Don’t worry, KO Sports Bar & Grill. I won’t penalize you for being closed on Sundays despite the internet claiming you’re open. It’s a lesson I learned the hard way after an Orchard Park to North Buffalo early Sunday evening drive to KO was wasted. But hey, I got to see some interesting characters strolling … Read More
Wing Review
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Buffalo Tap House
Most my wing trips are at least semi planned out. Buffalo Tap House was definitely not one of them. After spending a Saturday afternoon on the Hertel Avenue strip with a buddy hanging out at a couple patio bars enjoying the day we eventually ventured towards downtown. We met up with more friends at the … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Glen Park Tavern
I took a drive from Orchard Park to North Buffalo on an early Sunday evening to hit up KO Sports Bar & Grill for wings. I was excited all the way until walking up to the door and finding the place was closed. Dejected and also wing hungry in the car I started thinking of … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: The Wellington Pub
I met a friend at the Wellington Pub one week earlier and didn’t have wings, reason being I didn’t see them on the menu and assumed they weren’t available. Perhaps I should’ve read the thing a little more focused because there’s most definitely wings to be had. I went back again the following Saturday after … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Adolf’s Old First Ward Tavern
Adolf’s on South Park Avenue in the heart of the Old First Ward isn’t designed for outsiders. Don’t get me wrong, that’s not to say people from neighborhoods other than the Ward aren’t welcome, but it’s blatantly obvious the locals are the one buttering the bread here. It’s old and run down, just like we … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Gene McCarthy’s
Folksssssssssssssssss. I didn’t come to this review alone. My man Maniac and DJ Supreme from Trainwreck Sports joined me for a little Moran-Alytics Podcast collaboration. I didn’t see the inside of the bar because I went with Supreme to set up gear for their “Wing Reviewz” video series nearly while Maniac ventured in to pick … Read More
Chicken Wing Review/QB Comparison: Coles
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
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: Kelly’s Korner
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
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
