50 Best Chicken Wings in Washington

“The crispy mushroom sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever. So crispy and full of flavor. Mac n cheese was pretty top shelf as well. Fast and friendly service.“

“Enjoyed my meal tonight. Friendly and superb service from David!“

“Very good. And I will be returning“

“Every bite, Always right! I appreciate your drivers and will tip them.“

“We love Washington DC so my wife and I wanted some pizza. We were staying at the Embassy suites in NW so I googled pizza that was close by. Pizzoli‘s pizzeria came up. It looked good so we took an Uber there and the pizza was excellent. We ordered a simple pepperoni pizza and my wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. Made from scratch good. We were a little bit surprised in that it was a smaller establishment as we thought we were going to a place that had lots of tables, etc. This place has one inside table and five or six countertops to eat at and then they have several tables outside but as noted, the food was fantastic. Would certainly recommended, and we will be back home future visits.“

“Solace and beer. Yes!!!!!“

“The pizza sauce is superior and the meat is pork-free, for those who have dietary restrictions. I haven't ordered anything I didn't like. Even the banana pudding was good.“

“When I tell you that’s I’ve been looking for some good authentic bbq, I have! And, I’ve been disappointed up until now. I decided to give DCity Smokehouse a try. I got the smoked wings, ribs, and collards. The meats has a nice REAL smoked flavor, seasoned to perfection, and the collards were on point. I look forward to trying more food items from the menu. I highly recommend!“

“Takoma Station Tavern is a true neighborhood favorite with an energetic vibe, great music, and a welcoming crowd that makes every visit fun. The live performances create an amazing atmosphere, and the staff keeps everything running smoothly with friendly service. Drinks are well-made, food is satisfying, and the overall experience feels lively and memorable. Perfect place for a night out with friends, good vibes, and great entertainment. Definitely a 5-star spot in DC!“

“We had a wonderful experience at the cafe. The food was delicious! The service was amazing! The staff were both friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the Fried chicken sandwich, and the fried chicken Caesar wrap. We will definitely return.“

“I got the spicy chicken sandwich with no pickles, baked Mac and cheese with the banana pudding for dessert. The sandwich with the red sauce 8.8/10 nice healthy pieces of chicken, the Mac and cheese 9.2/10 the top was nice and crispy and the cheese was super creamy. Now the Banana pudding 9.8/10 nice thick pudding not watery at all the wafers were perfect bringing my total score to 27.8/30. the portions are well balanced!! Yeah I plan on returning to try 3 more random items from the menu“

“Ledo has the best pizza, subs, and wings and the best staff in DC. They also have a great catering menu for events small and large. Great, fresh food, well prepared.“

“Excellent, efficient and clean establishment. Food was ready when I walked in to pick it up at 10-15 min after I placed the order. The Tejas BBQ brisket taste was fantastic. The SriPraPhai drunken noodles with tofu was so-so. Its taste profile was more like Pad Thai than drunken noodles I have had from prior restaurants, so would not get this again. The taste wasn't bad, but not what I expected. Overall, I would still return and try this food concept chain again (similar to a food court in a mall with many restaurant options but with a small pick up window and assembly room in the back).“

“Great wings! We turned around after passing the location and ordered the soy garlic wings… they were amazing, fresh, and clearly made to order! Fries were good too, not greasy either. Price is in line with wing places nowadays. Will return!

No place for dine in, carry out only.“

“I ordered the Thai Fried Rice with beef and a Harney & Sons lemonade. The menu was easy to follow with lots of variety. The food was surprisingly good - right amount of spices and beef. Some of the beef was cut thick and little tough, but very well seasoned. Overall I enjoyed the meal, the quick service, the atmosphere, the historical context of the WONDER design by Ramono.“

“I haven't been inside since the H Ledo re-opened. My grandson usually does pickup for me. I can say that since the re-opening their previously good pizza is now excellent. The two I bought
a few days ago made me want to turn around and get another immediately.“

“10/10 experience at Wingos in Georgetown! We stopped in well after 1 a.m. and everything was still fresh, hot, flavorful, and made with care. We ordered the 8-piece wing combo with two different flavors, seasoned fries, and a drink, and everything was delicious.

OB, the owner, gave phenomenal service and really knew the menu inside and out—from the specials to the flavor options and recommendations. DJ, the cook, even hand-delivered our food, which made the experience feel extra personal and welcoming.

The wings were perfectly seasoned, the fries were excellent, the portions were satisfying, and the customer service was top-tier from start to finish. Great food, great energy, and even better hospitality.

Definitely a Georgetown late-night gem. We will absolutely be back!“

“I spent a semester studying abroad and missed food from back home. I tried their biryani and couldn’t stop having it every weekend for the next 6 months. The chicken biryani medium spice is the best biryani I’ve ever had from any restaurant!! It’s the one thing I miss about being in DC“

“the best wings in the dmv“

“You are treated like a King. The food is Delicious!!!“

“Fahim was very polite and professional as he took my order. It was a hot day and eating in the restaurant gave me a very chill lunch/dinner break. The mozzarella sticks were delicious (as always) and I appreciated the clear passion of those who work here, leading me to leave this review. There was also street parking, which you can’t always find in DC. Highly recommend!!“

“My new neighborhood go to place for Chinese food. I've been looking for a place since Tsim Yung closed on 12th Street a while back. I'm not a Chinese food connoisseur but this meets my test for good weekend comfort food with reasonable prices and good portions. Location is sketchy but the kitchen area looks remarkable clean and open for a fast food joint. Ordered pork fried rice twice and added Szechuan Beef on the second trip. They didn't disappoint. Would definitely recommend. Staff is friendly and efficient.“

“It’s a cool bar with tons of indoor and outdoor seating. Service is great. Only complaint is how hot it gets in there, especially the second floor. Not sure if the ac is broken but the past few times I’ve been there, the upstairs was unbearably hot. Great place to pregame before a show at The Anthem!“

“Big Mike’s Karaoke and what wings!!!!“

“Hands down the best wings I've ever had. They were perfectly cooked with an incredible crunch on the outside while staying tender, juicy, and full of flavor on the inside. Every bite had the ideal balance of texture and taste, making it hard to stop eating them. You can tell care went into the preparation because they were neither dry nor greasy—just right. If you're a wing fan, these are absolutely worth trying. They set a new standard for what great wings should be. 🔥🍗“

“Let me tell you, when I think of eating something gooood & w/ good service, Bird’s Kitchen is who come to mind 1st. She maintains a clean & sanitized restaurant, cooks her food with love & she always provides service w/ a smile! I am definitely a customer for life🖤“

“I grew up on Detroit style pizza being from Detroit area. I can say over the past few years Detroit style pizza has become popular. I have never had a pizza as good as this Detroit style pizza. The best, give it a try.“

“The food here was absolutely amazing.They had so many different options the chicken is, especially the best.It's pretty juicy chicken, with extremely crunchy.Outside the flavor is amazing.I'd recommend going a little bit harder than you think.It is the location is spectacular, as it's literally inside of a shopping center.They have super kind staff, and I truly mean it.I ask them for extra crunchy, and they with a smile made it.Which is such a kind gesture?I'm so thrilled by this amazing place.This i'm definitely coming back when I come to d c the next time.Love this place.And here's a photo of my sandwich or the nuggets“

This is the best Popeye’s in DC. If I want Popeye’s, I’m driving all the way from Oxon Hill to MLK!“

“Muy rico 😋 el pollo Popeyes“

“Great bar , super perk for this Hampton Inn/Navy Yard!“

“The best fried chicken ever, just like the kind I remember from my hometown. The food is delicious, reasonably priced, and the staff are incredibly kind and friendly. A great choice for any meal. I’ll definitely be trying their delivery next time!“

“i love this place, service is good“

“When I tell you that’s I’ve been looking for some good authentic bbq, I have! And, I’ve been disappointed up until now. I decided to give DCity Smokehouse a try. I got the smoked wings, ribs, and collards. The meats has a nice REAL smoked flavor, seasoned to perfection, and the collards were on point. I look forward to trying more food items from the menu. I highly recommend!“

“I visited this place awhile ago and there is something very special about this place. i had catfish with fries and it was very fresh and not greasy at all. I had a brief conversation with owner and i was told they used very high level oil to fry the food. They definitely care about the quality of the food more than anything. I will definitely visit this place again.“

“Food is really good and flavorful, my only problem was the customer service. There was an employee eating when i came in and she was smoking hookah as i waited for my food to be finish. Other than that, this place is underrated and deserves its praise but you guys need to fix Customer Service because that can drive customers away“

“this is the best carryout chicken and the shrimp are great as well.“

“good food fast service. the spicy chicken was good.“

“Had such an amazing night at Tipsy Lounge! 🥂✨ The service was absolutely amazing, the staff were so friendly and attentive, and the whole atmosphere was perfect. Definitely a great place to relax, have fun, and enjoy the night. I’ll definitely be coming back! ❤🔥“

“Nice experience very friendly atmosphere Fresh cooked chicken tenders“

“The new owners are very pleasant and provided excellent customer condition of the facility. My only gripe is with the
exterior and lobby. Both front glass doors are cracked and have been for a little while and the lobby could use a facelift.“

“My family has been ordering from Simon's since they opened. They have always been kind and we have watched each other's families grow over the years. Their food is good especially if you are a steak and cheese lover! Make sure you get a jumbo mix to wash down all that good food!“

“Ivy City Food Hall is the ultimate foodie playground!! With its vibrant vibe and eclectic mix of food vendors, it’s like a passport to flavor town without leaving D.C. From sizzling tacos to gourmet sliders, every bite is worth it. Whether you’re there for a quick bite or an all-out feast, Ivy City Food Hall is a great go to spot with many options.

“Some of the negative reviews on here are bananas. The pizza is super consistent. Really really good for DC. The family that owns it is lovely. Don't listen to the noise. I am in the industry and this place is legit. I have eaten here more than 100 times living in this neighborhood“

“This carry-out place is called Hong Kong. The food is really good. Every time I go, they treat you well. The staff is very attentive, and the food is super tasty. I always order shrimp with broccoli, and it’s incredibly flavorful. They are also quick; your food is ready in a maximum of 10 minutes. The location is convenient, and I recommend this place to everyone who visits.”“

“Really enjoyed my experience here! The food is genuinely good, and I noticed there weren't many menu photos on Google, so I took a bunch in hopes that it helps future customers decide what to order.

So far, my favorites have been the spare ribs and the combination fried rice. The beef and broccoli was also very flavorful, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the crab cake. Everything I've had has been tasty, and that's honestly the most important thing when I'm picking a spot to eat.

The restaurant itself is clean, conveniently located, and has been around for a long time. The staff were kind and professional, and I had a pleasant experience overall.

Honestly, I'm here for the food, and the food delivered (I ate). If you're in the area, give this local small business a try and support them. Good food, fair prices, and a neighborhood spot that's been serving the community for years.

FYI: it's cheaper on your wallet if you pay in cash.“

“Good fried fish. The desserts are also good.“
