Moose McGuire's Orleans — Restaurant in Ottawa

Absolute Comedy was awesome! Line up was pretty solid! Entertainment value was awesome! The wings: Tried to order “hot” wings: like Franks Hot sauce hot wings. Wings were ordered at 7pm, didn’t receive them until 7:45 pm. Barely any sauce on them, might as well have been out of a box and thrown in a microwave. Was only drinking water, water ran out, was never refilled. Apparently this place is “too cool” for “Franks Red Hot sauce”. They serve some kind of weird sauce. Tried the sauces on the table, none of them are that good. The problem is that the wing night competitions occurred over 20 years ago and industry determined the best standards…20 years ago. Trying to reinvent the formula at this point is basically a wasted effort. Unless you’re going to separate the meat from the bone partially, then marinate the wings, then either batter or straight deep fry them, it’s not worth doing it. These wings were breaded and frankly, gross. Wouldn’t have bothered with the breading. Straight up, skin on flash fry, double fry and tossed in sauce. Not rocket science. Doesn’t even compare to the JJs wings experience, Local Heroes wing experiences or the Chucks road house wings experience. Frankly, disappointing like the St Louis wings experience. The reason for this review is because I am craving wings again and JJs wings has my mouth drooling. If I was going to do a special Moose McGuires Special Wing Night: I would get the wings uncoated, split, then peel the meat partially off each wing so it’s bone is basically a toothpick, and I would marinate the wings in ABC sauce with seasoning, then right before first fry, drop into a mix of seasoned corn starch to get it to crisp up. Then fry until the wings are blanched, then portion and set aside. When the order comes up, finish the cooking, and toss in a solid sauce that everyone knows. Using obscure sauces is like using different languages and while everyone is familiar with English, hot sauce has about 5 billion different combinations. That’s why we use Franks as a industry standard. St Louis restaurant uses their own hot sauce and it’s gross. Unless you are the market leader or the standard by which all others will judge, just use Franks. Trying to be different leads to you running 10 cent wing night which isn’t profitable and if your wings suck why bother? It’s better to run a gourmet wing night and charge a bit more but showcase your wings and...

Our server we had, late Monday night, was great.

The food however, was not. I ordered the chicken strips (because I was absolutely not paying $17.50 for a pound of wings). When they arrived we were given the smallest amount of sauce which only helped with counteracting the “sturdiness” so much. I jokingly hit the “chicken strip” off the plate to my pal, and it sounded like I was hitting the plate with a rock. I also tried the poutine which was an extremely interesting combination of a bowl with gravy at the bottom, and not melted cheese and cold fries on top. My bill was over $30 for 4 chicken strips and a poutine, which I wouldn’t mind if it was a cost effective alternative to interlock pavers, but sadly, the LooseDeuce Mcguire’s Chicken Strips are more expensive.

Food; absolutely do not recommend. Unless you want to overpay and spend the next 12 hours in an out of the bathroom.

Atmosphere; was nice, likely a good place to drink. Our server...

Me and my friend went for lunch at this place to enjoy a meal out.

The burgers were ok the onion rings could be a little more the fries were not crispy but soggy

bathroom were clean but tight claustrophobic type

The atmosphere was pretty boring as it did not make me want to come back.

They told me to recommend those dishes I have never tried them before.

Also want to make a complaint about a alcoholic drink I bought there the lady that made forgot to put the alcohol in or maybe she just didn't want to open a new bottle and wasting a vodka bottle I don't know for sure the drink just tasted sweet with no alcohol

waste of a 8 dollar drink if she didn't know how to make the drink just come out and say it I could have excepted that instead of wasting my money

Plus the lady wouldn't...
