Wings & Things is a relatively new lounge in Marquette, where I live. I went there a couple of weeks ago with my dad and his fiancee, Kim, to try out their wings.

Wings & Things is located in a bowling alley and it is very sporty. Like most sports bars, it had a lot of sports being shown on television and sports decorations. On the ceiling there was blankets with football teams featured on them.

The decorations were not what I was there to try, however, and my dad went to work ordering us a plate of wings to split. Instead of having the sauce put on the wings, which were cooked "naked" with no flouring, we had several kinds put on the side.

We tried the Parmesan Garlic sauce, the Garlic Butter, the Traditional Hot and the Sudden Death Hot.

The chicken wings themselves were cooked nearly to perfection. They were juicy with a crisp skin on the outside. They definitely passed the stand-alone taste test.

The sauces were also very good. The two garlic sauces were tasty, though not spicy at all. The Traditional Hot was my favorite out of the ones I tried. It was spicy, but not as spicy as I normally like. The Sudden Death was a little too hot, though it was fun trying it with my dad.

The Traditional Hot was the one I ate the most of and thought it was almost perfect in terms of wing sauces. It wasn't runny and it had a nice bite to it.

Overall, I am going to give Wings & Things a rating of 8 out of 10. I would recommend any wing fan to stop and try it if they are in the Marquette area and it is one of my favorite places to get wings from right now.

FINAL SCORE: 8-out-of-10
