I have had Buffalo Wild Wings and they\'re pretty disappointing--even if you walk in with low expectations.  Reminds me of the old Wendy\'s "Where\'s the Beef?"  commercials.  "Parts is Parts."

Haven\'t been to the Hangar, but has anyone been to the Landing Zone Grille in Harwinton?  I\'ve only been there once, but man, their wings are outrageous.  There are quite a few selections on the menu, and we asked the waitress about the 9-1-1 wings, she says "You want the medium."  We asked a couple other questions--some varieties require that you sign a waiver.  She says, "You want the medium."  We went with here recommendation, and they were still hotter than anything BWW could dish up.  Tasty, too!  The menu is like 20 pages long, with other cajun specialties, like alligator.  Cool place.  Worth the drive to the middle of nowhere.

Been wanting to go there for quite a while, I really need to do it. Anyone up for a .info field trip to Harwinton?
That and I have got to get to The Hangar.

only made it down for the second set, but the journey from toad\'s to wild wings was well worth it. definitely an odd place to see tim play. i didn\'t try any of the wings but managed to take full advantage of the $1 beers for as long as they were willing to serve me and gencs.

\'women and children first\'? is that a song i\'m not aware of or could it be idioteque by radiohead?


it\'s Could This Be Magic? by Van Halen.


i knew it was one of the two names, I took a guess. oh well.

fun time before dinosaur jr, and the unexpected reprise afterwards. great to have a lot of "our people" in the crowd, but to say that this was a WEIRD place to see tim would be an enormous understatement. extremely bright, TVs *everywhere*... just weird.

stublatt was absolutely hilarious when he walked in, walked up to me, and before even saying hi, says, "WELL THIS PLACE SUCKS!". :lol:

and since al z asked about the wings in the other thread, and whether or not they compare to The Hangar... PFFFFFFT!!!!!! yeah fucking right. the two places shouldn\'t even be mentioned in the same thread. i ordered some boneless "wings" to see what they were all about.. :thumbsdow i don\'t know how they could even call them wings. they were barely nuggets, and were about 80% fry, 20% chicken. maybe my expectations were a little too high considering this is a chain, but ick. should have eaten ahead of time.


How is this a successful chain?  That was the worst food I ever had in restaurant.  High school cafeteria quality.  Not to mention it made me sick.  I NEVER get sick from eating, but this slop got me.  It makes Hooters look like fine dining. Dispicable.

That said I enjoyed the $1 beers, and TT on a friday made for a sloppy good time.  If Tim books again, I\'ll go, I just won\'t eat there.

yea, the wings were pretty average/crappy. maybe I was just really hungry the one other time I had them. :lol:

It was like eating at the food court at the mall.

It used to *be* the food court at the mall!  Actually, I think it\'s the same space as the old Burger King--or is that where Starbucks is?  The food court in the Chapel Square Mall was upstairs at the other end of the building by the walkway to Macy\'s--anyone remember Orange Julius?--before the food court was moved to the Chapel Street side.

and the fact that they were willing to serve gencs just goes to show what an upstanding place it was...because i am still nervous that i havent heard from him....bad food....yucko...but always fun times with mr tpalms
maybe the sun will shine today...
the clouds will roll away..
maybe i wont be so afraid..
i will understand that everything has its plan...
either way...

Didn\'t get involved with the food, but gotta admit it was awesome hanging out in the open air patio area, with Timmy sounds filling the air, and XL hi def screens of Red Sox, Yanks, Mets and UConn football all at once!!

There was a BWW in Longmont, CO where I worked, and would go there after work for beers. I really couldn\'t complain about the food there, maybe this particular BWW you guys were at just sucks.

Or maybe I like crappy food.
i think it\'s turning back on me / i\'m down on the upside
