What Andy K doesn't like about Road Soda On Maple In Blinding Rain:
I've dined in here many times and the food was very good. I ordered take out for the first time and was highly disappointed. The pretzel was almost burnt the grilled wings seemed like they were made yesterday and warmed up. Dry dry dry. What a shame. View all feedback.
We came here for some pub fare on a week night. Despite driving past this place for years I don't think I had ever eaten here! The gigantic 3 corner pretzel with three flavor rubs (honey mustard, roasted garlic and bacon cheddar) and three sauces (Parmesan garlic, Sriracha hot honey and jalapeno cheddar) was enormous, served up on a pizza peel, and delicious! Given my druthers, I would have eaten an entire one with the garlic seasoning and Parmesan sauce. For dinner I had a bowl of baked potato soup, which was quite tasty, and also hot! So often soups seem to come just lukewarm in restaurants. My partner got the wings, which are sizeable and can be made in different flavors. For a sports bar, it was surprisingly quiet (the TV volumes also were not blaring). Our waiter was competent and quick, taking care of everything efficiently. Also, when I pointed out a puddle of water outside the ladies' room that I skidded on to a staff member, they were proactive and wiped it up quickly; much appreciated. Overall, a good place for wings and other pubby comfort fare.
Gotta say, I have driven past this place a million times. Just took a coworker to tell me their boys loved their wings to finally check it out. We came on a Sunday around noon. Walked in and grabbed a table. Took a few minutes to get service but when we did we couldn't believe how fast everything came out. In fact. It was faster than I think any restaurant we've ever been to. Ordered chips+guacamole, and 20 wings- 2 rubs for 3 people to start with. The guacamole was nice and fresh and came with a green tomatillo type salsa as well. For the wings: I did not eat them but my family gobbled them. They charge for the rub, sauce. It's pretty clear in the menu but we were a little confused when ordering. It's $14 for 10 wings and they ordered them breaded. They were a hit because not even one was left. I'm going to take advantage of 1/2 price Thursdays for wings and carry out sometime. The reviews were stellar from the wings eaters. I got the fish tacos. Breaded cod and they give you 4. Way more than most places. The breading in the cod was light and airy. Perfect really. I will omit the sauce next time. It was more like a sour cream topping. Maybe ask for honey mustard or something else. I would get those again and in fact Fridays they have a fish fry. So I'd get that in a snap too. My family loved their food. Keep in mind this place is not fancy. It's a sports bar so if you are looking for fancy, just order takeout.
I used to really love this place because of the size and quality of the wings. It has been awhile since I was last here but I heard that the wings have changed. They're no longer those huge, succulent wings that would fill you up without any appetizers. They have an 18 pretzel that is good for sharing. Quality was decent. I'll post some pictures of the wings that I had before they changed the vendors. Service was always meh, nothing great. If you do go, make sure you check the bill prior to paying. I believe they add on some extra charges that they didn't do in the past including a 25% tip. I don't even tip 25% at fine dining restaurants. The parking lot can get full and what sucks around this area is that you can't park in another empty parking lot after hours. Don't park in that lot behind the restaurant, otherwise you'll have some shady people put a boot on your car. I made the mistake once and some people came out from behind the bushes. They'll charge you $125 to take the boot off. When I stated there was no sign that said no parking. They pointed at a sign that was hidden from view.
This is my go to place for wings especially on a Thursday when it's half price. Quality- the wings here are a step above Buffalo Wild Wings. The sauces I prefer are the chipotle mango and honey sriracha. They are generally not dry and seasoned well if you get the dry rubs too. The naked wings on their own lack a bit of flavor but are still good wings. You can't compared these to Korean wings from choong man or bon chon since these are made pretty quickly but they are better than wing stop, Popeyes wings, or b dubs. Quantity- these wings are quite large. Getting 10 wings with a side on Thursday's make it worth it. I usually get like 40 wings those days and it is totally worth it to share. I wouldn't say it's worth it on the other days. 17 bucks for 10 wings and then you add in tax/tip is quite steep. Atmosphere- I like the outdoor seating the most here. The bar atmosphere inside can be a bit loud and crowded during lunch time but it is ok after prime food times. Service- good service here. No complaints.
