We ordered wings (they were on special for $1 each, I believe), fries, and onion rings. The wings were excellent—plump, meaty, and cooked just right. We tried two flavors: medium buffalo and spicy BBQ. The spicy BBQ were grilled after being sauced, which gave them great flavor without being messy. I went with blue cheese on the side, which was okay—seemed like it might’ve come from a jar rather than house-made.
The real standout? The onion rings. Perfectly crispy, the breading stayed on when you bit into them, and a generous portion for just $6. The fries, on the other hand, weren’t our favorite. They were shoestring style and a bit overcooked, though to be fair, that’s just not our preferred fry style.
The space is small—only about 8 tables and a decent-sized bar (which was full when we arrived). It was pretty loud, which made conversation difficult. At one point, there was a table using a lot of profanity and had clearly been drinking for a while, but the server handled it well and moved them outside, which improved the atmosphere significantly. It was also a bit warm inside—not unbearable, but noticeably stuffy.
Overall, we’d definitely go back, especially for the wings. It probably won’t be a frequent stop for us just because of the size and noise level, and we tend to prefer standard-height tables over high-tops. But if we lived nearby, it’d be a solid local hangout. Great wings, solid service, and unbeatable prices on special nights.
The absolute best mushroom steak hoogie. Now that I know the secret, I will report back…. Not with the secret, but if they are consistent at recreating the best mushroom hoogie I have ever tasted.
Great story on the back of the menu about the inspiration for “Old Guy!”
