Stopped here once on the way home from a game. Not sure about the beef, but they were the best wings I've ever had. And I've had a lot of wings. If I ever stop here again I'll have to try the beef. Bar Bill is my "must go to" place when I go to a game. Awesome wings, awesome beef on weck and awesome service. All at very affordable prices. They are the best wings I've ever had, hands down.

Chesters is great! Terrible beer selection/drink selection in general, but their cajun food is mighty fine! I've almost tried every dish they have and they are all on point! Good call!

You seriously can't beat the price or the home cooking. I rarely get to go unless we are on the highway somewhere. I am boycotting Cracker Barrel until Brad's wife is re-hired

The Griffon Pub on Military Road in the Falls is terrific. Best poutine I've had outside of Canada. Love the Griffon..everything there is a good, and they usually have a Sour on tap!

Glad there's some fellow Chester's fans on this board I'm a northtowns guy so I'm not out that way frequently but I will make it a must stop during golf season after we go out for 19th hole suds and grub

I got "regular" hot wings but they added some special ingredients that ruin the whole thing. If I wanted weird wings I would order them. To me the key to wings is having a meaty portion that is fried so that the meat is still juicy but the skin is crisp and then just Franks and BUTTER, margarine is trash.

I think I like CB because I never grew up eating American cooking like that (parents are immigrants). Any time we ate out, it would be Ethnic foods or pizza. So eating chicken and dumplings and biscuits and chicken fried steak is an entirely new experience! We also have a couple of the rockers on the front porch. There's something naturally appealing about them.

I always just order "hot," and I think they're delicious. Each year, the waitress warns me, "Have you had the hot here before? Because they're very hot." I'm guessing they've gotten burned by people returning them because they're too hot for them? I always find the wings to have a perfect skin texture and the wings are always juicy and not over-sauced. Just Frank's and butter isn't my thing. I hate paying someone else to give me something I can make myself. I like their flavor a lot and the heat is perfect for me. Maybe I'm just getting lucky, but I'll continue to go until that changes.

They sell off the front of their retail place, and some of the chairs are fairly beat up on the back and places you wouldn't expect. We found one good one and one barely acceptable one. I almost made multiple trips to make it happen.

My daughter loves their Panini's, almost always gets one before her softball practice. Another nice feature is you can pay via their app on your phone so you don't have to expose a bank/credit card.

Now, they are under cover, but we have had for 2 years and look as good as the day we bought them

You are doing wings right gug! Don't let these naysayers trash the best wing in Buffalo (although a close second for me is Amherst ale house and a close third is Elmo's). They say the locals don't like it because it's always so busy, which leads to poor service. So these locals THINK there are other places in EA with just as good wings, but they are wrong and just fooling themselves and making themselves feel better about missing out on those great wings.

I have never been to Bar Bill...but what do they do for their sauce? Is it still a traditional Buffalo Wing sauce? Also, while technically easy to do wings at home, less I fry at home the better. Although I have found that if I simmer a decent size pot of white vingar and lemons next to the dutch oven, tends to keep the grease smell to a minimum

It's a gas station so expectations need to be tempered but it is a great one-stop-shop for people who drive a lot. Multiple kinds of decent coffee and creamers, bathrooms are always clean, a walk-in beer cooler that is always ice cold, more than edible subs and food, lotto vending machine and other things I have learned to appreciate. I don't want to hijack this thread with wawa talk but this was the only one mentioned that I could relate to. I wish I lived in western New York and could find good wings everywhere. You guys would be surprised how many people screw up buffalo wings down here. Edited April 21, 2017 by gatorbait

Totally agree. Wings are overrated. Since the original owner sold it, it's staffed by major league aholes.
