Massive! 2 Local Eateries Make "Best Wings" Massachusetts List

I don't know much, but I do know this. A lot of people LOVE chicken wings, including myself! Were you aware that 2 local iconic restaurants were recently named as having some of the best wings in Western Massachusetts?

First things first. What is your favorite flavor of chicken wings? Do you enjoy the standard, traditional Buffalo wings? Maybe you prefer BBQ or Teriyaki? Or something a little exotic like Mango Habanero or Sweet Chili? The options are endless.

Next, what about temperature? Mild, medium, spicy, hot, or burn the skin off the roof of your mouth scorching??? Do you like drums or flats or both? These may sound like stupid questions, but it's all part of the experience.

What about a side to accompany your wings? Carrots, celery, or something else? And, I almost forgot, dipping sauce. VERY IMPORTANT! Trust me, I've seen guys almost come to blows over which is better, Ranch dressing or Blue Cheese.

Yep. I love wings in all shapes, sizes, and flavors. And I'm not the only one, either. Yelp just recently released its list of top places to get chicken wings in western Massachusetts and I'm happy to say that TWO Berkshire County eateries landed in the top 10! Any guesses?

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
