WINGS Sports Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Maple Heights

I am a former chef and now I am a self-appointed food critic. I am trained to think, read, and write critically. I intend to critique objectively.

This small bar does a good business. But it can be tricky puting in your order. Go up to the bar and order... If you can get the bartender's attention.

I think they do good making the wings. They come out slightly crisp and still tender and moist on the inside.

I learned to make Buffalo sauce when I worked in the food service industry in the Buffalo area.

The reason why I mention it... I am not a fan of how Cleveland area bars make Buffalo sauce. Some use straight hot sauce... This is wrong. The best places in Buffalo use Frank's. But they mix it with butter or liquid butter. This is not the whole and correct recipe. One day, I would like to bottle and sell my sauce... so I am not going to explain the rest if the recipe.

I order the Teriyaki sauce in this place. It is tasty with an ice cold lager.

The price is reasonable too.

By the way... the shirt bald guy owns the place and take time to talk to the customers... Nice dude... say hello to him.

Any wing place worth going to knows the best way to cook your wings is pre-heat the fryer to 165 degrees and cook for 12 minutes (not frozen wings... thawed wings).

Blue Cheese should be ordered with your wings... not ranch. To be truly Buffalo... the blue cheese dressing that you eat with your wings is different than the dressing on the salad.

This place does a good job and is...

Update 08/2023 I ordered through DoorDash. My order was perfect. They paid attention to my request for my pickle to be packaged separately. I ordered a mini corned beef sandwich and fried zucchini. My food arrived quickly, hot and well packaged. The corned beef was tender, juicy and flavorful. I appreciated them giving mustard packets, utensils and napkins as well. The bread is toasted and the cheese isn't Swiss as listed. It's Swiss American cheese. FYI. The zucchini was fried perfectly and good as always. I'll definitely order again.

03/2023 I ordered takeout on the website as the phone just rang and asked for online orders. We got fried zucchini sticks (standard frozen, nice portion. The wasabi sauce was delicious) a polish boy (it was okay...the sauce was more sweet than tangy) (I asked for an all beef hot dog instead of the polish sausage. They still gave me the sausage smh) and a breakfast burger with garlic parmesan added to the fries (was paid for and also missing). The burger was prepared well and was a good portion and had fresh toppings. PLEASE pay attention to paid add ons and requests!).

The chicken wings are well prepared and cooked. They have a unique array of sauces (Carolina Gold is the best). The fries and sampler platter are the typical frozen variety. The atmosphere is loud and cramped mainly due to the 2 pool tables in the space. The bartenders/servers are very nice...

I had a great time at WINGS Sports Bar & Grill, and it definitely lived up to its reputation. Whether you're a sports fan or just someone who enjoys good food in a lively atmosphere, this place is worth a visit.

The first thing that stood out was the energetic and fun vibe. Multiple big screens were showing different games, and the crowd was enthusiastic but not overwhelming. It’s the perfect spot to watch sports with friends, enjoy a drink, and feel the excitement in the air.

As for the food – the wings were absolutely amazing! Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and available in a wide variety of sauces from mild to extremely spicy. I tried the honey garlic and buffalo flavors, and both were fantastic. The menu also included burgers, loaded fries, nachos, and other classic bar food – all tasty and well-prepared.

The drink selection was solid, with a good mix of local beers on tap, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options. The prices were fair, and they often have great happy hour deals.

The service was fast and friendly. The staff checked in often to make sure everything was okay, and they were happy to offer recommendations.

Overall, WINGS Sports Bar & Grill is a great place to hang out, eat well, and catch the game. Whether you're going out with friends or just stopping by for a quick bite, this place delivers. Highly...
