O'No Paddy O'

 

Paddy O’Quigley’s is a locally owned chain here in Lawrence and a couple more in Kansas City.  The one in Lawrence is inside the Holliday Inn just off the West Lawrence exit.  It is suppose to be an Irish Sports Pub but the only thing Irish about the place is they put an “O” in front of their menu items.  They do offer corned beef (which is really a North American dish that us wanna-be-Irish people mistaken for  traditional Irish) but mostly their menu is regular sandwiches and burgers.  They have daily lunch and dinner specials, but alas, not for wings.  Oh well. 

Their “Chic O’Wings” come (7) for $9.99, (12) for $13.99, and (20) for $16.99 and there are a whole host of flavors to choose from.  And as you can see from the photos, they are served with both celery and carrots. 

The wings had a good appearance, were of good size and equally proportioned.   The texture and tenderness was above average – both crispy and juicy.  The flavor “hotrod” provided no heat at all which really hurt them in scoring.  Their “Paddy O’d” wings were the best of the bunch, which are a garlic parmesan style.   But the flavor of the sauces for the most part was “meh”.    And flavor is the most important thing!

All in all, Paddy O’Quigley’s wings received a score of 5.82 and will receive no further consideration.  In a word:  Fail.  Or maybe I should say, "O'Fail".
