My girlfriend and I come 3.5 hours each way to vacation at lbi and always make sure that we stop here on the way home. Today was our last day and we were headed right home afterwards. I went to eat Breaskfeast at 11:30 am this morning, I had to wait about 5-10 minutes and then I receive the text that a table is ready. The second I sit down I start getting splashed and dripped on with water like I was at the rainforest cafe. I complained to the waitress and she puts another towel under the leaky air conditioner unit. I order food trying to make my girlfriend happy because she enjoys eating there. At this point my whole bench, backpack, hat, and drinks are getting water splashed very fast on them. The food came and I asked the man that brought the food to bring me a tall glass. He brings a pitcher and I put it under the water but am still getting very wet. He apologizes. The pitcher had about 3" of water in it in the first 5 minutes, it was coming down very fast. I cant finish my food because of how wet it became. At this point all the surrounding guests were looking at how I was getting splashed and the wall and pictures were all beyond soaked. My girlfriend got her food to go and I asked for the manager(man in 40s with green bandana). When I politely complained, He told me "Id like to complain to my ac guy and my plumber as well" he then continued to make fun of me saying I was complaining because I got "splashed on alittle;" such a well know place should have better customer service. After mocking me to his coworkers he agrees to give me a "discount." The bill was $25(not including tip), my food that was ruined was $10, he took $3 off. To make the bill $22. Seriously!? The people they sat at the booth right after us wouldnt even sit down because of how badly soaked it was. Our meal should have been free. Never going to this place again. My girlfriend has been coming for 15 years. Never again. If you want quality food and service try Freds dinner.

A bit overhyped. Had to make reservations way ahead of time for food that wasnt really that special. I got the Cheese steak nachos and the ludicrous wings. First of all, the nachos were almost cold when they arrived. In addition the "cheese steak" beef they put in the nachos didnt even taste like anything. However, I did like how they put nice and juicy cuts of raw red onions in the nachos. It just seemed like I could make the nachos at home with some tortilla chips because the chips tasted like they came out of a chip bag. As for the ludicrous wings, theyre insanely spicy as the name suggests. But its just not worth getting because it doesnt taste good and its not worth getting your whole mouth numb or getting your throat enflamed. If you want to try the ludicrous wings, just try it once and I recommend that if youre not a huge major fan of the wings, just never get it again. This was the second time I got it out of the thinking that this was a special item that I couldnt get it anywhere else, but it was harder to eat because it just wasnt exciting anymore and my mouth just suffered. The waiter even tried talking us out of it. The reason why Im saying this place is overhyped is because there will be lines out the door and tons of reservations made but the food I got was mediocre and didnt taste like the hype. Fries were also bland and probably frozen before, and wings were also soggy. The wing sauces werent anything special either. I must say though, the workers were very nice.

Came for lunch on a Wednesday, on a day where there was some rain in the morning. We expected a bit of a wait, but got worse than we expected. Our party of 5 was told there would be a 40 minute wait. After 45 minutes, we noticed a few groups that got there after us were being brought in, even when they were a similar size. One group was the same size, but were attractive younger girls, and they were seated after maybe a 10-minute wait, which wasnt too fair. We ended up getting called after just over an hour, 25 minutes longer than our quoted time. Then we waited at the table to actually get our order taken. All in all, we had food on our table 100 minutes after we arrived, so we were all starving. The food was pretty solid, but anything would have tasted great by that point. The service was pretty neglectful, and we had to call out our waiter anytime we wanted something, including a refill on water (we had to ask for each individual cup to be filled one at a time). The tables inside never even seemed completely full; there were always several tables open, so it just seems they cannot handle a full restaurant. The food was fine, but absolutely not worth the long wait we had. Try going on an off-hour.

Huge menu of "diner type" food. “The Chegg” is not fast food, but it is not gourmet cuisine either. Weve ordered take out dozens of times over the past decade and have never had a bad dish. We have never eaten inside as the place is so popular it has a line outside almost around the clock. Take out is prepared quickly, usually 15-20 minutes after you call, even at the dinner hour. They are prompt and courteous. I think once in all these years they forgot something on an order and the person I spoke to was somewhat rude, but that was once in like ten years. Everyone else has always been great. The wings are awesome and weve had everything from mild to Ludicrous. Stop at Killer Bee Sting or Zapper if you like wings very hot but with taste. The hottest wings (Ludicrous) were pure heat….and pain! Some good dishes - the Chicken Taco Salad and the Pulled Pork and BLT sandwiches. The fries here are so-so. If you do not eat them within like 10 minutes they are like soggy mush. Also, the wing size varies. It used to be their jumbo wings were always, well, jumbo. Now it varies. i got the wings twice in once week. Once they were big and the other time they were like tiny.

Best wings on the planet!!! Well to me at least! Let me break it down, if you give this place four stars youre probably a decent person. Three stars and you most likely eat a muffin with a fork, two stars and your the guy from The Benchwarmers that eats sunblock, and one star your 10 second Tom from 50 First Dates because you clearly forgot how good the food is. Sure I may wake up in the morning and regret eating here when I go to the bathroom but if Reptile Man at Fantasy Island can live with a Banana Boy the 30 ft snake I can get through my bowel movement. Line here is always out the door because they are great and are a much better than the people who gave one and two stars moms at cooking. In fact if you gave one or two stars your mother probably makes sauce out of a jar. Dont try to tell me thats not true because if you do Ill tell you Queen Latifah is my grandmother. Tried to keep this review as clean as possible it would of been much better if I didnt but, as you know, we live in a world where every one and their mother gets offended. If youre that type of person go drink a bottle of THE LUDACRIS SAUCE from The Chegg. Well all in all go eat here.
