Based on these posts I went to Don't Know and Kislings recently, neither of which I'd been to in years. Honestly, I was really disappointed with DK. Just nothing was right about them. Not crispy, sauce was just like nothing to me, and they tasted chickeny in a not-good way.

Kislings was good, but Ibar is clearly superior, IMO.

I just got back from Minneapolis and tried one of their "best wings in the city" places, and it wasn't any better than Kislings and nowhere near Ibar. I think we have it pretty good with Ibar here.

Seriously? Cause I was questioning based on Kisling’s being so low, but also haven’t been in a while. But iBar did not impress me the two times I had their wings.

Did you do chef style buffalo? That is where they excel IMO. And I have family in Buffalo NY, they’re as good as the ones I get up there. The other flavors at iBar are just good, but chef style, buffalo hot, hard fried, is heavenly (not to say I’ve been there on off-days, but when they’re on, it’s great).

Yes, I had those. Unimpressed. I guess maybe they’re sometimes good, but if they are this inconsistent, that means they’re bad, not good

I've been to Ibar a lot, so I see their ebbs and flows. Sometimes they're definitely having an off night and the wings are just so-so, but a lot more often they're great. I agree with the other guy that the chef style sauce is what really sets them apart. They also do fried hard crispy better than anyplace else, and that's really one of the most important things to me.

I had them chef style. They weren’t great. They were fried hard, but crispy isn’t really how I’d describe them, there was little meat, and the flavor was underwhelming.
