With that said, I'll tell you this, since I moved to Florida in 1982, until last week, I said there is no such thing as a "Buffalo Wing" in Florida. I tried them all just about everywhere around the state that tried to claim braggin rights on the Real Wing! Decisions I would rsate a 2 out of a 5. Hooters and Winghouse at a .5. I was a Champs lover who came close and I would rate them at a 3.5. My new hangout on Monday nights is now Ale Gators who I would rate at a 4 +, the highest I have rated anywhere. They were the largest wing I ever had, although the sauce is about in the 3 rage of Anchor Bar's. All of what you said about the service and interior is great. My turn off and my co-workers will not go there because of what I saw when I walked in. Biker parking for what ;looked like the Hells Angels with 7 people tatooed large enougg to play in the NFL, only the NFL doesn't allow leathers with patches everywhere. Nothing against bikers as I prefer to drive a Honda Goldwing fo rtouring, but come on. So to get the good wings I have to go alone which is a bummer. My wife won't even go there with me because of a few stories she heard. So Champs it is if I plan to have company, but Ale's has it goin on with the wings. To them, get rid of the catering to bikers. They sip on bear all night, rarely eat or spend money on food. Pool tables, that invites trouble. Do a remake on the patrons you cater to and the real money will come, from those who will spend it on the right food and atmosphere. My compliments to Gators on the wings, you are on to something!
