Where is a place in the Metro with good wings?
Jethro's are okay, but that's about all I got off hand.
Chicken Coop? Isn't that a Husker Bar?
Millennials are killing chains like Buffalo Wild Wings and Applebee's

I'm going to challenge everyone in this thread who says "X is too expensive" to provide two restaurants with equal food at a better price. If X is too expensive we need to know where you go to the cheaper food at the same quality so we can support them.
Literally anywhere will have better pricing on beer than BWW, that's for sure.

"Too expensive" meaning it costs more than comparable places or "Too expensive" meaning it costs too much for what you get?
I love wings at Jethros, Court Ave Brewery, and Felix & Oscars (3rd place of these three) to give you my local go to options. That said, I haven't tried wings at a lot of places. I do like BWW wings FWIW.
Isn't it more accurate to state that Chains Like Buffalo Wild Wings And Applebee's Can't Attract Millennial Patrons?
Finally us Millennials get credit for something good. With that said, you're welcome!
Someone should create a name for that. Baity clicky, or something more catchy.
If you want good wings the best place is Cactus Bob's.
When is the last time you heard someone say "Let's go to Applebee's, I'm really craving it"? They literally offer nothing unique or special to draw people in.
At least with BWW, you get games, good beer selection for a chain, and decent wings. Their problem IMO is the cost...when a small boneless is now like $13 + $8 beers - it's difficult to get out of there under $50 for two. The value just isn't there.
The bigger problem is that both places would rather blame millennials than actually adapt to a changing market. Ask McDonald's how that goes...

You guys know you can order your wings "wet" and they'll put the sauce on heavy, right?
It's hard for me to pay so much for wings anymore. I make good wings at home and make them during football season. I was introduced to wings at The Ground Round when they were given away for free in the bar every night as a way to sell beer. They were hot, but good. I remember everyone was pissed when they started charging a quarter for them.
Nickel wing night was so good at The Ground Round! A part of me died inside when the Davenport location closed.
I don't think I've had BWW once since I first tried Chicken Coop a couple years back. The wings are bigger and better priced. Seems to be pretty Cyclone friendly every time I've been there, not sure on the Husker thing.
Nope, i didn't know there was a special term for decent wing. I also didn't know the actual wing (vs drummie) was called a flat for a long time.
