I was driving down Old Seward on the way home after studying for a few hours and I decided to stop here on a whim. The place is located in a small strip mall next to a bank and the Texas Roadhouse. Winky's has a small area in the front with a stool and a couple of old-school arcade games as well as some TVs to keep you busy while you wait for your order. The atmosphere and look of the place may look ordinary and unassuming, but like I've stated in previous reviews of Tommy's Burger Stop and AJ's Ribs, don't let the appearance fool you. Winky's Wings is the first wing place I've come across in Anchorage that definitely knows how to make garlic parmesan wings the right way. I ordered a 10 pc. extra crispy with celery and extra blue cheese and when I tried them for the first time, I became hooked. The wings were perfectly crisp without the meat being dry and they did an outstanding job of chopping the garlic and frying it into the wings along with the parmesan. This is how garlic wings are supposed to be made not with the garlic being sprinkled on top after frying them in hot sauce. Celery was fresh and the blue cheese was a delicious complement for the wings. It is a good idea to call ahead when ordering for carry-out as the wait may be a while with delivery orders getting higher priority. In addition to the wings, they have a varied menu of burgers, Cajun dishes, seafood, sandwiches, and salads. Some of the other wing flavors that I intend to try out next time are the Winky's original style, Lemon Pepper, and Southern Fried. Other noteworthy items on their menu that caught my attention as well are the Boss Hog Burger (double bacon, ham, fried egg, American, Swiss, mayo and lettuce for those who want to throw caution to the wind in regards to cholesterol), the Big John Burger (ham, hotlinks, bacon, sautéed onions, mushrooms, jalapenos, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles), the Winky Bacon Cheese Dog (all beef hotdog wrapped in bacon, deep fried, and topped with cheese sauce...definitely a guilty pleasure), the Catfish Platter (three deep-fried fillets with fries, coleslaw and a side of hot sauce...as a former resident of North Carolina, I sorely miss down-home Southern cooking and I look forward to trying this out), and Winky's Gumbo (traditional dark roux made with trinity, chicken, and sausage...another winner). Service here is friendly and a hidden low-key gem with great food here in town with another good reason to support locally-owned businesses against major national chains. This will definitely be another welcome option for wings during football season or if I feel homesick for Southern cuisine.
