    Absolutely delicious! I ordered from Wingz and a Prayer twice in the same week because it was that…read moregood. The wings were packed with flavor, and the sides were also really good and paired perfectly with them. The only small issue was the second time I ordered I added the banana special dessert, and it was accidentally left out of the bag. I meant to reach out, but they had already closed by the time I noticed. Honestly, the food was so good it didn't take away from the experience. Hopefully next time I go, I'll mention the dessert and have it added to the next order. I'll definitely be ordering again. If you're looking for wings with tons of flavor, this place delivers.

    We stopped here on our last trip to Kalahari. There's not many good food options by the waterpark…read more We looked up Yelp and decided to come here before checking in to the waterpark. Not realizing the time, we got there right when they opened and they were still setting up. The entire staff was really nice and we sat around in their dining area admiring all the positive art pieces and news clipping on their history. It's an amazing story of overcoming the struggles of Covid dining limitations. The staff is really the major standout in my eyes. Everyone was just so welcoming, it felt like we were over at a friend's house. The food was great too, wings were up there with the best we had and the rice as well. We ordered some extra rice to go. If you're looking for a nice comfort spot by the waterpark. Give them a try!

    Took my best friend to her favorite restaurant, Frank's Place in Simpson for her 50th birthday…read moredinner and WOW. From the second we walked in, the staff made us feel like VIPs. Warm, attentive service without hovering...exactly what you want for a special night. We started with the fried calamari and shrimp cocktails. Calamari was golden, tender, zero rubbery pieces, and the shrimp cocktail was huge, fresh, and perfectly chilled. Already a win. For mains, we went all out: Ribeye Steak cooked to a perfect medium-rare with a great sear, Rack of Lamb that was tender and seasoned beautifully, Lobster Crab & Seafood Fra Diavolo with just the right kick, and the Crab & Shrimp Spinach Fettuccine was creamy, packed with seafood, and didn't skimp on the crab. Every plate came out hot and every bite was spot-on. Portions are generous, vibe is cozy but still feels special enough for a 50th, and they even helped us make the birthday moment memorable. No rushed tables, no attitudejust great food and genuine hospitality. If you're in Simpson or driving through, Frank's Place is worth the stop. We'll be back with more friends in tow. Thanks for making her 50th so perfect!

    Reservations is a must for this place because this is now the second time my family and I got…read moreturned away. Past two times we've been there we went around 7 and they said they were "closed". It sucks because we travel 30 minutes to get here and my mother has a cane and on Mother's Day we were turned away even though we had a reservation (when we called the person must've been new because they said nothing about them closing early) and on Google (which is what my mother uses not every person uses Facebook) they still said 9. We obviously won't come again but the food is good!
