Grandpa's Growler

I stopped on the way home from work and got  wings to go. The wife got her usual honey BBQ which was fantastic. I ordered wings not on the menu but called Scottie but that is probably the guys name who made them. I was told they are the "eat at your own risk" wings. That was an understatement. I felt like Adam Richman. The wings were very hot. So hot, I put my beer back in the fridge and got a glass of milk.  I'm glad I tried them but I will stick to just plain hot.

Crap........

Lived here for six years and heard this was a decent place.  Finally went.  Now I'm left to wonder if I should look up the "decent" in the dictionary because it doesn't match my definition.....

Stopped in on a few different occasions recently.  The last time was to have a bite.  I was hungry for wings so I figured I'd give them a whirl.  I looked at the menu and the prices appeared to be better than most.  Since most places are at about a buck a wing now, I figured the $7 range for a dozen was a bargain.  And to top it off, they were on special today for .45 a piece!  I also noticed on the menu that blue cheese and celery were included!  Wow, a blue cheese and celery jail break!!!!  I'm so used to paying for it anymore, I almost lost my mind....

So I order a dozen and tell the bartender I like mine crispy, not rubbery like the rest of the world thinks is acceptable.  No problem and away she goes.  I'm not joking when i say my wings arrived less than 5 minutes later.  Pretty damn quick!

Now I can figure out that since its a wing special day, the probably have a huge pile of pre cooked wings that they flash fry to get them out in a hurry.  I get it.  But why are they not hot????  They are just barely warm...........hmmm.  As far as them being crispy and well done, they were OVERDONE.  The entire wing tasted like i was chewing on bones.  And I have to admit, I have never had any chicken wing overcooked.  I like them crispy, but this was over the top.  I couldn't even finish them.

So out comes the bill. Guess what, no free celery and blue cheese when the wings are on special.  Its only when you pay full price.  Gee thanks.  I can go to Aaroogas and get bent over any time I want.

So this in my opinion is just a dive bar with mediocre food.  It dark, unappealing, and almost creepy with the usual clientele.  And is that linoleum on the bar top?  I'm not sure....

1 star for sure.  I added an extra star becuase the bartender was pretty good.

Grandpa has died.  Its time to bury him.  This is a slop hole.

worse meal  ever 8.95 steak sandwich  2 bites of steak with raw onion and cheese what a rip off,   this place use to have good food.
