Recommended by a local, it was really good. Wings were plump and had a lot of flavor. Service was great. Only negative was the odd taste of the water/ice.
Don't judge a book by its cover. Best wings I've had in town. Nice and crispy!! Stop by to wet your whistle and get some wings and play some pool
The food was great. I ordered the fried pickles and my friends ordered the jalapeno poppers for our appetizers. I had the chicken tenders and they had the wings . Absolutely delicious . The drinks were very tasty too. We sat inside then moved to the deck so my friend could smoke. Very friendly people who work there. I highly recommend to visit here and enjoy,even if you don't eat you can still have a good time. And it's a very clean place as well
This place is a nice hidden gem in Fort Walton Beach! The service is phenomenal and the food is good for bar food. I had came here because everything else was closed and I was looking for some food. The bartenders are sweet and prompt. The atmosphere is nice. A lot of TVs so you can watch a sports game no matter where you sit. They have pool tables in the back. Nice set up.
Here in business, this place was recommended as thee best wings in town/ever. I travel alot, so tried it out. This place is hide. and can be missed. Its a sports bar, patio outside is welcomint, inside is totally different. Its a sports bar, pool tables, high chairs and dark. not for kids to come visit. Bar tender was nice (ok). Wings (Honey Garlic) and the wings are what the ppl has said it was. Fried just right (not dry/hard cook), just right, the sauce was just right, not smoother/poured like some places do, it was the right amount of sauce to finger lic your fingers. was impressed. They have a spice garlic (not on menu) was told by cook, so might try it next time. Place is for adults, not for kids
Wings were good for me wife was hoping for lemon pepper flavor the mediums are a little close to hot and mild is more like medium curly fries and beer all good thanks
