| - Following the lead of my fellow Yelpers, I was recently brought in here for dinner and drinks with a crowd of Yelpers for Yelp Eats (charity program where depositing your $30+ receipt into a marked bag leads to a $10 donation being made by the restaurant).
Our group of 5 was excited that this would be the kick off location for the program and it was nice that WEGZ wasn't overly busy on this Tuesday night as it gave us a chance to Bro-out whilst watching nail biting election coverage and another loss by the Toronto Raptors.
WEGZ is magificent for those who have never been. Before there was Real Sports in Toronto WEGZ was the epitome for sports bar big screens, big bar and well....big everything. It's literally what every guy wants as his personal man cave: Foosball, virtual golf/soccer, pool, big screens, sirens that go off when teams score during a game! Literally the works!
Once we were seated we knew that from a combination of previous experiences and yelp reviews there would be no hesitation on what we were going to be ordering to start. The Beer Cornucopia itself aptly named - THE BREWTENDER. 80oz of beer contained in a transparent contraption armed with a center ice column for keeping beer cold without watering it down, a spout for easy pouring and enough beer sex appeal to get my motor running. What an amazing invention...Sorry Boston Pizza but no longer will I suffer through one of your rapidly warming team pitchers. WEGZ's Brewtender is the shizznick!!
It would be great if the brewtender came armed with an expansive selection of beers, but unfortunately past the basic (Molson and Labatt) selection the only standouts on tap were Amsterdam Blonde and Rolling Rock.
On to the meal, our server was very patient as we tapped into our first...and then second 80oz of beer - yep we downed 160oz! But when it came time to order PO-Boy nachos were the appy order of the day to share. I made a comment to my companions that this was a really well made CHO, layered nicely and never a dry chip without either sauce or cheese on it. Stadium sized this proved to be a monster of an undertaking - thankfully there were 5 big strong men on site to work on this ;) Mission accomplished.
For my main course I order the chicken club which was a welcome surprise from the normal version. A whole chicken breast and hickory smoked bacon made this a meal and not just some 1/2 assed deli mess. The bun, while it appeared thick and able to hold it together...failed to do so and I ended up eating the second half of the sandwich with a fork and knife. Not a fan. But over all the taste and make up of the sandwich over came the bread issues.
One note that I hope will be improved is the side caesar salad. It was bland and had almost no dressing on it. In fact there was even water at the bottom of my salad bowl. Hoping this was a one off as I had ordered their chef salad on a previous visit and that was lovely and perfectly well made.
