    Hot wings
    Jennifer H.

    We were in the moods for wings after a nice beach day and we ended up finding the Williamburg location only to get there and find out it's not a actual store front but a street vendor. A street vendor that was not there that day either. We tried placing the order over the phone and were told only online orders can be made. It's no wonder why we couldn't place the order in seamless. Eventually after all that hassle we ended up at the 1st Avenue location in the city. Overall they had a nice outdoor setup. The lady the register walked my order out when it was ready. The wings were good a little on the dry side but next time I will make sure to request more sauce.

    Dan and Johns is my favorite wing stop in smorgasbord. I always get the boneless buffalo wings with blue cheese (8 breaded wings) no matter which flavor wing you get, you won't be disappointed. I've been visiting them in Brooklyn for years.

    So this Saturday, I decided to make up for lost time and finally check out Smorgasburg, to see what all the fuss is about. (Quick tip: arrive between 11 and noon if you don't want to literally rub shoulders with everyone -- this food market is for real). Unfortunately, you can't hit up all the stalls in one day (unless you boast a bottomless gut and wallet), but that's a great reason to come back. Several stalls impressed, but this one in particular I thought was pretty genius. Dan and John, proprietors of the eponymous new street food venture, are super-friendly dudes. They were busy filling poultry orders, but I got a chance to chat with the lovely ladies they had dishing the wings. These girls definitely stood out as the friendliest and most engaging tent hosts of the afternoon, and I got a chance to learn a bit about their avian cookery. Dan and John are Buffalo natives who saw a gaping hole in the NYC street/food truck scene: real-deal Buffalo wings! And it occurs to me that they are abso-freaking-lutely right! Between Cambodian curry and Salvadoran papusas, how has no one thought to meet a very deep American demand for hot wings??? My friends and I sampled the goods--about 4 jumbo wings and some requisite celery (pass, but you might be a stalk man or woman) per order. And you get to dip them in Rootie's blue cheese, which they also have for sale at the table. The wings come in several grades of caliente, but I recommend the hot or "infernal" if you want to feel like a champ. The BBQ version is finger-licking good as well. They weren't cheap, but on par with the other offerings at Smorgasburg. Definitely bigger than the wings you're liable to find on any given Sunday at a New York City sports bar, and tastier than what I've had at Blondie's, Wildwood, and Atomic Wings. They're only there on Saturdays, so make sure to seek it out and squeeze it in between sessions of beer cheese, dry ramen, and tiny country pies. And, if you linger long enough, you might see Touré (from MSNBC) slurping down wings. I wonder how many celebs I missed (thanks, SO, for the eagle eyes).

    Smorgasburg is my weakness and so is Dan and John's. I always order the 5 piece boneless buffalo at Smorgasburg and then get 20 wings to go simply because it's too messy and I like to put my fat girl eating pants on and house these solo on a Saturday night while binging on HGTV.

    First try for this buffalo girl at the new Coney Island outpost. Really friendly guys working. Weren't sure what part of B'lo Dan and John are from ...... Wings are some of the best representing in NYC I've had yet but needs a better blue cheese ( thicker with more chunks ) Thanks for your hospitality

    Without doubt, the best wings I have ever had in the city! These wings are super big and juicy! Dan and John pick these well! They offer different sauces to bathe these in right after being deep fried and even though you can get 7 wings for $9, these wings are huge!! like seriously big! (Ok, wait, don't expect bowling ball sizes chicken wings either, but pretty big for wings!) I was able to try these out while at Smorgasburg in Brooklyn and the actual owners were cooking and taking the orders. They had their Texas look on point and a southern charm that made you feel that they really were enjoying what they were doing. I really wish I was eating some more right now. If I remember well, I believe they only have two locations at the moment and might be looking to expand into the city soon (if not already). I will be looking forward to getting my hand on more of these. Quick suggestions... Don't be finicky about getting dirty, they are hot wings, it is supposed to happen, also, the hot sauce is not really hot (I'm not mad though cause they told me it really wasn't hot at all) So if you really like a kick, ask for inferno sauce! :)

    Being Buffalo born-and-raised this is the closest thing to home yet. After living here a year I realized that NYC doesn't really have buffalo wing game at all - maybe my expectations were too high coming from the real deal upstate. Cue Dan and John's Wings - giving me some hope that there are some people who can do it right in this city. The blue cheese is sweet and the wings have that perfect texture that's hard to find outside Buffalo's city limits. I tried them at their Coney Island location and needless to say - I'll be back once a week!

    Best wings ever! Just like we do it in Buffalo. There is no better place in NYC or Brooklyn to get your wings.

    Mild wasn't special but the BBQ was really good. Meaty wings that you won't want to share. Good for a nice spicy taste during the day

    Hands-down the best chicken I've ever had in my life and I'll die on that hill. I had seen this…read moreplace on social media and wanted to try it. When I visited New York a second time I told my girlfriend we had to go here. We had eaten a lot earlier in the day and I still insisted we come here because we didn't have much time left and I really didn't wanna miss out. The kimchi chicken sandwich was phenomenal, and the wings were out of this world. The sandwich in particular was so saucy which made it overall so flavorful. The wings are exactly what you'd expect and more - perfectly crispy, crunchy, and juicy. Was I full from our earlier meals? Yes. But stopping by here on our last night was the right call. Generally I'm easy to please, but when I went back home and asked my peers from NY what they thought about this place, they agreed that it was definitely good! It's unfortunate this location closed down but I'm glad there's still other locations that are open. I just hope they're still conveniently located when I plan my next trip. I literally don't stop thinking about this place when it comes to chicken, their name really fits!

    Service: 4.5/5 Food: 4.2/5…read morePrice: $$ ($20-30) Finally tried this place after like 4 years. Huge space that was completely empty on July 4th, probably bc everyone else was bbq-ing. I think owners are a Korean wife + white husband duo, which would explain the menu options (korean fried chicken + seafood boil). Not sure if it's true for just this location or the entire franchise. Solid fried chicken + fries whose crispiness stays for your trip home (at lease a 30 min commute). Tip: order sauce on the side so you have plain + sauced wings. What I Ordered: - Wings: on the smaller side - Sweet + Spicy sauce: indeed a little spicy for my weak tolerance, needed to pace myself - Soy Garlic sauce: classic - Sweet Potato Fries: soggy + plain- no seasoning (other places have cinnamon sugar?) - Truffle Fries: fragrant + crispy
