There's another chain in the Phoenix area called "The Vine." Their wings are damn good. Almost as good as J. Timothy's! And, they have Four Peaks Hefe-Weizen on tap too! |
Buffalo Joes in Evanston IL (near Northwestern U). I still can't find anything as good as BJ since my years there. It's extra spicy, extra "sour" that give it a real kick. Plus , it's not overly fried, not breaded (a big no-no IMHO). And they're great even the day after.

Wow...
Tough one. I've NEVER had good wings anywhere outside of the greater Buffalo area. They suck even only an hour away in Rochester. The best I can say were only just acceptable - at Hooter's in San Antonio. I had to tell them to leave 'em in twice as long as they usually do. Now we should talk worst wings - hands down that'd be the cafe at the Sydney domestic terminal. Breaded, drippingly greasy, and (God forbid) served with RANCH?! A travesty! :eek: But airports are notoriously bad anyway... With good wings, the skin should be crispy but not too dark, tossed in a sauce of part butter part Frank's hot sauce (ratio dependant on how hot you like it - personally I like to dash a little homemade Habenero sauce...) served with celery and blue cheese (preferably Marie's brand). ^ |

I grew up in that area and I have never heard of J Timothys, where is it?
I also think it was known as Cooke's Tavern at one time as it's on the corner of NB Ave. (372) and Cooke St. Where'd you grow up? |
We loved Wings N Things in San Diego.
FWIW...I don't like Hooters. Been there once. :td: |

BW-3 is my favorite for buffalo wing sauce - but I swear they're using pigeon wings - I've never seen chicken wings so small :D |
the best wings around these parts are the ones i make at home. recipe available by request.:)
|
Wild Wing Cafe (lots of locations, but I've only ever been to the one in Charleston, SC). Great wings, tons of different flavors.
Oh, and the best wings at Hooters are the naked ones. I think the "regular" wings are breaded. The naked ones aren't. |

Of course among the best wings I had came from Anchor Bar in Buffalo.
But a very good contender is Dorrien's Irish Pub in Jersey City, NJ by the Path station. Very good sauce and pretty large wings. They go great with the pub's in house microbrew (a nice variation on a Sam Adams or Shiner Bock.) Most wings I've had tasted like they came out of the freezer and were boiled to heat up. |

Sharon is about an hour and a half north of PIT off I-80 near the Ohio border... more like Western PA than Central.

These are Great
Go to Runyon's on Washington Street in Minneapolis (Warehouse District) It has been my favorite for years. And the beer's not bad either.
|
Just want to add that Quarterdeck also have good wings. Taste good and a bit crunchy ^
