Lord of the Wings

You guessed it... this is THE place that specializes in chicken wings. You can get all sorts of different kinds of chicken wings here, ranging from buffalo, BBQ flavored, honey mustard, and others. What's more, the wings can be ordered with a level of spiciness that, if you so choose, can range from mild, to hot, to suicide! It doesn't end there... Lord of the Wings has one of the best burgers I have ever eaten.
I presume that that is attributed to the make-it-yourself nature of choosing each of the ingredients and toppings that go into your burger, which include choices that show that those who came up with the menu spent a lot of time paying attention to detail. Such ingredients and topping for your burger include whole wheat bread, Angus beef, avocado, guacamole, a breaded mozzarella patty, and others, as well as your usual offering of condiments and such. One of the things that really did it for me to consider their burger a success is that it was served hot. That is rare. It is served to the point where it will be warm in your mouth, where, if you order the breaded mozzarella patty with it then it would slightly melting. It's just perfect, and it's something I've never experienced anywhere else, with any of the burgers I've eaten. The branch in Gemmeyzeh has one of the friendliest waiters I've come across too.
Our waiter, Nicholas, was jovial and knew how to maneuver his way to making his clients feel welcomed and at ease, and cracked a joke about needing to "take the test" so we could order.
You see when we sat down we were each given a sheet with circles next to the menu items and pencils. We needed to tick off the items that we wanted to eat and hand in the paper to the waiter to process our order, something like how taking the SATs or the TOEFL were before they became computerized.
Dessert was great too. If you're crazy for espresso and just love vanilla ice-cream, then just get the dessert that combines the two. I must have swallowed it all up in under a minute's time.
