“ I was lucky enough to go here on Wednesday night, which is when they have “all you can eat wings”. I tried them with their Mango Habanero sauce and it was amazing. It had a great blend of sweetness and hotness. My drink of choice was the Shark Punch - which I loved (had several). I told my team how good it was a several other people got one too and thought it was amazing. We had a great time! Plenty of screens to watch various games. Waitresses were extremely nice and helpful the whole time. We also tried various appetizers like the cheese curds and spinach dip which were a huge hit. One of the bar tenders did break a glass while we were there which ended up scaring a few of us for a second, but it was fine. ”
