Highway Robbery Alert. There is a theme here if you read the reviews. The owner here is unprofessional, abrasive, and his prices are just way too high. Plus his menu is deceptive.
So if you don't mind overpaying for your food then you go here. Here's a newsflash - - the chicken wing shortage has been over since August. They announced that costs of chicken wings have now reached all time lows, yet vendors (like this guy) continue to charge you an arm and a leg. But is it worth it? No.
But I want to be fair here - - the wings are good here, what's not good is the deceptive marketing and exorbitant prices and an abrasive and over aggressive owner. Such a turnoff I won't bet back, the wingies here are not worth it.
I put an order for 12 wings. TWELVE. That costs $22. I get the order and then he says to me - after the fact - "oh our wings come connected so you each one of these wings = 2". I'm like WTF are you talking about?
So I open it up and we have SIX wings in there. They are the regular large wings, which is a wing and drumstick attached. So we got six large wings for $22?!? No, man. No. We've been eating wings for 30 years, and no one does that, they don't double up and manipulate the order quantity, they just tell you that you're getting SIX large wings.
Why don't you reveal that from the beginning, and Why don't you just say you get SIX large wings for $22?? If you said that ahead of time you wouldn't have to justify the rationale. It's simple. It's deceiving. Because 12 for $22 looks better on the menu than 6 for $22. He got a bit abrasive so I just let it go. You're not supposed to get abrasive with customers, that's very unprofessional.
And he's really pushy for more sales, all of which are way overpriced. He's charging $8-10 for fries for the combo meal. For Fries?!? And the customers told me the curly fries aren't that good but he's charging you that much? You can buy a package of curly fries at Trader Joe's for $4! And he was pushing desserts - how much? $10 for a small bowl. WTF? I don't mind suggestive selling, but this guy is too pushy and aggressive, it was almost like desperation mode to sell. No one is going to pay $10 for a small sample of dessert. The others I was there with we like hells no.
Ok - the wings were crispy, they had a nice (Asian) sauce and seasoning on them and they tasted good. But 6 large wings for $22 is just not worth it, especially when you can get a whole roasted chicken from Costco for $4.99!! If you look at the past pictures he raised prices by 38% from several months ago - was charging $16 now $22. You're getting ripped off so bad here you're essentially paying for his sauce and seasoning - which is not worth it. Some people seem to be overlooking that fact but that's on them - what will happen here is we got inflation coming, and those who decide to come back to him will come back less and less often because these prices are outrageous.
Highway Robbery + Deceptive Sales & Marketing + Abrasive / Aggressive service = 1-star. The wings were good but I'm one-and-done with this place. It's not worth the hassle, the bullish behavior, and getting ripped off.
