The Happy Viking

Visited April 9 2026. See my receipt. I got here when they opened at 11am. There was one other person inside as it just opened. I had heard they had great chicken wings and decided to get a small order ( 6 pieces) . They have a ton of sauces to choose from. I chose the spicy mix ( their viking and Chipotle I think). It was good and crunchy and came with a couple celery and carrot sticks. What I didn't like was the 30 minute wait for 6 wings. Also I had bar seating and could see into the kitchen. More like a social hour than concentrating on their patrons. If you are a regular you will be taken care of quickly. It's more of a sports bar ( full bar) attracting mainly guys. That's fine..it just wasn't my vibe. Plenty of tvs to watch sports which is a plus ( big 49ers fan!). If I eat there again I will order ahead of time and pick it up. The musty smell of the inside was a bit of a turnoff ( old building?). I had a bite and took my food to go. I had plans to go to Sopa Thai!

I have been visiting the Viking for over a decade. If you are looking for the best wings you will ever have in your entire life, you need to try their wings. Their pizza bones are fantastic, and so is their buffalo chicken salad. You are seated quickly, order taken promptly, and food comes out in a reasonable time. Their staff is always kind, and try their best to spark up genuine conversation.

Definitely not the place it used to be. My wife and I visited last night, 1/20/26. We were seated quickly. When they came and took our drink order my wife ordered the Miami Vice and I ordered their unfiltered amber lager. At some point they came over and asked my wife if she wanted whipped cream on her Miami Vice and she said definitely not. My guess is that the drink was made and then they realized they hadn't asked if whipped cream was desired and they just scooped it off and tried to mix it in and it was obvious that's what they did because you could still see the whipped cream on the inside of the glass. My beer came and it tasted really stale. I drank about 1/3 of it and set it aside... We ordered the battered and fried artichoke hearts. When they came they were somehow burnt and cold. I'm not sure how that happens. For dinner my wife ordered the Vampire Killer pasta which is supposed to have a lot of garlic but tasted like it had very little. They used to offer clams with the pasta but have since discontinued that. That's the whole reason we visited because my wife wanted that specific dish. I ordered the philly cheese steak sandwich with a side salad. It came and I took one bite and it was warm but burnt. I've added photo's we took of the artichoke hearts. The photo of the cheese steak is from another review but mine looked just like it. I pushed it aside along with the beer after one burnt bite. Our waitress did apologize and asked if there was anything they could do and I said just take it off the bill. We paid for the drinks, the burnt artichoke hearts because we did eat them and my wife's pasta. I did leave 20% tip for her. This definitely isn't the place it used to be. After we left we went else where to get dinner for me.

I had the 'strami burger. It was good. The garlic fries were amazing! The onion rings were very flavorful as well.

Well here we go 10$ for chilie Cheese fries and that was happy hour. The portion of food for the cost was embarrassing. If this is the portion for 10-15$ I would recommend going some where else. In N Out, Apple Bees, Mexican restaurant so many other choices.
