Ok so as I mentioned we have three places so far that we have been to for wings, Limericks Bar on route 20 in Hamburg, Mammoser's in downtown Hamburg, and Riley's on Orchard Park Road in Orchard Park.

First off Limerick's, I had been going there for quite a while with my father up until three weeks ago when we decided to start this blog. The location is pretty good with off street parking right off route 20, and plenty of parking for 20+ cars. Upon entering it is a typical bar scene, it does have a feel of being slapped together with the pool table, dart board and digital jukebox crammed into one small area in the back of the bar. Seating at the bar is pretty cramped with tables right behind the patrons who like to sit at the bar, which can make getting to the restroom quite the adventure! They do have a decent sized dining area to the right of the entrance as you walk in, but in all my visits it was rarely if ever used. If you happen to be a smoker there isn't much options for you besides standing in the parking lot.
The service at Limericks is good, with the bartenders being friendly but slightly stressed seeing as they also do all the cooking. Even amidst this there is good communication between the bar staff and customers, there is minimal wait to get your drinks which is a definite plus in my book!
Now onto the wings, they were VERY dry, no sauce at all. I had ordered them mild and a little crispy, what I had recieved was a dried out wing that crackled when i picked it up, biting into it was worse than the visual. It tasted burnt, no hint of mild sauce whatsoever, and tasteless, I might as well have been eating a piece of drywall...thank god for the beer!
Overall it was cramped, with typical bar lighting, boring but not coma inducing. Basically a good place to go if you just want a quick beer after work, I would not recommend it for the chicken wings at all( but I hear they make a mean burger, which I will have to try in the near future)
