   Great food, so sad to see them closing. But we waited an hour for wings so that was not ideal.

   Wanted to try the “famous wings”. But, at $18 for 6 wings.. I had to pass. $3/wing?!🤯🤯 We ordered burgers and a chicken sandwich. Everything was just okay.

   Hello! So sorry you were not able to try the wings. Could you tell me more about the other items you tried? We don't get up in the morning with ambition to make "okay" food. I'd love to hear your feedback. Also, if you want a wing snack we have an awesome special called the Hat Trick which is 3 wings, a PBR, and a shot of Jack for $12. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you, Matt Miller, Operations Manager

   I haven't been here in about 15 years and I can't imagine I would go again. When we sat down the table next to us said, "Good luck" and we should have listened. Went for a friend's birthday since he's a sports fan. The service was terrible. It took us 2.5 hours for four people to eat. Drinks took 30+ minutes (no joke) and we were told that "our best server is bartending but she's never done it so it's taking a while". The food was subpar for how much it cost and we were literally waiving at the server to get her attention to which she just looked at us and walked away, obviously overwhelmed since she seemed to be the only server on the floor. Luckily she only spilled drinks on the table next to us so I guess we lucked out there. Our biggest issue was that they charged almost $8 to process our credit card. Since when do your customers share the cost of you doing business? I used to work in the hospitality industry and I can't imagine the AUDACITY we'd have to have to even suggest our customers pay for our credit card processing. What's next, a charge for the portion of the rent? Should we help cover a portion of your business insurance too? I asked them to take it off and the server told me, "Well it's a credit card charge and you're paying with a credit card, so we can't". I understand why you're trying to charge me, but wouldn't you rather have customers rather than guarantee that they will never return? Go here if you have absolutely no other choice. Supporting a business that would rather nickel and dime their customers (on top of insanely overpriced food) in this economy is insane.

   The service is outstanding but I do feel as if you don’t look like the majority crowd they will ask you to sit in the basement or upper level . The wings are cooked good but the buffalo flavor to me is trash simply because it tastes like vinegar. No buffalo flavor just looks like it. The wings are definitely overpriced. I paid $27 for 10 wings. Although they are nice size wings they are not good. I think their wings are worth about 12.50 for 10 wings. Now the margaritas was definitely on point. 22oz margaritas for $12 now that’s worth it. If I come back it will just be for drinks. I had cheese fries with supposed to be cheddar cheese sauce but it was lumpy and gritty. Yes for drinks and no for food.

   Wings (boneless and bone-in) don’t have much flavor. We ordered the award-winning sauce, but it’s almost like it’s missing an ingredient. Nachos were okay until the the lower layer, which was soggy. Staff is friendly and professional
