When it comes to comfort food in Springfield, few things beat a plate of perfectly crispy, saucy chicken wings. Whether you like them hot and spicy, sweet and sticky, or classic and buttery, Springfield’s restaurants know how to do wings right. From local pubs to family-owned diners and late-night hangouts, I’ve rounded up 10 must-try chicken wing restaurants in Springfield, Missouri, each offering their own delicious spin on this beloved dish.
Slap Box Pizza & Wings
Who doesn’t love finding a great pizza shop that also makes wings that are just as good as the pizza they’re known for? Slap Box Pizza has grown to be known for some delicious wings with unique flavors. You can choose from rubs or sauces, but my favorite is the Street Taco wings! Crispy chicken wings with a great taco flavor, that are perfectly dip-able into some ranch! You can get lemon pepper, teriyaki, and roasted garlic barbecue just to name a few!
Address: 2932 S. Lone Pine Ave., Springfield
Coyotes Adobe Cafe
You can’t talk about chicken wings without talking about Coyotes in the same sentence! With multiple wins in the Best Of 417 Magazine for their wings, they have a list of Wing flavors longer than any other menu I have laid eyes on. I really love the raspberry jalapeño and the Thai peanut. If you want to kick it up a notch, order the Poltergeist wings, made with ghost pepper!
Address: 1742 S. Glenstone Ave., Springfield
Bada Bing Wing Company
Who knew what we were missing out on before we had a food truck that was fully dedicated to making some of the tastiest wings in the 417? Bada Bing Wings are slinging sauces and dry rubs out of their bright orange food truck, and feeding the masses a collection of bone-in traditional wings, as well as boneless wings. You must try the bacon jam wings, as well as the dry rub, dill pickle wings! They are both so unique and so delicious at the same time.
Mama G’s Kitchen Downtown
When you’re in downtown Springfield and you have the craving for delicious, award-winning wings, but no further than Mama G‘s! They have multiple awards from Wingpalooza under their belt, and with a selection of wings like this, I can see why! You can get brown sugar bourbon, cilantro lime, and garlic jalapeño, and that’s just on the dry side. For the sauces, they’ve got some unique flavors like blueberry guava and peach cobbler wings!…
