Pony's

Incredible, unique wings for a great price. The only flaw is getting up to Middleport.

First and foremost, I will admit that this review may seem a bit biased. Why? Allow me to explain.

I absolutely love chicken wings. Can't get enough of them. However, I prefer my wings to be BREADED, which is a rarity (and downright blasphemous depending on where you go) in the WNY-area. When Hooters on Maple Road closed, I was heartbroken, as breaded wings were standard for them, you had to make a special request for them to be "naked," (the wings, not the waitresses).

So imagine the absolute delight and glee I experienced when walking into Pony's for the first time ever (about two years back, been back several times since). This place is a definite dive, through and through: bar and billiards up front, cheap tables and restrooms in the rear.

But I'm not hear to talk about the ambience-- I'm here to talk about the food. Their chicken wings come in a spicy (yet sweet) hot/medium/mild sauce, which is delicious. The breading is plentiful and crispy. Pony's has found that perfect balance between batter and meat--neither overpowers the other. I could go on for hours about how good they are so I'll be concise: they are absolutely addictive (as pointed out in an earlier review).

Prices are cheap and beer is your standard domestic variety. Pony's is located out past Lockport, but it's definitely worth the drive, especially if you prefer your wings breaded over naked.

If for some reason you find yourself out in the middle of no-where Middleport, or in the mood for a country drive, do yourself a favor, stop here and order some wings. It's basically a little dive bar but their wings are coated in some kind of batter and are simply amazing.
