D&N Hot Wings

D&N Hot Wings is definitely worth checking out if you’re a wing lover. This was my first time stopping in, and I was pleasantly surprised right away. These are not those tiny wings with barely any meat, you actually get a solid, meaty wing here, which immediately sets this place apart. The food itself was good. The wings were flavorful, well-cooked, and filling, and the portion size felt fair for what you’re paying. There’s a nice variety of flavors to choose from, so whether you like classic, spicy, or something a little different, there’s plenty to explore. The vibe of the place is cool and casual, making it an easy spot to hang out, grab food, and enjoy a drink. Speaking of drinks, they also have a good drink selection, which pairs nicely with the wings and adds to the overall experience. Service, however, was a bit off. The guy helping us, who seemed like he may have been the owner or manager, came across as pretty unwelcoming at first. No real personality, not very engaging, and it felt a little awkward given that he’s the front-facing interaction for the business. To his credit, he did warm up as things went on, but first impressions matter. Being a bit more lively and welcoming could make a big impact on the guest experience, especially for first-time customers. That said, the food ultimately carries this place. Between the generous wings, variety of flavors, and solid drink options, I’d still recommend stopping in and checking it out.

Absolutely amazing chicken wings and tenders. It’s rare to find gluten free crispy chicken, let alone THIS GOOD! We are from the UK and visited here twice on our trip it was so good! The owner is very serious and educated about gluten free diets so I felt very safe eating here too.

These just might be the best wings in San Francisco! They were certainly the best thing we had to eat on our trip. We ordered wings (The garlic rebel, the hot mama & lemon pepper), Cauliflower wings, and fries. I’m not usually a fan of jumbo wings, but if all jumbo wings were cooked like this, I would only order jumbo wings! They were perfectly crispy, and the meat was tender. And tossed! I usually get my sauce on the side, because all the crispiness seems to disappear once it comes in contact with the sauce, but not these wings. Everything was delicious, the fries were perfect, hot, fresh, and good salt. The cauliflower wings are in a league all their own. Don’t get me started on the ranch, incredible! And dairy free! The service is top tier! Daniel is a consummate professional - and his passion for the food really shows! I will be back!

Since I do not normally get good wings as I live outside the U.S. So, when I am back in the U.S. a make a point to try and eat wings. This place had good ratings, so I thought I’d give it a try one weekday afternoon after the normal lunch rush. It’s a no frills space, with a modern industrial interior, the type of place one would expect for a wing joint in downtown SF. The wings are not bad, but I was expecting them to be better. I will note, and maybe it’s just because I am usually eating chicken outside of the U.S., but the wings are big – which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but they seem unnaturally large. Also, as with most things in San Francisco, California, and the U.S. in general, it’s pretty expensive – for wings, a beer, and a Topo Chico I paid something like $40. Summary: OK wings, nothing memorable in my opinion, and there is another chicken place not far from here that I would choose to go to before I came back to D&N.

I love this place — I think I had their wings a dozen times before I learned that they are also gluten free and dairy free, as are all the sauces. And now that I know, I still wouldn’t be able to tell. The chicken is so juicy, just the right about of crispy, and best of all the owner is a total sweetie. He has so much pride for his food, and I love his reasons for making this place. Best restaurant in the neighborhood!

I ordered pickup from here on 11/18/2025. When I call the order in, I asked for 6 piece lemon pepper wet (I'm from the south), and he didn't quite understand. So when I get there he said you must be from the south, I said yup. He said he was googling and found out what lemon pepper wet was. He say it inspired him to maybe try his own style with it. I was not able to get them wet, but they were very good, and generous size compared to the wings back home. Seasoned well, and tender, I was very satisfied. Fries were also good, and plentiful. If I'm ever back in San Francisco, this will be on spot I revisit. I highly recommend y'all check them out.

Love the wings here and I am delightedly surprise by how big the wings are. I can eat up to a dozen wings without issue but here, I am full just after half a dozen. The flavors are amazing, but some of my friends were struggling with the heat. Tips for people who can't eat spicy food: pick mild sauce and be conservative because if you are a spicy person like me, you will enjoy the amazing flavor bomb in your mouth. Also, the cauliflower bites are great. Nicely seasoned with great texture. Would love to be back to try for different flavors.

Last second meal decision and was not disappointed! Super fresh wings the lemon pepper was 🔥 and the other garlic one was very tasty too. Surprised at their ranch with dill not of fan of dill but I like it! Service was super friendly too. I'll definitely be back if I'm craving wings! Gotta try all the other sauces!

Nothing better than nice hot and delicious chicken wings to warm up the body and the soul on a cold November night. D&N knows what they're doing and absolutely everything they make is delicious. The sauces are all incredible in their own way. The original buffalo has a small and pleasant kick while the Lunch Box is flavor packed and doesn't need anything else. I also tried he cauliflower bites much were superb and just as god as the wings if you're looking for a vege option. Come hungry because these wings are big and with even just six you will be full for the whole night.

I bought two lunch specials. Lunch special is half order+ fries for $10. So half order actually means 3 wings, which is not a great deal but these are hard times i guess! Initially I was upset, but realized it was my own fault for not knowing half order =\= half dozen. Okay despite the quantity of wings, the quality is actually quite great. I'm not sure if it justifies the higher price point though but yeah probably wouldn't get these again if I want a LOT of wings. At least they don't taste bad. The dry rub was really good. However, i think the wet mango habanero, halal wings+ is better. All in all, this is for the FiDi bro who is hungry for wings on their lunch break. It's decent, but not worth the price. They have wing wednesdays where it's $2 off every 6 wing order. So like $12 for 6 wings? Not terrible. Would rather have 6 wings no fries for $12 than 3 and fries for $10 Their drums are actually quite good, best ive ever had. I think their drums count as two wings in terms of amount of meat.

Hot damn. I hope the owner reads this because this place is amazing. The food is killing it. I've been here twice already and got the wing and fire combo - it was breaking my mind. I LOVE wings, and this place was hitting all of my cravings. I've had several flavors, and mind you, I do like things salty, so this hit it. The best wings have a crispy outside, holding the incredible juices of chicken on the inside. Can't say this place gets any of those facts wrong at all - in fact, it exemplifies what the best look like. While it's on the pricier side, I like that it limits me, purely on the fact that if it was cheaper I would be eating this every day and paying the price in other ways. My only other complaint is I wish it was open even LATER than it already is (at least in a way I could go pick it up, no need for the seating area).

Chicken wings were good, needed a new lunch spot that's open on weekends in the Fidi. Menu has a selection of flavors and would definitely come back to try. The owner was also pretty friendly. Clean and a fast service

Excellent wings, no notes. The guy who took our order was really nice and warned us that their wings are huge (still ordered 18 though). Restaurant was clean and well-lit. Will be back.

Good chicken, long wait! Super crispy coating and juicy meat, but the waiting time is long, especially during peak hours. Would be perfect if service were faster!

Got the 6 piece lemon zinger wings + fries combo. The fries are solid but nothing too special. The wings on the other hand are well-seasoned and fried perfectly! Plus they're massive when compared to other American style wings joints in SF. Overall I'd come back again!

First time trying these wings. There is a $10 lunch special for a half order of wings and fries, only in weekdays. 6 wings in a regular order/3 in half. I was a little concerned at the amount until they came out. These wings are hefty. I was very satisfied with 3 wings and fries. Felt like a perfect lunch amount. We got the tropical heat (they say the most famous flavor). It was sweet and pineappley with a habanero heat after you eat. I liked it! Partner thought it was a bit spicy for him that day. By the end of the second wing, my lips were nice and tingly. So, do with that what you will about the spice level. There are a couple more flavors I'd really like to try: garlic rebel and hot mama (a buffalo sauce style). And at this price, looks like I have a new lunch spot. The worker was nice and down to earth. There are enough seats for maybe 24 people. The football game was on over the weekend. Seems very chill and low key and perfect for a few wings.

I stopped in here while on my shift working on NEW YEARS DAY! Thankfully they were open, so I decided to grab myself a lunch special (hot momma and spicy fries). I expected at least five wings, but it only came with three and fries. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst either. the flavors that they work with are definitely a little different than your average chicken spot. Overall, staff were nice and service was quick. The place was also clean as well. Beware of parking! I got lucky due to the holiday so parking was not enforced!

Buffalo wings are in my top favorite foods, and this has to be my new favorite wing spot in SF! The wings were big, plump, juicy, and had flavorful buffalo sauce on top. And not to mention, SALT AND VINEGAR FRIES?! These were heavenly. Definitely on the saltier side but oh so good. They do $2 off on Wednesdays 11-9pm, and a $10 lunch special 11-2pm! The interior was super clean, spacious, and had a lot of seating. The location js quite random in Fidi near East Cut Crossing. I'll definitely be coming back!!

This review is for pick up through DoorDash. I never knew/heard about this spot until I was looking on the app. We decided to give it a try since we were craving wings, and I had a promo code. The walk from the Embarcadero Station took less than 10 minutes. We decided to eat there since it was hot and fresh. We ordered 12 jumbo wings with Teriyaki Sauce and The Garlic Rebel (Honey Garlic Sauce). The teriyaki tasted more like soy sauce and was extremely salty, which was a bit disappointing. The other wings didn't have much garlic flavor. Also, the wings could be crispier. I wish they provided some kind of side (carrots and celery) to pair them with the wings. I did like the fact that each box had a small hole on the top to prevent condensation. $28 for 12 wings is on the steeper side , but I guess it makes sense since they are jumbo. I don't think I would pay full price since the quality wasn't what I was expecting.

Their hot mama is good so I don't need to talk about that again. I tried their Fire Break (new flavor? spicy dry rub) and LOVED it. I often get bored with lemon pepper so this was perfect for me. Their chicken is not dry at all and the rub is evenly distributed. I wasn't expecting much for their side salad but oh my god, their dressing was so light and flavorful?? It's clear that they care about the sauces and dressings they use...I love their wings but the house salad really caught me by a surprise. The chicken sandwich (not pictured) was kind of a disappointment. Cole slaw was too sweet. Chicken was stringy. Perhaps I got it at a bad day.

If you like hot wings, or want to try them for the first time, this is the place to go! The wings have a great crispy texture and cooked perfectly. I tried the Lemon Zinger and Garlic Rebel. On top of that, everyone here is so nice and welcoming. I'm saving this place to visit every time I come to SF.

A newcomer in the FiDi / SoMa / East Cut area dedicated to wings of many different flavors. A bit messy for a business lunch, so only go with your work friend co-workers. So many flavors to choose from, it's a bit overwhleming! Cauliflower Bites: This was a mixed experience. The pieces with frilly shoots on top were delicious, since they got so crispy and also tasted quite delicate. The thicker denser pieces, especially the stems, kinda tasted like unappealing boiled cauliflower and weren't crispy at all. So what did I do? Just ate the crispy top pieces. Portion was large enough so that it was fine, but I did feel bad not eating all my veggies. Also, ranch was a good pairing but maybe something with some heat would have been better? The Garlic Rebel: I normally go for spicy wings, but the "Best Seller" label steered me here. It was indeed very garlicky. Also a smidge spicy. And it was BBQ sauce kinda sweet. I was actually given 7 wings, since they said the wings were smaller than usual. They were all the wingette part, none of the drumette part, which I found strange. Though I devour more wings at home, this was actually a solid lunch portion with the generous amount of fries. Buffalo Ranch Fried Chicken Sandwich (Medium): Almost ordered the hot, but I got a warning about ghost pepper, so didn't feel like dealing with super hot aftertaste back at the office. However, maybe I should have been more adventurous since medium was kinda tame. The sandwich itself was a lot of fun with very lightly battered flattened chicken breast that was fried and sauced, so it almost had wing-like texture. Great against the buttery soft bun. Also, their ranch sauce is just delish, so was perfect on the sandwich. Ranch Fries: You don't have to worry about coming up short on fries. The portion that comes with a combo could easily feed 2-3 people. I got the ranch flavor, which was bursting with flavor. Kinda tasted like Cool Ranch Doritos, but as potatoes. Though I must say, this seemed like sodium overload. I was feeling it halfway through my meal and felt that sodium bloat for a good hour or two later. Still, no regrets, since I couldn't stop munching these fries.

Yet to try the food but rating on service, spot and the staff. Ordered to go and the staff was so friendly, the food smells amazing and can't wait to try it out. The restaurant looked nice and clea

Wow I've been waiting to try this place for a very long time. I've heard nothing but great things about it. I ordered a 6 piece wing that came out to $15.21. I ordered the honey garlic ones and the flavoring was totally off to me. I didn't like the texture. Maybe I might try a different flavor but now I'm scared to waste more money. That's normally a safe flavor to try so me being disappointed might hinder me from coming back. Also they are pretty pricy. Over $2 per wing is crazy when you don't even enjoy your meal. Doesn't have an option for all flats either. I'm pretty bummed. I would not recommend this flavor at all

Entire menu is Dairy and Gluten free! Have been back multiple times to try different flavors. So here's my take: Flavors are unique and tasty. I think best are dry rubs even though I typically am a sauce guy. I think the breading is good because it's gluten free but makes the wings texture slightly different than what I like. Overall it's good but my one negative is the cost is a bit pricey. For 12 wings and fries and no drink I spent $34 which I understand they need to make money but wish this was lower.

My wife and I wanted to get something we haven't had in a while so we pulled up a couple of food locations around us and D&N Hot Wings popped up. We looked at the menu and decided to give it a try. As you walk into the establishment the ambiance is wings, beer, and sports on the TV. A big plus for me! The establishment is very clean and really nice! We walked up the stairs and ordered our 12count wings, spicy fries and a Coke Zero. We were able to select 2 sauces for our wings. I chose the classic bbq sauce and my wife chose lemon pepper rub. The cashier was really nice and welcoming. He told us that everything they sell is made in house which is a plus for my wife. We took our food home and once we started eating, we couldn't stop. The wings are phenomenal! The wings are so delicious and their bbq sauce is just so dang good!! I want more as I'm writing this! I am so happy we chose this spot and cannot wait to try all the other items on their menu! I'll definitely be returning soon!

Casual hole in the wall wing spot - seems like the owner really is a passionate wing man. They didn't get the sauce orders right a few times when they started (they promised a mix of two sauces but you'd only get one) but hope that is better now.

BEST WINGS IN THE CITY!!!!!! Great friendly staff and super helpful when we called about quesions. Their chicken Buffalo Ranch Fried Chicken Sandwich was fantastic, their Tuna Salad Sandwich creates a nice delicious alternative to the chicken party. House made blue cheese should be bottled!! Their house made House-Made Pickled Vegetables are leaning more toward full sour WHICH is amazing, so not too sweet! Must try new spot! Hot sauces are accurately described, meaning when it's hot--it's hot!!! We ordered on delivery, so looking forward to visiting them in person to thank them! Amazing!

These are really good wings. They're super meaty and they come out piping hot. They have lots of sauce options and all the sauces I've tried are tasty. The only downside is they're a little bit on the pricey side.

dinner review. wings. (highlight, still the best flavor so far) the spicy master" spicy" bbq sauce (average) "the hot mama" spicy buffalo sauce (average) "the tropical heat" mango habanero sauce (insanely hot, but fun. try at your own risk) "karamana-the death wish" carolina reaper sauce location+++ overall, "i'm a fan."

Hands down the best place I've ever been to for wings. The wings are huge, and they have legit hot flavors for those who enjoy spicy wings. The flavor is incredible and perfectly balanced with the spicy, making the heat worth it. Ghost pepper wings were flavorful and had the perfect amount of ghost pepper to where you can taste the flavor of the ghost pepper without it being the only ingredient you taste. The reaper wings start out with an amazing flavor complimenting the reaper, and then the heat really kicks in. 10/10 recommend for real hot wings enthusiasts. Not recommended for people who are not familiar with the Carolina Reaper. I haven't tried their milder flavors (yet) but I'm sure they are excellent

Went to D&N hot wings yesterday as it looked like a new spot to try and I love wings. Would I recommend this place?Yes and no. The place was clean and the front guy was friendly enough and let me try most of the flavors here. Can't try the Carolina Reaper one, just too hot to try but the other flavors are good here with exception to the teriyaki which I think is too bold and should be a little sweeter. Why did I say no? It's because I wouldn't recommend the boneless wings here. What I got here was like skinless wings which had no breading whatsoever. Probably should have opted for tenders or just got the bone in wings. I do want to try this place one more time to try different wings with those flavors and see if I should update my grade on this place. One thing I would suggest though is that they offer a lunch special where you can have a trio of flavors instead of just one.

Welcome new addition to the East Cut! Delicious wings in a variety of savory, sweet, and spicy sauces. We tried the hot mama and mango habanero which were both delicious. The menu also has sides, sandwiches, and salads. Prices are full but portions are generous - 12 wings set us back $30 Would definitely recommend for a quick and delicious meal!

The wings are delicious! I believe I ordered a spicy variety and they were great! Excellent service too. I like it!

I ordered the mango habanero 6 piece wings. First thing he tells me, it's Wednesday and you get $2 off Ok! I just gave it back as his tip Very nice people work here and the wings were good. They offer a dipping sauce choice of ranch or honey mustard. Which the wings did not need, if you get the wet ones. You can eat in there. There are several chairs and tables but I took mine home

Ordered some chicken wings for takeout! Service was quick and nicely packaged. The wings themselves are the super big ones which are great if you like more quantity but the taste was just okay. There's definitely plenty of sauce but once you bit into it, it didn't really go through the insides of the chicken.

Stopped in today on our way back from the museum while looking for a quick bite, and was absolutely blown away. Daniel (the owner) was an absolute joy and was a fun addition to the cute ambiance of this little joint. Service was quick, with very healthy portion sizes for both the chicken sandwich/fry combo and the 6 tenders. Chicken Tenders had the lemon pepper dry rub and was honestly one of the best rubs I have had in a LONG time. All the chicken was extremely tasty and juicy. Looking forward to returning and trying to rest of the menu! Highly recommended.

Amazing lunch special. I've started coming weekly! Their mango habanero is the best I've ever had. Must try. Cannot recommend enough.

My friends and I had D&N hot wings while visiting San Francisco. I personally thought the wings were good and the flavors were unique. I think they would have been better, if we had eaten them right away. Some of my friends thought they were a little too saucy and didn't prefer the breading, but again, I think they would have been better, if eaten fresh. We opted for the lemon zinger, the tropical heat (really hot), the pit master, and the garlic rebel! The lemon zinger was the crowd favorite and the tropical heat were a little too hot for our liking. I'd def be willing to try D&N wings again in the future.

Great wings. Locally owned. Came in on a slow night and had a pleasant conversation with the owner. 3 large flat screens and a decent selection of beer make this a great spot to come to for a game

My co-worker and I were on our way to get lunch from another restaurant and saw D&N Hot Wings. Looked at the flavors and decided to try them out. We were greeted by the owner who was so nice and engaged in a playful banter with us. I ordered the six piece combo with the Mango Habanero sauce and my co-worker ordered the same but with the Honey Garlic sauce - combos came with fries. Received our food at the table and at first glance, we were drooling. We tried a french fry and was so surprised by the crunchiness of it and how soft it was in the inside. They also provided a house made ranch that was beyond amazing. Dare I say, I do, better than wingstop ranch! The Mango Habanero sauce was sweet and the kick of the habanero was not overpowering at all. It was a nice spice, but it was a constant spice that went really well with the sweetness of the mango flavor. The Honey Garlic sauce was so sweet and it was well balanced. But the Mango Habanero was the clear winner. Also, they flash fry their chicken - the crunch was an added bonus and the chicken was so still so juicy and tender on in the inside. (please excuse me while I wipe my drool off). The owner talked to us a little and told us that everything but the bread, is gluten and dairy free. Their ranch is dairy free! So happy we stumbled upon this place! Sorry not sorry Wingstop, D&N has got the best wings in the Bay Area.

This wings place is a hidden gem. We stumbled across it when trying to find a good dinner place. We entered and were greeted by the very friendly owner who walked us through his menu and the sauces available. We got to try them before ordering and selected the Spicy master and the Thundering Buffalo. They were both very good. I was genuinely surprised by how good all the sauces were. The chicken pieces were also huge and cooked very very well. This place is pricey but the quality makes it worth it. They also have deals for lunch and specific weekdays. We got our order to go but the interior was very cute and inviting. In fact, we even got gloves to ensure our hands weren't getting dirty.

Cauliflower bites are a great alternative if you don't eat chicken. Lightly better with an immense crunch.

I got the sandwich with wings and it was very yummy. I especially loved the fries! Amazing service all the time as well! Very clean, definitely recommend!!

Hands down the BEST chicken wings in the Bay !!! I got a 12 piece, Spicy buffalo & BBQ 10/10 My Bf got a 12 piece, BBQ & Mango Habanero and he said the Mango Habanero was 10000/10 . Don't even get me started on how fire the ranch !! That shit was fire Dave came down to talk to us and he was a pretty chill cool dude ! We will be coming back again ! Thank you so much !

We live in the neighborhood and tried this place. Really love that it's a more casual indoor spot open in the evening for the East Cut neighborhood, but to the food! The Garlic Rebel wings are so delicious - they had this unexpected tang and so much flavor! I also got the buffalo sandwich which was very good, medium spice had a good kick and the bun was delicious. Will definitely be back.

The only star is to the wings were of good size. Other than that I would avoid at all cost. The flavor is seriously off. Like what did I just put in my mouth off...I wanted to just charge and throw them away if I wasn't so hungry from the scavenger hunt to just find the place. Never ever again.

This is such a hidden gem right by the pickleball courts. I must have walked by a million times to and from work. The other week, D&N popped up in my Yelp recs. So, I decided to check it out. The owner was so sweet. He stood outside with my pick-up order when I called to say I was lost! We got to chatting about their story--Daniel and Naresh (D+N) are married and started the restaurant together just last year. The wings were to die for. Think *extra crispy* and much meatier than Wingstop's--less greasy but still tender! I'll definitely be coming back for the $10 lunch special.

Great service. The food is too expensive for what you get. The ambiance is odd at best. I don't see this business succeeding in that space. The D&N Hot Wings would be better as a food truck.

Thank you it was good Placed order online, walked 5 blocks to pickup and back to the office to enjoy the meal. Everything was still warm, Lemon Pepper Chicken moist (lightly battered) and fries tasted good. Next time will try to eat while it's freshly hot in the restuarant Recommended to all my colleagues in the office to try Entrance is on Howard Street, the address and map leads you to the other side - Fremont Street

Amazing fried chicken sandwich! Perfectly fried and juicy. I ordered the "Spicy" version and was not disappointed in the heat level.

This place is good! Clean, friendly atmosphere. The Hot Momma and the Lemon Pepper wings were terrific. I did take out, but dining in seemed nice as well. The owner is friendly and cares about the business. This will be a regular in my weekly rotation.

100% satisfied the craving I had for wings. Great flavors all around and was pretty empty around 7 on a weekday. Had a few beers on tap as well. Definitely would come back.

Great new dining option in the neighborhood! Generous portions at a reasonable price. Tasty juicy wings is all I've had so far, Garlic Rebel flavor. They also have sandwiches, tenders, Cauliflower bites, and salads.

Wow finally a good wing joint in the city. Wings were some of the best I've had in a long time. Crispy, juicy and flavorful. And the home made ranch was amazing. Plenty of seating and the owner was a very nice man who was clearly passionate about his product. Will definitely be back for more!

Great service -- including friendly staff -- and delicious wings! (I was surprised to find a place with salt and vinegar wings outside of Buffalo Wild Wings and Lucky Supermarket.) And they had Mystery Science Theater 3000 playing on one of the TVs! I definitely plan to go back.

People who are saying these are "the best wings ever" are kinda insane. These wings are decent, pretty big, perhaps a bit too salty, even as someone who generally enjoys salty food. The flavors are as expected, most of the normal flavors you would see in a wing place, which makes the reviews commenting on unique flavors a little confusing, Wingstop has most of these flavors outside of the absolute insanity wings. Nothing surprising, nothing impressive, why it's 4.8 stars as of this review is beyond me.
