I've heard about this place my ENTIRE life and was finally able to make the trip. This place is always on those "Best Wings in Chicago" lists. I can't think of a wing that fails to live up to the hype like these. I've had comparable wings at Wing Stop.
I do love a spot that has RC products.
I ordered the single order, spicy buffalo wings. I got the TINIEST chicken pieces (picture for reference). I hate when places do this because I'm more than happy to pay for quality wings. The wings were solidly fried and could have been crispier, but that's nitpicky. Each wing was literally one bite. I did appreciate that the wings weren't super fatty pieces, which you usually get with those tiny wings.
The sauce. Holy butter. The spicy wasn't spicy at all. I think maybe they gave me the mild by mistake. This stuff was so buttery that it lost the signature Frank's vinegar punch I look for in Buffalo Wings.
Overall, I am shocked that this place has this legendary status. It feels like they might be living off their reputation from years ago. In a city filled with great wings, I see no reason to make the trip out there when I can get fast-food wings at Papa Rays.
