I went to the Wing House on South Florida Avenue, this past past Saturday, to have lunch with an old friend of mine, Billy. I arrived via Umber. There we shared wings. We ordered from the bartender. I was specific in asking that the wings be cooked longer, please. I am terrified of getting sick from raw wings. Well to my disappointment, they were not only cold but raw. The disgusting part is that it was the ones under the ones that were actually cooked to order. As in the raw, under cooked ones were put under the top layer, intentionally to save time? I pointed this out to our server who was working behind the bar, but did go out of her way to serve us outside on the the front patio. The server was great. She was prompt and willing to go out of her way, so we wouldn't just sit out there and be forgotten. I think her name was Nicolette.
I work for A delivery service, I can understand the restaurant being busy and the staff being short. But you also have to understand we are on a time limit and when we have to wait extra time, not only does it make our order late, but can also prevent us from getting other orders in, dropping our income for the night.So when a waitress stands there and continues to talk knowing my delivery is ready to go (because I literally saw the cook put the bag up, call her and point at me), along with other things, before bringing me my bag, it not only messes up my time, but the food is going cold and it can make my customers angry. This makes me look bad as a driver and this can affect my tips, we are trying to make a living too.
I went for lunch. I had a side salad while sitting at the bar.Paige, the bartender, was friendly and attentive. I noticed the salad did not come with onions, a must for me with a salad. Therefore, I told Paige that I loved onions and would like a good amount. The salad was quite big to be a side salad and I was impressed for only $5.99. The onions came in two side dishes which I thought at first seemed strange as there was less than an ounce on each dish. I had Iced Tea which was brewed and very good.All in all a good value for a light lunch...until I got the check. I was charged. 79 cents for onions and an additional 79 cents for extra onions. That might not sound much but it comes to a 26% overall increase in the price of the entire salad. I was not told there would be a surcharge much less told there would be two surcharges. Please note that I probably would have paid .79 but required more than they gave.So a fine lunch experience ended up souring me. It was the principle of the thing. Paige told us she was the bar manager so she knew what she was doing being there 6 years.Of course, this place is basically a copycat Hooters. They are used to people ordering alcoholic drinks, eating burgers, wings, nachos, etc which is fine. It is what I normally do.If you like Hooters, you will like the Winghouse.
The Chicken ? wrap was fine. But they got rid of the MaHe sandwich which is why I went there. No fish sandwich at all. Not in a hurry to go back.
First time here and I liked just about everything about the visit. Nichole did a good job waiting on us, made sure we were good the whole visit. Started with fried pickles that were super good, they use fairly thick pickles and most places don't. Got two sets of 10 original wings with 4 flavors (5 each). My daughter got mango habanero and medium while I opted for Nashville hour and extreme. They all had good flavor but I wish the extreme was a little hotter. We also got a basket of carrots and celery that was probably enough for 4 people. Lastly the mojito had excellent flavor all the way until the mint at the bottom of the glass. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is the music was a little loud and it did take a pretty long time for 20 wings.
So the food and service were good but if you sit there long enough and start looking around it looks bad. The floor around the bar needs to be stripped and resealed. The men's room was absolutely gross. There was spit on the wall in front of the urinal, it had a red tint like somebody ate a red hot and spit on the wall. They had a fan in the men's room trying to dry the water against the wall in front of the urinal. The floors are bad. The paint on the front doors is bad. So the point of this is if we can see this as customers what does the back of the house look like. The bar has an odor from the drains but we dealt with it. After we ate and started noticing things we were like uhm we don't really need to go back.
Food is good. Kitchen very slow.
Great food all the time ! We come here for any and every occasion. For just a bite or feast.Lindsey the bartender and Estrella the hostess with a warm smile ! Top it off with Jackie our server and it’s the perfect experience .
Despite what these reviews say below, winghouse is one of the friendliest places in town. John is one of the best managers I’ve seen. He always makes sure the girls and kitchen staff are in a good environment, safe and does his best to provide a good work space for everyone involved. Overall this place is definitely one of my go-to’s. Always has a super friendly, welcoming atmosphere and all the girls there are wonderful. I would definitely consider making this your home sports bar!
Service was fast and prompt and the staff are very nice. Outside desk on Cool days is great not to much road noise with t.v. screens positioned so you never miss a play. Food's not to bad and priced reasonably. Our waitress was attractive with the Wing House dress code. Not to much just enough can't really eat allot right now but what I was able to taste I liked. We had garlic butter wings and loaded fries. They did forget to bring one item my wife ordered other than that. Id go back.
