Monday Madness – WINGS

4/20/26- Wings

Monday Madness – you get 50% off Well Drinks, House Wines, Beer & Beverages & All you can eat buffets. Q-tips say: Yes, go if you like Monday Madness.

Best part of the evening was socializing with neighbors, Diane & Nancy, from the hood.

Had our usual libations: Old Fashion, Perfect Manhattan & A Cosmo & glass of wine.

Wing Madness is our favorite. Several types of wings & various salads & sauces to choose from.

Several options for salads: Reg/just plain lettuce/tomatoes/bowtie & potato salads. Meat Options for sandwiches: Ham/turkey/thin. Many bread choices but bread slices way too thick. Many people just put the meat on the plate minus the bread.

Slider Madness: Was just ok. Meat optionscheese /toppings & a salad bar.

However, NO MORE, melted cheese, Queso.

Meatball & MORE Madness: 3 different sauces to enjoy your meatballs & salad & salad toppings with various side dishes as, potato salad/pasta.

Build you own Taco Salad was:

OK- Various Meat to build your tacos – Turkey/Ham/Beef with soft shell tacos & Chips. Various toppings & salad choices.

Subs & More – was ok. Did not eat all the bread just ate the meat & various salads.

We will stick with Wings & Slider Madness. Perhaps Pasta Night. Subs & More Madness was just so so – way too much bread.

Slider Madness: Was ok. Many meat options/cheese sauce/toppings & a salad bar.

Mrs. Q had: Taco/Nacho Madness. ok

The Q-tips say: Munchie Madness was nothing special. Everything was breaded & fried. Because of the breading, & no signs posting what it is, was difficult to know was in the pot. We had our usual Libations. Ordered off the Reg. Menu instead MUNCHIE MADNESS.

Pizza Madness?? ?Maybe. Taco madness? ??The meat- beef/chicken was good but many just piled the food on the dishes instead of tacos.

Cannot order from the regular menu anymore on Monday Madness.
