Mickey's

Anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that every Monday for the past 6 months or so (at least) I have been adamant about eating wings at the Bear's Den. Cheap beer and cheap wings via the Bear's Den have made Monday out to be one of my favorite nights of the week. So naturally when I heard of a place that offered even cheaper wings, and fairly similar drink specials, I got excited. I was hesitant at first, as all people are when it comes to change, but this past Monday, the first wing night away from the Bear's Den was held at Mickey's here in Conway, AR. Mickey's offers a 12 wings for 4 dollars combo, essentially .25 cent wings, and one dollar drafts. I had heard that the wings at Mickey's were huge. My skepticism tuned out to be proven false, as the wings truly were the biggest wings I have ever had. I did not think that I was going to be able to finish them, but I managed to choke them down. Mickey's offers several different sauce options such as Parmesan Garlic(which my friend who ordered them said were quite good) and Jamaican, as well as the traditional Buffalo which is what I had. Unfortunately for Mickey's, this was there undoing. The wings could have been twice the size they were, and they still would have fell short because of the sauce. It did taste sort of like Buffalo sauce, there was even a nice, subtle heat, but it just cannot hold a candle to other traditional wing sauces that I have had. The texture of the sauce resembled that of a paste, and I felt like i was constantly having to scrape excess sauce gunk out of my mouth. They also had a sweetness that was just to overpowering in my opinion. It was just terrible. Wing Stop has better sauce than this place, and I fucking hate that place. Really, the only reason why I am being so tolerable of Mickey's is because their wings were just so massive, like porn star dick big. Now don't get me wrong, their regular sauce sucks, but apparently their other flavors aren't that bad, and for the Monday night price are probably totally worth it. But I will not be going back anytime soon. The wing's were not the sole deciding factor either. You can't get pitchers, and their one dollar beer only consists of Miller Light or Bud Light, so fuck that. Also, they have tiny tv's, and one of them was on the fucking Weather Channel. I felt like I was at a restaurant rather than a bar and therefore had to show a level of restraint. So bottom line is this, wing night is at the Bear's Den for a reason, and for now anyways, I can't see it changing.
