| - This franchise recently opened its door to the Willowdale community. I've heard and read mixed reviews about this place, but I decided to give it shot anyway (I normally don't go to new places with mixed reviews). There were a lot of stuff on the menu, probably close to 100 wing sauces that can satisfy every palate. The boyfriend and I went for the sample platter (20 pieces + veggie sticks = $24.99) because we're very indecisive (or greedy? ha!) couple. We went for the safe Hot Honey (my favorite kind at St. Louis), and tried 3 new flavors: Desperado (Buffalo Medium & Maple), Farmer's Daughter (BBQ, Medium, Wild Jerk), and Gar Par (Caesar & Parmesan).
1. Hot Honey - more like Buffalo and Honey, which is not a big stretch from the Desperado. Was quite disappointed but edible nonetheless.
2. Desperado - couldn't taste the Maple. Pure Buffalo imo.
3. Farmer's Daugther - I think this is a confusing mix. Buffalo and Wild Jerk are strong flavors, so they don't mix well together (no dominant flavor). The boyfriend hated the smell of this one, so I ended up finishing this batch :p
4. Gar Par - it's like eating regular wings with caesar salad dressing. If that's your cup of tea, then go for it. I found it odd and too creamy for my taste buds.
Unlike St. Louis, the wing order doesn't come with fries. We had to order a side of fries. We ordered the Naked Fries ($4.99) and they came out like McCain's fries. DISAPPOINTING.
And don't worry about the heat level. The 4-flame one didn't hurt my tongue at all.
Our tab came out to be $36 (incl. tip and we didn't order drinks). I say it's quite pricey. On top of that, I got a serious case of stomachache right after lunch. My advice is don't go for the sample platter. The combination of 4 sauces would just upset your stomach. Thank God this location is located right across from a Shoppers Drug Mart, so I was able to grab a bottle of TUMS.
St. Louis FTW!!! :D
