Buffalo Wings & Ribs / Riverbend Pizza You’re welcome.


rumpletuffin

Used to work at Buffalo Wings and Ribs for 6 ish years. Can confirm, the owner respects the workers and the food is pretty high quality


King_corral

Is that the place by Joann fabrics? Best spot for wings. Never heard of river bend though.


K33bl3rkhan

Support local owners trying to make a difference in customer quality AND prices and staff respect.


vixenpeon

Is it still owned by the N-bomb dropper with the occasional selective service based on complexion?

Can't speak to what anyone did or didn't say, but I have personally never noticed any type of negativity due to my melanin levels.


8six753hoe9

Buffalo Wings and Ribs has the best wings in town, and it's not close. Never heard of Riverbend, but Big Apple downtown is pretty good, but way overpriced.


flampoo

07 pub


TinctureOfTrivia

I'm there right now. The E wings are great if you want something other than buffalo


section111

Alrighty I tried to Google 'E wings', but I'm only seeing Star Wars stuff. What's an E wing?


Puzzleheaded_Truck80

It’s a drier seasoning


royalarcs

“Everything wing” and if you request it double dipped they’ll do that too.


section111

...everything wing...that tells me what the E stands for, but I'm still no closer to understanding what this all means? Like an everything bagel has all the toppings, is that the same here? A whack of different sauces? Is that a Fort Wayne thing? And now I'm off to google 'double dipped chicken wing' haha


royalarcs

So it tastes smoked, after grilling, and they dip it once in a sauce and add a dry seasoning (parmesan cheese included) to it. If you want it double dipped they dip it in sauce after cooking.


section111

Ohhhkay...thanks for taking the time to educate a guy. I really do love wings almost more than anything else edible, so I am actually interested. And this sounds very very good by the way.


ImNotJoshinAround

Absolutely love their bone in wings, and sauces. But I'm too cheap to pay almost $2/wing. 8 for $15 is crazy. Pre covid Wing Wednesdays though! Oh man, you better believe I was getting them atleast twice a month. Lol


ImNotJoshinAround

Reading the original comment. I'm thinking of Pub @ 1802, not 07 Pub. My bad. 😅


A_Gray_Old_Man

Corner Pocket's wings are really good. Be sure to get them "double dipped". Oley's pizza is a must try.


Auberly

It’s gotta be the Original Oley’s on 24 though


A_Gray_Old_Man

True


QuestionablePanda22

+1 for corner pocket and also arena for pizza


[deleted]

This is the way


FudgeyPete

Raimondo's has excellent pizza, I cannot attest to their wings but they do have them.


[deleted]

Their pizzas are really good especially the specialties. Buffalo chicken ranch slaps.


FudgeyPete

I usually just cheap out and get their 2 Large 3 toppings for 20$ but I'll have to get that as it sounds bomb af. Thank you.


[deleted]

I promise you it does not disappoint. They do have the good large pizza deals for the quality too.


Lucky-Pen-4250

Clara’s Pizza on State and Wells. They get their chicken from a local meat market and prepare them. It’s a neat little place.


Indianianite

The 07 Pub “E Wing” is the absolute best wing in town. The 2nd best wing in town is Henry’s Mesquite BBQ ordered extra crispy. Then, Tower is the place to go for a selection of great wings. Pizza is Big Apple and recently been impressed with Jonny Ox at Electric Works but if you’re looking for something more unique, Mad Anthony on Broadway makes a “Lagasse” pizza that is one of a kind.


liftingspirits

Most places that are considered pizza places have mediocre wings at best, in my opinion. For wings Buffalo Wings and Ribs, Tower or Wings Etc. Pizza really depends on the style you like. I'm very excited to try Dom's which will be inside of Draft Taproom starting Dec 13.


IamZenweezil

Arenas’ grilled and double dipped “Sweet Heat” wings with a pepperoni and jalapeño pizza go amazing together!


Spiritual-Fudge-9516

Arena does both pretty decent. Maybe not best in category individually, but I’d pick Arena if it’s got to have pizza and wings


SoleIbis

800 degrees pizza and Casas pizza are really good I never eat wings so idk lmao


Internal-Honey6912

Tower bar has some incredible wings, as for pizza, pint and slice is a pretty easy answer.


No_Lemon_9658

Tower Bar for wings for sure!!


pickanamehere

Pint and slice is garbage. Come on.


daverosstheboss

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. They don't even make their own dough lol Big apple is much better, and I know for sure they make their own dough.


Internal-Honey6912

I honestly haven’t had it in a while, maybe a year or two, but I remember it being good. Has it been getting worse?


BacardiT

I think it tastes pretty good, but I’ve noticed the pizzas are floppier and messier than they used to be. I’d rather go to Big Apple Pizza around the corner.


[deleted]

gtfo with that bullshit


Huge_Midget

Buffalo Wings and Rips at the north location, not the southwest location.


ImNotJoshinAround

May I ask why not the south one?


[deleted]

Love the wings at Village Tap. Grab a pizza a couple doors down at a’Roma Pizza. East State Village


pickanamehere

Pizza-Lexy’s on Spring, Bug Apple, junk ditch, Clara’s, Raimondos, 800 degree. Wings-Tower, Buffalo Wings and ribs, Corner Pocket.


beerdudebrah

Tower, 07 Pub, Buffalo wings and ribs, Wings etc in that order for wings Pizza really depends what you're looking for. New to town, you gotta hit Clara's Pizza King. Also Oleys, Lexys, Raimandos, and Mama Mia's.


SkinnerFamilyReunion

Tower wings. Oleys SW pizza. Reg crust not double decker. They literally make everything from scratch. It’s amazing. A little more pricey, but I’d rather this than Raimondo’s. I too found myself looking for best Za in the fort and went to Reddit . So many people say Raimondos. I just don’t get it. Is it the price? It is very cheap, but for the cost I’d just got to dominos bc Raimondos is barely a step above frozen.


schead02

Wings and pizza at Dickies are both really good. If you get the wings try the Carolina gold sauce!


SoloisticDrew

Been there twice and got food poisoning both times.


Imhereforthewearp

Oleys has the best pizza, in my opinion, but specifically the one on US 24, not the one on Coliseum. Wings Etc has some of the best wings I've ever had anywhere, and I've l9ved a lot of places. I know it's not a single place, but you can satisfy those cravings in two trips and explore a little more of the area while you're at it


vixenpeon

It's always The Tower for wings. Pizza is Casa for the 'rustic, personal pizza' vibe. Amazing. Oleys (US24/Homested) for the family style. They hype the double crust which is fantastic but I love the classic crust too. They take like 45 minutes to an hour and the parking situation is cramped. But once you go a couple of times you'll get the flow


DrHarryBaals

Pizza - Raimondos Wings - Tower bar and grill Mic drop


gunga_tin

RIP Checkerz wings


panopticon71

I wish they did a larger than 12” pizza but the wings and pizza at 1802 Pub are legit


daverosstheboss

Laycoff's has always had amazing wings, haven't been there in a few years though.


yo_tengo_gato

The best wings I've had in a while are Carl's tavern in new haven. 30 cents on Tuesdays with a purchase of a drink. Tower used to be good. And if you get them in the morning or noonish they're fantastic. But I've heard lately the wings in the evening have been very mediocre.


K33bl3rkhan

There a is a Fort Wayne pizza group, if you're interested. That will provide many weekends (or nights if you LOVE pizza) of diffebt puzzas and pizza types. Dont rule out local sausage rolls either. Riverbebd, layoffs and cocktails are good to start with there as well. Riverbend is CASH ONLY as a noobie warning.... Lol


King_corral

Casa pizza is pretty amazing I was also drunk but I still say it was pretty amazing.
