Wings have potential, they are good and have meat, but the skin and frying of the skin is not the best, still has room for improvement as it feels on the chewy side. The potato salad was really good, just feels heavy. I'd come here again, it's just that there are other wing places whose wings are even better so they are to have higher stars. Staff was very kind and place has the aesthetic of dive bar with the blue lighting of a 2000s office space in the dining area, so not as cozy for a dinner. I'd like to come back to try the bar. read more

I pre-ordered my wings on a Friday night, and as expected, the place was packed with both dine-in guests and a high volume of carryout orders. What I Ordered: * 10 Wings with Celery and Carrots + Tater Tots (5/5) * 5 BBQ, 5 Garlic Parmesan - Both flavors were delicious and cooked perfectly. * Kids' Burger with Onions and Fries (5/5) * A solid meal, and the portion was just right. Overall Experience: This is a great spot for wings and more, but it does get busy, especially during dinner hours. If you're looking to dine in, be prepared for a wait. However, their online ordering system makes carryout a breeze. Just keep in mind that placing an order at peak hours--like 7 PM on a Friday--means you'll need to be patient. A solid choice for a satisfying meal, especially if you plan ahead! read more

Nice friendly staff! Super busy, we were a large group and seated in just 15 minutes! Cocktails came fast. Wings were epic crispy, great sauces. Onion rings were big and crunchy-so yummy, with a nice sauce with horseradish for dipping. Super kids portions. Biggest most delicious club sandwich. read more

Wing King Cafe - Club sandwich win!! Just huge and tasty - American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Being from Buffalo, like to think we know wings. The wings here came very close to perfect in comparison. The wet spicy lemon peppers wings were my favorite. You can order all flats for the flat wing crew(which I am not)!Also tried a party melt which was very flavorful, cooked to perfection and juicy. The spot itself is a hole in the wall, but we know some of best food comes out of those. We ordered to go. They are a very busy spot. Even so the wait was not long at all. read more

Do not let the location or divey-ness fool you - you will get some of the best wings in Charlotte here! Lunchtime is usually a packed house but somehow they're always able to seat people. They serve Coke products which is a plus from me. I like the garlic Parmesan boneless wings and the fried pickles. Definitely one of the better places to eat in the Steele Creek area! read more

This place is a hole in the wall restaurant, but it definitely has some great wings. They have a wide variety of wing sauces. I got 15 wings with them being split in hot, hot garlic parm, and Ming Wing. The MingWing was a hoisin marinated wing served with a honey sauce. It tasted "burnt" without the honey sauce, but once dipped it was overly sweet. The "hot" tasted more like a normal buffalo which was great. And the hot garlic parm was easily my favorite of the three. It combined a buffalo with garlic and parm. Service was lacking a bit, but given the hole in the wall nature I didn't mind it. Overall it was a surprisingly great experience with great wings flavors to choose from. Food(50%): 8.0 Staff/service(25%): 5.0 Value(25%): 7.0 Overall: 7.0/10 read more

Wings are always great! Service here is always on point and well worth the drive! Very few places I go out to eat at for wings.

Wings awesome the blue cheese has to be the best ever had great experience the seasoning on the fries welcome bounce didn't even need ketchup friendly atmosphere great service read more

small portions and high prices. The size of their chicken fingers are very tiny. As if one decent finger was cut into four pieces. Ugh.

Quite possibly the best wings in Charlotte omg. There were so many flavors options it was hard to decide. Went with the hot garlic and honey buffalo. Soooo good!! So tender and perfectly cooked. Delicious ranch and blue cheese too. The tator tots are a don't miss also. Omg!!! read more

This place is awesome. You have to get the Ming wings. Everything is great there been around a long time still going strong!

You don't wanna miss out on this hidden gem! Best wings and servers! Actually we've never had a bad meal. We frequent this location often! read more

This is a local bar that has great food! The potato salad is the best I've ever had. Yummy chicken salad and signature buffalo chicken sandwich. Big portions. Reasonable prices. Behind the shell station. Friendly staff. read more

It's a hole in the wall. But it's all the kinds of yummy, fried, homemade and delicious. Service was homey and comfortable.

I can't believe I have never reviewed what is my favorite wing spot. When I say we have driven from Columbia to Charlotte just to get our wing fix because there is simply nothing better! They didn't get best wings in Charlotte for 3 years in a row for nothing! Everything is delicious but my favorites are the Hot Buffalo, Honey Hot and Spicy Cajun Garlic. I also appreciate that when you ask for extra crispy wings you are definitely going to get it! Plus the entire staff is awesome! Be sure to get extra Ranch as well because I could bathe in it! read more

This is my favorite wing place in Charlotte. Although sometimes overwhelming, I love the huge variety in wing flavors. For the most part the wings are fried well and most of the flavors taste really good. My favorite is the southern fried wings with a side of gravy. My least favorite is pretty much any flavor with garlic because instead of cooking garlic into the sauce, the wings are tossed in fresh minced garlic along with a sauce. So you're getting chunks of garlic with each bite. If you like blue cheese with your wings, they have the best chunky funky blue cheese and their ranch is pretty good too. I used to love when they had fried pickle spears, they only do chips now which are okay. I hope they go back to the spears because they were the only place I know to do it that way and the pickles remained fresh and juicy. I only order to go but the ambiance is like a small smoky sports bar and the service is quick if you order over the phone (but it's really hard to get through over the phone) read more

At best, I'm disappointed. The food is what does this place in. The wings, both times I've had them, have been overdone to the point of parts of the chicken being tough and stringy. While the rubs and sauces were good, it's still not pleasant to eat. Besides that, the tater tots were clearly not made in-house. The Tetris shapes gave that away. read more

Service is falling off been going there 18 years but the last year they stopped answering the phone for to go orders for me. So now I have to place online orders . They don't have items sometimes , they give blue cheese instead of ranch . And it's like they don't start making the order until you arrive even if it's not busy . My wings were extremely dry last time and I tried to tell management but seems like he doesn't care. read more

What a dive! Dingy with a sense of history. You could totally see this place filled with cigarette smoke back in the day. This place was packed on a Friday night. The service was quick. They have a great bar menu with a lot of sauces for wings. I chose the Honey Sriracha (so good)! The wings were huge. 10 was too many. The homemade chips were on the soggy side, but would have been great if they were cooked properly. The food was reasonable priced and the beer was cheap! That makes it 4 stars in my book. Would certainly come back. read more

Maui Waui Fantastic!!! But we tried the dry Cajun rub and they were our favorite!!! I wouldn't eat in. So small but the crowd was lively on a Sunday noon game day. I picked up and they were still piping hot when I got them home. read more

This was our second visit and had a great time. The wings were excellent, the side salad, sweet potato fries and service too. We look forward to returning again and having some fantastic wings ! read more

Have to say I was impressed from the service to the flavor. The wings were big and the flavors were superb. The blue cheese was one of the best I've tasted. You can always tell a good song joint by the blue cheese they serve. The ranch was awesome too. Overall I'd put them in my top 10 wing places. The entire family enjoyed them!! read more

This is a great local place with a lot on wing options. They have dry rub wings and wings with sauce. I tried a few flavors and they were all delicious. I liked my basket combo that came with wings and a side. My husband just got wings. I was surprised it was extra for celery/ carrots with the wings. I am someone who needs a little variety, so I do not like only one food option or having to pay extra, but like I said the basket option was perfect for me. We had great service. There are a good number of tables, but they are a little close together. We sat in the main room with the bar. There was a secondary room on the left that seemed less crowded. Overall there was a good vibe and it has a sports bar feel. They had multiple tvs with sports playing. The most surprising thing about the restaurant is that it shares a parking lot with a gas station. We had heard many good things about the restaurant, but were hesitant about to try it due to the location, but I'm so glad we did. I would love to go again. Summary... Good good, a lot of choices, don't judge it by the outside. read more

I have been on the hunt for the best wing spot in Charlotte since I moved here in January of 2022 and I haven't been able to find anything consistent until I came to Wing King Cafe. I have never had so many wing selections to choose from and loved how quick and reliable their service was. It's definitely a hole in the wall so you can rock some chill attire when you come in. There are TV's everywhere too so probably a great place to catch a game! This is now my go to wing spot in Charlotte and I highly recommend giving them a try for dine-in or takeout! read more

Wing King Cafe - 15 Piece Wings | Garlic Lemon Pepper, Carolina Gold, Thai Chili - American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Let me start by saying-hands down best wings in Charlotte. Don't let the exterior fool you. Their menu (although typical bar menu) has tons of options so there's bound to be something for everyone. I usually stick with the wings and sweet potato fries (dusted in cinnamon & sugar). Ming wings and honey gold are my personal fav. The ming wings seem to be chargrilled in hoisin and drizzled with honey. Honey gold has a little heat with a touch of sweetness. I definitely recommend their bleu cheese- pretty sure they make it in house. This joint does A LOT of to go orders and they nail it with timing and quality every single time. Pro tip: Their bar is small so if you're counting on getting a drink while you wait for your to-go then do NOT come in on a game day. My only complaint would be the parking situation. The lot is small, spaces are tiny and fill up fast (shared space with the rest of the plaza). read more

One of my favorite wing spots near Charlotte. I love that you can get the flavors in grilled as well for a healthier option. They have good crinkly fries and sweet potato fries. Their sweet tea is probably one of the bests I have tasted since I moved to Charlotte two years ago, you can even by it by the gallon. My photos are from two different visits; you get a good amount of fries for a to go order. read more

Easily the best wings in Carowinds area. While the location may seem unorthodox, the service is really top notch and the interior is very relaxing. Beer and wings are always a hit. But try one of their burgers and you'll also be surprised. read more

The. Best. Wings. I have had in Charlotte. We tried 20 wings for takeout last night for Monday Night Football, and they were simply excellent. Online ordering was super easy, I was able to use apple pay, and pickup was easy at the bar just inside the door. Nice people too. Flavors: 24 Karat Gold: LARS'S FAVORITE Sweet and tangy mustard: EXCELLENT Honey hot: EXCELLENT Garlic lemon pepper parm: delicious, ate em all but these were a bit too salty Bleu cheese: INCREDIBLE. The hallmark of a GREAT wing place, excellent Bleu cheese.
