We were blown away by takeout from Avondale Tap - what a treat!…read more Looking for a great sandwich, I stumbled upon Avondale Tap in a delivery app and cross checked it with Yelp, seeing great reviews. I'm so glad I found it because it did not disappoint. We ordered a duck grinder with sweet potato tots subbed for fries, along with a cheeseburger from the kids menu. The quality and flavor of everything was excellent, as was the value. The duck grinder and very generous side of tots was enough for two meals (for me, at least). But even if it wasn't, I wouldn't care because it was so unique and delicious. The richness of the tender, well-seasoned duck was complemented beautifully by the chimichurri, and the roll was just the right size and thickness to hold everything together while letting the filling take center stage. The burger was also great - and at a quarter pound vs the half pound burgers on the regular menu, it's a nice choice if you don't want something huge. Whatever is happening in the Avondale Tap kitchen, they've got a great thing going. I'd order again (or check them out in person) in a heartbeat!

Unique, creamy and full of flavor. Will definitely be back!

I have been here a few times, and I love how gracious and outgoing the staff is.

Also, they ducked up my order last time and I don't notice until I got home. I called them and they were going to refund me, but I decided to drive back in and get it. They ended up comping the food that was missing and they threw in some more food that I ordered when there. It was their mistake and they did me right. I didn't ask for it but they did the right thing. They won my business. That's how you treat your customers.

At 4pm on a weekday it was already bustling, and this place is popular for good reason! The entire vibe and the staff are just super cool. Even the bathrooms are an experience, with heavy metal music blasting in a way that just adds to the unique charm. To drink, I tried the lucky linny and blood orange sour, which were both fantastic. I'm not typically a huge beer person, but after this visit I'm well on my way to crossing to the other side. For the appetizer, we split the cheese curds. I really liked the Korean inspired twist and the kimchi aioli served alongside. I think it could've used a little more salt and arrived warmer for a nice cheese pull, but otherwise it was enjoyable. I opted for the double cheeseburger as the main event, and it was really well done. The beef was juicy, perfectly cooked, with ample high quality cheese and caramelized onions. I think the sauce could've used an extra something, but overall it was a great burger. Great experience all around. Can't recommend highly enough and look forward to returning soon!

I'm giving an overall review here based on 4-5 visits. First of all, great beer selection and…read morethere's always something for everyone. You want a sweeter beer? They've got it. Hazy? Got it. Boozy? Check. No complaints there. Most of their food is pretty good. Went yesterday and had their nachos which were great. Unfortunately their mac of the month sounded good before we got it. Mac and cheese with mushrooms and bacon sounds great. But when we got it, it not only didn't look good it was just weird and they really missed the boat with it. They added blue cheese to it for some reason which threw off the taste, had raw tomatoes on it which added to an already way too liquidy sauce, and the pasta was way overdone. It's a shame because their pimento mac with breadcrumb crust is great. I feel like they just tried to get too fancy with that one and also forgot that if you add piping hot sauce to done pasta, it keeps cooking it. That said, service was very good and we will come back...but we will be wary of the mac of the month.

Now you only get that basement vibe when you head to the bathroom. lol Monti's is a legit cool kid now, and I'm not mad at it at all. The cheesesteak? Still doing what it's supposed to do. I ordered one to go and demolished it later that night, like usual. I did sit in and have a few beers and bites. Somehow I've been sleeping on the onion rings and wings this whole time. Listen, listen, listen, Linda, the onion rings; Do Not Change Them!!! Don't you dare switch to those battered, frozen, chain-restaurant rings of bull-s. These are the good rings. Now, the wangzzzz. I'm not going to pretend these are the absolute best wings in the entire city, but they are absolutely in the "I will randomly crave these on a Tuesday" category. The meat could use a little marinade situation to bring more flavor inside, but that crispy coating holds up to the sauce like a champ. I like it, I like it, I like it. Extra points for a buffalo sauce that actually has some thickness to it and isn't just "here's some hot sauce, on a wing being called buffalo sauce. Now, I am going to need to try some of the other wing sauces, but if they hold up too. I would rather come here than go to some other well known wing spots. Honestly, I can see myself rolling through just for wings, rings, and vibes. And that Golden Monkey beer? Yeah, go ahead and keep that on tap forever. Please and thank you. haha

I saw this on Groupon last night and saw that it was pretty close to me. Thought I'd try it since I…read morehad a hankering for some wings. I will say they were solid wings and a great option for takeout. We got four 6 wing meals. The cook (and the owner?) gave us a few more wings which was nice. They have 40 sauces which was a little bit of a shell shock. I think I got too many of the same kind of wings. Hell, Buffalo, and Louisiana Ranch were all kind of the same. It's on me, but I wish I could have gotten a little more direction. Either way, the wings were great! I especially liked Hell since they were super spicy and had a really good taste. The only wings were cooked great! The fries were surprisingly good! We also got an order of fried shrimp which was excellent. They only "downsides" were there my dads BBQ wings were all wings and no drumsticks. It was we kind of a weird. Also, their website doesn't give all the great wing options so you kind of need to use Grubhub (which takes a portion). I'd recommend going there to order, but it takes some time to cook the food. Still, everything is cooked to order so you are getting fresh wings and some place to check out!

My love was very excited to get a Groupon for FireWings, so we checked this place out recently…read more FireWings is a smallish place on Pulaski just south of Lawrence and adjacent to an alley. They seem to have inconsistent opening hours. We live near it and have walked past it at random times - sometimes looks open, sometimes looks closed. For a while they had a sign in the window touting a breakfast menu on the weekends, but not sure if they are still pushing that early agenda. The menu features wings of course, but they also sell burgers, burritos, and fried shrimp. They have a list of 40 sauce selections for their wings. Orders of wings and burgers also come with a side of fries. When we walked in to place our takeout order, we were told that it would take only 10 minutes. I was surprised, as I was anticipating a much longer wait based on some of the Yelp reviews. After my love and I witnessed a peaceful protest on Pulaski for about 15 minutes, we went back to FireWings and our order was ready to go. My order of 6 wing pieces with honey BBQ sauce was good if not great. The fries that came along with the wings rate a bit better, as they were crisp and flavorfully seasoned. The celery stalks were very basic, and the not-quite-ranch dipping sauce tasted pretty decent. My love went with the cheeseburger, and the bite of the burger I tried was tasty. I'd say FireWings is worth a try, but be sure that they are open for business!
