If you can stand it, try the Tasmanian Devil type (their hottest!) They have several varieties of wings. Occassionally (ie, at least once a week) they have a special on wings - 15 cents each in the bar. They've got a good selection of beer as well.

Best Wings in the Burgh!
This comes up once in a while, but for really great wings it's worth a road trip up to Sharon to go to Quaker Steak and Lube. (The place is a former Quaker State gas station, hence the name.)
I've actually never been to the original place, but they opened a spin-off a couple miles away called Quaker Steak and Wings, which uses the same foodstuffs as QS&L. The only real difference (as I understand it) is that QS&L is a restaurant and QS&W is more fast foody (order at a counter & then pick it up when it's ready).
The wings come in various flavors and intensities. The hottest, the "Atomic Wings" are made with Scotch Bonnet peppers. They require you to sign a release form. (No, I'm not kidding.)
I have a copy of the QS&W menu online at

Fathead's on Carson has some of the best I've had in the area. On weekends (and I think a couple evenings during the week), wings are $.15/ea (no carryout :-). Mad Mex also does a great job- both their Buffalo and Miami wings are pretty excellent. Aussie's in Bloomfield is pretty good. G's used to have great wings, but since it's been taken over completely by the former co-owner (Charlie), the quality has gone seriously. They're still okay, but I wouldn't really recommend them as great. There are quite a few yuppie restaurant chains in the area (Max-n-Erma's/ Dingbats/TGI Friday's/etc) which would collectively earn my "worst wings" award. Generally the wings in these places are fairly bland- not just underseasoned, but more liked baked chicken. -jim

They are definitly worth the trip to Sharon. Not to mention the fact that they have cars hanging on the walls and ceiling. My friends and I travel to Sharon often and are never disappointed. I believe that the original post asked for the best wings in the Pittsburgh area. Although I have never been there, I have heard great things about the food at Jerome's near Denora. The decor leaves a little to be desired (I believe they still have dirt floors), but they supposedly have great hot wings. Kathy
