OT Best Wings in CT

[Ewekon]

Black Duck Westport still does it right and they are big.....not drumettes. Been doing it same way for decades.

I have vegetarian friends

This explains a lot

Not wing-related, but Black Duck was my hangout when I used to work w/i walking distance of the place. Having not been there since the 90s, did they ever remodel the place to level the canted corridor to the bathrooms? Walking down that corridor to hit the head always made me feel drunker than I was due to the tilt. Kinda like a cheap funhouse attraction.

They cleaned it up 7 or 8 years ago but left the tilt. Change comes there at a glacial pace.

In order:

1. J. Timothy's
2. Dew Drop Inn (surprised to only see one other mention this)
3. Sliders
4. Archie Moore's

In that case, I'm revoting for Archie Moores. They do a quintessential Buffalo wing and it's never been less than great for me over decades.

Agreed. They have it down and have been doing it right for decades.

Tipping Chair in Southington does a great job too. Small place but great food and live music.

Ray, Rip....oh sorry!

Preference of Flats/Wings vs. Drums/Legs? Team flats here.

And props to the restaurants that allow you to order all of one or the other (w/o charging extra). Although it’s a price I am willing to pay.

New Archies opening soon on Main St in Branford. Should be very well received.

I prefer the flats, but I still like having some drumettes to mix it up. If I could choose, I’d do a 2/3 1/3 split.

Tried to post to an old thread but it was closed.

Figured that I would give an update to some of the comments in the old wing thread. My son requested we go to Bidwell Tavern yesterday after UConn tour and meetings in business school etc. We got the hot buffalo and the teriyaki wings. Wings were dry and lacked taste. The buffalo had no heat. Finger licking/wiping was definitely not necessary.

Several years ago I would have argued that Bidwell was the standard bearer for wings. Sadly, cannot say that anymore.

Best wings in CT were Ray, Rip and Caron.

Daveluys in Watertown!

J Tim's hard 1, Pippa's and TK's in Danbury also great. Archie Moore's also solid
