New Ranking Reveals the South Jersey Shore’s Top Wing Destinations
There are some foods that are universal in that they can be eaten any time of year and can be the centerpiece of any event or party. I'm not talking about burgers or cheesesteaks, nor am I here to debate about Subs versus Hoagies.
Let's talk about wings - Whether you are a fan of bone-in or boneless, or you prefer flats versus drums, there are few foods more welcome at a party. Everyone can enjoy good wings, and as long as you have some napkins or paper towels nearby, wings can be consumed quickly.
In South Jersey, there are a plethora of establishments that offer wings on their menu. Understandably, everyone has their favorites and recommendations vary so we want to give as unbiased a list as we can for you.
Who makes the best wings at the South Jersey Shore?
We have used the same formula as we do for ranking the best pizzerias in Ocean City and Wildwood along with the best restaurants in several towns like Sea Isle City.
Combining information from Google Reviews and Meta Analytics, we have ranked the best places in Atlantic and Cape May Counties to purchase wings year-round:
*Hank Sauce Kitchen, Sea Isle City (4.6 Stars)
Owned and operated by the same people who founded the famous Hank Sauce brand, this restaurant is located on Landis Avenue between 86th and 87th Streets. What makes Hank's wings different is that they are baked and not fried the way most restaurants cook their wings.
