Wing Heaven (Wyoming, MI)

There are likely more onion rings in the world than I will ever get to taste and review. However, each new onion ring review is some small attempt to chip away at the mountain that awaits me. After a brief hiatus, I have returned to my quest, with a review of onion rings from Wing Heaven, at the Wyoming (MI) location.

Presentation and Appearance: 2.5/5

These onion rings have a smooth and consistent breading, which is to their benefit. With a light, golden brown color, they are immediately attractive to the eye. Though the breading is somewhat gnarly, it's consistently so, with no irregularities marring it up.

Given that I ordered take-out onion rings from a small wing restaurant, I didn't exactly expect a beautiful presentation. My expectations proved correct. Wrapped in some slightly greasy paper and shoved into a styrofoam box with some spicy wings, it wasn't great. The unappetizing presentation caused me to go into the actual eating with an air of suspicion.

Taste: 3/5

A strong onion flavor is evident throughout. This is far from a certainty, surprisingly. The core component of an onion ring is, after all, the onion. The taste was palatable, without being overpowering. Subtle, and mild.

The breading was lightly seasoned. It wasn't excellent, but it did add adequate flavor. Thankfully, these onion rings weren't greasy in the slightest. It did mean less flavor, but it did mean more *decent* flavor.

That said, there's nothing that really stands out about the taste of these onion rings. They're alright. Nothing worth writing an elaborate review on a blog about onion rings, though.

Texture: 1.5/5

Mushy with hardly a taste of crunch, the texture leaves much to be desired. The onion interior isn't really an onion, it's more like a white paste shaped into an oval, desperately trying to masquerade as a slice of an onion.

The breading is mealy, but it provides the only source of a crunch in the onion ring. There's not much else to say about texture. There's no part of it that makes a good onion ring.

Value: 3/5

While these onion rings weren't really expensive (a little over $3), I found both the quantity and quality lacking. A pitifully small amount, it barely sufficed as a sufficient side to my boneless wings. Even if it was a mound, the weak texture and average taste didn't make it much worth it.

Total: 10/20
