TVs & GAMES
Apparantly, the Wing Factory had no idea the NFL season was starting. Every single TV was tuned into ESPN. As NFL Countdown came to an end, I noticed one TV had a game that was already started. I looked at my watch and it was 1:00pm.

The latest Contender episode was playing on ESPN, and somewhere in real life, the Redskins were already playing. People began to complain (scream) and soon the 1 employee at the restaurant took the 1 remote at the restaurant and went to each TV one by one. Instead of making the first TV the Skins, he chose a different game.

Eventually the Redskins were on a small TV and we had only missed about one drive. The Contender was still on the 2 Big Screen Plasmas and several games were not on any TV. A second employee came out to try to figure out how to work the plasmas, but had much trouble.

After awhile, things settled down and now the Skins were on a big TV, and every other game except for the Texans/Chiefs and Vikings/Falcons were on a visible screen. (Those 2 games were on TVs in the bar, but not where the main seats were.

FOOD, BEER, SERVICE
$1 Domestic Drafts. Thats about the best beer special that you can get. Other than that, they have around 15 beers on tap including several good choices.

Kids meals were $2, but all other food was regular price. The Wings were about $8 for 10 wings, which comes out to about $1 per wing after tax & tip. They have 24 different flavors, but they aren't that great. No nachos on the menu.

I think there was 1 waiter for like 20 tables. He came by every once & awhile, and forgot several things. Sometimes I don't even think he was in the building.

Recommendation: If you want to get trashed while watching every NFL game, the Factory is a great place to go. If you are looking for food & service, go somewhere else.
