24 Best Chicken Wings in Lexington

“The best customer service! Q is amazing and was so helpful getting our big family order.“

“The owner/manager was so welcoming and friendly! We had never been in before, and he gave us the story about how the place started. He also brought out additional sauce because he thought the wings didn’t look saucy enough (but trust me, they were!). He made sure everything was great- and it truly was. The chicken quality is great which isn’t always the case with wing places, and the food never disappoints. I also love how they have the sauce bar so you can try out the sauces before committing to one. Don’t know how we waited so long to try them, but don’t make the same mistake as us. Go give them a shot!“

“Finally had my chance to try Wing Stop, now I understand why it is so popular... Food was great, some of the best chicken in town, and the service was exceptional. I had the pleasure of being helped by Rahul. He helped made some great recommendations, and very knowledgeable of the menu. Will definitely be back!!“

“Wingstop is definitely a great spot if you’re craving some flavorful wings! The food is consistently delicious—the wings are well-seasoned, cooked just right, and there are plenty of sauce options to choose from. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and satisfying.

The only downside is that there isn’t a lot of space to dine in, so it can feel a bit cramped if you’re planning to eat there. It’s probably a better spot for takeout than for sitting down and hanging out.

Aside from that, everything else is great. The service is solid, the food comes out quickly, and the overall experience is enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend Wingstop, especially if you’re grabbing food to go!“

“I go to Roosters often; I have great times there, from the good food to the great atmosphere. The wooden booths, quirky signs, and numerous TVs make it a great place for people to relax and have a good time. A good way to pass the time while I’m waiting for my food is to watch a football game or play the occasional trivia they have on sometimes. On my last visit, I came with my friend and boyfriend, and we had a great time eating a variety of food and being served by an excellent waiter who was friendly and efficient. When it comes to our food, Roosters never goes wrong with their curly fries and boneless wings. The wings were perfectly crisp, and the hot sauce is always top tier. The atmosphere is what brings it all together, from groups to families and friends to people just sitting at the bar. It is always cheerful and full of life every time I come here. I would say that Roosters delivers a perfect balance of good food and fun, and it's always a pleasure to go, so I plan to keep coming back many times after.“

“Thank you Kevin for bringing our town Chicago to KY. Missed our food so much.“

“My husband got the catfish w/Mac and cheese and Green beans...he was over the moon.. The food was FANTASTIC!!! He raved all night. I got the jumbo wings with the same sides. Lord how mercy the food was delightful. My son got a 20 piece buffalo sauce wing meal and French fries. He wanted it again today!!! The vanilla rum cake and strawberry cake was smack yo momma good. You definitely need to try thus place out.“

“I have been on a crab kick lately so we tried Shaking Seafood and Wings tonight for the first time. It was phenomenal! The seafood (snow crab, head on shrimp, headless shrimp, crawfish) was all cooked perfectly and the crab legs were HUGE. Nothing was overcooked or rubbery and the sauce is delicious. The crawfish were really good and clean, too, and not tough even though I’m sure they had to have been frozen. The restaurant is very clean, everyone is friendly and service is fast and friendly. We will definitely return. Thank you for a great meal!“

“I had a great experience at the Richmond Road (Lexington) location on February 20, 2026. A big part of that was thanks to the server, Rachel B. She greeted me with genuine warmth and positive energy that immediately made me feel welcome. Throughout the meal, she was attentive in the best way—checking in thoughtfully, answering questions with patience, and making sure everything was just right. I especially appreciated how valued she made me feel. Great food matters, but service like this is what truly makes a restaurant stand out. Rachel’s professionalism and kindness made the visit memorable. I’ll definitely be back!“

“This place has good food and drinks and fun atmosphere but the only thing I would change is for the servers to stop making us feel rushed. They keep asking every couple of minutes if “you’re done with that” and then just eventually take the things anyways. Other than that this place is great.“

“Came here with husband after a failed dinner at Malones. Honestly? The lady who took our order was so sweet, the prices are reasonable, the food came out fast, and they were some of the best tacos we’ve ever had? Like? Shoutout to the amazing team here!“

“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!“

“MBT is steps away from the Staybridge Suites of South Lexington - seemed like a good place to try. Food - pretzel and beer cheese appetizer, KY Bourbon Burger Bowl with BBQ mayo, and boneless wings were all good. Food came out quick and hot. So many adult beverages on tap to choose from... but CiderBoys Caramel Apple was as good as sounds (and smells). Our server Catherine A. was sweet and personable. She answered our questions about MBT, UK football parking, and the area. She offered a number of food options when asked for her recommendation with a smile and genuine opinion. We were able to purchase growlers of the cider and found out they will fill growlers if you bring your own. Already considering going back to MBT for lunch tomorrow!“

“Food is very hot! The sauce selection is almost impossible to choose from. The dessert jars hit every time and i felt comfortable with my children running around at times. The staff was exceptionally kid friendly. We will be back.“

“I am writing to commend your employee, Matthew, at your 2305 Sir Barton Way location in Lexington, KY. He was so pleasant and cheerful, despite being the ONLY employee in the building during a lunch rush. Greeting customers, taking orders, cooking, and delivering food to tables with a smile. Like the rest of the world, Joella’s is short staffed, and that’s understandable. But I hope that the people who make the decisions are able to give this sweet man a raise or bonus or BOTH! Thank you Matthew for the excellent service! Kassie and Joel Durham“

“Great new York style pizza! crumbled sausage was fantastic. Will be back for sure.“

“visited your place on my way north. friendly people and a great atmosphere. live music at 7 was a treat.“

“Boy these the best wings in Lexington KY“

“Ordered a blackened quesadilla and 8 piece original wings...it was hot and delicious...the delivery took 15 min longer then posted, no problem, I go 2 sauces one was right one was not but no worries it all got used...the quesadilla is so good but they used to put some salsa...thank goodness I had some at hand...so yeah some tweaks maybe but my food was really good“

“DeAsia does an awesome job she has been my server the last several times that I have been in hooters for lunch.“

“Was recently in a pinch needing to grab some dinner for the family and was tired of the usual spots. Dickeys was affordable, the food was great and the service was above and beyond. The staff, who I believe are also owners were so kind and thoughtful and even gave me a free fountain drink while I waited for my large order to be ready despite it only taking them a few minutes to get everything together.

I will absolutely be back and I'm so grateful to have them as an option in the neighborhood.“

“Yessss 😍🍗 I am absolutely in love with the deliciousness of fried chicken livers! There’s just something about that crispy outside and tender, flavorful inside that makes me so happy every single time. I swear, I cannot leave Kentucky without getting some fried chicken — it’s basically a requirement at this point! 😂✨

And let me tell you, it just hits differently here. I’m convinced it’s way better than anything you could find in NYC. The flavor, the seasoning, the texture — everything tastes homemade and authentic 🙌💛

You can truly tell they cook with love and pride, and that passion comes through in every bite. It’s not just food, it’s comfort and tradition on a plate 🥰🔥 Kentucky fried chicken will always have my heart!“
