The food here is garbage. I mean literal garbage. I ordered a chicken tender sub, the bread was so stale that I literally threw it in the trash.Chicken tender undercooked inside, thus the entire meal besides the fries were trash. I am not a complainer, so instead of complaining, I tried something else on another visit- wings, as their name suggest. Really...frozen wings? Red on the inside? Sauce only covering half the wings? I have had better wings from places that do not even have the word "wing" in their name.
Only reason I gave it two stars and not one is the drink specials, $2 Hard teas (a personal favorite) and a friendly Russian bartender who was excellent when I visited. However due to lack of food quality, I will never be back.
Good divey place and the large formica counter top at the bar is greattttt!!!!! Behind it Maria and the spunky Blonde whose name eludes me.
Good place bar seats about 10 and has tables that seat another 20-30. Sunday nite crowd was small but filled the place up watching NCAAs. Â
Friend has steak salad which looked decent and it was a good size!
I'll be back!!!!
So I just give got some carry out from here and the place and food really sucked. Â I phoned in and the lady was really nice and helpful. Â I asked her about the "Hen" sauce and she said it was pretty hot. Â So I got half Hen and half Sweet & Tangy. Â I only live less then five minutes down the street so they didn't get soggy. Â As soon as I bit into the Hen wings...I was like WTF?! These aren't spicy at all! It was just tangy. Â The Sweet and Tangy wings were alright, I had my sister try both wings and we both agreed they weren't bad but they also weren't good...the wings were very bland. I do intend to go back and give them a second shot because I would like to try their hotter sauces. Â I doubt I would ever go in there to actually eat. Â It's very dark and dingy inside. Â When I went in there was a mom and couple of kids sitting at a table and a couple of people at the bar drinking some beers at 1 in the afternoon. Â So the only time I'd eat again is through carry-out.
Review Source:Bottom line: good wings, overpriced, dive bar setting with tons of TVs, but they rip you off on the drinks. Â $1 for water?!?!?!?! Â No refills on soda!?!?!? C'mon, Ira, Is this the 1980's?? Â Loosen up a little! Â
I've eaten buffalo wings around the country and around the world (note: good buffalo wings are really hard to find outside of the US!!). Â I've ventured to mecca (aka Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY - meh, after all that hype!), and been to pretty much every buffalo wing place in the DC region.
5 stars for the wings! Â Buffalo Wings and Beer (BWB) has one of the best traditional buffalo wings in the area, hands down. Â I like the "Cock of the Walk" which is labeled xHot - and a non-breaded fried wing that is tossed in sauce. Â The wings are meaty and big, and have the right proportion of meat to sauce; Wingstop wings for example can be too small, sometimes overpowering your mouth, as there's not enough meat to counter balance the sauce.
Great selection of beers! Â Any establishment with Sierra Nevada on tap gets my thumbs up.
Now the downside is price: 2lbs for $13, or $15 if you want "specialty sauce." Â I counted about 15 wings in our 2lb order, so that comes out to roughly $1 / wing. Â As mentioned above, the wings are meaty and you get more meat for your buck vs. Wingstop, Buffalo Wild Wings, etc. Â But this is definitely on the high side.
To add insult to injury, they slam you on drinks. Â Of course if your beverage of choice is beer, you pay as you go (i.e., no refills). Â But sometimes you want a water or coke on the side to wash down the chicken, and you have to pay as you go for what should be free refills. Â A coke for $2, and then refills for $2? Â The cost on that coke to start is $0.05. Â What does it cost to bring your patron a glass of water? Â Nothing. Â But they only sell bottled water for $1. Â Understandable at a french restaurant where they ask if you want "sparkling, or still." Â But c'mon, this is a dive bar in a strip mall!! Â
Again, the wings are very, very good. Â Highly recommended, but for take-out only.
Ira, please reconsider your soft drinks and water policy!!
It's football season! Â Football is about chili, buffalo wings, and beer. Â If you want award national award winning wings, really good fries, chili, beer, and enough sports, including baseball, basketball, UFC mixed martial arts and, of course, football, all live and recorded, on enough screens to keep your head spinning, not mention great waitresses, then you gotta check out eponymously named Buffalo Wings and Beer.
As friend Roy wrote, "There is an abundant variety of sauces, heat levels, and combinations for every taste and the rest of the menu is not too shabby either." Â My fave is the wasabi terriyaki wings; they're Spicy enough, and not too sweet, they're unbelievable! But my second favorite, the the Cajun wings with "Cock of the Walk" spicy sauce on the side are also amazing! Â You can choose from a half dozen other suggested combination, or make up your own combination from the eighteen basic sauces that are listed on the huge menu.
This gets an average rating simply due to the fact that it is a wing place whose weakest menu item is the wings. We started with the cheese stick app which was pretty good, not your usual oily, overbreaded, far too chewy TMD inducing mozzarella sticks. They use Monterrey Jack which is a nice change. My daughter had a bacon cheese burger which was cooked exactly to order with bun, meat and toppings very fresh. My wife had the buffalo chicken wrap which is the approximate size of a fat baby's head. Again fresh ingredients and not too complex. I had the wings much to my chagrin. The wings themselves are cooked very well; however, the sauces are thin and anemic and barely stick to the actual wing. If the idea is to have a sauce that merely hints at the flavor for which it is named while not actually embodying said flavor, mission accomplished. The bleu cheese dressing is low fat. What? Is there a point to this? Most low fat items (this dressing is no exception) are weak and have no business in such establishments unless being used for the sole purpose of irony. Deep fried Twinkies for dessert. Average. Let's not lose sight of the fact that it is a Twinkie that is deep fried. The service was good, and I will more than likely come back at some point in time just not for the wings. In order to get THE best wings one must travel to Buffalo, and let's face it.....NO chicken wing is worth THAT trip!!!!!
Review Source:My friend found a coupon for buy a pound of wings get a second pound of wings half price. Â According to whoever answered the phone, the stipulation was that the second pound had to be the same flavor as the first. Â Not a big deal. Â The last time we tried the rooster (hot) sauce and it wasn't spicy enough. Â This time we went with cock of the walk (hotter). Â Apparently "hotter" means less hot on this scale. Â Fail. Â We salvaged the sauce by pouring it into a bowl and adding a hot pepper we found somewhere in the back of my friend's fridge. Â Bless you random fridge pepper and the capsaicin that flowed within you. Â We also got the garlic fries which were fries sprayed down with garlic salt. Â They were ok but definitely not worth the extra 50 cents over the regular fries. Â Overall, not as good as the first time. Â We'll see what happens the next time.
Review Source:Wings here are fantastic. Â They are however, quite expensive. Â For the "awesome" sauced wings, it's about 7-8 bucks for a lb.
The wings have a wonderful crisp crunch to them when you bite down, while at the same time being drenched in wonderful sauces. Â (Unlike many other places wings which always seem to be soggy)
Something to note: You can get the wing sauces on many of the chicken entrees, such as the chicken fingers, the sub's, the wraps, etc. Â If you don't like wings, but love their sauces (or have an issue with eating off the bone), you can still enjoy the meals here!
Oh and the spiciest sauce there isn't "insane cock sauce," it's the coffin. Â Beware! Â Also keep in mind there is a huge difference in overall hotness between the xxx hot sauce, and the xx hot sauce. Â The xxx hits you like a freight train. Â The xx allows you to eat all the wings.
I haven't tried the coffin yet, but supposedly it's mouth numbing.
Best chicken wings in the area. Hands down. Nothing else even comes close. Been going to BWB for at least 10-years and I won't eat any other wings. Don't see anything you like on the menu (impossible..but still)? Ask them to make whatever you like and chances are, THEY'LL DO IT. Friendly wait staff and an owner (Ira) who treats you like you are a guest in his own house. New locations are popping up everyday, all with the same winning menu, but nothing ever beats the original. Have a craving for wings? Stop by...you won't be disappointed. Head there on a Wednesday night and you may just see my handsome mug, ponying up to a basket of Old Bay Garlic fries and POUNDS of Rooster/Teriyaki wings.
Review Source:I love old bay. Â I love hot sauce. Â I love chicken wings. Â I love that BWB's has old bay hot sauce chicken wings. Â They are quite tasty. Â Since it is a bar, it can get quite noisy. Â I can imagine it would be fun to go there and watch a football game, drink beer and eat wings, but thats not my scene, so I prefer take out. Â Three and a half stars for awesome wings and good take out.
