Gross, B-dubs is overrated in the wing category. You want really great wings in chicago. Birds Nest on southport has bar none the best tasting wings ive ever had.

Birds Nest on southport has bar none the best tasting wings ive ever had. I agree. My co-workers used to drag me into that place to get boneless wings on Thursdays. Absolutely disgusting, its like eating 95 percent bread with 5 percent meat, and all of their sauces taste the same. Disgusting. As for getting wings, I make my own. I havent really found any resteraunt that has blown me away, and I can make wings that taste just the same, whats the point in spending the extra money.

I'm not a wing expert(like Rock who is an expert on everything) but we had a great time - the place is fun and the sauces are interesting. The mango habanero was good - would be a fun spot to watch sports events - the joint was hopping. Not gourmet food but a fun place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AddisonStSox Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 If you're talking wings in Chicagoland, the discussion begins and ends with Buffalo Joe's in Evanston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joemg311 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Hooters has the best wings. They could be served by fat men in spedos and i would still go for the wings, but slightly less often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomSlowik Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I'm not exactly a wing expert, but I personally like BWW. Their wings are actually hot, which is more than I can say for a lot of places. Most of their milder sauces are less than impressive, but I like the ones that are "hot" and higher. The regular wings are a little light on the meat, but the boneless wings are decent, and if you go on Wednesdays the legs are awesome. It's definitely better than Hooters. Even their hottest sauce is a little milder than I'd like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been there twice and I'll never go again. By the way, fat men is speedos would be an upgrade compared to the cheesy trash I've seen working there. BW3 has good wings and Leona's aren't too bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 (edited) I prefer BWW Chicken Strips over their wings, and I almost always get the Hot sauce. I tried the blazin' before, and of course it was f***ing hot, but it didn't have a good taste to it which made it difficult to handle them. Back at school my roommates and I used to always get Joe's Brewery's wings. Edited March 10, 2006 by santo=dorf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hot sauce is really spicy, but has a good taste to it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is good...I've been wondering where the good places to go are here in the city. There were a couple of places I started getting into when I was going to school in Florida, but I really haven't gone looking here, and I want something other than bw 3 and hooters. More suggestions would be appreciated, North or South Side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were awesome as usual. Also kinkaides on armitage is good as well, surprisingly. There are many good spots in the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of places have lava temperature wings and what's the point? All you feel is the stinging pain, with no flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
