| - The trivia league I occasionally participate with relocated from Twinsburg to this joint in Streetsboro. The location is inconspicuously hidden at the end of a run-down plaza. I had heard of this place having a reputation as being the best bar in Streetsboro too (not that I planned on drinking; I had to drive 30 minutes to get back home).
StringZ & WingZ - they're really big on the letter Z in an annoying way - has a surprisingly spacious interior and a large bar. I didn't count, by my guess is that they had 15-20 beers on tap. Their food selection is pretty standard - chicken wings (the "WingZ") and French fries (the "StringZ") were ingredients in a lot of the products served here. Speaking of the "StringZ", who the hell calls their French fries "strings" (I'm done using the letter Z)? I'd expect them to use onion rings as their "strings", but that's another rant for another day.
The fries were extremely greasy the first time I went there and seasoned with some sort of garlic/salt mix. They weren't the best I've ever had, but they sufficed. The fries here on my second visit here was much better. It was like McDonald's fries, except better seasoned. I also ordered some boneless wings drenched in OMG Hot Sauce - yes, that's its name - as well as a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich where the chicken was fried and drenched in some Chipotle BBQ sauce. The boneless wings are homemade and quite large, but the blandness of the sauce and the wings set them back quite a bit. They were decent, but a little bit more work would make them amazing. The sandwich was much better, although this menu does not have very many items for those who are health-conscious.
The service here was very good. I had this server named Nichole who ran back and forth between the cash register and serving us surprisingly well, refilling our drinks and taking back our empty dishes as soon as possible. I saw two or three other servers on the floor, as well as a bartender, but perhaps they were undermanned that day. Who knows? For a wing restaurant, service here was about as good as you can get with a place that has 30-40 customers eating there on an "off night". They also have a food challenge for the gastronomically adventurous. If I somehow ended up in the Streetsboro area again and needed a nice cold one and some wings, I would definitely stop by here again.
