The
"kitchen" consists of a Henny Penny Pressure Fryer 500 that sits behind
the bar. But with recession and all, and the most expensive item coming
in at $7.25, I figured why not pair my even-cheaper-than-usual happy
hour beer with some fried snacks. I went with the fried mushrooms
($3.50) and the wings ($5.75). The mushrooms turned out to be a nice,
beer-battered version of the standard, but the wings were, frankly, the
best I've had in Bend. That might sound hyperbolic, and granted, low
expectations may have played into my enjoyment, but they fell perfectly
in line with what I look for in a wing: not too big, not too saucy, a
creeping rather than scalding heat from the homemade beer-based hot
sauce, and the perfect cooling agent in the homemade ranch dip. Not
that I really needed another reason to go to M&J, but I certainly
have one now.
