Clancy's

Clancy's is just a dive bar but they serve some damn good food. Too bad service is terrible.

I got the small order of chicken wings, $6.95, and the turkey club sandwich, $6.25. The chicken wings were among the largest wings I've ever had. Tons of meat on those bones. They were also among the hottest wings around too. This is among the best wings I've ever had. Anchor Bar in Buffalo could learn a few things from Clancy's.

The turkey club sandwich was overflowing with turkey, ham, and bacon. Everything was so fresh, almost like they just sliced the ham and turkey. The bacon was chewy and huge. I really enjoyed the food here. So good, so fresh.

What I didn't enjoy was the service. The server, who is really a cocktail waitress, was terrible. She was rude, not helpful and a bitch. She had such an attitude, as if I was bothering her. To cut her some slack the place was pretty busy and there was only one waitress and one bartender. But that shouldn't be an excuse for her to have such an attitude. She came and asked if I needed something, but I was in the middle of chewing and I don't talk with my mouth full, but the bitch she was, copped an attitude because I didn't answer her. Is she blind too? I mean can't she see I'm eating? She also seemed to be in a rush. I finished the club sandwich but not the potato chips, which were, Ruffles, and cole slaw, which she didn't give me a fork to use. But I'm not a big cole slaw fan and I wouldn't have eaten more than a couple bites. Maybe they were running out of plates?

I would go back to Clancy's but I would hope there was a better server. That shouldn't be too hard because the server I had was among the worst I've ever had!!

Updated Reviews:

Updated Reviews: I will go back to restaurants that I have already reviewed. At times, I went back to try another item on the menu, and other times, to get the same meal because I loved it so much. Most of the time, a revisit was worth the trip. But, sadly, I've had to report the quality of the food or service has gone downhill since my last visit.

Restaurant Labels:

Moved Restaurants: This means a restaurant has closed down at the listed address in a review, and has moved to another location. If I reviewed the new location, I will post a link on the old location. I will keep this list updated as possible, but, honestly if the restaurants that moved were bad, I'm not going to waste time updating where they moved to.

Closed Restaurants: When a restaurant has the label, Closed, that means the restaurant at the address listed with the review, is now closed. The restaurant may have moved to a new location or changed names.
