| - I'm going to sound like a broken record with regards to Murray's review so I'll try to comment on what makes this location a 4 star Cleveland area chain. First off, look at your options. Sometimes I have no idea whats going to be open certain months, seasons, times, days, etc. etc., not to mention the restaurant turnover downtown is pretty high. I always know that WL is open and that parking ramps and street (if you are lucky) spots are available. This is ideal when meeting others because its literally in an area I can only describe as "can't miss", lots of tables / bar stools, diverse menu, and a decent kids menu.
Locations around WL that I compare to that are within the same wavelength would be Panini's, Cleats, and Harry Buffalo, maybe throw in Flannery's but maybe not for this comparison. The Lizard is always a kid favorite and I don't mind it either, cause usually I just go for the wings. I like the menu at the Buff but the servers are sub par. Cleat's usually have good wings but this location isn't my favorite and it was dimly lit / gloomy last time I was in there.
Ahhhh....the wings at Winking Lizard. I've never had a bad wing here. I typically go for the spicy garlic variety but recently tried a mustard based flavor that was surprisingly mild, with just a hint of mustard, would get another round in an instant. Maybe ask the server if you can get extra sauce, mine really could have used a little more to dip my wings in or to pour a tasty helping over the top.
So I guess this is a guys 'Wings and Beer' kind of review but it is what it is and I'll be back to WL in the near future, especially if its 20 degrees out and I'm hitting the Q for a game / concert.
