Sidelines in Millvale. Best wings in the area- great sauces, always come out super fresh and crispy.

Bigshot Bob's is in second place for me, but suffers a bit for basically being takeout only (though a couple locations have a handful of tables)- by the time you get it home, it's not crispy anymore. I've also gotten some clearly old/frozen wings from them before (and have never had that happen at Sidelines). That said, 90% of the time BSB's is a great option and is still a firm second place in my book.

I haven't had wings in a while, especially since they have become more expensive per ounce than most precious metals, but the Quaker Steak wings are awesome. It's not so much the wings themselves which are usually kinda average sized... It's the Louisiana Lickers sauce. My god it's delicious.

We also like Wings Suds and Spuds out in Moon. They are damn good.

Bigshot Bob's if I want sauced wings. Dragon Town in Bellevue if I want just well seasoned, well cooked wings.

Insurrection Aleworks are the best and don’t really have any peers.

Sidelines or Insurrection Ale Works.

For those that love the mouth-breather, mark madden, he's not totally off base with Conway Pizza

Poor Richard's Public House for wings with a burger and beer

A bit tangential, but I got ten pounds of wings from Tom Fridays for $30 and made them for a friendsgiving. Tossed them in a buffalo ranch dry sauce, and they were great.

For reference, BSB charges $20 for 13 wings.

Bigham Tavern in the Mount. Favorite type/sauces are: Hot Garlic, Dingo, Hyena

I haven’t had wings from there or anywhere recently as the cheapskate in me prevents me from paying, “market price” for wings.

I’m a big fan of doughboys because their sauces are the best I had on some damn fine chicken wings.

Also Sidelines was good as hell when I tried em out. No love for Fat Heads? Can’t say I’ve had bad wings out here,

Yeah I love BSB but I think there are only two original locations anymore (Avalon and Kennedy Twp maybe?). I live near the one in Avalon and always have great wings when I order but not sure about the other locations as they seem to be spun off as a small chain.

Carl's right off 22 in Wilkins twp is a great place the gf and I frequent, and their wings are phenomenal!

Franklin Inn has grilled wings that are to die for. They only come in one flavor (hot) so obviously not the variety that OP might be looking for but would 10/10 still recommend.

Extremely unpopular opinion but wings are a trash piece of meat (ducks for downvotes). But seriously their value, especially at current prices is ridiculous for that piece of meat. That said, I do get a hankering for wings. Stinkys in Lawrenceville has decent wings. Fat Head's used to be the best in the city, not sure if they are anymore. Gateway Grill in Monroeville used to have good wings also! Sorry for unpopular opinion but if wings were still super cheap bar food then meh, but at their cost, it's trash.

Cool, thanks! I used to hit up Carl's often bc they were one of the OG places to get decent bar food and craft beer! Way before the craft beer boom. Always loved it there. I'd even stop on a Saturday afternoon for a burger. I'll have to go back sometime soon. Thanks!

San Francisco Wild wings at Mad Mex are fantastic. The chicken is fried better than many wing places.

Garlic Parm with a side of Buffalo from Pizzeria Davide are also amazing.

Streets on the Fly food truck does the most tender and decadent wings I've had.

Used to be Excuses on the South Side. Now that it's closed, and I have the recipe, I make the best wings at home.

Wings Suds and Spuds in Moon and Harold’s Mountain Style Wings in Hopewell. Also Zookies in Beaver. Big Shot Bobs can be good but seem To be hit or miss. They seem to focus more on quantity rather than quality.

Would donate blood for recipe. Grew up on 17th and those wings have had a part of my heart since my older sister would bring them home after drinking and watching local bands in the 90's. RIP to the Real McCoy as well, many days of my youth spent panhandling quarters to play the Street Fighter II/MK cabinets as a juvenile delinquent in grunge era Southside...
