Windjammers Restaurant

My server was very abrupt and inattentive & the food (just chicken wings) took an hour to come. However, it was delicious and I love their dry rubs.

This hidden gem in Rochester is worth a visit. I have been here many times and have never been disappointed. The wings are probably among the best in Rochester. More than 20 choices of wet sauce or dry rub, the ability to split them up in batches to sample the various toppings, and so many flavors. I highly recommend the wet cajun and harbor style rub. The mac and cheese is homemade and to die for and was one of my staples after I got my wisdom teeth out last year. The best offering of Windjammer's??? The $2 beer shelf with a constantly rotating variety of micro brews. Recent finds: Brooklyn Chocolate Stout, Saranac Blueberry Blonde, Saranac Red IPA. Some nights there is great live music...some nights the 20 year olds stop in and crowd this townie bar after their kickball games. One thing you are always guaranteed to find there are some of the nicest folks in town!

You can get Buffalo wings anywhere in western New York but you can only get harbor wings at Windjammers! Harbor wings are a dry rubbed wing that are not Buffalo style (fried crispy and sauced) but they are really tasty! Some people like to dip the dry rub in Ranch dressing but I like it plain. They also make a Spanish style that is probably made with Puerto Rican Adobo (a garlic salt blend). If you really want Buffalo style you won't be disappointed either but as I said you can get that anywhere from here to the Peace Bridge. Monday and Tuesdays are cheap beer nights... $1 and $2 beers!

Note: I haven't eaten anything other than wings here.
