“Say It Ain’t So”, a debut song by American rock band Weezer. For the past three decades this song is what came to mind when I heard these words, but after visiting Wings Etc. this has forever changed. No longer when I hear that phrase will I think of the aforementioned 1992 hit. No from now on the final word of that phrase will be preceded by a silent "T." A "T" that stands for tasty. A "T" that stands for terrific. A "T" that stands for triumphant, timeless, transformative.
When I first tasted... Nay, experienced the exceptional "Say It Ain’t Tso" wings, I realized that I had never before in my life felt such a forlorn and agonizing pain in knowing that something was missing from my life that I did not even know existed. For a moment this feeling filled me with immeasurable dread, but in that same moment I was brought back from the brink of torment as the wave of flavor crashed into me in a way that no other food has ever accomplished.
To say that my life has changed after this day is an immense understatement. For no single word, sentence, or other literary work could capture the emotion I felt from these wings. In truth, the emotions unveiled by this experience could only be portrayed through a higher level of expression found in mediums such as song or interpretive dance. But sadly, I am neither singer nor dancer. I am but a humble man, who on this day has been graced by flavor. A flavor that I will carry with me to the ends of the earth. A flavor that I would know no bound to obtain. A flavor that I would enthusiastically drive the 171 miles from my house to reacquaint with.
As a wise man once said "10 out of 10,...

We had our 2 month puppy in our car, sat in front of the window by the car, told our waitress that we had her in the car in case somebody was concerned about her. At the time it was 65-67 outside. Had the windows down just got her and the sunroof open. The puppy has separation anxiety because we adopted her and she’s been in a cage her whole life. We made 100% sure she was going to be okay in the car, so I sat in the car with the windows cracked and sunroof open for 10 minutes at least. Grabbed our drinks, got our appetizer within 5 minutes, ate those and talked to my friends for 10 minutes. Went to go out to check on her, and the MANAGER along with her GIRLFRIEND decided they were going to stare and ARGUE about neglecting the puppy. One of my friends grabbed the puppy while we argued about it. At this point, they took the dog in and she fell asleep. All I have to say is, if she was NEGLECTED she would’ve been in the car without the windows down in scorching heat. Most disrespectful behavior and people I’ve met since I’ve been here. Never going here again. Also manager said she was too small to be a service animal. Girlfriend has her as an ESA because of her anxiety as well. So either way she would’ve had to...
Read moreSo...came across this place because I was staying at the Fairfield Inn next door due to some unfortunate circumstances with my flight to Beckley.
The front desk clerk described the place as "similar to Buffalo Wild Wings". Pretty accurate if you're looking for a wing place. The menu was similar to the BWW locations back home.
Very grateful that they were open til midnight as I got checked in around 8:30 or so and had been travelling all day.
Ok..here we go....the GOOD: Great atmosphere The "large size" draft beer was in fact LARGE. Bartender/server was friendly, but it was clear they were a little short staffed Value for the money
What could be better: Learn how to make a wrap that doesn't fall apart when you pick it up. I had to ask (and wait for) eating utensils so I could eat the contents of my wrap. The menu stated that the wrap came with fries and one other side. I ordered veggies. When the order came, there were no fries. I asked my server about it and she said it came with the mixed veggies and not fries because that's what I ordered. (Obviously some miscommunication happened here but I ordered based on what the menu said!) I did order curly fries....they were ok...nothing...
