I just love Mugsy's. Can't beat their wings. Hands down the best in town. Beer selection has improved and have come to enjoy the cheese balls. Best Parmesan wings ever. And we had a turtle brownie today that was out of this world!
I was craving wings while visiting some friends in Bloomington. I was told Mugsys was the place and they were not wrong. I ordered 18 boneless 6 intense (hottest of the Buffalo), 6 tropic thunder (spicy pineapple) and 6 blazing bourbon. The Intense KICKED MY ASS, as a seasoned spicy wings veteran I was astounded by this. I've done the blazing challenge, hot ones Apollo and last dab. These wings were right up there with those legends, HOWEVER these have unmatched flavor. They are painful but they will keep you coming back for more. The other two sauces were super sweet and lacked any noticeable heat. The blue cheese is house made and fantastic! The fries are nothing special but can help stop the mouth fire
The wings are ON POINT the sauces they have are literally LOVE in a sauce they have from sweet to my burn my booty hole hot and I love it the staff are always nice respectful helping
After a while of back and forth deciding what to eat, we landed on Mugsys. They had some pretty great reviews on their wings and decided to try. Called and placed a pick up order about an hour to close. Ordered my wings and went to order more but was told my total and was hung up on. That 's cool, I didn 't want fries anyway. The website is very straight to the point, they make everything pretty clear. We went with a 10pc wing and was allowed to choose 2 flavors. They had lots of flavor options of homade sauces. I went with tropic thunder and garlic parm, and a side of the homemade ranch. It 's was about $15 for wings only. The tropic thunder sauce was really good, little heat and like nothing I 've had before. The garlic parm was also very good, very garlicky and had fresh parm grated on top. Only issue is they are NOT full wings. A full wing is the flat and drum attached. These are broken in half and counted as one wing. Very good but a little disappointed about the size of the wing . All in all, I would be happy to try them again some time!
This place doesn't deserve any of the hate it gets. It's a dive bar through and through. If that's not your scene don't go, and definitely don't dump on this fine local establishment. That being said, everyone that lives here knows that this is THE spot for the best wings around. They make all their sauces in house and it shows, haven't had a bad wing from them yet.
