Once upon a time, Rivals wings were elite. We're talking…read moreFinding Nemo seagulls energy-- MINE. MINE. MINE. MINE. MINE. You'd take a bite and immediately guard the plate like a raccoon with trust issues. People reached? Hands slapped. Eye contact broken. Survival mode activated. Fast-forward to now. These wings walk out like they're already tired. First bite: meh Second bite: meh Third bite: meh meh meh meh meh Not bad. Not offensive. Just... present. Emotionally unavailable. The culinary equivalent of a shrug. The sauce used to yell. Now it politely clears its throat. The wings used to pop. Now they sigh. Nothing is wrong--and that's the problem. You keep eating, waiting for the old magic to show up like: "Okay... any second now..." But no. The seagulls never arrive. Just a quiet chorus of meh echoing with each chew. Are they terrible? No. Are they what they used to be? Absolutely not. This is wings that remember being great and now collect nostalgia instead of flavor. Final verdict: 3 stars. Rivals--bring back the seagulls.

JP recently built a sweet looking outdoor area and renovated the interior/exterior so it looks…read moreextremely respectable. He painted over all that asinine graffiti that was all over the walls and it's . . . clean looking. Like I can respect the place now that there aren't 700 comments about who has homosexual tendencies. I hope it stays this way. And there's windows. A bar owner finally gets that windows make a bar less depressing and feel airier. Fuck sake. You can smoke in here and the smoke eaters work. This is a plus for me. The food: There are some real gems on this menu. Anything signature in the wing department (preceded with JP's or J-Bone) get a dozen of and shove in your face with reckless abandon. Just inhale the fat, grizzle, & bones (they're good for you). If I could bathe in J-Bone sauce, I would. No lying. I would use that shit as gravy at Thanksgiving. Needless to say, I think the sauce and the dry rubs are fuckstickity-awesome-bo-bossum that bear the bars name - I can't stress this enough. Don't' order sweet and sour and expect instant wing orgasm. They're good, but in the way getting the old rub-n-tug is just, ya know, good. There are generational conflicts in Williamsport about who has the best burgers, hoagies, wraps, salads, nachos, - Meh. I have other favorites. No fresh or local food here, just deep-fried deliciousness. Good prices. They have a very respectable beer selection for South Williamsport. JP is not afraid to rotate the tap system so you're not stuck with the tired old standards all the time (Bud, Miller, Lager, etc.). You can get plenty of that crap, but there is always something craft/near craft available. Not much for wine drinkers. Not much in the way of signature drinks per se. Ok drink specials if you are looking to get drunk fast and cheap. They do make a pickle shot with dill pickles (not the original recipe from the Loyalsock Hotel, no sir). The Bloody Mary is interesting. Lots of Tobasco and two dill pickles. Worth a try. If you like football, this is where you want to be on Sunday. If you are an Eagles fan, you have a home here. If you are not an Eagles fan, you are still welcome, but if Philly has a game at the same time, don't expect to hear your team's commentary - you won't. You will most likely get to see it though since there is a plethora of TVs and the NFL ticket. JP's is mad respectful when it comes to Sunday football. No jukebox! Awesome! Almost every other bar in the area gets this wrong. Service. Depends on who you get. All of the bartenders are female and nice to look at (one is a Goddess- I don't know how else to describe her). Overall, the regular bartenders do a really good job. The cooks push food out quickly. Most of the staff is friendly, but some of them are just a little too focused on the regulars. Regulars: Lottsa locals and there's a lot of meat in those heads. The pretty bartenders and sports theme attracts younger men with more testosterone than they know what to do with, lots of flexing. It's a good place for a girl to go if she is looking to get pregnant. Today. Cops: The parking lot in the back of the building is a cop magnet. South Williamsport's finest love to bust patrons coming out of the bar and trying to make a left turn on the Maynard St. Bridge toward Williamsport. They watch you from the Fastenal lot. They also do roving patrols near the bar down Maynard St. and east on Southern. Be careful who's behind you! Also, 9 out of 10 times, if they do a drunk stop, they do it right there at the intersection.

Despite being one of the few patrons in the restaurant, my order took quite some time to come out. Drinks were made instantly, but I finished two before my entree arrived. The bathroom was strangely the only sticky element of the establishment. *Ribeye: huge 18 ounce ribeye served with sweet potato fries and creamed corn. Although I asked for medium rare, the edges leaned closer to medium well. That said, the steak was thoroughly seasoned and tender throughout. The sweet potato fries were heavily seasoned with sea salt, though the potatoes themselves were sweet enough to balance it out. The creamed corn was the most pungent and watery component. I wished the sauce had been thickened more, as it pooled underneath the steak and softened the bottom crust. Overall, this dish was hefty and a steal for the price. *Frost Bite: one of the seasonal mixed drinks. The Malibu and pineapple juice gave this a pina colada style profile. The blue curacao added a striking snowy appearance, though the drink itself leaned quite sweet. *Jingle Juice: another seasonal option, though this one packed a stronger alcohol punch. The tequila was more prominent, while the peach schnapps helped soften the edge. However, the cranberry and orange juices were barely noticeable, so it did not quite deliver the spiked fruit punch profile I was expecting. I loved the generous portions and strong flavors. While the execution was not perfect, the large sizes and heavy pours still made this a jolly experience.
