St Adolphe Motor Inn - Saint Adolphe, Manitoba

I am reading one of the recent reviews that was left by “Madison”, who I am pretty sure is referring to us who had to wait over an hour, haha! We spoke to the couple beside us who told us they waited nearly an hour for their wings. They ordered 2 dozen from what we saw. Yes, we were kind to the owners! We did not leave that review by Madison, so I am disheartened to see that the response by owners to Madison’s review is aimed towards “two friends” who ordered “4 dozen wings” ☠️.

I am disappointed by the response by the owners and I am certain their response is referring to us when they mention the people who ordered four dozen wings. The entire tone seems vitriolic and presumptuous and quite uncomfortable. Owners are for sure allowed to respond to negative reviews and defend themselves if needed, but careful consideration on HOW things are said in responses requires more attention. In this case, they are attacking the wrong people.

I did not come in with a friend, I came in with my mom yesterday, and it was very busy—the place was packed. Despite waiting over an hour (I believe it was 1.5 hours, actually), we were patient and understand things happen beyond our control sometimes. I know how difficult it is for wait staff, and even if I receive bad service at a restaurant, I am not the type to boycott after one bad visit. We were hungry and a little bit annoyed, but would not hold it against the wait staff who explained to us it was a kitchen issue and an unexpected amount of guests that night. As we were leaving the restaurant, I saw that they were buying wings from a store because they had run out. So that also adds to the credibility that indeed, they weren’t prepared for the large volume.

We enjoyed the wings despite the long wait. They are huge, and if we had known that, we wouldn’t have ordered 4 dozen. At other establishments, they’re tiny! The price per pound on a wing night is a bit more expensive than other places, but when you factor in how big the wings are, I think the price is more than reasonable. I like how the restaurant allows us to take home wings, because my partner had wanted to come with us, but couldn’t, so I was able to bring some to them. They liked it enough that they would want to consider going, and so did I.

The big sell for us was the massive amount of flavours, it would be great to bring friends and share the different kinds sometime. We had gotten Inferno, Hot Lemon, Balsamic Vinegar, and Widowmaker. I find Inferno was hotter than Widowmaker. We would not order Balsamic Vinegar again. Should we ever return, I would try the more ambitious and creative flavours than just the hot sauce.

I am removing a star because yeah, it was a long wait, we had to chase the server to get answers. It would have been nice if they had come to our table and updated us on the wait time, instead of my mom having to chase down a server. However, it is the response to the critical reviews (and assuming certain reviewers are certain customers), that do not leave a good impression. I was more than willing to try again and bring more people because I think that a small establishment like this is worth supporting rather than franchises like Smitty’s, but this is how they perceive their customers and respond to reviews, I’m not sure. I am worried had I not left this review to clarify things, and that if I come back, they have some preconceived notion of us which may alter service received, and that does not leave a good feeling.

Last night wing night was absolutely packed, busier than it’s been in years! It was amazing to see the place filled with both locals and visitors from the city. Despite the overwhelming crowd, the staff handled it like absolute pros.

A special shoutout to the server who was working her tail off all night. She was juggling a million things at once, yet kept a smile on her face and did everything she could to make sure everyone was taken care of. It wasn’t an easy night, and while some folks were understandably frustrated by the wait, I just want to commend the staff for their hard work and dedication. The wings come out hot, perfectly cooked and exactly how we ordered. Even with a little wait it was absolutely worth it.

It’s so great to see a local spot like this thriving and busy—this is what community is all about! If you haven’t stopped by recently, do yourself a favor and pop in. Let’s keep the momentum going and continue to support them.

Came for the first time Monday for wings. We’ve been to a few wing night small town spots and had high hopes for this place. Although the wings were great it took almost 45 minutes for them to arrive. There was only 1 waitress for the entire bar and the people behind us probably waited over an hour for their wings as we left before their food even came. The cost was a bit higher than we expected too. We can go to Ile Des Chenes bar and have the same amount of wings for $20 less and 30 minutes quicker.

Ordered food for dinner tonight. Wow! So delicious!!! Will for sure be ordering again and again. Went there last weekend for drinks and pool. Awesome staff, environment and perfect place to have in the town.

A very quaint, rural drinking hole. Clean, not busy with all the amenities- pool table, VLT machines and cold beer. Unfortunately they lose a star for their broken Beer taps.

Good prices on beer and wings to die for. Amazing and plentiful flavors. Widowmaker is the second hottest i have had in my life and I'm a wing expert (self proclaimed). Ill drive back here for more food!

Ordered two double bacon cheeseburgers to go and it impressed my colleague and I to the highest degree! The burger had the perfect proportions, I will go out of my way to eat here again.
