The Wing In Review

The origin of the Buffalo Wing is unclear. There are four prevailing theories, three of which begin in local Buffalo, NY restaurants while the fourth theory has something to do with a mom looking for a fast snack for her kids. After just a few minutes of Internet research, I found the answer! Who cares – let’s just eat them and then let our Boston fans know where to get a good wing, and where to order the nachos instead.

First, some quick background information about Buffalo Wings. At their most basic, Buffalo Wings are deep fried chicken wings,  tossed in butter, vinegar and cayenne pepper. From there, restaurants can add spicier peppers, honey or other ingredients to differentiate their wings from the guy’s next door.

Now, let’s get down to business. Who has the Best Buffalo Wings in Boston? Sadly, we at Shandeh.com have spent more time in more bars eating more Buffalo Wings than is probably healthy. The good news is that you can use our artery-clogging gluttony as your guide to The Best Buffalo Wings in Boston!

Click on your favorite bar/restaurant below to see a definitive evaluation of their Buffalo Wings. We use the same judging criteria at each restaurant and go into the reviews with an open mind even if we’ve dined there before (which we invariably have). As time goes on we plan to grow the list of reviews until we either sample wings from every major bar and restaurant in Boston or, more likely, Sasso’s doctor gives him an ultimatum regarding his arteries. If you have any recommendations for us to check out, please let us know. If you disagree with any of the reviews, you’re wrong, but let us know anyway. We’re more than happy to defend our reviews.
