I am looking for good buffalo chicken wings similar to what the anchor bar is famous for. I have been to Sun Tavern, but have not found there wings to be anything to shake a stick at and Hooters is nice but they bread their wings which is not the true style of buffalo wings. Any suggestions would be great. I am new to the area so its hard to now where to go i.e. sports bars etc... Thanks Aaron Wed Nov 08 00:52:21 -0800 2006 23221 ahoward 1 2005740 I'm not sure how close you are to Princeton and I'm unfamiliar with the style of wings served at Anchor Bar, but Chuck's in Princeton has excellent wings. I haven't been there in a number of years, but my father used to get a huge order of them on Sundays during football season and they were always great. Here's a review from the Princeton University newspaper - http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2001/04/26/arts/3067.shtml Wed Nov 08 15:39:51 -0800 2006 2004814 22167 SarahEats 2 2006293 thanks for the suggestion.. Wed Nov 08 18:45:37 -0800 2006 2005740 23221 ahoward 1 2005994 In Monmouth county, I have yet to find any more decent than Jack's in West Long Branch. They are really a rib house and mostly a Monmouth University bar and hangout, but they do make the best wings in the area. I posted a similar thread here recently asking other folks for their favorites, but got maybe one reply - maybe it's my virtual breath from all those garlic wings? ;o) Wed Nov 08 17:12:59 -0800 2006 2004814 16028 seal 2 2385116 I second the vote for Jack's. It's actually in West End, a neighborhood in Long Branch. Wed Mar 14 11:42:42 -0700 2007 2005994 69779 fershore 1 2382927 There's a Pizzeria Uno (or Uno's now, I think) on Rt. 1 in Edison, NJ. I get them at least once a week, ask for them crispy. The bartender knows me, so he has them add the sauce to the wings then puts them in the over or oil again. The best around. Plus, they have Happy Hour from 3-7:00pm at most of them. $2.99 gets you 6 wings! Tue Mar 13 18:29:38 -0700 2007 2004814 82574 jethro 1 2383931 Cluck U across the street from the Monmouth Mall has amazing wings. They are breaded but they are delicious. I'd reccomend getting french fries smothered in sauce as well. Go with either Atomic or Nuclear sauce. Wed Mar 14 06:43:06 -0700 2007 2004814 73294 FoodDude2 1 2384430 The closest to Anchor Bar wings I ever had in NJ was at the old Ground Round in East Brunswick. I gave up long ago looking for good ones and learned to just make them myself. I will admit I had some that came from the frozen section at Costco that were pretty good though. Wed Mar 14 09:06:27 -0700 2007 2004814 77397 Eric in NJ 1 2388178 DEFINITELY CHUCKS, ON 33 IN hAMILTON Thu Mar 15 08:37:52 -0700 2007 2004814 64949 nyebaby37 1 2430228 Jack's wings are great, but if you are looking for something a little south of there try Simko's in Brielle. Wed Mar 28 16:00:37 -0700 2007 2004814 86762 njhound 1 3207383 You have to try Chuck's Spring Street Cafe in Princeton, the wings are unbelievable!!!! Try the FF too. Fri Dec 14 07:05:24 -0800 2007 2004814 149992 wingman321 2 3208141 507 Main in Belmar makes a pretty authentic wing. They offer several variations, as well. If you're ok with heat, the Asian Sriracha Sauce wings are excellent. Fri Dec 14 10:49:25 -0800 2007 3207383 141889 MGZ 3 3268261 I gotta say on this reco I had the grilled Sriracha wings at 507 the other day and they were just awesome. They were also HUGE. These were no free range chickens, they probably took more steroids than Roger Clemens but I really enjoyed them. Sun Jan 06 19:49:05 -0800 2008 3208141 127821 retrovertigo 1 3208629 actually, down the street from 507 Main is the Boathouse on Main St. in Belmar (same owners but original as 507 is relatively new). The Boathouse wings excellent and offered fried or grilled with several sauce choices... not breaded. By the way, the Anchor Bar in Buffalo does not bread its wings (last I was there, at least), so anyone making breading wings are not making authentic Buffalo wings, tasty or otherwise. Fri Dec 14 12:59:46 -0800 2007 2004814 30139 aklein 1 3208857 Bucket of wings at Mugs in Raritan. Fri Dec 14 13:59:43 -0800 2007 2004814 150109 princessgirl 2 3209511 I'm going to my sister's in Bridgewater for New Years, so going to give Mugs in Raritan a shot. Thanks, princess! Fri Dec 14 18:49:23 -0800 2007 3208857 82574 jethro 3 3261330 Jethro, Did you ever try those wings? If so, what did you think? Fri Jan 04 12:18:34 -0800 2008 3209511 150109 princessgirl 4 3267711 Actually, it seemed as though everybody was sick on New Years so I wound up not doing much. I plan on seeing her & her family soon & will get the wings from there & let you know. Thanks for following up! Sun Jan 06 16:25:06 -0800 2008 3261330 82574 jethro 1 3211778 Get the originals from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo http://www.anchorbar.com/index.asp My son ordered them last year for the Super Bowl and they were pretty good, but quite frankly, Chucks in Hamilton Twp. were better. Sat Dec 15 21:37:22 -0800 2007 2004814 131082 TomDel 2 3212095 TomDel - Where is this Chuck's in Hamilton? I live in East Windsor & would love to try them. You don't mean the Chuck's in Princeton, do you? I can't seem to find Chucks in Hamilton when doing a phone book search. Sun Dec 16 05:43:34 -0800 2007 3211778 82574 jethro 3 3212398 I’m not big wings fan so I haven’t been to Chucks lately. They’re located at 950 Route 33 between Paxon Ave. and Deerwood Dr. The Post Office has only recently recognized Hamilton. Chucks is listed as Trenton. I think it’s close to where the Cooper Cycle Ranch and latter Robotics were located. My son and wife are wings connoisseurs and both say they are the best. I'd call first to make sure they're still there and open (609) 588-0088. Sun Dec 16 08:53:08 -0800 2007 3212095 131082 TomDel 4 3354799 I've eaten wings all around the country. None are better than Chucks. Fri Feb 01 05:17:13 -0800 2008 3212398 162513 BigPops51 3 3363215 Across from the Acme Plaza; in the same strip as the "Poorboys" sandwich shop. Had some Saturday, 2-2-08, for the 1st time in a couple of years. They are good. Mon Feb 04 08:38:13 -0800 2008 3212095 163228 mchametzky 1 3212549 The best Buffalo wings I've had in Jersey are at Basil's Lambchop house on route 33 near turnpike exit 8 (oddly they're not on the website menu but they are on the dine-in menu) http://basilslegends.com/ Also try the maple horseradish wings. Sun Dec 16 09:51:30 -0800 2007 2004814 77259 Paul N 2 4888841 isn't that in a days inn motel? i stayed at that motel for 2 months, but i never at there, is it any good? Fri Jul 24 19:58:23 -0700 2009 3212549 1096508 candylover96 3 4908570 Yeah. The chops and steaks can get a little pricey, but stuff life burgers and wings are good and reasonable. Sat Aug 01 07:06:08 -0700 2009 4888841 77259 Paul N 1 3269177 If only it were 15 years earlier....Willies Wings in New Brunswick........... Mon Jan 07 07:55:44 -0800 2008 2004814 155369 RPMcMurphy 1 3320259 Been a wing fan for years and have found few that match up to Chuck's Spring Street Cafe in Princeton. Tue Jan 22 09:07:53 -0800 2008 2004814 43087 ariw99 2 3320337 I live in western NY now (Rochester) but grew up in Trenton so I can speak on this topic. I've had Chucks in Princeton and also in Ewing Twp ( I think it is a Chuck's). The biggest difference between WNY buffalo wings and Chuck's is the size. In WNY the wings are usually pretty good sized ( but the sauce in unpredicatable in terms of coating (some places the sauce has disappeared and I have to make up my combo of Frank's and butter and coat them myself) Chuck's have good heat and sauce but they are usually tiny in size compared to WNY wings. I tend to like the bigger, meatier wings found in WNY then Chuck's. But, I believe Chuck's is the only wings I have had in Central NJ. Tue Jan 22 09:25:07 -0800 2008 3320259 80323 rochfood 3 3356140 The best wings are at OutBack. They have a coating that is almost like, but not quite, a breading and the sauce is cooked right into it. Fri Feb 01 11:12:56 -0800 2008 3320337 113363 hotfoodhot 4 4874012 Outback does BREAD their wings. After they fry them they spin them in a cambro with thier signature hot sauce. I used to like them but they are not traditional. Mon Jul 20 09:36:38 -0700 2009 3356140 152115 rockweed 1 3583725 Has anyone tried the World of Wings (WOW) Cafe franchise? new one in Metuchen. Pictures on the website look good, but I haven't been there yet. Fri Apr 11 07:05:50 -0700 2008 2004814 127252 smting 1 3603103 hotfoodhot - Outback wings are very good but not my idea of a traditional buffalo wing with hot sauce/tabasco TO me the best wing is made with a simple sauce of tabasco and butter. So simple and so good but seldom can anyone properly execute this simple treat. I noticed a small place in a small strip between a storage place and the modern design furniture store on 9 South in Manalapan. I beleive it's called Wing Man or Wing Guy. It looks like a real small palce and could easily be missed Anyone ever try this? Thu Apr 17 06:35:25 -0700 2008 2004814 38432 angelo04 1 4874024 Basil T's in Red Bank has some extremely delicious wings. I've never been to Buffalo so I can't compair them to Anchor Bar, but I believe the sauce is traditional and the wings are always VERY meaty. They serve up delicious homebrews to accompany their wings as well. Mon Jul 20 09:40:06 -0700 2009 2004814 152115 rockweed 1 4874199 My go to wing spot is Memphis Pig Out. Large, meaty & spicy. Also a lice crisp exterior, not slimy or sticky. Mon Jul 20 10:33:19 -0700 2009 2004814 172765 equal_Mark 2 4874379 Memphis Pig Out is located where?
