I have been to Halftime several times since they opened. I am not a drinker so I cannot comment on the drinks but I love bar food and I am a big girl so I know a thing or two about good food. Let's face it, I didn't get this fat by accident. It is probably a good thing that I am not a drinker because I do have an addictive personality. If I liked to drink as much as I eat I would be a 300 pound drunk which would not be cute by any stretch of the imagination.
The main reason for this review is their wings. Not just any old wings but their Texas Gold sauced wings. OMG!!!!! They are to die for! I could try to describe the flavor but I probably won't do it justice. It is a combination of sweet, spicy and bold all in one. The color is actually a rich, dark gold and the flavor is explosive. I could probably eat shoe leather dipped in this sauce. It is delicious and hands down the best wing sauce I have ever tasted in all my life. I asked for the brand but was told it is made in-house by the chef so it looks like I am going to have to kidnap the chef if I want to find out how to make it at home because after several minutes of begging and pleading for the recipe, I could not get them to budge. I wish they had more offerings with this sauce, like BBQ ribs or chicken. You have to try this sauce when you go.
As far as the rest of the food goes, I have only tried a few things. The burgers are really good and tasty but the fries are not as crispy as I usually like. I think they are hand cut so that may be the reason. The fish is really good and they have an all you can eat special on Fridays. I can GUARANTEE you that they lose money when I go on Friday's for the all you can eat deal! The quesadilla is really good and the onion rings are great. The have 2 different happy hour times and offer several of their appetizers for half price during those times. I am not sure of the times though.
I would have given this place 5 stars but the service knocked it down to 3.5 stars. The Texas Gold sauce kicked it back up to 4 stars. The only reason I deducted a star is because the service is frequently slow and a few of the servers could use an attitude adjustment. A couple of them make me want to snatch them up by their hair every now and then and give them a good, swift kick in the butt.
I almost forgot to mention that they recently started a free Texas Hold-Em Poker game on Friday nights that is really fun. The server that takes care of the free poker game players is a sweetheart and really works her butt off to take care of everyone. I know it must be a real task but she is awesome. If all the servers were like her, this would be a 5 star review for sure. At any rate, It is a great way for me to get away, have fun and get my gambling itch scratched without having to actually spend money. As much as I want a casino to open up out here in Buckeye, I am glad that there is not one really close. If there was a casino within 15 minutes of my house, I would not have a computer to type this review. It would surely be at the pawn shop, along with the rest of my worldly posessions and I would likely be living in a box, under the nearest bridge. Worse of all, I would not have any money left to go back and have more of those delicious Texas Gold sauced wings! You have to try them.
