So, Jeff, Jonathan, Jeremy, Sean and Jon decided to leave the comfort of their families and their warm, safe homes to head out in the cold to eat some Manhattan Capon Wings at Allen's on the Danforth. They soon realized that wings would only be the beginning of their eating odyssey. There were cheeseburgers and lamb and fries to try! This would be a FEAST! And when the meal was finally completed, they collectively decided that Allen's was just the first of many eating destinations to come for this brave foursome.
RATINGS:
Jon:
Wings: 4 out of 5
Cheeseburger: 4.5 out of 5
French Fries: 3 out of 5 (too chunky)
Sweet Potato Fries: 3 out of 5 (too chunky)
Beer (Steigl): 4 out of 5
Jeremy:
Wings: Too vinegary
Lamb Pie: Left something to be desired
Service: I was asked to switch chairs
Jeff:
On overall excellent first step into the greater world of the Capon Club… the wings while tasty and well prepared were certainly not deserving of the title “best in the city”. Beer selection was superb and having the matched glass was a nice touch. The star of the show was clearly the cheeseburger which is at least a contender for best in t.o. The surly service that was delivered actually enhanced the overall eating experience and made for a more enjoyable evening in my humble opinion. I look forward to future eating adventures!
Wings 3.5/5
Fries 3.5/5 (sweet potato fries are an overrated phenomenon in burger joints these days!)
Beer 4.5/5
Burger 4.8/5
Service (or lack thereof) 4.9/5
Overall 4.3/5
Jonathan:
Capon Wings: The first 4 were the perfect blend of saucy sweet and tangy (4 out of 5). The last 4 were way too rich for my palate. Please share responsibly with friends.
Steigl Beer: Don't know much about beers, but I know I like Steigl (4 out 5)
