From Erica's review
Mar 8, 2016
My husband and I were debating where to eat a few days ago, and I suggested Toxic because I had seen tons of good stuff on Yelp about it. Oddly enough, he had seen something as well, although not on Yelp because he's not a big Yelper. We ended up going somewhere else, but on the condition our next trip was to try out Toxic. We found it, which if you aren't looking for it, you'll totally miss it. It's a very tiny restaurant, although not far from the strip mall where Bi-Mart is, and Abby's Pizza and the bowling alley. You just have to pay attention to find it the first time. We went in and were greeted by the cashier immediately. We studied the menu long enough that she asked if we had been there before, which we said no. She said if you have any questions, feel free to ask. She didn't say it and wander off or get impatient, it was a friendly and helpful invitation. She informed us that the sauces came on the side unless otherwise specified, which was just fine with me, especially being our first time. My husband ordered 20 wings and I had a double cheeseburger, without tomatoes and extra pickles. They forgot the specifics of my burger, as it had tomatoes on it. It wasn't a huge deal. It's only when pickles are left off that I get hostile. So I lived with it, as there was no reason to send it back. We had BBQ sauce, the chili lime something, raspberry habanero, and parmesan garlic sauces. I loved the raspberry habanero, and my husband loved the chili lime one. The bbq sauce was store bought, my husband citing it was likely Bullseye brand. He works in a restaurant, and that's what they use, which tasted the same he said. I'm not a bbq sauce fanatic, so I can't tell which store brand is which, but it works. The wings are advertised as being smoked and then deep fried. It had a different taste to them, given they were smoked. But the skin was super crispy and the meat very tender. It was perfect. I tried a couple of his wings. I loved them. My husband drizzled sauce into his wings, as it was difficult to dip them into the sauces. I despise finger foods, really. I eat pizza with a fork, which should tell you something. We did agree that we are getting boneless wings the next time because it's my preference, and it'll make dipping easier. If you're a fan of bone-in wings, I would recommend that you have them tossed with whatever sauce you choose. If we do get bone-in wings next time, we will ask that they are tossed in sauce instead of on the side, but we are giving the boneless ones a try next time. The restaurant itself is incredibly tiny, but they do have outside seating, which is a larger area than the dining room. I don't know how it would be for conversation purposes, given how much traffic is on River Road. But it would be worth a try on a sunny day. Customer service is great. Another customer ordered wings, which one was dropped in the kitchen, and the cashier told this to the customer when she brought his wife's salad (which was a huge salad!) and they sent him out a couple extra wings because of it. Which I think is great. Another one (obviously a regular) walked in and said he would have his regular. So they know the regular customers well and take care of problems. Which I definitely appreciate from any business. That's what keeps me coming back, for sure. read more
