Miami's Top 5 Chicken Wing joints.

#5-Lulu My new addiction is Lulu in the Grove.  I love this place.  The food and service are always superb.  It's a good place for people watching, having a cold drink with friends, watching the game or simply relaxing.  Covered in a sweet & spicy ginger sauce which is very pleasing.  These Asian style chicken wings are a must try! Crispy with a hit of heat, sweet and garlicky.
#4 Doral Hooters As far as the food is concerned, it’s really not up to par.  Then again, it’s Hooters.  The wings are delicious but the service, honestly, could be much better.  If you’re looking for cheap drinks, wing specials and eye candy, this is the place for you.  You can order your wings breaded or “naked” and choose from 5 different sauces.  The “911” sauce is my favorite and has just the right amount of spice.  By the way, unless you want to refill your own drinks, don’t sit at the outside bar.

#3- Crave What can I say about this place that already hasn’t been said?  I love Crave!  Located in the Village at Merrick Park shops in Coral Gables, this place is a gem.  The decor is beautiful, the service great, and the food has always left me wanting more.  It wasn’t until my seventh visit for lunch when I first tried the Crave wings.  They’re a work of art.  Perfectly presented and covered with an exceptional dry rub.  Yes, only five come with an order but on the upside, there massive and delicious. It’s a great appetizer before your main dish.

#2-The Joint Bar & Grill has it all. Great happy hour, the BEST burgers in South Miami and a friendly staff.  What more can you ask for?  How about great wings!  One word comes to mind - consistency.  These are wicked hot wings, with generous amount of seasoning, flavor and spice.  Breaded and covered in their secret homemade hot sauce made fresh everyday. "Bring the Heat" wings are a perfect appetizer, afternoon snack or game day finger food! Make a note - they pack a mighty punch.

#1- Sports Grill After a fulfilling two month search across Miami, Sports Grill tops at numero uno. Whether it be for a quick lunch or watching the big game with a group of friends, Sports Grill on Sunset has everything you need. The hot wings here have no match! I recommend their Special Grilled, or if you’re a fan of HOT, try the Miami Heats. You can also choose Buffalo style, BBQ, Garlic, Teriyaki and Dale style. You can’t go wrong with any of their choices but the honey mustard is the best side sauce. Unlike those other places in Doral, the service, ambiance and food has never let me down. Sports Grill is a Kendall landmark. Swing by, have a beer, and try the wings. You’ll agree its great and won’t hurt you in the pocket.

  1. I don't see the big deal about Sports Grill. Each one that I've been to have had cold and very dry wings. The only one missing on here is the Hole In The Wall Pub in Palmetto Bay...

    1. The Hole in the Wall is a copy of The keg south...from the decor to the menu...you might as well go to the Keg ..it's the same but the food isn't as expensive and the beer is colder..

  3. Why not add the wings from Dominos pizza? They are probably just as god awful as these wings.

  4. The Best place for wing's is of course the Keg South in pinecrest...they have the original "special grilled wings" and @ Cody that is where Hole in the wall got theirs from....

  5. why not wings at Domino's? Are you serious, another patron at Red Lobster who swears the fresh seafood is the best!

  6. Keg South. No Mr. Anonymous that place is a dump. @ Cody, I agree there’s nothing special about the décor or furniture at Sports Grill but the wings are damn good. Have you visited 17 different restaurants?

    1. you..I guess have never had the wings at the Keg...I thought you were rating the wings not the decor....if you like the special grilled wings at Sports grill they are the same thing...do your homework if you are gonna blog. and rate ....The Keg South is 50 years old..it is the "original Hole in the Wall" ..but you probably did not grow up in Miami to appreciate it ..nobody said it was fancy..it is just a great neighborhood bar with alot of history..cold beer and good food...and that would be Ms. Anonymous to you !!

    2. Born and raised in Miami. Tobacco Road is older than Keg South and way better. Does it really matter how old a place is? What matters is how good the the wings are. Keg South can't hang. Don't take it so personal seriously.

    3. believe me I am not taking any of this seriously...it is just your opinion..like it is my opinion...I never said any of the places you rated were bad..but somehow I think you have something against the Keg..like I said in the beginning..if you had done your homework..you would realize that the wings are exactly the same..especially the "special grilled wings" that YOU RECOMMENDED..at the Keg South and Sports Grill...so I guess you do like the wings at Keg South after all.....

    4. I’m not gonna sit here and tell you they aren’t. But to ME not top 5. I mean it’s all in the taste, you seriously can’t compare them.

  7. Keg South? The distinguished taste buds of a guy who replaced the CV joints off honda civic is actually placing the food there as the same catagory?

  8. The Filling Station almost made the list. I do love their burgers and sandwiches.

  9. I live in Coconut Grove, and as many times as I have frequented Lulu, I've never tried the wings. I will definitely order them on my next visit. Thanks for the tip!
