I have been coming to Wing King Café since I was a little kid...they never disappoint! I now live on the other side of town and it is always worth it to take the drive down to enjoy some wings. I love wings and these are the best Charlotte has to offer. Growing up I always had the same thing. Their fried buffalo chicken sandwich. The most important thing is that this perfectly breaded piece of chicken is huge! The second most important thing is the perfect level of spice. I always get it the spiciest because that's my thing, and you can see the jalepenos and everything in the sauce. They have classic thick cut fries which are perfect to dip in their chunky blue cheese dressing. Now as I got older I ventured off the menu. My new favorite thing is their grilled wings. Not everywhere has grilled wings, especially grilled that still taste just as good as the fried. I like mine and the hot garlic parmesan! They always have good drink specials with friendly service. This is not a big or fancy place. Definitely a local spot with enough TV's to enjoy the game on Sunday. Venture away from those chain wing restaurant and try some seriously good chicken! read more

Tiny sports bar in a strip mall. My first impression my party of 9 was greeted by the friendly bar tender. Because of our larger party, we were told to sit in the backroom. Where we were immediately told by some guy that this room is closed. We retorted that we were instructed. He huffed and puffed and muttered something under his breath. Who ever told us this was not a customer. Our server was kind. All parties of 6+ are charged an 18% gratuity fee. However we were supposed to serve our own drinks and the waitress once we told her our full party was here, took 17 minutes to take our order. We tried to communicate to our waitress once the food was brought, where it goes. She immediately got very short. And perceived as rude. EDITED: she came with our bills, took roughly 15 minutes. Food was good. Large portions at fair prices. TL;DR: Service 1/5 Food 3/5 Environment: 2/5 read more

My favorite place to get a salad to-go! Wings are also really good and their chicken sandwich is good as well. read more

Recently did a take-out order @ Wing King. I usually make the trip out and sit down to take my time with the wings... but I was on my way somewhere and needed to get something on the way. Even though I was taking out, the wings were exceptional. My only complaint was that the aroma of the freshly made wings made me so hungry in the car driving to my buddies place that I was actually drooling in the car wanting to beat all the red lights so I could eat them! I didn't time myself, but I probably set a record for how fast I consumed my wing order with cheese fries! read more

Wings were hard and dry but my coworker suggested I try the chicken sandwich next time

Awesome wings!! Great selection of flavors. First time we went, we sat at the bar. The bartender was really rude and she later apologized towards the end of the meal. I have no idea why she was acting like that but I'm glad she apologized. We went a second time and sat at a table and we had an awesome server. Fries are crinkle style and hot and crispy!! Ranch is so good. Got nachos too and it was huge! And we got the half order of that! read more

Came here for lunch, decent crowd. Ordered the 10 wing basket with fries. This review is very subjective considering I prefer my wings breaded and naked. I love that fried taste dipped in ranch. So I was looking for something very specific. Overall, decent tasting wings and fries with very good dipping sauces (also didn't charge me extra which was nice). I enjoyed myself but nothing blew me away. Great beer prices daily at $1.75 a beer everyday. If you haven't had DD Peckers as your wing destination then you're REALLY missing out. They take the cake but overall, Wing King has decent wings that won't disappoint. read more

This place consistently has great wings that taste great. They have a huge variety of flavors. I don't think anyone in the area can touch them. Big chicken wings that taste great and aren't soggy. Nice and crispy. Thank you for showing Charlotte how wings should be. I tell everyone about the wings here. read more

I've never been on the inside. (my girlfriend pick it up on the way in from work) I LOVE IT MY favorites are Garlic Lemon Pepper Garlic Parmesan Rotisserie Grill Lemon Pepper i have told my girlfriend we're going to have to get every kind of wing until I have tried them all. I'm skeptical about Oysters, livers because ummmmm... kinda like getting a Chicken Sandwich from a Fish place... seems outta place to me.. but imma try it anyway..sooner or later. i'm a Blue Cheese kinda guy.. I like it with the chucks. (when ordering I usually ask if the Blue Cheese is a sause or if it has the chunks) If you're the "fraddy cat" type of person you may wanna call your order in and leave your car running.. But if not... Go in and enjoy.. (I just text my girlfriend and told her WE'RE GOING TO WING KING TODAY.....AFTER WORK) read more

Yes, I have to admit, the looks of the place outside & in, I was a bit skeptical of what the food tastes like. Boy was I wrong! Settled in a small strip mall, which also houses a gas station, Wing King looks much like a sketchy sports bar. It's pretty spacious inside, has a full bar, TV & a room especially for cornhole. This trip had us take our wings (garlic parmesan & 24 Karat) & onion rings to go. Unfortunately the onion rings didn't fair too well on the 20 minute trip home; the wings did. The onion rings are thin & range from wide circles to small ones. The batter has a bit of spicy kick to them & the accompanied sauce really kick them up a notch! The wings were cooked perfectly, had the right amount of sauce to them & the parmesan ones had just enough parmesan on them. The 24 Karat was sweet & spicy & not overpowering. Oddly though, you can have your pick of ranch or blue cheese, but celery is extra. Hmmm? Yeah. Overall I'm pleased with Wing King. We'll be back! read more

Horrible customer service on more than one occasion. It sucks because the food (when ordered correctly while dining in) is actually really good. It's such a turn off and there are literally thousands of other places to choose from in the area for there to be such low regard for service. read more

This place is famous for their wings. Google it. But sometimes you just feel like a burger. This is my second time ordering a hamburger from a wing place, and I tell you what. You will not be disappointed if you did. I ordered a double burger, on Texas toast. The patties are big , you could be satisfied with one. I forced the second one down and now I'm uncomfortable. The burger comes with the standard lettuce tomato onions. They never ask me how I want it cooked, and I don't bother telling them. The burger is fine the way they make it, in my opinion. It's around $7.25 for a Single and $9.75 for a double. If you are ever at wing king and want to go against the grain. Get a burger. Their fried pickles are great and they come in chips or spears. Oh yeah, the wings are great too. read more

This is my favorite wing spot in CLT when I'm in town! The King Sampler Platter is the way to go if there are 2 or three of you. My faves were garlic Parmesan and grilled teriyaki. If you get hot they have just the right kick. These are not soggy wings. They are fresh crispy and delish. The service has always been fast and super friendly. read more

These are my favorite wings in Charlotte. Nice and crispy, tons of flavor options, and great ranch for dipping. Their crinkle cut fries have lots of seasoning and I crave them regularly. Service was prompt and friendly. Definitely check then out! read more

How could you not love the wings?! I mean, they were rated #1 in Charlotte by CharlotteAgenda.com for a reason! But seriously, these wings are delicious. I also enjoyed the chicken salad wrap. I'm not a big fan of wraps, or chicken salad, so why I got it I'm not sure but it was really good.. so id say get that if you aren't in the mood for wings. read more

Wasn't impressed considering how many people say this place has the best wings. They were just alright nothing special. The fried pickles and fries mushrooms were great though. My son had the Angry burger, he liked it but wouldn't finish eating it bc it was partially burnt. Service was great though. Probably will go back and just not get the wings next time. read more

Best wings ever. This is the first place I ate when I moved here from NY in 1997. Enough said.

Worst service ever! TWICE I had a pick up order and was completely ignored by the staff and waited almost 10 minutes for their attention. The wings are not worth the wait. There are other places for wings. May I recommend TLS Wings in Pineville. read more

My first visit here and the lady at the bar was super pleasant. The wings are made to order (especially grilled) but I waited less than 10 minutes before I was back out the door... And that says a lot for this place during the lunch rush. I would definitely return and try some other options. Lol I was so hungry, I ate my wings before remember I was supposed to snap a pic for my Yelp buddies. I will try again next time. read more

They don't know how to answer the phone after a certain time of day and it's highly inconvenient when you can't order online.

I thought it was kind of expensive I also didn't enjoy the flavor of wings I order (barbecue & garlic parm hot)

The boneless wings are great! I've never had the bone in wings however, my fiancé has, and he says they're even better! Service is always good. We were so hesitant on coming care considering it's attached to a gas station. However, I would recommend this to anyone. I just don't recommend coming during the week such as a Tuesday night. We came here on a Tuesday night and the chicken was nonexistent. It was basically fried to a point that there was no more chicken left. We didn't finish our meal and ended up going home and eating something at home besides that the great food on the weekends! read more

My son and daughter-in-law spoke well of this spot, when they lived nearby, but I never stopped and I like good wings. I stopped inside by mistake, abt 2 months ago, thinking it was where my takeout was called in. Ok, then there was a post on Nextdoor about "The Best Wings" near. Well this place, was repeated, several times over. Yup, wings r the bomb-diggidty. Yeah, bomb-diggidty. I got the ming wing? And teriyaki w sweet potato fries I would have given them a 5 star, but service is a big deal, a BIG deal to me. It had/has nothing to do w post Covid syndrome, staff headcount either,conversation(s) evolved around the bar. Yes, I'll be back, but probably for takeout w a diff side, I don't want to reheat my fries. read more

The Hot Honey Teriyaki wings tastes great The place is crowded and noisy, where people gather and socialize Service is great, it took only 3mins for the togo order read more

Excellent food! The wings were tasty, moist, and quite large. The flavor selection was good. The only complaint- the xxx hot wings were not spicy enough. Should be much hotter. But would definitely recommend if you have a craving for good wings! read more

I love the food! I love the service. The wings extra crispy with your favorite sauce can not be beat. Best wings in Charlotte hands down! I love the shrimp. Take out is always neatly packed nice and hot and fresh! read more

Stopped by this wing place while in town to watch the Carolina game. This place has a large menu and the place was pretty busy but service was fast. My wife and I had the wings sampler and the appetizer sampler. That was way too much food for two people but it all looked soo good. We went with the honey hot, honey mustard, teriyaki, hot bbq and garlic parmesan. All were good. Some of their wing flavors are for grilled wings but you can get them on fried too. Great wings. Stop in! read more

Great wings and sauce if you don't feel like cooking. Always hot and ready after you call it in

I heard their wings were fantastic....far from it I will not and have not been back since I've had better wings at little ceaser

Very good food. I especially enjoyed The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and their wings were good also. I added an order of chicken livers as well. Good stuff! read more

The regular hot buffalo wings they are delicious. Lemon pepper garlic parm were good. Not too dry I tossed in the sauce at the bottom of my basket for more flavor. I recommend this place for wings one of the best in Charlotte. Downside you have to pay extra dollar for more than one flavor. read more

Yeap they replaced order after not refunding me (the sign that they suck, no refunds). I would NEVER RECOMMEND THID PLACE to anyone... If u know your chicken wings this is not the place for you...They cater to a tasteless no seasoning using demographic. If they say NO REFUNDS that means they get order returned often meaning this place is not as good as they advertise..I should have come this conclusion when I noticed the demographic SMH...if u from Buffalo and say this place is I PROMISE U AINT FROM BUFFALO..they bn cooking in the grease for past 3/4 days, that's what my wings taste like.. grease read more

The wings are okay - nothing to write home about. This is not a place you want to sit down and eat with or without the Covid-19.

One of our favorite takeout places. Really good bar food. The wings are so so good! All of the dressings taste house made. Super friendly service and generous portions! read more

Love their wings however the lemon pepper wings has way too much salt on them. Overall good wings.

Great wings with tons of specialty flavors. We got honey BBQ, Parmesan garlic, garlic teriyaki, sweet chili, and honey gold. The garlic teriyaki was mostly just garlic, I didn't taste any teriyaki. They were all quite delicious though. Sweet chili and Parmesan garlic were my favorites. read more

This is my to go to spot for wings when I crave it! Love their wings my fave is Parmesan, lemon pepper, and the habanero... so good.

The best wings in Charlotte! Please argue with me. They have an awesome staff. The beer specials are great and the beer is always cold. I always like to order either the Garlic Lemon Pepper or XXX Garlic. There's not a flavor on the menu that isnt worth a try. If you find a better wing spot in Charlotte, please let me know. read more

best wings in all of charlotte!! amazing flavor selection. the only flavor i didn't like was the lemon pepper because it was way too salty. the waiter said everyone thought so. they've increased the prices a lot in 3 years and the staff said the owner did that because of covid. then he said about a year after that the ingredients cost went back down but the owner kept the prices high and pocketed the extra cash without paying the workers more. just something to keep in mind about the owner. the staff that actually works is exceptional and soooo nice. it's hard to want to support an owner like that but we just love the wings that much. read more

Best wings in town.. always hot fresh and yummy. Love their sauce on their wings as well. Wonderful burgers as well. A great neighborhood bar with great welcoming staff.... read more
