HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DESTINY! My oldest turned 15 this year and where did she want to go to eat? Winking Lizard, that is where. Not just because they have a Lizard who winks....but because they just plain rock! Free popcorn, a huge Lizard and fantastic service are just a few of the things this place boasts.
My kids and I come regularly to WL for their wing special night. That's right yo...I love me some chicky wings on the cheap! Not to mention, my youngest can get pizza on those nights too.....everyone is happy! WIN WIN! We had never been to this location despite living not too far. Parking is plentiful (front an rear lots) and their patio looks to be beautiful! I cannot comment on how nice it is only because it is winter....and anyone who knows Ohio, can completely sympathize!
We ordered 30 of their traditional wings, lots of ranch and some celery. Here are a breakdowns of wing flavors:
1) Chipotle Chili: This sauce is by far my favorite. I wouldn't rate it high on the spice....and I love spice. I am a spicey guy myself! But, the flavor profile is fantastic. Garlic, onion, chipotle pepper and a little heat. Really, it is fantastic!
2) Teriyaki: Just your run of the mill sauce. Nothing special but very good. A little more on the sweet side than salty.
3) BBQ: We got the plain BBQ this time and I was VERY happy with it. Smoky, sweet and tangy. Really a good blend.
My youngest got a cheese pizza and as always, says it is some of the best. She loves the sauce and the crust. It is a winner for her.
One of the things I love about this location are the skee ball tables! I wish ALL their locations had these babies. Sweet mother of monkey milk man, this brought me back to the good ole days. I loved seeing my kiddos and parents playing a game I grew up with. iPad, eat out dust! Some things cannot be replicated on a screen.
The bathrooms were super clean and so was the rest of the restaurant. We will be back to this location post haste! For my birthday actually! Look for my check in ;)
