Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Goodbar

July 28, 2019By Patrick Moran

Goodbar is part of the legendary Elmwood strip on the west side that has served legions of drinkers for several decades.  As a Buffalonian I don’t call it a stretch to call it part of the fabric of the city of Buffalo.  But—– how were the wings when I tried them? Read on to find … Read More

Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Coles

July 28, 2019By Patrick Moran

Quite literally I’m writing the exact same lead-in I did for its next door competition/counterpart, Goodbar.  “Is part of the legendary Elmwood strip on the west side that has served legions of drinkers for several decades.  As a Buffalonian I don’t call it a stretch to call it part of the fabric of the city … Read More

Wing Review/QB Comparison: Wales Center Hotel

July 28, 2019By Patrick Moran

Of all the spots I didn’t get to among the first 40 wing reviews I’ve done, the Wales Center Hotel in is among the most requested, which made me realize I can’t have a serious review/ power rankings list without trying them.  Are these wings worth the considerable hype I read on Twitter or do … Read More

Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Jokers

July 16, 2019By Patrick Moran

Located on Electric Avenue in Lackawanna close to the Blasdell border, Jokers has a classic dive bar feel, although the interior is actually quite impressive and makes up for the terrible parking options outside.  The establishment has been around forever although it’s only been called Jokers for the past few years.  They have a nice … Read More

Summer 2019 Chicken Wing Power Rankings

July 14, 2019By Patrick Moran

I love chicken wings and love power rankings things even more. After spending my entire life in Buffalo I moved to Florida in the summer of 2016. After trying wings at a half dozen Florida spots and detesting each I quickly realized how much I took wings back home for granted. While living in the … Read More

Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Bar Bill

July 14, 2019By Patrick Moran

On a national level it’s Anchor Bar or Duffs that’s most associated with chicken wings.  However, if you’re a Western New Yorker, Bar Bill in East Aurora is widely known as the most popular spot.  Does it live up to the hype?  Let’s dig in. PROS: Umm, yes it lives up to the hype.  I … Read More

Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Kelly’s Korner

July 12, 2019By Patrick Moran

One of my favorite things about wing spots is that much like the food itself, they come in all sorts of varieties.  You got your fancy spots and your (affectionately known as) holes in the wall.  Kelly’s Korner definitively falls in the latter. Located on Delaware Avenue and Hartwell in the heart of North Buffalo … Read More

Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Anchor Bar

July 12, 2019By Patrick Moran

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

July 12, 2019By Patrick Moran

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
