daq's wings & grill

daq's has good food but the management and service is horrible. waited 15 mins to get a waitress than 3 of them fought over who's table it was. after placing our order 45 mins and no food. they said they had a bunch of to go orders. y'all might want to feed your in house customers or give them a warning it's gonna take an hour for their food. as i was leaving (with my now to go order) the table next to us who had waited an hour and 15 mins food came and it was all undercooked! will not being going back .

good food / service / not expensive. i had the grilled chicken sandwich; was excellent !!! service was good and prices were great. great "pub atmosphere".

outstanding food and service! the burger with sweeties were spot on! the staff did a fantastic job of keeping my glass full! big thanks!

service greatly improved!!!!!. today the ttott crew descended upon daq’s of monroe, and i must say that i was pleasantly surprised. for those foodie friends who have never ventured to daq’s, it’s located conveniently on forsythe avenue, in between trio’s and chase bank.

first, i will set the “mood” - this eatery possesses a sports bar/pub type atmosphere with ample adult beverage signage and adorable wait staff for the young men of the town. daq’s menu is simple consisting of burgers, wings, strips, salads and appetizers. they have a nice selection of sauces and their scratch made onion rings are fabulous.

ttott’s personal favorite menu item is the grilled chicken, whether it’s on a salad or between the bread of your choice, the flavor is there without any sauce/dressing. today’s outing provided the ttott crew with grilled chicken sandwiches, with sauces on the side, one fabulous grilled chicken salad, flavorful chicken strips, crispy fries and mouth watering onion rings. our waitress was very hospitable, courteous, and efficient; and this, ttott friends is where i must make a brief interjection - in the past, i have been hesitant to return to daq’s because of the service (or lack of) that i and my guests have received. now having said this, again i will reiterate how pleasantly surprised i was to have had such an attentive young lady attending to the ttott crew! this young lady gave 110% in her customer service efforts and it gleamed through how much she enjoyed what she does!

from start to fabulous finish, i must say that i have been given rejuvenated joy with daq’s and their service. based on this visit, the ttott crew will most certainly be revisiting daq’s again in the near future.

daq's, i won't be back..... a few weeks back an office cohort and i ventured back into the realm of daq's and i could not wait to share my new found treasure of wonderful food with my friend. "waiting" was an understatement. the young lady who finally noticed us, took our "water" drink order, and vanished off to attend to other customers (which is completely acceptable). once she returned, she took our grilled chicken sandwich and grilled chicken salad order (not difficult, right? wrong). after waiting for 30 minutes for our food to be delivered, we flagged down our waitress and inquired as to the disposition of our meal and were told that the "kitchen is backed up". okay. so as the dining room thins out, and people who were seated long after we arrived were getting more complex orders of burgers, fries, appetizers, etc., and after we had waited for 45 minutes for (again) a grilled chicken sandwich (no side) and a grilled chicken salad (chicken and a variety of uncooked vegetables) we got up and left! had it not been for those orders for people who came in 10 to 15 minutes after my cohort and i had placed ours, we would have most likely "pressed forward" with our wait, but sadly, either the wait staff were oblivious to what was actually transpiring (and/or hadn't actually turned in our ticket at all), or the kitchen staff couldn't keep orders straight, either way, no matter how good the food may have been, it's certainly not worth the trouble of being ignored! it's certainly a shame that something that started out so wonderful, ended like a car hitting a brick wall. on the parker spoon review, i remove all prior accolades and award daq's 1 spoon, and only out of sheer pity. shame on you! :(

setting here now wondering why we chose to spend our time and money here. poor service. very slow. confused help. go somewhere else and save you stale a headache.

arrogant.... this business will not answer their telephone. an employee actually told me they "mute" it until 2:30 because they don't have the staff to take calls. i told her how are you supposed to make a togo order? she said that's what the drivethru is for. are you kidding me??????? if this were mcdonalds and they could produce a burger and fries in 2 minutes then she's right but they can not. they'd do 3 orders a day at lunch based on the amount of time it takes them to get your order out. it's just crazy and arrogant and once the "newness" or the place wains i guarantee they'll rethink this attitude of ignoring an entire channel of business especially with trios next door who has better food anyway.

update: just made 3 call at 8pm and the phone rang over 20 times each time (both phone numbers)... guess they've stopped taking incoming calls 100% now. fyi the french dip i just finished from trios was incredible.

pure mess. i ordered a hamburger for the first time from daqs today as a to go order. now i wish i would have checked it before i left. not only was the bun falling apart but the actual burger was in pieces. someone needs a new cook that can keep it together. will not be getting a hamburger from here ever again until changed.

update to prior review. the actual manager contacted me after reading my review (even giving me his cell phone number) and apologized for the horrible experience that i had with my coworkers. he invited us to give them another try and we did for lunch today. the service was exceptional and the food was great. i truly appreciate his response to my post and his desire to give us a better experience, which he did. i will be back!

first and last visit. i went to daqs for lunch today with some coworkers. when we first arrived, our waitress took our drink order and brought them out very quickly. she also took our food order very quickly. that is where the quickness ended. an hour after our order was taken, the appetizer finally arrived. i asked to speak to a manager. right after that, our food came out and the same waitress that i spoke to about the manager came out and said that the manager had stepped into the kitchen, but he was giving us half off of our ticket. the explanation for the delay was that they get a lot of call in orders from doctors' offices that they have to fix. that's great, but since we were in the restaurant and had been waiting for so long shouldn't our orders have been fixed before those? also, there were other customers who ordered after us who received their orders well before we did.
i completely understand being busy, but an hour wait is ridiculous. what was even more ridiculous is that the manager himself would not come to our table. he didn't "step into the kitchen" until after she told him we wanted to see him. we appreciated the discounted meal, but a little courtesy would have been much more appreciated.

food was ok, we had to add salt/tony's to all of it. the mac & cheese was dry & not mixed. the fries had 0 flavor. the service was slow & the waitress didn't really do a good job. wasn't impressed and wouldn't come back.

i love daqs, the food is good and the service is nice but the seating area can be cramped at times and the only thing stoping this place from having been one of my favorite places to go are the prices that have greatly risen since my first visit.

$9.49 for this daq's?!!? are you kidding me? 6 shrimp for $9.49 and zero sides?! that's ridiculous. i see the menu doesn't say it comes with anything, but with the shrimp po boy coming with 12 shrimp and a side for the same price maybe a dollar more, one would expect the shrimp to come with something too. 6 shrimp and nothing else...not a single thing $9.49. shrimp po boy 12 shrimp, bread, fixings, and an order of fries...10.99. that makes non sense in any universe. the order of onion rings was almost $7...i was given 7 onion rings. i was highly disappointed with my to go order once i got home. i feel very slighted.

the service and the food was horrible. the manager there was very unprofessional. i will never go there again. the grill salad had like 3 pieces of meat and whole head of lettuce.

it was awesome. i had the roast beef sandwich the meat was a little dry, but was still good. i would go back with friends and family again!!

food was okay, but i could have made better at home. seating arrangement seemed very odd. it is obvious this building wasn't meant to be a sit down restaurant. i ordered some chicken that had bacon and cheese melted on it. the bacon was hard as a rock, inedible at best. the cheese was barely melted, and not warm. the chicken, however, was cooked nicely. my boyfriend ordered a poboy or something and it was tolerable... they could have made it better by toasting the bread or something but it was just like a sandwich. he ordered some sweet potato fries and we were given what seemed like the glaze for a donut to dip it in. no, that's just wrong. i won't comment on the waitresses... i suppose it is a "sports bar" so they can get away with showy attire. they were at least polite. one more comment... the "mixed drinks"... my boyfriend ordered a mixed drink, but it was straight alcohol. he nearly gagged it was so strong. he made me taste it, being the joker he was, and it hurt my stomach all night from a tiny little taste. it was *strong*. some like that, some don't.

good football
