First time at All Star Wings and Ribs
The place is pretty great if you're a big sports fan as there are TVs everywhere and locked into booths as well. Located right by the Scarborough Town Centre, the restaurant is in the same plaza as the supermarket (FreshCO? I don't remember and am too lazy to look) on McCowan and Ellesmere.
First of all, the choices for wing sauces is ridiculous! I didn't count them but I would guess it's easily over 100 different combinations. The crappy part for me is that they don't give you a description of what the sauces actually are and you're forced to ask the poor waitress for any questions you may have. Being the indecisive person that I am, I found it a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, you can pretty much guess certain sauces. Caesar Does Texas and Texan Creole...gee, I wonder what those could be...
I opted for the "This is Sparta!" sauce which was chipotle BBQ wings and Tzatziki. Sounded good when I repeated it in my head, but I just wasn't a fan of the combination. The wings come coated in the Chipotle BBQ sauce but it's not mixed with the Tzatziki as the tzatziki is just poured over it. I will say that the wings without the tzatziki were actually pretty damn good. They were crispy, hot, and really juicy on the inside.
Servers are friendly with some looking pretty good. Clientele here look like a bunch of douchebags, which is fine as I'll just ignore them and focus on my football. The prices are pretty standard, and that wing selection is intense!
Why is there more grilled cheese sandwiches offered than burgers at this pub...? Not sure. And why are there a gazillion flavours of wings...? Choices, I say! I highly recommend the Jamaican jerk (4 hot peppers) - awesome heat and a bit of tang that keeps those taste buds of yours on their toes. The mehican burger was good (dining partner had) and it was a good call to ask for gravy with fries!
There are a lot of wing flavors and even the waitress didn't know what some of them were. The appetizers I shared were the jalapeño popcorn shrimp and the sweet potato fries. They were mediocre.
I ordered Nero's Epilogue which was garlic and hot sauce mixed together.
The wings were pretty good but not the best I have tasted.
I preferred the honey garlic wings my sister ordered.
