1 bb.q Chicken Uptown Minneapolis Yelp

bb.q Chicken Uptown Minneapolis

Chicken Wings · Minneapolis · $$

Korean fried chicken is the draw here, double fried for a shell that holds its crunch past the drive home. The wings come whole or in pieces with a lineup of Korean sauces alongside standard sides. It sits in Uptown Minneapolis and pulls suburban drivers on purpose, which says plenty about how far people will go for the crunch.

2 A & J Fish & Chicken Inc. Yelp

A & J Fish & Chicken Inc.

Chicken Wings · Minneapolis · $$

The chicken and catfish combo is the order, wings fried alongside catfish with bread, coleslaw and a tater sauce on the side. This counter room in Minneapolis serves halal fried chicken and seafood at a fast clip, and the fried food here is straightforward and consistent, no frills, just a hot basket done right.

3 Wings & Seafood To Go Yelp

Wings & Seafood To Go

Chicken Wings · Minneapolis · $

This Minneapolis counter is built for takeout: wings, fried catfish and chicken egg rolls travel well and land hot. The fried rice makes a strong side order, and the walleye plate has loyal regulars. It is a small operation that moves fast, and the value holds up against anywhere else in the city.

4 Mr. Mustacheo Yelp

Mr. Mustacheo

Chicken Wings · West St. Paul

Wings share the menu with Mexican plates and waffles at this West St. Paul counter, an odd combination that works because the fryer is dialed in. Order at the register and wait for a number. The room is small and casual, and the wings alone are worth the stop even before the rest of the menu comes into play.

5 Bunny's Bar & Grill Yelp

Bunny's Bar & Grill

Sports Bars · St. Louis Park · $$

Bunny's is a St. Louis Park standby with a sprawling bar menu where wings sit alongside burgers and nachos as the reliable order. The room caters to regulars first, and service can run cooler to newcomers, but the food is consistent enough that locals keep coming back for the same plate every time.

6 D-Spot Yelp

D-Spot

Chicken Wings · Oakdale · $$

The sauce list is the reason to go: D-Spot in Oakdale runs a deep bench of wing flavors from traditional to genuinely unusual, and trying several at once is the point. The room leans dark and moody, which fits the wilder sauce options. Quality on any given visit can vary, but the range is unmatched nearby.

7 Serum's Good Time Emporium Yelp

Serum's Good Time Emporium

Pizza · Anoka · $$

Wings share billing with pizza and karaoke at this Anoka room, where the food is priced low and the crowd is mostly regulars who know the staff by name. The rooftop and happy hour specials are part of the draw, but the wings hold their own as a reason to stop before the singing starts.

8 Buffalo Tap & Grill Yelp

Buffalo Tap & Grill

American · Savage · $$

The bison burger gets top billing, but the wings are a solid order for a pre-concert stop near Mystic Lake in Savage. The room has a north woods cabin feel, and the bourbon selection on tap is deep. It is a reliable stop for drinks and bar food before or after a show.

9 Wampach's Restaurant Yelp

Wampach's Restaurant

American · Shakopee · $

Wampach's in Shakopee is a diner first, built around eggs benedict, chocolate chip pancakes and cinnamon rolls, but the comfort food menu extends to a solid fried chicken plate worth ordering at lunch. The room has an old-school diner feel and the prices stay reasonable across a menu built for families.

Runyon's

American · Minneapolis · $$

The buffalo wings are the headline order at this Minneapolis bar, seat-yourself casual with easy parking and a crowd that skews toward weekend brunch and game-day lunch. The burger and fries round out the plate. Service moves fast even at a Sunday opening rush, and the value holds across the board.

11 The Tavern On Main Yelp

The Tavern On Main

Sandwiches · Lino Lakes · $$

Wild rice soup and a Cobb salad share the spotlight with sandwiches at this Lino Lakes room, a lunch spot built for regulars and coworker meetings. The soup draws real loyalty, and the kitchen handles substitution requests without fuss. It is a dependable stop for a group that wants more than a wing basket.

Sports Bars · St Paul Park · $$

Wings anchor the menu at this St. Paul Park sports bar, alongside burgers and nachos built for a Saturday night crowd. Karaoke draws an older crowd early and fills in as the night goes on. The room takes a visit to warm up to, but the food arrives fresh and the service checks in at the right pace.

What to know before choosing a restaurant

The top picks: bb.q Chicken Uptown Minneapolis, A & J Fish & Chicken Inc., and Wings & Seafood To Go, with all 12 rooms ranked below.

Wings in this metro run from Korean fried chicken counters to sports bars with a sauce wall to diners that happen to fry a solid wing on the side. This guide covers the city of Minneapolis and rings out to St. Louis Park, Oakdale, Anoka, Savage, Shakopee, Lino Lakes and St. Paul Park, since the best wing plate is often a drive, not a walk.

Frequently asked

What is the best wings restaurant near me in the Minneapolis metro?
It depends which corner of the metro is nearest. Inside Minneapolis, bb.q Chicken in Uptown and the counters A & J Fish & Chicken and Wings & Seafood To Go cover different styles. Out in the suburbs, D-Spot in Oakdale and Buffalo Tap & Grill in Savage are worth the drive. Each listing here carries an Insider Score based on the review record, and no restaurant pays to be included.
Is Korean fried chicken different from a standard bar wing?
Yes. Korean fried chicken, as served at bb.q Chicken, is typically double fried for a thinner, crunchier shell and tossed in Korean sauces rather than the standard buffalo or barbecue lineup found at most sports bars. Both styles show up on this list, and the difference in texture and sauce is worth knowing before ordering.
Are any of these wing spots in St. Paul?
No. This guide covers the city of Minneapolis plus suburban rooms in West St. Paul, St. Louis Park, Oakdale, Anoka, Savage, Shakopee, Lino Lakes and St. Paul Park. St. Paul proper is a separate city with its own dining identity and isn't represented on this particular list.
How is the Insider Score calculated for these restaurants?
The Insider Score reflects the pattern in the public review record: consistency of the food, service, and value over time. It is not a paid placement and no restaurant on this list, or anywhere on the site, pays for inclusion or a better score.

The data first, then the verdict

We start with the review record, not a press release. Every room here is a real kitchen with a strong rating across a meaningful number of reviews, ranked on our 10-point Insider Score. We weight consistency over time and the rooms locals return to, not the ones tourists pass through once. The list updates as the data does. How we work →
