50 Best Chicken Wings in Chicago

“Great location to grab lunch. Solid variety of cocktails and beers to choose from. The short rib sandwich was absolutely perfect with a soft fresh bun and the perfect amount of onions and peppers. Great service, be sure to make a reservation in advance though (there is space to eat at the bar though).“

“I moved to Chicago in August of 2023 and kept walking past Willie’s and Waffles. I finally got food there today and I wish I hadn’t waited so long. Best chicken tenders I’ve had in a minute. All the food is cooked to order and the flavor combos are spot on.I’ll be back with friends for sure!“

“Unpopular opinion but not a fan of the chicken wings. They are too big and saucy. The bibimbap is a much better order here. It gets crowded and hard to find a place to sit and eat since it’s a small place. Also very loud to have conversation.“

“The food was absolutely amazing! It was so hard to choose what to get with such a big variety to choose from that all looked and sounded amazing!! We definitely had the wings that were soooo sooo delicious and some other stuff that also was amazing! Took about 40 minutes to get there but so worth the trip and will be a regular spot to visit! Can’t wait to come back!!!“

“For our last night in Chicago, we decided to hit a couple bars and we ended up here. It was such a cute place! The atmosphere is fun and friendly. We ordered some Korean popcorn chicken and a couple cocktails. The staff was super friendly and made us laugh a bunch. Karaoke was just kicking off when we were there--Josue did a great rendition of Beautiful Soul! Would definitely recommend for a great night out. I hope that we get a chance to come back.“

“Yowza! These are some of the best sandwiches ever! Just popped in here for the 1st time and loved what we ordered. Delish and a real value. The sandwiches are bigger than a plate. They were terrific. The next time I need a food for an open house for my real estate business, I am going to buy it from here. www.SarahRothschild.com“

“I came at a time where they weren’t taking anymore walk ins because it was very close to closing. I expressed how far I drove and how many times I attempted to call to place an order and they had the up most sympathy! They still took my order even tho they were about to close. THIS IS THE BEST LOCATION IVE EVER BEEN TO!!!!!! S/o to the store manager!“

“I liked the hamburgers, they are delicious, they cook them right away, the delicious onion rings give you a very delicious dip.Parking: The parking lot is large and if you don't want to eat at the tables you can eat in your car or inside.“

“First and foremost, the staff is hands down the best! Literally the friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered! And I’ve tried a few things on the menu and nothing has been a let down. Usually I regret straying from “the usual” but I never do here. The crab rangoon is the best I’ve ever had, the wings surprised me with how tasty and well cooked they were, the basil chicken egg rolls were bomb (so is the basil chicken over rice), and the Khao Soi is a best seller for a reason!“

“Food was really good, especially for a bar. Our bartender was also amazing and very attentive. I went to have drinks with an old friend and catch up, the music was loud enough to enjoy but still allowed me to hear my friend talking. Vibe was amazing. Would definitely go back.“

“Went to have lunch with my husband we got the meals with sides. Got chicken and waffles and side of tots, he got wings and bulgogi fries and one Thai tapioca tea. Over all it was delish. Food 8.5/10 Sauce 8/10 was flavorful but not spicy we got the Seoul spicy sauce they didn't have the bull sauce. The waffles are kinda small, it's two cut in half and each half was one bite. Ratio of waffles and chicken was not hitting. Service was eh, the nice cashier seemed new and asked us to repeat several times and or didn't know what was in the meal options. It was cold in the restaurant we dined in, hate being cold when eating. Personal preference. Would definitely go back. Wish there was an option to toss the chicken in sauce versus dipping.“

“Havent eaten here so cant comment on food (heard it is good though). If you like to play darts this is a great place to go. They sponsor a number of different teams and have a great back room dedicated to darts and a bi-weekly blind draw on Wednesdays. Everybody is friendly. Recommend checking it out! Good beer specials. Nice “

“Just went with my woman and didn't expect a whole lot because I had never been there. Wings were perfect, weren't over cooked or under cooked, but perfect. The Mango haberno had a perfect amount of sauce, I don't like mine drowned in sauce and the Lemon Pepper were on point as well. Restaurant was clean and employees friendly, I have to give it a 5. Thanks.“

“Love how calming and futuristic the placed looked. Didn’t have anywhere to eat though. The food was very delicious. I recommend to get the meal from take a bao eats and get the crispy spicy Aioli chicken bao was super good. As for the service, everything is digital all you have to do is wait for the food which isn’t long of a wait. A lot of different foods to order.“

“I went for my 44th birthday and everything was wonderful the food A+ and The service was delightful I would definitely be back….. We sat in and when I say we all enjoyed woke up the next day talking about themGo check them out 5 stars from meThanks again“

“I've been to Hangry's a few times and I love the food here, especially the Philly cheese. My only issue is the last 2 visits they messed up our orders. My sister buffalo salad but got buffalo tater tot instead. She also got a strawberry horchata slushy but received a regular horchata slushy. After ordering we didn't realize they didn't put in my brother in laws order in until a few minutes after eating he hasn't received anything. Lastly we asked for a side of cheese and sour cream and only got ?. A little disappointed in the service but the food is really good though.“

“Solid sports bar with an Irish twist, they've got darts, skeeball, and a few other games. Food is surprisingly good and the drink menu is solid.Layout wise it feels like they've got two bars with the center wall cut out. Makes for a lot of space and great throughput on drink service.Well worth your time if you're looking for a sports pub.“

“I never order brisket anywhere else because I know it won't be as good as Heffer BBQ's.I dream of their crunch wrap, burger, and smoked cheesecake. Don't skip the Kale salad... yes, I said the Kale salad. It's garlicky and delicious.Order anything. You won't be disappointed.They are located inside of The Plant, in the brewery. You order at the kiosk and find a seat/get a pager to grab the food when your order is up.There weren't any high chairs or booster seats, probably because it's in a brewery. I brought my own, and it was fine. It didn't feel inappropriate to have a kid (11 months old) there. He enjoyed the food, too!Wheelchair accessibility: There's an accessible ramp to get upstairs/ to the brewery.“

“This has been my go-to shop for broasted chicken. Quaint little hole-in-the-wall place for good quality, fresh food. I have not yet had any negative experiences with their chicken, apart from maybe the occasional soggy bits on the otherwise crispy skin, but that could be attributed to the chicken steaming inside of the box during the car ride home, so it is best eaten as quickly as can be devoured to experience max deliciousness and freshness. I have been ordering take-out from them for several years and hopefully will continue ordering from them for several more years to come.“

“A must goto place for the old Chicago experience! We go whenever we are in the area. This time was for my daughter doing the polar plunge for the first time! Lucky we have global warming!!! Anyway, we hard a large table of family and the waiter was fantastic ($100 tip!)!!! Food and specialty drinks were more than you can ask for! If your reading this... GO!!!“

“I’m a recent transplant from NC and sent my husband here because we are in the middle of moving and the last thing I wanted to do was cook. This food was AMAZING! I had the fish, Mac and cheese, collards, stuffing. The best fried fish I HAVE EVER HAD. It tasted home-made. Everything was fresh and good and I’d have taken a picture but I was too busy stuffing my face! My husband said the lady behind the counter was super sweet and offered suggestions and he (who does not eat fish!) ate half my fish!! The portions are HUGE for the price and I will be returning. Tomorrow probably.“

“Great customer service and the pizza quality was excellent and put together perfectly!Vegetarian options: I got the veggie pizza and perfect for Fridays during Lent. My mom would give me earful if I ate meat on Friday.Parking: This location has parking in front.“

“Found this place by default, visiting Chicago for work, and stumbled upon this gem. The owner was very welcoming and pleasant, had a smile to die for, you can tell it's her passion, and she care about customer service. I ordered the 3 piece fish dinner, and smdh, every bite was nothing but pleasure, the seasoning, I'm not sure what it is, made me want to jump out my darn car. Whatever yall doing, keep doing it, I have no complaints at all. Thank you! Tasha“

“Insane garlic and soy chicken. I recommend eating Korean fried chicken here with a large group of friends. Their menu is complete with staple comfort foods and drinks. The server didn't check in often, but it was very busy on a Saturday night so we didn't mind. Overall, it's a solid place with a woody, clean setting. Simple but delicious! -AT“

“I'm so glad G's is back open! The whole vibe of the place has changed. Make sure you stop by to see Esther on Wed or Fri. She makes the whole experience better! From having a expert knowledge of drinks to her warm and welcoming personality, she makes your night! It's a lively and colrful feel and the patio is out of this world!“

“Plenty of space. The online orders being picked up were ready as soon as everyone arrived. I placed a carry out order. I was given great customer service and experienced great hospitality by the host as I waited for the food. The food was fresh and everything I imagined.“

“Some of the best chicken ive had! The seasoning is amazing and the skin is super crispy - I do prefer the darker meat pieces since they are more juicier. Their pita is addicting too! Great sides. Highly recommend eating there as it is steaming hot! Friendly staff. Definitely not a fancy place but thats how you know the food is gonna be good!“

“Food was good but we drove a long way to eat there their seating inside is. Very limited. They had only like 10 tables for 2 that was disappointing and then their ice machine was broken for drinks. We did get one table in one room and the other couple we were with was in the other room.“

“The food is so delicious it hit the spot we are definitely coming back and it's every good size the French fries there so good we definitely coming back to Marco's restaurant we are in our last vacation and we wanted to try something new I really recommend to come this place“

“Bird’s Nest serves up the best wings in town! The staff is super chill and friendly, making you feel like you're just hanging out with friends. It's the kind of spot you'll wanna hit up whenever you're craving killer wings and good vibes.“

“House of Wings is a small take-out shop that you should certainly try if you're looking for some solid Buffalo wings. I ordered a small batch of the crispy wings with suicide level flavor. The owner warned me of their heat but still went ahead with them. Boy was I'm glad I did - they were certainly hot but not to the point that it too painful to consume. Not to mention good buffalo sauce flavor. Perhaps a little pricy ($20 with a soda) but I definitely enjoyed and will go back.“

“So before i called, i called to make sure there wasn’t a wait. I’ve been here before and the line is usually out the door. Once she told me no wait I got supper excited and came. Once i got here i literally had to wait an hour just to be seated. Then another hour for food. Something needs to change with the way they have guest waiting!“

“Can't complain when it comes to "hood" eats. Fried chicken w lemon pepper OR MY personal favorite #ChoppedChicken w lemon pepper salt mild sauce hot sauce AND cheese!!! (That's a chopped chicken w salt and pepper sauces on the side)“

“Great local spot for wings, pizza, beers, music & vibes. Staff it great. It does get pretty busy or packed some times so having patience is key if you are going in hangry. Overall a great selection if you want the neighborhood bar outing.“

“This place is awesome. Very unassuming, especially with nearby construction. However, the food was on point. I'll admit the service is different. We were seated quickly but then there was an extremely long time between that and having our order taken. But once our order was in, food came quickly. The dumplings were excellent. My bibimbap bowl was out of this world. My wife's garlic fried rice was very tasty. They were definitely busy but service was quick once it got going.“

“I’ve order several times before tonight, and it was always super delicious, on par with Harold’s. Tonight I ordered hotdogs and the order came wrong, they made a new order and delivered it in about 10 minutes. I cannot say enough good things about this place. And yes, the hotdogs are even amazing.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Rosati's Pizza, and I must say that Yesenia's outstanding service truly enhanced my experience. From her warm welcome to her attentive approach throughout the meal, Yesenia demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism and genuine care for customers. Her knowledge of the menu and recommendations were spot-on, contributing to a delightful dining experience. Yesenia's dedication to ensuring customer satisfaction deserves recognition, and I highly commend her for making my visit to Rosati's Pizza a memorable one.“

“This black family owned restaurant at 81st and Stony is GREAT! I had a cheeseburger w/everything and their freshly cut fries that hit the spot after a long day in Chi traffic. Be sure to get their special BBQ sauce. I put it on my cheeseburger and it made it perfect. They have veg./vegan and beyond meat options on the menu. Everything is so fresh! They have a parking lot too!Parking: The paved and fenced parking lot is right adjacent to the restaurant entrance.“

“Tried the Oak Park location on a Wednesday night. It was FANTASTIC! I got a pound of Alaskan King crab legs, and while they didn’t come with crab crackers, we only had a little trouble breaking the meat out. Phenomenal crab legs. They came with perfectly seasoned red potatoes and corn on the cob. My partner ordered (fried) shrimp tacos and could not stop raving about them. The shrimp was very fresh. We also ordered fresh cut fries and they were outstanding, though they could use a bit more seasoning. But extra seasoning was brought upon request. The owner, Shawn, brought out the food, was attentive to our needs, and even struck up a friendly conversation as we left. Fantastic decor/theme, friendly staff and exceptional service! 10/10, and we will definitely be back. Thank you for a great dinner! Two dinners, since I had leftovers!“

“Heinie's is a culinary delight that should not be missed. Whether you're a fan of flavorful chicken or a lover of spicy sauces, this place has something for everyone. With top-notch food, friendly service, and an inviting ambiance, Heinie's is a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts looking to tantalize their taste buds.“

“Great place as a fresh option to all the other restaurants. I had a fabulous catfish sandwich. Fried but not greasy at all, felt fresh and tasty. The cabbage salad was out of this world. Very well prepared, like great asian restaurants do. The mild sauce for the nuggets was spectacular, perfect balance. The fries where great as well, tasty and fresh. What a choice, great option for a quick, affordable, clean, delicious bite!“

“WOW!!!! I had the loaded fries with ground turkey meat & Italian ice and it was sooooooo good. Mimi & Jamel were very nice and welcoming my food come out hot and ready. I’ll be back for sure I’m so happy I found a black owned spot that makes my fav comfort food. You will not be disappointed in the food or service.“

“This place is amazing! The food is delicious! considering it’s “bar food”. I’ve had the wings, the cheese curds, Cajun fries, pizza, and my son loves the burgers! Rudy makes the most amazing margaritas! He is one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had. He’s friendly and gives GREAT service. I stop by for brunch every chance I get and have friends/ family meet me there whenever possible. Chill spot that even my son loves! He loves burgers and loves the kiddie cocktails Rudy makes. I recommend 100%“

“Omg I give this restaurant ten stars!!!!! The food was DELICIOUS ? The customer service was great and the atmosphere was great ? and The prices was not bad at all ✅✅ I also got a chance to meet the owner he was a really nice young man I was pleased to meet him he also had some really really nice Artifacts along the wall I was amazed..There is also a section in the restaurant where u and a few friends can social distance and sit down and eat ur food with a tv in the sectioned off room and game slots ✅ Me and My Family will definitely be supporting this business again I’ll probably never order fish from any other restaurant again other then this one ✅✅✅✅✅“

“I was hungry for lunch and i came across this place and wow, i got a huge surprise. Philly beef sandwiches are delicious!! Especially the bread and cheese flavor!The girl on the bar was also so friendly and pleasant to talk with!I’m from Argentina and had no idea about this “philly” sandwich but i can’t wait to come back now.“

“Absolutely amazing Honey BBQ wings!!! 10 ⭐️ Stars all the way! Owner was super nice, we talked about real cheese vs what most places use, “cheese”... I tried the pizza, and it’s Phenomenal!! Go to Halal inn, because they care about the ingredients they make your food from!“

“Came here to celebrate my friend passing his finals Lol. Really chill place overall ! We got to catch up on a lot of things. The only reason why im not giving it 5/5 was because the food took a little long to come out. Overall it was all good, especially the drinks they had ! Thanks guys !“

“Extremely frustrated! I feel like I wasted my money. Instead of the small end I ordered, I received a center cut, which I do not enjoy. The meat was thick and tough, not what I expected. I'm curious about the return policy—is there a way to exchange it? If it wasn't already late on a Thursday night and if I lived closer, I'd consider taking it back. Lesson learned: always check your food before leaving.“

“Spacious but needs more lighting to brighten it up some. Sports Bar vibe. The Elote dip is good. I tried the Honey Jalapeño Wings…pretty tasty and not overly spicy. My group was not satisfied with their drinks, so it takes them down a notch.“

“Ok I was reticent about trying it for food but that groupon was calling my name. The ambiance is great for sports fans. Just went for food. I'll use a sports metaphor: my food was a grand slam. I had the chicken tenders and also the chicken quesadillas. JESUS good !! Got them for takeout. Already want to do it again. Score !!“
