| - I was all set to attend the recent yelp event held at Tallboys, but unfortunately my portuguese friend flopped on me last minute cuz he was sick. He went into detail about his bowels and then recommended that I go to Tallboys for the nachos.
He went on and on about how much cheese and toppings were on the nachos and how fresh the tortilla chips were. When I tried the nachos, they sucked. Barely any cheese, barely any toppings. MEH at best. Oh, but the tortilla chips were fresh (still meh). The nachos completely fail in comparison to Opera Bob's.
I decided to order the Canadian burger with beer battered onion rings. The burger was okay, the pulled pork on the burger has no flavor--you've been warned. The onion rings however were spectacular.
On the wings of the delicious onion rings, I decided to go back with my boyfriend and tried to order the same thing. The rude-ish waitress informed us that they didn't sell onion rings anymore, but one onion ring still came as a topping on the burger. So I disappointedly changed my order to wings because my Portuguese friend told me that their wings were "really good."
You know when you see the cast of survivor start to cook and eat random wild anemic animals, and you wonder how it tastes without seasoning or sauce? THATS what Tallboys' wings taste like. I was very aware that I was eating a dead bird when I ate those wings. NO flavour. Even though I ordered the Sweet Chili Wings, there was so little sauce and seasoning that all i could taste was the rawness of the flesh. I could taste that there was a struggle before the chicken died; the chicken fought to stay alive but got choked out. And it WAS in vain cuz the wings were NOT "really good" at all.
When my boyfriend saw the beer selection, we were put off by how expensive the tallboys were. $8.50 for a 473ml can of beer? ..like, get outta my wallet Tallboys! Get out of my life.
Ur done.
2 stars. Big fat MEH. But if ur a hipster you'll LOVE it tho.
