Favorite onion rings

Here's a related question:

Breaded or batter-dipped?

I say, "yes."

Arni's (those with fryers) has good rings, as does Union Jack in Speedway.

Hall's in Fort Wayne has always been my favorite. Lots of grease and meaty onions. They are the bacon of onion rings.

Adams Lake Pub has some great Black and Tan rings. Usually get two orders and beer(s) when I'm there.

Harry's Chocolate Shop in West Lafayette, IN. Sahm's in Indianapolis/Fishers has the same rings. Eddie Sahm was a cook at Harry's back in the '80's and has succesfully recreated the recipe. Thin, light crispy and just the right amount of "greasy"

Tried Sahm's o-rings Saturday night. You definitely get a basket full. Somewhat like Cheddar's, but not as meaty or flakey, & Cheddar's uses huge onions, & gives you a real good dipping sauce something like Outbacks. Much greasier. Cheddar's still numero uno IMHO so far.

Bubs has good rings and Muldoons used to have my favorite rings. Haven't been to Muldoons in a blue moon though.

Chatham Tap makes a nice ring.

I finally tried these last week. They were delicious! I'm torn between Chatham Tap and Cheddar's for best onion rings. Chatham Tap may have the edge.

I think the onion rings at BWW are pretty good actually.

Clementine's in South Haven, MI... world reknowned onion rings... served on a wood dowel... you buy them by the 6" or 12" dowel IIRC.... best onion rings I've ever had anywhere in the world...

Why not just make your own? Better than 95% of what you can buy out there and its easy and cheap. All you need is:
large sliced onion, flour, egg, beer, hot sauce, baking powder and cooking oil.
Mix the dry ingredients. Add the beer, egg, hotsauce until you have a pancake batter consistency. Heat your oil to about 360, slice the onion, dip in batter and fry till golden brown. Now open another beer and enjoy

My favorite restaurant rings are at Chedders, also very fond of the Cactus Blossom at Texas Roadhouse. My recipe for rings at home is very simple. Simple egg and milk egg wash, dry mix of flour seasoned with Lawry's seasoning. Dip ring in flour mix, into egg wash, back into flour mix, into fryer. Very good flavor nice and crisp texture.

We just make our own, make a nice beer batter and they pretty tasty.
