The Best Chicken Wings in Tampa

Wing Box

★★★★☆ 4.1 (38) • $

"I was really excited about Wings today, so you can imagine my disappointment when I received overcooked, extremely salty , baby wings. 8 of them for 8.50 , 9.00 with tip. They were ready 43 seconds after I ordered them which also means they were not hot or fresh. The Ranch dressing looked like it had been partially used so I did not have any dipping sauce. I will not order from here again."

Krispy Krunchy Chicken

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (3)

"It's a Louisiana based fried chicken chain found mostly in convenience stores and gas stations. The Krispy Krunchy Chicken sign at the Lithia Food Mart always looks so enticing. I've passed by it so many times over the years. But it wasn't until recently that I decided to try it after seeing many reviews from Yelp friends at other locations. I don't really know much about this location. All I know is that they are closed on Sundays. I attempted to go there twice in 2 days. That's my bad for not checking the hours of operation.Anyway, I walked in on a Monday to fresh chicken and honey biscuits. Their online menu appears to have more items than what they have on a given day. Be mindful of that when ordering online. I'm glad I visited in person just to see what was available. It was an easy decision. I selected the 2 piece white meat (breast and a wing) chicken that comes with a honey biscuit. They put both of our orders in one box. It was still hot when I got home. The breast meat was actually the best part. It was juicy and tender inside, with a mild taste of Cajun marinade. The outer breading on the skin was crispy and crunchy. There was no kick of spice (like Popeyes), but it was still very tasty with whatever blend of seasonings that they use. They may have spicier options. I didn't really ask. My husband said that the Publix chicken is better. Maybe it is, but I'm actually sick of eating Publix chicken and needed a change of pace. The breading and the spices are different enough from other fast food chains. This was a welcomed change. So much so, that I will be going back for more. If anything, I'll go back for the biscuits. They were also kind of crunchy, but not in a dry way. I can't explain it. I love that I could taste the butter with the sweet honey glaze. Hey, it was different! I'm also hoping to try the blueberry biscuits the next time they have them available. I see that they also have fried shrimp and chicken tenders. I'll update the review once I try more items. I'm actually happy that there is a location nearby. It gives me more options for fried chicken. It's in a Food Mart that also appears to be clean, and the service was quick. I'm not sure why I didn't try it sooner."

Tasty Shop

★★★★☆ 3.9 (11)

"Ommmmmmg if slap yo mama and call me a chicken lover was a person it'll be me! These wings are so meaty, flavorful, and juicy. It literally felt like an orgasm in my mouth.I learned about this spot thanks to an friend of mine so I made it my mission to give them a try. It's in the same plaza as DD's discount off of Hillsborough. What I truly loved about them is that the wings are naked, not breaded. So for my keto or low carb folks this is a guilt free meal for sure. I ordered hot , although, there's a million flavors to choose from.While you can find pricing online, they have daily specials upon arrival. So that's a perk for sure! Also after you order you can hang out inside until your food is ready as it's kind of a mini convenience store. Think one stop shop and that's exactly what they are at tasty's!I promise you that you will not want to return to your previous wing spot. I promise you that you will crave think of these wings daily. I promise you that you will not be disappointed.Now I cannot speak for the other food items but those naked wings are the truth!"

"Food is great . We had Fried Pickles to share! Sue had a salad with Grilled Chicken of course!! I had the cheeseburger with fries to share! You can find the game you want on the many tv's and so a great place to eat and watch the game!!!"

Kay's Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.8 (13)

"Hands down?Ah-May-Zing tasting fried whole chicken wings. I am from Chicago and I know good food. Unfortunately, it's very hard to find that in the south, yet Kay's seems to have real Chicago cooks working for them or at least familiar with our recipes in frying good chicken. What topped it off well is that powdery substance (loved it)! Also, the sauce is bussin'. My family had shrimp and fries and they ate every bite as well with fingers licked off an Uber eats order lmao. Thank God we've found this place because we order food a lot. We give it 5/5 stars here!"

American Pizza Oven

★★★★★ 4.5 (35)

"Visited today, loved it! Very friendly staff, great service, clean and spacious place as well!They have pizzas, burger, fries, subs, salads, appetizers. We got the large veggie pizza, cheesy bread, garlic parm and honey sriracha dipping sauces and raspberry cheese cake chimis. Everything was delicious. Great portions, would definitely recommend!"

Brenda's Wings & Things

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Long time customer of Brenda's Wings & Things. Sad that she moved from Polk Street, went there almost daily. Trying to get my schedule around when I can go back to Brenda's myself, until then will have a friend run for me. I miss my crispy chicken garden salad with the works, my cheeseburger with mustard, onions, and mayo, and the most amazing French fries in Polk County. Every time I drive by on the weekend, I pray you are open but if I don't' see your blue car or yellow SUV, I get a little sad. I am sure you know who this is, but just in case, you called me the "mouth" LoL. Miss you here in Bartow Brenda. Hope to get by to see you myself soon. I personally give you 100 out of 5 stars."

Craft Fry Wing

★★★★☆ 4.4 (67) • $$

"Delicious Fried Rice, closest to NY Chinese food and they had that bomb ice tea.you know the one . I ordered the garlic Parmesan wings, which was seasoned to perfection. Most satisfied and somewhat impressed. Will definitely go back and looking forward to exploring the menu."

Hangry Joe’s

★★★★☆ 4.4 (21)

"The staff at the register was very friendly, and my husband, a chicken finger fan, was excited to try this spot. I ordered the Sando combo with waffle fries (medium spice). The fries were fresh, crispy, and well-seasoned, but the dry rub on the sandwich wasn't evenly distributed, making the spice level inconsistent. Despite that, I enjoyed the meal and finished it in one sitting, which is rare for me!My husband had the chicken finger combo with waffle fries but found the medium spice too hot for his taste, while I thought it was just right and could've handled the "hot" level. He also noted the uneven seasoning on his meal.What stood out most was how affordable everything was. The restaurant was clean and had a great aesthetic. Overall, I'd come back and hope for a better experience next time--it might've just been an off day."

Philly Steak & Wing - Lakeland

★★★★☆ 4.4 (90) • $

"Really great little restaurant... it is order at the counter but the place is quite cute and clean inside and there are plenty of tables to sit and enjoy the meal.Prices are quite amazing for this time. They have daily lunch specials which include fries and a drink for way way less than anywhere without screwing up the food quality.The French fries are freaking delightful. I'm not a huge fry fan but I do love theirs.We have tried the lamb gyro and enjoyed it greatly.The people who work here are great, will carry food to table if needed. Very sweet.All around this is a great little restaurant. I can't wait to go back for their wings!"

Villa Italia Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4.4 (86)

"We came to Largo visiting for the holiday weekend and found this little gem the night we arrived. We were immediately greeted by the owner as we walked in. She was so friendly and inviting it was as if we were family being invited into her home. She was so accommodating and happy to serve our party of five. The pizza was delicious too! Then she offered to cook up some fresh zappoli for dessert and we couldn't resist. Everything about this place from the ambiance, to the service, to the food was top notch! We will definitely be back on our next visit!"

Local Bite Scratch Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (8)

"Had a very nice lunch here shortly after their grand opening. All the food was very good- I had the roasted chicken and hummus wrap which was very tasty- very fresh. I also tried my wife's quesadillas which were excellent. And we split some French fries which for $4 was plenty for two people and possibly the best most crispy fries I've ever had. Prices were reasonable- service was good- highly recommended!"

Little Italian Pizza

★★★★★ 4.7 (32)

"We only live a few blocks away and this place has changed so many hands it's almost unfathomable. A group of six of us stopped in on Friday night and were amazed at how different the place felt. Same decor, same tables but, it definitely had a positive upbeat atmosphere, it hasn't had in several years. We met the current owner who stopped by each table checking in and making sure patrons were satisfied. Our server was sharp, he knew the menu well, he knew what the ingredients were and he knew how things were prepared. We were a bit concerned when he took our orders because he didn't write anything down but, everything came out perfectly. He checked on us several times and made sure we had everything we needed.Our food was absolutely, spot on delicious.Sandwiches were large and filling and expertly prepared as though some little grandma was preparing them. The dinners were large and well seasoned, needing a box for leftovers. The pizza was the star of the show, thin, crispy crust with toppings edge to edge and flavor that was as robust as anything in Chicago. The sausage had that scrumptious fennel taste that distinguishes it from any other place in the country that, and the fact it's cut into squares. Having lived in Chicago over 20 years, it was an awesome experience when requesting the gahlick and the 'regano and it came out in shakers. That really seals the deal!! The only thing missing from this place compared to those in Chicago was the addition of ordering homemade creamy garlic salad dressing on the salad.All in all, this place is top notch, give it a try and tell Joe, Jack sent ya!!"

Selfie Subs

★★★★★ 4.5 (117) • $

"Food is just as good as I remember when we lived in NJ where my husband was stationed for the Air Force. I ordered their onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and a steak and cheese with the works. Definitely will be back. This will be my go to for steak and cheeses. Friendly service and knowledgeable."

Kickin Wingz

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (150) • $$

"Hadn't been here in forever. I used to get delivery years and years ago (before grub hub or Uber was a thing). Reading reviews I have been slightly hesitant to try it again. In the past delivery driver was rude but wings were good. Fast forward:Inside wasn't terrible. Sports bar vibe. Sorta busy. Waitress was nice. Wings... they looked great. The sauce was hot (wild). Flavor? Eh, they weren't terrible but they weren't great. Not sure what it was about it but there was more heat than flavor. The cool on the wings was ok. Fries.... Wow these were terrible. Actually, the flavor was great, the fact that they were crazy soggy, greasy and undercooked was the problem. Too bad because I remember when this place was just a food truck before the original location near US19 and the wings were phenomenal. Not anymore. Three stars because service was way better than the reviews had suggested."

Dickey's Barbecue Pit

★★★☆☆ 3 (2)

"I ordered Dickey's to go for dinner because I was having a barbecue craving and it hit the spot! I ordered the sliced brisket with spicy barbecue sauce. The brisket was tender and juicy. They didn't shy away from adding some fatty bits and that was the best. The spicy barbecue is not spicy but complimented the meet well. I got the one meat plate that came with a roll, two sides, and your choice of onions or pickles. I got the pickles and chose the Cesar salad and mac n cheese. These individual sizes were enough and I decided to try the potato salad too. All the sides were good. I also got the brownie/cookie dessert and it was good! I enjoyed my Dickey's meal."

Tasty Wings and Ramen

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Ramen is great! This was the second visit to this place. I tried the pork chashu with spicey tongkotsu broth this time. The broth was spicey but not overwhelming. The service was great and the atmosphere is typical for a strip mall restaurant but modern and clean. My wife got the same thing but without the spicey and she loved it."

Mammá Mia Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.3 (22)

"The food is fantastic! The antipasto was delicious fresh greens and tasty dressing. We had the Marguerita pizza as well as the meat lovers.

The Fat Rabbit Pub

★★★★☆ 4.4 (434) • $$

"Very pleasant experience, thank you YELP!!We were greeted immediately and sat right away, surprisingly since it was about 8:30pm. Was a little loud but definitely not annoying. Best part, was the unexpected live tv coverage of a baseball game I wanted to see.I asked our server what food items that they're known for and she responded Wings and burgers...so that's what we ordered.As an appetizer, We ordered a 10 pc Sriracha dry rub wings and they were EXCELLENT!!We then ordered 2 burgers and a basket of tots.We ordered our burgers Medium, which should be a hot pink, but we got well done-see picture. Also, our tots came out warm and when I told our server, she took them back and brought back a basket of hot ones (I am not 100% sure if they were the original tots that we were served and they were reheated or if they were fresh ones?)Overall, service was great, ambience was fun and the food was good."

Peppajak

★★★★☆ 4.3 (53)

"So excited to see that they now serve breakfast!! One of my favorite lunch spots so I knew I had to try it. I got the breakfast bowl that had diced potatoes, onions & green peppers with eggs, cheese and applewood chicken sausage on top and it was delicious, I LOVED it. So much flavor, seasoned perfectly & the staff there are always awesome. Have to try their steak breakfast wrap next! PS if you haven't tried their hot honey wings or philly, must try!!"

Wing King

★★★★☆ 3.9 (57) • $$

"A solid wing spot with quality food and good service.I order the five piece wings combo which comes with a drink and fries. They have a large variety of wing sauce flavors. The first one that drew my attention was the spicy garlic honey BBQ but I was advised against that flavor (by a Yelp review), so I went with the spicy honey BBQ. The sauce was nice and the wings came with a good amount (it was a thin sauce not very thick). The wings themselves were a good size in the skin had a nice crisp to it. The fries were crisp, well done and nicely seasoned; the type of fries that I would go back and just order without the wings (fries fanatic here!).I came on a holiday weekday, when I got in line there were two people in front of me but it still didn't take long for my order to come out. This establishment does not have a sit-down area, just an order window. The lady at the front counter was friendly informative and very helpful.If you're craving wings I would definitely recommend this spot. It's a local-owned business, if you go out and support them I promise you would be doing yourself more of a favor than them."

Henderson's Bar & Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.9 (54)

"It's super loud on Cowboy football days but the service and food (chicken) has been spot on each time. We've visited about four times, each time with other people and kids. Each time we've all agreed the service and food were good."

Top Shelf Sports Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.4 (53)

"We were here on a Monday during happy hour and got some excellent deals. All starters were 25% off, well drinks were $5, wine was $2 off each glass. My husband was ordering double rum and Diet Coke for $6.50 each. I found another deal through an app called inKind. As part of a black Friday deal, I was able to purchase $140 of credits for $100. The app also had a deal that your first purchase of over $50 would receive a $25 discount. You can't pay the tip through the credits, but you have a credit card on file in the app that tips are charged to We were struggling to get $50 of food/drinks with the specials the restaurant had running. When the bill comes you open the inKind app and enter the check number the server can give you. Apparently it's paid through the app using Toast. Everything worked great. The restaurant had multiple TVs playing sports and a bar area. The table we sat at didn't have comfortable chairs but we weren't planning to stay long. If you plan to stay for an entire game, look for more comfortable chairs or maybe sit at the bar. The bathroom was clean but small. They likely get lines when it's busy. This is an easy walk from the Tampa Riverwalk. Our server was fast and checked on us a few times. There was not that many people there."

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (26)

"Don't we all love some good fried chicken?? Popeyes has always been my favorite fast food chain fried chicken spot! Drive thru service was quick and CS was food. The ghost pepper wings had good flavor but may have been sitting before served. They were a tad too soggy for me."
