The food options and India on tap are two very good reasons for checking this place out. The bar staff and servers are also very quick to get you your order and go above the normal to make your time out a good one, from start to finish. The only downside is the limited parking, this place can get extremely busy but it usually doesn't overly impact the restaurant itself in terms of a wait time or service speed. Out of the two Bigs restaurants in the city, this is the go-to for sure. The mozza sticks, veggie nachos, Mexican dip, and spinach salad are all great options!

I was very happy to find this place. The food is very tasty. The wings are proper, crispy, meaty & saucy. Great atmosphere with lots of hockey memorabilia. Beer is cold and isn't flat. Great friendly people and friendly wait staff. Good place to go for some good food and enjoyable evening.

Some of the best wings I’ve had on the island. The server was able to remember 3 orders with different flavours, breaded vs. non breaded, special requests, combining sauces, dips and drinks. Really impressed. On Tuesday, it’s half price wings: 17.99 for two pounds. The wings are big and they don’t skimp on the portions. A strange obversation but the straws are amazing, not only are they plastic but they’re wide—optimal for drinking pop. Had to roll me outta there I was so full.

If you are craving for wings, this is the best place for to eat. Specially Tuesday is a discount day.. They have variety of wings and all have good taste. Environment is very good and staff member who was taking order was really funny and friendly.

My head was aching after work so I decided to head over. I can't decide whether to sit in a table or go to the bar. Andrea was very helpful in helping me decide and escorted me to the bar. Chantelle was very nice and efficient. Never missed a beat. I ordered nachos with my poutine to go. Wanted to surprise my daughter who's recovering from fever. My goodness the plate of nachos were huge! I couldn't eat them all since I just had dinner so I had to share it with a nice gentleman. My goal was to drink beer and nurse my glass until midnight, but I chickened out haha. It was snowing and I had to walk back home. Not worth the taxi cab when you can just walk for 7 minutes. The place was very welcoming. Whether you're going there with friends or having a family night it's okay. I would certainly bring my daughter there if she's hungry and craving poutine for the weekend. Would love to stay longer but with the snow, I had to leave. It was great hearing people laugh, greet each other, banter, and just plain have fun. What's great is the place has a side for those who want a quiet night. If you want to go there and just unwind go to the right wing. If you want to decompress, get energy from the people who are there to have fun, go for the left side of the bar. It will certainly drain your wallet going there frequently. But if you want to have fun and just be in a place where you can unwind, it's worth it. I would come right back in a heartbeat if I could.

Ordered takeout this evening and everything was perfect despite the restaurant being on wheels. Food was packed perfectly and everything was hot and fresh. They have the best cauliflower bites/wings in the city and my husband is hooked on the wings. The lady that took the order was also lovely:)
