Long story short, I'm craving wings & I'm planning on taking my little bro out to eat. We've been to B-Dubs a few times & enjoyed it, but we've heard good things about WingStop (& the lower price tag is nice). At the same time, less flavors & the uncertainty of the unknown does leave me a bit weary to go all-in. I know this is my second question thread on GAF today, but can you guys help me out?

Never had WingStop, but I still have dreams about the Lemon & Pepper wings from BWW. Too bad the closest BWW is like an hour away from my house.
My BWW is only a few minutes away, as is WingStop.

Never had Wingstop either, but B-dubs is never a wrong decision. Go with what's comfortable unless you really want to experiment.

None. Go local.
Seriously.

Good advice
I don't think there's a local wing place near me. The fact that the big 2 are in the same vicinity scared any local wing businesses off.

This topic interests me as well, since they finally bought a Wing Stop to my city a couple months ago.
Haven't been to BWW in years tho, ever since they got rid of 50 cent leg and 30 cent wing special days. It's just too expensive otherwise.

Absolutely.
If you have a local pizza place, you have a local wing place.

well that's an easy one , Buffalo Wild Wings!
WingStop kind of sucks where I'm at. It just opened too. either too much sauce or rub and there is barely any meat on the wings. Those frozen bags you can get at Sams Club have WAY MORE meat than WingStop. Their seasons fries were terrible too. The seasoning was inconsistent on the fries. Like some had way too much and some none.
Edit: I've been thinking it's probably just bad management here. I remember going in and seeing unswept crap on the floor like nobody cared.

Buffalo Wild Wings has better wings. Wingstop has better fries.

I thought BWW is okay. I had WingStop for the first time a couple weeks ago and the wings tasted good but were really scrawny and dry. As of now is have to say I prefer BWW, but I plan on going to Wing Stop again and try done other things before forming a final opinion.
And as others have said, local places tend to have better wings.

B dubs is great to drink and watch sports with a group of friends, but if I just want food, I'll get WingStop. Most locations have a 3 chicken strip + fries + drink combo for $5.99, and you can have those strips slathered in any one of their wing sauces.

I've been to BWW a couple times and the wings are super mediocre and the service isn't great. I know the latter is a variable but I feel like the wings would be mediocre at any location. I've had Wingstop once and it was pretty good.
now I want wings

I'd rather go to a local bar. Better wings, better beer selection, and I don't have to go to whatever mall or otherwise shitty location these places are located in.

For boneless wings and fries, Wingstop is significantly better.
BWW has the whole sports and beer thing going on though.

You ever hear Rick Ross drop a line about Buffalo Wild Wings?
Some local chinese resturants may surprise you.
I prefer bone-in. I've devised methods of getting every last piece of meat off the bone, in 1 bite no less.

Yeah my experience with pizzeria wings has been subpar. I'm better off going to a bar for better wings but Wing Stop will work in a pinch.

Never been to Wingstop, but whichever has the better Honey BBQ wings is the correct answer.

Haven't been to BWW in ages, but I do enjoy WingStop's wings (bone-in or boneless) and fries when I just want some quick wings to eat for dinner.
BWW does have better sauces I find (less salty than WingStop's) and it's a great place when watching a bunch of sports games but I miss their specials.
Neither hold a candle to Cluck U though... Many of my random Thursdays were spent going there while I was in college at UCSC.

Wing Stop. Can you even do take out from BWW? Wing Stop simply for the ability to take out.

I've loved BWW for years and we got a Wingstop a couple years ago and I hate multiple types of their wings. I've never had bad wings at BWW.

Never heard of WingStop before. What kings of sauces do they have?
This! Oh my god, I could eat a whole damn barrel full of those fries and the wings are pretty damn excellent. I recommend hawaiian and garlic parmasan.
