I found my new wing spot in Charlotte! I'm really indecisive so was glad to see for 25.99 you get 25 wings and 5 flavors. Tried the honey hot, 24 karat gold, medium and honey mustard. My favorite were the honey hots. The ranch dressing was homemade and have a good portion size. Also, ordered the appetizers sampler of fried mushrooms, onion rings and fried green beans. Definitely all made in house. Service was awesome too! read more

Here's the thing. These wings are very good. Probably my go to spot out of all the other places I've tried: DD peckers, Fox and Hound, Seoul Food, Buffalo Rings and Wings, etc. etc. The problem is that they are inconsistent with their customer service, and they can't stay open to the posted closing time on the weekend. I've went at 915 one time only to be told the kitchen was closed because their Fryers had been overworked do to the high volume of customers. Thankfully a good manager was working that day and told the kitchen they could do one last order of bone in wings and he even threw in a few extras for the inconvenience. The next time I went to the restaurant at 9:30. I called ahead to try to avoid the situation from last time but the phone was busy. I went anyway, big mistake, because they are supposed to stay open until 10. I get there, a different manager is there, the kitchen has been overrun due to the volume of customers, and, they leave the phone off the hook deliberately to stop people from ordering over the phone. The manager on this occasion was rude and didn't seem to care that the business was essentially lying about its hours and inconveniencing customers. Nothing was done. I called back today at 9:00pm and one of the employees tells me the same thing. You guys get two stars for the good food but customer service is terrible and their business acumen is lacking. If you know your fryers can't handle the volume over the weekends, either get more fryers, or adjust your business hours. It's really that simple. read more

The honey BBQ wings are to die for. This is our go to place after ball games with the kids. Their ranch is amazing

My family and I have eating here for YEARS yet tonight I called to place an order for pick up at 9p and I'm told they are closed. I asked "how are you closed when you don't close until 10" & the lady then switched it up and stated "ohh Umh we closed the kitchen", still confused as to how their business hours are until 10pm and they've closed the kitchen an hour early. Needless to say, we are disappointed and won't be returning. I'm also going to contact the Better Business Bureau and inform ALL of my foodie friends! read more

Best wings in the city. I challenge my friends all the time, if these wings aren't the best, I'll comp your meal myself! I haven't had to payout yet. The hot ranch wings is my favorite. I recommend the cheese balls and green beans. You can't go wrong with some of the entrees but I did not have on this visit. Service was good at the bar. Staff was friendly and place was clean. Worth the drive from anywhere in Charlotte! read more

Wing king has great wings and some of the best fried pickles. I normally order to go but inside is a friendly local bar feel to it. Staff is helpful and friendly. read more

Wings are some of the best I've had in Charlotte!! They're always well cooked and offer variety of sauces.

The best wings hands down in Charlotte. Their buffalo chicken philly is also great. They're known for their shot called "fuck you brad". Don't leave without having one. read more

A cafe that closes their kitchen at 930 yet they're open til 11? I won't be back....

This place is a dive but their wings are off the chain! And they make their own Blue cheese! read more

Haven't been here in years probably because it's ok the other side of town for me but it was definitely worth the drive! It was still as good as I remember it being. I ordered 10 wings half hot and half lemon pepper as well as the buffalo oysters. They were some of the best fried oysters I've had and the wings as always were on point. Just the right amount of seasoning and sauce on all of it. They also have some of the best Bleu cheese dressing. I called in the order and the bartender was super helpful with all my questions and even me calling right back after we hung up to change my order. I was told 15-20min and I arrived in 17mins and it was right there ready for me. The bartender was fast and friendly getting to me and ringing me up. I will be making this drive more often when I am craving wings! read more

Wing King Cafe - Buffalo Oysters - American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

These are without a doubt the best wings I've had in Charlotte! They're crispy and the flavors are pretty damn good

My brother said that this place was amazing so I tried it. I'm a bit of a good snob and have been blessed in my life to enjoy some pretty exceptional culinary experiences...this was not one. I think I would honestly rate them a 3.5 stars if I could give them a half of star...the food was okay, hot, interesting flavors but none of them wow'd me. The bartender who helped me was very nice and she was very accommodating. I guess I would return but not in love. Yelp ratings state that Three Stars = AOk I guess I can agree with that. Enjoy!

Delicious wings! The Old Bay wings are awesome. The homemade chips are another must order.

This place is close to my job and I can always smell the food coming outside so it's always hard not to eat here. Today was my second time goinng and the food didn't disappoint so I was very happy to leave a review! I've ordered wings, fried pickles , fried mushrooms and all were not disappointing !!! Very good! Honey hot and spicy garlic Parmesan are my top two flavors. They're so good it's hard to tRy any new flavors! Service is always good and the ranch is homemade I always ask for an extra one. Depending on who you get depends on whether they charge. It's a bit pricey which is the only reason I don't go often. I even went out of my budget today just to get them lol lol lol very good must try!! read more

Best wings on this side of room with lots of different flavors. Fries are one of my favorites from this restaurant. If you order wings definitely try the garlic lemon pepper. read more

The best thing about Wing King Cafe is the variety of wings you get and the prices for the portion sizes. Some of the wing flavors are hit or miss, and occasionally even the flavors you like are so-so on a really busy night. However, every time we've gone the wings are always crispy and hot. The Cajun garlic, rotisserie, and mesquite are my favorites so far. The salt and vinegar, southwest, sweet chili, and garlic parmesan are also decent selections. I didn't care much for the Ming, as the sauce was so dark it looked like the wing was burnt (although it's been years since I tried it). None of the flavors I've had were overly hot. Their blue cheese and ranch sauces are thick and tasty. I appreciate that their regular wings are not breaded, which means we can eat them when we are watching our carbs. They have a pretty decent selection of grilled wings as well. Unfortunately, they don't have a great selection of healthier sides. Everything is deep fried (and delicious) except their salads or baked potatoes, which is a bit unfortunate. However, if you like the deep fried items, their onion rings and fried mushrooms are both pretty good - the batter is crispy and flavorful. I haven't tried a lot of their menu other than wings and sides, but most of what I've tried has been fairly good. The atmosphere here is a bit of a dive bar with a family room on the side, but if that isn't your thing it is easy to get their wings to go. They are generally quick with to-go orders. Their customer service is usually pretty quick and friendly, even when they are busy. Overall, it's a decent spot to get wings and/or fried delights. read more

This place is legit!!! We absolutely love their wings!! Always order extra crispy as a personal preference and they come perfect every time! They have curbside to go so they bring it right to you. Everyone is wearing a mask and the food is always hot! The hot bbq are by far our favorite but are def spicy!!! Hot garlic are also delicious!! We recently tried their onion rings which are seasoned and amazing. So happy we found this place close to home! read more

Great variety of wing flavors. I've only had take out but they are friendly when I call and the order is ready when they quote and accurate.

Why is it that this business NEVER answers its phone??? All u get is a busy tone...ive heard the wings were good here but how are u supposed to even know if u cant call to place an oder?? Makes no sense to me. read more

One of the best places in Charlotte for wings and comfort food. Must try the Ming wings and Long Island Ice Tea

Wing King has been my go to place for great wings, burgers, fried pickles, and loads more. The service is always top notch. It's a great local watering hole and a place to watch a game. read more

DON'T ORDER ON POSTMATES! Although the food quality is mostly decent if you order online or over the phone there is an extremely good chance your order will be incorrect. If you order on postmates and your order is incorrect they will just blame postmates. The postmates driver shouldn't be opening boxes to see if the food is prepared correctly, but they believe it should. The postmates driver shouldn't have to run a quality check before it leaves when the restaurant isn't willing to do the same. I have given this place way too many chances, so maybe you don't have to. read more

The food was extremely bland and they were out of almost everything. The service was horrible because of short staff. The atmosphere was very strange looked more like a storage unit then a restaurant. read more

I used to eat here literally everyday. I worked 2 minutes away and was pregnant. Then i found a new job closer to home and never made my way back. That was 15 years ago. By chance I was in the area and thought, I'm going to stop by. I am so glad that after all this time, nothing has changed. They still have the best hot wings and chili cheese fries I've ever had. If you are looking for a place to relax and have good food with good people... this is your place. Thank me later! read more

Their wings are awesome. They have alot if flavors and you can get them fried or grilled. Friendly staff and quick service. read more

Wing King Cafe - Grilled Cajun wings - American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I must say, being a avid wing guy I haven't had wings this good in long time! I enjoyed the flavor and the blue cheese (thick like I like it). They also have a small bar to have a drink while you enjoying those great wings. A lot of places have those fatty flappy wings but these wings I could eat with my eyes wide open enjoying every bite. If your near this place, stop by and grab to Hot BBQ with blue cheese and you'll be smacking your lips and licking your fingers with joy read more

Wing King Cafe - American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Great food as always. No complaints. The Lemon pepper wings seem to be too salty for my taste, but otherwise a home run with everything else. Can't go wrong. Fast service as well. read more

Everyone knows that wing king has awesome wings...no doubt about that, but everything on the menu is is great at any point in time. The fried mushrooms come out piping hot every time and if you like fried oysters, you need to come check theirs out. You have plenty of choices in beer selection and drink specials and your choice of televisions to make sure that you catch the right game. The servers are consistent and you see the same folks all the time. They are quick and make sure all of your needs are met. Another good spot for weekend takeout. They need to bring one on the north side of town. You know it's got to be good if I will come from the University area for wings. read more

Hands down the best wings and fried pickles in town. My husband and I are both natives and we eat here at least once a month! Our go-to is the King's Platter, there are two many wonderful wing flavors to ever just pick one! read more

Ok this is a confusing review for me to write. I LOVE the cajun chicken tenders at the Wing King. LOVE THEM, no really I LOVE THEM. I also really enjoy the Ming Wings, very unusual and I'm pretty sure you can't get them anywhere else. BUT...in the 20 or so times I've been there I can honestly say I've ALWAYS experienced terrible service. Sometimes worse than others, but this is why I now consider Wing King a take-out ONLY place. Waitresses are distance and frequently down-right rude. They are neglectful and act pissy if you ask them for anything. Wing King would probably be way more successful with an entirely new wait staff. read more

I've been loving wings since my college days...but we'll save that story for another time & site :-) This place is on my top 5 of wings spots I've tried! The Cafe' itself is small and dark. There is a a bar and tables scattered throughout. It seems to be a pretty popular spot to grab a drink, eat some wings and mingle with the locals. I tried to wing sampler, it comes with 25 wings 5 flavors, and since we were feeding over 5 folks we ordered 2 of them. The flavors were: buffalo, bbq, lemon pepper, jerk,...can't remember the rest (note to self, write review sooner) but they were all good! The prices were really reasonable too! I'm gonna be in Charlotte quite a bit so I know where to go to get my wing fix! read more

After hearing all of the Wing King hoopla and praise, it was destiny to stumble upon this fantastic joint at some point. We had played a round of disc golf down at Winthrop and were on our way back up I-77 and then *CLICK*. We were close to Wing King. The timing was perfect, the hunger was imminent, and wings were on the menu. On our way, we read a few other reviews and were a little iffy about dining in or taking out. We decided the full experience was necessary. We seated ourselves and grabbed our own menu and began to peruse the mountain of sauces available. Everything from teriyaki to crazy dry rubs. We settled on a large basket of fries with a side of medium sauce for my wife and 10 wings (5 Medium and 5 Honey Hot) for me. The fries are great. Krinkle cut with a subtle dusting of seasoning salt. The medium sauce....Textbook. It really does stick the the doctrine of "medium" and doesn't provide too much spiciness. Pungent flavor and well rounded with a buttery finish. The wings are evenly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside and a good mix of flats and drums. I'm a big fan of the mixture as I feel flats tend to have more flavor and are more tender. The sauces work wonders on chicken. Goodness gracious. The medium will make any dyed in the wool wing-lover weak at the knees. The honey hot is something out of a romance novel. A sweet, succulent sauce that is thick like honey and has a slight twinge of heat. We even started dipping our fries in it! Usually 10 wings is too much for me, but I muscled through these bad boys with ease. I would have to say that Wing King lives up to the infamy. Wings that can turn my head and stay in my flavor memory are rare. I look forward to many visits to come! read more

FREAKING IN LOVE. 25 wings/five flavors for $18.95? Yes, please! Honey gold = amazing. Please don't come here expecting a gourmet, fancy experience. It is what it should be: a dive-y bar in a strip mall that serves up delicious wings and sides for more than reasonable prices. I got a pick-two combo of onion rings and fried pickles for $7.95 that went great with the wings. I've been hunting all over Charlotte for the best eats to take friends when they come visit us in town and this will definitely be on our list of places to take them for cheap, yummy food that's quick and convenient. read more

Here's something I don't eat. Wings. But there's so much more to the menu here at Wing King. Between fried pickles (spears OR chips), raw fries (chips), fried...other things, and french fries, there's really no way to go wrong. While the Mr opts for wings in the Honey Hot BBQ sauce, I order a HUGE side of fries with bleu cheese and Honey Hot BBQ on the side for dipping. Nothing makes the inner fat kid happy like dunking some crispy, hot french fries into a ramekin of cheese. So, so good. Beer selection is reasonable, bathrooms tidy and clientele delightful. You'll find all kinds of people here, regulars at the bar and families in tables and booths around the restaurant. It's pretty inexpensive, too. All in all, it's no wonder that Wing King ranks up there with the best in Charlotte. Go see for yourself! It's worth the drive. read more

Really great chicken wings, amazing price!! I love the grilled wings and the homemade ranch dressing. While I haven't ever dined in, I love their quick takeout service. Better than wild wing cafe and buffalo wild wings on this side of town. read more

We have been going to Wing-King for years, and have always enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Typically in there at least monthly. BUT, the conversation over dinner the other night went something like "If we hadn't been in here so much, this would be our last time." At the risk of blaming the owners for the actions of their staff, it was pretty crappy. Cold food, inattentive service, a waitress who went MIA for long periods- the whole mantra of what to do wrong in a restaurant. And it wasn't crowded! Another snippet of conversation was, "Slightly less honest people would have just walked out and stiffed any waitress who made us wait this long to get the check." It'll be a while before we go back. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for about 5 years now. & the customer service has went down. The food isn't as good as it used to be either. Oh and if you call in to get a to go order you get charged $.50 You also get charged for extra ranch. read more

Lunch June 11 Yep, 4 Stars to a WING JOINT! Here's why: 1) Awesome variety of Flavors - too many flavors to list - many unique and creative! 2) We tried 6 flavors of wings and all were awesome! - Our favorites were Mesquite & Teriyaki - All wings came out hot and juicy 3) King Sampler at $19.95 is a great value 4) Homemade Ranch dressing for salad and dipping sauce was very tasty! 5) Waiter suggested the "re-fired" Honey Hot Wings and we got some -- WOW! (TIP) -- Waiter said all wings were better if ordered "re-fired" 6) Menu prices very reasonable ++ Only drawback was the coleslaw - it was awful! If you want to make your meal/order a "platter" DONT, just order the fries on the side! I will definitely go back and try more flavors and options! read more

Probably gets 1-star for ambiance, but the wings are great (and that's the point, right?!). I highly recommend the sampler platter- you get to try 4 or 5 different kinds of wings, and really you cant go wrong with any of their offerings. They have a ton of flavors in all different degrees of hotness (another thing that makes the sampler nice- if you're with someone like me who can't handle the spicy stuff!). The fries here are also really good and they offer take-out too, so you can call ahead and pick your wings up if you're in a hurry. read more
