Editorial Review

Since 1985, dedicated regulars have found their way to Louis Nemes’ wing emporium. More roadhouse than bistro, the dark space is crammed with fans of the meaty wings steeped in spicy, tangy house marinade. When the place is packed—always—the wings fly out the door with those who get them to go. Other house faves include jalapeño poppers, pork ribs and beef sandwiches. Mains $4.95–$19.95.
