Sy's Pizza and Subs, Home, Pa. — Restaurant in Rayne Township

Whole wings are fantastic!!!

I'm not from this area, but stopped by Sy's for lunch one day when traveling between job sites from Marion Center to Apollo; it was a Monday and there were very few options to choose from. I wasn't expecting much; my intention was to just order a pretty standard sub when I noticed that they had full wings on the menu.

I ordered ten whole wings in two different sauces: "Buttery Garlic with Sy's Seasoning (GI)" and "Sweet Hot". I also ordered a small "Pizza Fry" even though I knew I wouldn't have any hope of finishing it. The lady working the counter told me that the wings would take 24 minutes and that she would bring the food out to me when it was ready.

The dining room is large, comfortable and pretty clean. If I were to nitpick it at all, I would recommend removing the old carpet and going with any kind of hard flooring that can be mopped. I just don't trust carpet in a restaurant.

Anyways, I grabbed a seat and did some work from my laptop while I waited. The pizza fries came out first. They were good, there was plenty of sauce and provolone mixed throughout. The fries did get a little bit soggy, but overall, I liked them and would get again.

A little while later, the wings came out and they looked amazing. There isn't any discernable breading; they are either totally naked or have an extremely thin coating, then tossed liberally in sauce and seasoning. Unbelievable. Some of the prettiest wings I have photographed.

The taste was everything that you could ever hope for. Perfect crunch on the outside (not too hard, but also not soggy or gummy) and perfectly tender on the inside. In between bursts of wing flavor, all I could think is, "Oh my god. Why is this place so far from my house?"

If you like wings, especially whole wings, you really need to give this place a shot, even if it's a little bit out of the way.

PS: I review many wing places in Western PA. Consider giving me a follow if you like wings as...

We just had a pizza there this time. We have never had a bad visit ever. Food is always hot and delicious. Wings are sooooo good. I love the GI flavor. Always crispy and yummy. We like both locations. The one in clymer has wait staff to get your the one in Home just has you order at the counter which is fine by me . Either way everyone is so nice and it's always clean ! The Chicken Philly sandwich is amazing ! The prices are very reasonable I think because you usually get enough for the next days lunch. Chicken Salad is really huge and very delicious! Love the wraps too, peach bourbon is my favorite . Wings are on special now on Thursdays. Pizza and drinks was $22? I think I spent 24 on chicken nuggets and ff at McDonald's for my son , much...

Sy's has a pretty comfy atmosphere created by all the knick-knacks to look at in the store. The service is pretty good and the big sheets of pizza are great for feeding large groups of kids.

I will say, however, that I am not a fan of the pizza. Most people enjoy the pizza here but it does not sit well with me. However, the quality of their other foods, particularly their breadsticks, fries, Philly cheese sandwiches, mac and cheese, and wings make it a great restaurant. So if you're looking for pizza, go to the gas station across the street (no, seriously - it's extremely good for some odd reason), but if you're looking for other bar foods,...
