The Game, a beer and some wings

I just got back from Jacks.

Sunday nights after 9:30pm they have free wings and fries with the purchase of a drink. From what I'm told, this drink doesn't have to be of the alcoholic nature, but when you're at Jacks, a beer and a game of Football just seems right.

The food isn't great, but it fills a void. There are two options for wings - BBQ - they are usually over cooked and over caramelized, and what the server/security personnel was referring to as "extra-hot". These wings are meant to be mean. I love spicy food - I had a great dinner of Pho today from Vietnam Taste- more on that later - but these wings aren't a nice hot, basically, think Franks Red Hot poured all over, nothing to them but to make you thirsty. The free buffet is concluded with French fries. These, like the hot wings, are - it would appear- meant to make you need a drink.

That being said, these do fill a void, when you're hungry, and you live downtown, or on the 12 or 2 bus route and need a place to unwind on a Sunday night, head on over to Jacks, where for the budget conscious student, you can have relatively all-you-can-eat wings and fries for $2.25 - $2.50 (price of a Soft Drink versus a domestic beer). Just remember to make your second drink a cup of tap water, you may need it.

Look out for more cheap places to eat in London, as well as posts on cheap meals to wow your significant other, things like that. Enjoy.
