Fireman Dan's Sports Lounge

I went to this place with a group of friends based on their reputation for wings. When I entered I was a little bit surprised, it is not our usual type of place. It definitely has a small-town redneck type vibe to it, but that didn't really bother me at all. On Tuesdays they have a special where wings are $.35 and select beers $2.50. I ordered like 25 hot wings and they came out perfect. Not too big, not too small, and no mutants. I have had wings at a lot of different places and these seem to be the best so far.

Like a lot of places in the area this is a place frequented by locals with your typical assortment of bar food.  The attraction to this place seems to be that is a few different rooms (one for entertainment, one for the bar), a packaged good store, a patio and a nice backyard with a view of a river.  The menu does have a little bit more than the typical bar appys and grease food which makes up for the misspelling of a Caesar salad (not the first time and won't be the last).  After reading some reviews on other sites I found out this place had a good rep for wings.  A lot of smaller dive/sports bar type places typically do a good job with wings too so I was curious to see how they would compare.  I ordered some spicy garlic wings.  Unfortunately to say they were mediocre would be kind.  The sauce was bland, the garlic consisted of clumps of garlic that you get out of bottle at the dollar store, the blue cheese was bad and the celery included a piece of the stalk that didn't belong there.  I didn't try anything else after that.  It seemed like I was catching them as a lot of the staff we're getting ready for the night crowd so maybe this was a rushed order.   I generally like to sample a few other items before reviewing but as a wing connoisseur after leaving with mediocre wings it left such a bad taste in my mouth (pun intended) I had to give it a review.
