Best chicken wings ever?
 

I grew up in So Cal and never really heard of wings
Then moved to ATL and found some really great wings
outside of Buffalo where do you guy find good cheap wings

Frickers in Findlay, OH, definately!!!!
Plus even as a woman, i think Hooters wings are lovely, my husband likes to go there too- i dont think its for the wings though ?!?

Tyson of course!

B;)

Although they have gone big time I always like BW-3..known as Buffalo Wild Wings now.

Hooters isn't bad... sometimes the view is good too (not at CRW).

For the good... here's a couple.

Quaker Steak and Lube... various locations (check their site quakersteakandlube.com ). The original is in Sharon PA, and well worth finding it for the tourist value. It's an old gas station and lots of memorabilia. Oh, the wings (and other things) are the best. They don't call it "Best Wings USA" for nothing. Their lunch buffets are a steal... ones I've been to have been about $7.50 for several flavors of wings all you can eat!! Another thing I like is their fresh cut chips served with a cheese dip spiked with Guinness. I usually substitute these for fries when I get a wings/ribs combo. My son likes having all the cars around while he eats.

My folks (stepdad from BUF originally, mom and I from near Olean, NY, so we're all Western NY natives) introduced me to a place near where they live now (CAK) called the Irish Exchange. They have a couple of pubs in the CAK area. Their wings are also excellent... and they do run some specials before 6PM during the week (IIRC 25 cent wings or something like that). They also do fresh cut fries. Not as many different options as Quaker Steak on the sauces, but we BUF natives like them. Every time we visit my mom we have to go.

If you're in the northern suburbs of Detroit, check out The Lodge in Keego Harbor for some great wings.

In Miami Springs, FL

Tom's NFL has the best grilled wings ever

Wings House in Orlando for their Honey BBQ wings ^

Then Ale House wings (a restaurant chain in FL) and Hooters' :p

2 places make my list. In the Philly area, Wings to Go has really good wings. I like their Golden Garlic and X-tra Hot Wings. Key point: Do not go there on a really busy day, like Super Bowl Sunday, or any day that the Eagles are playing. They rush the wings at that point....and they are not as good. (The manager of my local shop told me that the store went through 105,000 wings on Super Bowl Sunday when the Eagles played a couple of years ago. I believe him. They accepted pre-orders only for that day).

My all time favorite? Uncle Al's in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The wings are battered and deep fried and come to your table dry, with various hot sauces on the side. They must use mutant chickens because the wings are huge...but really tender.

LOL :D

By the way, where's this Uncle Al's located in Ft Lauderdale? I'm going down there tonight to meet some friends and we're trying to decide on somewhere to eat.

I'm bookmarking this for my next central PA trip!

I second the Quaker Steak and Lube suggestion. GREAT friggin' wings. I consider myself lucky to have a Quaker Steak and Lube about 5 miles from me. I've yet to find better anywhere.

Try their Golden Garlic wings. Bliss.

Edit to add: Just went to their website and had no idea they had so many locations. Thought they were strictly a PA thing.

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

Definitely worth looking it up!! I'm going to get my almost 6 year old son up there as he'll love all the cars (and that's why he loves the other QS&L we've been at). We're in CLT this weekend and I'm surprised he hasn't mentioned going to the one here yet.

Then again, we have another place in CLT I didn't mention. It's called A Taste of Buffalo in Huntersville, NC (north of CLT). The owners are originally from Cheektowaga (suburb of BUF). Their wings are also excellent. For the BUF food deficient, on Fridays they do a traditional Buffalo Fish Fry and also offer Beef on Weck. Wings are available everyday though. (This next part is important...) They make their own blue cheese dressing!!! Some of the best I've ever had. I asked the wife of the couple who owns it about this... she said everyone in CLT tried to tell them what Blue Cheese dressing to use, and none of them was good enough for them.. so they did it themselves. Great choice!!

At the Red Banjo pizzeria in Park City, Utah. They have the best wings in the nation !

J. Timothy's Taverne in Plainville, CT has awesome wings. They also offer "dirt wings" which are tossed in sauce, cooked, and tossed in sauce again. It's an old stagecoach stop from the 1700's so it has tons of ambience. Some wings, chowder, a Harpoon Winter Warmer and I'm in heaven.

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!
