| - Happy Hour-palooza! Not your typical, sub-par, TGI-Gross type appetizers, either! Come hungry (but not hangry) and leave happy!
My family and I visited Blue 32 over the holidays, it's a great place to meet up with family and friends that are otherwise hard to see. Although we all arrived at separate times, the staff was gracious enough to let some of us reserve a booth while waiting for others to arrive (this may not be the case if they're super busy). Thankfully? all of us didn't arrive until after Happy Hour had started at 3PM.
Happy Hour times are from 3-7PM Monday through Friday.

*they also had a happy hour discount on well cocktails, though I don't remember what they cost.
We ordered several appetizers to share: the nachos, an order of wings, and onion rings. Those who arrived early had already devoured a non-happy hour order of boneless wings. Everything that we ordered was absolutely phenomenal.
The nachos are top-notch (get it, nachos? top notch? snort). The toppings sing high above other chain restaurants. They use queso blanco. I die. Plenty of jalapenos, meat and cheese to cover each chip. And they're piled high!
The onion rings were a big favorite. They batter actually sticks to the onion, so you don't get that slimy string of onion pulling out from the crispy exterior. The batter is also peppery, like in a really delicious way, but if you're sensitive to black pepper, better to avoid this. We asked for a side of ranch and honestly, the 'rings didn't last long.
The wings were also good, though "less good" than the other two dishes. We opted for "medium" heat and they were more than manageable for the sensitive among our group. The skin was a bit floppy, not crisp like I prefer, and could have used a few more minutes in the fryer, IMO.
My well cocktail was a heavy pour, and for that, I was grateful. Who doesn't need a strong drink when around family for the holidays?
Their regular menu is expansive (almost ridiculously so), but for those looking for the most bang for your buck, definitely go for Blue 32's happy hour. Easily the best I've been to in recent memory! Looking forward (??) to another family holiday "meeting" here, where I can perchance bribe family members into ordering the hand-breaded calamari...
