| - The first time I went to Crown & Dragon was with a friend and we didn't feel like driving up to Bayview and Eglinton to go to Duff's, but we wanted wings. He had heard about this place and it was apparently really good. The rest is pretty much history.
There were about 30 flavours for wings on the menu which is pretty decent; less overwhelming than the 100 flavours you find some places, but better than just ordering based on temperature (mild, medium, hot, etc). On that first visit we decided to go with a few of the award winning flavours. That was many months ago but I am pretty sure we went with Dragon's Breath, Honeycomb Heaven, and Key West BBQ. When the food came we were impressed with not just the sauces, but the wings themselves were tasty and not greasy like you find at a lot of places these days.
As a side we went with the garlic bread with cheese and the yam fries. The garlic bread was like anywhere else, but the yam fries were actually really good. Instead of the thin cut sweet potato fries that are served everywhere now, they slice a fresh yam into long thick fries and batter them slightly. I have had them both ways, so I can recommend to everyone to get them well done or else they can be a little too soft for my liking; almost like a baked yam when done normal.
Then we were onto the dessert which was interesting to say the least. I had never heard of a banana chocolate spring roll before, but we decided to give it a shot. When it arrived, it was exactly that, thin spring roll pasty around banana and chocolate with a caramel sauce on the side and ice cream on top. I am a very picky person when it comes to food and while it looked fine, I was worried about how it would taste. The ice cream was starting to melt as I stared it down and eventually decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised when I took the first bite and before I knew it I had eaten the whole thing. Now I can't go back there without getting this dessert.
I have been back a few times since, introducing different friends and crowds to the goodness that is Crown & Dragon. While the service can be a little slow at times, the food makes up for it completely. Ever since they started free comedy show on Saturday nights from 9:30 until 11:00ish it has added even more of a reason to go. Great tasting wings and a place to laugh and pre-drink that ends early enough to go to a club or where ever the Saturday night adventure takes the group of friends I am with at the time. This is a pub with so much more!
