I loved Bdubs when I first had them visiting Dallas. We found some in CA en route from our snowboarding runs were happy to stop by on the way home. When they finally came to town (within walking distance) they were good but the last couple years, not so much. The wings got smaller, the prices went up and the service sucked.

Wingstop wasn't very local either but we had them a few times and they were good too, except when they opened across the street recently, the wings were small and the flavors were not nearly as good as we remembered.

The good thing about Wingstop coming to town is, it appears Bdubs wings are getting bigger again and I prefer their sauces over Wingstop.

Wegmans, order them fresh, not from the wing bar.

Foster's Grill, Greene Turtle would be my top 3 for chains.

Overcooked and half the size or smaller what a real chicken wing is. If you're going to give me toothpick wings, sell them to me by weight, not count. And then take them out about 45 seconds earlier, goddamnit.

That one place we ate wings was pretty.good, especially when I ate two berkeleying pounds of wings whilst pounding sum king oatmeal stouts. I liked that place. Could a used some heat, but the flavor was on point.

Those rumors appear to be the set-up to an old joke.

Farmer: To get more meat on my chickens, I've bred a new variety with eight legs and six wings.

Visitor: So, what do they taste like?

Farmer: I don't know. They run so fast I can't catch them.

Dominos and Pizza Hut are far from the best but they do make some competitive wings to most chains

This thread had me craving wings last night strongly enough to order them at the boring old fogies' restaurant where we have our car club meetings. They were... acceptable; not quite crispy enough and their "hot" was approximately equivalent to most places' "mild".

My new favorite is wednesday night - $0.25 wings and $2 Long islands at a campus bar. Wings are pretty decent but the sauces could use work.

The wings used to be $0.15

Quaker Steak is definitely good. I just tried Raising Cane's this past weekend for the first time, but not sure how big of a chain they are. (West Chester just opened, and I went to one in Columbus.)

Pretty sure chain, wing and best don't belong in the same sentence.

yeah BWW started here, they sucked then and they suck now. quaker steak is fine if you like food poisoning and diarrhea from undercooked wings.

most chain wings leave me sad.

Applebee's used to be my favorite, then the local locations took a steep dive and I haven't been back. Now it's Pizza Hut or nothing. Then again I only ever order garlic and parm or honey bbq and they have to be boneless, so there's a chance I actually know nothing on the subject

My wife likes Hooter's wings. I have to look lovingly in her eyes the whole time we are there!

My favorites are Wal-Mart deli andstrip mall cChinese joints. All of them look the same and serve the same thing, so it might as well be considered a chain.

The Wing Zone down the street (assuming it's a chain) has good stuff as well, and super fast delivery.
