That's what they get for not ever having enough room for me! They’re well worth the wait. Place is pretty small but the food is very very good. IMO they have the best wings and beef on weck in the area(maybe the world). Usually split a beef on weck with whoever I go with as they’re pretty big and get a single order of wings for myself with a bar bill lager to wash them down. You can order to go. Usually takes 40-45 mins though so order in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually takes 40-45 mins though so order in advance. Bar-Bill has the best restaurant wings around. (Though I've had and made better; but not really fair to compare making 2 batches versus 2,000.). But their line / wait times have gotten ridiculous the past 2 years. Would probably take out of towners to Elmo's now (assuming they don't want Anchor Bar or Duffs for the name recognition) as you can actually get in within a day or 2 and they're my choice for 2nd best restaurant wings. Beef on Weck is (IMHO) 2nd best to Schwabl's. If only Schwabl's served wings. (Of course, if they did it'd take at least 3 days to get a table. The beef IS that good.). And if you go to Schwabl's you have to try the (non-alcoholic) birch beer. (Were I to ever drink pop again, that would be THE choice.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wait was ridiculous the time we went and everyone was hungry and didn’t want to wait. If it’s better than bar bills I would definitely wait for that.

And the wait can get crazy bad on a weekend because there's only about 14 tables total in the dining room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is always far superior to whatever the standard meal is. Now, admittedly, I haven’t done that in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when they actually served food on plain flights, you could call the airline ahead of your flight and request a meal for dietary restrictions, including Kosher, vegetarian, gluten free, etc., and sometimes you could get better quality food that way, or at least be able to choose something you prefer rather than the Choice A chicken or Choice B beer they typically served. I suppose this is still a thing for transoceanic flights. I haven't traveled overseas in 5 years.

It was sublime when we went there. Not sure why, but there was no wait at all when we went. I checked my Facebook post- we got there before 5 pm on a Saturday. It wouldn't take much to have to wait though. Tiny little place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, out of YYZ (and back), each flight was only five hours, but I would think that is a sufficiently long flight that they would serve something.

LabattBlue Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 I haven't been in Schwabl's since the owner trashed the elderly woman who crashed into their building 5 years ago or so. F them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Yeah, basically any meal that has more touch labor is going to be better. Also, Kosher food has quality standards; you can't just serve dog food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Bar bill has an app, download it and love it, I use it all the time as it's only a 15-20 min drive from my home. Maybe I'll order a kosher meal on one of these flights and let y'all know how it turns out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
