Flavorful wings with unique sauces and great beer selection
"As far as classic wings go, this family-owned West Seattle spot serves some of the best, especially when dressed up in lemon pepper dry rub or rich buffalo. But you’ll also want to try the flame sauce: a housemade chunky and charred take on buffalo which comes in multiple heat levels, ranging from hot to “will I ever be able to feel my lips again?” Come on a Monday (when happy hour happens all day) to watch sports and snack on chicken wings while sitting in big booths." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"Don’t judge a book by its cover or a wing joint by its ambience. West Wings is one of those generic-from-the-outside restaurants that is 56 percent sports bar, but the wings are something else. Not just spicy, not quite traditional Buffalo joints, they are pepper-y and cumin-y and rich. These aren’t wings you order to soak up easy-drinking IPAs, these are wings you eat in complete silence so you can experience the layers of flavor. There’s also sports on TV here... you could almost call it a “sports bar.”" - Laura LeMoon

"On the surface this is a sports-y wing place, but the sauce here has layers — it’s tangy but also has notes of cumin and even a bit of sweetness. We’d be happy to pay full price every time we’re in West Seattle, but on weekdays from 3 to 5 p.m. (and all day Mondays) a half-dozen wings are $9, and you can get a burger plus a wing order for $14. Is there anything that makes you prouder to be an American than the idea that wings can be a side?" - Harry Cheadle
"Cousins Paul and Tony Barbano came up with this restaurant during the combination COVID lockdown/bridge closure that made West Seattle feel more isolated than normal. Now with the bridge reopened, it should be a pilgrimage target for every poultry-loving Seattleite. The wings are crispy, the blue cheese dip is creamy, but the real draw is the wing sauce, which isn’t a traditional Buffalo situation but loaded with flavor — peppery, cumin-y, a richness that makes you want to keep eating even if you got them a shade too hot. As a bonus, a half-dozen wings can be had for under $10 during happy hour, which runs from 3 to 5 p.m. on weekdays." - Eater Staff
