I've been eating at this restaurant for more than 35 years. This wasn't just another place to grab…read morea meal--it was one of my favorite restaurants and a place I recommended to friends and family without hesitation. That's what makes its decline so frustrating to watch. For what feels like a year or so now, every problem is met with the same explanation: "Sorry, it's a new person in the kitchen." At some point, that excuse stops being believable. Constant turnover isn't bad luck--it's a sign that something is fundamentally wrong. The food quality has become wildly inconsistent. On my latest visit, the fries were so undercooked that some were essentially raw potatoes. The boneless wings were dry and overcooked to the point of being tough. The bone-in wings were questionable enough that I lost my appetite. The best word I can use to describe the meal is simply: ick. The servers deserve better. They work hard, stay professional, and often seem stuck apologizing for problems they didn't create. What concerns me most is the management. On multiple visits, I've watched the manager Josh speak down to employees in a way that no customer should be hearing and no employee should have to endure. I've seen staff members visibly upset and even reduced to tears. When customers can hear employees being talked down to, there is a leadership problem. The owner needs to pay attention. When employees leave, new kitchen staff constantly rotate through, customers hear the same excuses over and over, and food that was once consistently excellent becomes a gamble, the problem isn't the newest person in the kitchen. The problem is the culture being created by management. After 35+ years as a loyal customer, this is not a review I ever expected to write. What was once one of the most reliable restaurants in town now feels like a business surviving on its reputation while quality, morale, and standards continue to decline. The saddest part is that I remember how good this place used to be.

Wings Etc might be the most consistently excellent chain-food experience I've ever had, and this…read morelocation is the gold standard of the many Wings Etc locations I've been to. Between the excellent wings, the dizzying selection of alcohol, and the top-notch wait staff, this restaurant is permanently enshrined as one of my all-time favorites. I knew that I was addicted when, after walking into the bar during one trip with a friend, the bartender (Michael) recognized us and immediately offered up two Blue Moon schooners, our usual. That extremely impressive level of service is likely possible because this location sees a relatively low amount of foot traffic. Despite patronizing this location dozens of times on different days at different hours, we have not once waited for a table. What can be said about the food that hasn't been said already? The wings are spectacular. You can expect them to be large and swimming in sauce. Speaking of which, the sauce choices are overwhelming: their classic BBQ is a go-to, but try out the Say It Ain't Tso or Me-So-Spicy for something a little different. If its alcohol you're after, its hard to do better on this side of town. Their draft selection isn't quite as extensive as Buffalo Wild Wings down the road but it gets the job done without the large crowds and strange chlorine smell. They will certainly do mixed drinks much better. The first time we visited Wings Etc was during a big game night. Buffalo Wild Wings was completely packed, so we continued down the road a bit to try this other place which ended up having a few open tables and spots at the bar. Life is full of strange mysteries; among them I add "Why will people wait thirty minutes for mediocre wings at BWW when there's Wings Etc a half-mile down the road with better food and better service?" I really can't answer that, but at least I won't count myself among the people who make that sorry mistake.

Wings Etc (Dupont Road) - for a change pace for American style food on the north side…read more It's been a long time since I've been to a Wings Etc/ BWW type place. As a chance of pace...we mixed it up and tried Wings Etc on a Sunday afternoon - living on the edge LOL. This facility is located in the far west end of the strip mall at the corner of Dupont and Coldwater Road. It's opposite the Kroger and more toward Casa's. Easy in and easy out as there is parking close to the store. The store is kinda large (at least seemed that way today as it was empty) clean and in good repair. The team was very friendly. The place was slow so we had very attentive service. The food and drink menu is fairly large. They gave a full bar with lots of TV's. Nice place to relax, talk and watch a game. As for the food...I really don't expect a lot from these type of franchise places. I did find the onion rings to be pretty good. Nice meaty piece of onion with a thick batter. Slight crunchy breading - not too oily. No special sauce served with this. Just ketchup if you need it. My wife really liked the grilled chicken bacon wrap. Fresh ingredients and tasty. My grilled chicken quesadilla was large and thick. Tender chicken, thick bed of cheddar cheese and soft tortillas.

Ok local dive bar... Stopped by PP for lunch on a recommendation from a friend; were told they have…read morebest wings in FW. PP was alright... Decent food (the wings are smoked and were very average; nothing to write home about), decent service, and typical local dive bar atmosphere. The biggest drawback here was the bar allowed smoking... While it didn't smell like an ashtray (surprisingly), all the old locals were smoking which is annoying and not appealing when you're eating (Note: Based on the sign above the bar, I don't think they care what you think lol). All-in-all, not bad, but not great... If you like an ole country no-frills dive bar, check out PP.

I have literally no complaints about this place. We went once this summer for a drink while on our…read moreway to pick someone up from the airport. Definitely curious to see what it was like, with all the negative publicity from "the incident". The bar and dining area were clean, the restrooms could maybe use a coat of paint and some refreshing, but were otherwise spotless. We were warmly greeted, welcomed in like regulars. Enjoyed an appetizer with our drinks, pretzel sticks with cheese, which were served hot and fresh. Before leaving, one of the regulars invited us to come back the following week for a hog roast, and we went! We didn't realize until arriving that day, that the hog roast was a memorial after a funeral. We felt a little like we were intruding, but none of the other patrons made us feel that way. At the hog roast, we encountered a very diverse group of people, varying ethnicities, varying income brackets, all enjoying the bar with each other. Recently, we popped in for lunch, and were blown away by the portion sizes and the quality. I had the "garbage pizza" as a sausage roll, and it was enormous! Delicious, heavily loaded with toppings, served hot and fresh. My husband had a grilled buffalo chicken grinder, which was also much bigger than anticipated. Fresh and crunchy veggies topped the grilled chicken in the sandwich. Both meals left plenty for leftovers, or would have been perfect to split for a meal for two. We definitely plan to visit again soon for another meal. Overall, this dive bar is so much more than the negative publicity it received due to an isolated incident. If we lived closer, it would definitely be our regular spot.

We started out with the pickle, Spears and the buffalo chicken dip. Everybody was pleased. My daughter or the wings, barbecue and mild. Very good. A lot of meat on the bone. My son had the mini chicken and waffle sliders. Very tender. A little bit on the small side. But very good. I had the beast burger, with goda cheese and an friend egg. Very very good. I also got the Sarahi ranch on the side. Not to mention everybody love the pub fries, and were in heaven with them.!!!! highly recommended for all families definitely will go back. Please note the meals were all fabulous, I forgot to take pictures ! Not to mention, we got the Oreo, cheesecake, and the strawberry cheesecake to go. Which was very good. Our server was extremely happy and good at her job!!! Never overwhelmed us and always was sure to check on us just at the right time! Very pleased and kudos to the staff in the management for doing such a wonderful job!!!

However we decided to stay and try something else on the menu. The burger was fabulous...had bacon and brisket mixed in with the beef...holy cow delicious! Try the potato kegs too...tater tots with bacon and cheese inside them! The workers were funny and talkative and helpful about deciding what to try since they were out of wings! Hope to give this place another try and comment on the wings!

Laycoff's Tavern (near Granite City/Target, North Clinton St) - iconic place with good pizza…read more Laycoff's is a fun little place to frequent. It doesn't seat a lot of people. So...you might have to wait for a table. Unfortunately there isn't space for a nice waiting area. So you might stand up in the small bar area while you wait. It's okay. Things move fast. Enjoy the people watching opportunity. The team here is very friendly and welcoming in an odd way. They really are glad to serve you. Lots of smiles and friendly smiles. They are efficiently-friendly. They all move and talk fast. They are hustling to serve - not avoid. They will take a moment to get to relate...but not much more than a moment. The service is very good! The Sullivan family is very nice as well. Laycoff's is known for sausage rolls and a community bar environment. My wife loves her sausage roll. Full of tasty cheese surrounded by a light, fluffy and soft dough. The American sausage blended in with the cheese nicely. The menu has a small number of specialty pizzas (only six) along with build-your-own option. The prices are pretty comparable to other bars. On this occasion I got a 16" Everything pizza for $20. A 16 inch pizza was a LOT of delicious pizza. The pizza crust is thin. It is thin enough that almost every bit has a slight crunch. However, it was also soft enough to satisfy the less than crunchy crowd. The crust doesn't have much distinct flavor or seasoning. Just a nice thin crust. The pizza sauce was also hard to distinguish. The pizza is so full of toppings and cheese that you really don't see the sauce. The sauce that was they are blended well with the American sausage base. Now the best part - the fresh toppings! Laycoff's uses the Pizza King approach by using finely chopped toppings. The base of the Everything pizza is a finely ground American sausage. The base of the pizza so completely covered with sausage on the Everything choice. The sausage doesn't have much spice or flair as it is American style instead of Italian. The pepperoni is very thin. The fresh and slightly crunchy onions and peppers are chopped into small pieces. Even the green and black olives seemed to be smaller. The whole pizza was coated in delicious tasting mozzarella cheese. As I mentioned the 16 inch pizza is a large pizza. Laycoff's cuts the pizza into large pieces as well. This pizza could easily feed 3-4 people. Cold Pizza Test - I always want to try the pizza the next morning, cold, and for breakfast. This pizza was outstanding cold and as a left over. The coldness causes the mozzarella cheese taste to really come forward. The saltiness of the olives gets bolder. The bed of sausage and cover of cheese really help keep the pizza moist. The crust stayed a bit soft with a slight crunch. Overall, I really liked the pizza. It wasn't outstanding. However, it was really good at a good value. Dinning at Laycoff's has a sense of memorabilia and nostalgia. Be patient and enjoy the environment.

I ordered my wings well done and extra crispy, which they were. My only mistake was getting mild sauce, it was rather bland. I had to come home and add a little razzle dazzle to them to spice them up. I ordered 20 wings, and no I didn't eat 20, but if I did, mind ya business. LoL! The cost for 20 wings was just at $24, with tax! That's a great deal in my opinion. I'll try them again, but I'll use the app and I'll get the medium sauce.

My wife loves the chicken tenders. They might be the best chicken tenders you every taste. The chicken is moist and juicy. The breading is a bit thicker, sweet and somewhat crunchy. Their homemade honey mustard dipping sauce is delicious. You can not go wrong with the chicken tenders! The Cole slaw is outstanding as well. It is mayo based and very creamy. The cabbage is fresh and has a nice crisp. The sauce has a little bit of spice and what seems like a hint of horseradish flavoring. Very good! The onion rings on this occasion were tough and overly crunchy. It almost hurt my teeth to bit into them. I've had them before with an outstanding taste. Regardless...these are handsome looking onion rings! I am not a burger fan. However, the Bourbon burger was simply delicious! The meat was tender and cooked to a perfect medium rare texture. The burger just melted in your mouth as you savored the burger juices. The bourbon sauce was very good without dominating the burger meat flavor. The sauce was very mild in spice and did have a slight bourbon flavoring.
