The first time I had Anchor Bar wings a few years ago I enjoyed them a lot. So much, in fact that I had them Power Ranked in my Top 15 and also ahead of Duffs. To say that caused a shit storm in my Twitter mentions is an understatement, but I don’t care. My … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Big Tree Inn
Because so many current and former Buffalo Bills as well as various sports media members can be found regularly at Big Tree, with the close proximity to the stadium a big reason why, it’s easy to assume their wings are overrated. People probably go and eat wings there because it’s right next to where the … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: La Nova Pizza
As someone raised on the west side and actually having delivered pizza at the original location as a teenager I’ll always have a huge soft for La Nova.

Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: M.T. Pockets

Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Mammosers
It was a family affair as I journeyed to Mammosers with four family members in tow. Each wanted their own take on the wings so we ended up going with a bucket to divvy up, five flavors total. In the interest of fairness to other places I rate and review, as always I only judge … Read More

Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Dalmatia Hotel
Hotel Dalmatia is located in Riverside and I hit up in the early afternoon during the week with reinforcements. My wife, daughter, her boyfriend and my son joined me. Because of my extensive company we tried five different flavors, though in keeping with my own rules I only counted the medium plus one signature (in … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: O’Neill’s Stadium Inn
When one thinks of O’Neill’s Stadium Inn the first thing that comes to mind is certainly not chicken wings. That distinction belongs to heavy intoxication before, during or after Buffalo Bills games. Makes sense seeing the locale is literally across the street from New Era Field. For those who don’t come around other than eight … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Elmo’s Bar & Restaurant
Elmo’s Bar & Restaurant is located in Amherst—or is it technically Getzville? Does it really matter? Anyway, it’s a joint that didn’t become mainstream for their wings until recent years, when former UB football star Khalil Mack helped put them on the map on a national scale. Let’s dig in. PROS: The Cajun Double-Dipped wings … Read More

Garbriel’s Gate is a trendy spot in the heart of Allentown known for wings as well as other eats and beverages. It’s a favored wing spot for many sports media folk, but does it live up to the hype?
