Restaurant Review - Farr Street Tavern

Though they aren't exactly what most people think of when they hear the words “buffalo wings”, the peppery, tomatoey beauties served up at the Farr Street Tavern in West Scranton's Tripp's Park neighborhood will win over even the most stalwart of Buffalo purists. It should also be noted that in addition to a unique and flavorful sauce, Farr Street Tavern's wings are consistently cooked to perfection. It has been our experience that unlike Farr Street, many of the usual “wing nights” around town often sacrifice quality and consistency to meet the increase in demand. What, if anything, is worse than undercooked, flabby wings? .... shiver me timbers.

Additional noteworthy menu items are the burgers, which beat any of the offerings at the so called gourmet burger chains popping up on Commerce Boulevard, and the outstanding steak fries.

So the next time you decide to make it a “wing night”, go off the beaten path and try something new. Enjoy the game, order up some wings and a cold one, and leave a nice tip. Farr Street Tavern is a great find.

UPDATE: Farr Street allows smoking so with the new laws you can't take your kids in there anymore. We go early to avoid the cloud of smoke that hangs in the air after 8pm or so.
