Mesquito Grille

So now that I've returned to being a carnivore, I can say the wings I had tonight were so incredibly good. I'm anxious to try the other dry-rub options (tonight I had the hickory BBQ)
I've had the friend pickles all over town (MOMS, Hickory) and these are the best. Thick slices, crisp breading- yum!!
Beer selection is amazing as always. The owner clearly appreciates sitting down and breaking meat, bread and beer with people.

Best wings in town. Awesome beer selection.

Mesquito Grille was just okay for me.

The wings are great, but the blue cheese  - arguable the most important part of the buffalo wing experience - was tasteless and strange. I could hardly tell if it was blue cheese. Not a good sign. We ordered a rack of ribs and fries as well. The ribs were mediocre at best - extremely tough, too tough. Could hardly get any meat off the bone. We were told the fries are like Chickie's and Pete's fries without the cheese sauce. They weren't. Not even close.

The atmosphere of Mesquito's, however, was lovely. We sat on the roof and had it to ourselves. Unfortunately it meant we were fairly ignored by the waitstaff. Had I been in a different mood, I would have more unfavorable things to say about the service, but I was relaxed and in no rush.

Anyway, long story short, I wouldn't go back. Maxwell's on Main has WAY better wings and a better overall menu.
