The bar side is to the left when you walk in and restaurant side is on the right. The menu isn't big and everything seems like it's crafted in a specific way. We've done dessert here and appetizers. The pistachio cream pie was amazing and the crust to pie ratio was my favorite. The dirty fries with cheese sauce and fresh herbs are absolutely divine. Service here is really good, I find them to be friendly and helpful if you ask any menu questions. The downside to here is the price. A lot of the cocktails average 16 dollars so when you are paying almost 20 dollars for a small drink and expensive food, it adds up quick.

It's busy, there's plenty of seating. It's fairly clean. For food I ordered the Hot mess chicken sandwich, my husband ordered the jam burger. My friend got the burger salad and her husband the wings. I also ordered a beer flight and my friend the boozy soda flight. The beers were mid, the boozy sodas weren't even cold, and they were way too sweet. I could taste the dyes. My sandwich was not good. The chicken tasted like it was from smart and final mopped with sauce. The fries were decent, but not what I was expecting since this place prides itself on "homemade" foods. My husband's burger tasted like reheated beef. It was overdone. Very much a let down. The burger salad. My friend picked through and it wasn't even like what you would think for a burger salad. The wings, I consider my friends husband an expert at trying these..he said they tasted like from a bag and fried. Not very good at all. I was gravely disappointed in the quality of the food and drinks. I was so looking forward to coming back, but likely I will not be returning. The staff was friendly, very kind and upbeat. But, that's not enough for me to patronize an establishment. I just expected a lot more effort in the food since I always see how they advertise themselves on IG and FB.

Anyways, for gas station fried chicken it was delicious. I went with the 2 item combo and then added a side of fries (seasoned wedges) which all came out to $8.71. Not bad for the two giant pieces of chicken I received, along with a biscuit. The wedges seemed to have been sitting for awhile (nothing my air fryer can't fix) but tasted good anyways.

I've always loved Epic Wings because they have the best wings, but unfortunately, my recent visit was ruined by the horrible customer service. After placing a small order, I waited nearly 30 minutes, even though the restaurant was almost empty. Despite being patient, I eventually asked the cashier, Travis, if my order was ready, and instead of a simple response, he rolled his eyes at me. His disrespectful attitude was unprofessional and completely uncalled for. It's frustrating to enjoy great food but have the experience ruined by rude service at the front. Great food should be matched with great service, and unfortunately, that wasn't the case this time. I hope management addresses this issue because l'd love to keep coming back for the wings-just without the bad attitude at the register. read more

(Not an actual review) I went here on the 6th of August on a Saturday, and I saw this beautiful lady. Working here and I just can't stop thinking about her, she has red dyed hair, with eyeliner, she was short so she had to tippy toe to reach the food, and she had a beautiful smoothing voice. When I saw her I just fell in love with her, I tried my best to get the courage to go up and talk to her, but my dumb head was too scared. Soo here I am now writing a yelp at the place I saw this lady work at. This shii so corny Istg read more

It was really disappointing, especially considering how expensive Wingstop has gotten. When a Mediterranean restaurant is doing wings better than a place that specializes in them, that's a problem.

I'm often here on Tuesday nights before a discount movie across the way. This meal is my go-to. A cheeseburger combo, but change the fries for the fried zucchini. In my opinion, this is the best fried zucchini around. I know no one can seem to agree on this, but I really don't know how anyone could disagree. They come out HOTTT, juicy, perfectly salty, and with a massive cup of ranch for dipping (and cooling!). The burger itself is like most other mom and pop burger stands around (George's, Lucky Greek, Niko's Burgers), but I'd still say this one is consistently better. It's always my favorite with the perfect ratio of meat, cheese, veggies, and sauce. They still trust you enough to have the soda fountain self service which is also a plus. More and more places are putting it behind the counter. Lastly I'll add that I love the 50's vibe inside and well working A/C! It's a little small inside, but like I mentioned above the outside seating at Riverside Plaza is already so great.

The manager was a great help in deciding portions, items, and sides for my preferred taste and amount needed. He was not trying to upsell, just being helpful - which I appreciated. Interior design of the restaurant matched the style they were going for. Layout was great for a nice game day match. HUGE TV's everywhere. Great layout plan.
