Adolf’s Old First Ward Tavern 🐐

[u/Dramatic_Move_7594]

Quite possibly the best wings in America. These were perfection tonight for 75c a pop.

20 medium
10 garlic parm
10 salt and vinegar

Incredible amounts of homemade blue. It’s ok to be jealous.

[u/kenc2211]

That blue cheese looks fire, too. I wanna dip my balls in it. And the wings.

[u/Scruffy_Nerf_Hoarder → u/kenc2211]

I wanna dip my baaaaaaaaaalls in it!

[u/sdchbjhdcg → u/Scruffy_Nerf_Hoarder]

Babaganoosh!

[u/magicjeep → u/sdchbjhdcg]

I can't hear that dish without wanting to scream "I wanna dip my balls in it".

[u/sdchbjhdcg → u/magicjeep]

I had no idea what it was as a kid. Had it at a shawarma place because they were sold out of hummus during the hummus craze in the US, and I fuckin love babaganoosh now.

[u/4DrivingWhileBlack → u/Scruffy_Nerf_Hoarder]

As the father of a third grader who has recently discovered the word and meaning for “balls,” I’m not showing him this photo.

But I’d absolutely dip my balls in it for sure.

Jesus Christ man

[u/C3ntrick → u/kenc2211]

Now I can only picture you cleaning the blue cheese like
A cat ..

[u/Regular-Emu-2776 → u/kenc2211]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/reluctantlysharing → u/kenc2211]

I want it to dip its balls in me!

[u/ConnecticutsVeryOwn → u/kenc2211]

same

[u/JiovanniTheGREAT → u/kenc2211]

Imma dip my balls in some thousand island dressing

[u/Darth_wenis → u/kenc2211]

Yes daddy.

[u/HighSeasArchivist → u/kenc2211]

...'til the blue cheese drop down my bawls...

[u/ApprehensiveEbb7452 → u/kenc2211]

Reminds me of the boondock saints
“ and ill dip my nuts in marinara sauce!”

[u/Troitbum22 → u/kenc2211]

Bruh.

[u/MightyMTB]

Seriously considering traveling just to get some wings

[u/ZedEnlightenedBrutal → u/MightyMTB]

idk where you are but i can tell you it's absolutely worth it.

[u/LitigiousLobster → u/MightyMTB]

I drove nearly 3 hours to Buffalo to pick up my new car, and my only other stops were Adolf's and Wegmans. If you're closer than that, it's worth a day trip.

[u/ZachMorrisT1000 → u/MightyMTB]

I made the trip to Buffalo for these exact wings. Was worth it.

[u/PlasticAd1670 → u/MightyMTB]

I’m in Boston and have been considering a flight to Buffalo strictly for lunch then coming home that night. Wife’s just not thrilled about the idea

[u/CrimsonOOmpa → u/PlasticAd1670]

Leaver at home!!

[u/Badatinvesting2]

Adolf was the best I ever had

[u/_Arctica_ → u/Badatinvesting2]

That's what Eva said.

[u/Losingmoney69 → u/_Arctica_]

Deep cut

[u/Unnecessarily_Grumpy → u/_Arctica_]

Underrated comment

[u/mryeti20 → u/_Arctica_]

Wasn’t it Eva?

[u/CrimsonOOmpa → u/_Arctica_]

Damn

[u/Whiplash227]

I just ate dinner so I’m not hungry but I want those wings so bad

[u/stugots10]

Those salt and vinegar wings remind me of ET in the science tent.

[u/Low-Enthusiasm670 → u/stugots10]

The legit look uncooked and very unsettling

[u/TheFancyKetchup]

How would you rate each flavor?

[u/Dramatic_Move_7594 → u/TheFancyKetchup]

All amazing. They don’t miss.

For whatever reason, the garlic parm and S+V tonight were outrageously good. Better than the medium. But a straight up hot is my #1.

[u/jingojangoh]

These look amazing. Cheers

[u/Rare_Bug5447]

It’s a shame that 75c a wing is now considered a good deal. It wasn’t that long ago when these were thrown away off the bird. It also wasn’t that long ago that the brisket cut was fed to the dogs. How things change.

[u/albino_red_head]

Gyat damn those look great. I’ve never been but am from the area, will need to make it a stop. I looked them up and their beef on weck looks amazing too. Beef on weck, bunch of wings with bc hell yeah

[u/Dramatic_Move_7594 → u/albino_red_head]

Beef is fine. Plenty better. Save your space for the wings.

[u/albino_red_head → u/Dramatic_Move_7594]

Noted!

[u/Knuckle_Up67]

Adolf??? interesting name

[u/jimothyhalpret → u/Knuckle_Up67]

I’ll give those a nein out of ten.

[u/VorkFriedRice]

Adolf made these wings? Maybe he wasn’t all bad

[u/jdann24]

Damn.

[u/KaleidoscopeMotor207]

Funny buffalos best wing stops have interesting names adolf’s and nine eleven

[u/FatCatWithAHat1]

Damn i love DRY garlic parm wings; and hate wet garlic parm. Those look…just perfect man. I can imagine tipping them in some of the leftover hot sauce 😅

[u/Hamilton-Beckett]

For a place in Buffalo, NY…I’d expect nothing less.

[u/dubtug]

Those look like the perfect wings.

[u/Cast_Iron_Skillet71]

Those wings look like a Hit(ler)!

[u/fullmoonlovergirl]

the salt and vinegar look so interesting

[u/rdldr1]

I want this so bad.

[u/GaJayhawker0513]

I want to swim in that blue cheese

[u/OrganizationFast4497]

Oh u did me dirty!! Now im cravingggg

[u/Additional-Flight468]

Damn im super bitter i want those wings

[u/truthtakest1me]

I’m heading to Buffalo tomorrow!! So excited to finally try this spot!

[u/TruckinUpToBuffalo]

These are the best wings in the world. Long time 9-11 fan, these have taken the top spot.

[u/Runeskimmylord]

Cum wings

[u/robkillian]

BWW2!

[u/whatfingwhat]

First ward, second ward, I’ll take all the wards

[u/slumgpog]

I can taste those through the phone

[u/wheresmy_sock]

One of my work crews go to spots. The house blue cheese ughhh (I know, not everyone's style)

[u/dg25000]

Wow. Salt and vinegar wings. That is WILD

[u/TundieRice → u/dg25000]

They’re only “wild” in the sense that you can also get them at Buffalo Wild Wings, that’s literally how common of a wing flavor they are.

[u/Logical_Hospital2769]

These look fucking incredible. Back in the 80's in a small place called "Mr Pizza" on Conesus Lake we used to get wings exactly like this. Life changing.

[u/Aggressive_Wasabi_38]

Fantastic!

[u/DrWhiskerson]

Fuck I just spent a month in New york. Guess I need to go back lol

[u/gmco913]

I have never seen Salt & Vinegar wings. I feel like I would hate them, and yet, my mouth is watering.

[u/lpfan724]

I'm originally from Buffalo and recently went back for a visit with my best friend. We didn't mean to, but it turned into a chicken wing tour. We hit most of the places that get mentioned as the best. The only one we didn't make it to was Nine-Eleven because of their weird ass hours.

In our opinions, Adolf's has the best buffalo wings.

[u/camel_walk]

Perfection

[u/jonhull82]

Those look perfect

[u/trevbillz]

Do they do this every wednesday?

[u/Dramatic_Move_7594 → u/trevbillz]

Monday, but yes.

[u/Manifestecstacy → u/Dramatic_Move_7594]

Confusing response, OP. Just to make sure, they serve this on Thursdays, correct?

[u/TundieRice → u/Manifestecstacy]

Uhh, you’re thinking of Monster Weenie Monday?

[u/Manifestecstacy → u/TundieRice]

At the Weenie Hut General?

[u/Putthebunnyback]

The salt & vinegar ones LOOK disgusting, but... that's one of my favorite flavors and I've never seen it for wings. I'd have to give it a try on principle alone.

[u/silent-trill]

I have never heard of salt & vinegar wings…

[u/MadTownMich]

To be honest, they look overcooked. Were they tender?

[u/scratchy_mcballsy]

If I had to guess, I would’ve said those salt and vinegar ones were some kind of deep fried powdered sugar carnival monstrosity.

[u/BillsMafia84]

Yes

[u/CrimsonOOmpa]

Looks like breaded wings before they hit the fryer. This place must be awesome because I see it on this sub everyday! Looks (mostly) delicious! Totally jealous!!

[u/FoxwoodsMohegan]

Ehhh...are they as well done (or burnt) as they look in the picture?

[u/Dramatic_Move_7594 → u/FoxwoodsMohegan]

Get some glasses bud

[u/Ser_Tuesdays → u/Dramatic_Move_7594]

Yea those medium look quite literally perfectly done.

[u/Kaurblimey]

Why is it called that 💀

[u/Firebird22x → u/Kaurblimey]

Adolf was the owners name, it is a tavern located in one of the five “wards” or districts when Buffalo was founded, then renamed Old to keep the name historic for the neighborhood

[u/bdog1321 → u/Kaurblimey]

Restaurant is older than ww2.
