I've started going there on "wing/pizza night". We had a server named Brian and he was awesome. He recommended we order our wings grilled and suggested we order the pizza crispy. He also alerted us that it would take a few more minutes, but it would be worth it, and it was. He also gave an indepth details on most of the beers...which was nice and daily specials.

Fast forward to next-visits>>>we had different servers who hadn't a clue about the menu. We've been there over a 40 times, and NO ONE, except Brian, has ever mentioned specials or recommendations.

We were there last night, as it was "Wing night". Forty-cent wings - 5 wing min.

Our server, walked up, stated his name and said, "Are you ready to order?" No mention of specials...just hurry-up.

We made our order of wings and pizza.

Wings were delivered promptly..as he walked away, I asked where was the pizza? he said it takes longer, but he'd bring it out as soon as it was ready.

A family of different nationality was seated behind us. He approached them with a lithany of specials, including drink recommendations. They, too, ordered wings. He asked if they wanted celery and ranch dressing. He also offered to bring them free pop-corn. They accepted. A

Buffalo Chicken Salad

by piehole at Citysearch

In search of the best salad...

This salad is monster-huge! Sporting a generous portion of crispy chicken tender nuggets soaked with a buffalo-flavored hot sauce that will gradually heat your mouth to a nice simmer. A pile of mixed lettuce is graced with diced tomatoes, celery and a covering of shredded cheddar cheese all served in what has to be a serving bowl. Blue cheese dressing comes served on the side, but my recommendation is to substitute either the creamy parmesan or the laflora Italian, depending on your taste preference. Whatever you do, come hungry. This salad should fill even the heartiest of appetites.
