Dillingers Pub & Grill — Restaurant in New York

I've visited Dillinger's multiple times since I moved to Astoria over 12 years ago but I was somewhat disappointed with my last visit on 25 cent wing night (Tuesday). Just a note that they offer 25 cent wings but there are a thousand fine prints, not all flavor of wings are part of the special, and they even charge you for the sauce which comes in a tiny cup. This isn't something new and it's not part of my complaint, I just wanted everyone to be aware of all restrictions and extras. I just hope they don't start charging for napkins and to use the restrooms.

I totally understand people need to drink so the restaurant can make money because if people go there, eat 20 wings and drink water, they would end up spending a little over 10 bucks. But my friends and I always drink a lot of beer, we order multiple pitchers of beers and our bill is always 80% drinks / 20% food. But last night the waiters were very systematic. We were in a group of 5, we ordered a pitcher for 4 of us and one person ordered a bottled beer. Since we drink a lot, by the time the waiter came to take our food order, we ordered a second pitcher and also ordered a total of 30 wings (10 bbq, 10 buffalo, 10 hot garlic because garlic parmesan wasn't included in the special). In my opinion, ordering 30 wings for 5 people is a reasonable number to start, 6 wings each. But the waiter said he had to check if we were eligible to order 30 wings based on the number of drinks we had ordered so far. He ended up bringing the wings, and after drinking 2 other pitchers plus another bottled beer, we decided to order 20 more wings and, once again, the waiter said he had to check inside. We felt as if the restaurant was doing us a favor by giving us wings (which we were paying for).

Dillinger's management, if you know how to do basic math you will see that we had 6 pitchers of beer for 4 people, (1.5 pitcher per person) and one person had 2 bottled beers. I, myself drank one and a half pitcher of beer alone. So can I have 10 wings? (50 wings for 5 people). Or is it too much to ask?

Stop complicating things, I’ll never be back!. If you can't keep selling wings for 25 cents just increase the price to 50 cents and treat customers better. I would definitely pay 5 dollars for 10 wings if I didn't have to almost beg to be served. Our bill was over 150 bucks total so as you can see we did...

So clearly this place is Scamming the General Public with False and Misleading advertising . The Flyer attached says Wednesdays $10.00 Steaks , and they dont say on the flyer that each person in your party has to order another $10.00 of food. So The manager said either a soda and soup or salad but Person. So they clearly are mis-leading the General Public and the guy who posted a year ago this Review is right on target! That is not what is says on there flyer on the outside of their restaurant ! i would be leary ! Proceed with caution BUYER Be aware !!

POSTED BY Nick Mistry Local Guide · 23 reviews A YEAR AGO - Good food but horrible dining experience. Don't believe the low "special" prices. The $10 steak ended up being $16 per person even though we met the $10 minimum spending requirement per person. I asked what the sides are with the steak. They said you can choose either mashed potatoes or vegetables. So I chose vegetables. When the bill came, they added $3 for a side of vegetables, per person. Then they added $2.00 up-charge because the $20 in other purchases were appetizers. So, a $10 steak night turned into a $60 bill for two. And the waiter acknowledged this was a crappy thing to do. So guess what. Screw you. Never going back. Me or my friend. You want to nickel and dime your customers, go ahead. See how...

Came here on a Wednesday for steak night. Party of 3 with a child. Food was pretty decent. Server was Michael. Initially we ordered 2 apps and 3 steak specials which is when our server stated that the steak offer was available once each guest ordered either $10 in food or drinks. After this we ordered a 3rd app to hit the $30 total as per his instructions for the 3 specials and he put the order through. After eating our apps and starting our entrees Michael came over without any apologies or explanation and said "So the deal with the steak is you have to pay full price for one of them". This was strange for many reasons but especially because we barely touched the 3rd app he had us order to hit the minimum. Busser was very attentive and rest of staff was great. Would think twice about dining in another time if he was our server again. Over 30 years in the service industry between 2 of the guests. We have no problem dining out and paying for our meals, would just like more clarity. Also it's worth noting that we were told steak was skirt but it was actually hangar (both are good...
