Food quality has gone down since they first opened. When we ordered, my bros burger came out charred (sent it back). My grilled chicken sandwich and fries were cold (did not send back). I wish they brought the wing deal back too. Its currently 1 dollar for small mediocre wings. Also, I don't like how they make you get your own water from the cooler. I tip well to have good service during my meal, and I don't want to get up while I'm eating (with wing sauce all over) to go get water. Sorry for the rant. I hope they pick up their quality before people stop coming to this location.
Croxley's has been on my fiancé's must-hit list for some time now, and who could blame him? 10 cent wings in this inflated day and age is an attractive lure, and if that doesn't bait you, the promise of nearly fifty different beers on tap surely will. Unfortunately, our first visit was a big, yawning MEH and our first visit will likely be our last. The dime-a-wing special no longer exists and in its place, there are now Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday specials that will have you forking over 20 or 30 cents a wing (depending on whether you order boneless or regular wings) with a prerequisite drink minimum of $5 per person. There are also $5 appetizer specials, but this is a limited list of six or seven appetizers. We were a little disappointed to find most of the much-hailed deals were actually smoke and mirrors but our appetites led us to shrug and order anyway. Along with our drinks, we ordered the classic Croxley's wings, an order of Korean BBQ wings, curly fries, and mozzarella sticks…and then proceeded to nurse our drinks for the next. 45. minutes while we waited for our food. Toward the end of it, when there were near puddles of saliva forming on our table every time a server passed us with food, we called over our waitress, who went to check and came back with our food almost immediately and with nary an apology or explanation. Apparently, it'd been sitting out because everything was lukewarm or cold (this was my first time eating a stiff, coagulated mozzarella stick – a definite no-no). Though the wings were clearly cooled down by then, the taste was just all right. Our party of Koreans were definitely perplexed by the seemingly mislabeling of these 'Korean' wings, which tasted like barbecue wings with some chopped scallions on top. Overall, they were unobjectionable but unexceptional.
There were a few highlights of the night. The beer menu was definitely one – a three-page brochure, both front and back, details all of the bottles, cans, and drafts available. We thirsty three had a lot of fun perusing the menu and trying a few new IPAs. If you're up for a drink challenge, go to the front desk and pick up a beer card where you can try all of their 48 beers on tap (over repeat visits, of course, unless you want to destroy your liver) for a free T-shirt prize. The walls are lined with TVs broadcasting every sports game possible and the rustic, casual environment made it a chill place to hang out. There's plenty of seating and tons of large, picnic-style tables for larger groups. If the food and service hadn't been so disappointing, it would have definitely been near the top of our go-to list.
If you're looking for wings, beer, and w/e game is on this is the place to go. If it's a wing night the wings are only 20¢! I've had some good times here and I would go back. It's never packed and the parking isn't too bad.
Came here on a Saturday for their wing specials- pretty good deal for .30. The place is big and there is one side for dining and the other side for the bar. Their beer selection was cool and the waiter was pretty knowledgeable of the different beers. I went with their IPA, it is an acquired taste! I also had the nachos and were very good. It was enough for a group of 5.
Come in early to avoid the crowds!
I've been here twice and always manage to miss their amazingly cheap 20cent/30cent wing deals but for 10 bucks, you definitely get bang.
Their wings are savory and flavorful, though if you leave them out a little too long, the chicken can get a little dry. The sweet potato fries side is quite good; the fries aren't soggy at all, which is always a risk when ordering them. They also come with this very unique gravy that just can't be beat.
Atmosphere is super chill (subzero chill); if you're a sports fan, this is the spot for you.
We went to Croxley's Abbey on Saturday night to watch the NHL playoff game. My boyfriend and I were the first to arrive from our group, and the hostess refused to seat us in an almost empty restaurant until the rest of our party was there. We sat at a high top table and ordered a round of beers while we waited for everyone else to get there. About five minutes later, they sat a party of three at the large picnic table in front of the big screen. I don't know they were given an exception, but I was annoyed.
Once our friends arrived, we were finally allowed to sit at the larger table, the party of three had vacated. The server at the high top made us close out our table and wasn't polite about it. The hostess then never brought menus to the larger table. We ordered an order of classic red hot chili power and an order boneless Korean BBQ. I wasn't that impressed by either. The red hot chili power had a nice kick to it, but they weren't memorable wings. I also ordered a side of fries, and they brought out a basket that was overpriced.
Croxley's was a good place to watch the game, but the service was terrible, and the food forgettable.
I've been to the other Croxley's establishments located on the lower east side and the one in Long Island. I just love Croxley's because they truly embody a sports bar. Nothing better than going to a bar where you can eat, drink and watch the games. Trust me, I am not a sports fan but just the environment enchants me and makes me interested in the games.
As for the food, what can I say. its all greasy, not healthy, exactly what I want to eat during the weekend at a sports bar. And do not get me started on their endless list of beer options. Its just amazing.
I'll finish my review by saying its a must to visit one of these establishments at least once in your lifetime.
PS. you must get a basket of warm soft delicious bread. Yum!
