Let's get into a review that came from an UberEats order! I skipped out on a few as of recent with…read moreexamples including, but not limited to, Blue Cactus Grill and Guac Time because I would like to visit those places in person before I do reviews for those. However, today's order was... let's just say it was different. It wasn't a small order either, and that's part of why I decided to make this a review day today. I had yet to really review anything in July, and a lot of my recent reviews were events. I needed a normal review, so I made this a larger order, especially since this was a scorcher today. Also, I see this only had 1 review on Yelp, which was given 5 stars. UberEats ratings I believe had a 3.7/5 from 60 people who rated their deliveries.
Today saw an 8-piece order of BBQ wings, a cheesesteak, an order of Garlic Parmesan Fries, a slice of New York Cheesecake, and 2 cans of Pepsi thanks to the aforementioned heat wave. Let's get this out of the way, this isn't getting a 5 from me today. My rating for what I had was much more in line with where this was rated on Uber. Reason? Well, nothing I had was worth giving 5 stars to. In fact, I might even go as far as to say that where I stand is a tad harsher than Uber.
Before I really get into what brought this down for me, I will begin by saying that the Cheesecake was the best food item of the day and the first (and so far only) thing I have finished that were not the Pepsis. The graham cracker bottom was on the moist side, but not too much so as to make it soggy. It was a good, harmless slice of cheesecake that I would be happy to have another slice of if it got offered to me.
The next best food I would have to say would actually be the fries. They tasted about what I would expect from deliver French fries. The parmesan does improve on the fries, but it's just another regular French fries outside that at the end of the day. Nothing spectacular, but nothing close to something that'll make me call a coroner and send me to an early grave either.
The cheesesteak was not too far off from the fries. I could taste the cheese sauce, but if there were onions in there, I didn't notice. It's not even the worst cheesesteak in the area because this hasn't made me feel queasy yet, but there are other places in this state that definitely makes better ones than what I got today. It's average. I do wish they would have cut this in half so I could have gotten a clean cross-section, and I will say the bread was not the best either. It needed the soda to wash it down.
Now we arrive at the wings, and honestly, these need to be talked about. Firstly, while nothing was really cheap so to say, it's $18 for 8 wings, making THIS the most expensive part of my entire order! Even the cheesesteak was only around $14, and the fries were about $10. Now, if the wings are any good, then I wouldn't care a whole lot about this. So when I opened my bag, what appeared before my very eyes while on my work break? Wings that weren't evenly coated throughout, and the size of what I got does not justify this costing $18. The BBQ sauce I did get was sweet and flavorful, sure, but it was barely noticeable compared to the rest of the wing. The breading was bland on its own, and that was unfortunately the most prominent thing about the wing I ate.
Based on what I had, I would say my rating averages to somewhere between a 2 and a half and a 3, so a 3 it is. The cheesecake and fries are what kept my rating from going any lower, and even the cheesesteak wouldn't really bring it down to a 2 if that were to get ordered with anything but the wings. Not something I would rush to have delivered to my work again, but go ahead and try them for yourself if you must.
