| - Mediocre, dry and chewy on the inside and more skin than meat! I went to the Duff's on college 2 years ago and thought it was pretty good, so I visited this location expecting the same. It was a huge disappointment. Not even "good." The wings were incredibly overcooked and dry. And there was more crusty skin on the wings than actual meat. And this was on an early Saturday - not cheap Tuesdays. Add to that a dismal and pricey beer menu, the lack of ANY carrot sticks (just celery, folks - couldn't fork out the extra 20 cents for carrots) and it's just a waste of time. I could barely choke down my first dry, chewy wing so I asked for a fresh batch - which also came in about 5 minutes. The drumettes were more moist, but the wings themselves remained dry and unappealing. I think the wings are precooked and tossed back into the fryer at the last minute. The wings came out way too fast for them to be cooked fresh. The two guys I went with were happy with their wings, but most men aren't that picky when it comes to fried meat and beer. The only good thing was the sweet potato fries, but the dipping sauce was gross (and I normally love chipotle mayo).
I'm starting to really wonder about diners in this city. Is this the best you expect? This is not a 5 star experience. The wings are drenched in sauce, there's no choice on how to get them done (breaded, plain, skinless, grilled,baked or fried). These are just FRIED, skin on, dry, horrible wings - leave your choices and expectations at the door. The wings at Philthy McNasty's are better - and I hate that place! I'm going to stop using Yelp if I keep having disappointing experiences at places with such high ratings.
