| - We heard about this establishment from a friend and decided to head out to Mississauga to try out the wings. With a name like AllStar Wings & Ribs, our expectations were rather high.
Forget about the lack of parking, as a few times around the block we managed to find a spot just down the street.
We went in and the first thing we noticed was the place was mostly empty and this was at 6 pm on Saturday.
The second thing we noticed was that it appeared to be a sports bar, but had club/dance music playing. Not bad music, just not what we expected in a sports bar.
It took a couple of minutes waiting at the front before someone came and took us to our table. We requested a booth instead and were reluctantly put in a booth beside the servers area near the kitchen.
We got our menus and immediately, the server wanted our drink order, but we had not even had a chance to see what was on the drink menu. We felt rushed as the server was waiting at our table until we decided. We ordered our drinks and the server wanted us to order our meal at this time. As I mentioned, we just sat down and had just started looking at the menu. We politely declined to order immediately as we like to have our first drink before our meal.
The server returned a few times while we were still enjoying our drinks and finally to make her go away we decided to order.
The menu has lots of wing sauce options, but the menu only had cryptic names with no description of what the sauce flavour actually was. We questioned our server about a few flavours and finally decided on 1.
It didn't take long for our meals to show up and the first thing I noticed was that my wings looked burned, with a few splashes of sauce on them. The wings looked like wings that I buy from Loblaw, frozen in a box that are heated in an oven. Since the wings were burned, I can only assume that these were heated/reheated in an oven to the point of burning them. The menu says deep fried, but perhaps they were deep fried at the beginning of the week and then reheated in an oven when needed.
I would not recommend AllStar Wings & Ribs for their wings. If I wanted reheated wings, I can do that at home for a fraction of the price we paid.
As I mentioned the first thing we noticed was the place was mostly empty and this was at 6 pm on Saturday. Perhaps I am not the only one who was unimpressed with the food!
All in all a very bad experience for a Wings Sports Bar.
