| - I want to like this restaurant. I've eaten in them from here to Florida and I really want to say it's my favorite wing place. But I've got to be honest here.
I have never - NEVER - picked up my order and gotten everything we've asked for in the take out bag. Not once. Not here, not at any other one either. I don't get it. Our order is fairly simple.
wings - glazed in teriyaki or asian zing, depending
wings - plain, sometimes with a sauce on the side
onion ring basket
celery
blue cheese
5 things. 5. Maybe 6 if there's a cup of sauce added.
Not one time in all these years has it been right. When I go in, I take every single little thing out of the bag and lay it on the counter to double check, then wait while they probably spit in whatever I'm standing there waiting for. I hope not, but they're kids running the place in each spot, so who knows what they're doing? (Ever seen the moving "Waiting"? Yeah, I worked in restaurants. It's just like that. Don't piss off your servers!) My husband gets so flustered with going in that he just pays and leaves, never checking. So when he gets home, I'm pulling stuff out of the fridge to make up for whatever didn't make it down the road (but what we got charged for anyway).
On the whole, the wings are decent. I like them crunchy and a bit overdone. I hate slimy wings, so no complaints there. Never tried the boneless ones, but our adult son seems to enjoy them because that's what he gets.
The celery, when we get it, has always been fresh and well cleaned.
My only complaint with the food is the sides, and that could be because we drive it home. The onion rings are extremely greasy and within minutes of leaving the restaurant, are limp and falling apart in most cases. I've had the wedges with cheese and by the time we got home, the wedges were cold and the cheese was cement-like. I wish they'd use the canned semi-liquid cheese. That would work out so much better than the cheap stuff they throw on there then bake in to a hard crust.
So like I said, I want to like this place...especially since sometimes I just don't feel like butchering my own wings. But for now...eh. It'll do in a pinch.
