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

Great selection of flavors; not every person will like every flavor which to me means the variety is great! The wings are good sized larger than Wing Stop. Made fresh and service was great, my soda glass never went dry, that to me is the market by which my wait staff is initially assessed. Tots were a solid add but not must haves. Wife enjoyed her buffalo chicken salad too. Sampler platter was the best. So much goodness who wants to share? read more

Used to have great wings and likely still do, the place is just to dirty and in disrepair so i stopped going. Sadly, but hopefully the can renovate and clean it up soon and dont go out of business. We need all the great wing places we can get read more

Great food and great service! The bartenders are the best. Extremely attentive and they make sure you are taken care of.

This place is one of my top 3 wing spots in Charlotte. The food and service is always on point. Food comes out fresh and hot every time and very quickly on top of that. Even with a packed house they always come through with quick service and hot food. I've been here 100 times or more and have never had a bad meal or slow service. First and foremost It is a bar and not really a restaurant so take that in mind before you head there. I would say it's pretty family friendly because I've never seen the crowd get rowdy or outta hand but again it's a bar not a restaurant so keep that in mind before you go. I've seen plenty of families and even babies there but to each his own. read more

Got the snack today at 345....bald head guy absolutely cannot believe they just gave me 10 very overcooked southern wings with not a bit is seasoning (no season on FRIES either)...17.00 wasted for my NBA Playoff snack... I'm besides myself & will not return. swear to all that's holy my wings taste like the grease they were fried in. I honestly thought that southern (u know southern seasonin) would be safe way to go...I want my money back. this is ridiculous poor quality & lack of caring about customer - I cannot eat this read more

We came for lunch on a Saturday and it was very good! I had the chicken Philly and my husband had a burger. We both got a lot of tater tots and were really full. Service was good. We'll be coming back! read more

Get the sampler! Amazing flavors that leave your mouth wanting more n more n more. So good!

I hate I didn't capture any photos but hands down some of the best wings and tenders I've had in a long time. The blue cheese is to die for. Truly the definition of a dive bar with friendly service. Will be my go to spot when I'm in the area. read more

Absolutely awesome! Good is great. Especially the Honey Mustard Wings with Fries! Would always recommend. Workers are nice and always friendly! They always listen and make the food to the best of your liking. They are always happy and will talk nicely with customers as well! read more

Order a Miller lite on draft (lukewarm) and a basket of oysters that consisted of 10 percent oysters and 90 percent breading. I definitely do not recommend. read more

The best wings PERIOD!! We visited from SC & were recommended this place. I'm so glad we went. We ordered oysters for our appetizer. For our entree we had ranch, hot, lemon pepper, sweet chili wings. Service was amazing. We'll definitely go back again. read more

The food is always the best. I ordered the teriyaki garlic wings with fries and oh my gosh they were to die for. The bartenders are amazing(Brandon and Melinda) in fact all the staff is great. They have so many different flavors to choose from! read more

Our favorite spot for chicken wings! My husband is originally from NY so he's very picky on his wings- must be on the smaller side and crispy. The sauce options are plentiful. Go with a few people and do their sampler platter so you can get a variety! Overall, fun atmosphere, cheap beer and outstanding food. Don't forget to try the fried pickles! read more

Best wings in the Charlotte area, period. Ming Wings, Honey Hot, Buffalo, something mango...they're insane. Perfectly cooked, crisp, the dressings (dips) are house made (I assume because they're ridiculous). Place is a gem. read more

Great wings, great sauces and great onion rings. Always crowded because it's always good

My co-workers and I order here for lunch all the time. For this to be titled the best wing spot in Charlotte, it has been disappointing the last two times I've ordered. They charge a dollar for all flats or drums but still do not give what you pay for. I don't like these pieces of chicken so I'm only going to eat 3 this time and I ate only one last time as they were all drums except one. read more

As a Buffalonian, it's hard to find good wings in the South. These guys do it very well. Never received undercooked wings here like I have at so many other places around Charlotte. read more

I was very disappointed on my last visit to the Wing King and I do mean my last. After giving me a hard time returning the obviously burnt to a crisp Ming Wings.Which I've had more than a dozen times and they've always been cook properly and delicious. A small to go order that the cook burnt to a crisp but then sent out anyways.It took talking with two managers who both acted like they were doing me a favor to exchange the charcoal on a bone Ming Wings. read more

Honestly over priced for the size of the wings. Not bad taste, but horrible customer service every time I have gone and the order usually gets received incorrectly. read more

I'm a wing girl. Love their honey hot wings! Decent sized wings & decently priced. They're always busy when I go but we get our wings out pretty quickly. read more

Meh. Food is inconsistent at best. Keep trying to find a reason to like the place but my upset stomach says please choose somewhere else. read more

Best wings Ive ever had. And I've been to Atlanta several times. Service was quick and our server was nice and answered my partners questions with ease. not too crowded even when busy. Its a chill vibe. I feel lucky to live close by. read more

Love this place!!! Best chicken wings I've had in charlotte so far. This place is always busy, always!!!!

Give the Chicken Wings to go... enough said. This dive bar atmosphere isn't for everyone and the rest of the food is take or leave for me. But dang, them wangs be good! read more

I ordered the king sampler with fried pickles. The wings were overcooked, chewy & hardly any sauce. The fried pickles were horrible & soggy. I picked them up during the timeframe when ordering online. Everything was cold. This was my 1st time trying this place out.I will not be a return customer. I was very disappointed. read more

I wish I still lived near Wing King. The food is pretty delicious and I love the true flavor variety they have. Sometimes, dry rubs are just varying salt flavors and the sauces are essentially just various BBQ and buffalo, but not here. My personal favorite are the boneless ranch wings + the incredible buffalo chicken sandwich. I have, on occasion, experienced drier wings than I like, but that's been maybe twice out of 50 occasions. The servers are always friendly and patient. I will say, it gets busy here. I don't prefer to come on weekend nights or sports afternoons, but generally, you can come in during the day or on a weeknight and get fast service. Can't wait to go back! read more

Never disappoints. Best wings I have ever had anywhere. It's a must go to when in the Charlotte area. We even get some to go when we leave. Never had a bad flavor. And soooo many to choose from. And to top it off........... crinkle fries. Can it get any better? Go there now!!!! read more

We went to try wing king for the first time last Friday. Our first impression was this must be the wing spot as it was packed. Barely found parking outside! Staff was friendly but I didn't see our waitress much after we had our order taken. We ordered the half onion ring basket, hot garlic wings w/ ranch basket and 5pc grilled Cajun XXX Teriyaki all flats. The onion rings came out fast and they were really good. The hot garlic sauce is SOO good but the bones and surrounding meat was cold. Our waitress wasn't around for me to let her know that the wings were not that hot so I ate around what I could with the fries. The Cajun wings were completely burnt. Inedible. We tried to power through but it was too bitter. When she came to our table we asked for a new order. We got through the first 3 wings and realized the last two were also completely burnt and inedible. Our waitress took the Cajun wings off our bill which was appreciated. The sauces and onion rings alone make me want to return and give it another chance! Hopefully the second time is the charm! read more

I was coming home from the University section of town and realized that the cold / rainy weather had me trapped on the highway. I decided right then to order food to-go instead of cooking. I phoned in an order for boneless chicken tenders and was advised that the food would be ready in 15 minutes. Traffic was so heavy that it took an extra 10 minutes to reach the restaurant. Upon arrival the busy bar staff greeted me right away which was surprising. I advised that I was there to pick up my order and the server confirmed my name then handed me my already bagged order. I paid, then exited the restaurant. It took only about 8 minutes to get home but I could smell the food so I knew it was hot and was looking forward to those juicy tenders in my mouth. Once home I opened my bag and was really disappointed to see that what was in the bag was not what I ordered. It was chicken wings. Now I am not opposed to a good chicken wing, but they were not what I ordered and on this night, also were not what I wanted. What was I to do on an already cold, rainy night with high traffic? I grabbed a plate, a napkin, and a fork and dug in. The chicken was slightly dry but the flavor was good. I can only give Wing King a rating of 3 tonight since the order was totally wrong and the wings were slightly dry. Staff as always was pleasant and the facility was clean. read more

Great lemon pepper wings and fried pickles! Service is always good and typically quick!

Greatest wings and Buffalo chicken sandwich Good drinks good atmosphere Good location Great service read more

These are the best wings in Charlotte by far. They also have great fried oysters, mushrooms and chili cheese fries. I usually get take out but the service at the bar is still fast and prompt. Easy to get in and out of restaurant. read more

Nope. Not at all what I thought when I read the reviews. Wings are ok, but stuck behind a Shell has station with literally no parking, and two homeless people standing outside asking for money. This place would do really well in a better neighborhood. read more

Almost all employees wore their masks below their noses. And almost all employees removed their masks when in the kitchen. Yes - the area where food is prepared for every single customer; the employees are not wearing masks. Wait staff lowers them as soon as they enter the kitchen. The kitchen staff that I could see wore no masks at all. The manager claimed to not know going maskless around food was an issue. read more

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

Our usual Tuesday get together usually involves wings and beer. Lately, it's been the Wing King in Fort Mill. This time, we decided to get past the fact that this WK is actually in a gas station plaza and give it a try. I opted for 15 honey hot BBQ boneless wings. A little drippy in the sauce department, but the chicken bits were cooked right, the sauce tasted great and they were piping hot. Good choice. Beer specials, or at least reasonably priced beer. Lots of stuff that's been fried. What's not to love? read more

Garbage service! BALD dude in the front will have you waiting almost 10 minutes just to ask if you placed an order or if it's to dine in. They do not pick up there phones. It sucks cause there food is great, but have lousy workers read more

So I love wings, but I happen to be one of those weirdos who prefers boneless wings because I hate dealing with sinews and creepy bones. This can make it a challenge to find wings that I like, as many places don't have boneless wings and only offer chicken fingers. I'd heard of this place for awhile, but we just never ended up being on that side of town until yesterday. It's not a particularly prepossessing place. It's located in a rundown-looking set of shops, and the inside of this restaurant is just like a dive bar. They've got a marginal selection of beers on tap. I would prefer more variety, but at least they had a handful of options to choose that weren't crappy American domestics. I really loved the wings we got. We went with the sampler platter, which gives you five sets of five, letting you try some different flavors. The hot ranch was incredible, and we liked the Old Bay ones, too. Other flavors weren't necessarily as delicious, but there was nothing I hated. I will say that nothing we got was really spicy, which is a shame because we both love spicy things. However, we may have just inadvertently missed the hotter things on the menu. The fries with gravy were also pretty solid, although I do prefer brown gravy on fries instead of white gravy. Still really good, though. Service here was not great, however. It wasn't busy when we went, but I felt a little ignored by our waitress, who spent more time with the bar patrons than with her tables. Even though service could be improved, I still really liked the food and am happy to eat there again the next time I'm in the area. read more
