Truly a cultish establishment, I've never known if Spike's has a more formal name. Anytime I've heard it mentioned, it has been followed with the epithet "up the mountain." This is due to Spike's location 15 minutes out of Tyrone straight up the mountain. You leave civilization and journey up Jamesville Pike through State Gameland 158 and other miscellaneous hunting grounds, then you'll know when you've reached Spikes when you see a dense barrier of cars surrounding a shack with some neon signs. If you're looking for sheik ambiance, then this is not your establishment.
Spike's has roughly 10-12 tables which are always full, so plan on having to stand for awhile on a Friday or Saturday night. Also plan on being aggressive and competitive to get one of those table because some of the locals are pretty sneaky. Why go to this much effort? Because these are the best GD wings you will ever have. I have never been much of a wing eater, but going to Spike's has made me embrace the cheese, grease, and fried chicken like I was born here. I don't care what kind of wings you order, but for the love of god, order wings.

I feel like these are pretty self-explanatory in their awesomeness

Bacon seems to be a common trend in your favorite menu items...
ReplyDeleteSpike's most certainly isn't fancy, but it has the best wings I have ever eaten. And most people that try them agree. Also, the soap dispenser in the men's restroom is an old mustard bottle. It doesn't get much more atmospheric than that. And to address your comment regarding the name of the establishment, it used to be called the Triangle, but has since officially changed its name to Spike's Pub.
