You see, Roosters wings are "lightly breaded." I know....tragic, right??? Or, maybe not.

Roosters Wing Review
I've visited Roosters a few times in the past and this time I decided to put a small taste test together.

Buffalo Wild Wings – Grill & Bar

Is Buffalo Wild Wings the largest national wing franchise? I’m not sure. A quick google search yielded a lot of info on franchises…but nothing that answered my question. It doesn’t matter anyway. The point is that Buffalo Wild Wings seems to be the largest national wing franchise. They are constantly expanding, building new restaurants, and their publicly traded stock has gone through the roof in the last year. If you spend even just a little bit of time online reading about hot, chicken, or buffalo wings…you eventually arrive at someone raving and recommending Buffalo Wild Wings. You’ll also see stories about people who don’t live near one wishing that they did. And you’ll hear tales of people road-tripping far from home just to try Buffalo Wild Wings. Well, I've finally got around to reviewing the big wing chain that's practically in my backyard.
The Cold Spot
4005 West Washington Street
Charleston, West Virginia 25301
Phone: (304) 343-9464
The Cold Spot has three locations throughout West Virginia and on a recent trip I stopped into the Charleston, WV Cold Spot with a few friends. It wasn’t their first time. In fact, I’m pretty sure they made it a point to take me out for some wings during my visit. Thanks guys. Bonus: they got me to there on Tuesday Wing Night.
I have to say that The Cold Spot is one of those places that really pushes their wings. Their website boast such phrases as, “It’s a Wing Thing” and “Specializing In Wings & Chicken Tenders” and “Our Wings & Tenders Are Fresh! Never Pre-Cooked & Never Frozen!” So, it’s pretty obvious that they’re very proud of the product. Just makes me all the more excited to try ‘em out!
Quaker Steak and Lube - PNC Park
Pittsburgh, PA 15275
(412) 323-5000
In the arena, behind sections 109 and 322. Open during all sporting events and most special events. Limited menu available.I know. It’s a little backward reviewing the Quaker Steak inside PNC Park before reviewing a brick and mortar QS&L proper. But that’s just the way it’s gonna be.
My past experiences with QS&L inside PNC Park have not been exactly stellar. As a rule, the wings are usually barely warm, sometimes chilly, without enough sauce or with too much sauce, and never crispy. If it weren’t for the sake of writing this review…I probably wouldn’t have bothered to get wings on this night. However, if I had opted for some other ballpark fair then I would have missed out on the best PNC/QS&L wings possible. Tonight, they nailed it!
2011 Wing Ding Wrap Up and Reviews!
The 8th Annual Wing Ding is in the books. Twelve different restaurants and vendors from the Ohio Valley donated their time, hard work and wings. There was lots of variety...so everyone was sure to find a favorite.Fried or grilled? Hot or mild? Greek Feta or Strawberry BBQ? Like I said...there was something for everyone.
It's a long post. Enjoy!

19th Hole
780 National Road
Wheeling, WV
(304) 232-WING
"The Place for Wings"
Let me just admit it right from the start. I’ve probably had 19th Hole’s wings more than any other wings around Wheeling. And there’s a reason for that….I love ‘em. I like the wings, the beer, the bartenders, the dirty checkerboard floor, the golf scorecard-style fairway boundaries painted on the drop panel ceiling, and meeting my buddies for drinks and conversation. I like everything about this place. It’s a hole in the wall but not quite a dive. At least, it’s not a dive in this town. I’m sure some big-city sophisticates out there would wonder just what they’ve gotten themselves in to. It ain’t pretty. But that’s just how I like it. There’s a mild golf theme to the decorations around the place, but for the most part the stuff hanging on the wall is standard sports bar swag. Pens, Steelers, Pirates, WVU and tons of flat screen tvs…it’s all here.

As I said, I’ve wolfed down these wings quite a bit over the years. But now it’s time for an official review.
Wings To Go - The Highlands
http://www.wingstogowv.com/The first time I tried Wings To Go was shortly after they first opened. In anticipation, I had researched their menu online at other Wings To Go locations. I was more than excited to try the new wings in town. They are a national chain, after all. They must be doing something right! Right?
Buffalo Wings and Rings
We were traveling on family matters to Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina and it so happened that right next door to our Hampton Inn was a welcoming site. ..a wing joint, “Buffalo Wings and Rings.” Located in a strip mall/shopping plaza, this place is has all the indications of a national sports-themed chain. Though, among the decorations are local sports teams to give it that hometown feel. Who cares really? The place was cool, clean and laid back with a long bar or table service…so that’s enough for me. Needless to say…I had to stop in and try the wings…and the rings.
Drover's Inn

Drover’s Inn. Ah, Drover’s. Quite a reputation around the area to say the least. Their slogan sums that up. “If you haven’t tried our wings then you don’t know what you’ve been missing.” So, how do they rate under review?
