Ask any South Tampa local and MacKenzies Sports Tavern is where you spend nights and weekends with friends shooting pool with lots of cold beer.
For countless times, I’ve walked past the big sign at the front door that says ”Home of the Best Wings on the Planet”.
But I’m never really there during lunch or dinner, and it’s hard for me to look cool with a cue stick in one hand and a chicken wing in the other. LOL
But on Yelp this morning, I saw a post mentioning a dry rub seasoning (my favorite). I reached out to the tavern and the owner Lisa Marie confirmed yes, her husband makes all the house-made sauces including the dry rub. So my dinner plans were made.
We intentionally did not call in our take out order so we could have a Jai Alai IPA (Cigar City Brewing) and watch the game.
Wing orders are eight (8) pieces for $11.95, so we ordered two, which arrived in a large aluminum foil tray. The big reveal at home was exactly what we wanted - big wing portions with a crunchy coating.
There was zero grease on the bottom of the tray. The dry rub seasoning was perfect and spicy.
On the side, we ordered two sauces: Garlic Parmesan (tons of garlic chunks) and Bloody Mary (peppery spicy flavor just like the drink).
How could I not be a fan of tonight’s dinner with my two favorites - dry rub seasoning and spicy housemade sauces. Yes, we’re definitely ordering again.
When MacKenzies Sports Tavern claims the BEST wings in the world - they’re kinda right. MacKenzies Sports Tavern is located at 4015 S. Westshore Blvd. (behind Circle K Shell).
