| - Turtle Jacks was the first stop on our Epic International Chicken Wing Crawl of Awesomeness, and a convenient bus ride away from home for me.
The wings themselves were pretty good - plenty of options for flavouring, as well as preparation (convection or BBQ), breading, size, etc. We went with the New York style, both convection and BBQ. Very tasty, though the convection weren't as intense a flavour. I liked BBQ better, I think. Vegetables were woefully insufficient on the first round, but they picked up on the second.
Environment-wise, it kind of reminds me of a Montana's but taken down a couple notches - not over the top, and no kraft paper on the tables. There's flair all over the place, but it feels kind of contrived, and offset by the high ceiling to a metal roof, which hammers home the point that you're in a suburban strip mall and not an actual lodge in Muskoka. Still, a decent effort.
Washrooms are cramped but clean - had anyone tried to get into the stall behind me there would have been shoving issues, and that just isn't cool.
Staff was friendly and took care of the mixed up order without difficulty, but the replacement did take a while. Also, prices aren't exactly cheap, but this IS Oakville, after all.
I'd rate them at #3 of 5 on the Chicken Wing crawl, and will probably return - they are basically in my back yard, after all.
