I had heard good things about the garlic wings, and since it's a 2 minute drive from my house, I thought I'd give it a shot.
It's very unassuming from the outside. In fact, I lived in the neighborhood a while before I even noticed this place. Probably still would not have if it wasn't for driving past on a Sunday and seeing a bunch of people in Bills' jerseys outside. I actually never went in the place. I ordered the wings over the phone and the girlfriend picked them up. From what she told me, it's a decent enough place on the inside.
I was surprised how long it took to make up 2 dozen wings. I was expecting 10, maybe 15 minutes. It took almost a half hour, which isn't completely unreasonable, but much longer than I expected.
The wings themselves are pretty good. We got them extra crispy, which seems to be the most popular way to get them. While I was expecting more of a garlic flavor, they were really addicting. The crunch on them was really nice. I ate a significant amount of the 2 dozen.
I wouldn't hesitate to get another dozen at some point. Maybe next time I'll even go in.
Again home visiting family one day I was visiting my cousin and really wanted some chicken wings. I didn't know much about this part of the city so she told me to try Change of Pace. I did and was very happy with the results the wings were hot and fresh when I received them. I ordered them over the phone and they were done in 15 minutes. I was kind of leery when I looked at the outside of the building, but once I got inside it was a normal looking bar. The staff was friendly and very helpful.
I am happy I came here for wings there were delicious.
Sign on the door says "sports bar" but the small TVs in the room with the bar say otherwise. Â Wings are good, although it seems like they can only fry up a dozen at a time, because they take forever to arrive. Â Beers are 3-4 bucks, shots all seemed to be around 4. Â People were fucking shitfaced in there at like 7:30 PM on a Monday.
It's alright but unless you live within walking distance, go to Shifty's.
Was named Schnitzel bank's, but has been Change of Pace for 23 years. It's a nice, friendly atmosphere with knotty pine walls and a back room with tables, chairs and a pool table. The bar has about a dozen of the usual drafts including Blue Moon and Yuengling. M-F they offer a really nice lunch menu; some items change daily such as homemade soups. The Monday that we came here, the daily menu sheet had Stuffed Shells with Garlic Bread $5.95, Chili topped with cheddar in a bread bowl, etc. The reg. menu has Apps., Wraps, Pizza, Wings ("voted best"), Burgers and Hot & Cold Sandwiches.
We tried the Philly Wrap with FF $5.95. Comes with a small cup of good marinara sauce and a mound of nice fries. It was great. A cup of Chili w/o crackers was tomatoey (a new word?) with lots of so-so ground beef, little onion and green pepper. But it had enough good, spicy kick.
Also, tried 4 nice stuffed shells in plenty of good homemade sauce, which came with 2 halves of a good 10" sub roll as garlic bread - done right.
