Big City Wings

Big City Wings has taken over the space in Spring Town Center where Buffalo Wild Wings used to be.  I tried it for lunch on a Saturday when it was modestly busy.  I was greeted politely and seated promptly, but things got off to a rough start as I was seated underneath a really strong vent blowing cool air.  It was cold outside that day so this really didn't work.  I was moved with no issue.  I noted that just a minute later another couple was seated there, and within a few minutes they moved also.

I ordered a wing basket with tater tots and a drink--no Coke products, so a root beer for me.  I like having tater tots for an option, they are hard to mess up and always tasty.  You can split the wing basket--I ordered some mild original, and some medium honey BBQ.  As noted elsewhere, the Original is not buffalo wings, it's a plain butter sauce.  I don't believe they offer Buffalo style.  The wings were big, and nicely crisp on the outside, but maybe just a bit dry.  The honey bbq sauce was mostly just sweet, and I detected no spiciness.  The presentation was good--the two wing flavors were separated by the tots.  Overall the wings were just OK.

I went for the fried oreos for dessert.  They are nicely presented as a real dessert, with chocolate sauce and just a little powdered sugar drizzled on, served with ice cream.  Easily shareable and definitely more than a novelty, they are very good.

Service was polite and very attentive, almost overly so but much better than being ignored.  The decor inside is pretty much wall to wall TVs, I'm not sure I've ever seen that many in the same space.  The bathroom was clean and ready.  Overall I'd probably go back, but watch for the blowing menus and order something besides wings (they offer many different dishes).
