I found The Wing Spot on Yelp. On Saturday, I decided to have lunch here after running some errands…read morein Ajax. Where there are wings, there's me.
The Wing Spot is next door to Sunset Grill. I love Sunset Grill. For a brief second, I had thought about going right. Instead, I stuck to my gameplan and went left.
The place was empty just before 2 pm. I decided to dine in. There were plenty of booths and NCAA basketball games were on all TVs.
My server was great, but perhaps too chatty. He told me that they were short-staffed and that he was working extra hours. Um, okay.
I got a menu and took a look. I went with the single deal, which is a pound of wings (you choose one flavour only), with fries and veggies, and a can of pop. I didn't see the fries and veggies part until my server let me know. So, his chattiness did help. He also let me know that this place has been open since December 2018.
I asked for gravy for the fries. It was going for $2. I was game. I also went with garlic explosion for my wings.
I got my food pretty fast. He also came back with napkins and cutlery, as they were missing at the table.
The wings were hot, crispy, and packed with flavour. I loved the garlic explosion so much that I ended up dipping my fries in the gravy, and then rolling them in what was left of the garlic explosion mix in my basket. So good!
The gravy was delicious! It came piping hot and made regular fries a ton better. The veggies consisted of one carrot stick and one celery stick. If you are looking for a serving of veggies, you aren't getting them here. It came with ranch dressing, which was good.
The garlic flavour lingered in my mouth for nearly two hours. It's a good sign of deliciousness for me. Sure, you will die if I breath on you, but that's a risk that you may need to take.
The server had obviously worked more hours than he should have. He let me know that he was leaving and apologized for perhaps looking unprofessional. I completely understood and his heart was in the right place.
The downside was the pass-off between this server, the guy in the kitchen, and the new guy taking over serving duties. I heard my server talk to the kitchen guy that I was in the dining area. The kitchen guy didn't tell the new guy. So, I didn't get any service. Instead, I went up to the counter and asked for my bill.
I don't blame the new server taking over. He didn't know. There needs to be better communication between staff members, so that customers are not left hanging.
This place accepts debit and credit cards, and cash. I paid with a debit card.
The washroom is unisex. There is only one. It was clean and spacious. There were tons of hooks to hang up your jacket or purse, which I appreciated.
I felt comfortable eating here. There were lots of games to watch and the booth was roomy.
I'd come back here again. There were many folks ordering takeout. I may just do the same where I am in town again, likely giving Sunset Grill a visit.
