I love pub wings, especially during its specials. However, the cheap Buddha Girl is still living in the old days where wings special was only five or ten-cents each. I honestly couldn't believe how expensive the wings are nowadays. WTF? Forty-cents each? Fifty-cents each? Yup, I rather live in the past...
I've been to Shang Noodle House 尚麵館 and Kirin Seafood Restaurant 麒麟海鮮酒家 a good number of times, but Schanks Sports Grill never really caught my attention. When Buddha Boy suggested it, it took me a while to clue in where it was.
We had a total of forty wings. The wings were, before sauces, nicely deep-fried with a crispy coat. Now, on to the flavors. We couldn't detect much honey or garlic in the Honey Garlic Wings (above, top left). The Hot Wings (above, top right) were standard. The Sweet Chili Wings (above, bottom left) were wings tossed in, well, as the name suggests, sweet chili sauce. The Teriyaki Wings (above, bottom right) were too salty. All sauces tasted very commercial.
On top of the wings, we also ordered a BBQ Chicken Pizza. Ample amounts of grilled barbeque chicken breast, bell peppers, onions, mozzarella cheese, cilantro and barbeque sauce. The dough was thick yet light, and was done nicely with a crispy and crunchy bottom. This 12" pizza was surprisingly delicious.
With no prior knowledge, we visited on the night where BC Hydro was having their Christmas party. Most of the sections were reserved except with the corner where the pool tables were. Unfortunately, even with that small section open to the public, majority of the BC Hydro staff hogged the games area and limited public enjoyment. Nothing the pub can do, in fact, even with the busy night, we still received good service. Perhaps the party organizers can better educate their employees.
