Blaney Wings Ale - Elgin

First off let me say this place has hands down the best wings, flavors, and dips of any spot big or small including carolina wings, and schooners, with a possible tie to wingstop arguably. The teri-hot flavor is my second favorite, and the hot is the very best. Just hot enough to break a sweat on my forehead, but making me want more and more and for it to never stop. Speaking of dips, I do believe their ranch is made in house. It dosen't taste like hidden valley or any other bottled ranch. I'm most confident that the bleu cheese is made in house. I am 37 years old and have been a fan of bleu cheese since I was 18. That's probably the best bleu cheese I've ever put in my mouth. Big chunks of bleu cheese crumbles in it, delicious creamy dressing. Hands down the best ever. Gives wingstop ranch a run for their money. Raw fries are excellent, the french fries are perfection. I swear they are handmade like at 5 guys, I'd bet my paycheck on it cause that's how it tastes. Burger? Phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. I hate having to decide whether to order the burger or wings, a couple times when I have extra money in my pocket, I will order both. Wife says they have a good sweet tea too. To go service is always fantastic as well. They will give me a time and I may be a few minutes early or late from the time they say it will be ready, and the food is still waiting on the counter for me fresh and hot which is how to go service should work. All I have to do is give my name and give them a card and I'm on my way. I am greeted by the bartender nicely, and if they are busy, I get a quick response from a server lady asking if I've been helped. Almost chick fil a levels of service to be honest. TV's line the walls for big games. This is my new go to honestly. I'd rather drive 8 mins down the road and grab wings or a burger, than 30 mins to wingstop or red robin. I'd be just as happy if not happier. I will try to branch out to try their other menu items, but so far, they hit a grand slam out the ballpark. Change nothing Blaney's. Would give 10 stars out of 5 if I could. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Teriyaki Wings, Raw Fries, Wings, Burger
