Wings were delicious!! I am normally not A fan of battered Wings I prefer my wings make it but these were delicious. They were cooked perfectly and crispy as expected. The whammy wings were definitely my favorite I would order these again, I loved the sauce with the wings. The Crowntown wings were good not my favorite personally I like lemon Pepper wings wet and these are a mix of lemon pepper and buffalo which I wasn't too keen on the taste. But I was glad that I tried them they were cooked to perfection. While I was in there I noticed that they had a fish sandwich and next time I will be getting the women wings and the stacked fish sandwich! I love to support black businesses. I highly recommend this one! read more

Queen City Wings - Triple Whammy - Seafood Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I stumbled upon this spot after leaving the kings drive farmer's market. Hopped on Yelp and searched seafood nearby, trusty Yelp lead me here! Ambience: This small wing and seafood shop is tucked off a side street in a residential neighborhood. Right across from Cherry Park. Small and unassuming, don't judge this book by its cover. Decorated with murals and BLM insignia, I felt right at home. Due to Covid, they are currently takeout only. I waited about 15 minutes for my food after ordering. The food: I was a indecisive, so I chose wings and the fish sandwich with fries. I opted for garlic parm and lemon pepper wings. Everything was piping hot and fresh. The wings are on the smaller side, but I actually prefer that. They were great. Not too saucy, so they remained crispy. The fish sandwich, which was whiting was amazing. Seasoned very well, fried hard and hearty. Some of the best fish I've had in a while. All in all, I can't wait to try this little local spot again. read more

I was trying to find something new for my mom and I whenever I visit home. So this place was on our route home. You'll miss it from the outside if you're not paying attention. We walked in, placed our order and walked out in less than 15 mins. Drove home and the food was still hot. My mom enjoyed her wings so much that I couldn't even take a picture! Mom said she'll try here again and can't wait to try another flavor. read more

Queen City Wings is by no means a fancy place. They have wings (and fries) and they have a couple of tables. That's it. What more do you need? My daughter wanted wings and so we headed here. It's a simple storefront. The gent behind the counter took our order and we paid (Square) then took a seat. Our wings were cooked right then and there, sauced as requested and handed over. It didn't take but five minutes. One dozen buffalo and one dozen lemon pepper. Meaty, hot, the buffalo was hot and the lemon pepper was both lemony and peppery. We still had a few left over and the gent was happy to hand over a small box and another sauce for us to take to go. The sauces are packets - Ken's Blue Cheese Dressing and the like - but at least then you know what you're getting. As opposed to a what pours out of a giant jar at other wing places. Bathroom was bathroom. I just needed to wash my hands and not smear buffalo sauce on the steering wheel. [Review 10231 overall, 1819 of 2018.] read more

I saw this place on a couple of best wings list, so I added it to our list for team lunch. It won the vote last week, so I got to try it. This is definitely a whole in the wall, which I love. It probably wasn't the best place for a team lunch since it's mostly take out. They have two small tables with some extra chairs, so we were able to make it work without taking it to go. There are several things on the menu that looked good other than wings, but I had to get wings. My husband and I split 20 wings which came with fries. Typically, you can get two different sauces for 20 wings, but they let me get 4 for a couple dollars more. I got the Triple Whammy (sweet BBQ & spicy sweet and sour), All Purpose (Asian Polynesian with a kick), Crown Town (Lemon Pepper with Buffalo sauce), and Barbalo (Buffalo/BBQ). They were all quite good, but my ranking would be: All Purpose, Triple Whammy, Barbalo, Crown Town. I probably wouldn't get Crown Town again because it just tasted like Buffalo sauce. I couldn't taste the Lemon Pepper at all. I loved the others. They were unique flavors and quite tasty. The fries were my favorite kind of fries. They were battered, crispy, and full of flavor. We got our food pretty fast and you could get sides of ranch and blue cheese. Unfortunately, they only had bottled water, but I brought my water bottle with me. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out for some delicious, inexpensive wings. read more

This place is a hidden gem. While it isn't particularly noticeable unless you know what you're looking for, the wings are very good. My service for a pick up order was also excellent. I will return when I am in the area. read more

Queen City Wings - Top Pick: Lemmon Pepper & Buffalo - Seafood Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I am very depressed. This spot is only open until 6 pm. By far, the best wings I have had in CLT. I have been to all the big dogs wing joints, Yelp and Google will let you know what they are if you do a search. Some are awesome, some, not so much..........If you are a wing connoisseur and like big jumbo size wings, move along, nothing for you to see here. On the other hand, if you are a wing connoisseur and search the world for the ultimate, small, crispy, cooked perfectly wing, then this is your spot. I absolutely love my wings small and crispy, I want the meat cooked white. I hate wings that are shades of pink on the inside, just my preference. I talked with the owner and he said he has tried everything to get a night crowd and traffic to come in, nothing doing, the restaurant is kind of out of the way in a residential neighborhood. He said, by dark, the neighborhood is shut down and nothing is going on. Such a shame, I would love to chow down on his wings, with a beer, watching a football game. We got there at 5:30 pm and he stayed around and let us finish our 30 wings. We went with 30 wings - Buffalo, Triple Whammy and Crown Town. The Buffalo is very traditional wing sauce, buttery hotness with a very hint of sweet. The Triple Whammy is a sweet BBQ mixed with sweet and sour. Very unique, taste was great. It is messy and thick. The last, which was interesting, the Crown Town. Lemmon Pepper over Buffalo sauce, look at the pics, to me, this flavor was more of a dry rub. Great flavor. I really wanted to try the extreme hot, all purpose and honey mustard. The all purpose is very intriguing, I love teriyaki. I should mention that wings come with fries. I love the fries, extra crispy on the outside and soft and mushy on the inside. read more

I was in the area getting my computer repaired and since it was going to take a while and I was starving I went to see what was nearby. Came across this place, heck almost drove past it to be honest (very unassuming). Continuing with being honest I was going to pick something else. BUT, I said, let's give it a try. I walked in the person at the counter was quiet. I order the wings (Jerk), shrimp and fries. The food was prepared quickly and pipping hot. - excellent (but quiet) service. I tried the shrimp first and was like damn that was good. Had a wing and was like damn again, mmm that's really good too. This place isn't near my home, but I will definitely make a special trip back and soon. read more

Was headed back from uptown on a random Saturday afternoon when I had a spontaneous craving for wings, so decided to check yelp to see if there was anywhere in the area I hadn't tried before and lo and behold a place called Queen City Wings popped up. I figured what the heck why not give it a shot and after a short drive I found myself in a somewhat off the beaten path residential neighborhood called "Cherry" that appeared to be very quaint with lots of joggers and families taking advantage of the great weather. After entering the rather unassuming storefront, I was greeted by a friendly cashier who also turned out to be the cook as well. The inside isn't anything special as it has a handful of tables, a tv and some additional seating which gives off a very casual vibe (which isn't a bad thing, just appears to be more of take-out place rather than dine in). As far as the food goes, the wings were a nice size and came with fries which was a nice touch. To be honest, the wings were a little on the smaller side, but both the BBQ and Buffalo had good flavor, just wish they were a little bigger. Decided to get a couple of pieces of cornbread as it was on special for $1.00 and it had a nice sweet flavor and you could tell it was fresh and not fresh out of a box. The guy behind the counter was very personable and really seemed to take pride in delivering good customer service so that gives it an extra star in my book as far too often places seem to be lacking in service these days, but he did a great job of making me feel at home and welcome from the minute I walked in the door until the time I left, so I would recommend you give it a shot based on this fact alone as hole in the wall spots with good service are few and far between. Would definitely give it another shot and maybe try the Po Boy or the fish next time, but one thing is for sure, I will definitely get me some more of that cornbread! read more

Popped in to support a local black-owned business and I'm far from disappointed! Ordered the Triple Whammy to-go and everything was hot, fresh, and most importantly delicious. The service was quick and service was attentive. Social distancing and sanitation is in effect, which was much appreciated. I loved the personalized history on the wall, it's an extra layer of culture to the business. I definitely will be back! read more

Queen City Wings - Triple Whammy & Fries - Seafood Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

First, it seems important to say that I, in no way, consider myself a wing connoisseur. I know folks take wings very seriously. I can confidently say this place in a gem in the Cherry neighborhood! I ordered the 6 wing combo that comes fries or onion rings ($6.50), for those folks that are serious about their wings for an additional fee you can get all flats or drumsticks. There are over 10 different wing flavors, I went with the sweet & spicy with onion rings. Honestly, I was kind of indifferent about the wings. The sauce was ok and the ranch was packs that I didn't really care for. However, the onion rings was scrumptious! They are beer battered and fried to perfection! My co-workers love the wings here so I'll definitely be back with them, but next time for onion rings and a hotdog. read more

Great wings, home made sauces... local business. Can't go wrong with this little gem in the heart of Cherry. read more

Heard of this place before and saw some really great yelp reviews so I had to stop by to see what they hype was about. These are some pretty good wings y'all. They are little and crunchy. I got mine extra wet and they still were crunchy. The customer service was great and the guy at the front was some eye candy (don't tell my husband lol) and he was super cool. I'll definitely come by when I'm in the area or when I want some wings. FYI-this is a grab and go kind of spot. read more

I'm mad that I'm just finding about this gem! My mother-in-law requested some wings to bring to her work, and this restaurant was nearby. Their quality definitely lives up to the other 5-star reviews. I called in my order and they had it ready by the time I arrived. I ordered the honey mustard and all purpose wings. The all purpose wings have an Asian flare - sweet and tangy, so delicious! Needless to say, my mother-in-law enjoyed her lemon pepper and bbq wings. She will be frequenting this restaurant in the future! Create more locations please :) read more

This is one of my favorite hidden gems It's more than just wings! He has fish sandwiches, shrimp poboy, and even fried okra read more

Found this place by accident we wanted wings pulled it up on yelp we were in the area, phenomenal. The wings are arguably the best. Will return will definitely return read more

Love the wings here! The customer service is great. All food is cooked to order, so expect a slight wait but it's definitely worth it (fresh and hot food, I'll take it). I stumbled upon this hidden gem, through word of mouth and it didn't disappoint. I think I've found a go to spot for my wings! I had the crown town and all purpose whammy sauce, both are delicious. Another great thing is, they have wing sauces I haven't had anywhere else (great difference)! I haven't tried anything else on the menu yet, but from what I hear you can't go wrong with any of the food items. Overall, great food, great service and the aren't too bad either. I'll definitely be going back! read more

Best wings around, period. The homie services without delay. Mad flavors. Support this spot!

The best battered wings in town. I can't wait to visit again. There's ample side street parking. I ordered lemon pepper wings & fries.They were so good I finished my 10 piece & walked back in the buy a 10 piece for the road. read more

MMMmmmMMM good! This place was a nice little walk from work, so I decided to check this place out with my co-worker's recommendation. When I walked in, I felt like it was a very chill environment. Nothing too fancy, I felt very comfortable in there. There were four nice white table to sit at, a futon, and also a pool table. I didn't get to stay and enjoy everything since I ordered to go, but I'm sure I would've felt at home. I ordered a combo, which consisted of two hot dogs and fries. It was pretty tasty, standard for hot dogs, but still delicious for lunch. It doesn't hurt that it was for a great price as well! Not bad at all. I plan on going back to try out their wings. My co-worker raves that their wings are so good, and I saw it today and I think I drooled a little at my desk. I think I should have a bib ready for when I'm about to order the wings during my next visit. read more

So glad I tried this "hole in the wall" out. It was wholly satisfying, perfect wings and yummy sides. Sweet service.

Crown town, Triple whammy and all purpose are my favorites to get here. Easily one of my favorite wing spots in the nation.

Best Wings and Fries in Town. I'm from Atlanta and if you've ever seen the FX network series "Atlanta" then you know we love a lemon pepper wet from JR Crickets. These are the best wings I have since I moved to Charlotte. Crispy, Crunchy, Seasoned and fresh out the grease good. I'm returning tomorrow to try the Hulk! read more

So I was able to finally try this place. The place is not to appealing from the looks of it but staff is very friendly and inviting. I tried the Crown Town flavor wings. Which is a cross with lemon pepper and barbecue. Wings are made to order so there is a slight wait. Which I prefer instead of wings sitting out waiting to be dipped in sauce. The wings were cooked perfectly, not over fried. The sauce was good. It seem as if the wings were fried in the sauce instead of coating which is a plus for me. Wings had great flavor. I will definitely be back to try the other flavors. read more

I wanted some wings and i wanted to support a black owned business. This is one of the local spots if you didn't know about it you would ride right by and that would be the worst mistake of you food eating life. It's a one man show so u might have to call a few times to get through. I was big hungry and ordered a hot dog and 12 wings and fries. The flavors I got were hot and a special crown flavor. Everything was bussing (good) lol! I will be back and you should go too! read more

This place realistically gets 4.5 stars from me. They lose a half point purely based off of the fact that their wings are on the smaller side. Outside of that, the wings are freaking good! They are located in a more residential area near midtown. It's more of a takeout place but there are 2 tables to wait/eat at. They have a few unique wing flavor options that really stand out. Definitely nominate the DC original, Mambo flavor. Also, get the fries! They are perfectly crispy and delicious! Definitely call ahead to order as they do make their wings to order. Next time I'll want to try their fish sandwich. Pictures made it look quite appetizing. Give them a try. Local place that really makes their food with great flavor in mind. read more

Finally found the Charlotte wing spot I've been searching for. Best wings in the city. They are crispy on the outside. Juicy on the inside. Saucy and flavorful. AND THEY GOT THE LEMON PEPPER WITH THE SAUCE YALLLLLLLLLL!!!!! Super hole in the wall style. Totally in the cut but very accessible (near the Trader Joes/Best Buy Metropolitan complex) Mainly to go with a few teeny tiny tables to sit at. Absolutely BANGING!!!!! read more

My coworker suggested we pick up wings for lunch today, mentioning she craved Queen City Wings after trying them recently. Now I understand the obsession! The wings arrived piping hot, the fries were crispy, and the price was more than reasonable! A word of warning, though. You may want to eat these wings in private, as the sauce is so good you'll be licking your fingers like a four year old! I had the Buffalo, my coworkers had the Triple Whammy and Barbalo. read more

I was extremely excited to try these wings . Great customer service but the wings lack luster and the fries were just ok . Quit unfortunate. I ordered the lemon Pepper wings with fries. Seems like the place stays busy . I will try again and order something different. Maybe that's not the house Specialty read more

Best wings in Charlotte so far. So far we've been to Buffalo Wild Wings, Chili's, Shane's rib shack, Lebowski's, Wild Wing Cafe, Brewdog's (London). QCW was the best in Charlotte. Juicy, perfectly cooked fried wing, dripping sauce that had just been added but had soaked in some. Fries on the side were great too. Just fantastic. read more

Dear lord have mercy, this place is nasty nasty nasty. When I say nasty I mean NASTY. The location is sketchy, inside is dirty and the food is even worse. FYI, bathroom is filthy and there are 2 table each with 2 seats both of which were also dirty. Did I mention the food is awful? read more

Chicken wings was not good, taste like they were fried in old grease and I did not taste a lick of lemon pepper

Wings here are okay. I'm a wing critic so it's hard to overall please me. I ordered lemon pepper wings and the wings were heavily breaded and didn't have much flavor. I would try a more flavorful choice next time. read more
