| - I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and after a Monday night game of "what do you want to eat?", finally did.
We called in ahead of time for the Monday special I've heard so much about. For $25 including tax, you get a full rack of ribs, fries and a pound of chicken wings (roughly 9 wings). The girl on the phone was very friendly, and informative and was kind enough to let me know they have 30 flavours for their wings.
We were told the order would be ready for pickup in about 10-15 minutes, however we came a bit later so I cannot fully confirm the speed. The restaurant itself is inviting and the decor is rather nice, however this place is small. Large groups will probably have a hard time getting a table.
The fries were more chewy than crispy, kind of like curly fries. However fries are fries, and I love curly fries as much as super crispy ones.
For the wings, we chose mild honey garlic (not my choice). The flavour was decent, and the wings were good, yet nothing overly outstanding about them. Perhaps if we chose another flavour with some spice I would have been a little more satisfied.
The ribs are a bit of a wild card for me. The ribs are big, the flavour is excellent and they smell and taste SO SMOKEY. However I would have liked a bit more sauce on my ribs. Some of them were a little dry, but the ones with sauce were very tasty. Also important to note, these ribs were not fall of the bone and juicy like you would expect. That was a bit of a let down, but the flavour was definitely on point.
Overall I'd give this place the higher end of 3.5 stars. The flavour was good, and for the price and portion you're getting, you really can't complain. If those ribs had more sauce I probably would have bumped up my rating to a full 4 stars.
