“ Went here Monday for the first time. Excellent service and delicious wings. I like that it's a hole in the wall type of place, there wasn't loud music or obnoxious people (we all know the type, act like they're still in college at a frat party). I'm looking forward to my next visit. ”

“ My girlfriend and I frequent here. It's always clean and the atmosphere is drama free. It's quiet enough that conversation is not an issue and lively enough to be inviting. If you're looking for a place to have a drink, or smoke and not be bothered; or hit on by others this is a great spot. ”
