Milwaukee Wings

Hall of Fame + more updates!

Changes continues to occur around here, today’s most notable addition is the Milwaukee Wings Hall of Fame! I had always wanted to do a top 10 list of some sorts, but with tie scores and things, it became hard to do! So, today I went back to the drawing board and came up with the idea of the Wing Hall of Fame! After looking at all of our scores, it appears 80 is the magical cut off between places that are good and places that are great. As such, any place with a score of 80 or higher will be a member of the Milwaukee Wings Hall of Fame! Check out the current members here!

In other news, I pulled down a few old reviews of some places that aren’t with us anymore as I figured they really don’t have too much usefulness anymore.

Finally, if you check out the main review page, all current reviews are entered in a sortable table for ease of use.

Our final updates will be to write a few overdue reviews and clean up any factual errors in past reviews (price changes, URL updates, etc). At that point, everything should be up to date, perhaps a new look is in order?

New Review! Saloon on Calhoun

In possibly the most timely posting of a review ever, here is a review from last night’s visit to the Saloon on Calhoun!

Upcoming reviews: Wingstop, Knucklehead Pub

Changes, Updates and WINGFEST!

I find myself with some extra free time these days, so what better use of that time than tidying things up around here. The biggest change you will see is on the formatting of the specials page. Everything is now in sortable tables so you can more easily find things by name, price, location or review. You can also sort by phone number, which is completely useless but I couldn’t figure out a work around for that, but, oh well…. It’s WAY easier to read and hopefully makes finding a wing special easier. I hope you like it, I basically had to retype and re-link EVERYTHING on that page! The only reformatting yet to be done is the specials for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but those should be due up soon.

Speaking of specials, everything was updated over the last few days. Some prices updated, a couple specials added, and some removed or in some cases renamed for bars that closed, changed hands, or just changed their name for the sake of it. Likewise, a review or two was removed as the place has closed. Websites have been updated and a Google Map link is now right in the address field of the table.

Next, I’m updating the daily special maps which are long out of date. Monday is complete with the remaining days to go.

As for reviews, there are a couple dictated into my phone that should be typed out soon. I’m also going to look at all of the currently published reviews and tidy up things a bit, mainly make sure website links and specials are accurate on those pages.

My goal is to get this thing all shined up so that I can continue to be the original and number one source for all things wing in the Brew City.

Last but not least… WING FEST 2012 is upon us! This great event has relocated from the casino to the Harley Davidson Museum and will be held on April 15, 2012 from 1-5pm. Last years event was really good so I’m looking forward to it again this year! Ticket info and all other info is at http://www.wing-fest.com/

New Wingmen

Three new wingmen were added to the “wingmen” section today, some very long overdue. The highly coveted and prestigious honor only belongs to those who have rightfully earned it! (or just people who like to come along with me for wings!). Say hello at: http://milwaukeewings.com/?page_id=544

Milwaukee Wings Goes Mobile

Finally made a mobile version of the site for those on “fancy” phones. This particularly makes viewing the specials easier on a mobile device for when you need to find a wing night on the go!

Wingstop : Now Open

Another national wing chain has opened its doors in Milwaukee this week, Wingstop is now open on 2086 S Miller Park Way in West Milwaukee, WI. Can’t say I’ve ever had the opportunity to eat at Wingstop so I can’t say much about them. I’ve head off on reviewing national chains as I tried to keep this more local, but, I’m thinking of doing it as a point of comparison. So hopefully in the future I can get up reviews for Wingstop, Quaker Steak, and BW3.

New Reviews!

Four new reviews published today, check them out!

New Review : Red Rock Saloon

Happy Holidays everyone! Now that you’re done with your holiday turkey and ham, return your focus to wings. You help you with that, I present the first new review in a long, long time and what WILL be the first of many to be posted over the next week. Today I present to you a review of the Red Rock Saloon, check out the full review here.

New Specials

Again, a long time with no update, I’m sorry. But, I’ve got a great deal of time off of work around the holidays and plan to publish my back log of review! For now, check out the specials page as I’ve updated it yet again. A few places added, a few places changed, and unfortunately a few places removed that closed or stopped their specials.

Reviews are upcoming for Red Rock Saloon, Brewski’s, TomKen’s, Bosch, and probably quite a few other places I’ve forgotten about (this is why I digitally record my reviews…I can remember where I’ve been and if it was good!).
