We used to come to Lucky Wishbone a lot pre-pandemic. If i were to base my rating on those experiences, it would be a better rating.
We were passing the other night, decided to go in and eat. The parking lot was empty, there was no one inside, and the sign on the door said please call in your order, which i did. I got a recorded message stating that it wasn't open today. Ok, fine, we'll come another day.
So yesterday, husband said let's go to Lucky Wishbone. As they had a website, we ordered online for pickup - believing the dining room to be closed, based on the sign on the door.
We ordered, and it was DANG expensive, for only being chicken and fries.
We both got a Mom, as well as a side order of onion rings, and orange juice for me. There was nowhere for me to state, "do not add ice to my drink, i hate it"
We were already in their parking lot when we got the message to collect our order.
We sat in their parking lot, so we did not drive anywhere to eat the food. We literally collected the food, and ate it right there.
I do not like lukewarm food. The takeout food is served in cardboard boxes, and the steam that the food had sat in, affected the integrity of the fries. They were limp and flaccid. We do not like limp and flaccid anything. They were also very salty.
I had ordered a side of ranch, which wasn't there, nor were there any napkins, and considering you're eating with your fingers, you need napkins.
He went back for my ranch.
The chicken here is good. Juicy, tender, and well cooked. Hot enough. The cornbread muffin was delicious. The fries were as I already described, and i had to fold them in half to enable me to dip them in the ranch. The onion rings had good flavour actually, but were also floppy, and I'd have liked more batter, as it had mostly fallen off by the time we got them.
My orange juice had a lot of ice, and already tasted watery by the time i got it.
I think what was most annoying, was the fact that there were people in the dining room - the sign on the door, had led us to believe they were doing takeout only. I know the experience would have been better had we eaten inside.
So, I'm basing my review on the experience last night, and not previous times.
Great chicken and cornbread. Poor fries, and onion rings, watery orange juice, no napkins, no ranch. Expensive chicken and fries.
