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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Sidelines or Insurrection Ale Works.
For those that love the mouth-breather, mark madden, he's not totally off base with Conway Pizza

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

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.

Sad. The place was always a good stop.

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.

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

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

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,

Insurrection in Carnegie.

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

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

Did they close the one in Robinson? I ate there a few months ago

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.

Maybe it's Stockholm because it's right up the street, but i really like Applewood smokes wings
Caliente cry to your momma over some fries is the best super hot flavor I've ever had

Birmingham Bridge Tavern...so good.
Erid the Red, Eric Jr, Spicy Garlic Parm...salivating.
swm5126 t1_ixi09fr wrote
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.
LaxTy23 t1_ixi1fvn wrote
The original Quaker steak is still in Sharon PA and then the spots at Acrisure and PNC are still there!

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.

Damn man, I loved that place too

Haven't been to Carl's in a VERY long time, do they still have a really good Fish Sandwich and Burger??
LaxTy23 t1_ixi9mbs wrote
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_ixia1ew wrote
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.
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!

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

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.

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.
Homebrewer79 t1_ixmvj26 wrote
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.
SewerSavage187 t1_ixu0jeo wrote
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.
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.
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...

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