The Yummiest Chicken Wings in Milwaukee

Points East Pub

★★★★☆ 4 (374) • $$

"I love wings so my friend decided to take me here. A simple menu, with a simple wing. No extra flavors, no extra seasonings-- you get the OG of wings and it's done perfectly! There is a ton of seating, TVs to watch whatever sport you're into and a nice bar in the back with all sorts of beverages for you to choose from. The drinks are affordable and strong, and the wings were cooked to perfection. This spot was delicious. I've been thinking about the wings ever since I had it. The staff was super friendly and this is a must stop for me whenever I'm in Cream City!"

"Awesome boneless wings. Nice workers/cooks. Pretty fair prices as well. Worth the time."

Steny's Tavern & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (253) • $$

"This is a great sports bar with more than enough TVs to ensure you will be able to watch your game from any seat in the place. Bucks, Brewers, Packers, and Bills fans will feel right home at Steny's. The staff provides friendly service and is attentive. Regarding the food, it is great pub food. For appetizers, you can't go wrong with their cheese curds. I tend to get wings when I visit, there is a great selection of dry and wet seasonings. My personal favorites are honey BBQ and lemon garlic. Steny's has a large drink menu with plenty of high-quality micro and macro beers and their bloody marys are some of the best in town."

"Amazing best pizza around. We love ordering from here whenever we crave pizza that is good and hearty. The pizza is very fresh and soooooo cheesy."

"Good bar fare. I would recommend the wings and tenders. Service is good. Can be busy at times so if you want a quiet place, this may not be for you. Nice lo al clean establishment."

Bootleggers Bar & Grill

★★★★★ 4.5 (73) • $

"What a fun place to go hang out on a Friday night! Lots of friendly people, a very hardworking staff throughout, and some terrific food and beverage make this a great time in a casual - dare I say backwater environment. The appetizers are five stars, no question. Breaded mushrooms were juicy and the cheese curds were crispy and gooey and perfect. The burgers were fine - solid sandwiches but nowhere near the level of the apps - and the $5 Friday night long islands were potent and perfect. A big note: Come to relax. If you're thinking this is going to be a place clicking like a big box brick and mortar - well that's just not the pace here. They keep a tight team running it, so when it's full you'll just need to be patient - and they're clear about that as you walk in. Be patient, be courteous, and you'll be treated like family, just like I was this first time (and far from my last time) at Bootlegger's."

Jexal's Pizza & Wing Zeria

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (141)

"Pizza was ok. The thin crust was cold when we got it. Didn't like the crust needed more toppings and cheese. Deep dish was better. Could use more spinach and cheese for sure and flavor. It was OK. Wouldn't order again."

Casa Tequila

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (125) • $$

"Celebrated with lunch today with the jumbo margaritas. Way too much for me and easily could've shared with two other people. Lots of menu options, but I opted for the Cameron tacos. Shrimp was chopped up which wasn't what I expected. But it was still tasty. Chips were fresh and not greasy at all. Salsa was fresh and lots of spicy options. Rice and beans was average. All in all, it was relaxing lunch and the quesadilla was my favorite out of all. Big chunks of beef tasted roasted and flavorful."

Buckets Pub

★★★★☆ 3.9 (84) • $

"Came in for lunch with my husband and met our painter friend Dennis. Was really impressed with the lunch specials and service at the bar - Krista was very friendly and attentive. Hubbie had Wings and I had chicken salad on greens with soup. Delicious. Brewer day game in and a nice crowd. Everyone got great service and food was delicious. We will be back!"

"The burger was a little over-salted but still really good, looking forward to trying the shakes ."

The Fat Seagull

★★★★☆ 4.2 (68) • $

"Small bar/restaurant decorated really cute. The servers are very friendly. We started with their homemade firecracker egg rolls, which are pretty good. The onion rings are homemade and so tasty we had to get a second order. Absolutely one of the best fish fries I ever had! The double walleye plate is huge! The biggest fish filets with a delicious breading. I will definitely be back!"

"Pleasantly surprised! Inside is more welcoming than anticipated by the outside. It is dark but but gloomy.Food was good snd pineapple drink perfect for a summer day!"

bb.q Chicken Vernon Hills

★★★★☆ 4 (67) • $$

"I have been here only once, and that too for a carry out order of spicy Korean wings. I had known of bb.q Chicken before going to this establishment. They are a Seoul based international Korean fried chicken chain restaurant that serve delicious fried chicken. In my visit to this establishment, I ordered the eight (8) count of their Wings of Fire sauce fried chicken wings as I was in the mood for something pretty spicy. I asked if the wings could be made saucy and crispy, and I was told that they made them in just one way. Since the wings are freshly made to order, I was informed that there would be about 15 - 20 minutes wait before order pick-up. That wasn't a problem for me. My order was ready as informed. I had my wings soon after pick-up while they were hot and fresh. The wings looked super delicious and tasted as such as well. They were saucy, crispy, and meaty. Their flavor was very good, and the spice level was too my liking. The Wings of Fire sauce was finger licking good. Yum! I couldn't get enough of it. The wings hit the spot. It was money well spent. I loved them. Although I don't eat much breaded chicken these days, I world certainly go back here to try other sauces based wings. If you haven't checked out this establishment, then definitely give them a try or more."

Scuba's Pourhouse

★★★★☆ 4.2 (58) • $

"Stopped in for dinner with my kids while on a road trip after getting a recommendation for a great local spot from a member of the Front Desk staff at the Cambria Hotel in Appleton, WI. Server was friendly and helpful. We ordered Cheese Curds, Jalapeño Cheese Curds, and the Jalapeño Stuffed Pretzel for appetizers. Really enjoyed the Curds. They were fresh, served with Ranch Dressing and not at all greasy as some are. The pretzel was ok. I ordered the PB&J (yes, Peanut Butter & Grape Jelly) Burger with Bacon and Pepper Jack Cheese (added Jalapeños). My Son ordered the Patty Melt on Marbled Rye. And my Daughter Soup De Jour, Potato Cheese Soup. Start with the burgers. 1/2 lb fresh ground beef, Made to order. Excellent! No leftovers! My daughter liked her soup too. Very cool place! Would come back someday if ever in Appleton again."

"The Donfather with spicy peppers was fantastic. Sampled the wings which had hot sauce and Parmesan garlic. Both were very good. It'll be hard to venture away from theory sandwiches though."

Champion Chicken

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (134) • $$

"Whenever I have a chicken craving, this is my go to place! Always consistent, hot and tasty chicken. The fries are just standard and nothing to write home about but the chicken makes up for it. The coleslaw is pretty good too. It was supposed to come with custard but it seem to have been forgotten this trip and my prior trip as well. But, got my chicken fix and I'm good for a while."

Boneyard Pub and Grille

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (69) • $$

"Boneyard is always a decent place to eat. The service was good and my ribs were tender as always. We sat in the bar and a football game was on, so it was as loud as would be expected, but not overly so. Boneyard is a great neighborhood eatery."

Joe's Fox Hut

★★★★☆ 3.9 (48) • $

"I was recommended the pizza from a chicagoan now living in the area. He said this pizza was the best, so I had to give it a go. It was excellent! Fresh ingredients and the a super cracker like crust. I too, recommend"

MooSa’s

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (49)

"My first visit. The portions are HUGE. My wife ordered the Beefy Fries...it was easily enough for two hearty eaters. Could easily feed four skinny people. I ordered the onion rings and a Moosa burger. The onion rings were the big thick ones and again my order could have easily feed 2 or three people. I have no review of the Moosa burger as by the time I ate 1/3rd of the onion rings and beefy fries, I was damn full and never even took the time to look at the burger...all the leftovers came home with us. So, I'm back 3 full days later to review my leftovers. I disassembled the burger and then put that and the onion rings into my air fryer for about 7 minutes. The onion rings were almost as good as when they were fresh. The bun toasted up great. The burger(which must be a half pounder) heated through without drying out.This business is worth the drive and the money."

Limanskis Pub

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (46) • $

"You know those small neighborhood bars where you walk in and everyone from the staff to patrons stare you down like you don't belong? Well, that's not Limanskis. We grabbed a spot at the bar on a Wednesday night and we were greeted by every staff member throughout our night, even the line cooks. We came here for one thing, wings with their fabled sauces and dry rubs. I've heard about the unique sauces that vary from glazed donut to jalapeño cheddar bacon, chipotle peach to cinnamon bun, so I was intrigued. Wednesday is their 50 cent wing special, with a downright awesome minimum of four wings per sauce. Another unique feature to their wing deal is that you can choose between grilled, naked or crispy breaded. We ordered a few combos of flavors, along with hitting up their $7 domestic pitcher special.The wings came out at an alright pace, you could tell some of the regulars got their orders before we did but beer in hand we weren't bothered. The wings were smaller than I expected after getting used to a lot of the jumbo wings that are out there these days, but at 50 cent a piece I don't have much to complain about. They were cooked perfectly, sauces were delicious and not overly salty, and that glazed donut flavor I mentioned earlier?! It's a must order. Think of chicken and waffles but with a richer and deeper flavor profile. We ended up getting another pitcher, so we decided to grab an order of their gooey cheesecurds. They came out quick and were a monster helping of fresh, gooey, stringy cheese curds. Definitely top three curds in Milwaukee.Anywho, get yourself here, grab a spot at the bar and enjoy. You'll thank me later."

Rail House Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (26)

"I do not like bars in general... but this place is different because they serve the BEST WINGS that I have ever had in my life and the staff is so fun and nice. The wings here are juicy jumbo and crispy fried and the homemade (railhouse sauce) is so delicious and compliments the wings so well. The homemade (railhouse sauce) is so unique and perfectly executed it has my favorite combination of flavors it is sort of spicy with some heat and has a sweet tang. The ranch dressing is phenomenal as well and I know know why.. I asked and was told they also make that in house and what sets it apart from other places is it is made with real buttermilk and when you dip something in it for instance the beer battered mushrooms the taste is cool light and refreshing. So glad that they updated the menu here and brought the food back and reopened the kitchen.On some nights they have a DJ and karaoke, a bingo night and trivia night. Some gaming machines as well. Plenty of tv screens to watch your favorite game. But to me it is all about the WINGS!"

Downtown Pizza

"Awesome food. Excellent pizza. Wide beer selection. Owner is friendly and honest opinions on her food."

Badger Burger - Oconomowoc

"1/15/22 - 2:30 PMFirst time here, and it's a a very nice place. Slots in the back, and awesome album wallpaper! The menu is vast with burgers, pizzas, Mac & cheese, wings, etc. Had a gin & tonic and the bartender did everything right. Ordered at 2:40, received food at 2:53. Hot food, right from the kitchen, love it! 3 drinks + food : $32.54Pros: Attentive serviceVegetarian options (Beyond burger, salads, etc)Full bar with multiple beer options Large TV's at multiple locations Macaroni is freshly made to order (confirmed by chef). Mac & Cheese is good, better than most places I can name but won't.IF you play the slots, the bar will give you $5 to start!?Cons: Bacon in Mac was either over cooked or reheated: dry like jerkyNitpicks: --------"

Chicago Red Hots

★★★★☆ 3.8 (19) • $

"Late review - Stopped in for a to go lunch October 29th as I had been curious about this place and read some good reviews. The reviews are correct, it is a small place with 3 tables and the food is delicious and the price for a meal is well under $10 dollars. I ordered the Gyro, and was only expecting the sandwich, but received fries and a soda for $6.95 or so. Awesome value and tasty! Although the fries tasted little like fish as they probably use the same fryer for many things, but they were really good. The menu is vast for such a small place, but I will be trying additional items in the near future."

JJ Fish & Chicken

★★★★☆ 4 (17)

"If you've been to a JJ Fish and Chicken, then you basically been to them all. If you're looking for some nice fried chicken or fried seafood, or just looking to grab a big tray of food to feed a crowd quickly, then JJ Fish and Chicken got you covered.Though I will give this one location something over all the other JJ Fish that I've been to, and that is service. Service is great. They were quick to greet me and take my order, ask whether or not I wanted seasoning, overall just generally friendly and welcoming.Food Quality wise, its pretty nice across the board. I usually only get chicken here but on my latest trip i decided to get the fried jumbo shrimp. Both were great.I would also highly recommend getting an extra box or two of french fries. those will definitely go quickly whether you're feeding a party or just by yourself."

Golden Chicken

"Chicken here is always good... actually most of the food is decent and always hot and fresh. My only complaint is I feel the prices are a bit high compared to fast food chicken places but it is what it is..."

Richard's Bar and BBQ

★★★★☆ 3.7 (19)

"Decided to meet some friends here what a great choice very clean place awesome atmosphere plenty of seating awesome food I suggest nachos It can easily feed 3-4 people The staff was very friendly and quick service will definitely be back"

Tulum Latin Gastropub

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (25)

"Highlights/Lowlights1) Conveniently Located on KK in BayView2) Walk Ins OK/No Need for a Reservation3) Very Average FoodWe stopped in to try Tulum on a Saturday night around 7:30pm. Tulum is conveniently located on bustling KK in BayView. We didn't have a reservation but didn't need one! There were plenty of bar spaces open as well as some tables. We were seated right away and given menus and waters. The ambiance here is ok, there is some cute wall detailing but you can also tell they just moved in and there were still some odds and ends laying around. I ordered a regular margarita on the rocks and my husband ordered a mango mojito. Drinks were very ok, nothing terrible but nothing out of this world either. We ordered guacamole and the jalapeño poppers for our appetizers. Guacamole was good, chips that came with were VERY salty. The poppers were a little odd. Our server brought the bacon-wrapped poppers to our table but took them away right when he set them down (no explanation). A few minutes later we were brought different poppers. These ones looked (and kind of tasted like) the ones you buy in the freezer section of the grocery store. Unfortunately the insides were cold on these. For entrees we did an enchiladas verde and the Lomo Saltado. Again, both of these were very average. The Lomo Saltado was really peppery and the fries that came with did not taste like they were made in house. Enchiladas were ok but with so many authentic Latin American restaurants in Milwaukee these don't really compete. Service overall was friendly! I think we will come back and try again but might wait until the team here gets some of the kinks worked out."

Parker John's BBQ & Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.8 (17)

"The atmosphere was great, and our server was nice. The bar lounge area was clean and had a very classy feeling to it. Our food tasted great! This is for sure a good spot to visit for lunch. The only downside to our visit was that the gambling machines were not working, and neither were a few of the toy claw machines."

"New wing place by my house. They have some Tajin Lemon Peoper wings that are super tasty. I like their flavor choices, they're a bit adventurous. Service was also very friendly. This is my new wing spot."

Kobie's Hot Dogs & Pizzeria

★★★☆☆ 3 (18)

"I'm mixed on this review so I'll explain. I've been in twice and once was great and once not so much. The pizza is pretty good. Chicago area is a tough place to compete for pizza but by the slices here are just fine for lunch. The chicken wings are banging. Good stuff. My problem was the hot dog visit. One co-worker and I each got the two dog meal and waiting a fairly long time for being the only ones in line. I'm a south-sider and expect a Chicago dog to be good. These weren't. Luke warm at best and the bun was crumbly and not fresh. The fries were ok.This is a new location and right by my office. I will be back and really hope they get past the growing pains. There has been a few similar establishments on this corner so they need to come with the thunder if they want to last. Best of luck Kobie!"

IVR Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (9)

"IVR BAR is a fresh take on ethnic fusion and cocktails. Previously home to the point burger bar, this revamped location is a great new beginning for the spot. They are very well staffed with a pleasant crew. I came in for a late lunch and had boneless wings with Buffalo maharaja sauce. The chicken was done well and I enjoyed the subtle hint of Indian undertones. The provided ranch sauce was also very good and I think made in house! The bar as well appointed with whiskey, wine, and tequila along with some pretty general beers . This certainly would not be considered a beer bar, but more of a cocktail and spirits kind of deal. I am excited to see someone making great use of the space and look forward to returning to try many more things on the fun menu ."

Bassett Creek Saloon and Eatery

★★★★★ 4.6 (7)

"Legitimately the best ribs on the planet. Who could possibly think that you would find them in rural southern wisconsin?"
