This Charlotte North Carolina Wing Spot Makes Nation’s Best Wings List

By Debbie Nance

Wings are a staple when it comes to game day and tailgate food. Everyone loves them, and they are handheld and portable. With the “big game” coming up, we searched where to find the best wings in North Carolina and beyond. One Charlotte North Carolina wing spot made the best wings in every state list. And, according to stats, Americans eat more than 1.38 billion wings on the big day. Tastes vary from bone-in to boneless and sweet to savory and spicy. We turned to Mashed.com. And, they do point out good wings can come from chains. However, most of the time, it takes research to find those out-of-the-way spots with the best. Mashed looked at reviews, awards and local articles from each state to sort through and compile a list of the best in each state. From that research, they determined the best wing restaurant in North Carolina. And it happens to be in Charlotte.

And, it even has top suggestions in South Carolina and a handful of neighboring states. When it comes time to supply your game day guests with wings for the watch party, these are some you might consider. Of course, if you are in the mood to travel, you can check the complete list of the best wings in each state from coast to coast. But, enjoy as you browse and learn all there is to know about this top-wing restaurant in Charlotte North Carolina.  They are listed in alphabetical order. Even one on the list caught Guy Fieri’s eye for an episode of Diner’s Drive-Ins and Dives.
