Many of my family members say they are their favorite. I heard their Beef on Weck is stellar as well. I will be heading there when I come to town for a game in November. I usually find Anchor Bar too saucy and Duffs crispy and not over sauced. We have a Duffs in the Atlanta area now too, which is a huge bonus. If you don't prefer the "big 3", which ones are your favorite. (p.s., I agree that Anchor Bar is for tourists) I never had Bar-Bill BoW, but it looked good in the video. I highly recommend the Glen Park Tavern on Main Street in Williamsville for their beef. Spectacular. Wings are pretty good, too. A couple of my favorite wing joints have closed down. Tally Ho in Niagara Falls (no relation to Rick's Tally Ho) was fabulous. But the best may have been Rootie's pub, near the UB Amherst campus. Their very available 2-4-1 coupons didn't hurt, either. Mr Dee's has always been a place that had, not the best, but damn good wings and BoW. Had both in July, and they weren't quite as good as they had been in the past. Could have just been a bad day. I'll have to try again. In the same category as Dee's (and Glen Park) was Mister Bills, which recently closed I heard. Too bad. That was a good place, too. Great pre-post airport run places to stop.

BillsFanNC Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Disagree. The Gate and Bar Bill are 1 and 1A 2. Duff's 3. Anchor Bar. Edited August 22, 2019 by BillsFanNC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helpmenow Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Grew up in east aurora and the bar-bill on Tuesday at one time buy one get one. Never happen now at the tourist stop There are other places in east aurora folks. Wally’s and tony Rome’s are really good. I swear the owner now pays for the publicity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good reviews. I usually stay the first night or two at the Hampton Inn right there. I’m not sure if I’ve had the wings at Glen Park Tavern, but I like the joint. I’ll try the wings for the opener. I also go to the Creekside/Creekview right there because it feels like home. The name and owners have changed, but I went there often as a kid. Several other places nearby in stumbling distance.

The last time I was there was February 2018. Was still about the same. I like to stop in if I'm in the neighborhood. My friend worked there when it was the Creekside and they carved the beef behind the bar. By the time I worked there it was the Creekview. Early 80's I'm guessing.

I don’t remember carving the beef behind the bar. Honestly, I go back more for the nostalgia than the quality these days. Last year I left the airport and drove straight to Schwabl’s. Delightful!

HopsGuy Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I’ve made baked wings at home using Alton Brown’s “The Wing & I” method. You have to steam them first, chill, then bake on high. They come out pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I’ve always thought Duffs was the best. What’s wild is how large and meaty wings have become. Back on the $.10 wing days there was really no meat. Hormones and good knows what else have turned wings into monsters these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
