Meal: dinner
My thoughts:
Went there for the first time because I bought a deal from one of those deal sites.
My friend and I ordered sweet potato fries ($5) and 30 wings (2 flavours, $28). The fries were thick-cut and lightly breaded. It didn't come with any of its own dipping sauce, but they did give me mayo when I asked for it (three times, to be exact.) The wings themselves really satisfied the craving I'd been having for big, saucy, juicy wings. I had honey garlic and my friend had BBQ. We both liked our own flavours better.
While the food was great, I'm really not sure what sort of ambiance they were trying to create with the dim lighting and dated decor. There was also not a lot of seating (by my rough estimation, I'd say there were no more than 10 small tables.) On a more positive note, the restaurant's owner did make rounds to chat with all the customers, which was nice.
Live music started around 9:30pm, and by then, the place was starting to shift from a more family to elder crowd.
Not bad overall. The service (which was slow and I'm just not a fan of being called "hon" in an exaggeratedly syrupy voice) and decor could use some work, but we really enjoyed the food. I will be coming back!
