Such a huge selection of different flavor combinations/ profiles for juicy, delicious, fun wings

I heard great things about this joint. "Best wings in Pittsburgh" etc.. and they were crispy, very crispy. That was nice. However, Maybe I had a bad batch but these were some of the most dried out wings I've ever had, even with the bbq sauce. They tasted like dried out chicken breast. They were hard to eat. I couldn't finish them. This is my first time so I'll give em another shot. For now, color me disappointed. read more

Big Shot Bob's has some of the best wings and most creative sauces I've ever seen. The wings are crispy and meat and doused in sauce. They have around 60+ different sauces to choose from so you'll never get bored ordering from here. I will admit though that choosing from then wide selection can be overwhelming but the staff is more than happy to recommend flavors based on your preferences. Some of my favorite sauces I've had are: - Uncle Nick's: BBQ-y and very Garlicy. A great combination for any day of the week, would love a spicy version of this too - Walk of Beaver Falls: A spicier version of their most popular sauce (Talk of Beaver Falls). This has the perfect amount of heat that I was looking for in a buffalo-based sauce. Will surely make your nose run and make you feel alive - Jerk: This sauce is loaded with spices and will make you drive to the nearest gas station for milk, but the flavor will make you keep eating em. Any combination of sauces with their Jerk seasoning will surely be a hit for the Heatonists read more

Best wings I've ever had, AND you can pick from like 100 different flavors. Pigeon Wings are my favorite, but it's nice to try out different flavors when you're in the mood! The guys that run the Avalon shop are phenomenal.. real nice dudes, down to earth, happy to help you. Rarely is there an issue with my order, but if there is they go out of their way to fix it. LOVE Big Shot Bobs, so happy they are right down the road! read more

These are definitely the best wings in the area. Their wide range of sauce flavors make it easy for anyone to find a flavor that suits their preferences. The serving size is always great, and they are always crispy. The staff is always super friendly and I always make sure to leave them a tip. If anyone is looking for wings in the Pittsburgh area make sure this is your first choice. read more

We just got wings for takeout tonight from Big Shot Bob's. I ordered the medium buffalo and the hubs got spicy bbq. We also got an order of fries. First thing... these wings are HUGE! So many places have these tiny little wings but not here. There's a ton of meat on them and they are cooked well. The sauces are really good too. Spicy bbq is really spicy so be warned. The medium buffalo has just the right kick. I thought the fries were good but the hubs likes his fries a bit crispy so he wasn't a fan. The wings could be a bit more crispy but the flavors were awesome so it made up for it. This was our first try here and I'm going to agree with most posts that these make a run for the best wings in The 'Burgh. We'll definitely be back. read more

Saw this restaurant with the good reviews when I was in the area & decided, "why not give it a try." Got the old bay wings w/butter on a bed of fries. Got the wings & left in my big truck, opened the tray & took a bite of the wings, it had so much seasoning that it taste like I was eating a container of old bay seasoning. It was way too much, & the wings were as hard as bricks. What I did to get all of that seasoning off & soften the wings was I boiled them a little bit & ate them that way, & they were still crunchy. lol read more

Where do I begin? My boy Matt and his Team of wing experts deliver on all aspects. These wings are perfectly cooked with the right amount crunch and texture. The sauces, WOW. the combination of flavors compliment each in the most perfect way. These guys are the Sauce Jedis, the Sauce Masters, the freaking Sauce Genies!!! I've never been to a place like this and now I can't wait to come back. Thank you guys! read more

Best wings in town! So many flavor choices, and always crispy, and decent sized wings. My personal favorites are Cajun ranch and Frank White, but I've never had a disappointing flavor yet. read more

Who knew how good wings could be? Delivery is managed well during these times and the food is hot and delicious as ever! Not only are the wings great, but their burgers are amazing as well! Give it a try if you haven't already, you won't regret it. read more

Been getting wings and hogies here for years now. Definitely the best place north of the city for a diverse selection of delicious wing sauces, and other great food options! Worth a visit if you haven't gone already, and the friendly staff will make it a good one as well. read more

Definitely a hidden gem, I mean come on! Great options, out of this world, and the quality chicken and fry thereof is up to par to say the least. read more

Great wings, wouldn't go anywhere else if I had the option. Ashy Larry is my personal favorite.

Loved this place. Everything is made to order! So appreciate that. I ordered wings with the black magic flavor, garlic, and cheese (forgot the name) super tasty. Fries were separate but came in a large amount. Only down side was dipping sauces were an up charge. I only had wings and fries so i can't give it 5 stars, but definitely worth trying! Great guys working there too! read more

See all

Disgusting, the fries looked and tasted burnt. The grease was dripping off of it, they were wet and mushy. The gyro was cold, low quality, flavorless. Way too many large pieces of raw onions. Whoever makes or made it has zero pride or respect for costumers. It was like the meal was made by someone who hates you. I haven't had a disgusting experience related to food like this in a while. It was so bad, I think I'm turned off to eating fries and gyos anymore. A waste of time and money, you earned this negative review. I wouldn't buy a bottle of water from this place, after being served something worse than what pigs eat. Pigs eat s**t. The bar doesn't get any lower than what big shot Bob's serves. I've had their wings in the past as well. Very overrated, seems to be praised the most when people have been drinking or are drunk, no other way to enjoy this type of food quality. Plus you're not fooling anyone, that was goats meat on the gyro, not lamb. I'm embarrassed for this place if they think they're making good food. If you want to try it out, just make sure you're near black out drunk to enjoy it. This is my first Yelp review, I was that disgusted I wanted to warn others. Gas station food is better. Hell packaged dried noodles are better. Nobody needs to eat nasty food while it's unhealthy. What's the point of eating unhealthy food when it tastes like something that's been sitting in a dumpster for 48 hours. If the cooks think their food is good. They have the most damaged taste buds of all time. Notes: Fries: greasy, wet, mushy, burnt. Gyro: Tasted like vomit with a bunch of thick raw onions on it. Unbelievable. You're essentially stealing from people. You took my money because you're careless and greedy. THAT FOOD SHOULD BE LABELED AS "NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION". It is not FOOD, I've thrown up before when I was sick. That's what your gyro tasted like, eating my own vomit and paying for it. I even tried to give my dog a fry and a piece of meat, she also rejected it, because she knows it's inedible. read more

Go ahead, order both the boneless and bone-in wings. Go ahead, order 6 orders of six to try a variety of different sauces. They're all good and you deserve to taste them all. If you don't love The Original BSB's, it's probably because you're from Ohio. read more

You can not go wrong with Big Shot Bob's. So many different flavors of wings, Calfornia Love my new favorite . Matt always treats me like a VIP read more

Updating my review because I recently came back to give it another shot and the wings were great!

BEST WINGS EVER. They have over 100 delicious, blissful flavors. I can't believe we didn't know about this place until now. It is the holy grail of wings. Hot, crunchy, and oh so saucy. As others have said, Old Bay Wet is incredible. We also did Black and Yellow (good but not great). Medium did not disappoint. Next time we will try the employee's suggestion of Cajun Parm. Fries are amazing. We had the ranch cheese (I skipped the bacon) variety. Crispy delicious fries coated in thick mozzarella cheese. They were heaven. The right price -- we even got the 3 for $13 to sweeten the deal Super awesome and friendly employees Note: You cannot sit down and eat to BSBHW. We made this mistake. Last weekend. read more

In one word I describe this wing/food joint is great... we always order wings and hoagies... a little pricy but it's all worth it... hoagies only come in whole...NO HALF... cash only... NO CARD NO ATM... I usually get Black magic dust its awesome wife gets Three rivers, and the daughter loves the Prime time... the wings are mostly always crispy and very very flavorful. read more

This is the place to get wings in Pittsburgh, hands down. Favorite wing flavor: The Game Changer Guys are personable, very helpful in helping pick out good wing flavors. Cory Freeman is the man, if he's working you should definitely get some Black Opts. And get The Soldier. For the love of God and all of the saints in heaven, get the soldier. read more

Get the crazy loaded amped up fries, you may die but will at least have a full belly and a smile on your face! Dang their food is good! Only thing dropping them from a 5 star is the surcharge for a credit card order, come on guys, those wings aren't cheap you already factored that fee into your price! read more

I was in the mood for wings so I Googled and found this place. The name was pretty impressive so I went for it. They have sooo many flavors to choose from its insane. I order the sweet honey bbq and Mr. C's. The sweet honey bbq was very sweet and the wings are very meaty! Mr. C's is a different flavor that comes with parm and some type of black magic dust (which sounded scary when I read it the 1st time). The best way I could describe it would be very different lol. Honey BBQ 1-5=4. Mr.C's 1-5=3. read more

Very friendly and kind staff! Always welcomes me and bullshits with me till the wing are done. Also great food!! I highly recommend this place read more

These wings are by far the best I've ever had. After reading other reviews here, I decided to try the Old Bay dry, and I'm so glad I did! They're crunchy, not greasy, and although the Old Bay is a little heavy handed, it's not overly spicy in a painful way. I'm eager to try the wet wings as well, just to see if those also stay crunchy and not greasy. Fries are also awesome. I hate regular french fries, and was really hoping that their plain fries wouldn't disappoint. They haven't. It's been a while since I ordered wings out -- and I only found Big Shot Bob's because I was Googling for wing shops that delivered near Bellevue -- so I don't know what pricing tends to go, but the price for these didn't seem unreasonable. Yes, delivery took 45 minutes -- but they arrived fresh and hot! read more

It's tough work narrowing 150+ flavors down to 2. After hearing and reading so many good things about Big Shot Bob's I thought it was past time to give their wings a try. Two of my friends and I fired up the internet and accessed their menu. Over one hundred and fifty flavors?! Say what?! We read through all of the flavors and kept notes of the ones we wanted to try. We then voted for our 5 favorites thinking since we were ordering 50 that we'd be able to get multiple flavors. Wrong. Two, two flavors for an order of 50. That's unfortunate. So we ended up with "The Talk of Beaver Falls" and their version of Louisiana Lickers. Both sauces did not disappoint. Spicy, sweet, complex, and not overpowering. The wings themselves were big, meaty, juicy, and crisp. Even with our big appetites left a lot still in the stryofoam containers. Now, these were the best wings I've had in Pittsburgh and with so many choices makes them a strong contender for best in the 'Burgh. BUT I have some gripes that docked a star. They are expensive, but you pay for quality and I think it's still a fair price. I didn't feel too good the next day so it may have been the oil being over used I am not sure, but this is usually the case. And making people only able to pick 2 flavors for an order of 50 is a little crazy. All that said Big Shot Bob's will get my business again. read more

I've been ramping up on spicy food lately, and as tends to come with the territory, I've been eating a lot more wings. Problem: most places have mediocre wings at best, and the "Hottest" wings at most places is just franks red hot red vinegar. Solution: Big Shot Bobs. It popped up on my phone, and I called them to order whatever their hottest wing was. Their flavors list is about half the length of "infinite jest", so I thought it best to just ask. I called the location, and was greeted by a grunt. I asked if I had the right place, and the gentlemen said yes, sounding annoyed. I asked for the hottest wing, he asked if I was sure, and I said yeah. He told me the total, and off I went. I showed up at the place, practically a closet, and waited patiently for my order. The place is barely noticeable on the side of the road, and is downright ugly. He walked the order to my car- which was nice- and I asked what flavor the wings were, exactly. He replied "I just threw all the hottest shit we got on 'em.' I said thanks, and ran home to try them. They're the best wings I've ever had. Don't let the place fall under your radar, especially if you like spicy food or wings. read more

It pains me to write this review as BSBs USED TO BE my favorite wing. I've even adamantly argued this point to friends when the topic has been brought up as it often times does. However, they are no longer what they once were. I am not sure if this is due to the breakneck pace at which they have been opening satellite locations, or if the staff has changed. In the good old days, your call would be answered within the first 3 rings, and within the ever stated "30 minutes" you'd have fresh, hot, and delicious wings. Now you are lucky to have the phone answered at all. In the past 3 times I've ordered from them, I've had to call more than twice to get an answer. Additionally, it seems as though the fryer grease is not changed frequently enough. The wings I received last time were inedible. I threw them in the garbage after trying to power through 3 wings. But the burnt, disgusting flavor was so prominent on the over cooked, dry wings, it even overpowered The Talk of Beaver Falls, a true feat! This is not the only example of poor quality. Over cooked, under cooked, under sauced, and the wrong sauce are some of the other maladies from recent orders. It is difficult for me to continue go here when the prices are as high as they are, and you never know what you're going to get. Like I said earlier, I used to be a huge fan, so it is difficult for me to write this. If I decide to return, and it seems they have solved their issues, I would happily edit my review and change my score. However, for the time being, 1 star. read more

Holy. Chicken. Wings. These chicken wings are THE best wings I have ever had. There are times I have a hard time talking hubby into something he hasn't tried before unless A-he discovered it himself or B-he gets tired of my incessant nagging to try someplace new. For once, Big Shot Bob's was not either of these cases. We did a delivery order. Ordered the Steel City (ranch, mild buffalo, parmesan cheese), lemon pepper and garlic butter parm. All three were tasty, seasoned right and (my favorite!) crunchy. I prefer wings that are not breaded, and that have an extreme crunch to them, and Bob's does it just right. We also ordered a pepper steak hoagie and an order of fries with ranch, cheese and bacon. The fries were phenomenal and totally appealed to my junk food side. I felt guilty putting the leftovers next to my lettuce in the fridge. Anywho, the delivery took less than the projected time, the guy who took my order was super nice and gave me a (verbal) pat on the back for ordering the Steel City wings, and there wasn't one complaint from any of us regarding the food. We will definitely order from there again. All the great Yelp reviews were such a big factor in the decision to order from there. read more

Good wings, awesome fries! My only complaint is they charge you more to use a card but last I checked didn't tell you on their website or over the phone. Probably the main reason I have only ordered from here once. read more

5 stars for a homey feel and food that brought me to tears. I'm not a wing person. And this place successfully converted me. The guys there are super nice. Make you feel like you're a regular. Don't be afraid to ask to try the sauces, it helps make the decision easier. I ordered 6 wings on "a bed" (of fries). I was totally unaware they also put the sauce on the fries. Which literally blew my mind. Order the pookie, you won't be disappointed. Will totally come back the next time I'm in the area. read more

The best wings in the burgh its so good it'll make you slap your momma....*smack* ITS SO DELICIOUS MA.. I wish they had more locations tho read more

Wow, totally last minute decision, we were super hungry and it was so good. This place is a pick up only place, but we aren't from the area, and staying an hour away, so we ate it in the parking lot. The wings are legit! Lemon pepper on point and so was their steel city. I'm a big wing fan, and this place hit the spot. The fries.....the fries....they're loaded. They're AMAZING, and I'm really happy. Please come to Chicago. read more

Still awesome. Sadly they were apparently closed Memorial Day weekend, and I couldn't introduce my husband to the awesome wings. More flavors? General Tso's - 1/5 - meh. Not very General-Tso's-y at all, sadly; more like BBQ sauce and some other stuff. Might have been good if I hadn't been fiending for stereotypical American-Chinese and decided to go with wings instead. Old Bay with Butter - 5/5 - I always ask for these, and they always make them for me. These may possibly be better than what I remember eating at Gooski's six years ago. All the butter is at the bottom, so they stay nice and crispy until I'm ready to eat them. Blue Magic - 3.5/5 - It should be noted that I really don't like oregano, but I decided to give these a try anyway. If it weren't for the oregano, they'd be amazing, so YMMV if you don't think oregano is the devil's herb. The blue cheese is definitely good, and the rest of the Black Magic provides a really interesting complement. I'm still a faithful wing-ordering customer, and their phone and delivery service is still awesome. Their lunch specials are great, if you happen to be home when they're on offer. read more

All the flavor choices are awesome. My only quibble with them is they over cook the chicken, literally every time there are bits that are just too crunchy to eat. They've also raised their prices, just shelled out a nauseating $50 bucks for 25 wings. read more

Great wings in more favors than imaginable. Buffalo Blues in Shadyside was always my favorite, but these wings have far surpassed. Top five favors, in my humble opinion, are: Black and Mild Uncle Nicks Talk of Beaver Falls Black Magic Cajun Wet The only favors that I didn't care for we're the Napoleon ones. The sauce just didn't do it for me. Hoagies and Burgers are also good. They have fresh cut fries on rare occasion. Wish that was an all time thing as the balance of their sides don't do much for me. read more

The wings were great. Why? Crispy and a fair sized wing. I tend to stay with Buffalo style med to hot range. The sauce was plenty but not greasy. I was with 2 other folks and they got a barbeque style and lousiana style. We all tried each others and felt all were very tasty and worth the drive. We also got some of the french fries speckled with black and gold seasoning, i think a reference was made to Steelers fries, they were good as well. The bad. the place in avalon is to go only. read more

MUST READ! I just finished a dozen and a half of wings The highlight here is, because of a third party site, Big Shot Bob's didn't receive my payment. I didn't have much cash on me, but when the driver called the owner, the owner let me off the hook for the bill. The funny thing is, he was happy to do it. When I tasted the wings, I knew why. I will be a customer for life. Great Flavors and Texture Listed in Order of My Favorite 6 Wings- Talk of Beaver Falls (Buffalo type sauce with a sweet flavor) Spicy, but manageable 6 Wings- Blue Magic Dust (Dry rub, delicious) 6 Wings- Pigeon (Parmasean and some other flavor sauce) read more

Actually discovered this place on yelp even though I've driven past it millions of times. The reviews were all good and the pictures looked great so we went for it. We ordered the big shot burger, a plain cheeseburger, and 13 wings in the 3 rivers sauce on a bed of fries. Everything was really good although everything was also overdone (had it not been I think I'd be giving 5 stars) Now I like honey mustard, ranch, and bbq but I was skeptical as to how good that would taste all together. Boy was I wrong. It was delicious and the bed of fries under it is clutch!!! The wings are a bit expensive but I'll definitely be ordering them again if for no other reason than there are still 149 more wing flavors to try. read more

The Original BSB’s - Avalon - Three rivers wings on a bed of fries! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Wings were delicious! We had the black magic, pigeon and the talk of beaver falls. The talk of beaver falls were a bit to spicy for my husband and I. We also got a solider sub. The gyro meat was a bit funky to me. It wasn't my cup of tea but it wasn't bad. The place in avalon is a hole in the wall. The place could use a bit sprucing up. Definitely will go back for more wings. A deducted a star for the condition of the place and the 1.00 i got charged for my order of 50 bucks just because i used a credit card. Felt they could cover the credit card fees. read more
