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.
