Best Wings in Tampa

[Jay Bizniss]

Alright people.. I love me some Hot Wings, and since Wild Wing Cafe closed a year ago, I havent found a place worthy of me coming back.. This has resulted in me sticking to Winghouse, which isnt bad, but isnt great either.. Anyone know of any must eat wing places in the Tampa area?? Im hungry.

[voodoo]

I love naked blackened wings at Winghouse... But Tilted Kilt has a damn good sauce too...

[Jay Bizniss]

Yes naked wings at Winghouse are deff good.. I just think there has to be a place out there that isnt a chain restaurant that has great wings.

[ApogeeNow]

Does this have anything to do with the "Chicken wing"?

Hahaha no.. This is real wings.. The kind you eat.

[ApogeeNow]

Hahaha no.. This is real wings.. The kind you eat.

I was quite confused there for a few moments, I really appreciate you clearing things up......

[sergeantnic]

Eats American Grill on Dale Mabry just north of Gandy Blvd.

They are known for having the best food from different places in the US and have authentic Buffalo Wings.

I'd give them a shot. Also, the Press box has pretty good wings. But I'm a big fan of naked hot wings from Hooters to be honest.

[coob]

welcome to cooters

[HoleShotThis]

We win all of the local wing contests at MOJO's with the "MOJO Style" wing - it is a spicy blackened wing - definitely delicious.

[TAMPA08R1]

I know you said no chain restaurants but I love Winghouse and BW3(Buffalo Wild Wings) in Brandon isn't bad either, esp 60 cent boneless Thursdays. Down side to BW3 is the beer is expensive as hell.

[Modifyd4]

I know what ya mean I lived in upstate NY for years and have a hard time finding really good wings!

[jayrx7trbo2]

Buffalo Wild wings has good wings and a TOn of flavors

[The_B!tch]

place called Charron's in Tampa, its on Hillsbourgh just past the Veterans.
not sure if I spelled it right though

[Ronin]

Anthony's coal fired pizza on 60 in Brandon. Best coal fire baked wings ever.

[RICO]

Gaspars in Temple Terrace use to have the best wings. Definitely a 10, but now they changed to a healthier cooking oil, they slipped to a 9.5 or so......

Is it just te 1 location?.. I may be up for a ride to this place.. I love me some hot wangs!

[GT13]

there is several good wing places in lakeland but my favorite wing is fergs hot wings in st.pete dont usually do breaded wings but they bread them in cornmeal and there hot sauce is pretty warm( hotter then house on fire from w.h. and xtra hot from beefs) there sick

[MikeRR]

I am a connoisseur of the chicken wing., as far as tampa though, I dont know the area, but I always try them wherever I go. My current places are in St. Pete because I live here, but here are a few.

Saint Pete Ale House - Great breaded, and they have the Mt. St. Helens temp wings. Hot, with a kick of black pepper. They also have a 1$ drink special every day to accompany the wings.
Chattaways Drive In - Great simple bar wings, good old butter and hot sauce.
Midtown Sundries in downtown - only good if done double dipped in the hot pepper sauce, otherwise lame.
BWW, simply because it is BWW, and they have trivia. Which is amazingly fun after a few brews.
WOW Wings down by the southside walmart, but it closed. They had an awesome hot garlic flavor.

There are others, but those are my main rounds.

[MikeRR]

I lived in Oswego, near Syracuse, for a while. Best wings there was a place called Cathy's. Good old Franks RedHot and a pat of butter, classic.

[Shakdiesel9]

I like Westshore pizza wings

I grew up near Watertown/Ft Drum actually called Cape Vincent

Wings are not the same down south.

[shootnmove]

snappers is good in palm harbor

[misscbr]

i have a friend who swears by Coppertop Pub's wings. located on fowler ave in tampa. theyre all you can eat on Mondays for like $12. they bake instead of fry them

[camel]

The Beef O Bradys wings, but only at the one on Macdill south of Swann. But that was years ago. Honestly I'm not much into wings but went there a couple of times while working on a project and they were kick ass.

[TinyBubbles]

Anthony's coal fired pizza on 60 in Brandon. Best coal fire baked wings ever.




agreed......also i don't know the name of it, but there is a little white house that sells wings that are amazing...its on fletcher ave. like 1/2 block east of Nebraska ave. on the north side of fletcher......it's take out only but they have badass wings...

[GSXR_dr]

McDivots off of Countryway Blvd. and Linebaugh in westchase. Their hot garlic wings are my favorite.

[Leth]

Surprised it took this long for someone to mention the awesome wings at McDivots. Can't go wrong with fresh chopped garlic mixed into your favorite wing sauce.

[rmzsuzuki89]

Buffalo Wild Wings on US19 and Drew in Clearwater. (Blazin', Parmesan Garlic, Asian Zing, and Spicy Garlic are great.)
Wings Gone Wild on Bay to Bay in Tampa. (Cajun is great.)
Quaker Steak on 49th St. where it meets US19 in St. Pete. (Cajun, Atomic, Thia R Cracker, and Golden Garlic are great.)
Midtown in downtown St. Pete. (Nuclear and teriaki are great.)
Fat Cat Tavern in the Tri-City plaza on Eastbay and US19. (Blazin' is the only flavor I've had there.)
I also like the hot wings at the Hooters' around here...But the Hooters' in Lakeland and Bartow have cajun wings than are awesome.
Mugs and Jugs is also good.

I usually go to a couple of these places a few times a week, I'm a wing nut haha.

You have to check out Santo's Pizza and Pasta in Wesley Chapel. 75 to 54, head west a little and its on the right. Bike friendly too.

[SAT_DUC]

Shenaniganz in Apollo Beach has some great wings!!!

[Batman]

I like Gators (dockside) honey bbq Chipolte wings

[robibler]

Funny you should ask that. I went to coasters on Indian Rocks Beach last night and apparently theres a new chef. We ordered blackened mahi sandwiches, nachos, and four different styles of wings. It was all really good, especially the wings. They had one style called char-b-que. They were spicy bbq wings. Anwyays, this place is definitely worth a shot.

[SoHoR1]

Hattricks in downtown Tampa - get them 'shake and baked' (they shake em in hot sauce, then bake them, then throw them in sauce again before served).

They have a happy hour everyday 6-8 then 10-12: 50 cent wings, 1.50 bud light drafts.

[BrokenR1]

Wings Gone Wild on Bay to Bay in Tampa. (Cajun is great.)

This is where I was gonna say too.

I agree....not sure what the fuss was with this place other then them saying the kitchen was slow....and then people complained the kitchen was slow..DUH.

Wings were good and meaty.

this Yankee is from Akron, NY...a small rural town outside of the Buffalo burbs...Were you thinking of La Nova? There are so many good pizza/wing places there so I'm not sure which one you were thinking of...

[Stricken]

[Mookiezlast]

I moved from Buffalo where we have all the original wing places, funny enough the closest ones ive found so far are from buffalo wild wings lol. Other thing is no one eats breaded wings, the only place in buffalo that has breading on their wings is a $5 chinese buffet -_-

[rocalotopus]

copper top on fowler

Was in the neighborhood and stopped by there. Embarrassing. Hands down worst I've ever had. Unpleasant texture, no flavor, overcooked. Smoked wings my ass. More like dropped in a campfire for an hour

[Little R6]

Wow, it's been several years, but I thought Copper Top had a unique wing, almost like they were cooked in a crock pot then seasoned... fall off the bone tender, differant but good. Must have changes up the deal in the last 3 or so years....

[MotoQT]

$0.45cent wings on Tuesdays, Buffalo Wild Wings... parmesean garlic & spicy garlic!
and
Naked wings @ wild wings are great

My VP told me the Original Honey's on NDale Mabry/Carrollwood has bbq raspberry wings that r awesome. he was practically salivating when mentioned, so i think i'll have 2try that next.

[rocalotopus]

more like baked 3x too long, then rolled in a black dirt/hot pepper coating. disgusting.

[TravisTraction]

Lets flip the script, what about sauces you can buy at the grocery store that are pretty damn good? I like preparing my own wings at home for football and was wondering if anyone has found a good hot wing sauce.

[SoHoR1]

My favorite buffalo sauce at home is franks buffalo sauce. You can mix it with some franks hot sauce if u want it hotter.

[elicate]

Has anyone tried Babalu in St Pete? Heard they have some actual hot wings. Most places' hot is not hot at all.

can't get it at the grocery store. but you can buy bottles of BWW's medium sauce from them.

go easy with it. don't need much

[RICO]

I guess this thread proves we all have different tastes in wings......

[coob]

So I got a groupon for Press Box in Tampa, Awesome little sports bar. They actually have tables set up like a press box in front of dining room and TVs you can sit in, plus Great wings and lots of flavors. I was impressed.

[RICO]

Coob, how long have you lived in Tampa?
Just wondering.

[coob]

3-4 years. But the first 2 years I didn't really explore the city. Just went back and forth between school and work. So I'm still discovering places. I'm guessing Press Box is more popular? Talked to a friend about it and he said "Oh yea I know them, its awesome."

[RICO]

I think it use to be a great place.
Actually it still is, but you use to be able to go there and have a good time.
Now (about 5 years ago) it gets so packed and out of control on sundays, I don't even stop.
Cool place thou

[coob]

Wow that's a shame. We went Wednesday afternoon. The bar was full but the dining room was dead empty. I'm sure it fills up gametime tho.
