Q: The one thing I will give these guys credit for is great front counter customer service. We asked for water upon arrival to pick up wings and they gave us to-go cups. The wings are disappointing, small in size and they are stingy with their flavored sauces. The online ordering system was down when we tried ordering...the next week was the same issue. We gave them a second chance to be better and we've completely stopped going because the quality of their wings, sorry guys, thumbs down to this one.

Q: Flying Biscuit. What a delightful name. A projectile bakery good. I first went to a Flying Biscuit in Atlanta, GA. It was a fantastic, unique brunch experience. So we went back the next day, too. That's why I was excited that Charlotte was getting one a couple of years later. We arrived at the Flying Biscuit in Stonecrest on a Sunday before the church crowd let out. Unfortunately, it wasn't early enough. We had about a 30 minute wait. After our name was finally called, we discovered why. The restaurant didn't have a lot of seating and we were squooshed by a table right near the front door. The menu items were just as good as in Atlanta; they tend to be more organic and/or vegetarian in their food offerings. However, this Flying Biscuit didn't have the same ambiance as the first one in Atlanta that I experienced, and I guess that really makes the difference. In Atlanta, the restaurant was filled with an eclectic group of people. In Charlotte, it was filled with soccer moms and dads who arrived via minivan. I do want to go back to give the Charlotte location another try, but maybe I'll try lunch or dinner instead and treasure my brunch in Atlanta. p.s. Their biscuits ARE delicious no matter where you go, though! :)

Q: My last visit to Champaign treated me to some wonderful places to spend some quality time with friends. Murphy's Pub, The Blind Pig, and others. I would not put Esquire on that list. The decor is uninteresting at best. There is no personality. It's designed to appeal to a crowd that just wants a nice bright place to hang out and drink. Not being a drinker, I can't rate the Esquire on that, but I can rate them on the food, and the food is so forgettable, I forgot to review it. Our group had a couple of burgers, some wings, and a chicken sandwich. I was told the burgers were good. The chicken must be avoided at all costs. The sandwich is one of those strange creations that takes chicken strips and puts them on a bun. I'm not entirely sure why, as this makes an awkward eating experience. The strips were nearly tasteless. Thank goodness for mayonaise. My wife had the wings. After one or two, she was trying to figure out why they didn't seem right. I was going to eat them, but I couldn't, and I LOVE wings. These things had enough salt to turn Lake Michigan into a salt lake. They were awful. I would not go back at all. I'll eat diner food, fast food, and other kinds of food, but not Esquire Food. Meh.

Q: I've been volunteering & hanging with the cats recently. The staff is so friendly & they want the best for all of these precious animals. The cages are always clean and always have fresh food, water, treats, a blanket, & toys. This is a great company :) I'm so happy to volunteer and spend time with the kitties
