Let’s get beers. 

I can’t do a ton of wings any more either.  10 is more than enough. 

Did you say Beers !

I eat about five at a go.

 

But my buddy who has been to both Bar Bills locations tell the carved Beef is the sht.
and he would know.

 

So I expect to get over there soon. 10 minute drive for me

Actually, I believe those artists are the problem. Wings don’t need to be re-invented by the Wing Picassos of the world. The real deal is so simple and yet they find ways to screw it up. 
Use fresh good quality poultry. 
Deep fry in clean oil.

Properly drain excess oil for a minute to get crisp

Franks and butter

Sauce liberally. They don’t need a bath. 
Don’t close the wings up in an unvented container so they get soggy. 
 

or if you want to be Michelangelo, dump the oil dripping wings into a half gallon of Tabasco sauce mixed with Blue Bonnet margarine and red pepper flakes for heat. While still steaming, seal in a Tupperware container until ready to eat , then serve the rubbery mess with ranch dressing.  You could be a regular Jackson Polack! 

Keep it simple. But all those details need to be nailed. Hence my comment "art form"
Did not mean wings should be expressionist art  LOL

I get the smallest order which is usually 5 or 6 wings. I usually have one or two leftover. 

 

I went to lunch with a buddy at a pizza place. I usually just get a slice and I’m good. He wanted to try the wings, so I suggested the smallest order, I’d be good with one or two, max. Fast forward: we ordered 20, I had two and he ate the rest….plus his pizza. I couldn’t have done that on a bet! 

When i was young ? I would have also eaten  a medium Italian oil and dressing assorted on a toasted roll. For lunch.

 and hungry by dinner

 and i have weighed under 180 my whole life.

 No longer
Thats a weeks worth of dinner  LOL

 and a heart attack by thursday  HA HA

Yes that is why I have started making my own.

 

Get large wings from the grocery store.

 

Put them on tin foil with Pam.

 

Sprinkle liberaly with salt, pepper, garlic powder and Frank's wings sauce.

 

425 for 30 minutes. 

 

After 30 minutes take them out, flip them. More salt pepper, garlic powder and Frank's wing sauce.

 

Put them back in for 15 min.

 

These are poor man's wings

hell yes.  Although, I do mine in the air fryer.

I am buying you an air fryer when we win the SB

Send me your address at that point in PM

I am serious.

 

But yes

 I really had the the Deep fryer method and fresh cut wings thing down to a science. I dont have it anymore for multiple reasons
Very satisfying though. Very

Bar Bill has the west wings I’ve had .  I had the Cajun honey wings & beef on weck. My wife’s not really a huge fan of either and she loved the wings. We went back 3 days later on her request. That’s one big compliment to the BB wings.😀

there's on opening soon in rochester too.  i hope it's somewhat close the the quality of the buffalo location.  they had an anchor bar here for a while that did not go so well.

New Bar Bill was a former McGregors.  Can’t be any worse that that dump

they had a good one years ago (their first?) on Mt Hope formerly Lunds restaurant.  Then they had one on Gregory street (formerly Doc’s Pump House) which was good too.  I think they overexpanded to the point where Covid wiped them out.

And as to the person asking why it isn’t decked out in bills memorabilia…

 

it’s really not a Bills bar… it’s a restaurant named after a guy named Bill

I seriously dont see the hype for BarBill- I went once- won't go again completely overhyped place- grew up eating wings and wouldn't rank the place in the top 10

Care to share some of your top 10? I’ve never been to Bar Bill but hope to visit on my next trip. Always looking for good options. 

 

When I lived in WNY there was a little house on the east side of Transit around East Amherst. Rosy’s or something? It’s been gone forever I’m sure, but when I think of my favorite wings, I think of that place.

According to this article, it looks like it’s opening in Rochester on Friday, July 7th!

 

Also, pretty cool that the opening is getting attention on yahoo.
 

Go Bills! Go Bar-Bill!

Mighty Taco and Duff's failed here, now it's Bar Bill's turn.  Rochester ain't Buffalo, there's no concept of going until 4AM on the weekends.  Pizza places close at 11PM here.  The only place to get food in Rochester after midnight is Denny's and the 24-hour drive through at Burger King.  Rochester sucks for restaurants and bars.

I’m a little worried about that too.  Graveyard locations are a real thing. And while many know about the greatness of Bar Bill, I wonder if that popularity exists in Rochester.  
 

Regardless, I will be there the second week of August and go many times

I'll probably avoid the first few days as it'll be mobbed but looking forward to going soon.

I didn't know that The Mighty opened there, I can see why that may have failed, but Duff's was a little bit of a surprise.  I do think that lockdowns had a whole lot to do with it.  

 

MacGregor's at this location did well, not sure why they closed it other than that it occurred during lockdowns.  It's a big place.  

 

If I had to guess, Bar Bill will do fine there.
