Every resturant that I go to that offers wings I have to try them. I know most people rave about Buffalo Wild Wings. I think those people have not experienced true wing flavor. Buffalo Joe's has the best flavor when it comes to wings. The suicide wings are the perfect balance of true flavor and spicyness. If you are a true wing lover you will definitely put Buffalo Joe's on the top of your list.
