As you make your way down Green Ridge St. in Scranton, you will pass by one of my favorite outdoor-eating establishments: Morgan’z Pub & Eatery. In fact, every meal I have eaten at Morgan’z has been on their large, partially covered patio, which does have heating in colder temperatures. The patio has a number of TVs, making it a great place to catch a game with a group of friends. If sitting outside is not your thing, they do provide plenty of seating inside at their bar or one of their many dining tables. Our waitress was very good at her job and always stopped by to check on our drinks and status, even though the place was busy for their wing night. Our orders of wings did take a while to arrive, but that’s to be expected, especially as you see tables around you getting large quantities of wings, too. Even though we are The Wing Men, Morgan’z has a large menu bound to make anyone happy.
The size of the wings at Morgan’z left me wanting just a bit more. The wings are normally $7.95 for an order, or 49 cents each on Thursday, which is their wing night. While these aren’t baby pigeon wings that you find at other places, I could have done with a bit more meat to satisfy my appetite.
Expect to find a nice variety at Morgan’z. For the traditionalists out there, they serve your Mild, Medium, Hot, and BBQ wings. They also make some interesting choices like Spicy Chili Pepper, Bourbon Molasses, and the Morgan’Z. Check out our website or stop in at Morgan’z to see the full listing of flavors. Also, be sure to ask your waitress for any flavors not on the menu as Morgan’z sometimes offer special wing sauces.
I ordered a couple of different sauces at Morgan’z since they allow you to get a minimum of five wings. The Spicy Chili Pepper is a thick and sticky sauce with a sweetness to it. Although I could have used more spice in my sauce, it was still a good wing. The Hot Garlic is a mix of their traditional Hot sauce with minced garlic thrown in to kick up the flavor. The Sweet & Sour is exactly what you’d expect. It’s a mostly sweet wing with a touch of tanginess to give it a different, but enjoyable taste. Finally, the Bourbon Molasses was my favorite out of the bunch. The flavor is very reminiscent of a Jack Daniel’s sauce packed full of great flavor. You cannot go wrong with these wings.
Morgan’z, the pride of Greenridge St., is a large restaurant/bar that’s a good choice no matter what you’re trying to accomplish. If you’re there with family, you can sit on the inside away from the louder crowd. If you’re there with friends to relax and vent about your work day or lack thereof, the outside area is perfect for you. If sports is on your mind, then the big tvs at the bar in outside is where you need to sit. If you’re plan is to get weird on a weekend then please, go outside. What’s great about the outside area is that it seems that they still use it during the winter because they have heaters and heavy duty tents. The service was fine, although my order got a bit jazzed up, but these things happen.
Make sure you order about 5 more than your usual order if you’re making wings your main meal of the night. They aren’t the largest wings you’ll ever have. They are priced at 49 cents a wing on their wing night.
13 flavors to choose from ranging from mild and hot to spicy chili pepper and bourbon molasses is what you get here. I wish they’d incorporate ranch into some of theirs sauces because I feel it’s just an absolute good. They also have one called MorganZ, which is a bit of a mystery but I think I know what it is. Let us know what you think it is.
Like I said, I ordered the Morganz wings, which I’ve had before and thought I knew what the mystery flavors were but instead I go a hot parmesan style wing. They were a nice substitute. They had a nice spice to them and they were well-coated with parmesan cheese. Next, I got the butter and garlic. They weren’t interesting because they weren’t your traditional butter and garlic wings. The butter and garlic sauce on these were exactly that, a sauce. Honestly, there were okay but I would have preferred the traditional version of butter and garlic. I appreciate the creativity with it. Lastly, the spicy chili pepper was the best I had. It brought spice and heat from all types of angles. The chili notes were abundant as were the tangy seasonings that ran throughout this sticky sauce. It reminded me of an Asian sauce that you’d get.
