" The crab cakes were a revelation! Fresh crab meat with tons of flavor; they definitely do not skimp on the crab. I really appreciated how quickly my order was prepared, too. However, coming to pick it up made me a bit anxious with all the people hanging around outside. Still, the food made it worthwhile. I think this place deserves more love. " (*Curated Review*)

" They have a unique flavor profile that sets their wings apart. I’m a big fan of spicy, crispy wings and Bally’s delivers without fail. It does get busy, and the atmosphere can be a bit hectic, but I love the food so much that I overlook these details. Great portion sizes for the price too! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed! My wings came out soggy and the sauces were lacking in flavor. For the rave reviews, I expected so much more. The location may deter me from coming back, as I felt quite uncomfortable waiting inside the restaurant. I don't mind scruffy places as long as the food is good, but this time, it just didn't hit right. I might try again someday but not in a hurry. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bally's has some of the best fried rice I've ever had! It's fluffy, well-cooked, and bursting with flavor. I can’t help but keep coming back. However, the atmosphere leaves much to be desired with people often gathered outside. The service is always quick which makes it convenient for a lunch break. I also appreciate the generous portion sizes, making it great value for money! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the freshness of the food at Bally's! Every time I've visited, I've left feeling satisfied. It's a bit cramped, and the surroundings could be better, but the service has always been pleasant with a friendly staff who remembers my orders. I value a restaurant that takes care of its customers while serving good food. Definitely one of my favorite spots when I'm in the mood for wings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bally's Carry Out has transformed into my go-to spot in the area. Initially, I was hesitant, especially with all the mixed reviews. But after trying their chicken teriyaki sticks, I was pleasantly surprised. The ones I had were perfectly flavored. I also learned that they have homemade sauces, which makes a big difference! Although the surrounding area seems a bit rough, the taste of the food makes it worthwhile. You might want to call ahead, especially during busy hours; they always seem to be packed but never compromise quality. I will definitely keep coming back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a regular here, I can say that the food quality is pretty solid! Just the other day, I had their shrimp fried rice, and it was delightful. It’s nice to find a place that serves dishes that remind me of home. The only downside is the ambiance. Sometimes I feel uneasy with all the activity outside, so I prefer taking my order to go. However, they do a great job on the phone, and my order is always ready when I arrive. " (*Curated Review*)
