The wings were cold, hot wings are good when fresh and if they are cold they are not even good. Some vendors only gave you 1 wing for a punch even if you did not get the second choice. Room for improvement Not crowded this year and I think better organized but last year was really crowded. So people stayed away because it was not very organized
They underestimated the attendance. Needs a bigger venue next time and a bigger supply of wings! They should hold this event every year, maybe even twice a year. It is a great way for local businesses to market themselves to new customers!
At an all you can eat wing tasting event how do you keep runing out of wings. Waste of money and time.
Wing-a-palooza had the potential to be an awesome event but it was so poorly organized that it bombed. If they make some changes next year, I can definitely see this being an awesome annual event that I would go to. As it is now, it was a total fluster cluck...pun intended. The first problem came right out of the gate, literally. No one organized anything at the door so people just started forming a line to enter the arena. The problem was they didn't open the Will Call booth until 5 or 10 minutes after that. So a lot of people stood in line for the arena, then were told to go back to Will Call for their ticket. The second problem was that only half the floor space was reserved for the event. The other half was for a Pickle Ball Tournament which I had never heard of prior to this. This made the event seem super janky. They definitely needed more floor space because no one could tell what line they were standing in for each vendor. At one point, a table had two separate lines forming because no one knew where to stand. It was just a crowded mess of people bumping into each other. Third problem, a few of the vendors didn't even show up until half way through the event. I can't even blame it on the restaurants that participated, the event was so poorly organized that it's very likely they were just given the wrong time or something. I think the last and worst problem with the whole event was the quality of the chicken wings. I don't know if everyone was forced to make their wings from the same supplier but these were the smallest chicken wings I've ever seen. I've eaten at most of these places and I know for a fact they serve better quality food than this. Plus, you spent so much time in line waiting that you were lucky to have more than 10 wings at the whole event. The big draw for this was "all the wings you can eat" but I ended up going out to eat right after because I was still hungry. Countless people asked for their money back on the Facebook page because it was so bad. I gave it 2 stars because I want them to actually get organized next year and make this into an event that will be worth going to.
The event was very disorganized. Thy should’ve advertised there were limited tickets. Some vendors were late. Others ran out of food quickly so didn’t get to try them.
Was really looking forward to this event. Got there anew as very disappointed. Every booth ran out of wings. When the wings were restocked they were very small and you were given 1-3 wings. Stood around while waiting for wings. Ended up only staying for 30 mins. Will never go again. Wish I saved the $30 and just made wings at home.
Great idea, but poor execution! The "in the round" dining would have worked much better if they had done it in a line formation, not just free roaming. Many booths had lines backed up, and crossing into other lines. At one point, we were 20 minutes in a single line, and there were close to 20 vendors. It is not "handicapped-friendly," either. There were only tables available at the front entrance, and no place to even sit for the entire duration through the rest of the event. A person in a wheelchair could barely navigate through the lines clogging up the walkway. A person with limited walking ability would have no place to sit and take a break. Honestly-a single line and trays to carry the food seems much more practical.
Well worth $30 I was full by the time the event ended
We had an amazing time the wait time between each station went quick and we got our full of food 10x over. The wings were delicious and the staff was friendly. I will be back.....
