Love the wings! Out of town guests requested we go to Doolittle’s as they remembered the wings from last year. The place was hopping yet able to get seated easily with a reservation. The server was busy and a tad stretched but graciously took care of us without missing a beat.

As always a good experience and excellent food, prices are up a little from the last time. However the price being up is to be expected verses other places adding a hidden service charge. This also allows for us to tip accordingly. Staff was friendly, prompt, and worked as a team with others.
