| - The guys and I were looking for a place to have some wings on Thursday night hangout. I found this place and am absolutely floored that Yelp let me down! This wasn't a case of the kitchen having an off night. I am honestly surprised that people enjoy any food coming from this place.
As we came here for wings, it was the first item on the menu I looked at. There are 8 different flavors to choose from, but don't expect to ask for a sample. Our waitress immediately stated that we couldn't sample any of the flavors without a $.50 per sauce surcharge. When asked how hot, I was told they use Frank's Red Hot for their base. Authentic and Original it ain't. Portion size is either single or double, which is code for 10 (bone-in) or 20 wings.
I ordered Bone-In and my friends got Bone-less and Chicken Cajun Sliders. The wings were typical frozen chicken. The Bone-less were frozen breaded fare I could get from any grocery freezer. They were dry and bland. The sauce was definitely heavy on Red Hot, making this one wing experience you can safely skip. The bone-in wings were average size, and not something I would expect at a buck a piece.
The sliders were dry. The chicken was dry. The cheese was dry. The sauce was not a help. There are only 3 sliders on a plate. And everything was plated with a HEFTY dose of French's fried onions. I am not sure why, because they certainly weren't tasty, and added nothing to the meal. Even the wings came on a bed of french fried onions.
You would think the atmosphere would have made up for the terrible food. There are a ton of TVs and Big Screens, perfect for sports fans. Plenty of comfortable tables, and 3 outdoor patios. A large bar takes up most of the West side of the building. But somehow, we were let down again. During an obviously big game night, we waited 40 minutes for a table when there were a DOZEN open tables all evening. There was enough people to fill the restaurant, but obviously mgmt wasn't able to staff the establishment properly. As a consequence, it took almost 30 minutes to get our food order in. Food did come promptly, but when you are dumping frozen food into a fryer, this should be a no-brainer.
If you are going to Desert Ridge, there are many good restaurants to choose from. Stay away from Wolfleys.
