The Tastiest Chicken Wings in Lexington

Cluckers

★★★★☆ 3.6 (62) • $

"Pluckers is a great restaurants that have started to form into a franchise around southern Indiana and some places in Kentucky. My family and I went to this clockers in Indiana when we were visiting and seeing the area. We really enjoyed ourselves my wife and I had a few beverages we got a few appetizers of cheese wedges and the wings were really good as well. We enjoyed our trip and the food is really good it's a must if you're in the area"

Brenda's Smoke Shack

★★★★★ 4.8 (12)

"Great BBQ! Had the pulled pork sandwich and a side of potato salad. The sandwich was hefty with a good portion of pulled pork. Service was great. If you're passing through, stop in!"

Domino's Pizza

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (4)

"They get the orders done quickly. You can track it from the time you place the order until it is picked up or delivered. I've ordered online as well as in store, and my order has always been accurate. The pizza has been a little dry lately, but no major complaints."

Pizza Donisi

★★★★☆ 3.6 (212) • $

"Solid pizza, easy going vibes, and with late night hours! Personally, I love to snag some of their grab and go items when I'm in a rush for lunch--they have some solid salads that make things nice and easy.I also really enjoyed their chicken parm--which surprised me! It wasn't a huge, saucy, overload-of-cheese vibe, which is what I come to expect. Rather, it was a nicely-fried medium to small-sized cutlet, with a yummy red sauce and a modest amount of cheese. But it was well balanced and good quality, especially for the price. It's become one of my go-to items to order! The service is helpful, but chill, which I personally appreciate when I'm just trying to be in and out."

Sazon Mexican restaurant Louisa ky

★★★★★ 5 (1)

WNB Factory

★★★★☆ 3.6 (16)

"This is located where the former KFC was located. It can be a tricky location to get in and out of during times of peak traffic. There is a drive-through board, but I'm not sure if they ever plan on having a drive-through line. The portion sizes for the sweet potato fries with huge. However, they were cold when I got them. I think they went ahead and package them while the turkey burger was still cooking. I've seen some mixed reviews on this, and I honestly haven't been there enough times to know if there is consistency or inconsistencies. The time I went, was not a busy time, so I was not shocked to see the staff and employees speaking with each other while things cooked. Per me, the meal was OK. The price was more than I expected, however, I know that inflation is hitting many restaurants. However, the amount of sweet potato fries was a good deal."

Mr D's Wholesale Pizza & Supplies

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Best pizza in town without a doubt, hands down. You can taste the full flavor of the ingredients and not just the taste of cheap pizza sauce and crust like the national chains."

Big City Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.8 (26)

"Cute little hole in wall. Good pizza, good vibe. Service was great!! Very friendly staff"

Barkadas

★★★★☆ 4.2 (132)

"Cool spot in Charleston! Loved the vibes of the place and service was great. We ordered the Brussels sprouts (6.5/10) and the Salmon bowl with coconut rice (8/10). Sprouts were a bit saucy for me, but still great flavor and would definitely try again. The salmon bowl was great, and do NOT skip the coconut rice!"

Twin Peaks

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (55) • $$

"Super fun sports bar with TV's everywhere and a large bar area in the center of the restaurant.The food is surprisingly great for a sports bar. Beer is ice cold as advertised. Service was fast and efficient. Definitely a fun spot on a weekend."

Mil's Dairy Drive In

★★★★☆ 4.2 (10) • $

"It's pretty much your standard Kentucky drive-in... Greasy food galore! Their chili cheese burger (they call it "chi che burger") was pretty good, which I preceded with a delicious twist ice cream cone. They apparently have nacho cheese-filled tater tots, which sounds so good it doesn't quite make sense."

Smokin Momma’s Burgers & BBQ

★★★☆☆ 3 (2)

"100% recommend. The food here was fantastic, surpassed only by the quality of the service. I got a burger with pulled pork on it and onion rings and my friend got the smoked fried bologna sandwich, both were really good. The staff were all very friendly and very helpful. I'll definitely be back."

Smoke Justis

★★★★☆ 3.8 (354) • $$

"I love this place - if you haven't had the Smokes Old Fashioned or the seasonal Pumpkin Old Fashioned , you are missing out. Not a biurbon drinker? The pretzels and cheese are the most delicious things imaginable. If you are hungry for something more, I recommend the fry boxes - who doesn't love a box of meat and fries?The service is top notch - if you get a chance, ask Jade about bourbon- you will be in for quite the amazing experience."

Spring Street Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (83) • $

"Spring Street is a great neighborhood watering hole that has the right mix of good food, good beer selection, decent cocktails, and a lot of room to spread out. This is also one of the few places near the Highlands that has a lot of TVs and takes sports seriously...but I wouldn't consider it a traditional sports bar. It really is a neighborhood place, and quite an institution. I went there for the opening NFL Sunday. Every game was on, including my Saints. So I took a seat in the back corner near a small TV that the game was playing. It felt very cavernous from where I was sitting. But I also had three TV's right in my view, which was perfect. There were a number of Bills, Bengals, and Bears fan, so it was boisterous time.I started with jumbo wings, and I decided on Korean BBQ. The sauce was good, and while I don't need wings submerged in juices, I would've appreciated a little bit more flavor. That said --- these wings are jumbo, and they're pretty good. The fries, which are $6 and plentiful, were also delicious. The beers and Moscow Mule were exactly what I needed. You order everything, drinks and food, from the bar. Service was very efficient and the bartender working the bar, seemingly by himself, was awesome. He even picked up an empty for me and took my drink order. He also looked at my Saints jersey and knew where I needed to go before I asked. That's the type of experience you can only really get in touristy areas or neighborhood bars. If we lived in Irish Hill, this would be a regular haunt for me. The moderately high prices and far walk from my house are the only things preventing me from coming more. I think food, drink options, and experience are worth the journey to Spring Street."

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

★★★★☆ 4 (23)

"Came to this specific location for the first time. I love cane's and definitely would recommend it! I'm such a chicken tenders fan. I went through the drive thru and it was pretty fast given the bit of a line there was."

The Fish House & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (104) • $

"The catfish and fries were cooked to perfection, I asked for Cajun seasoning, but I don't think it had any on it. Still very delicious with some lemon and hot sauce, or tartar. Hubs liked the Cajun grilled Mahi Mahi. While we were eating, a man (probably the owner or manager) came over and asked if could bring us a treat if we liked pistachios. A few minutes later he returned with a piece of art! A Crepe filled with pistachio crumbles, topped with pistachio butter, and white chocolate with pistachio crumble on the edge. Not only was it delicious, it was almost too pretty to eat. We had a great lunch. The restaurant is spotless, and their health score is 99. I recommended the Fish House and Grill to anyone in the area, or make a special trip!"

Papa Johns Pizza

★★☆☆☆ 2 (7) • $

"Solid papa John's location in the city of Shepherdsville in Kentucky. By now most people know whether or not they like this national chain or not. To me they are pretty solid. Good crust and if Cooke fresh they have a nice tasting cheese pizza. So when it comes to national chains I base off the location and service and not the food. This location ive been to a few times as I have a couple close friends who use to live in Shepherdsville and few that still do. I've found out with this location that they are on the slower side of delivery. Especially if a large order for say a pert or event (which is usually what I'm at when having this locations pizza). So best and quickest route is to pickup the pizza these ensuring you get your pizza timely and it being pretty fresh. Overall this papa John's isn't the worst one or the best location. But it is solid and about average. Nothing to scare me away from using this location in the future."

Elliott’s Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4 (9)

"Elliotts is such a wonderful addition to the area. We visit frequently in the summer and everything tried is good. I am particularly fond of the stromboli sub and the calzone. Their specialty cookies are delicious too."

Big City Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.9 (63) • $

"Food is very good. The best pizza I've had in the area. The service is fast and friendly. Ambience is fine, has a tv going with movies, a few small tables to eat in. We visit the Nicholasville location."

Shuckers

★★★★☆ 4 (42) • $$

"Shucker's has a really tasty brunch, and they serve locally made maple syrup! The chicken and waffles are great. The wait staff is kind, and really bring the small town feel."

Wing KYng

★★★★★ 4.7 (47)

"I searched for a highly rated restaurant in Lexington, KY while on a business trip. In preparation for game one of the 2023 World Series, I thought I should eat in my hotel room and not go to a sports bar since no one would care about if the game was on or even less if the Rangers would win or lose. I follow my own Yelp rules. Search for a place that has many reviews and is highly rated and you can't go wrong. Wing KYngs was both. I drove a few miles and walked into a clean nondescript brick building right into a wall of delicious smells. I asked the cashier to help me make a decision. She suggested two sauces: the General and Garlic Spice. I agreed. No fries just 9 jumbo chicken wings on the bone. Fast forward to sitting in front of the tv back at my hotel watching baseball. Hot. Fresh. Savory. Sweet. Happy."

Chicks Wings Express

★★★★☆ 3.7 (3)

"I'm picky about chicken wings and we love the wings here. Best we have had in this town. They're always hot, crispy, well sauced. Owner and staff are always so nice and accommodating."

Joella's Hot Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.2 (355) • $$

"On a recent trip to Cincinnati we ate here twice. My family and I love Nashville hot chicken and appreciated that they had chicken thighs that were meaty and delicious. They also had a large variety of good tasting sides. The service was top notch. Taylor W waited on us both times and was very friendly and informative. The restaurant itself was nicely decorated, clean, and welcoming. We have tried a handful of other Nashville, hot chicken, restaurants, but Joella's is definitely one of our favorites. The food is very flavorful and you get a lot for the reasonable prices."

Indian Mound Café

★★★★☆ 4 (47) • $

"This is a local favorite and now I know why. The chicken wings! The wings are a good size with a perfect crisp, all their sauces are killer, and they're certainly the best bang for buck you can find. There's plenty of seating inside as well as a patio out back. I'll definitely be back to try the burger of the month special soon!"

Chicken King

★★★★☆ 4 (124) • $

"I freakin love Chicken King. Food slaps. People working there are awesome.Now, listen, this place is super popular so they do run out of normal chicken. Their spicy chicken is great but it's also actually spicy (old folks read: get ya tums!). I've done the drive through only so I can't comment on the inside seating. Waiting in the car line can take some time. Be patient they're slinging a ton of food to a ton of families for a good price.Whenever I'm having a bad day I go line up for Chicken King. Why? Because it's like having thanksgiving on demand and how could that not make the day a bit brighter. This is soul food.Let's talk about the sides: Sweet potatoes? Perfectly seasoned, buttery, and brown sugar sweet. Corn bread? Moist! Baked beans? Sent me to heaven.If I was on my way to Norton, I'd ask the ambulance to pull over and get me Chicken King. That's how much I love Chicken King!!"

PeeWee's Place

★★★★☆ 4.1 (99) • $$

"WE LOVE PEEWEE'S!! My mom and dad started coming to PeeWee's after church each Sunday for breakfast and we've started joining. The food is always so good and the service is great. They remember us and bring us our coffee cups and shots of baileys for said coffee as soon as we sit. The portions are large enough that my daughter and I share most mornings, our favorite is the scrambler with goetta, all the add ons and pepper jack cheese. The is a small family run place that is so welcoming and friendly you feel like you are at home. You've gotta try this place!!!"

Mancino's Pizza & Grinders

★★★☆☆ 3 (26) • $

"My son and I ate there for lunch this week and were pleasantly surprised. The young girl at the counter was most helpful with recommendations and was very friendly and outgoing. We ordered a calzone and chicken alfredo pasta. Everything was piping hot! (I hate barely warm food!) The portions were huge...we took most of it home for dinner which was great because I hate to cook. ;) My son said the calzone was very good and I enjoyed the pasta as well. I would definitely go back and recommend them based on this visit."

Sam’s Gyros In Elizabethtown

★★★★★ 4.7 (20)

"Amazing! The best gyro I've had in years and probably the #1 or 2 I've ever had. The team working there was supper nice and offered a sample before I ordered. I'm coming back."

Hollys Pour House

★★★★★ 4.6 (26) • $

"Great atmosphere and food was amazing. We had cheeseburgers & fries!! If you're looking for friendly service & good food you should stop by. It's not fancy, it's a bar/restaurant but it was great!!"

The Goal Line

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (4)

"Everything was on point! Fast service and its cozy atmosphere. The food exceeded my expectations."

Chicken House

★★★★☆ 4.2 (124) • $$

"Worth the drive from Louisville to a bustling country dining restaurant between Sellersburg and New Albany. Lots of tables (some booths) and a bar attached.They pride themselves on the fried chicken which my better half fully enjoyed. I could hear the crunch from across the table but he said it was no way close to being dry. The portion satisfied him as well.I started out with the hand breaded mushrooms that I saw so many tables of people munching on...WOW...I was surprised at how delicious they were. Followed up with a hand breaded pork tenderloin. It would have been better if I hadn't filled up on the mushrooms. The tenderloin breading was a little salty for my taste...but it was fresh so points there.Our waitress was the nicest lady and checked often enough but wasn't a pest.A great bonus was they have Big Red and if you know...you know!This will be the go to for us when we want some country cookin!!!"

Wingstop

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (37)

"Wingstop is a wing establishment located on the okolona area of Louisville Kentucky just off outer loop road in a shopping center right before the Jefferson mall. Wingstop has 2-3 locations in the Louisville area and appear to be pretty popular. I wanna say I tried some wings at a Dixie Highway location a few years back but I'm not one hundred percent sure. My oldest daughter wanted to have some wings tonight so we decided to try something new. We pulled in close to 9pm and there wasn't a wait. The hostess from the get to let us know they had a lot Fo to go orders pre ordered so would be about 30 minutes. She said we could wait inside for the order to get ready. The inside is pretty spacious and has some cool decor. They have the all in one coke fountains with the touch screens. I personally Ordered a 8 wing special and split it up with 4 Hawaiian and 4 hickory smoked bbq. My oldest daughters got a six piece spicy Korean blend and my wife got a 6 piece combo with 3 Hawaiian and 3 Cajun. While waiting my daughter said she was curious about the Cajun. So the hostess was like "we have samples". When she said "ok let's do this" the workers were kinda taken aback and was like "umm you sure it's really hot and have her a cup". I took a video of her trying it (I've posted it to the page) and it wasn't too hot. She had little reaction to it all. Then the workers were like "your turn". So the wife and I tried it. It was hot but it wasn't anything crazy hot. I took a shot of moonshine earlier that burned more. Haha. Anyways our food was really good. The fries it came with were plentiful and very good. Of mine the hickory smoked was solid and the Hawaiian was great. My daughter loves her Korean spicy wings and she said they were solid. Said the Cajun was traditional vinegar hot sauce. She was bummed she couldn't do a hybrid and combine two sauces like other wing places will do. Pricing wasn't bad. Just over $30. Overall we had a good experience. Good service. They said a 30 min wait but it was only like a 10 min wait. The atomic challenge kept us entertained for most of that. The Fries and wings both good. Glad we finally checked this place out and we will definetly come back."

Tinos Taste of Heaven

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Sunday Dinner ~ Superb Smothered Pork Chops in gravy and onions. I bit a piece of my finger off and had to put it back on my finger. Homemade Mashed Potatoes topped with gravy and Cabbages with a slice of tomato on top.A piece of cornbread that tasted like cake. For Dessert strawberry cake & peach cobbler. Service is always top notch. They greet you and ensure everything is just fine. Southern Hospitality.Ambiance like sitting in grandma kitchen. Carry out or sit down is available. Great Sunday Dinner."

Reno's Roadhouse

★★★★☆ 3.6 (47) • $$

"My friend ordered the large ribeye steak, and I ordered the lunch portion of cod and potatoes. Both were EXCELLENT! We have never had a bad, or even "ok" meal here.Our serve, Jeremy, was fantastic, answering questions, and taking great care that we were pleased, The atmosphere here is like Texas country, relaxed but not shabby.When Reno's was located in Danville, KY, it was our favorite. Now we will drive 50+ miles to eat here, so it isn't often, but is always a delight.Did I mention Jeremy?"

Louisville Pizza King

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (14)

"I went to the Pizza King on 3rd and Woodlawn in the old Penn Station building. I got the chicken bacon ranch pizza and an order of fries. My pizza I was made fresh and it was so delicious. I wouldn't recommend getting slices, because they sit in the case all day. Service wasn't good or bad lol he was sitting down on his phone, he greeted me and took my order lol"
