If you do not include Lisa's Buffalo Grille in Greenlawn, you are missing out! The best wings around!

@Greg - I nominated the Buffalo Grille the other day, but they did not include them in the final poll. Lisa's is the ONLY place I've ever been where I can get the hottest wings (Inferno in their case) and NOT want to add my own hot sauce to them. They are fantastically hot, and I agree the best wings I've had. C'mon, Outback? Golden Coach? KFC? Who made this poll? Not a wing lover for sure...

Nicky's wing were fed steroids, ther is lots of meat and spice to boot. Never had wings in some of these other establishments but when I am away the wings are usually not up to my standards.

Maria's def the best. But this list is horrible. Taxi's has been closed for a year, and the fact that KFC, outback and Friday's are on the list just proves that this list holds no weight. Golden Coach Diner is gross, and shamrock wings are undercooked 90% of the time.

I have to admit it, I eat wings twice a week and free wing s are better! Kind of, I find that lots of times when they are on special they are either pre-cooked or rushed and not always cooked properly. I will always go to Shamrock or Rookies when they do an all you can eat special but when (I’m paying) I want them cooked crisp and consistent. Finley’s gets my vote for best wings worth paying for. I prefer traditional Buffalo wings with a thick sauce, real chunky blue cheese, carrots and celery, the crisper the better, Finley’s by far fits the bill no pun intended, but if I’m going to eat on the cuff, the all you can eat wings at Rookies are fine

Id put The Shamrock head to head with any catagory this Patch wants the thro out there! burgers, pasta, salads ect.... against any restaurant anywhere.! there new chef whos been there acouple of years now is one the nicest guys i know out there, takes pride in his ingredients and it shows in everythings he cooks, hes always out the dining room after dish he cooks to make sure everyones happy! Hes old school but young. You just dont get that treatmeant anymore in restaurants.

Yea there wings are awesome and got my vote. there burger is one of the best i ever had too. always cooked to how i want it. the chef is awesome and his name is Joe. why does everyone call him sweet joe? he is a nice guy. ive meet him in the dinning room acouple of times, is that why?

Gotta admitt i wouldnt of stepped foot into the shamrock untill someone told me they had someone new running it, acouple of times i went into the shamrock the owner was a drunken mess. crazy crowd the situation made me feel uncomfortable. I took my friends advice and checked it out, iam now there acouple a times a week... with my kids. Foods so good, atmosphere is fun, and prices are great. I even went there for valentines day. it was better than any 5 star restaurant, seriously.. Highly recommended. O yea wings are awesome. go Shamrocks.

This is a tough one!!! wings... everyone likes them diffrent, so iam judgeing on quality of wing! Shamrocks definatly has a quality wing, so does Finelys,. I like my wings crispy with just a glaze of origianal hot sauce on it. with a good chunky bleu cheese and celery. And my vote goes to The shamrock for that reason, they listen to their customers request. And i guess his name is joe from this forum does it rite everytime!! consistent, consistency wins me everytime!! good job Joe & the shamrock.. Finelys aint no push over!! but the shamrock got my vote on the wings!!!

Shamrocks all the way! croxley ales in garden city comes close to shamrocks. they do it right there too. Had anyone ever had the shamrocks corned beef? to die for. You have to go to a jewish deli in Manhatten somewhere to get anything even close! they definalty do a good job. And i believe its a father/son operation.

Sorry but this is a pet peeve of mine...doing a 360, you end up in the same spot as you started. A 180 is a complete opposite.
