We dined at the new Wings Over Frisco, and while the experience had its ups and downs, it left me with positive feelings.
First, let's talk about the star of the show: the wings. They were cooked to perfection, large, and had a great texture. However, I was disappointed that they lacked the bold flavors I was expecting from a place specializing in buffalo wings. They could definitely use a flavor boost. We had the buffalo ranch and the Cajun, both of which needed more dry seasoning. The fries, on the other hand, were a letdown. They were chewy and not as crispy as I'd like them to be, which was a missed opportunity considering how well the wings were cooked. My son ordered the orange chicken, which to be honest was a bit of a surprise to see on a sports bar menu, but why not, right? He said the chicken was tender and juicy, but the vegetables were very mushy (they seem to be a frozen product which was over microwaved). The ranch dressing was fine, the bleu cheese dressing was on the milder side in regard to bleu cheese taste.
The ambiance of the restaurant was a plus. It felt clean and had a trendy vibe, making it a comfortable place to watch a game on their many TVs or enjoy a meal with friends. The clean restrooms were a welcome sight. They also have food delivery robots like you might seen in a sushi restaurant. Huge plus for kids, a fun novelty for adults.
Our server was friendly and overall did a good job, but it was evident that he was still very new and not very familiar with the menu. This became apparent when he wasn't able to answer a few questions about the menu. Also, I ordered a second drink that never arrived. After about 15 minutes, I had to inquire about it, and I was informed that the bartenders had forgotten to make it. While it was promptly fixed, the delay was a bit of a buzzkill.
As for the prices, they were about what you'd expect at a sports bar, so nothing too outrageous. However, if you sign up for their online mailing 'VIP' list, they'll give you a free dessert, so that's a great reason to sign up.
I think this place has great potential, but there are some areas that need improvement, particularly in the flavor department for their wings and the overall efficiency of their service. I think that these are likely just growing pains of opening a new business and if they can address these issues, it could become a solid spot for wing enthusiasts and sports fans alike.
I feel like this was a 3.5 star experience which rounds up to 4 stars in my book! I'm cutting some slack due to this still being a very new restaurant, but I'm excited to try them again in the near future. read more
