Personal favorites are Bayou Sweet Heat & Lemon Pepper bone-in wings, with fried pickles, onion rings, and potato salad as awesome sides. What're you waiting for?? read more

Long time bookmark! Adam Carola or some dude like that came here one time I think. I was super stressed and didn't want to interact with any humans so I got these wings to go and headed back to the hotel. I had seen some news about them at some point, I love chicken wings, and it looked good. It's take out only. Not much to see besides the menu and the pictures of Adam and some other dudes. You can see the kitchen, little shotgun style place. I asked some questions about the sauce heat levels and ordered what he equated to medium regular buffalo I think. The names are strange to me. Just say Buffalo!!! Ugh. The wings were flavored very well, I liked the sauce a lot. The fries had a nice seasoning on them as well. The packaging absolutely ruined the food. It was all soaked when I opened it. That really sucked. It was about a 15 minute ride. They packed it in a wax lined, fully sealed box, similar to an Asian food box. It simply steamed the food while I drove. Bad move guys. I could not even eat the fries, they were just mush. Wings had a slight crispness in some spots after I left them open for 20 mins or so to dehydrate. As I said, the sauce was great so I did eat the wings. The wings are probably really good I bet if they were not ruined by the packing. 3 stars for the flavor. '26 - 96 read more

Recently, I had a party for about 50 people and needed some last-minute food items for everybody. For this place, I used the app for the first time and placed my order selecting the perfect dry rub for our wings. The app said the order will be ready in 30 minutes and to my surprise when I showed up 25 minutes later, they had my order all bagged up and ready to go. I also need to add that my houseguest love these wings and ate every one of them. read more

After the Tulane game we tried to get a Lyft/Uber but the wait looked to be over an hour. We decided to hit up the area to see what was around but surprisingly a few of the local bars seemed to be closing up shop or were packed. We ended up at a little plaza and saw the sign for Bayou Hot WIngs. We made no attempt to look this place up and went in to check it out. What a good sign, first picture we saw was Adam Richman and there was a small blurb that he called this one of the best wings. We decided to check it out and there was no turning back....mainly due to the hour long damn wait for a ride back downtown NOLA. I ordered the hot wings and a drink. My friend got hot wings and some fries. The place had a lot of people placing orders and seemed super popular. It didn't take long and we were out of here with our wings. We decided to eat on some tables that were outside. Beautiful night and the wings were really good. There was pretty decent texture on it and it was sauced well but not over sauced were the wings were swimming in sauce. The heat wasn't bad, a decent level for sure. I'd definitely come back if I was in the area...or would come after every Tulane game. Thanks Adam Richman for dropping in here and convincing me...pretty easily after seeing your reco here. read more

Simply delicious, Alway a win & consistent good food every single time! The food came out pretty quick and always friendly.

This is probably unbelievable considering that I'm vegetarian but Bayou Hotwings is a major part of my life. I used to get the chicken here (so juicy) and then I became vegetarian and continued exploring the sauces. My boyfriend and I have probably spent over $100 or $200 on sauce bottles here when we visit, they're just unlike any hot sauce we've tried anywhere (and we are addicted to hot sauce). Please, even if your vegetarian, if you like spice come try Bayou Hot Wings. It's easy to find parking, good for take away or eat in at the tables outside, and the staff is super nice. My only complaint is that stomachs have a capacity and the food doesn't just magically appear at my table in California. Thankfully, I can have Beast every morning with my eggs thanks to their bottles for sale. read more

Hands down the best wings in the city! Wish they had more locations or additional seating! DoorDashing is not as good but I really love the bayou sweet heat and lemon pepper wings/tenders and the burger! read more

I don't really care for hot wings but this joint does sling some great burgers, chicken sandwiches and other nice items.  The prices here are also a great value and you get a large portion of food for a very reasonable price.  The main downside of this place is it really isn't built for dining at the location as they have very limited seating inside and a table outside.  They also only have bottled drinks and no freshly brewed iced tea which always saddens me.  The quality of the food seems to have degraded during the pandemic situation and they have added stricter rules for ordering so now you have to call ahead or use their website to order so no more walking up to order. Overall though for a large delicious burger with nice fries this is one of the best values in the area along with offering some surprises on the menu you won't find in any other hot wing place outside of NOLA.

So far the best wing place in all of New Orleans. Very easy In-N-Out to get your food. The Parmesan garlic is definitely a go to and their homemade blue cheese is even better. Would definitely recommend this place for anybody wanting wings or chicken tenders or fries. read more

I ordered the bayou hot boy wings. Fries were good. Blue cheese was the best I've ever had. Wings were good but there was a sweetness about it I didn't like. Overall I would go again. read more

Finally tried BHW for the first time ever and .... it was okay. Well the Bayou Burger was spectacular and cooked to our temp. It tastes as if they use hot sausage in the meat as well. I ordered sweet heat wings and expected something different. Thai Chill was good though. I'd go back but not necessarily for the wings and this is a wings spot so there's that. read more

I had to come back to Baypu Wings. Had to get started on my trial run of the other flavors. I split my flavors in half. My son loves lemon pepper so that was his half. Although it was delicious when I got it last time, I was ready to explore the other flavors. So I went with the chipotle BBQ. Wow, it was everything. Powerful deliciousness. Two great flavors so far. The only negative I had with my experience this time is, I didn't like how they broke the wings. I had maybe two drummettes while they served just the wing portion instead of an actual entire wingette. Other than that, the flavor was popping. The struggle is to get past the two flavors I already tried and branch out. I think I'm up for the challenge though. read more

Wings were some of the best I've had in a long time. Maybe the best. Price was super fair and wings are decent size too. All in all couldn't ask for more in a wing spot! read more

Finally made it to Bayou Hot Wings and glad I did. The first thing you will notice is the great attitude of the Allen and Kyle the two chefs behind the all the creative flavors. It's awesome to see people take pride in what they do and do it so very good. Ordering is simple, look at the board, pick your flavors and your done. I had the garlic butter parmesan and Korean BBQ. Both were crunchy and packed with flavor. The fries are crispy and delicious. The only negative is that both the wings and fries came out a bit cold which for the Korean BBQ made the sauce thick and for the Parmesan the cheese didn't melt all the way. Hopefully next time they will be hot and I can get the full experience. read more

Disclaimer, this was an online order so I can only comment on the food. First off, these have got to be the tiniest wings I've ever had. Mostly all breading and very little meat. It genuinely looks like pigeon wings, they're that tiny. The flavor of the wings was really good though. We also got the chicken pesto wrap. It was mostly lettuce and didn't taste like pesto at all. It had good flavor, but disappointing for sure. The alligator bites were star of the show. No complaints on those. Great breading and great flavor. It was also frustrating that our wings were not separated by flavor, they were just thrown together in the same box. read more

please note: this order came through Door Dash I am usually not a wing person, but Bayou Hot Wings will change your mind and life. we ordered from Door Dash last night from them. a 10 piece Korean bbq, hot wing, pepper jelly chicken tenders and fries. the korean bbq was amazing. cooked to perfection and crispy. I could eat this marinade on anything. the hot wings were great but the homemade ranch really amped up the flavor. the fries were not the best but since it was delivered, it could have been from the box it was in. the real superstar was the chicken tender. this tender was thicc, juicy and cooked perfect! it's hard to describe how this chicken tender was made because you can taste the care it came from. overall, if you're not a wing person or love wings in general; Bayou Hot Wings is your hook up. read more

No walk up orders taken. You have to scan the menu which takes you to a page where you can place your order and then you'll pick up when they are ready (going as contactless as possible which is understood and smart). We ordered: Gator bites (for the husband), Garlic Butter Parmesan Fries, and 6 Hot Wings (3 Korean BBQ and 3 Bayou Sweet Heat). Gator bites: This was all my husband, I do not enjoy gator bites. But my husband said it was really good so I trust his judgement. *As a matter of fact, he said they were so good it overshadowed the mediocre wings* Garlic Butter Parmesan Fries: I had high hopes for this but unfortunately it wasn't as good as I expected. The shredded Parmesan was not melted all the way *minus 1 star* which made it hard to eat but on a good note, the fries had a good texture. I probe should have ordered them plain. The wings: The Bayou Sweet Heat had 2 chili signs and the Korean BBQ had 3 chili signs but ironically the Bayou Sweet Heat seemed more spicy than the Korean BBQ. We ordered that one since my husband doesn't handle here as much as I do...we didn't realize it would be spicier than he can handle *minus 1 star*. Overall, would say it's a good stop for a quick bite. I do like the fact that they are contactless. It isn't an actual sit in restaurant though but there is a table right outside. Just ONE table. So if others are sitting there, your only option is to take it to the car or home to eat. Luckily for us, we were able to sit on the table since we were the only ones. read more

Absolutely the best wings in the city! I love the little seating area in the front and the service was way faster than we expected

Little wings, decent flavor, and I want to try they other food. I had the Korean bbq wings. It was straight. Fries aight.

My absolute favorite!! The wings here are so amazing. The breading alone sends me to heaven! I'm a fan of the bayou sweet heat and recently tried the bayou hot boy. It's a must visit read more

Big fan of bayou hot wings. Been coming here for years. It's a tiny space that offer some of the best wings in town. Pretty good selection on the menu with all the different sauces you can choose from. My fave sauce is their bayou sweet and lemon pepper. They have in house dips too! Don't forget to try their burgers and alligator bites. Outside are 2 small picnic tables to eat on but its more so a pick up place. I've even seen people chow down on the back of their truck in the parking lot because driving home with that delicious smell in your car is torture. Trust me, I know. The 25 mins drive home from here is a struggle. lol Tip: you can ask for the sauces on the side to help the wings from getting soggy and when you get home, just toss it together. =) read more

Bayou Hot Wings is one of my favorite spots for wings and tenders. I'm so thrilled that they are back open and operating during this Covid19 pandemic. Their hours have changed and they are only offering takeout and delivery, you can call to place your order or use their online ordering service that was just implemented. The new hours are Wednesday-Sunday, 12pm-8pm. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu. All items are so flavorful and fresh, you have a variety to choose from. My favorite thing to order are the bayou tenders coated in the bayou hotboy sauce, has the right amount of heat. You can get the wings and tenders coated with sauce or you can get your dipping sauce on the side. Some other must-haves are the onion rings, jambalaya, garlic parmesan fries, alligator bites. I could go on and on. read more

I've rarely seen a restaurant want my business less than Bayou Hot Wings does. Sporadic hours with zero updates on their website or social media - I've placed online orders and gotten to the confirm button only for it to say they're not taking online orders at the moment. Twice I've driven there during business hours to find nothing but a spooky haunted house of a closed wing joint. I finally made it there while they were open to see 3 or 4 handwritten notes taped outside saying "NO WALK UP ORDERS" -- Okay, fine I'll just call it in from here, then I see yet another handwritten note "DO NOT CALL IN YOUR ORDER FROM THIS AREA." Alright, message heard loud and clear. Good luck. read more

Heard great things and saw awesome pictures but this fell very short of expectations. Flavor severely lacking, this could have been due to lack of sauce. Everything pictured was "coated" but as you can see you can barely see the sauce. I gave them 3 stars because everything was hot and cooked to my liking. I was really excited to taste their flavors but after this visit I probably won't be returning. I could get crispy un-sauced wings from Popeyes or anywhere else honestly. read more

While in NOLA I stumbled across this gem. A friend recommended it and always the foodie I figured why not? I have never bought wings in NOLA but I'm glad I tried these. The Bayou Sweet Heat was the perfect blend of sweet and spicy...fried to a wonderful crispy that absorbs and holds the sauce well. The Ranch Fries....whew!!! Those are a meal all by themselves. The staff was friendly and patient. I had no issues with getting my questions answered about the flavors or heat consistency. This restaurant was featured on Man vs Food and has a challenge for the HOTTEST wings. It's small so eating in wouldn't be recommended. They do have a couple of picnic tables outside. read more

Everyone knows the chicken tenders and wings here are awesome (if not, read my previous review), but what else is awesome is their customer service. It was nice weather today so my husband and I decided to walk over with our dog and new puppy to get wings and get rid of some of that new puppy energy. It started to get a bit toasty, so my husband bought them a water bottle, but the puppy was struggling to figure out how to drink out of the squirt bottle, and the owner noticed, so he was kind enough to bring out a plastic container with water in it. Which was an incredibly kind gesture and we (and the puppy) were super grateful! So thank you! P.s. lemon pepper might be our new favorite flavor, and both dogs loved getting little pieces of chicken tenders for being such good boys! They both think the chicken tenders are the best walk treat ever! So human AND dog approval :) read more

Just yum, I love winging sometimes for lunch and dinner here. Every choice and flavor for me has been such a great hit for my taste buds. It's call in to order and pick up type of place however they do have seating areas and benches outside to eat. What I usually order are obviously the wings, but the secret is to get them tossed in hot honey mustard( yes it's a thing, it's my thing at least) it just magically does it for me. I think that kinda know me or have e my phone number down in the system that they don't have to take my name anymore which may be a bad a good thing! Any who on this particular trip I ordered their bleu cheese burger and I was very very surprised at how freaking awesome it tasted! It comes with a side of fries as well and those fries were bomb af. There's like this juicy tenderness to the burger but it's hugggggge and you get to dress it how you want bcos it's on the side. But I'm glad I chose a burger this time and it turned out to be great! read more

One of my favorite wing spots anywhere. So simple to call in and they have your order ready right away. Good service would make me a regular here. They have the variety. Whether you want drier wings or more saucy, they have just what you need. The flavor is excellent here. It's the college spot right across Tulane so you'll see the younger crowd waiting around. They have a spice challenge with photos posted all over the shop of who has completed it. Honestly, this is one of my favorites for chicken wings and the spice level is tolerable. Fries are great too. Can't go wrong here in terms of price and taste. read more

The wings were as ordered. Cooked exactly as ordered. Great flavor. The order was prepared in no time. Friendly service.

It wasnt long ago that we realized the Nola area was void of good chicken wings. When I say good, I mean their focus is wings and theyre meaty with tasty sauces. That being said, Bayou Wings is all of the above. They also have big frog legs and french fries. The workers were super friendly and helpful on our first visit. We sampled some spicy sauces before narrowing down our selection. The lemon pepper, bbq and hot were all good. Drinks are bottled. The only down side is the seating. There are about 8 bar stools inside and a picnic bench outside so plan to take it to go. There is also a challenge for any heat seekers. Adam from the Food Network apparently stopped by a couple times and you can find his pics on the wall with a few other competitors. They wont tell you what peppers are in the sauce but looking at the pain in their eyes on the wall of pics- that challenge is serious business. read more

I ordered the shrimp on bun and my bun and shrimp were burnt and my fries were cold. It was not worth $16

The information online is NOT accurate. They are only accepting online orders. No walk in, not by phone call when you stand outside because they don't allow customers inside. Very disappointed. Covid seems to be an excuse to not give good customer service these days. read more
