    I was told this place had the best wings in Milwaukee.  I still dont think they beat Points East, but they're solidly good, and unlike Points East, you have a variety of flavors and can get them to go.

    I tried myriad flavor sauces, but when they came out, they werent labeled, so I have no idea which were which.  All I can tell you is that I liked some more than others.  Sometimes I prefer dry seasoned wings, as sauced wings are too wet.  Here they do it perfectly-- fry them, sauce them, then grill them, so they're not soggy.  

    They have various specials and I just happened to arrive on Wing Day.  The server was very kind and helped me get the most food for my money.  That kind of service goes a long way and contributed to my star waiting.

    Atmosphere wise, it's basically a dive bar.  Clean, dark, low ceiling, no frills, some serious drinkers.

    I'm told they do shuttles to the games.  Personally I'm just here for the chicken.

    We decided to give this a try as we heard the fish fry was good, also intriguing that it as a bit off the beaten path.  Well, we got there to find a sign that read "no fish fry", what are the odds of that? We were hungry and stayed anyway.  Not busy ( probably because of no fish fry), but a nice welcome from the bartender.  He explained that the main cook was on vacation and the back up was sick, so they did not think they could deliver the quality without those two, actually a respectable explanation.  The vibe was casual and friendly, beers were cold and order taken promptly. My husband loved his sandwich, turkey, bacon, cheese, perfectly grilled, hot crispy tater tots.  I opted for a burger, good, but past the temp I requested and bacon a bit undercooked. Still we will come back at some point to try that fish fry.

    We decided to end our 2019 with some delicious wings! We tried quite a few flavors such as blueberry bbq, 4b, citrus chipotle, bleu buffalo, and chili lime. The 4b was by far our favorite! The wings were great! Not too much sauce, fried then grilled with a lot of flavor. The chive fries were also a great side. Everything is a la carte so dressing and veggies are extra. The only thing that was a negative is that their board stated domestic drafts were $1.75 on Mondays, and I still got charged the full amount for my Miller lite. It was only $1.25 more so it's nbd, but not in line with what was advertised. We're looking forward to trying the rest of their flavors, they have an expansive menu

    Good Local eatery!
    Good variety of items on menu. Ordering Service was prompt. Food service was a bit slow for the light crowd. Beer selection a little light but reasonably priced. The music was great! Wings were pretty good and so were the tots. This is a good place to go if you're nearby. I have no regrets, neither will you.

    The wings are my favorite on earth. Uranus, that's a different story. The sauces are homemade and all very unique. They first fry the wings, then sauce them before finishing them on the grill. This leads to tasty char bois. Homemade ranch and blue cheese also help compliment the wings without overpowering.

    Something also to think about, they have a FREE yes, free shuttle for all local sporting events and concerts. This means no you don't need to buy a stupid ticket or wristband. But c'mon, their drinks are affordable.
    Go Bucks!
