Smackdown: Hot wings

MaGerks

Wings 'n' things: A small order equals 10 wings plus plenty of blue cheese dressing and celery.

Hot stuff: We received our wings quickly the Saturday we visited the Federal Hill location. Six drumettes outnumbered the four double-bone wings. We noticed the wings' mild, peppery taste, which was a welcome change. The wings were a little small. We like a lot of meat for our money, but the somewhat scant amount of sauce meant our fingers were relatively goo free.

Investment: $9 for 10 wings

Bottom line: MaGerks' wings are serviceable if the mood for wings strikes at that moment you're in the restaurant.
