The award winning wings that put Port Jeff on the map, are now available in Smithtown.

Best Wings Long Island has helped Long Islanders find the best wings since two thousand eleven. And every Super Bowl season, I get hit with the same question:

“Where can I find the best wings on Long Island?”

And I say—well that depends. What kind of wings are we talkin' about here? Because literally any cuisine can be wing-ified. But if you want that real-deal, Buffalo-style slap-in-the-face flavor—the kind that tastes like it came straight from upstate NY?

I got you, Smithtown: BestWingsLI People's Choice Award Winner Port Bistro has moved to The Smithtown Bistro & Pub.

These guys? Put Port Jeff on the map for wings that don’t just deliver—they dominate. Their Buffalo wings? Instant classic. Their Parmesan Ranch? An AmazeWing remix of garlic parm that hits creamy, tangy, and zesty notes... all at once, without the polarizing intensity of garlic.

Now here’s the big play: Smithtown just won the wing lottery.

Because the crew behind Port Bistro—they’re transformed the old Smithtown Pasta House into the new Smithtown Bistro & Pub.

You can order their OutstandWing lineup right now!

Let’s break it down like it’s halftime.

The first thing I ever had at Port Bistro? Wasn’t wings. It was a burger. And it was kind of amazing.

Then I had the Reuben—stacked, heavy, a straight-up Long Island legend. But when I came back around for the wings? Game over.

The Buffalo? Textbook perfect. Crispy. Sauced. Meaty. Don’t-talk-to-me-I’m-eating level good.

And then—the Parmesan Ranch.

I was off garlic for a while, personal phase. But this? This was Alfredo-adjacent brilliance. A creamy remix of garlic parm style (without the garlic) that just smoked. Tang, zest, depth of flavor. I’m still dreaming about it.

There’s a Newsday plaque on the wall from the LI Wing Hunt Tour. That’s not handed out for existing—that’s earned in the fryer by the people's choice.
