Wings Plus - Oakland Park

100% Hands down the best wing place I have every been to. I come up from east Hollywood just to get these wings! Personal favorite: Flavor HOT with catskill garlic, plus their seasoned curly fries. Staff is always friendly, 5 stars!

So, I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY- Which is, as everyone knows, the city that Chicken Wings in a sauce, as a thing were invented. The concept of cooking wings in peppery hot sauce was born in 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, when co-owner Teressa Bellissimo cooked leftover wings in hot sauce as a late-night snack for her son and his friends. It's been one of my favorite foods since I was little, and I figure myself as a self proclaimed Buffalo Chicken wing connoisseur. Since I've moved to SoFlo in 2014 from NY, I've been struggling to find a decent chicken wing in Florida. Buffalo Wings aren't baked or breaded or eaten with Ranch you heathens! They are fried in a deep fryer, crispy, and tossed in a sauce of your flavor, and served with Bleu cheese dressing and carrots and celery. Usually Buffalo Wing sauce like Frank's Red Hot, and a little butter. Flavors have nicely multiplied since the mid-60's. So, after 8 disappointing years in South Florida, I have found the real deal for Buffalo wings that are comparable to most places in Buffalo, NY. Enter Wings Plus, located in a strip mall in Oakland Park off Andrews. I have had them on my radar for a few months, and decided to pick up 25 for myself last night. Extra crispy/well done, half hot Buffalo, half Key West style. This place has A LOT of flavors. These wings are on point compared to anywhere else in South Florida except Casa di Pizza in Bradenton, FL. Cooked exceptionally, served with thier own house made Bleu cheese that is something else, in the sauce of your style. Big, jumbo wings, not skinny anemic pigeon wings you get at most other Wing joints. Try the Key West flavor.. Damn they are good!! This will be my only wing joint moving forward. BTW, Wings Plus wears the Crown for Best in SoFlo as voted by the people year after year. I'd drive 30-45 min for them. This is saying something for an OG Buffalo guy that grew up feasting on Buffalo's best culinary invention. Go Bills!!!

Been coming to this Wings Plus since I was a kid. Walking in for the first time, it definitely seems older and outdated...because it is. They use the same cups for the drinks and bowls for the wings that they always have! But for me, it's incredibly nostalgic. One thing you can count on is Wings Plus always being busy, but I've never had to wait super long. Our server the last time we came in was Marvette. Despite being incredibly busy, she never forgot to keep checking in on us, which I appreciate so much. My go-to is a ten piece wing, fried hard, with key west sauce. Its the perfect slightly sweet, slightly tangy, slightly spicy sauce. This time I added garlic and it made it 100 times better! They also have some of the best blue cheese in the business. My mom got a ten piece wing as well, half key west, half garlic parm. FYI if you order the wings extra crispy, they actually bring them out to your table after they fry them, to ensure you're happy with the level of crispiness. We always get the curly fries as an app (you have to eat them with ketchup and white vinegar! Delicious) and the fried mushrooms served with a horseradish sauce. They're perfectly crispy on the outside with a nicely sized, juicy mushroom on the inside. For two ten-piece wings, fries, mushrooms and two drinks, the order came to $52.70. That's an incredibly good deal considering how expensive wings are nowadays, on top of the fact that their wings are big! Stop by Wings Plus, get an order of key west wings and a curly fry. You won't be disappointed.

Wings here are quite good. You don 't have to ask them to cook the wings extra crispy as they normally cook them crispy. I always ask for mild/medium sauce on the Buffalo wings as I find it has the perfect amount of spicy kick for me. Blue cheese has too many poppy seeds in it and a bit too strong tasting. The environment here is unfortunately pretty sad. Customer service could be much better from the lady and guy running this place. Any issue is usually met with them not doing much for you. As an example, one time when ordering wings, 90% of our order had flats instead of the approximately 50/50 split of flats and drums you typically get at restaurants. Shockingly, I had to discuss this at length with the guy running the place who kept saying there 's no guarantee of the ratio and suggested I pay the extra money and get one order of all drums and then pay extra again on a second order of all flats. Really?...all I wanted was a few extra drums to try and even it out a bit, and he said we will be losing money! if he did that. Oh brother. The ventilation in here needs to be much better as it has a strong smell of cooked wings everywhere. The whole inside of this place really needs to reworked. It just feels too old. They need to spend some money on renovations. Make the customer more comfortable and you 'll get a lot more respect, and business. Also, the place is usually freezing cold inside, so bring a sweater.

Stopped by for lunch and the wings were GREAT. I asked for minced garlic and Parmesan cheese with medium sauce instead of the creamy garlic parm sauce. Wow. I'll definitely be coming back to this location when I'm the area!
