Another vote for BW3 (which will never escape that name, no matter what they actually choose to call themselves...).

I prefer the "non Buffalo" sauces, though... The Thai was the best I had experienced in a while, even though it is "discontinued"...

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?
Bristol and you?

Cool! Without looking, I'd guess State College?

I'll second the naked wings. Breading on a wing is fake... much like the scenery at most Hoots, too.

Since Quaker Steak & Lube has started expanding past PA/OH, I've not felt a need to visit any Hoots for good wings. Now, if I only had a Hoots locally here in Wv, then I'd definitely stop and take a peek.

There's one near Danville - where I head twice a year - that seems pretty central to me.

"Your Mothers" resteraunt in Downtown Mt Clemens, MI. (30 minutes north of Detroit.) They have the best wings I have ever had. Big, juice, double fried wings. They do both sauces and rubs. The lemon pepper rub is amazing.

Maybe I'm outgrowing wings. The past few times I've had them they haven't lived up to delicious.

From the where are they now Flyertalkers, Korea71 turned me on to some excellent Chinese style wings in the Chicago area, even food columnist Monica Eng loves them, FT thread here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=308538

Im surprised to see so many thumbs-up for Hooters. I only go there for beer and the, uh, view.

Gone but not forgotten the Airways Hotel in BUF.

I find hooters naked wings pretty ordinary. But while breaded wings are certainly not authentic, I do crave 'em once in a while, and for breaded, hooters is my fave.
