Best Wings

The Superbowl is coming up on February 11, which means it’s the perfect time for wings!

Earlier this week, we asked our Instagram followers who has the best wings in town and received over 100 replies! Four spots in particular received the most votes - Chicken Bee, Bad Daddy’s, Rody’s Tavern, and Bon-Bon Wings & Grill.

After another round of voting, Bad Daddy’s and Bon-Bon Wings & Grill were our final contenders. Now it’s up to you to make the tiebreaking decision:
