Whether you're craving BBQ, tiki drinks or something fresh from the nearest farmers market, we're always on the lookout for the best eats in America. This time we identified places on Yelp with rave reviews about wings, and then ranked them based on review volume, ratings and more to bring you the best of the best in your neck of the U.S. Hooters and Buffalo Wild Wings are fine and all, but sometimes, you've got to break free from the chains.
Alabama
Saw's Soul Kitchen, Birmingham
Tossed in a spicy red sauce and then topped in a classic Alabama white sauce, these wings are major key.
Alaska
Moose's Tooth, Anchorage
A hip concert venue and brewery, Moose's tooth has all the essentials for a good time, including bomb wing tossed in either sweet & spicy Korean sauce or hot & spicy habanero.
Arizona
Casanova Brothers, Gilbert
The Casanova bros keep it classic with some amazing traditional buffalo wings. Bonus: They sell great pizzas and classic Italian fare, too.
Arkansas
Flying Saucer, Little Rock
This beer hall has all the best brews your heart could desire plus classic German and bar food, and — of course — killer wings in buffalo or mojo cajun sauce.
California
Big Al's Pizzeria, Maywood
Big Al's is big on choices: Their wings come tossed in a variety of sauce options including buffalo, BBQ, lemon pepper, sweet & spicy, Jamaican, spicy BBQ, and habanero.
Colorado
Grillin' Wings & Things, Lone Tree
As the name implies, this joint is all about grilling. Here wings are deep fried, grilled until crispy, and then tossed in one of 12 sauces (and they're all gluten-free). For adventurous eaters, there's also "pig wings," AKA bone-in mini pork shanks prepared just like chicken flappers.
Connecticut
Dew Drop Inn, Derby
With more than 80 sauce options, it's no wonder the Dew Drop Inn won the title of Best Wings in Connecticut in 2016. The sauce options sound insane but are totally worth trying. Notable mentions are cajun taco butter, cucumber wasabi, parm butter bacon, strawberry habanero, and s'mores.
Washington, D.C.
KoChix, Washington
What's better than Korean-inspired chicken wings? Probably nothing, except maybe extra crispy and cheap Korean-inspired wings, and KoChix checks all these boxes.
Delaware
Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, Pike Creek
Tired of fried wings? Anthony's does them coal-oven roasted and topped with caramelized onions, basically they're fancy (and delicious) AF.
Florida
Tikanis, St. Petersburg
Pizza? Check. Craft beer? Check. Bomb wings? Check. Pictured here are Jamaican jerk wings, but you can also get your flappers in mild-hot, honey BBQ, Teriyaki, and garlic parmesan sauces.
Georgia
Treylor Park, Savannah
Done with buffalo? How about PB&J wings? These babies are tossed in a peanut/pecan butter & peach jelly sauce. Crazy or crazy good? You be the judge.
Hawaii
Vons Chicken, Honolulu
Located inside of a supermarket, these Korean-style wings will have you making excuses to hit the grocery store. Specifically the Shoyu Chicken.
Idaho
Bittercreek Alehouse, Boise
Bittercreek has a great selection of poutines and fries, but the real winners on the menu are its classic buffalo wings.
Illinois
Del Seoul, Chicago
These K-Town chicken wings come lollipop style and tossed with a baller soy, chili, and garlic glaze. Is your mouth watering yet?
Indiana
Chatham Tap Restaurant & Pub, Indianapolis
If you find yourself in Indianapolis, you have to try Chatham's Prince Dean's Angel wings. Tossed in an amazing secret signature sauce, they're definitely Indy must-haves.
Iowa
The Salty Dog Bar & Grill, Council Bluffs
Fried or grilled? Why not both? The wings at The Salty Dog are always finished on the grill for a little extra oomph. They have all the classic sauces, but if you're extra adventurous, you might want to check out their ghost pepper wings—careful, though, because they're 🔥 .
Kansas
El Pollo Rey, Kansas City
Proving that you don't need to pay top dollar for incredible food, these food-truck wings from El Pollo Rey are not only incredible, they're also mad cheap.
Kentucky
Mark's Feed Store, Louisville
The BBQ here is great, but Mark's Famous Honeywings are famous (and trademarked) for a reason.
Louisiana
Blue Oak BBQ, New Orleans
Smoked wings at this NOLA spot come in a variety of kickin' sauces, including house ranch, celery rooster, buffalo inferno, and kung pao.
Maine
The Honey Paw, Portland
These wings come doused in a lime-chili-coconut sauce that will transport you to Southeast Asia—minus the pricey plane ticket.
