| - We have been to this location a handful of times now, so it's time for a review. The service is rather hit and miss, depending on the day and your server. The food is usually good, but I've yet to have anything that made a really strong impression on me as being exceptional.
This restaurant has wings in its name, so you would expect that to be a specialty. Well, they do have a good variety of wing flavors and again, they are generally pretty good, but I've had better elsewhere. And the price of the wings are not cheap, unless you are there during happy hour or on Tuesdays, when they have a promotional price on them. Otherwise, personally I think paying over a dollar per wing is a little high for the product.
So, back to the service topic. I mentioned it was hit and miss. Well on this visit it was a huge miss. My wife and I decided to sit on the patio since the weather was so nice. We reported inside first to let the staff know we would be sitting on the patio and the waitress said she would send someone out for us. So, on the way back out to the patio, I observed a waiter carrying a very large tray full of food and since he was right behind me and headed to the patio, I held the door for him to assist him. He thanked me and followed me out to the patio. My wife and I ended up sitting just 2 tables past the large party that he was serving, so we assumed he would come greet us after he got the food delivered to the other table.
Nope, no such luck. In fact we sat there for 10 minutes and saw him come back out 2 more times to bring drink refills and also turn on the ceiling fans out there. When it became obvious that we were waiting for service that wasn't going to happen, I went back inside and approached the waiter to confirm that he was in fact responsible for the patio, which he did confirm. I then shared my displeasure with him very firmly and reminded him that I had even held the door for him to assist and that ignoring my wife and me was rude and unacceptable. He apologized and said he would be right out. After about a minute he did come out, apologized to both of us and was obviously sincere with his sentiment. From that point forward, his service was fine, and be did discount the check as a measure of compensation.
So all in all, the end result was ok. It's just not the way that anyone wants their dinner visit to start, and it's frustrating to have to chase someone down to avoid being completely ignored.
In summary, from my perspective, this establishment is a good place to watch sports, with their many TV's and sports programs. It's also a good place for some decent happy hour specials. The food is acceptable, especially if you're just wanting some "bar food" to put in your tummy while having a beer or beverage. As long as you are not in any hurry, just want to hunker down for a while, and have no expectations of prompt service or above average food, then you will be more than happy here. If your expectations are for exceptional food and/or service, then you might want to reconsider selecting this venue for your dining experience.
