A small chain of wing places that got its start in Massachusetts has closed one of its Boston-area locations.
According to a Facebook post from Boston-based editor and DJ Michael Marotta, Wings Over Brookline is no longer in operation, with the place saying that the closure was "due to circumstances outside of our control." The chain refers customers to its Boston and Somerville locations, while other outlets in the region include shops in Framingham, Lowell, and Worcester.
Wings Over, which first started out in Amherst in 1999, features regular and boneless wings with a variety of sauce options.
The address for the now-closed Wings Over Brookline was 477 Harvard Sreet, Brookline, MA 02446. The website for the chain can be found at http://wingsover.com/

Caffe Nero and Wingstop to Open in Same Building in South Boston
A London-based chain of coffee shops and a Texas-based chicken wing chain are looking to open new locations in South Boston, and they will apparently be housed in the same building.
Eater Boston is reporting (via @draftgods) that Caffe Nero and Wingstop are both planning on opening at 416 W. Broadway, which is at the corner of F Street one block west of the Dorchester Street intersection. Caffe Nero currently has nine locations in the Greater Boston area (including a nearby location in Fort Point), while Wingstop has two locations in East Boston and Medford.
It is not yet known when the South Boston location of Wingstop might open, but Eater says that Caffe Nero could possibly debut in mid- to late spring in 2017.
The website for Caffe Nero can be found at http://www.caffenero.com/ while the website for http://www.wingstop.com/ is at http://www.wingstop.com/
[June 10, 2017 update: The new location of Caffe Nero could be one step closer to opening by this coming week, as the Boston Licensing Board will look into its request for a common victualler license on Wednesday, June 14. (The status of Wingstop is still not known.)]
[August 9, 2017 update: According to a tweet, Caffe Nero soft-opened in South Boston today, with the place being open from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM and serving free coffee to its customers.]

Wingstop Opening Locations in Medford and East Boston
Nearly eight years after first reporting about it, a Texas-based chicken wing chain will finally be bringing its first locations to the Boston area.
An email sent today indicates that Wingstop plans to open shops in Medford and East Boston, with the former opening this Wednesday at the Fellsway Plaza and the latter coming this fall to Central Square. Based on the other locations of the chain, expect to see wings, boneless wings, and chicken tenders with a wide variety of sauces offered.
Back in late 2008, we had mentioned that Wingstop--which is headquartered in Dallas--had signed franchise agreements to open a couple of locations in the Boston area. Currently, the only three shops in New England can be found in Hartford, Storrs, and Vernon, CT.
The website for Wingstop is at http://www.wingstop.com/
[November 15 update: A Twitter post sent from the place indicates that the East Boston location of Wingstop will open on Wednesday, November 16, making this the second shop to open in the local area (the other opening in Medford over the summer, as mentioned above).]

Native Grill and Wings to Come to Boston
A small chain of restaurants known for its Buffalo wings--and with a connection to the city where it all started--is on its way to the local area.
According to an article in the Phoenix Business Journal, Native Grill & Wings is planning to expand to Boston, confirming what an earlier article in Nation's Restaurant News says about a regional area development agreement being set up in New England for them. It is not known exactly when the chain will debut in the area (or how many may open around Boston), with the Business Journal simply saying that eight franchised locations will come to cities such as Boston, Boise, Dallas, Tulsa, Tucson, and Yuma over the next several years.
According to its website, Buffalo natives Floyd and Judy Anderson moved to Arizona in the late 1970s and opened a place called Native New Yorker, which initially specialized in pizza but changed its focus to wings. In 2014, the restaurant changed its name to Native Grill & Wings and today has locations in Arizona, Montana, South Dakota, and Texas. (Niagara Frontier Publications states that the Andersons were inducted into the Buffalo Wing Hall of Fame in 2014.)

A group of Korean fried chicken franchises with three locations in the Boston area and Eastern Massachusetts is going to be opening a fourth, with this one coming to the North Shore.
According to a Twitter post from over the weekend, BonChon is planning to open in Salem, with a check on their website confirming that it is indeed on its way.

Wings Over Arlington Has Closed
A small chain of wing places based in Massachusetts has gotten just a bit smaller, as one of its Boston-area locations has closed.
According to a poster on the Chowhound site, Wings Over Arlington is no longer in business, with a sign at the Mass. Ave. shop referring customers to the Somerville location. (A phone call confirms this, with the message saying that it has indeed closed down.) It appears that the other locations of Wings Over in the Boston area and elsewhere in the region--including in Boston, Somerville, Brookline, Framingham, Lowell, Worcester, and Providence, RI--remain open for business.
Wings Over first started out in Amherst in 1999 and now has a handful of locations on the East Coast and in the Great Lakes area. The shops feature regular and boneless wings with a variety of sauce options, including teriyaki, honey mustard, Jamaican jerk, and sweet chili.
The address for the now-closed Wings Over Arlington was 217 Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington, MA, 02474. The website for the chain can be found at http://wingsover.com/

Moody's Delicatessen and Provisions Is Opening The Backroom in Former Wings Express Space
An award-winning deli and specialty food shop in Waltham is expanding into the space where a wings spot had been.
A Twitter post from @ryangrannand (via information from @CouncilW9) indicates that Wings Express on Moody Street is no longer in business, with Moody's Delicatessen and Provisions taking over the space. According to @CouncilW9, the expansion will allow Moody's to have more seating. Last year we reported that the Wings Over chain was looking to take over the Wings Express space, but that fell through and Wings Express continued in operation up until now. Based on a Twitter note from @brandnewwatch, it looks like Wings Express may have shuttered over the past few days.
Moody's Delicatessen and Provisions first opened its doors last fall and has since received a number of accolades, including a "Best Of" award from Boston Magazine this year.
The address for the former Wings Express space was 464 Moody Street, while the address for Moody's is 468 Moody Street. The website for Moody's can be found at http://moodyswaltham.com/
[August 20 update: Boston Magazine mentions that Moody's expansion will give the spot a capacity of up to 50, with the space having a full bar with 16 seats and an "island of slicers." The article also says that owner Joshua Smith plans to set up a 10,000-square-foot food manufacturing facility somewhere in the nearby area that will ultimately allow Moody's to distribute its foods to dining spots around the country.]
[December 10 update: It looks like the new "restaurant" section of Moody's is getting close to opening, as a post within the jobs section of the BostonChefs.com site indicates that it is now hiring for cook positions. In addition, an Instagram photo from this week shows a picture of the outside of the former Wings Express space, with a note saying "We have a storefront."]
[February 5, 2015 update: According to a new post within the jobs section of the BostonChefs.com site, the expanded space at Moody's will be a wine bar that features a wood-fired oven, with the restaurant/bar being open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday.]
[March 20, 2015 update: A new article in Boston Magazine mentions that the new concept from Moody's--which will be called The Backroom--plans to open April 8.]

[December 6 update: Wicked Local Waltham reports that Wings Over will not be coming to Lexington Street in Waltham after all, as the City Council's Ordinance and Rules Committee ruled against it, citing potential traffic issues in the area.]
[June 11, 2013 update: According to a job post on the Craigslist site, it looks like Wings Over will be coming to Waltham after all, though its exact location is unknown. As soon as we find out an address, we will post another update here. (The post says that it will open this summer.)]
[June 11, 2013 update #2: An earlier article in the Waltham Patch mentions that the new Wings Over is looking to move into the former Wings Express space at 464 Moody Street. (Thanks to several Twitter followers for bringing this to our attention.)]
Wings Over first started out in Amherst in 1999, with its headquarters now being in nearby Hadley. In addition to its Amherst, Brookline, and Somerville locations, Wings Over can also be found in Framingham, Lowell, Springfield, and Worcester, as well as some other locations in Connecticut, Washington, DC, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia. [Ed note: A new Wings Over has also opened by Northeastern University in Boston.]

Buffalo Wild Wings Opens in Danvers
After a couple of years of stops and starts, a national chain of casual restaurants and sports bars has finally opened in Danvers, making this its second location in the Boston area.
According to a poster on Chowhound, Buffalo Wild Wings is now open at the Liberty Tree Mall. (An earlier article in the Boston Globe mentioned that it has taken over the space where Vinny T's used to be.) The new Buffalo Wild Wings--which is also known as BW3--joins another location that opened this past April on Main Street in Saugus.
Back in 2009, we had reported that BW3 had been looking to open in the former Boater's World space on Independence Way, but that apparently fell through somewhere along the way.
Buffalo Wild Wings first started out in Ohio in the 1980s, eventually growing to more than 700 locations today, according to the chain's website. BW3 features both traditional chicken wings and boneless wings, along with other items such as nachos, mini corn dogs, ribs, burgers, and cheesecake.
The address for this new restaurant in Danvers is: Buffalo Wild Wings, 100 Independence Way, Danvers, MA, 01923. The website for the restaurant chain can be found at http://www.buffalowildwings.com/

Buffalo Bo's Reopens as a Food Truck
Boston now has a food truck that features chicken wings, and the name of the truck may be a familiar one to some.
According to the West Roxbury Transcript and Wicked Local, Buffalo Bo's has reopened as a food truck after having two different bricks-and-mortar locations in Roslindale, both of which are now closed. The article mentions that the owner of Buffalo Bo's decided to set up a food truck after being forced to close his Hyde Park Avenue and Washington Street restaurants due to high rents. The truck moves around to stations in Roslindale, Jamaica Plain, and West Roxbury, including American Legion Market and Liquors on the American Legion Highway and T&S Auto Body on Hyde Park Avenue, according to the article.
In addition to wings (including boneless wings), Buffalo Bo's features such items as ribs, steak tips, burgers, hot dogs, and chili.

Results of Twitter Chicken Wing Poll
Our latest Twitter poll has just wrapped up, with this one dealing with best chicken wings in the Boston area. Our previous polls have included a macaroni and cheese poll (Fat Cat in Quincy won), a fried clam poll (JT Farnham's in Essex), an onion ring poll (Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage in Cambridge), a hot dog poll (Spike's Junkyard Dogs), a pizza poll (Santarpio's in East Boston), a burger poll (Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage), and a lobster roll poll (Neptune Oysters in the North End). The results of our chicken wing poll are rather lopsided, with one spot being well above all of the others:
1) Buff's Pub, Newton (47%)
A number of other restaurants were picked in the Twitter chicken wing poll as well, including Chicken Bone (Framingham), Deep Ellum (Allston), Hi-Fi Pizza Pie (Dorchester), the Orchard Park Grill (Watertown), Penguin Pizza (Brigham Circle), Wendell's Pub (Norton), Wings Over Brookline (Brookline), and Wings Over Somerville (Somerville).
Thanks to everyone who has voted in our Twitter polls. We will start another poll sometime this week, so keep checking back on our Twitter page at http://twitter.com/hiddenboston.
