I'll try to keep this concise. But from the beginning of the ordering process of this location not being listed on the main website. To the literal half cup of oil that my wings were swimming in this was a poor experience. The wings were cooked well, the mild (6.5/10), and spicy garlic parmasan (6.5/10) were fine. However the "juicy Cajun garlic" (1/10) was an absolute swamp of oil that spilled out of the container into the to go bag whetting everything in the bag. Miraculously the wings themselves seemed to avoid any of the sauce at all. Upon finishing our meal I poured off the oil into a measuring cup, even without whatever spilled into the bag a full half cup of oil remained from a 10 piece order. The chicken tenders 1/10 were overcooked and dry. The ranch is house branded and disappointing. The onion rings seem to be chopped onion in a batter that is pressed into a ring and fried so on one hand it's nice that when you bite into them you aren't pulling out a floppy onion strand but on the other it's slightly disconcerting to bite into an onion ring and not feel any onion. 6/10 Cheese steak egg roll overpriced but tasty 7/10 On a lark I added the house fried rice 7.5/10 for $4 honestly the best part of my meal despite floating precariously over a water bed of oil separated by a transparent piece of parchment paper I seemed to have failed to keep it concise. Tl;dr overpriced for what it is. If you're going to try it anyways stay away from the juicy Cajun garlic and the...
Read moreToday was my first day ordering from this restaurant and everything was going well up until I actually got there to pick up my food. When I arrived and inquired about my order, the cashier pointed to where my food was and handed me my drink cups. I filled them and set them on the counter next to the cashier; however, before leaving, I realized I needed to use the restroom. I was in there for maybe 2 minutes before coming out to see that my order / drinks were no longer on the countertop. I asked the cashier where they had went and she looked confused for a bit and turned to who I assumed was the cook and asked him about it, but of course he didn’t know because he wasn’t up front when I came. The cashier’s excuse was that she was assisting another customer so she wasn’t paying attention, but the problem with that is that the order was sitting right next to her. At the time, there were only 3 adults in the restaurant. 2 of them sitting down and 1 at the register. It would be different if it was packed in there, but the place was basically empty! What kind of situational awareness do you have to let a random person walk up and take an order that you just told someone else was theirs? Someone did offer to remake the food, but I had to get a refund because I did not have an extra 15-20 minutes to sit around and wait for them to remake the entire thing. I was actually excited to try the food, but the experience annoyed me so badly that I’m not even sure I’ll...
Read moreI'd give it 4.5 Stars. They have decent, but not amazing, versions of two things I've been missing since moving to STL. A few misses too, unfortunately.
The good:
They have a solid cheesesteak. American, not whiz, but enough fat to make it good and the addition of peppers and mushroom reminds me of when Texadelphia used to be good .
Flaming hot wings are pretty solid. Small, but inexpensive (this isn't a bad thing -- small means more sauce). Good stuff. Personally I'd prefer them to be even hotter, but we're in the Midwest. A higher/spicier tier and leaving the flaming where it is could work. They're challenging for top wing in STL, though the competition isn't too fierce.
The indifferent:
Fries are crinkle cut and a bit large cut for my preference. Nothing wrong with them, but nothing special. They feel like typical bought in fries.
The problems:
The blue cheese sauce is easily the worst I've ever had. It has next to no flavor. I'll try dipping fries in ranch or a side of wing sauce next time. It's not spoiled, it just tastes of next to nothing -- no blue cheese pungency. It's not spoiled enough.
The napkins are super thin, reminding me of toilet paper. They're napkins, but so fragile I had to peel pieces off my fingers after I wiped my hands. Just not suitable for...
