We went on a Wednesday which happened to be my birthday. They don't do anything special for birthdays. I ordered a steak rare it came back medium. Well obviously it's not a steak joint it's a chicken place. We had a wonderful server she was very nice checked on us often. Has a cool little arcade-like thing going on in the back bring your quarters

Stopped in for a late lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the Tuesday 89-cent wings special. Meaty, flavorful and fresh from the fryer and the service and atmosphere was top flight. Highly recommended!

Nice clean place with friendly staff. The food was really good. I had the wings and they were great. The wings were a lot bigger than other places we what been. We also tried the onion straws which were delicious and not greasy. Next time we go I am going to try the ribs. There is also a game room that the kids enjoyed. There is also a nice bar.

Great to have this regional restaurant open once again with all the COVID issues going on. The chicken wings are just as delicious as I remember them! Staff is super-friendly, as always, and just happy to have customers back! Of course, things are different now, but everyone is taking it in stride. The atmosphere is still fun and upbeat. Great to be back!

My husband got a 20 piece boneless wing and I got the char grilled chicken sandwich. We were both impressed with how perfect the food was. His wings were meaty vs fatty and my sandwich was grilled perfectly with a toasted bun and my chosen toppings. This sandwich doesn't come with a side but is amazing on its own. It's a must for anyone looking for a better option when going for bar food. The waitress was nice and since we went during lunch hours, it was bare and more quiet than it's nightlife.
