Signature Cajun Honey Butter BBQ wings & beef on weck
"Ask a group of random Buffalonians where to find the best wings in the city, and they’ll probably utter the words “Bar-Bill.” We’re here to confirm their greatness. Just south of the city, tucked in the charming Americana village of East Aurora, these wings deliver the perfect trifecta: shatteringly crisp skin, succulent meat, and expertly brushed-on sauce. Yes, they actually use a paintbrush, ensuring every wing is evenly coated without getting soggy. There are a ton of flavors, but it’s all about the hot wings, cajun medium, and cajun-honey butter BBQ—the same wings Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen famously polished off 40 of in one sitting." - David Neimanis
"Bar Bill Tavern possibly has the most recognizable wing in town. The signature serving style includes hand painted wings that are delicately placed in a circle with flats on one side and drums on the other. Head to the original location in East Aurora, but definitely be prepared for a wait. Beautiful wings take time. If you’re looking for a suggestion, order the honey butter barbecue Cajun style, which Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen proclaimed as his favorite wings in town." - Tori Allen
"Bar-Bill Tavern serves beef on weck and cajun honey butter barbecue wings, with locations in Rochester and Buffalo." - Anna Staropoli
"A regional favorite where each wing is hand-painted with sauce before service and the heat scale runs into seriously potent territory—extra hot wings can induce tears and a runny nose—while a milder Cajun-honey butter BBQ variant offers tangy, sweet brightness that has earned celebrity endorsements. The wings are commonly paired with the house-recommended Boneyard IPA (brewed for the restaurant), and the original East Aurora patio location fills up on weekends as locals flock there for classic, reliably bold wings." - ByAlana Pedalino
"A tavern in East Aurora that originally served only beef on weck and later expanded its menu after new ownership in 1977 added wings and a variety of sauces. The current owner emphasizes delivering both Buffalo specialties together and takes pride in careful trimming of the roast (before and after roasting) to ensure consistently tender, perfectly sliced beef on the sandwich." - Jessica Kelly
