apple cinnamon!
While the menu caught my eye, the wings themselves were just ok. I had a bunch of guys with me so we tried about 12 of the flavors they had to offer. None of them were very spicy, so if you like spicy wings don't expect to be wowed by the heat meter here. The flavor on some of the wings was also too subtle. I was really excited for the apples and cinnamon flavor, which smelled a heck of a lot like apple pie when it arrived but failed to connect with my taste buds. Another one which was advertised as molasses with horseradish also didn't have much horseradish, so it was pretty much just a sweet wing (like a honey garlic flavor). The wings themselves were large and juicy though, so thumbs up there.
The coconut flavored wings were by far my favorite, it was definitely unique and I'd go back for those. My runner up would be one from the Baked Wings list, I forgot the name but it was smokey and packed good flavor.
All in all, it's a nice atmosphere, big and juicy wings (though I wish the flavors would come out more), and average prices. I'd go back to try other things if I'm in the area.
