Dave and I were searching for a new place to get wings, and Brockett Pub House & Grill came up when I was browsing Yelp.  We went later on a Friday night, and it was busy but there was no wait.  A welcoming waitress told us we could sit anywhere.  There were a couple of beers on tap and some TVs were showing various sports like a Braves game.  The clientele seemed to consist of locals of various ages and backgrounds.  The wait staff seemed to know several of the customers by name.  All positives.

The menu featured typical pub grub but Dave and I were focused on the wings.  The wings came in a couple of different flavor options.  I ended up with my usual of lemon pepper while Dave had the hot wings.  Ten wings were $8.75, not bad.  We occupied our wait time by watching baseball games on one of the TVs.  After a reasonable while, the greatly anticipated wings made an appearance.

As I saw in a review on Yelp, the wings definitely did remind me of Taco Mac’s offerings, especially with the crispy outside, moist inside, and generous size of chicken.  The blue cheese dressing was homemade, always a plus in my book.  You can request your wings with either celery as a side or fries.  I chose celery, and the stalks were long and fresh.  Dave was complimentary on his wings, though he remarked that hot could have been hotter and that there could have been more sauce in general.  I really liked my wings, and the lemon pepper wasn’t too lemony or peppery.

This time, I was so besotted with the wings apparently that I forgot to take a picture with my camera.  Or that’s the excuse I like to give.  I just plumb forgot.  Oopsie.

What we liked about Brockett Pub was the relaxed and friendly atmosphere, along with the delicious wings.  We’d come back!
