Sidelines in Millvale. Best wings in the area- great sauces, always come out super fresh and crispy.

Bigshot Bob's is in second place for me, but suffers a bit for basically being takeout only (though a couple locations have a handful of tables)- by the time you get it home, it's not crispy anymore. I've also gotten some clearly old/frozen wings from them before (and have never had that happen at Sidelines). That said, 90% of the time BSB's is a great option and is still a firm second place in my book.

Sideline's Jamaican Jaggoff killed me, 9/10 would recommend.

Loved this place when I lived in PGH. The big fine mama and The Cory gunslinger were my 2 favorite sauces.

Def gonna try them out. There’s one 15 min out from me. I saw they have a ton of sauces

They were my favorite, then they opened one in Gibsonia, and it was TERRIBLE. They closed not long after opening

Yeah I love BSB but I think there are only two original locations anymore (Avalon and Kennedy Twp maybe?). I live near the one in Avalon and always have great wings when I order but not sure about the other locations as they seem to be spun off as a small chain.

Wings, Suds and Spuds and Sammy’s.

For basic flavors and dine-in, this is absolutely the correct answer as a lifelong Westsider. However, BSB is #1 and Sidelines a close #2 for wing snobs.

Bigshot Bob's for dressed wings

Hook for picnic style whole wings

Poor Richard's Public House for wings with a burger and beer

Bigham Tavern in the Mount. Favorite type/sauces are: Hot Garlic, Dingo, Hyena

I haven’t had wings from there or anywhere recently as the cheapskate in me prevents me from paying, “market price” for wings.

I was there Saturday night and it was $15 for 12 wings. Not bad at all.

Stampin269 t1_ixhzbuk wrote

Oh damn, I didn’t know that, I can stomach that price. Last time I was there (a few months ago) it was $20 for 12.

SewerSavage187 t1_ixu0mm5 wrote

Yet another fantastic answer. Bingham Tavern has come a LONG way since they were once a 90's coke bar for the Mounties.

I’m a big fan of doughboys because their sauces are the best I had on some damn fine chicken wings.

Also Sidelines was good as hell when I tried em out. No love for Fat Heads? Can’t say I’ve had bad wings out here,

Sidelines or Insurrection Ale Works.

For those that love the mouth-breather, mark madden, he's not totally off base with Conway Pizza

A bit tangential, but I got ten pounds of wings from Tom Fridays for $30 and made them for a friendsgiving. Tossed them in a buffalo ranch dry sauce, and they were great.

For reference, BSB charges $20 for 13 wings.

Used to be Excuses on the South Side. Now that it's closed, and I have the recipe, I make the best wings at home.

SewerSavage187 t1_ixu0vnl wrote

Would donate blood for recipe. Grew up on 17th and those wings have had a part of my heart since my older sister would bring them home after drinking and watching local bands in the 90's. RIP to the Real McCoy as well, many days of my youth spent panhandling quarters to play the Street Fighter II/MK cabinets as a juvenile delinquent in grunge era Southside...

I haven't had wings in a while, especially since they have become more expensive per ounce than most precious metals, but the Quaker Steak wings are awesome. It's not so much the wings themselves which are usually kinda average sized... It's the Louisiana Lickers sauce. My god it's delicious.

We also like Wings Suds and Spuds out in Moon. They are damn good.

Ah get outta here. That sucks lol. Well thanks for the heads up... Since I was thinking about it after reading the thread.

yeah man kind of a bummer I use to frequent during my college days at RMU

They had a slow death were closing at like 8 pm for the last year and like a month ago just shut the doors. The one in wheeling is still open though

Sad. The place was always a good stop.

The original Quaker steak is still in Sharon PA and then the spots at Acrisure and PNC are still there!

There's still a few, but they're definitely smaller now.

Bigshot Bob's if I want sauced wings. Dragon Town in Bellevue if I want just well seasoned, well cooked wings.

Caliente cry to your momma over some fries is the best super hot flavor I've ever had

Carl's right off 22 in Wilkins twp is a great place the gf and I frequent, and their wings are phenomenal!

Haven't been to Carl's in a VERY long time, do they still have a really good Fish Sandwich and Burger??

My girlfriend LOVES the burger. I haven't had the fish yet but I know it's a big hit especially during lent!

DIY_Creative t1_ixibi4w wrote

Cool, thanks! I used to hit up Carl's often bc they were one of the OG places to get decent bar food and craft beer! Way before the craft beer boom. Always loved it there. I'd even stop on a Saturday afternoon for a burger. I'll have to go back sometime soon. Thanks!

Wings Suds and Spuds in Moon and Harold’s Mountain Style Wings in Hopewell. Also Zookies in Beaver. Big Shot Bobs can be good but seem To be hit or miss. They seem to focus more on quantity rather than quality.

Wings over Pittsburgh. Redbeard's.

Redbeard's very underrated spot. They've been a hidden gem since they were Tambellini's way back in the day.

Insurrection Aleworks are the best and don’t really have any peers.

Franklin Inn has grilled wings that are to die for. They only come in one flavor (hot) so obviously not the variety that OP might be looking for but would 10/10 still recommend.

San Francisco Wild wings at Mad Mex are fantastic. The chicken is fried better than many wing places.

Garlic Parm with a side of Buffalo from Pizzeria Davide are also amazing.

Streets on the Fly food truck does the most tender and decadent wings I've had.

Extremely unpopular opinion but wings are a trash piece of meat (ducks for downvotes). But seriously their value, especially at current prices is ridiculous for that piece of meat. That said, I do get a hankering for wings. Stinkys in Lawrenceville has decent wings. Fat Head's used to be the best in the city, not sure if they are anymore. Gateway Grill in Monroeville used to have good wings also! Sorry for unpopular opinion but if wings were still super cheap bar food then meh, but at their cost, it's trash.
