| - This location recently went through a complete renovation and finally re opened today! So I came in to check out what they have done with the place and get some grub while I was at it! The reno included a new audio/visual system featuring two 120" TVs and an updated, modern look inside and out. Basically they gave the place a well deserved face lift and it does look much hipper now.
Our party of five was seated on the lounge/ bar side at a high table towards the back where had great views of all the Tv's and large projection screen tv's. The music was really blasting but it was enjoyable, I suppose they were showing off there new system.
Our waitress was super friendly and really attentive the whole night through! We started off with drinks and in no time she returned with our round of beers and waters. We then ordered an appetizer and she gave us plenty of time to peruse the menus.
Appetizers
Southwest Potato Skins - Potato skins topped with BBQ sauce, chipotle chicken, smoky bacon, melted cheddar and pizza mozzarella, then drizzled with our signature creamy garlic dressing
Good portion size, came with 8 skins were really delicious! Loved smoky bacon, real chunks of chicken and the contrast with the creamy garlic sauce drizzled over top really made the dish!
Cactus Cut Potatoes - Spicy and thinly sliced fried potatoes served w/ cactus dip - a rich blend of crushed chilies, green onion, sour cream and Parmesan
Again another large portion of crispy golden freshly made chips, they looked innocent but definitely packed a good little kick to the them! Luckily the creamy dip helped to cool things down. We devoured this platter in no time!
Finally for mains we all went the wing route. As per our waitress suggestion we went with the Fried Wings (3 different styles to choose from: Breaded, Baked, or Fried and they offer a good selection of flavours too).
Double Order of Salt and Pepper Fried Wings - The classic. Fried until golden and crispy dusted with cracked black pepper and sea salt.
The wings were super crispy cooked well with a nice dusting of spices however the wings themselves were quite small. A double order could of easily filled a single person.
We all still had room for desserts so we all in agreement when our waitress flipped open the menu to reveal what sweets they offered.
Sticky Toffee Pudding - A warm and sweet treat featuring traditional toffee pudding served with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and smothered with rich caramel sauce
I am not a fan of toffee nor caramel so I did not enjoy this one, I found it too sweet but the texture of the cake was really nice, warm and moist However mostly everyone else at the table seemed to like this dessert better.
Chocolate Explosion - Ultimate decadence. Creamy chocolate mousse with chunks of cheesecake, caramel, toffee, pecans and almonds on a chocolate crust
As a chocoholic this dessert better suited me. I really enjoyed the chocolate mousse in this cake with the little chunks of cheesecake and the drizzles of chocolate fudge only added to my enjoyment.
Overall service here was really good! Especially since it was there re-opening day and it was chaotic inside our waitress was amazing! Bringing refills of water before we even had to alert her and clearing plates like a pro she was kind and funny too. Overall I'd stick to there amazing apps and pizza but steer clear of there wings.
