Imagine Hooters with only a single location right in the heart of Hollywood, better food, cheaper beer, and a dozen flat screen televisions with various sports games being broadcast. That, in a nutshell is Big Wangs. I've never had anything at Big Wangs that I haven't liked...and I go to Big Wangs at least once a week, so I've tried just about everything on the menu (admittedly I've yet to order the Dirty Sanchez - two jalapeño cheddar dogs smothered in chili - because I'm intimated by it).
But let's step back a moment and talk about drinks. For all intents and purposes, despite the food, the layout, the location, and the atmosphere, Big Wangs is a glorified sports bar, and I don't mean that in a negative way. Big Wangs has nightly drink specials, a decent tap with quite a few seasonal selections, and some great mixed drinks. I'm mostly a beer drinker and I appreciate that they have Blue Moon on tap ($11 a pitcher comes out to about $3.50 a pint, cheap for LA!), but you have to experience a Wang Banger (tastes just like Taang) at least once. And if you're feeling like you need some extra liquid courage, you can always try a Scorpion Bowl, "A mix of Bacardi and fruit juices with an island of 151", literally served in a bowl.
Now that I've gotten that off of my chest, let's talk about food. If you have a craving for wings and want them to be served by scantily clad women, Big Wangs is a far superior option to Hooters. Seriously though, don't limit yourself. I've never had anything I don't like there - I'd particularly recommend the Italian Grinder, the Pulled Pork Grinder, or the Brisket Grinder. A few weeks ago I had an amazing Cheeseburger Quesadilla. The best thing about Big Wangs is the fact that they have tater tots. Fantastic, wonderful, delicious, i-wish-i-were-back-in-elementary-school tater tots. Tater tots made even better by alfredo sauce and bacon.
