The Best Chicken Wings in Saint Paul

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."

Hickory Hut

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (102) • $$

"WOW, I was pleasantly surprised with the wings and hojos. This place was nostalgic for my boyfriend as his dad used to bring these wings to him as a child but they were at a different restaurant (shorty n wags). I believe they are closed so he's been on the hunt to find ones identical to those ones and these were exactly that. Staff was welcoming and helpful but nothing over the top. Inside is a little small but enough room to sit down and eat if you'd like. The dry rub on the wings was very flavorful with a sweet and spicy flavor. The hojos and wings were cooked to perfection. These thinly sliced potatoes are in between a potato chip and scalp potatoes and they were seasoned very well. We also got a side of the Mac n cheese and honestly I'd skip it in the future. It lacked flavor and tasted like cardboard so it was a hard no for me. It filled my boyfriend's craving of those nostalgic wings he had as a child. Besides the Mac, I would rate the food a solid 5/5 and will definitely be back."

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."

Brick and Bourbon

★★★★☆ 4.2 (207) • $$

"Rolled up to the place about 1:15pm on a Saturday. There was a major Art in the Park event at the park adjacent to this location. Note: I will prelude that this particular moment and day was important for me - some members or my family and my boyfriend's family were meeting up. Wanted things to be special and there was a little nervousness mixed it. So maybe I'm hyper critical of the nerves of first introductions - but I was bummed this place let me down.From the start: Hostess was NOT super approachable and kind. Issue 1: From the road you can see there was an open air cement patio. We have NOT been there before and wanted to have the dog on the patio like many other establishments in the cities do. It's not the issue we couldn't have the dog - it was just the way it was relayed. Issue 2: We had a larger party and wanted to connect tables. It was harshly relayed they don't move tables because the bases are heavy. Again it was the delivery that bothered me the most. Issue 3: We entered through the wrong door trying to get sat on the patio. We found the front with ease and did the normal things you do at a restaurant and waited. Still more attitude and tone from the same person. The hostess is the face of the restaurant and set a vibe. This particular person was having a bad day or something. For me and this dinning experience it was such a let down to start the experience off with that attitude. The food and waiter were just okay. The whiskey drinks seemed to be enjoyed by the folks at the table. Out of our party no one seemed blown away besides a teenager with her three cheese macaroni. Cinnamon roll for brunch wasn't a thumbs up by anyone at the table worker. Prices were okay to above average. TL;DR-Food and server was just okay at 3.25 stars -Would only recommend to someone that likes whiskey and bourbon - besides that it was a very forgettable experience. Also --No dogs on patio-No moving tables on patio -Patio is next to a major road and below light rail. -Make sure you enter through the right door Try it or not - happy dining."

R Social on Main

★★★★☆ 4.1 (149) • $$

"They have so many options on the menu- something for everyone! We got the sunnies and pickles for appetizers and they were both really flavorful. Ordered the R Social burger and others I was with got the lobster grilled cheese, tuna salad and all looked so good. The service was great- food came out quick and the drinks were refilled consistently. The seating is comfortable and it wasn't too noisy even though it was pretty busy."

Art Song's Wings

★★★★☆ 4.2 (6)

"nobody makes wings like this. real asset to the community. love the sides, too, especially the rice and jojo potatoes"

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."

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."

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."

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 !"

Wing Joint

★★★★☆ 4.1 (115) • $

"I love their chicken. Took a chance one day and became a once a month regular. The seasoning is so good on this chicken, it seems to have a hint of cinnamon flavor. The wings can be on the smaller side so keep that in mind when ordering. The flavor is worth the size. Chicken is fresh every time, usually 20 min wait. It's always busy in there so that's a good sign the food is good. I like their potato wedges too. The sweet and sour sauce is so good too, made in house I was told by an employee. This is the best chicken in the area."

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."

Ho Ho Gourmet

★★★★☆ 3.5 (150) • $$

"We grew up on Ho Ho's friend chicken wings and basically every single plate pictured in this review. It's been over a decade since we lived near this restaurant and we still talk about it frequently. We finally got to stop by while in town. They've renovated, clean, plenty parking, and restrooms available. The service is amazing. You can call ahead to make reservations, you can also order to go and they are so considerate about asking if you need paper plates and utensils! You can not go wrong with anything here. It's comfort on a plate. If this is your first time definitely try one of their appetizer soups and get the Ho hos fried chicken wings! They also have a buffet available during certain hours! They can get busy, especially on weekends! But plenty seating and great for large parties as well!"

MC’s Garage

"Great tasting food and fast service. We went for a Sunday Brunch then one night after work. Both times were delicious!"

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."

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!"

Minnesota Wing King

★★★★☆ 4.2 (31)

"The food is outstanding. Great neighborhood feel and did I mention how good the food is!? The sides should be considered a main course with the amount received and the quality / flavor / etc. The wings were dreamy and creative and tasty and everything I had wished for and more. We couldn't finish them and they were lights out for lunch the next day!"

Oasis Mediterranean Grill

★★★★★ 4.7 (6)

"Me and a few of my friends stopped here for a quick lunch and I enjoyed it so much.There were a few people waiting for their pick up orders when we stopped in, we all ordered and waited about 10-15 minutes before it was ready.I ordered the lamb platter and it had decent portions of lamb, rice, and peppers and onions.It was so flavorful and filling and I'm happy I finally got to try Oasis Mediterranean Grill"

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."

Indianhead Supper Club

★★★★☆ 3.8 (60) • $$$

"Ambiance is stellar! Food was delicious-- Shannon our server and quite frankly the entire staff was lovely. Hands down our new spot"

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."

Hell's Gate Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.5 (4)

"Randomly stopped here for a late lunch on a Thursday afternoon after a quick stop at the gas station which is next door to the restaurant. My friend and I asked our waiter for recommendations as the menu is fairly large and lots of variety. He recommend the garlic pizza fries but recommended to add pepperoni. Very good! My friend and I also shared the cranberry wild rice club sandwich.... Delish! Let's just say now I want cranberry wild rice bread all the time. The beer was SO cold, it's almost like they freeze the glass. I've never had beer so cold and now I wish all places served it like that. It's a neighborhood bar but I think a hidden little gem. Service was great. Food was great. Prices were good too. A stop worth making and I'll be back."

Bonchon

★★★★☆ 3.6 (47)

"Every time I come here, the food is phenomenal. All you need to do is order appetizers so you can have multiple things to eat from the food is so delicious."

D’s Smokehouse

★★★★☆ 4.3 (61)

"You guysssss! I have never, ever had brisket like this in my life. So tender, it basically melts in your mouth, but has this awesome charred outer texture. We stopped here on our way up north, and will definitely be back! Kudos to the chef, as all of our dishes were a 10/10. The baked beans were a really special treat."

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."

Russell’s

★★★★☆ 3.9 (14)

"I stopped into Russell's on a Friday night around 6:30 PM. It was my first visit, and I was excited to check out the vibe. The atmosphere is much different from the previous restaurant at this location, and I really appreciated the change!We didn't have reservations, and it was a busy night, so we grabbed three seats at the bar. The bartenders were fantastic--attentive and friendly.I ordered a burger and fries, and it was simple yet delicious in the best way. The fries were perfectly seasoned with something more unique than just salt, so much so that ketchup wasn't even necessary--they were amazing. Honestly, I could've gone for a second order. The burger was melt-in-your-mouth good and perfectly portioned--it left me feeling satisfied without being overly full or wanting more food.I'm already looking forward to returning to try the omelette on the menu and explore some of the cocktails.Oh, and here's a bonus: if you ask for a hot towel, they'll bring you a steaming, wonderfully refreshing towelette to clean your hands--an especially thoughtful touch on a cold January day.P.s. One of the people I was with ordered the salmon and when asked their feedback, they said "decent; I would order it again; A little bit expensive for the quality""

Bricksworth Beer Co

★★★★☆ 4.4 (140) • $$

"Fun brewery spot to watch some tv, eat some food, or get a drink!Has a great variety of drinks which includes beers, cocktails, mocktails, wine, and more. Always nice to have some variety so I definitely appreciated that.The food also seemed to be a hit and will 100% be trying that soon."

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!"

Bricksworth Beer Co

★★★★☆ 4.3 (70) • $$

"The BEST hidden gem spot in North Loop before Twins games, or really anytime in the area!PATIO:This patio is unbeatable! Tucked away in North Loop across from Graze, the patio had lots of high-tops and tables, and even some comfy patio furniture for seating. It's a beautiful outdoor spot right on the metro line with greenery around.INSIDE:There is a lot of seating inside for a cozy brewpub feel! They also have a private event space in the back available for event rentals.BEER:They've got a great lineup of brews from their brewery in Burnsville! As a GF gal I don't partake, but my partner is particular about beer and loves everything he has tried from them.FOOD:You seriously can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Their wings are insane - especially the Nashville hot and Cool Ranch Dorito ones. Their burger is delicious and their fries are perfection.Their Detroit style pizza slaps EVERY time - and I love that they offer a GF crust option and it's perfectly cooked! I love the Happiest Meal pizza that is a Big Mac style za. SERVICE:Service is always professional, friendly, and efficient here. Nothing but great experiences during our visits this summer!"

Chanticlear Pizza Grill

"Their food is amazing and their staff are all so nice! We love coming here for games and just to hangout with friends. Their meatball dip is the best on the menu!"

The Fort Restaurant & Bar

★★★★★ 4.6 (29)

"We were enjoying the country roads, in a vintage MGB today, and found this place. The tacos, burger and salad were great and beer selections were varied. The knowledgeable, friendly staff added to the 5 stars. We will return and encourage you to try it if you are in the area."

MoonShine Bar and Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (15) • $

"Legit delicious!! I file this under hole-in-the-wall or dive-bar - and those terms aren't derogatory in the least! This is on the edge of "the middle of nowhere" (unless of course you're one of the fine folks that lives nearby). But disregard all of that - the service and the FOOD were both top notch!Different daily specials every day (see the picture) and the regular menu is HUGE!Hubby had a Peanut Butter and Jalapeño Jam burger - big 1/2 pounder - with fresh fries. I thought the fries were a little soggy (literally the only negative) but they were deliciously seasoned. I had a shaved beef with Au Jus. Now I know that sounds dull but it wasn't! The roll was super-soft but lightly toasted with a buttery taste and the beef (I'm told by the VERY fabulous waitress) is sliced from their weekly prime-rib special. I had it with a slide of slaw and GOOD LORD they actually know how to make excellent slaw! Again - same fabulous waitress says that the dressing is house-made. It really, REALLY was good. Add three tap beers and our lunch was a sweet $33. I wish we had an easier more frequent reason to stop because the menu has me intrigued! I definitely recommend it!"

Jacque B's

★★★★☆ 4.2 (32) • $$

"Jacque B's always hits the mark - their food is so good & time and time again it's consistently good! Not sure there's a "dud" on the menu?! We are big fans of the Bloody Mary Pizza. The sauce has a bit of a kick to it, but it's not too spicy. And if that deters you, you might be able to ask for a modification to regular sauce. The staff are the kindest people around, so it certainly doesn't hurt to check! The shrimp on the pizza are so fresh - all bloody the flavors pair great together. And, during this restaurant closure their curbside process has been a breeze, making us realize even more how great of a takeout option Jacque B's is, too!"

JS Supper Club

★★★☆☆ 3 (7)

"This is a large club with one huge room and long tables, made for banquet or other type of gathering. The bar area is impressive with finished coated wood, (it looks real), and a separate long meeting bar across from the ordering bar, if that makes sense. The beer case is clearly visible to easily pick your brew, (no craft beers from what I could see), but everything else that has a name. Although I didn't have a mixed drink, others tell me they make a mean drink.This visit was a prearranged buffet so no menus or entrees. The serve yourself dinner has a large salad bar with your M.D.'s favorite colorful selections they always tell you about. More breads, cheese and cold cuts to complete the choices. End with about twelve types of their own fresh baked cookies."
