The Tastiest Chicken Wings in Charlotte

Why Not Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.9 (97) • $

"Best pizza I've had in Charlotte. I've been meaning to stop by this place for a while and finally got around to it for lunch. I placed my order online and it was ready to pick up in 15 minutes. I walked in and right back out. The pizza was fresh and hot plus it was actually thin and you had to fold it."

Samvay's Wings & Subs

★★★★★ 4.6 (103) • $

"Don't let the convenience store - liquor store setup fool you into thinking they have a not too great food selection. They absolutely do have great food! Genuine Thai food and pretty good wings and breakfast sandwiches"

Slice of Heaven Pizza & Wings

★★★★★ 4.5 (50) • $

"Our family was in town for the Polar Express. Based on Yelp reviews, we decided to try Slice of Heaven Pizza. The pizza was so good! They use quality cheese that strings. The crust was so good and thin, but not too thin. The staff were so friendly and made sure our family had a great experience. When we are in this area, our family will definitely return."

Gregory's Original

US Fried Chicken

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"If you are looking for the best fried chicken in the area this is it! Imagine chicken that taste so good that it practically melts in your mouth. You must try this place!"

Spiro's Wingz & Ale

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (23)

"Food is excellent! Wings are very flavorful! Mushroom chips are so crispy and yummy!!!"

Flip-a-Lo’s

★★★★☆ 3.9 (207) • $

"We've only ordered Flip A Loos through UberEats, and I can't being to explain the CHOKEHOLD the Flip a Loos fries with Flip n Gold have on me. I could literally eat this once a week. Their Buffalo chicken wrap is also phenomenal, perfectly wrapped with all the ingredients you want in a wrap. I will say the wings are a little smaller than other wing places locally, but the flavor is always on point! I would say the food is consistently delicious, especially these fries"

Towne Tavern - Fort Mill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (195) • $$

"Joined a friend for lunch today for the 'wings' special - 20 teriyaki sauce drums and flats, 'Coaches Style' (nice char)! Awesome and delicious! These are the best wings I have ever experienced. Melissa our server was attentive and super pleasant. This is the best deal in town...in the awesome sports setting - give it a try!"

Little Pigs Barbecue

★★★★☆ 4.1 (38) • $

"I got the daily special - BBQ Sandwich combo. This included fries and a drink for $8. I also got 3 hush puppies! I'm an eastern Carolina bbq girl so this sauce wasn't my favorite but that doesn't mean it's not good! It's just not my cup of tea. It tasted very good and the fries and hush puppies were amazing! It's a hole in the wall bbq joint - in my opinion those are always the best! The staff were all great and knew everyone coming into the restaurant! Such a small town feel! Stop in here for some proper Hickory style BBQ!"

Trackside Taproom

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"From the beginning Trackside has exceeded expectations. They have a very good variety of SC craft beers on tap and in the fridge. Service is friendly and fast. Add live music on the weekends and you have a great night out. Since they've added food you have just about everything you could ask for. The wings are one of the best in town, try the Cheerwine sauce. Trackside's cook is wonderful. Everything he puts on a plate is done with perfection. You gotta go. Enjoy the history of downtown Gaffney with a hot dish, music and cold brew."

Empire Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (159) • $

"I hate pizza. But I could eat an entire empire pizza. The quality and the service are just amazing. This pizza is the only pizza I've ever truly loved and would choose to order again (and I've had pizza in Italy). Their pizzas are huge too. Great value!"

Padovas Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.2 (68)

"Ok Buckeye State Pizza Lovers!There's a place for a taste of home. Padovas Pizza is the real deal. Thin crust, tavern style and cut with those little charred Ezzo pepperoni cups that transport me instantly back to my hometown of Columbus, Ohio.No inside seating to I had to eat my pizza while driving home to Hickory but the drive is worth it. They will also par bake a pizza for you to take home ( aka take n bake) so you can have that fresh delicious pizza from your own oven. I can't wait to go back and am clearing freezer space now for them. Yes I was a glutton and inhaled half the pizza on my drive home! The owners are Ohioans and the pizza shop is a tribute to the Buckeye States sports teams! Get you some great pizza today!"

Illianos pizza

★★★★☆ 3.8 (52) • $

"Great pizza. I just wish they would offer delivery. Chicken fingers and their chef salad is also very good."

Blue 42s Burger Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (81) • $$

"This place was GREAT. We had to wait a bit for a table 'cause it was crowded - but after trying to food we were not at all surprised by the busy-ness. Even tho it was busy, service was great. We never had to ask for refills and waitress was super attentive. After seeing so many reviews saying to try the PB&J Burger we couldn't resist - and SO glad we didn't!!! We JUST left and are already talking about wanting to go back. This burger sounds like a bad idea, but no. It was incredible. The jam was amazing. Just trust all the reviews and try it. We did go medium well 'cause a lot of reviews mention the burger being pink, but it was still super juicy and perfect. We also had the pretzel for an appetizer and again - totally blown away. So crisp and good. It came with queso, but we didn't even need it the pretzel was so delicious. I had the fish and chips which were great as well, crunchy and delicious. Just all so good.It IS a sports bar, but the tvs aren't loud or obtrusive. We could hear each other well. All in all a great experience! We will definitely be back 'cause I'm gonna crave that pretzel and he's going to want that burger!"

China Wok 2

★★★★☆ 4.1 (55) • $

"Tried this for the first time this weekend because everyone on a local food group was recommending. I ordered the food, hubby picked it up.We had crab Rangoon, egg rolls, vegetable lo mein and sesame chicken.Ordering was easy, not a long wait, hubs said restaurant was clean and people friendly.Food tasted fresh and not oily like other takeout restaurants. Good portions! Enough for lunch the next day for 2 people. We will be back!"

Shawkers Bar and Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (19)

"Hands down the best wings in town. I have ordered from there via Door Dash for most of 2021 and they have been consistently excellent every time. That is saying a lot considering the drop off I have experienced everywhere else."

Sue's Wings and Things

★★★☆☆ 3 (94) • $$

"Love the plain wings here and like to get the rib/wing combo. Their daily home cooked meal special is usually awesome. Love the value for what you get!"

Great Wok

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (124) • $

"I found a Chinese spot I love! Finding great Chinese food in CLT has been a challenge but Great Wok has been a great find for that cheat meal craving. Very tasty, non greasy and amazing service. I have been ordering from them for the past year and their consistency has been on point. They also have a few Thai dishes which is amazingly good - the chicken pad thai is my favorite."

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

★★☆☆☆ 1.7 (22)

"Ordered a Wing combo and got 1 flat and five drums. I've reconciled myself to these wingettes posing as wings and not getting my wing tip but a wing has two parts. I prefer the flat. I at least want half and half cause that's what wings are."

Hathaway's Chicken N Biscuits

★★★★☆ 4 (77) • $$

"Now you might feel differently, but I PREFER a local spot with really good food over a national restaurant chain ANY day . . . and TWICE on Sundays. Take me literally today . . . it IS Sunday and I was craving a piece of fried chicken moments ago.So I looked up and saw the sign, "Hathaway's Chicken & Biscuits" and my reptile brain took over. It was a meteorite, you see, that wiped out the dinosaurs . . . but their preternatural ability to suss out a tasty 2-piece and a biscuit still lives within us -- if we will but listen closely.Listen closely HERE and the locals will tell you how moIst and tender is the chicken. How flakey the biscuits are and precisely how savory the sides. Watch as they load up on take out plates INCLUDING gallons of the excellent iced tea and lemonade.If you cannot quite hear your own inner dinosaur (aka chicken-eating chicken), take a listen to mine here:"Bah-gawk!"That's Jurassic/Chicken for, "Nomnonnom! Eat at Hathaway's""

Anntony's Caribbean Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.5 (179) • $$

"This place is delicious! The few times I've been it hasn't been busy. The food is always cooked to order. They have a stuffed flounder that takes 20 mins to cook, but worth the wait!"

Bubba's 33

★★★★☆ 3.8 (198) • $$

"Burger was big and juicyChicken sandwich was big and juicyService was a little slow but it was Monday and a busy nightLots of tv to watch sportsGood music was playingClean bathroomsHostess was the cutest little teenage boy. Very polite and great attitude. We enjoyed and will return. Already told my friends about this place."

Medo's Italian Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (28) • $$

"If you are looking for a good Italian restaurant with great prices and service, go to Medo's. We had manicotti and ravioli and they were both very tasty. The bread sticks with their homemade sauce was delicious. The can't beat the prices for any local restaurant."

US Fried Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.6 (80) • $

"I decided to DoorDash from US Fried Chicken since I never had them before I ordered quarter dark with fries and Jamaican patty. The chicken was okay and the patty no real treat very basic like it had been under a heat light. I think this order was my first and last one."

Coach's Neighborhood Grill

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (56) • $$

"We ordered takeout from Coach's Neighborhood Grill and the food was alright, nothing spatular just alright. The Hotdogs all the way were decent but the portion of fries that came with it was very sparse. We also ordered an open faced burger on a bed of lettuce, and what we received was a skimpy over cooked burger on one piece of wilted soggy lettuce accompanied by a stingy side of fries. Not sure if this would be my choice for takeout again, but who knows maybe their in-house service is better."

McKoy's Smokehouse and Saloon

★★★★☆ 4.1 (940) • $$

"Just tried out McKoy's and had a good experience. I wouldn't put it in my top 3 but it wasn't bad. The pulled chicken was tasty, especially with their original sauce--perfectly balanced. They also had a vinegar-based sauce, but it was a bit too tangy for my liking. My boyfriend had the tenderloin which was packed with flavor! We opted for the rolls instead of the cornbread, and they were soft, fresh, and so good that I didn't even need butter! The mac n cheese was decent. The potato salad was ok...once again not bad but just ok. Service was on point, and the food came out super fast. Price was reasonable and worth a visit if you're in the mood for barbecue!"

Oakhill Deli & Grill

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (8)

"I can't even begin to articulate how GREAT this place is. The food is amazing and very reasonably priced.I highly recommend going for breakfast. The biscuits are out of this world. And don't even get me started on the country ham. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.Oakhill is also a small family run business and a places where everyone knows each other. Get there early though, they close the grill at 2 pm."

Coach’s Neighborhood Grill

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (14)

"The food we ate was all tasty and mostly plentiful. The prices are really a bit high, even in this age of inflation, for what you get. Our service was friendly but slow because the wait staff is clearly overwhelmed by the crowd at peak times. The kitchen staff is also incredibly overwhelmed. They left an item off our appetizer sampler (fried pickles) and we didn't know they were out of the pickles until they just didn't show up. Additionally, my wife got pasta that was supposed to come with a salad and a breadstick. She got neither. We had to beg for the salad, which eventually came. The breadstick never came at all. My western burger was very tasty. I'd eat it again. The fries were solid but no better than frozen I'd heat and crisp in the oven at home. It took us 90 minutes on a Saturday at 5 PM to order an appetizer and two entrees and eat. The atmosphere inside is exactly what you'd expect of an American restaurant. Basketball and other sports art on the walls. Cocktail and bar menu is pretty extensive it appears if that's what you're going for. Bottom line: good food, slow service, missing items, overpriced."

DB's Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.8 (201) • $$

"DB's is a great little neighborhood tavern! We stopped by on a Sunday around lunch time to grab some food. We didn't get drinks this time but I can see how it would be a fun hangout spot later in the evening. They have a full bar and some bar games off to the side like shuffle board and darts.I got the DB's burger and it was not very good, unfortunately. The burger patty was thick, dry, and not seasoned at all. I actually added salt & pepper to the burger which I've never done before. The bun was bready and the unseasoned meat with the flavorless dry bun created a very lack luster bite. Even the ranch lacked a lot of flavor. The pasta salad was tasty and the homemade chips were crunchy. My husband enjoyed the wings. I think if we go back, I'll try a different menu item next time."

City Grill & Wings - University

★★★★★ 4.7 (13)

"Great food! Owner is very nice and helpful! Awesome wings and sandwiches/burgers. Worth a try!"

Teddy's Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.6 (69) • $

"Was looking for a pizzeria similar to what I grew up with in New Haven and NYC.. been a long search but, Teddy's was a great find. Loved their Pineapple, sausage Onion pie. REAL SAUSAGE!I'll be back!!"

Saucy Chick

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"What a treat to find at the Red Oak brewery. We shared the platter, 2 sliders, 4 wings, fried okra, truffle fries.I thought everything was very good and the wife loved the slider, okra, fries but the sauce is very sweet, so if you don't like sweet ask them for non sweet is the least sweet hot saucy and we had the "She Hot" sauce on the sliders and not to sweat, but whatever was on the wings was very sweet.All in all very good!"

Tonys Pizza and Wings

★★★★☆ 3.5 (35)

"It would be easy to drive right by but that would be a mistake. I stopped in because of the $6.99 lunch special and am now an instant fan. The special came with either pizza, pasta, or a sub and I will definitely go back to try more.The fettuccine Alfredo was delicious, the sauce wasn't runny or sticky but had the perfect texture. Their pizza offerings looked amazing (cashew chicken!!) and I candy wait to go back and try it."

Ike's Korner Grille

★★★★☆ 4.2 (223) • $

"This place was an accidental find. We were just passing thru and was hungry. Pulled this up on Yelp and it didn't disappoint. It is a must stop from now on. The burgers were amazing and the stuff shrimp appetizers was delicious. Service was excellent and fast."

The Club House Kitchen & Cocktails

★★★★☆ 4.2 (11)

"I came here with a friend on a weeknight. Neither of us have been before but have heard pretty good reviews. There wasn't much of a crowd on this but the specials were really good. It's a cute vibe with low music and nice place to have a drink and grab a quick bite. Let's get into the experience...Service: Great service from beginning to end. You grab a menu and seat yourself. They were attentive the entire time we were there and we had the opportunity to have an in detailed conversation with the general manager who was super nice. Food: I ordered the buffalo chicken egg rolls and poison fang wings. The food came out hot and and in a timely manner. I also like how they bring out the food as it's ready and not wait for all of the food to come out at once. The only thing I would say is, the wings were a bit smaller than expected but the taste was there. It probably wouldn't be the first thing I order in the menu but that's only due to the size. I would recommend trying them if you've never been. I will also add that I didn't like how they charged for certain sauces without prior notification from the server. $1 extra for honey etc. just be prepared for that. Overall, we enjoyed our experience. They have daily drink specials and on certain days there are food specials. We were told there's also live music and special events occasionally, I will definitely be back to check those out."
