Diskins was essentially the same as it was the first time we went to it, except it had Christmas lights strung up in honor of the holidays. The entire bar is the bottom half of someone’s house turned into a bar. It’s a small place, with a wraparound bar and a couple of places to sit with tables. Cozy would be a nice way to put it. Smoking is allowed in the bar, but they must have an awesome air filter because you didn’t really get the effects of it. It seemed much busier this time, and there wasn’t a man playing guitar in the corner this time around. Since it was so busy, we had to choose one of the side tables. This meant we had to go to the bar to get our drinks and place our orders as they didn’t have a waitress. The wings did take quite a while to come out, but I contribute this how busy it was. By the time we got our wings, we moved to the bar. This made things easier on the bartender and she was much more amicable towards us at that time. Honestly, if you go here for food of ay type, sit at the bar. You will get much better service and have a better time overall.
These wings are massive. At only $0.40, it’s a great deal. I had to spring for 20 again as there were just too many good choices. As a result, I ended up taking 7 home. Usually I don’t have a problem taking down 15, but these wings were so large I couldn’t handle more than 13. In fact, I was struggling towards the end.
The selection here isn’t the best around, but they do serve some interesting flavors. Variety is the spice of life, and they do give a little bit more spice with the choices they provide.
These wings are fantastic. I ordered the Cajun Ranch, Hot, Bacon Whiz, and Hot Garlic Caesar. The Cajun Ranch is one of my favorite wings from any place. It’s a very thick ranch sauce with Cajun seasoning mixed in. It reminds me a bit of Cooler Ranch Doritos. They are great. The Hot isn’t anything out of this world It was a typical hot sauce with a pretty good taste, but nothing that’s going to blow your socks off. Bacon Whiz is an interesting flavor that really fits it’s name. It has a very strong cheddar cheese whiz flavor, with a slight hint of bacon taste. I have no idea how they got the bacon taste, but it is certainly there. If you like that cheesy flavor, this is the wing for you. I enjoyed them and I would recommend them just for the taste. You could choose either the plain Garlic Caesar, or one with the hot sauce mixed in. I opted for the Hot Garlic Caesar, and I did not regret it. The Caesar and hot sauce mix was delicious, and the addition of the garlic really added to it. I tried Serniak’s Garlic Caesar, which were still good, but I’d say Hot Garlic Caesar would be the way to go.
Diskins is a small townie bar that caters to a hardworking person who just got out of work. It’s a gritty establishment that usually has characters at each end of the bar. If you don’t enjoy smoky bars then Diskins might be a turn off for you because that is the reality there. There aren’t a ton of tables in the place so if you have a large party with you, seating may be a challenge. Still, Diskins is a fun place that has tremendous wings.
The size of the wings at Diskins are massive and for only 40 cents it is quite the bargain. Possibly the best deal the Wing Men will come across.
Here’s what happened. The last time we were here there were more flavors being offered. The reason that not all of the flavors were being offered was that the cook apparently didn’t know how to make the other flavors. Kind of a bummer because they are really good flavors. They have about 10 other flavors that are all done very well.
This was the first place that the Wing Men went for a second time. Diskins is ranked number 1 and going back again cemented that fact. The wings were great again. I got hot, garlic, hot ranch and bacon whiz. The regular hot are zesty and have a good tang to them and the garlic are right on point. The bacon whiz were real good but I could of used more of a bacon taste to them. It’s knit picking but it still needs to be mentioned. Now the hot ranch is one of my favorite wings of all time. An excellent combination of hot sauce and ranch. I’ve had this combination before but nothing touches the hot ranch at Diskins. One thing about the wings at Diskins is that the sauce is absolutely caked on. There’s ton of it on them and its one of the reasons Diskins is number 1.
