The Most Delicious Chicken Wings in New York

The Grotto

★★★★☆ 3.8 (62) • $$

"Dinner with the family and The Grotto BK did not disappoint! We started with drinks and then the ackee tostones along with the Octail spring rolls were delicious. And then we moved to the main event of dinner which brought on Oxtails with rice and peas with fried plantain, crab stuff shrimp, steam veg and fried plantain and a rather tasty baked Mac and cheese with oxtails..... Yes we love oxtails very much. All in all we loved the entire experience and the service was amazing."

Mad For Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.9 (74)

"I would consider this fast casual, and within that class I would rate it a 4.We got the bulgogi bowl and the soy garlic wings with fries. Oh yeah and a couple of lychee martinis. The bowl was good, but had I known they had regular japchae I would've preferred that. The bulgogi was a bit sweet for my personal taste, but it was otherwise seasoned well and cooked just right. And the proportion to other ingredients in the bowl was on the mark. The chicken and fries were good, but not so distinctively superior to any other Korean fried chicken in the city. Most notable was the service. We basically had 20 minutes to dine and drink because we were in a rush. We let the host and server know up front and they got us taken care of. And they were so sweet. And they gave us a bonus bowl of fresh popcorn. Thanks for the kind treatment!"

Pita Pan

★★★★☆ 3.8 (207) • $

"More of a 3.5, the food doesn't blow you away but it's solid and the prices are pretty decent. The thing that makes this place a 4 is how much of a neighborhood place this feels like, nice guys behind the counter. You're not really going to go wrong."

LilliStar

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (36)

"LilliStar is a trendy new cocktail bar at the rooftop of the Moxy in Williamsburg, and they know what they are doing!The cocktails are fantastic - I had their take on a spicy margarita, and it was delicious. I also had their spin on a Moscow Mule, and again - really unique and tasty.The guacamole with plantain chips was phenomenal, an unexpected bonus to a night out for drinks.The atmosphere is a bit clubby, with dim lighting and a DJ. But still, the chill cocktail vibe manages to persevere, and it's a nice place for a date or for small groups. AMAZING views of midtown Manhattan too, with lots of floor-to-ceiling windows and a nice patio. Make sure to book a reservation in advance, otherwise you'll be relegated to standing room by the bar.Definitely recommend this place, especially in nice weather!"

Grandpa Thai

★★★★★ 4.5 (6)

"Tried Leng Saap, and for $20, the portions were totally worth it! The waiter insisted that we eat the ribs with hands. No worries, we're wild enough to ditch the fork and knife! Seriously though, the ribs were amazing. The meat near the bone was super flavorful, tender and juicy.Stir-fried veggies with shrimp paste - The shrimp paste added so much flavor, and the crispy garlic on top made it anything but boring!Charcoal-grilled pork neck - Sweet, smoky pork paired with crunchy lettuce was a perfect combo.Thai coconut chicken hotpot - Different from the coconut chicken hotpot I've had in Shenzhen. The chicken here seemed roasted, which gave it a unique twist. The broth was creamy white and rich in coconut flavor, loaded with tofu puffs, fish cakes, bamboo shoots, and more. At $20, this hotpot was a great deal!Wrapped it all up with Mango Sago for dessert--thick and rich mango goodness! They also have a whole series of cheese-baked dishes that I'm eyeing for my next visit. Can't wait to try them out!"

Halal Munchies

★★★☆☆ 3 (9)

"Food was alright ended up getting a stomach ache afterwards. Staff was courteous. Place is new and clean. Wont come back here honestly."

The Westbury Inn

★★★★☆ 3.8 (97) • $$

"Westbury Inn is a great place, located in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens that is not fancy, a basic neighborhood bar that a gem in a rapidly changing area that's becoming full of niche places. Westbury has a great wide open space (and backyard) that's conducive to watching sports as there are several TVs in the area. A strong Knicks contingent comes here to watch the games as well as follow the Jets and Giants. Drinks are moderately prices and served well by the bartenders. No fancy cocktails hete, but great drinks and a wide selection of beers. The food has recently been revamped and is excellent, served by Jess who quickly serves up tasty burgers, crispy chicken and great sides such as fries and tenders. It is a great compliment to the drink menu and one of the few places in the area where one can have a few drinks, eat some food, and watch the games without breaking the bank .Come visit early during the week (by 7PM) and take part in watching Jeopardy as well!"

98K Kennedy

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (37) • $

"Asian fried chicken. Good value but the seasoning is a bit lacking. The fried chicken burger is delicious."

The Swan

★★★★★ 4.5 (10)

"This used to be another spot, The Swan moved in and did the remix. This is a friendly after work spot located in Bed-Stuy. TV's are everywhere, it was soccer on tonight and the bar was going wild. The drinks are top shelf and flowing, the prices are affordable, and this bartender will mix whatever you desire. I was invited here for after work drinks and The Swan did not disappoint. The service is friendly, the bartender is attentive, and there's a wonderful seating area in the back yard if the bar scene is not for you. I had Espolòn Tequila and pineapple juice which was s tasty and not too sweet. The shots of Espolòn Tequila made my night. I like my wings HOT. The hot wings with cayenne based sauce and ranch were definitely worth the trip.Come out and enjoy the casual atmosphere on any night, seating also available out front. The after work prices are available on Saturdays and wait for it... they have alcoholic smoothies (did I say that correctly?)Come thru support local business."

Wangs

★★★★☆ 4 (331) • $$

"Alright so I stumbled upon Wangs by complete accident but the scent of their kitchen lured it's way to my nose and instantly get my attention. I felt like one of those cartoons that just got lured somewhere from the scent of something delicious. I crossed my fingers in the hopes that it would taste as good as it smelled and it did NOT disappoint! Wangs serves up some delicious wings, amazing cornbread, and great potato salad! I wish I lived closer so I could get it more frequently! But I'll be back!"

K-Top Chicken

★★★★★ 4.6 (82) • $$

"I was in the area and was in the mood for Korean fried chicken. I pre-ordered on Yelp for pickup. I ordered the Soy garlic wings and they were delicious and crispy. They were a little bit on the salty side but I am somewhat sensitive to salt. They also include picked radish on the side. The service was super friendly and welcoming. There are several tables and seats if you want to sit inside as well as some outdoor seating if the weather is nice. I will definitely be back to try the other items."

The Kettle Black

★★★★☆ 3.5 (465) • $$

"Came for a quick bite and drink. Lots of games were played, the place was decently quiet until certain games were on and the crowd grew louder and larger. Service was great! Waitress was friendly and informative on alcoholic beverages and food choices. Definitely returning again!"

Chicken Stop

★★★★★ 4.5 (79) • $$

"This place is really good and really inexpensive. All their sides are great. I love their rice. They move a lot of chicken so you know it's fresh. Never had such juicy and tasty grilled chicken before. It's right near my new work place, so I'll probably be there once a week. Highly recommend! Obviously, get the half chicken and some sides. Their special green sauce thing is really nice too."

B K Halal Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (13)

"This was FIREEEEEEE. Got the lamb box which came with Mac and cheese and fries and a ton of flavorful sauce and lord the portion size was enough for two and heavy as two bricks. I couldn't stop eating and it kept me full for the rest of the day. Bought one for my brother who is very nonchalant when it comes to food and he was saying it was easily one of the best things he'd eaten and he wanted to keep eating despite being full. You can easily make two meals out of this. The lamb reminded me of halal cart lamb. Also got the jerk chicken Rasta pasta which was a smaller portion size but still alot of food. Admittedly I didn't enjoy the taste of the chicken, I think it was the meat itself that didn't have the best flavor but the jerk seasoning itself was fine. Pasta was in a more liquidy sauce so it slid right off the noodles. I think I would've enjoyed it better with the lamb. Also tried the oxtail Mac and cheese empanada. It was my first time having oxtail and don't think it's my thing but loved the creativity of the menu item. Spectacular spot with a few stools to sit and eat at. They weren't open exactly at opening time so I recommend coming closer to 30 min post opening. Would be back if it weren't so far from me!"

MD Fried Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.4 (20)

"When my sister and I first stumbled upon 19 El, a little more than 6 months ago, we were drawn in by their bold blue storefront, so when another bright yellow shop popped up right next door, it certainly piqued our interest.MD Fried Chicken is the latest chicken shop on 8th Ave, Brooklyn, serving everything from wings, drumsticks, and nuggets, to fries, tteokbokki, and spicy noodles. The establishment shares the same owner as 19 El next door, and all I can say is that the owner sure knows how to turn heads.The interior (and exterior) is bright, warm, and sunny, with cute decor, and minimal seating by the window. Their soft opening was on February 1st, so when we entered, a few of the staff were still engaged in training.* Chicken Party Box 一米炸鸡盒 $25.99(2pcs drumsticks, 6pcs wings, 6pcs nuggets, fries, & tots)This is the perfect selection if you want to try a bit of everything, and the box is honestly so cute. You can choose up to 3 sauces, one for the drumsticks, one for the wings, and one for the nuggets.Do note that their chicken is made to order, so the wait can take up to 30 minutes. We were the only customers upon arrival, and got our food in roughly 10 to 15 mins, though there were many in-person and delivery orders after us.- Soy Garlic Wings 蒜味酱油鸡翅We opted for soy garlic wings, and these were delicious. The balance between sweet and savory was impeccable, though the wings were a tad small and not as crispy as I expected.- Spicy Drumsticks 秘制辣酱鸡腿These were huge compared to the wings and delivered a delightful kick of spice. The drumsticks were a bit sweet though, so I wonder what's the difference between this and their swicy (sweet spicy) flavor.- Snow Cheese Nuggets 雪花起司鸡块My favorite, both in terms of flavor and selection. Think tender, juicy boneless chicken, or popcorn chicken (but bigger), covered in rich, creamy cheese powder.- Fries 薯条- Tots 薯球Your everyday fries and tots, crispy and lightly seasoned with salt and pepper. Ketchup packets provided on the side."

Ace's Pizza

★★★★★ 4.7 (234) • $$

"This is the best pizza I've ever had. Been to NYC twice and have had the pleasure of enjoying this pizza twice!The entire experience was great. You will not be disappointed and if you are well I don't know what to tell ya. When I talk about the best pizza I've ever had it is hands down Ace's!Get some bread stick bites !! The atmosphere of this pizza place is perfect. Employees Pizza Experience from start to finish Go to NYC and make your way to Williamsburg and go to Ace's!!! Life is short, eat good pizza !!!"

Sweetie’s K-Chicken

★★★★★ 4.6 (81)

"This place is super chill clean easy to find. You can't miss the two cute faces hanging on the side of the awning. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The food was great made fresh and super delicious. I purchased the soy garlic chicken bowl and the spicy soy garlic poppers and two beverages and spent a total of 42.48 it was a good portion and so worth it!"

Dokebi Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (456) • $$

"The best Korean BBQ I've had since I left SoCal. Periodt. Banchan was , bulgogi, pork belly, and lots of veggies. So fresh. Great service. Will definitely be back!"

Miss Dong Burger

★★★★☆ 3.7 (20)

"Since the pandemic I've been ordering from Miss Dong. It's like an Asian McDonald's. I've ordered take out and as well as delivery and I haven't had any problem. Delivery was within 25 minutes. I do prefer Miss Dong over Moon and Flower as their menu is very similar. They also have combos to choose from. I usually order their crab burger which they do not have in Moon and Flower. Also Miss Dong provides better customer services for example when you call in advanced to order and once your order is done, the cashier would normally give you a call. For the last two month or so they were offering buy 2 get 1 free burger which I took over. I did like their chicken nuggets for a time period but the last two order was overalls fried but that doesn't stop me from ordering from Miss Dong!"

Twisted Wings

★★★★☆ 4 (129)

"I really like the wings here but the burger is not acceptable. The slice of tomato still had the sticker on it and the patty is incredibly dry like cardboard. You can get better quality at McDonald's or Wendy's. Really disappointing for a $13-$14 burger and waste of a meal."

Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken

★★★☆☆ 3.4 • $$

"My family and I were visiting from California. We read reviews about blue ribbon, fried chicken and when we came to New York, we wanted to try it. To our delight it was just as good as all the other people said it would be so I would like to say that our host that rang us up had a wonderful attitude gave us wonderful service and we would recommend this place to any and everyone because the food was delicious, but Jay he was the icing on the cake. This was the best customer service we had in New York City. Thanks Jay. We'll be back. We need blue ribbon in California."

Turntable Chicken Jazz

★★★★☆ 3.8 • $$

"You Turn Me Right Round Baby Right Round...If you're in search of a dining experience that hits all the right notes, this jazz-themed Korean eatery is a must-visit. From the moment you step in, the warm lighting and the soulful tunes of jazz transport you to a cozy yet sophisticated space. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between relaxed and upscale, making it ideal for both casual dinners and special occasions.Now, let's talk about the star of the show--the food! Their fried chicken is delicious. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned with just the right kick, it's the kind of dish you'll be thinking about long after your meal. They also offer a curated drink menu that features craft cocktails which complement the food beautifully.But what truly sets this place apart is the vibe. The playlist keeps the atmosphere lively yet laid-back.Will definitely pre-game here again!"

Wing Wagon

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (143) • $$

"The best wings in Brooklyn!!! So many delicious flavors to choose from, staff is efficient and friendly. Prices are great, I usually get the hot wings/lemon pepper and garlic parmesan with curly fries."

JZ's Fish Wing

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (14)

"As I was driving on Remsen Avenue and I noticed that there is a relatively new addition to the BJ family on Remsen Avenue. I decided I'm hungry let's give it a try. Upon entering I notice that they are following all requirements put in place by the CDC, the sitting area was not there, there is a see-through partition and the employees are wearing both mask and gloves. I placed my order and within five minutes it was ready. Everything was well seasoned and tasty. The only negative thing I have is that eating utensils are open so people can touch multiple."

Blazin Chicken & Gyro

★★★★☆ 4 (3)

"If you know me, you know I'm a stickler for great customer service. Yesterday, I visited Blazin Chicken and Gyro--a new fast food spot--and I have to say, my experience was top-notch! My server, Dev, was incredibly sweet and helped me choose the perfect meal.I went with the mixed chicken and lamb gyro, paired with a side of mozzarella sticks, Oreo waffles, and strawberry lemonade. Blazin's menu is packed with creative and delicious options--it's like a modern, upgraded twist on Kennedy's Fried Chicken.Now for the taste test: Joel, the chef behind my gyro, absolutely nailed it. His work was the definition of cooking with passion and care.If you're ever around Nostrand Avenue, do yourself a favor and stop by. And don't forget to mention your girl sent you!"

Wings & Seafood

★★★★☆ 4.1 (46)

"While in the area for an event I was looking for food. I parked outside of this place and was hoping they'd still be open when I left my event. At 9:00 when everything else was closing they were still open and happy to serve me.The coin purses at this place being sold are nuts and funny. If you like Asian toys and knick knacks and you are in the area you might want to pop in and look. I figured I would just sit in my car even though there is seating inside and eat my food. I grabbed a fry and it was really like what I needed. It was not just some bland strugglish potato. It was a salty fried tasty gift from the heavens. If they taste this great sober, those of you who are drinking will probably appreciate them.Though I wanted fish, I decided to get wings. There were plenty of sauce options but I decided to just go with medium sauce. I ordered a soda and the nice woman who helped me made sure that I didn't walk out without it. She also asked me if I wanted some of those crazy coin purses and I decided to buy two for $5.Overall I think I spent $19. I got six buffalo wings fries and a soda for 13 something. I got two coin purses for $5. The wings were tasty but the fries were so good but I just focused on them like a guy would focus on someone's friend because he's a douchebag.I definitely did not expect to have this kind of good experience at this place and I am happy that I stopped in."

Rokstar Chicken

★★★★★ 4.6 (9)

"We ordered via Seamless on a week night. We have all been under the weather and cooking was out of the question. It was nice to have a nearby option that had great reviews. Our neighbors had great things to say so we decided to give them a try. We ordered a classic whole fried chicken with french fries. The delivery was timely however, the chicken was nothing to write home about. it was OK. The chicken and fries tasted like it was fried in old oil. It could have been an off day so I will revisit."

Fulton Halal Grill

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (9)

"Smooth spot if you need sum quick.Chicken chopped cheese was solid, but too salty.Had some honey BQQ wings though and those joints were fire, no lie.I had some ghost pepper sauce with it too, went crazy.No pics on this post yet but I give it a 6.5/10"

My House Burgers & Shakes

★★★★☆ 3.6 (403) • $$

"I am happy to say that this place is still around and just realized it's been 10 years to the day today that I'm writing another review for them! (Yikes a long time for me, but so awesome that they've been around for so long!).I came here late night tonight on a dessert search after another place canceled my order after I arrived... My House to the rescue and, even better, they had a dessert my husband loves and we don't often get - a homemade magnolia banana cream pudding with nilla wafers and bananas! So delicious and I was also blessed to try the Dubai chocolate that they also have specially made for them :)The place has grown in the last 10 years and they have both an outdoor area as well as a back area for drinks and hookah. This evening they had a lovely firelogs background playing on the 2 TVs and it was a nice and cozy space for a date night or a chill spot with friends. The interior is clean and was nicely decorated for the holidays and the girls behind the counter were super sweet! I got a chance to see the owner again, whom I met way back when and it was so lovely speaking with him! My husband and I really enjoyed meeting him and seeing how much he cares. He really stands behind his products and today seeing him again, nothing has changed and I see why they're still going strong. I will definitely be back and recommendy House Burgers and Shakes! :)"

Abe's Pagoda Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (142)

"My friends and I came here on a Saturday night. It was pretty busy, but the bar is fairly large and there was room on the dance floor! The DJ was good; he mostly played remixes of 80s - 00s hits. Fun place to get a drink and dance; I'd definitely come back."

Tonchin

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$

"Vegan review!Honestly such a beautiful restaurant. Ordered myself a Miso Ginger ramen and I was so impressed! The noodles were cooked perfectly and the broth was so flavorful. By no means is it your typical ramen, but it totally hits the spot for a cozy noodle soup dish. Service was incredible and despite being a full restaurant - it is such a short wait. Totally coming back here when I am visit again!"

Tulum Brooklyn

★★★★☆ 4.4 (18)

"10/10/10 : Food, Service, Ambiance ! I'd like to give a big shout out to Rinaldo & Eduardo (spellcheck). They were very kind and generous with their service. We just moved to the area and weren't sure where to eat and lucked out with Tulum Brooklyn!! Like seriously I think I just found my new favorite spot. Fun fact: They have a restaurant and a lounge in the same building that share a wall! You can host birthdays or special events too. The lounge has a bar and hookah if you're in to that as well. Now let's talk about the food: AMAZING! Imagine a Japanese x Mexican hybrid. We had one deep fried sushi role that was AMAZING! The guacamole was super fresh and made right in front of us and the rest of the food was delicious. Even the ambiance and decor was a vibe. The interior is beautiful and the outdoor patio is perfect for summer time. Another fun fact: The place just opened this year in April. They're still creating interesting new dishes and everything was so amazing and tasty and the best part is because it's so fresh, we didn't even feel bloated. We were vey happy and full! Thank you again to Rinaldo and Eduardo. My friend said they always had really good recommendations and they did give us a customize cocktail that was super refreshing and even that was delicious!"

Peeps Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.8 (83)

"My favorite Korean fried chicken in all of NYC. First off, Peeps Kitchen is run by the sweetest couple ever. They are the friendliest, warmest people you'll ever meet. You can really tell that their food is a labor of love, and you'll taste it in every bite!Like all the other reviews mention, there's no seating, so make sure to call ahead of time. They also don't start serving chicken until dinner, so plan accordingly. For lunch, they exclusively serve bento boxes (I have yet to try them, but it's definitely on my list).Now to the chicken--the glorious crunchy chicken that is Peeps. The crunch is just absolutely insane. If you get sauce, definitely ask for it on the side so that your chicken doesn't get soggy. After the crunch comes the tender, juicy insides, so fresh and delicious. The texture of their chicken is an experience in and of itself. Their soy garlic sauce is perfection, and if you want a little bit of a kick, they have a couple of spicy options.You also MUST get their tteok kkochi (fried rice cake w/sausage skewers). The texture of the rice cakes is incredible. Crispy around the edges but super chewy and soft on the inside. The sausage is also always grilled perfectly, and the spicy sauce that comes on top is delectable. It's also a perfect snack to eat on the go! Peeps is just THE place for Korean fried chicken."

Bay Ridge House Of Wings

★★★★☆ 4.2 (60)

"Amazing wings for affordable price. We got the 10 piece wings to share for two people as well as a chop sandwich. It was my first time trying a chop sandwich and now I'm hooked! The place from what I remember was quite small and not sufficient seating. I highly suggest just getting a takeout order!"

Square Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.4 (11)

"I had the spicy honey pepperoni pizza. It was excellent. Simple and delicious. Went back several times and also got the pineapple ham pizza. The service was great and they open late at night. Will definitely go back when we visit NYC again."
