| - Not too terrible a place, though I think that maybe Adam Richman might have overreacted just a bit when he gushed about its merits on television. It's good... but not "zomg I have to stop here" good.
Decor was the best thing about the place - lots of old classic cycles and cars. It's obvious they put a lot of work into it.
Quiet the night we went (Friday night at 9pm), which we thought a bit unusual.
I had grilled boneless wings with a side of broccoli. I know, weird combination, but I was trying to stick to my menu plans and I think I did an okay job with that. I'm admittedly a wimp, so I didn't get the "atomic flame" stuff - seriously, eating shouldn't be painful - but I did choose a semi-spicy sauce, Arizona Ranch, which I thought would be okay enough for me to handle, and it was. I think I could have actually went up a bit on the spice level, for all that. Magna fries were... fries, not much you can really do to mess up fries, you know? Good but unremarkable.
The wings were good, for sure, and the broccoli was nice and crispy, didn't disappoint there. I just don't think that it's as great as it's been claimed to be. Portion sizes were definitely a disappointment - I was seeing people twirl huge amounts of wings in buckets and that's what I'd expected to get, not a small plate with maybe six or seven wings, tops. Still, it was worth the money we'd paid (maybe 30 bucks in all) and the service was decent, so we'd definitely come back.
Our expectations will be a lot lower, however.
3.5, rounded up because service was good.
