My review for BrewWings has been long overdue. It was only a few months ago when I had my first encounter with the bright orange food truck that was parked near my work. The name made me think there was going to be brewskies (beer) and wings, but I re-thought, well that couldn't be right to serve alcohol from a food truck at work? Haha... but they do have root beer and cold brewed coffee! I am usually not one to turn down the chance to try hot wings so of course I had to place an order! The guys are really nice and easy to talk to. I've probably spoke to three different people, not including the owner, Stefano. During my most recent visit, Tom remembered who I was -- "Weren't you the girl who said you would write a Yelp! review for a free wing, but never did?" Ouch! That was embarrassing, but I truly was going to write a review after confirming the owner's name b/c I wanted to say that it was a cool experience to actually meet the man behind the dream that has now become a reality. Hearing his story was inspiring and made me think (as I often do), what am I doing with my life?
I digress...
I love the way the wings smell once your order is ready to be picked up. They're always hot and they have always tasted so delicious! Some parts are even crispy which I love and there hasn't been a time where I couldn't finish a wing b/c they are that yummy. The tater tots are also nicely made -- light, golden, and crisp -- doesn't feel soggy or cooked with tons of oil. ** If you decide to order wings, there has been the option to get the wings tossed or to have the sauce on the side. I recommend getting them tossed b/c they cover the wings more thoroughly than you would be able to w/ just one side of sauce.
What I Order & Love:
- Half order of 6 wings (comes w/ celery & carrots & your choice of ranch or blue cheese dipping sauce)
- Side of tater tots
*Check-In on Yelp! and they have a deal for 1 free wing (if you get a pop-up saying you're too far away to check-in, show them your phone -- they will still honor the free wing).
What my Co-Worker has Ordered & Loved:
- Half order of 4 chicken tenders **I remember these guys! They were crisp and golden brown, large pieces of chicken. You could tell that these were made fresh.
- Combo Snack Pack **A great option for someone who wants both a main and a side, but doesn't want to spend a lot or eat too many wings. This is your choice of either wings or tenders complete with tots or fries!
- Kickin' Chicken Waff-Wich **Off the menu special! This was something Stefano had recommended for us to try next time. Its really called a Waff-Wich, but she ordered it w/ their Kickin' Chicken without the jalepeno (b/c she doesn't like her food to be super spicy). You're able to choose any of the types of filling under their Sandwich section. She said the sandwich was really good... that everything she's tried has been really good.
Hopefully Stefano & the Team will have a chance to look into why the pop-up for the check-in keeps coming up as too far when the truck is right in front of us. I think it might have to do w/ whatever address is or is not entered for the business.
And THANK YOU for that free extra wing on top of the wing I received for the check-in! Yes, I ate 8 whole wings plus a side of tots. You've made me feel so special today. :] I am still full from lunch, lol... until next time! read more
