"If you can tear yourself away from the brisket and barbecue nachos at this barbecue joint, try the big meaty smoked wings, grilled crispy and swabbed with sauces like Kung pao, jerk barbecue, and Buffalo inferno. Blue Oak fires up some of the best wings in town, and they’re on the happy hour menu, which runs 3 to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. An order of roasted garlic mac and cheese is perfect on the side." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
