The Tastiest Chicken Wings in Philadelphia

Frannie Nicks

★★★☆☆ 3 (47)

"I've ordered delivery from Frannie Nick's twice since covid-19. Each time I felt like I was eating a good home cooked meal. The standout star both times was the cheesesteak eggrolls. They are delicious. As good as you will find anywhere in the city. That's the only dish that reminds you that you have ordered from a restaurant. The fried chicken, macaroni & cheese, and string beans have that homemade taste that makes you feel like you made yourself the plate of food at a family dinner. In this era of covid-19, when a lot of sould food family dinners have been canceled, Frannie Nick's really hits the spot when I'm craving soul food."

Chix & Wings

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (137)

"Ordered delivery tonight after walking by this place so many times and never stopping in, and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the chicken sandwich with cheese and a side of onion rings as well as the crispy chicken bowl with chix rice and a side of mild creamy sauce. Yes, I, one person, ordered all that. I couldn't decide what I wanted. It's been a long week, okay?!The sandwich was delicious. The chicken was still pretty crispy even for delivery and the pickle, cheese, lettuce, and onion game added some class, texture, and flavor. I had ordered the onion rings because why not and those could have been crispier but they were still good. I dipped a few in the mild creamy sauce.The bowl was also pretty fantastic once I added that mild and creamy sauce in. I don't know what magic that sauce is made out of but I thought it was a great mix of heat and flavor. I'm not too sure about the partitioned takeout container because it made it difficult to mix it all together, but I got a couple solid bites of chicken, rice, vegetables, and sauce together before I fell into a food coma. I like the crisp on the chicken. The vegetables were more than just broccoli and carrots, which was fine by me. I love me some squash. Overall, not my favorite chicken bowl in the city (could use some more crunchy texture like some lettuce on the bottom maybe?) BUT still a solid contender.The sandwich was definitely my favorite and I would totally order that again with some of that saaaaauce. I'm interested to try their wings sometime too and maybe some other sauces. Solid chicken spot!"

Babas Hot Chicken & Brews

★★★★☆ 4.3 (20)

"Delicious chicken sandwich. I ordered the hot Mac sandwich, the southern bbq sandwich, a side of fries, and the Mac and cheese. The sandwiches were flavorful, crispy, and juicy at the same time. In comparison to other local chicken joints, there are more options for type of sandwich flavor combo as well as wing, wrap, and tender options. The portion of chicken was substantial as well. My more spice inclined friend did note though, if you want your actual spice level order 1 higher than you expect. The plain fries were crispy, would definitely opt for getting them seasoned or topped with cheese or sauce. The Mac and cheese was your regular tasting stovetop Mac, nothing to phone home about but satisfying enough. The service was prompt and the restaurant was very clean. It was a takeout order, but could definitely see myself grabbing a beer and another sandwich another time."

West Wings

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (8)

"Love to support local businesses. I will be going again as the bourbon wings didn't knock it out of the park for me. I did like the hand cut fries, presentation was good and the service was excellent. I'll be back with another update once I go again. If you have been, what do you recommend?"

Ribs R' Us

★★★★☆ 3.5 (8)

"So this place wasn't on yelp but the food is WAY too delicious not to be on here. The food taste like my uncle from down south was on the grill in a linen outfit and leather sandals(iykyk). I got the ribs, Mac n cheese(taste lie my moms) yams and green beans. I had it delivered and they didn't have the chocolate cake I ordered, the worked called to offer me alternates and added and extra dessert for the inconvenience. Can't beat great food with great service. The place is unassuming but don't miss out!"

1010 Pizza & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (91) • $

"Pre-Covid I was here at least three or four times a month. But then I moved away for a bit but I'm back in Delco and back going to 1010. Over the years I've had their salads, cheesesteaks and some of their pizza. Every single meal has been tasty and great.Today my daughter was here from the city and wanted to order takeout so I suggested 1010. She called the order in and drove to pick it up.I got a text from her when she was there telling me how friendly everybody was there. She wasn't used to that because of living in the city but I told her that this is a normal occurrence there. Every customer is treated as if they are their best customer. They really have the customer service thing down. Today, we opted for a chef salad and a Cobb salad. Both were awesome. Both were packaged well and made it safely home in the car without a mess. You can't go wrong with 1010. Give it a try."

Star Fusion Express

"Service was very good. The seafood fried rice was good. Didn't seem to be the freshest, but taste was good and overall very solid meal"

Philly Wings & Things

★★★☆☆ 3 (34)

"I've tried them a couple times. And I can say there are a few things here that I truly enjoy. Their fried chicken is quite good. It's big and crispy. It's definitely the pressure cooked kind and not just some frozen parts thrown into a deep fryer. I think it's a well-kept secret. I also liked the pizza rolls and cheese sticks. My son enjoys the burgers. I'm not crazy about everything they make. Some of their food is more average. In fact that's exactly how I feel about their wings. But they do a few things well and I appreciate that."

Sunny Chang's Pizza & More

★★★★☆ 4.3 (12) • $

"I ordered 4 wings and broccoli with fried rice. The wings are meaty and good! I got the mild teriyaki and it was very tasty. The wings were cooked well and nice and juicy. I was not feeling the rice it had an after taste that I couldn't pinpoint but it was not desirable. I'll be back for wings and skip the rice. Good value for the amount of food."

Cappy’s Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.7 (22)

"Here again the other night. Was very busy since it was a Friday night but we were able to find yo seats at the bar. They have a dj on Friday and Saturday which is pretty loud but ok. I didn't have food this time just drinks but I recommend the wings or the shrimp platter."

Keystone Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.5 (45) • $$

"I ordered from Keystone and am glad I did. They had a free delivery deal, and the prices were pretty fair. The baked ziti had lots of cheese and was not bad. The salad had huge pieces of veggies and a lot of feta, which I liked a lot. And each item came with nice, soft bread. The delivery person was also very friendly. I'd order from here again for sure."

Atlanta Wings

★★★★☆ 3.8 (25)

"This place is pretty good! I need to try their wings. I've had a cheesesteak platter previously and it was very good and fresh. This time around I got a homemade iced lemonade with a garden salad with cheesesteak rolls and they hit the spot"

Nori Poke Bowl

★★★★★ 4.9 (18)

"Very fast service! I was excited to see a poke bowl shop open up in the area. It's also located in a super convenient location with plenty of parking. There's also limited seating indoors and outdoors in case you'd rather eat in the store, but most of the times I've gone, it was mostly for take out.The first time I visited with my friend, we both got the Big Bang poke bowl, which is the most similar to the poke I used to get when I lived Hawaii. It was a nice throw back to nostalgic times.Definitely a great new hole in the wall shop in town worth checking out!"

Da Burger Jawn

★★★★★ 4.5 (12)

"I can't recommend this place enough! For a full review check my IG @dr.afia_abroad. My video on this restaurant went viral recently. Uptown needs more good food options, so I'm so happy it's here. I tried many menu options and loved them all. Favorites are the chicken Ceasar salad sandwich (sounds weird but trust me, it's amazing), salmon teriyaki bowl, pizza fries and garlic buffalo wings. Oh and anything with BBQ sauce. The owner here is the son of Dwight's BBQ in Erie (IYKYK)"

Uptown Seafood

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (6)

"I ordered a salmon cheesesteak and it was DELICIOUS!! Full of flavor with a great balance of seasoning. The special sauce was jus that special. Not over powering and complimented the sandwich perfectly."

Captain’s Hot chicken

★★★☆☆ 3 (4)

"One of the best hot chicken sandwiches i've ever had! The service was great and while there wasn't yet indoor seating, the establishment was clean and organized. This is definitely going to be a regular spot for us!"

Love & Honey Fried Chicken

★★★★★ 4.5 (500) • $$

"I'm from the west coast and live hand breaded chicken strips. That's what I was looking for. Got the Rockies combo (chicken/strips) and a side of regular tots. It's only serves for take away. I did eat it while it was hot and fresh in my car. The food was hot and fresh, both strips and chicken were moist. Breading was nice crisp and light. They could be seasoned more, that's what was missing for me. Fried chicken should be amazing without hot sauce(in my opinion) It felt more like the batter was seasoned but not the chicken. I could taste the flour a bit as well. Over all it was good, but missing that seasoning magic. The chicken was cooked perfectly for on the bone chicken. I don't want to take that away from them. The tots were fire and crispy. Ranch was homemade a pinch dill forward, nonetheless good quality The guy at the window was super helpful and polite, which is partly a reason I'd try again. Food flavor -3.75Quality-5Service-5"

Soul Greedy

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (17)

"Man where do I begin?! So I was looking for some soul food and boy did I find it‍ Food literally fed my soul! I had a fried salmon dinner with mac and a whole lot of cheese , some of the best yams I've ever had ! I definitely would recommend ordering ahead but the wait wasn't bad either. They were definitely doing their thing in the kitchen so be quiet and wait lol. I will definitely be back ! Over and over! And hopefully I can get them to cater my wedding in the future"

Chef's Spot Pizza

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (10) • $

"I've now eaten here four times. I've gotten something different each time and I have to say it's been extremely delicious! This place is literally a hole in the wall, doesn't look the best, but a lot of times that's the best place for food. The owner is really friendly and once you've ordered there one time, he'll remember you from there on out. The fries are really good and have some kind of seasoning on them, so you don't need to add salt. I've had a hoagie, salad, wrap and grilled cheese, and everything was super tasty. My big thing about hoagies are the roll, and this place nailed it!"

caribbean feast

★★★★☆ 3.5 (90) • $$

"I first saw this food cart last week and I was like "Ouuuu they make Caribbean food?? i gotta to give that a try at least once." I expected the seasoning to be slightly watered down since we're in center city, the portions to be a bit small because once again, its center city because I'm sure renting in a prime time spot isn't cheap for carts. Surprisingly, the portions weren't as small as I thought they would be and some of the platters were made ready-to-go! I'm used to neighborhood Caribbean spots running out of food fast or taking 20 min per order, but they were pretty fast and the price point was reasonable. ($8 with a free soda for jerk chicken, plantains, cabbage, and rice in a big bowl). They could've put way more plantains and cabbage in there instead of rice and beans, but the flavor was pretty solid. The chicken is boneless which was convenient imo.I'll def be back here to try the Oxtails and the beef patties. They were out of oxtails. As any good Caribbean spot should be. Pro tip: If you walk up to a Caribbean restaurant / food truck after 3 pm and they still have every single item on the menu available, turn back out the door lol all the good good spots run outta food early lol"

JD's Soul Food Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (19)

"Not sure why they have such a low rating, I was surprised by how late they were open and honestly really enjoyed my order of shrimp and fries. Only slight complaint was the saltiness could have been a little bit lower for my taste buds. That being said the shrimp were huge, nicely fried and came with a tasty dipping sauce. The fries were exactly what I was craving, plus they were seasoned. Hopefully the quality holds up next time I order as well, will definitely be trying other items on the menu."

King of Wings

★★★☆☆ 3 (41) • $

"It's Superbowl Sunday and I wanted to get some hot wings for me and a couple of friends so we could watch Big Red finally get a championship. I tried a couple of other spots that were too busy and had a long wait, so I decided to give King of Wings a try. They're located in South Philly, on Passeyunk Ave and they have been there for a long time. The place was busy, but not too crowded. The smell was terrific and I was sure I had found the right place. I looked over the menu and ordered 20 buffalo wings, 10 buffalo fingers, a half rack of ribs and a large potato salad. The prices were very reasonable.I had to wait a bit, but it wasn't that long considering that it was a busy Superbowl SundayI set it up on the dinning room table and I piled a little bit of everything on my plate and sat down on the couch to enjoy the game. The wings were okay, not nearly spicy enough for me, they were medium sized and coated well. The buffalo fingers were kind of soft but fresh. The ribs were not that tender and I felt like a wild animal in the woods tearing meat off the bone. The sauce was tasty though, nice and tangy. The potato salad was nothing to write home about, but it had a cooling balance to all of the spicy food.I was glad the game was good and nobody complained about the food, Big Red prevailed and all of the food was eaten, and lot of adult beverages were consumed and everyone left with a smile on their face."

Chase's Hop Shop

★★★★★ 4.6 (125) • $

"The food is great and the customer service is on point. This place is an absolute must try. I've only had a couple items on the menu but I can tell they know what they are doing. This is the kind of place where you know the cooks care about their food!"

Sorrento Pizzeria And Grill

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (20)

"We got delivery from Sorrento. Delivery was fast and friendly.Pizza was fine, nothing great and nothing wrong.Chicken wings were overcooked, too hard and too dry. They were also supposed to come with celery but there was no celery included. I would avoid chicken wings from here in the future."

Thak Thai

★★★★☆ 4 (21)

"Food we ordered chicken satay, kapow /basil stir fry, pad see eew, and a thai tea. Food was great. They don't skimp out on the amount of chicken in the food and honestly the vegetables taste so good that you don't even need the protein added. Thai tea had a bit too much milk, but I like that it came in a to-go cup. Place is small had like two tables that seat 4 people feels much more like a take out place. They are short staffed so we were patient. Only two people working. We dined in and the staff was very kind, there is a bit of a language barrier but overall we got our order in and everything came out great."

OK Hot Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.9 (24)

"What an amazing place! I was so glad to be invited by the owners of OK hot chicken to come and try their evening establishment. During the day they run Martabak ok which is a sweet and savory pancakes. But after 6 pm, this is the place to be if you love fried chicken! We tried the sandwich, wings, loaded fries and a wrap! All the dishes had varying level of heat, so we could taste it all and honestly even the most spiciest level was 100% enjoyable. Which I think sets them apart, there's been a lot of new hot fried chicken places in Philly and some of them just overdo the spice. Anyway ok hot chicken is halal, fresh, crispy and juicy. They are super sweet and the storefront is clean, it's a take out joint only, so do not expect to sit in."

Charlie's Chicken

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"This place just opened up a month or so ago across the street from where I work and I finally went over there today to give it a try. I've been trying to stick with healthier options lately, but I threw that all out the window today and ordered the Reuben Cheesesteak. Reubens are my #1 favorite sandwich, and this was a really good twist on it - typical Reuben ingredients in a nice soft hoagie roll. It was really good and not overly packed which is how I like my sandwiches. My friend got the chicken cutlet BLT and said it was really good - she said the chicken was great. I'm definitely trying that one next time! The owner (Charlie, I presume) was really nice as well and we enjoyed our sandwiches so we will be giving him some more business soon."

Rising Sun Pizza

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (62) • $

"Ordered today the bbq chicken pizza and coconut shrimp and let me tell you it's was soooooooo gooooodddd and I hardly say that about any food ! Definitely a must try ! Delivery was quick for a Saturday."

Sakura Teriyaki

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (21)

"I have ordered through them quite a bit, and one thing I can say is they are timely and have done a great job with the no-contact delivery. I have had a few dishes that were better than others (the crab ragoon the last time I had it was chewy), but for the most part they are pretty consistent."

Tsaocaa

★★★★☆ 4.4 (67) • $

"Cheated on my beloved Kung Fu Tea on Saturday and went to Tsaocaa only cuz Manayunk does not have a Kung Fu Tea.I have to say the Thai milk tea here is pretty great, and might I even say, better than Kung Fu Tea's Thai milk tea. This was my first time at Tsaocaa and price wise it's comparable to Kung Fu Tea, maybe a little more expensive, but barely. I like their tall plastic cups too. Probably not the most environmental friendly but they are just a little fancier than the other cups from the other Bubble Tea shops.I don't think they have an app where you can customize and order your drinks ahead of time, but the staff was quick, and I was in and out of there in 5 minutes."

Wings & Thai Station

★★★★★ 4.6 (22)

"What an awesome little restaurant. Have been here twice for lunch and both times it was outstanding. I had Pad Thai the first time and Red Curry the second. If you are looking for a good, authentic Thai restaurant, check them out."

Rib Rack

★★★★☆ 4 (166)

"The food was a pretty good option for the holiday weekend. The baby back rib platter was good and filling. The ribs were tender, the Mac and cheese were flavorful, and the corn bread was tasty. I ordered to go and my food was about a 20 minute wait. They have dinning room, but it was very dim and dark inside, like a pub. Overall pretty good. It's not easy finding good bbq in Philly."

Cluck N Fry

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"There are two criticisms of Cluck N Fry. 1: The name is terrible, it just is. Sounds fatalistic and dark, as if, "Cluck Then Die" might have been considered. 2: It's take out only, so the quality of the food will suffer in inverse proportion to how long it take you to get home.Those noted, this is absolutely the best fried chicken sandwich you'll ever, ever have. I rate them 12/10, better than turning it up to 11. It's huge, it's cripsy, it's tasty, and is very high quality. The available waffle fries, unlike ALL other waffle fries anywhere else in the known universe, are not empty and dry, they were meaty and substantial. Even the roll used is an out-of-the-park affair. I liked the coleslaw, too, though my dining partner, who is wrong, didn't.Again, it's BYOB, Bring Your Own Bathroom. I suspect that why it's take out only. So, pee first, go get your food, and go home to eat the best fried chicken sandwich you've ever had!"

America's Best Wings

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (20)

"I liked the wings....... but that's about all. Even though it's called "America's Wings", there's no freedom of choice.I went there to try out their wings, and who doesn't like a good wing? They have a impressive amount of different flavor sauces and I love spicy food. I thought about ordering the ghost pepper sauce, but I did that once at East Coast Wings during an Yelp event and once was enough, believe me!I ordered the whole wings and I wanted them coated with the Thai chili sauce which was sweet and spicy. The girl taking my order told me in a voice that was tired of repeating the answer. "We don't put the sauce on whole wings you get it on the side a put it on yourself" What? Like ketchup? I want my wings coated with the sauce right from the fryer, so the sauce gets into every nook and cranny. She went on to explain that they only put the sauce on buffalo style wings and I asked her what's the difference? She just shrugged and asked if I wanted to order anything. I felt I was dismissed. Normally I would have left there and never come back, but these are unusual times concerning dinning out so I ordered some buffalo style wings with the Thai chili sauce. I also ordered the hush puppies and fried mushrooms. The wings were a nice size, meaty and tasty. The Thai chili sauce was tasty, but absolutely zero heat. I don't understand how you can use the word "Thai" without a little heat. The mushrooms were so-so, not much of a outer crust. The hush puppies were too dry and you didn't get that cornbread flavor. The meal wasn't that cheap and it seems to me that you should always get what you pay for and get a choice that you are happy with, sadly not here."
