| - Got the hook up for this place from our man in Waunakee, Matt W. (Thanks, Matt!). REVIEW UPSHOT-- I tend to agree with those who believe this may be the best chicken wings in the area.
It is a little out-of-the-way from Downtown and not in Sun Prairie proper. (From Highway 30 off of East Washington it is an easy approximate 15 minute drive).
It is out in the country on County Highway N and would be easy to blow by if you were not paying attention. It looks like a sketchy little dive bar off the side of the road with a big parking lot. Actually, it looks like a large ranch style house made into a sketchy little dive bar off the side of the road with a big parking lot. Once inside, it is a sketchy dark little dive bar off the side of the road with a big parking lot.
They do not have a large interior space. They have a number of hightop and a couple low top tables and seating at the bar for diners. Maybe 7-10 tables total.
The menu is on the board and on the napkin holders on the tables. The menu is limited, consisting of a few sandwiches, appetizers and their wings. They have four different kinds of wings and basic sandwiches (a cheeseburger, fish fillet, pork chop, tenderloin, etc). Prices are modest.
Our visit included me, wifey (also known as "she-who-must-be-obeyed), our 20-year-old and 15-year-old. Between us, our 15-year-old is the wing and cheeseburger connoisseur. We ordered a basket of their original and dry rub wings, cheese curds, a fish sandwich, cheeseburger, and pork filet sandwich. (Sandwiches are a la carte). Drinks were waters and two Pepsis. Fries were excellent. The cheese curds were also very good and well sized. Fish sandwich was surprisingly good. Nice big piece of cod perfectly fried and not greasy in a grilled bakery bun. Ample tartar sauce was provided on the side. 15 year old loved his cheeseburger although wished tomato and lettuce was available.
The wings were also very good. They were all well sized, meaty, flavored very well and cooked to perfection. I don't like soggy and slippery wings that don't seem fully cooked. These had a definite crunch to them but not burnt. The originals were very spicy but not overly so. The blue cheese dressing seems housemade. I would have liked a little more blue cheese punch in it. I think these are the best wings I've had in Madison based on meatiness and cooking texhnique. Son disagrees, favoring those at Wing Stop on Regent Street. He likes having more flavor options.
We visited on Saturday at 1:30 PM and there were a number of other families, including first-timers like us. I don't know how the night crowd would be and if family friendly. But today in the afternoon, it definitely was.
Service is fine, too. You order at the bar and pay then (or when you're done). They are prompt to cook your food and bring it and clear plates away for you. Well done for a place like this. Our complements.
I think five stars appropriate if they had some condiments and other additions they can add to their sandwiches, i.e. basic lettuce, tomato, mushrooms, onions, etc. Also, a little more blue cheese oomph in their blue cheese dressing and a couple more wing flavor options or some extra/different sauces on the table.
Please note though, CASH only. No credit cards or checks accepted. There is an ATM on site.
This place is worth a visit - and to bring your family to--at least in the daylight hours. Perhaps for dinner, too. Probs. We'll be back for sure.
See you there.
