"Hot Honey Wings"

Just off Ackerson Street, under the soft clatter of cornhole bags and a reggae beat, Ends Meat Eats serves up Hot Honey Wings that blur the line between comfort and craftsmanship.



Each bite is a flash-fried lacquer of golden crunch, laced in a drizzle so sticky-sweet it stings with precision—courtesy of Melinda herself, who still hand-finishes each batch when the yard’s packed.


This isn’t bar food. It’s chef-executed indulgence in a fire-lit yard where regulars sip Juicy Haze and Wave Chaser under the glow of string lights.

Chef Dan's "Jarican Wings"

Only on weekends does the smoke in Bay Shore carry the unmistakable scent of "Jarican" fire. These "Jarican Wings"—flame-torched, lacquered in secret island marinades, and kissed by the kind of char that only comes from true patience—are a Caribbean love letter sealed in crackling skin. Chef Dan Kroger fuses Jamaican fire with Puerto Rican soul—his Jarican wings explode with island essence, bold seasoning, and visual swagger.

Every bite starts like a savory indulgence , then floods your mouth with tamarind tang, sweet heat, and wild herbs charred into the flesh. You can smell them before they hit your table—smoke curling like a signal from the yard where live tunes and cold IPAs set the tempo.



👉 Only served Friday to Sunday.


If you're not here by then, you're not tasting Bay Shore's best-kept secret.
