"stopped in here on the way to Koziar’s. read about how good the wings are and I was not disappointed. some of the best i’ve ever had - smoky, tender, crispy- SOLID!! nice staff and people inside were cool too."

"Wings and food used to be good. Just spent $50 on 3 dz wings that went in the trash. They were terrible, extremely dried out, barely any sauce on them, the sauces/rubs tasted nothing like the description. No blue cheese, ranch or celery came with the wings, how pathetically cheap."

"2 stars only because i think the OTHER PEOPLE in my party enjoyed their food (wings)... Been here several times. I don't eat wings, so can't vouch for what is SUPPOSED TO BE what sets them apart from other bar/ restaurants in the area. Any time I've gone (maybe three times in the past two years), their other food items have been awful. *First time - had a cheese steak. Very dry, bland, roll tasted old and dry. French fries not very good quality/ taste. Sandwich had no flavor... *Second time - had crab cakes and fries. Crab cakes okay, but got a piece of shell halfway through, so stopped eating them... *Third time (just recently/ last week)- tried crab cakes again (benefit of the doubt) and got shell with the very first bite. Then more shell with second bite, then AGAIN with third bite!?! I gave up and ate just the fries which tasted better this time, but were extremely/ overly salty. Waitress wasn't very attentive during our meal even though they weren't busy. She did remove the crab cakes from the bill when we complained about them, so I just added that cost to the tip for her. I won't go back, even with my "wing-eaters". Unless you eat wings, it isn't worth the trip. This last trip though, noone even ate their wings and took them home in a "to go" box, so I'm not even too sure about that much. We went right about dinner time on a Saturday (just in case the timing makes any difference)?"

"I've done a lot of looking for good wings in Berks, and this is the best place for them by far. They smoke the wings before frying them—most places bake them if they even do that—and it makes all the difference. I'll be back to try all the sauces, and I recommend everybody do the same. The service was very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is very pleasant to. You're missing out if you don't give this place a try."
