All you can eat (made to order)

Some of the lower scoring (especially with prep) might stem from the fact that it was all you can eat night – but if you’re gonna do something, do it well. That said, the wings are a good size because they are full wings. So, b/c the cooks seemed to be lazy and instead of tossing the wings it looks like an arbitrary amount of sauce is just dumped over the top of the wings. The hot sauce seems to be simple F&B and some pepper. Standard wing sauce for the most part.

Order 12 suicide

What a smell when this showed up. A hint of bbq sauce but nice heat. Visible seeds. Yum, let's eat.

Wow. Just wow. Nice plump size, some of these are making me wonder what chicken these came from they are so big. King Kong chicken. The flavor and sauce is light. Not a heavy soupy sauce, more lean but damn good. The heat is there and it hangs with, but not in an efffort to kill you. It's almost as If these wings are saying this is gonna hurt a little bit, but stay with me.

Cooked perfectly with a crisp outside and moist inside. It's wings like this that make me happy to be alive. Yeah, I think these wings could talk a suicide jumper down off a ledge, they are that good.

The Shack

The wings show up and I can appreciate the full wings. However, they are a bit small and sauce is lightly applied, but I'm hungry, lets eat.

As expected, they are small, but cooked very well. Plenty of crunch with a nice juicy inside. The sauce is more a typical frank and red hot type sauce, average across the board.

While I should be out inspecting beaches here, I'm out eating wings because that is what I love in life. Not that these let me down, but I was hoping for so much more. But at least it was sunny and warm out, I think I'm in the mood to let it slide.

A good size and well made hot wing – nothing extravagant or over the top, but well prepped and good flavor – a solid fighter.

When this order showed up, it’s like “Holy Shit”, it’s a huge order of wings. And how about this, it’s breaded, though just lightly dusted. Fried perfectly, though with a garlic salt seasoning on the outside, but the chicken is juicy inside. You lose a taste point because the wings are dry, no sauce. But they give you a bottle of Saracha which complements the seasoning on the wings really well. Damn tasty for a more non-traditional wing. A must eat!

Quaker Steak and Lube

101 Chestnut St Sharon, PA


Order: Compact Bucket of Supercharged and Buckeye BBQ

You can smell the heat in the supercharged right off the bat. This is going to be good. The wings are of pretty average size and fried crisp to perfection. You lose a point here because it seemed the wings at the bottom are sauced less than those on top. They might apply sauce with a spray bottle. Tastewise, the supercharged is packing some heat – more flavor than just plain heat, but not perfect. But, they should be proud. The BBQ is good too and offers a good 1-2 punch with the supercharged. Best Wing USA, they claim, maybe not. But a nice toasty wing; there are a few Quaker Steak locations, but I really recommend a trip to the original in Sharon, PA.

Big Shot Bob’s (Pittsburgh, PA)


Talk about a turnaround since they first started. Their dinky wing size has been replaced by a better than average wing. Prep is crispy, but you can tell they just dump the sauce on instead of tossing them because not every wing gets sauce. The talk of beaver falls is really good; hottest of the hot not nearly as hot as the first visit, but still some good hot homemade sauce. Not just hot to be hot, well made. Mix hottest of the hot with the talk of beaver falls for a great combo – the PB&J of wing sauces.
