| - I went to St. Louis for the all-you-can-eat wings promotion celebrating their 50th anniversary.
Unfortuntately, they weren't taking reservations during the promotion due to all the buzz it was creating. According to the resto, it is impossible to gauge how long people would be sitting and I could understand that.
We got to St. Louis early at 6:30 and they were able to accommodate us pretty easily
For the promotion, you start with a pound to a pound and a half for your first order and subsequent orders come with 4 wings. As your side, you can pick from fries or veggie sticks / vegetables but once you choose one though, you cannot change it for subsequent wing orders. However, you are also allowed to order wings without the sides as well.
For the first few rounds, I ate the tried and tested flavours: hot and honey, honey garlic, and Buffalo ranch... But I also ventured out to try some more unique flavours such as boneless garlic parm, Mississippi Honey, and Caribbean Jerk. The boneless, garlic parm wings were a welcomed surprise especially if you like them saucy- they were rich, crispy and creamy.
The Caribben Jerk wings were too dry and intense in flavouring in my opinion. The Mississippi Honey flavouring was a saucy combination of honey and barbecue sauce. The barbecue sauce tasted like one of those primitive Kraft sauces you get at the supermarket... so it wasn't great.
The Sweet Asian wings were a good flavour profile change as the other wings were more savoury.
I was starting to hit the wall at round 7 partially because the wait time between orders was increasing. I wasn't sure if this was intentional or because they were busy...
But, I was tired of getting only 4 wings per order so I kindly asked for my last 3 rounds all at once and our server obliged. I was a bit surprised she would let me do it but, to be honest, she was very accommodating to all our requests the entire night despite all the AYCE chaos around us. She was pleasant to deal with and she was prompt with reorders and water requests. On top of that, she didn't rush us even though we were affecting her turnaround time... I mean we were there for a total of 4 hours! She deserved a round of applause!
Although, I've had some negative experiences in terms of service here in the past. Often, servers can give attitude and are hard to flag down. Even during my AYCE evening, we tried to order more wings with the server's assistant and we got, "Well, I'm not your server, you have to order with her." I also observed servers arguing with each other in the restaurant.
