50 Best Chicken Wings in Portland

“Stopped here on our way to Eugene to move our daughter into U of O. Delicious food super friendly staff. Go Ducks!!!!!!“

“If you’re on the hunt for a flavor-packed chicken wing experience, Sandy Hot Wings might just be your new go-to spot. I recently tried their Lemon Pepper and Garlic Parmesan combo meal, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint!

Lemon Pepper Wings:
The lemon pepper wings were a delightful surprise. Each wing was perfectly crispy on the outside, providing that satisfying crunch with every bite. The seasoning was spot-on—zesty and bright, with a punch of lemon that was refreshing without being overwhelming. The pepper added a nice kick, balancing the citrus notes beautifully. I appreciated that they didn’t skimp on the seasoning; you could taste it in every bite. These wings are perfect for anyone who enjoys a tangy twist on classic flavors.

Garlic Parmesan Wings
Now, let’s talk about the garlic parmesan wings. If you’re a fan of garlic, these wings are a must-try. The garlic flavor was rich and aromatic, enveloping the wings in a savory embrace. The parmesan added a creamy, nutty depth that complemented the garlic perfectly. The wings were again crispy, and the sauce was just the right consistency—not too runny, allowing for a delightful coating without being overly messy. This flavor combination is ideal for those who prefer a more indulgent option.

Crinkle Fries:
To accompany the wings, the crinkle fries were a fantastic choice. They were golden brown and crispy, offering a satisfying crunch that held up well against the sauces from the wings. The crinkle cut added an extra layer of texture, making them perfect for dipping in any leftover wing sauce. They were seasoned just right, with a hint of salt that paired wonderfully with the flavors of the wings.

**Overall Experience:**
The combo meal was a generous portion and offered a great balance of flavors and textures. Whether you’re in the mood for a zesty kick or a rich, savory bite, Sandy Hot Wings has you covered. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was casual. If you’re looking for delicious wings that deliver on flavor, the Lemon Pepper and Garlic Parmesan combo at Sandy Hot Wings is definitely worth a try. Pair it with their crinkle fries, and you’ve got yourself a winning meal. I’ll be back for more!“

“I enjoyed the Big Dirty! Great, flavorful and filling dish. And I loved the banana pudding! I’m visiting from California and will be back next time to try a burger. They looked wonderful and my friends said they were really good!“

“Absolutely amazing food but that wasn't even the best part. The service we were provided by Drew was phenomenal!! Drees kindness and awesome personality will have us coming back time and time again! Thank you Drew for being the best server ever!!“

“My favorite vegan pizza in Portland. Try the cheeseburger pizza.“

“Best lollipop chicken and garlic noodles in town!! Great friendly owners :)“

“The food was amazing the prime sweet and spicy chicken is my personal favorite so far along with there taro milk tea which is absolutely amazing by the way the staff was so incredibly nice I messed up my order and they where so kind to clarify the difference between the prime and the normal sweet and spicy chicken and where just super nice and I love the whole look of the place I am definitely going to visit more often“

“I maybe had too high standards given the pedigree.

This is a lot better than matt's, a little better than botto's, but worse than the lost holy trinity bbq, and I don't know how to compare it to grassland because that place seems to want to sell everything besides brisket everytime i'm there for some reason.

On the ranking of 1: hill country destination, 2: good for austin (2010) 3: good for houston(2016), 4: dallas or lower, I'd give it a 3?

ideally whole bar thing would burn down and be rebuilt as a cafeteria line with a man slicing brisket right in front of you on a slab. The way it's running in the winter brisket's in danger of getting cold by the time your plate reaches you.

The lean brisket was a bit dry but great crust and the fat was great.

Egregiously they didn't include white bread pickles and onion in my to go order even though I specifically asked (and paid extra for bread?) which makes the entire meal an abject failure, like being served carnitas with no tortillas/salsa. I think the picked red onions are just a little bit sour for the total acid balance. I recommend bringing your own raw white onions and wonderbread from home.“

“On top of the food being amazing, if you eat-in, they serve you, and the food is plated in a really nice way! The employees we interacted with were so nice!!! (Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the food/presentation, we were too busy shoving the delicious food in our faces) but the food was amazing, chicken was crispy and the soy garlic flavor was very pleasant, fries were thick and crispy, and the sauces were a good match. Will definitely be returning!“

“We went there already 5x and more to come. The food is excellent and their customer services are amazing especially Kevin. Thank you for well accommodating experience“

“Went in to the Moreland Ave location in Atlanta this evening to place a to go order! Gerald was exceptionally professional, attentive and on top of everything l! He deserves a raise and I hope y’all keep him around! His people skills are top notch!“

“great place with great pizza!“

“GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE+1(8O5)-41O 5OO2 NO NONSENSE AND GREAT ASSISTANCE!!!“

“Albert Market Aka Jacks was amazing before Keith Lee and has still been amazing since. I appreciate how hard the staff continues to work with the increase in traffic since the viral tik tok influencers made a stop in. They are turning out impressive numbers of chicken without jeopardizing the quality of the chicken we all love.“

“I had the bulgogi rice bowl and WOW it was delicious! reasonably priced and nice staff. will definitely go again and highly recommend this place to others!“

“BEST FRIED CHICKEN & JOJO'S & THE CHICKEN LIVER DINNER IS EXCELLENT AS WELL.“

“wonderful staff, tasty food, and a great place to listen to music“

“Best Thai food in Portland! The drunken noodles and pad see ew are excellent. The rice noodles in particular are some of the best rice noodles I've ever had. Fresh, flavorful, fairly quick given the quality. The owner/chef is very accommodating of vegan/vegetarian and gluten-free. He makes a super tasty off-menu veggie stir fry for my partner who has a few allergies (vegetarian, gluten free, no rice). Seriously the best.“

“Haven't been here in 6 years and can't stop thinking about this fried chicken tonight. People leaving bad reviews because they don't want to tip can swallow a bone. Best fried chicken in Portland. JoJo's the size of your face. I miss you.“

“Comfort food. Flavor bombs in every bite. Growing up as a kid it was always a disappointment going to a restaurant and the food isnt as good as what you get at home when your Asian. This place is like going home to my dad cooking dinner or visiting an auntie who says i love you by making all your favorite foods. Staff is friendly. Bathroom is always clean.“

“Wow…what a great pizza! It’s definitely worth the trip! We had it last night and will definitely be doing that again! So many options, reasonable prices, and do not get me started on the taste! Support this local, PDX, small business. Their pizza is sooo much better than the commercial guys! And we love pizza! Hit up a delivery service if ya can’t make it there and have them bring it to you! It’s worth it. I promise!“

“Excellent pizza, swift efficient service and a clean shop. Will definitely go back!“

“Good burgers & fries. Fill my growler. All great!“

“Great food. Love the bam pow burger.“

“The cutest place with the best shakes and the best burgers. The best pricing around and I enjoy the atmosphere and the television always playing. Don’t trust the record dude trying to hate on Sammy’s! He’s fibbing. Love Sammy’s. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻“

“great food. but you guys need to get with doordash and uber eats“

“I’m new to the Cheerful Tortoise and I’ve been driving by it most of my life. I had no idea that it’s been around for over 75 years which is pretty amazing… And it is right in the middle of Portland State University and is a home away from home for people who need a place to go on holidays or special occasions when everybody else has family. I love that it is a sports bar that allows kids and I look forward to taking them there for taco night and also for wings. I met Amy and heard her story in an interview… And feel like she is providing a place that is the heart of the downtown community in a very open way. I went last night for hip-hop night and the skill set of the DJs was off the chart… DJ Wicked and DJ Good Fortune are two of the nicest men I’ve met in a long time in the DJ world. They are an old-school staple and people have no idea how blessed we are to have their skills and music selection in our community. The staff at the restaurant everybody has been very kind and friendly to me. Everybody that was in the restaurant the two times I’ve been there seem to truly enjoy themselves and there were families with kids along with people playing pool and lottery in the back. It kind of feels like a hobbit bar because of its age….. I like it. It deserves my patronage and you can feel the history in it. I really dig how it feels. Nothing like a good old dive bar from old Portland… I’m a little late, figuring it out but with their happy hour specials and their drink night specials this is a place I can afford. It’s pretty evident that the people leaving reviews on here are using the cancel culture tactics which is very tired. I was actually one of the people who also complained about what the Portland Pickles were doing and was grossly offended by all of it. It had nothing to do with drag. It had everything to do with kids putting dollar bills in the thong of a pickle that was dressed like a stripper and the penis that was coming out of some of the images talking about Uranus. I immediately withdrew my child from Baseball camp and want nothing more to do with the organization. It’s embarrassing. The people leaving these reviews are sick and mean and hateful. These are not honest reviews. It’s just a testimony of people operating at a lower level who enjoy hating others = the exact thing they’re complaining about. The people who yell from the mountain topped the loudest are the ones who are actually displaying the behavior. I met Amy briefly and can tell immediately that as a mom, a business owner, and somebody who has spent her time at this bar…. you can feel the love she has for community. When I was at hip-hop night, there were people from all walks of life, genders, preferences, etc. I don’t know what these people are talking about but definitely don’t overlook a place that has history in Portland!“

“One of the best pizzas I’ve ever tasted. Super friendly and fast. Everyone seemed happy to be at work.“

“This food is amazing! Great location too, next to a beer garden and huge outdoor seating area. New building, clean bathrooms!!“

“I ordered my Uber eats delivery at 8:30 PM and there was a glitch and I ended up getting my order messed up in this wonderful restaurants saved my order and gave me times two of what I ordered what I paid for blessed me today after I was having a terrible day, even wrote on the drink carrier, a smiley face in a heart praise to the 6 to 10 or six to one shift you guys are warriors. We love you.“

“We had J&L cater our 130 person wedding with two choices of Meats and 3 sides. The whole process with them went so smoothly, they delivered our food timely and we received TONS of great reviews on the food. Their catfish was AMAZING and the corn bread and green beans with bacon were a hit. If I ever had to do another large event they will be number one choice. thank you guys so much for taking our wedding to the next level! Taylor and James Roberts“

“We were on a long drive on I5 from CA needing dinner. This was convenient enough to get off and back on to the highway. Parking is tight if you have a big vehicle. Restaurant was bright and clean. Costumer service was pleasant. Our food was ready quickly and everything was what we ordered. The food was hot and delicious.

Downside the bathrooms looked clean but smelled really bad, like sewer problems bad.“

“Since they opened on SW Barbur I have been so pleased with everything. Former New Yorker and over 80s now, no one harder to please. Right?
Well after the first year and organizing service, bakers and phone staff the place aces it for me
The drivers too are so kind.
Sauce got a bit spicier that I prefer but all and all That man who started Dominos and I believe is still an executive of the chain; Can tip his hat
For fighting the way to success.
Good luck forever.
Susan .“

“I ordered from them for the first time tonight and I am in love with them they are very good the best wings I've ever tried I will never order them from anybody else“

“Went on Superbowl Sunday. Nice people, the Bartender was absolutely wonderful! First time visit, and I was made to feel very welcome in a bar that appeared to be regulars. Also, the $10-20 cost I provided reflects the fact that I was there for a couple. Also, I tip.“

“Awesome staff and amazing food!! Definitely recommend the lasagna!“

“Picked up an order at about a quarter after midnight 12/29. Blonde gal behind the counter making pizzas and delivery driver about 6ft tall with shoulder length-ish dark hair, both about 20, were both extremely sweet and friendly. I'd been working all day and received very bad medical news about my Dad, had a really horrible day and was putting off impatient energy, they were super forgiving and nice.“

“Dank bird. Love it! Really love it.“

“The woman who just took my order over the phone was awesome. Wish I would have got her name. For whatever reason ordering online would not accept my card. And I have ordered many times with that card. I called she took care of the situation and saved me a lot of money. Thank you to her!!!“

“Ordered a last minute personal pizza meal deal w/ chicken salad, unfortunately they didn’t have the ingredients for my salad but they called right away n offered a lot to apologize which wasn’t necessary I already appreciated the call ahead of time. My delivery driver was super sweet n handled the whole transaction with a smile“

“I called and ordered at 162nd in advance. When I got there, they were sending customers away and saying they didn't have certain things and others said the ebt was down. Yury, Tony and and lady that started with a Y stayed open four myself and AT LEAST four other customers. I LOVE the deep dish they made. They went above and beyond for multiple families that night.“

“Glad to see someone took over the old Burger King on grand ave. It had been vacant for many years. They gave it a nice face-lift. Everything looked bright and new. Maria F. did a great job juggling front counter, door dash, and drive thru. Very friendly and helpful. The only thing I would suggest is to pipe in some music into the dinning room.“

“Manager is so kind. Not only did we get our pizza ,but also he followed through till uber eats was at my door. Coming from Savannah, GA. He was the first person nice to us! We’re having a family emergency ,and needed some comfort food for our gathering. Amazing Grace!!“

“I’ve ordered delivery here on the weekends every now and then and felt I had to put this review in! Whether it’s wings, pizza or pasta/Mac & cheese it’s all a good comfort meal with care taken into it, even if it is a company chain don’t forget to tip your drivers!🫶“
