Nine-Eleven Tavern, Adolf's Old First Ward, Anchor Bar
My wife and I along with a best friend did a quick trip to Buffalo yesterday just for wings. We flew in Saturday morning and went on a spree. We had a blast not only getting wings, but hitting some neighborhood dives, eating sponge chocolate, and finishing with a comedy show. Definitely recommend a quick day trip for wings fans. In order of my favorite first:
Nine eleven: Ordered hot, along with fries. Absolutely amazing, though could be hotter. I loved the fries, great with vinegar.
Adolfs: Hot honey Cajun. The wings were very crunchy and super juicy. I wasn't happy with my choice in sauce, I look forward to returning and trying other sauces. The home made blue cheese is everything everyone raves about. Reminded me of a thick garlic sauce.
Anchor Bar: medium classic buffalo. we wanted to try this spot first, and we had limited expectations. I really wanted to compare the often reported mediocre Anchor bar wings to what I typically get here in Detroit. They were way better than what I find at home, also I enjoyed the sauce. The wings were definitely not prepared as well as Adolf's or nine eleven. I probably will not go here again.
We definitely will go back.
