Welcome back to the royal court everyone. Today I will tell you the tale of our recent outing to Razoo's in Plano, which luckily happens to be not too far from our castle. We decided to take the royal carriage out to Razoo's last Friday evening after the Queen got off of work. It turns out that they have happy hour from 3-7, Monday to Friday. It ended up being a pretty good little happy hour, which was an unexpected bonus for our trip. I enjoyed a nice $2 domestic pint, while the Queen enjoyed a half-price concoction known as a SWAMP THANG (see picture). This thing is apparently half margarita, half hurricane, with melon and raspberry liqueur. Pretty big, pretty colorful, pretty tasty, and pretty half priced. Plus you get to keep the miniature Mardi Gras beads (or we stole them), so its highly recommended to hit up Razoo's during happy hour. We were looking for some seafood for dinner, but had to get some wings to get this party started. I'm guessing that's why you're here; not the seafood.
They offer one style of wing as an appetizer on their menu, and I'm always suspicious of the wings at places which are not known as wing joints. Usually you order an appetizer of wings and it is pretty generic. Some little naked wings tossed in some generic wing sauce. I wasn't sure what to expect. Would it be generic? Would it be tossed in some kind of Louisiana hot sauce? Would they be naked or breaded? Would these Firemouth wings be spicy? Let us find out.
As the wings arrived I noticed a few things. They were breaded very heavily. There were about ten. They were served with a creamy sauce. The wings were not tossed in a sauce. So as we started eating, we were fairly pleased. They were steaming hot; fresh out of the fryer. They were very well cooked and very juicy. They weren't that big, but since appetizers were ALSO HALF PRICED during happy hour it is still a heck of a deal. The breading was really good on the wings, and seemed like their own secret recipe with a nice blend of spices in it. The sauce was some type of spicy ranch I think. The sauce had a little bit of a kick, but I'd hardly call these wings FIREMOUTH WINGS due to the lack of fire in my mouth.
Overall, these were pretty good, and impressive for a non-wing-joint. I think Razoo's will probably make it into the regular rotation due to that killer happy hour, as well as these wings. We also enjoy going to Razoo's because it seems like every time we go, we get some type of entertaining waiter. We still laugh about the time we went last year and when I asked our waiter what the difference between the regular and large catfish baskets was he said "Well are you like really hungry? Or like really really hungry? If you're really really hungry then get the large". Gee thanks. When we went last Friday, our waitress was training a new waiter. As I went to pay our check, I held up the check with my credit card, and he just looked at me. I sort of waved it at him to indicate "I'm trying to give you money". He took it and said "I'll find out what to do with this". I can probably guess what you do with it, but I hope he found out. So in conclusion, go to Razoo's, get the wings, make sure you get a funny waiter, and enjoy their happy hour.
