Adios, Taste Agave. There’s a new guy in town.

The one-time taco and tequila stop on North Second Street in Harrisburg has shifted gears. Starting Friday, the taco format will be replaced with Buffalo wings, beef on weck, beer and something new for Harrisburg, a smash room.

Owner Ron Kamionka has transformed the restaurant at 31 N. Second St. into Taste Buffalo Wing It & Fling It, a sit-down venue with bar food and an outlet to help alleviate stress.

Earlier this year he opened Taste as a rotating taste room where the concept will change twice a year. He kicked it off with a taco and tequila theme.

“We want to bring different experiences to Harrisburg and it’s not always going to be about food,” Kamionka said.

Taste Buffalo plays off the rage room trend. Patrons are encouraged to order a cocktail, glass of wine or bottle of beer, drink it and enter the enclosed smash room (with provided eye protection) where they fling their particular glassware against a wall of targets.

In this case, the targets are President Donald Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Targets will change in the future, with the sky being the limit as far as possible subjects, Kamionka said.

Rage rooms have been a popular trend in other parts of the country - mostly metropolitan areas - and allow participants to destroy anything from electronics to furniture using sledgehammers.

“I’ll tell you, there is an adrenaline rush,” Kamionka said. “Fifty percent of it is that feeling you get from a carnival game. The other 50 percent is the adrenaline rush of getting to smash something.

If smashing isn’t your thing, the restaurant also serves a menu of fun foods including wings with choice of more than two different house made sauces. Pick from less traditional options such as chili lime, strawberry or Asian zing or select standards like Old Bay, smoked buffalo or garlic parmesan.

Beyond wings, Taste Buffalo serves traditional Buffalo favorites - beef on weck, a sandwich made with carved roast beef and a horseradish aioli; Buffalo style pizza, a hybrid of a Chicago deep dish and New York thin slice pie; and spaghetti parm, a bowl of spaghetti covered in mozzarella cheese with a side of marinara.
