YUCK Ola!


Last night, for dinner a group of us went to Rockola in Garner. My son was sporting his new Locked & Loaded long sleeve tee. The manager came over and commented on the number of cars there and that he had to come and check it out. The wait staff at Rockola was more like the WEIGHT staff. They were courteous, but there was not the asthetic of Locked & Loaded. I joked to my son, that maybe if this guy would hire some waitresses who didn't look like they were eating up the profits, HE could have a parking lot full as well. You know, guy talk, not trying to be mean.
I was unfamiliar with the menu at Rockola. After last night, I will UNfamiliarize myself with it further. A member of my family Friday night missed out on Locked & Loaded's Chicken Quesadillas, choosing to eat at Rockola instead.
My plate came and on it were some chicken wings. When I bit into them, it tasted like a mouth full of rancid lard! The wings were not only overcooked, but had the flavor chicken has when it has been warmed over, which does not appeal to me at ALL.
I couldn't continue with the wings and immediately my stomach was registering its protest against the culinary agression.
To put it plainly, DON'T EAT THE WINGS AT ROCKOLA!
This incident far from ruined my weekend. There will be other meals and my time with my family and the joy thereof far outweighed the unpleasant experience.
