This pace is why I love Buffalo Wings, and I am pleased to say the haven't lost a step. In fact, the newer "Volcano" level flavor is better than classic recipe. I got my wings as a dinner with fries and baked beans as sides. Those beans are fire! They have a little kick and seasoned in a way that surpasses the older sweet and Smokey style that's come to b well known.

Not too spicy and the rub sticks to the wings really well. I have give them two thumbs up and a twist for their broccoli too - I rarely eat fries, so I tried their garlic broccoli - yummy, garlicky, flavorful and tender. Tons of beer and variety of mixed drinks are available. Weekly specials and you can dine in or eat out. Music playing in the background is soft but upbeat. My waitress Jessica was nice and always smiled (Jessica you rock and remember "you gotta let that shit go" - from my shirt that I was wearing).

We had a group of six people and ordered a variety of foods. I can't honestly comment on everyone else's food. I ordered a hamburger and was very disappointed. It looked like something that came from the Walmart freezer section and it was very dry and tasteless. Also, we had some issues with our server. She was very sensitive to some of my companions, comments and questions. I think overall none of us will return. It's unfortunate as the trivia was good and the atmosphere was nice. Just the service and my food was not acceptable. We did notify the manager of this. She however, did not respond in a very Customer friendly way. I hope they can correct these issues for future customers.

The Crab Stop of Vero Beach

*INITIAL REVIEW*…read more Today, my family and I celebrated Mother's Day given the fact one of my sisters and I would be too busy to celebrate it on the actual day. Ergo, we made a trip down to Vero Beach and had fun at both McKee Botanical Gardens and the Vero Beach Museum of Art (VBMA), both which got stellar reviews by me in the past. In between both locales, we were hungry and needed to eat someplace local. I had some suggestions, but my mom was in the mood for seafood. As a suggestion from reviews, The Crab Stop of Vero Beach was ultimately decided upon. I have to say, I am happy this restaurant was suggested because it is very good. Even though an address is provided, The Crab Spot of Vero Beach (which I will shorthand simply to Crab Spot for the remainder of this review) is located on the southside of the entryway into Royal Palm Place, one of the many extensions leading out into the water near US-1, but this one is known for the Royal Palm Park at the end. Initial display, decor, and ambiance has the stereotypical local dive bar look with elements showcasing they specialize in seafood, and the little bits of rustic flaws adds a bit of character for what they are. I would not expect such a look for a high-end restaurant, but this works for a local place on the river. The chairs squeeked, the table wobbled a bit in which the waitress fixed with some coasters, and the plates were chipped. No problem at all. There was even outdoor seating in the back bar-style which gives you a nice view of the canal that leads to the river. It was high sun, so we opted for the air conditioning. Now we move on to the food. I have to say that the majority of our food was really good, and when you adjusted to what you are eating, it was top-notch. Key word, however, is the "majority." The good: the hush puppies basket as you get 10 hush puppies that are lightly-seasoned with 1000 island sauce. If you eat one, it is probable you might think it is light on seasoning. However, they are small and finishing all 10 won't be a problem. The flavor builds with each hush puppy, which was smartly done compared to what most seafood places do: give you like two to five hush puppies of large size and high flavoring. The wings, however, used a hot sauce that was mostly vinegar. This ruined the wings for me, and if my stepdad ordered 20, he'd be eating the majority of them. Everything else was top-notch and delicious. Altogether, my family ordered the Fish and Chips, Mahi Sandwich, Fried Catfish Sandwich, Sea Scallop Snack Pack, and the Crab Cake Dinner. Details for each dish in the pictures. On a sidenote, the restroom was okay as in clean and stocked, but not the best-looking restroom I seen. Maybe the "character" could have not be extended to the restroom. Ultimately, I am giving Crab Stop four out of five stars. I do enjoy a good "mom n' pop" place as I prefer to support local and small, but since this is the only time I went, I can't justify a five-star rating until they prove to be consistent. I will be back as there is another park just south of this business that has geocaches that need to be found AND I may also try to hide a traditional letterbox here. But take note for a local seafood stop, this place is good to go.

Crispy-yet-chewy crust, great char around the edges, balanced toppings, and the pineapple actually tasted fresh. Bonus points because the slices held together instead of collapsing into a greasy mess halfway through eating them.

Try your best not to patronize the one in Vero Beach, FL. The customer service SUCKS!!! The workers are rude, nasty, and ghetto. They don't practice COVID-19 guidelines, no mask, no hairnets, or gloves. The dining area is not clean, including the bathrooms. They even allow panhandlers and homeless people to hang around the door as you enter and exit begging customers for food and money. read more

Award winning seriously - seeing whatever formula they use and they are quick . Team minutes or less your food is prepared. Location wise - you are smack dab in the hood. If you aren't from around there, only advise going during daylight hours. There has been countless shootings that have occurred on site here ('a majority have been "after the club) however it gets ratchet real quick. An occasional crackhead or 2 asking for a dollar is normal. Lastly health inspection wise - yeahhh given their track history really surprised the DOH hasn't shut them down indefinitely . Last time I visited the DOH was on site and actually closed them for the day. One of the kitchen workers I seen sitting across the street- excited through the back door (9/10 illegal status) as the health department worker was on site. So understand yes the food is on point but if you look at their health department reports online, they kitchen is objectively fine provoking nasty!!

The BBQ pork was nothing like what I've had there before -- instead of the usual mix of chunks and slices, it was shredded like someone scraped the bottom of the pan before refilling it. The spicy bourbon chicken was even worse: there was literally zero chicken in the container. It was all vegetables, which tells me whoever prepared the order didn't care at all about what they were serving. The fried rice was the only thing that came out right, but that's not enough to make up for the rest. When a restaurant treats takeout customers like this, it's hard to feel anything but taken advantage of. They simply didn't care, and it showed. I won't be going back.

Anyway, we had our dog and couldn't bring him into the outdoor turfed area or the wrap around porch. So that sucked, and we had to take the food to go. Then the food. Well it's Texas BBQ but they don't sell brisket by the pound. When I asked about brisket, the cashier seemed confused, and then told me that they have brisket but they just "put it on stuff". Additionally, there was no sausage on the menu. So weird, for TX BBQ spot not to have either sausage or brisket. I've never gone to a Texas BBQ spot and only gotten ribs as my protein choice. BTW, the ribs were delicious and the charro beans were also tasty. I loved this place when it was in the original location, it was intimate, it was cozy and seemed so much more like a family run place. There were more bbq options and the overall bbq experience was much better then. I'm sorry to leave a negative review, but it's honest. I wish this business best, but this BBQ eating family is out.

I would have gotten one this visit except their special of the day was a blueberry buttermilk bread pudding. So, I couldn't turn that treat down. I ended up grabbing 3 of those one for myself, my mom and my sister. I got the egg/cheese/homemade sausage biscuit with cheddar cheese and my egg scrambled. I grabbed 2 extra biscuits for the road and my cost paying with cash (4% discount) was almost $25. Not bad in my opinion at all. The food was as expected, flavorful, fresh, and worth every single calorie. I inhaled the bread pudding and couldn't finish my huge biscuit sandwich so I took it to go. My mom got the biscuit sandwich with ham and my sister got the breakfast burrito. All of the food was heavenly. Will definitely be back more than I expected. Keep up the stellar work and keep the ingredients fresh and clean and I'll be a long time/long distance customer. Great job!!
