| - The first time I noticed Hef's was YEARS ago. There was a sign outside advertising their happy hour oyster, wings and shrimp. I meant to go back to try the crazy cheap specials, but slowly forgot all about Hef's through the years.
Recently, I had an oyster craving and Hef's came to mind. I was able to stop by and luckily, they STILL have the same specials! The prices went up a little bit, but are still reasonable. Oysters (cooked/raw), wings (mild/hot/barbalo) and shrimp (grilled/raw) are all $.60 each. For $.60, the oysters are pretty fresh and decent in size. Although the size does vary by season, the overall quality is pretty good. If you're not much of an oyster fan, the Barbalo wings are to die for! What is Barbalo, you ask? It is a mix of buffalo and BBQ wings of course (which sounded amazing, which it amazingly was!) The wings are drenched in this dark redish/brown sauce (Barbalo sauce I presume) and still retains its crunchy texture. All wings are made fresh to order! I'm not much of a shrimp fan, but maybe you can try and let me know if I'm missing out.
The perfect complement to my meal was a quaint space with a lit fountain for outside seating. Charlotte is slowly warming up and it was a beautiful day to enjoy the fresh air (even the pollen was low that day!)
