The reviews for Chicken Or the Egg speak for themselves: 5 out of 5 stars on City Search, the number one rated restaurant on Trip Advisor and a 93 percent consumer approval rating on Boorah. The only downside to the Chicken Or the Egg is that it's seasonal--it opens the last week in April and closes up shop for the winter each October. During the summer months though, it stays open 24 hours a day, appealing to the late night bar crowd. The restaurant features a laid back, comfortable and eclectic atmosphere, with bright colors and reggae music playing from the speakers. The restaurant is widely known for its buffalo wings, featuring 14 different types of sauces.
