The Most Delectable Chicken Wings in Minneapolis

Nightingale Food & Cocktails

★★★★☆ 4.1 (352) • $$

"5 stars all the way from California! Nightingale food and cocktails will always be one of my favorite places in Minnesota! I will forever be dreaming about the mushroom toast appetizer, OMFG so amazing!!! If you're looking for a fun, intimate, delicious restaurant then Nightingale is the place for you. Please review my food pics on the items you have to try. My absolute favorites is the mushroom toast and the green curry mussels! Holy shhhhhh, these dishes are bursting with flavor. Something about that green curry sauce, I feel like I can drink an entire bowl of that alone. On the night we visited, they had a live DJ playing vibey, throwback 90's R&B, I was all about it having a good ol' time! Can't say anything bad about this spot, all good good good things. Can't wait for my next visit back to the Midwest for that good good!"

Yangtze

★★★★☆ 3.7 (384) • $$

"Best dim sum for seafood lovers. Lots of pork-free dumplings. Highly recommend fried crab claw, shrimp shumai, fried garlic and shrimp dumpling. I've been coming here for dim sum and it is consistently delicious."

Shamrocks Grill and Pub

★★★★☆ 3.9 (331) • $$

"Juicy Lucy's and beer?? What could be better?? Went here after work and had great service and even better food. I had the guys big bite and it sure was big, enough food for my lunch and dinner... lolWe got some flaming hot cheese curds and they were really good, not too hot and a lot of flavor. Would definitely come here again, plenty of drinks on the menu and a very fun atmosphere."

Bonchon

★★★★☆ 4.1 (138) • $$

"Stopped in after looking for a quick bite to eat and decided to try a new place. We were a little surprised that Bonchon is fully a sit down restaurant, but our experience was great. Very clean store, staff were very nice, and service was actually phenomenal. We had their bibimbap bowl and fried tenders, both were really good. The fried chicken with the soy garlic sauce in particular was a highlight."

Tap Society

★★★★☆ 4.2 (114) • $$

"Great beers on tap and a great location for a post work drink or two. Most everything js self-service, but it's fun getting to try some interesting beers."

Boulder Tap House

★★★★☆ 3.7 (138) • $$

"Can we take a moment to say.. holy NACHOS! Some of the best nachos I've had, and plenty to go around. Restaurant seemed a little short staffed, but the service we did receive was great. Great place to watch Saturday night college football with tv's lining the restaurant! Super fun / lively atmosphere, don't come here expecting a low-key, quiet night!"

Bombay Pizza Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (82)

"Such a fun place. Legit Indian flavor with some adventurous combinations, plus it's just great pizza period. (They have the basics for the less-adventurous.) And a fun dining room AND Indian beer. Just down the road from Paisley Park and the Arboretum."

The Boulder Tap House

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (131) • $$

"Glad we stopped by on our way home from the cabin. Cool atmosphere and menu and over 40 beers on tap. Wings were definitely solid, but I wish they were a bit more crispy. Buffalo sauce was about as classic as it gets but no complaints.Burger had great flavor and I liked that they had a byob option.Looking forward to stopping by next year!"

Slim's

★★★★☆ 3.7 (107) • $$

"First time visiting and I had a nice experience. A few things to note:-ample parking-ample indoor seating-sandwiches and burgers don't come with a side -in-store menu features a few different burgers, but there are no descriptions, so be sure to ask or check online. I got the Carolina burger, which came with barbecue sauce and grilled onions, but was otherwise similar to the (slightly cheaper) Slims Burger. The flavor was good, with a smashed patty and soft bun.Also, I got the Buffalo chicken fries, which could easily be a side for 2-3 people. It was tasty, but next time, I'd request a little less blue cheese sauce (or just on the side).That all said, I'd check it out again."

bb.q Chicken Uptown Minneapolis

★★★★☆ 4.1 (85) • $$

"THIS PLACE!!! I like chicken wings and was looking forward to trying these, but they were way beyond my expectations.The wings are made to order, so they came out nice and crispy with the most tender chicken. The Gangnam style sauce was flavorful and had a perfect kick to it. The Gangnam style wings take longer to make than some of the other menu options, so that's something to keep in mind.The Uptown location is close to bde maka ska and there's plenty of metered street parking in the area. There's a St. Paul location as well.I totally recommend bb.q and will definitely be back for more wings!"

Thai Cuisine Xpress

★★★★☆ 4.4 (72) • $$

"Probably the best pad see ew I've ever had. It wasn't a gigantic portion but the perfect amount that I avoided a food coma."

Bonchon

★★★★☆ 4.4 (70) • $$

"I unfortunately didn't take a picture of my food as I did take out and then went straight to eating but WOWW! We've had people tell us about their fried chicken and finally gave it a try. I'm super bummed I didn't come to this place as soon as it opened in Roseville because I've been missing out . Parking was very easy as they have it right in front and to place a take out order it was pretty quick. I did half and half of sauces for chicken wings which were super flavorful and had a side of kimchi which was perfect to accompany the meal and a side of fried rice plain. Service was great and food was perfect. Next time I'll be dinning in for sure !"

Pizza Karma - Apple Valley

★★★★★ 4.6 (59) • $$

"We had the Hot Honey Pear Pizza and the Hawaiian Pizza, both had unique flavors and we really enjoyed the crust. We agreed that we would definitely return for the unique pear pizza. We will definitely return to try the garlic pizza as well. Service was quick, but it was not very busy. Only real downside was that the music was not working so we got to listen to the muffled sounds of karate next door."

Pappy's

★★★★☆ 3.7 (79) • $

"If you are looking for a 5 star establishment from an ambiance perspective. This is not your spot.But if you are looking for some good food at reasonable prices with generous portions, this is your spot.I randomly-ish stopped here and am glad that I did. The person taking my order was attentive and patient with answering my questions. I went with a gyro meal. The meat was nicely seasoned and the serving size was more than enough. The fries that came with were really good also."

Bonchon

★★★★☆ 4 (65)

"Oh my gosh! The service and food were excellent! The restaurant was neat and clean, perfect place to meet up with friends. The menu had so many delicious looking items that it was hard to decide what to order. We had to try the wings, which were perfectly cooked. Crispy and excellently seasoned. My friend ordered the BulDak, which was nice and spicy, he thoroughly enjoyed it. The serving was huge. There were enough leftovers for two more meals. I ordered the Japchae, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I definitely will go back and try more of their delicious food."

Cedar Inn

★★★★☆ 3.7 (68) • $

"The Buffalo wings melted right in my mouth. It was served with a side of celery and ranch sauce. The fries where enough to feed two or maybe three. While I was sitting in outdoor seating, I heard Earth Wind and Fire on their in-house speaker. It was fairly quiet and not overbearing. I waited a reasonable amount of time from when the order was placed from when the order was served. The bathroom looked like it had been recently remodeled."

Uptown Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (88) • $$

"This is the that greesy, heavy, hole-in-the-wall pizza joint you order to feed the family while chilling on a rainy or snowy day. This pizza is not any of that fancy stuff found at many of the pizzerias around the Twin Cities. This is good old fashioned pizza that will slap ya with the itis after your final bite. And try them garlic knots, they are insanely good. Make sure to chew stick of gum though before conversing with your partner.Stop in and grab a slice, or order take out or delivery. Beware the delivery though. The pizza will arrive fresh, but the delivery time is crazy long."

Chi Maek

★★★★☆ 4.2 (51)

"We went here on a lark for a quick lunchtime snack. The place was spotless, the staff was friendly and prompt. the food came out quickly.We ordered the pork steam buns, pickled radishes, and the Karaage. They were all super fresh and tasty. I will totally be back to try other offerings.They also had someone coming around offering the Mochi donuts from Te'Amo. Those things were amazing. this place is right next door. I ended buying a dozen, because I couldn't help myself. those are my new favorite sweets right now.If you are in the area, it is completely worth it to stop by and eat here."

Mallards Restaurant & Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.2 (51)

"We dined there for lunch. A little weirdly situated - you have to go up stairs (or elevator) and it looks like an apartment building. Plenty of parking and plenty of seating inside. The place was totally empty which worried us a little since it was a Tuesday at noon. We all tried the sandwiches and the soups and they were top notch. The cranberry bread is something else. The turkey club had the best cranberry aioli and the fries were really good too. Will go back again soon!"

Huck Finn's On the Water

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (86) • $$

"Huck Finn's was amazing. The atmosphere is very welcoming, quiet and enjoyable. My husband and i haven't had any luck finding a good fish fry. A family member recommended for us to try it here and by far, best fish fry in town! After living here for a year, this is the second best restaurant we have tried and will definitely be returning. I got the tenderloin steak rare - it was juicy, seasoned and cooked to perfection. My husband got the ocean cod and it was also cooked to perfection. The tartar sauce a bit on the sweet side but it wasn't really needed since the batter was seasoned very well. I'm a huge old fashion girl and Huck Finn's nailed it with their whiskey old fashion! It really took me back to big city living vibe. The French Island Tea was also delicious! We can't wait for our next visit!"

China Garden

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (90) • $

"What I consider to be some of the best take out Chinese in the twin cities. We love their beef lo mein and orange chicken"

Carmine's Bar & Grille

★★★★☆ 3.5 (70)

"A Bloomington Bar/Grill that is average. They offer breakfast on Sundays which isn't something I'd make a special trip for but could address a hangover. They have bingo on Tuesday night at @6p to support local youth sports teams. $10 for 10 games and 3 opportunities to buy extra boards for the bigger pot rounds. The chicken stripes here are some of the BEST I've had at a bar/grill. Ordering during happy hour (4p-6p M to F) and get half off!"

3 Guys Grill

★★★★★ 4.6 (36)

"As another reviewer mentioned, "who needs Five Guys when you have 3 Guys" is an accurate summation. We ordered the chicken bowl with white sauce, chicken wings (6) and a single patty cheeseburger. The chicken bowl is a very generous portion of grilled chicken, lettuce, tomatoes over rice. The white sauce is delicious although I would appreciate a touch of garlic. Regardless the sauce once mixed thoroughly into the bowl makes the dish and I can't wait to eat those leftovers. The burger hit the spot for my husband and he may have even been disappointed he only got a single patty. The chicken wings were also good, not dry but for me it does need something to dip in (which is good that the order came with x2 sauces.)Everything came out pretty quickly and was nice and hot. The staff was nice and friendly."

J & J Fish & Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.6 (56) • $$

"As a part of #YelpsBigNightIn to support local businesses during COVID-19, I ordered from J&J after a wing craving hit. I ordered six wings and fries. The seasoning is very similar to Hook Fish and Chicken. A lemon pepper, a sweet and spicy combo that adds a delicious touch to both the chicken and fries. The wings were hot and crisp, and they're full size from wing to tip. The meat was fall off the bone tender. All in all, some of the best wings I've had in a long time. Can't wait to be able to visit in person. I ordered through Door Dash and the whole process was slick and really took no time at all between ordering and receiving my meal."

Muddy Cow

★★★☆☆ 3 (80)

"The free cheese puffs are great and drinks are generous; however we did get food poisoning there once. But have successfully eaten there a few times. Great impossible burger. Pizza is quite greasy and not that great. So really mixed review."

Philander's Grill & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (41) • $

"Nice bar and restaurant setting !A good basic place to go for a drink and some food !Kind of hidden away but fun to visit"

Barn Board Grill & Saloon

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (49) • $$

"A delicious meal in a hometown restaurant! This was my first experience at barnboard and I already know it will not be my last. We ordered a small feast to go as they are not enforcing any covid precautions and have rude customers if you do wear a mask. We started off with some delicious apps, potato skins and mac n cheese bites. The potato skins were okay, but the mac n cheese bites were such a fun treat and probably a new family favorite. We ordered 2 ragin cajun burgers and fell deeply in love. Deliciously seasoned beef, jalapeños, pepper Jack, and cooked onions made for a great way to perk us us half way through the day. My loss of star is due to the lack of safety standards, and that they didn't say anything to the customer for harassing me for simply choosing to wearing a mask because my daughter is high risk, even when they were interrupting my attempts to pay. I wish the bartender would have spoken up as I just wanted to support my new hometown restaurants during the pandemic. Otherwise, great food. Just ignore the local loud mouths."

Khue’s Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.9 (22)

"The food was all very delicious. So much that I went back the following week before the leave Bar Brava (1/13/24). A few points on the food:1]Fried Wings- You can have it with or without chili crunch. Or like I did... put it on half. First time I got it, it came with a tasty sweet sauce that went well on the rice.2)Fried Chicken Sandwich- that herb aioli is so tasty. I bet it would be good on the rice too. 3)Cream Cheese Wontons- good, but the highlight for me was the dipping sauce. It had a light fruity flavor. I had a lovely experience. Once Khue's Kitchen leaves, my understanding is 1) they'll be new venture for them and 2) Bar Brava will have another pop up."

Two Mixed Up

★★★★☆ 4.4 (27)

"When I came to Graze before a Twins game one day, I wandered around to check out all the options for grabbing lunch and finally decided on trying Two Mixed Up. While I had really wanted to try the birria tacos (they were sold out), I ended up deciding on the mushroom swiss burger (a double smash burger topped with mushroom, onion, swiss cheese, and house sauce). The burger was sizeable and smothered in cheese... I actually ended up needing to eat the burger by cutting bites with a fork, otherwise it would just have been a bit *too* much of a mess. Personally, I also could have used some more onions on the burger itself... but I had some delicious, crunchy onion rings as a side and that helped appease that craving. Prompt and friendly service here. Obviously, the ambience is encompassed in the larger food hall-concept (which I found to be enjoyable). Burger was a bit greasy and unwieldy, but still tasty."

Cambo Flare

★★★★☆ 4.4 (27)

"It's a small Cambodian restaurant connected with the gas station. I think it used to be a fast food restaurant back in the days. It's hidden away from the main roads. If you live out in Big Lake, Monticello, Elk River, Otsego, Albertville, and St. Michael there's not much southeast Asian restaurant around besides going down to Delano or Brooklyn Park. I got Chicken Lo Mein, Beef sticks with friend rice, and pho. The pho both is more on the low sodium side. If you ever been to Cheng Heng in St. Paul it's pretty similar to that just not a lot of sodium. They do provide chili oil per request. It's homemade so it has a little stronger kick to it. Beef sticks and fried rice was good. The beef sticks was really flavorful. It came with a small side of pickled papaya and carrots. Which has a good balance to the meal. (Maybe next time I'll ask for more of the pickle papaya and carrots.) The chicken lo mein was very flavorful. It's not your traditional Chinese lo mein. It's has that garlic flavor that you usually find in southeast Asian food. Which was something I really like. My advice is if you like spicy. Ask for chili oil on the side and mix it in with the lo mein. You'll thank me later. If you don't like spicy it's amazing without it too. Pro: flavorful southeast Asian food, close to home. Staff is very friendly and service is fast. Cons: I believe Rice Noodle for pho was the dry noodle kind. Which I'm not a fan of. (But that's just me as a preference and will still eat it's served.) Will I go back? Yes, I would go back."

Schuller's Tavern

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (50) • $$

"Schullers has become a family favorite/ tradition. It has a hole in the wall feel but the food here is delightful. Its the only place my child will eat chesse curds. And service is always friendly Love it here!"

Welsch's Big Ten Tavern

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (70) • $

"Guess what? This place is a "tavern" and it checks all my TAVERN boxes!You walk in and the staff says "sit where you like"Staff then says "what are you drinking?"Staff then says "what are you eating?"Best real corn beef Ruben I have had in a long time.Wow-glad you aren't in my neighborhood or I would be a local!"

Jamaican Caribbean Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (27)

"Food was delicious. The two people working appeared to be the owners. They were super nice. It seems like most people grab for takeout. The location inside is a little small for dining in but clean. Would definitely go back. If you're in the neighborhood stop by. Very flavorful fusion."

Boulder Tap House

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (41)

"Welcome to Rochester!! This is the tenth in the franchise that covers MN/IA and has been open for just 4 weeks. This place rose to my top 5 burger places to go in Rochester. The service was questionable at first and it took several minutes to get a waitress but they made up for it with a complimentary appetizer, cheese curds. The cheese curds were actually a huge chunky of gooey white cheddar cheese. They were plentiful for the cost and had wonderful flavor.I opted for the Hickory Bacon Cheddar burger on a pretzel bun. WOW what a flavorful burger and the sweet BBQ was very good. The wait time once the order was placed was very reasonable considering the place was hopping! Still under covid19 restrictions the place was full, maintaining the 6ft distances and all the staff were wearing the masks (properly I might add)Wife ordered the chicken avocado and said it was very good. Both of us ordered the (included) French fries. They were good and may have been homemade, it was difficult to tell? Tasted fresh. They have a wide variety of sides but they get an additional $1.99 to up sale.The place had plenty of televisions with a wide variety of sports and even a music video channel as well as KTTC TV weather. The menu had many options which ensures a return visit from us, wings and pizza. This place was a solid 4.5 stars and once the minor service details are worked out will surely give Wild Bill's down the street a run for their money."
